CIaousing the Printers.
st. Bernard Eagle.

Frequently we hear the N. O. Picay-
une accused of bitterness against the
State administration. That the Picay-
nne feels little sympathy for the men
or measures connected with the State
administration is very apparent, but
'its structures have often been justified
by facts. An outrageous law was
passed by the Louisiana Legislature
whilst Mr.. VIM. A. Strong was Secre-
tary of State, requiring tickets to be
printed upon particular paper to be
furnished by him at slight advance
over its original cost. The State paid
for this paper. Mr.. Strong sold it, and
$4406. 10 is still owing to the Treasury,
which il claimed to have been embez-
zled. Country papers remember the
obstacles in the way OF obtaining this
official paper for printing tickets, and
the solicitation of parish tickets for the
official printing establishment in New
Orleans where Mr.. Strong transacted
his business. Recollection Of these
facts strengthens the sentiment requir-
ing a thorough explanation of the
circumstances attending Mr.. Strong's
defalcation, and the Attorney General
should without delay institute suit for
the protection of the State from such
malfeasance.

A Simple Re Eaedy for Dyp-

Exchange.

Exchange.
A case of that terrible infantile dis
ease, dyptheria, is reported in town,
and we publish the following for the
benefit of those whD may feel in
clined to give the suggestion a trial j:
r. Munich, proprietor OF d drug es-
tablishment in Leipzig, Saxony. pub
dishes in the Pharmacist, Medical
paper, a remedy for dyptheria which
has had surprising. success. He ur-
gently presses all physicians to try it
for the benefit of all patients suffer-
ing from the disease, and also re-
quests the press to publish il.
He says: "My little daughter, Z
years of age, has had dyptheria twice
within some weeks, with severe fever,
gave with great success rectifed oil
of turpentine (oleum terebinth nae
rectificatum.) Dose, one teaspoonful
in the morning and the same at even
ing"
Adults should take one tablespoon
full. After which drink little luke
warm milk to alley the burning in
For children the second dose can
be mixed with milk, which will rem
der it easier to take.
The result is really marvellous. The
inflammation of the abnormal dipthe-
rite spots in the throat grows lighter
at the edges, and in this way they
gradually shrink until in twenty four
hours they disappear entirely, leaving
no sign.
To quiet the infiamed tonsils the
throat was gargled at first every two
hours, and then every three hours,
with the following gargle: One ounce
chlorate of potash to forty ounces OF
distilled water.
This remedy has been used with
perfect satisfaction both by adults
and children, not one case ending ia
tally. The Milwaukee Volksblatt
quoted this remedy from the German
paper, and afterward received letter
from a subscriber in Mitchell county,
Iowa, saying that "a child in the
writer's family was attacked by Dip
liberia treated by local physicians and
died; then four members of the same
family were similarly attacked, treat
ed by this remedy, and, am happy
to tell yon, all recovered"

Heart Beats.
DR.. b. W. Richardson.

Dr. b. w. knlcaTuSoH.
The number Of pulsatinns of the heart
in different animals-in fish, frog, bird,
rabbit, cat, dog, sheep, horse-was de-
scribed, and a few comments made on
the remarkable slowness of the heart
DO strokes per minute-in the horse.
Then the number of pulsations in man
at various periods of life, and at differ
ent levels, from the level of the sea up
to 1000 feet above sea level, was brought
under review, and was followed by
computation of the average work per-
formed by the heart in healthy adult
man. The work was traced out by the
minute, the hour and the day, and was
shown to equal the feat of raising tons
cwt one foot per hour, or 1876 tons in
work under alcohol in varying quaint
the work of the heart, Parkes' calcula
"a foot tons from the i'm
bibation OF eight fluid ounces of alcohol.
The facts relating to the work accom-
plished were supplemented by new
calculotion, in which the course of the
circulation was explained by mileage,
Presenting that the blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation in the
proportion of SO strokes per minute, and
at the assumed force of feet, the mile
age of the blood through the body might
be taken at 207 yards per minute, Z
miles per hour, 1853 miles per day, 1920
miles per year, or 5,150,880 miles in a
lifetime of 81 years. The number of
beats of the heart in the same long life
would reach the grand total of 1859, 776,-
600.

Common Sense in Housekeeping

A girl cannot grow up in well-order-
ed home, under the care of a good
mother, without unconsciously learning
much of the method by which the home
is made what it is. A bright girl who
is unfortunate enough to be member of
a badly-managcd household is not utter
ly out of the way of learning how to do
better The very fact of the discomfort
in which she lives, often stimulates her
to find out the possible improvement of
her condition. "How can l ever learn
to keep 'housc?' said young girl one
day, lamenting her peculiar circum-
stances which prevented her from gain
ing any practical knowledge or expert
ence. Common sense is all you need
in housekeeping" replied the expert
enced and very successful housekeeper
to whom the question was addressed.
Common sense supplemented by the
best instruction attainable and by OBJ
servation will make housekeeping a
pleasure rather than burden, But all
the teaching in the world will not avail
without the common sense. In these
days of cooking-schools and lectures
and opportunities of all sorts, it is an
easy matter to obtain instruction, yet a
few months of actual trial in ones own
home, teaches far more. Times change
and requirements change with them,
people differ in tastes and opinions, and
not even the wiscst mother can tell
what another household than her own
will desire. -Hen1fctt0 DdGis, IN Coca

NV Ideal Girl.

DO you know my ideal girl? She is
seldom to be met with, but nevertheless
she exists. She has modest, girlish
sort of way about her that is very
likely to deceive, but to those who know
her well, she is the happiest, wittiest,
brightest of girls and every inch the
true woman when fairly aroused to ac-
ton. She may not be the prettiest OF
|. girls, but when she gets fairly started in
conversation you feel as if your very
soul is being drawn through her brilliant
eyes, and you become fully convinced
that there is something else to live for
in this world than simply your individ-
ual self. When you are strong, and
your way is clear before you, she is girl
ish, full of play and song; but when
your heart has been wounded and the
path before you is dark and treacherous,
you will find this ideal girl of mine both
tender in her sympathies and strong in
her womanhood- a divine light to lead
you safely through the channels OF dark
ness and despair. There is one charm
I'M particular that l admire in this ideal
girl of mine, and that is she never finds
time to gossip over the defects of her
weaker sisters; neither does she find
any particular fascination in man
who has through cunning. and strength,
caused the downfall and ruin of some
poor, weak-minded girl.-Isler IN ar

CHICAGO, May II, "A most important ar
rest has been made by the police in connec-
ton with the recent bomb throwing. The
day after the haymarket riot Louis Lingg,
a known Anarchist, disappeared from his
boarding house, 442 Sedgwick street.

DAYS before the detectives were
able to locate him, but finally found him at
so Ambrose street in the Human street dis
trict When Detectives Schuttler and Jake
Loewenstein went to the house to arrest
Lingg they met with a fierce resistance
The Anarchist drew a revolver and tried to
kill the officers, and it was only after deS-
perate fight in which the furniture was
smashed that Lingg was overpowered. he
was taken to the East Chicago avenue po-
lice station and thrust into cell.
In Lingg's Sedgwick street room the police
found two pistols, seven dynamite bombs,
quantity of cartridges and Shells and lot
of blood Thirsty pamphlets and newspapers
A number of letters in Linggs handwriting
showed him to be one of the most desperate
Anarchists in the city.

years of age, slightly above medium height,
