How to use a Grindstone.

A grlndstone is one of the worst used
implements on the farm. or in the work
shop. Few take the trouble to think
about their work. and consequently the
great majority of people fail to get the
most and best use from their tools. The
few who do think, will agree with Us when
we say that a grindstone is both badly
used and badly chosen. 1t is too small.
and centered; it is not properly speeded.
and is turned either too fast, and made to
throw the water around. or too slow. and
so fails to do its work well; it is not we'll
taken care of and is badly used.
A grindstone, to do good service,
should be at least three feet in diameter,
and two and one-half to three inches in
thickness, having bevel on each side
of the face for grinding on. 1t should
be quite free from hard spots or iron
pyrites, which are injurious to tools,
although these may be taken out with
sharp pointed punch. If it is not cen
tered truly, it will work out of shape. and
soon require trueing up. 1t should run
Is fast as possible, as it does work both
better and more quickly. To prevent it
from throwing wafer. a piece OF bagging
should be fastened to the staple fixed
across the frame on each end but not so
close As to grind it out; this will catch the
excess of water and yet keep the stone
wet enough. and clean it. The stone
should be kept in the shade. aud never in
water. which softens it and makes one
side wear faster than the other. The
water box should have hole in 1t, to let
out the water and keep the stone dry
when not in use. In grinding, it should
mostly turn from the tool, and if used
otherwise great care should be taken by
the one who holds the tool, not to gouge
the stone-HENRY STEWART in american

Editors COURIER:
The last three days of February pass
ed out little rough some rain and
little cool, until noon yesterday, when
the weather began to clear up, the sun
shining out made everything look more
cheerful.
The farmers in this section of Avoy-
elles and adjoining st. Landry have ac-
complished much towards getting in
crops during the past two or three
weeks. Considerable corn has been
planted, and lands prepared to plant
cotton. Time has been made tho most
of, and work on the farm pushed to its
full extent. AS rule, we notice very
few "loafers )" while wages are not to
say near so high as in past years, it ap-
pears that all realize that they must
work as the saying goes "a half loaf is
better than no bread at all ," and when
bread is won by the honest "sweat OF
the brow it is sweeter.
Another good sign to be seen in the
country, is the clearing up of lands that
have for years past been permitted to
grow up in forests of brush and briars.
One enterprising farmer has purchased
lately, 1873 acres of these lands, and
this season will clear up much of it and
plant in corn. "By next year," he said,
~ expect to have all my land in fair
way for cultivation, besides, attend to
building houses, fences, etc.
Once our people begin to grow as
near as possible suficiency of corn
and meats at home, this will be the
stboss'' country, and this they are
gradually and surely coming to.
We must tell sou that the wedding
bells pealed forth their joyous notes IN
the village of Chicot last week-the
happy couple united on the 25th o1
February, in the ''holy bonds" of matri'
n,ony, we're Mr.. Henry Erich to Miss
Saral, Anslem, both of Chicot. Many
! friends were present from Opelousas
Eola. Black, Haasville, and from tue
pleasant country of Chicot to bless and
wish the young bridge and groom long
and prosperous journey through life.
While on little trip the other day
through our parish we witnessed a
every point along the route the push o
farm work going on at Bunkle. W.
found that much Improvement ha'
taken place since our last visit in tina
direction. Shade trees have been se
out on the borders of the streets; sew
eral new buildings have gone up lately
and the streets are neat and clean

ton, La, is moving spirit in the tow

of that place are proud of their Mayor

The announcement of the appoint
ment by President Cleveland of V. O..
King as secretary Of legation and consul
general at Bogota will recall to many
in this city the pleasant recollection of
that gentleman, who resided here for
some years and was highly esteemed by
all. DR.. King is a gentleman of high
intellectual attainments and great scien-
tifc knowledge. He was born in St.
Landry parish, and after graduating in
medicine he moved to the parish OF
Avoyelles, where he started in practice.
Becoming enamoured with the law, he
devoted himself to its study and was
admitted to the bar by the State Su-
preme Court. About twelve years ago
he removed to Texas, where he was
selected as the superintendent of statis-
tics and where he commenced the pre-
paration of the political history of both
Texas and Mexico, which is as yet un-
finished. He brings to his new position
q wide experience, excellent knowledge
of human nature, and uncommon liter
ary ability.-Times-D Democrat.

The Reavens Seemed to Open.

MONTREAL, Feb. l3.-About mid
night on Saturday, most remarkable
phenomenon was witnessed in the
heavens. It appeared on the western
horizon and rose to the north 79 de-
grees, where it assumed the spectacle
Of the heavens opening and shooting
forth stream of livid rose-colored
light. The Catholic population OF the
city were stricken, thinking the
last day had come, and, kneeling on
the streets they prayed for salvation
from their sins.
Young men and old stood with un-
covered heads on the streets looking at
the most marvellous scene ever noticed
in lifetime. Sergeant Moran and
Detective st. Pierre were arresting q
prisoner at the time, when the astonish-
ing display from the heavens paralyzed
them for the moment, and they both
knelt and returned thanks to heaven
for their preservation. Two Catholics
thought It was the day of judgment
and. from some cause Or other, fel
dead. Prof. Mcleod, Of the McGil
University, states that this was tht
most remarkable phenomenon he hat
ever Witnessed.
