st. Louis Sayings. .-....a#
Whence it cometh or whittier it
goeth no man can tell. 1t turks in no
particular latitude or longitude; it is
partial to no section or season; it re-
CARDS neither station nor condition; it
respects neither morals nor manners;
it swoops without warning, and its
path is marked by desolation and
death. No man is strong enough or
swift enough to escape its fury; no
mother may supplicate its mercy; no
babe so innocent or so helpless that it
can command from heaven or earth
protection from its relentless and in
discriminate wrath. Temples of wor-
ship, places of vice, haunts of misery,
asylums for the sick are leyeled alike;
and among the dead the strong and
the weak, the old and the young, the
sinful and the sainted lie side by side.
All the signs by which the human
mind is capable Of judging the
indications of the doom-swept waste
point to the potency of a God, but
to the temper Of fiend. The pitiless
cyclone! Whence cometh il? Whittier
goeth it9 Hath it purpose as the
Of Almighty Power? Who
can interpret il? Who can make it
seem consistent with the idea Of ON

cile mankind to its yisitations2 Who

The English poet Swineburne, who
hates tobacco as he does Satan him
self, once tried at a club house to lind
aeorner free from smokers. He failed,
and vented his wrath by saying,
"James l. was a knave, coward and
tyrant, but | love him, worship him,
because he slit the throat of Raleigh,
who invented filthy smoking" Jarves,
in his Italian Rambles," says that he
wished for Swineburne to extinguish
a brutal, though titled, stranger, who
replied to lady who was sickened by
the stencil of his pipe, "Let her die,
then women ought to who can't bear
smoke" The deterioration of good
manners has an active agent, he thinks,
in the rapidly extending use of tobac-
co. at takes well-bred man to
Withstand this form of self-induIgence
when it can be praeticed only at the
discomfort of his neighbor. There is
space enough on this planet without
poisoning the atmosphere of the non
smoker. But smokers crowd in and
claim the right to sicken and half
strangle and sometimes insult their
victims, even of the gentler SEX" Say
ing nothing one way Or the other in
reference To the weed itself, he simply
pleads for the rights of the non.
smoker. The selfish sensuaIism of
promiscuous smoking is an unmIstake-
able badge of boor. Let sensible
men heed the words of this admirable
society, as well as art, critic.

MY OWN COUNTRY.

The sweet wind blows, the ruffied rose
Is dropping in the vale;
The fragrant flow'rs Of woodland bow'rB,
Make sweet the cooling gale.
EaTth's fiow'rs may bloom awhile for some
But never more for mel
The sun is low, and must go
Home to my own country.
Oh. sweet and fair the flower there,
Yea, sweeter far than here;
One spring for aye; one endless day:
Fields never turning serel
Oh, sweet are all the streams that roll
Along each heavenly lea!
No pain nor gloom can ever come
Into my own country.
/ would not live: could not grieve
Longer in this strange land,
Since may tread the streets o'er spread
With gold by Gods own hand!
Ahi then adieu, sweet friends, to you;
Would you could go with me;
To walk the streets, and taste the sweets
Which bless my own country.
oh, stay not long when am gone;
Come over soon to me:
You're welcome where the blest ones are
Come to my own country!
Eafth's flowers may bloom awhile for some
But neyermore for mel
The sun is low, and must go
Home to my own country.

The SOUTHERN BIyoUAc for NAV
closes the first volume Of the new se-
ries most creditably. The first article
is an illustrated story by Dan. e. o.

A paper of unusual interest is con-
tributed by James w. A. Wright, on
prison life at the North, entitled ''War
Prisons and War Poetry Will Wal
lace Hsrney concludes bis story of
"Life in Florida during the Reign Of
the Carpet Baggers." Richard n,
Musser continues his account of the
"War in Missouri and this INSTALL
ment is accompanied by an excellent
map. Judge A, b, Richards has the
first of two papers on that admirable
Confederate leader, General Turner
Ashby the portrait of Gen. Ashby is
excellent. Col. r. T. Durrett con
clndes bis papers on the Resolutions Of
l79S99 With q very interesting bio
graphical sketch of John BFeekinFidge.
These papers are of unusual yalne and
have attracted much attention. The
last is illustrated with a portrait Of
John Breckinridge and BY picture Of
his law ofiie.

Docs your COW cringe and curl, ap-
pear nervous and fidgety when yon sit
down to milk her ? Does she keep
stepping, and occasionally raise her
foot to the top of the pail, mnch to
the peril of its contents, as well as to
your own peace of mind If so, do
not give her "piece of your mind"
but on the contrary, comply with the
New England farmers advice, and just
look at your finger nails and see If
they are not getting long and sharp.
If they are, pare them down the first
thing you do ; then begin carefully
and quietly to draw the milk. Cows
seldom kick unless they are hurt in
some way, or expect to be hurt. Mems
fingers are not all shaped alike, some
having short, stuhbed ends, with nails
that wear off as fast as they grow
others have long, slender fingers with
sharp nails to correspond. Some
mixers keep their nails pared close,
while Others pay but little attention to
them. Long, sharp nails cause q great
many COWS to rebel against being
milked. If your hired men do the
milking, see that they are thoughtful
and merciful in the matter of the care
of the finger ends.

sentenced to imprisonment q number

Louisiana Farmer.
There is no other industrial pursuit
which is SO burdened with alleged inn
provements, for which patents have
been secured, as agriculture. Claims
for royalties from an endless variety
of people who demand money for the
use of devices for which patents have
been secured unjustly, vex and harass
the soul Of the farmer. Fences, wells,
churns, gates, harrows, clevices, and
great variety Of simple tools and
devices which are used by farmers;
and even methods of laying down
trees and vines for winter safety, and
now an old manner of making drains,
has been patented, and the use Of
them is denied to the general world.
And the worst Of IL is the majority Of
these claimants are themselves farm
ers, and do their best to tax brother
farmers without any adequate return
being made, and moreover it causes
and encourages litigation and wastes
hard earned money. This is matter
which needs reforming, and farmers
should combine to insist ON q deliver
ance from this irritating and costly
nuisance.

ST. Landry weather and Crops.

Some rain and hail fell on last Sum
day night, with heavy rains in many
places on Monday night, followed BY
second deluge on Tuesday evening
and night, which oyerHowed all the
streams and completely inundated the
prairies with water. There was an
unusual electric display, attended with
constant and heavy detonations Of
thunder on Tuesday, but as yet no
casualties have been reported to us.
The growing crops were much washed
by the torrents of rain, and farm work
has been entirely suspended during
the remainder of the week. 10 the
meantime grass and weeds have grown
rapidly, which will call forth addi-
tional energy and work from the farm
ers to overcome this loss Of valuable
time. Everything now depends on
future good weather with nnrelaxed
labor to put the crops IN good condi-
tion. 0pelousas Courier.

We clip the following from the
Tsaes-Democrat, which should GER
tainly encourage the farmer: HAccord-
ing to the South, in 1916, one bushel
of corn wonld buy one pound Of nails.
In 1855 one bushel of corn win buy
ten pounds of nails. In 1915 4 pair
of wooden blankets cost as much as a
COW. In 1885 a COW win buy five
pairs Of wooen blankets. In 1915 il
required sixty-fopr bushels Of barley
to buy one yard Of broadcloth, II
1885 sixty four bushels Of barley will
buy thirty yards Of broadeloth. II
1919 1t took twenty dozen eggs TO bn,
one bnshel salt, En- 1885 twenty doxel
eggs will buy ten bushels salt. Ii
1916 il required one bushel Of whoa
