The Immigration A~sSoc;..


Our excellent and entern,;.;,
contemporary the Alexandra Tow

day, 18th inst, for circulation in ~,
State and the Western States a AN
immigration edition larger tbsa
any country paper in louisiana has
ever issued" And we believe th.,
Town Talk will do it, too. 'l4s
The State immigration A,soc;..
ton has adopted a policy which Fl.
Item believes will have important
results in promoting the cause of;m
migration. In an address befa,.
the Press Convention at OpeIonsas
Col. George Norman, the presiden.
OF the barean, announced that he d..
sired to secure every country edito.
as an immigration agent, as the h.
cal editor is fully qualified to get =,
all tie statistics and information
needed. Instead of publishing III.
matter in circulars it is proposed
that each parish paper shall get ont
a great immi grafton edition, the :.
ISOLATION to subscribe for enough ca.
pies to defray the extra costs Of N.
Issue. This plan is in accordance
with the views already urged bv thu
en-. It is not only the most prsc.
teal plan for obtaining descriptions
of the various parishes, but it viii
excite among u rural contempora.
ries, and through them among their
readers, a lively interest in the
cause Of immigration.
The Item thinks it would be
good plan to offer a premium Of.
say, $500 to the Taper that shall
get out the best edition, the award
to be made by a committee selected
by the State Press Association.
There would doubtless be a number
Of entries for the prize, and Louis
lana woald get some lively booming.
The Immigration Association Is
now on a solid basis and is doing
good work. 1t has already dissem.
mated a vast deal of information,
aud located many immigrants. 1t
has no sectional bias, and works
equally for North, Central, and
South Louisiana.
This association. organized in res
ronse to the demands of the pcop!e,
voiced by one of the most represen.
tatiye bodies Of men ever assembled
in the State, enjoys in a high degree
the pubic confidence, its officers
have been jealous and efficient
workers in the cause, and deserve
a hearty support in a movement 50
vital to the prosperity Of the State.
While the association has already
rendered valuable service. it mus. be.
remembered that it is at present snp
ported entirely by private and paro.
c|ial contributions. To extend its
sphere of usefulness it is necessary
that it should receive State aid anu
Endorsement, ard it is hoped that
one Of the first acts Of the legisla.
ture will be to make liberal provi-
sion for its maintenance.-City

VeiIeI RoMmcIian Maidcns,

One sees very many beautiful
women among the Croatians and
Slavonians. 1t is quite surprising
the number of lovely faces that are
to be seen in a gathering of Croatian
peasants. The beauty of these cotn'
tries inclines to the passive, Madon-
na-like style Of loveliness, in which
figure dreamy, gazelle-like eyes and
an expression of langour that tells
Of gentleness personifed. In Servla
and Roumelia, too, one finds thus
type of beauty prevelant, and in
these Balkan States so recently de-
nominated by the Turks, the women
still possess a timid. retiring dlspo'
sition that causes them to go abou!
with halfveiled faces. The legacyo Of
Osmanli dominion imparts to tho

additional charm of mystery. One

Writers and the "syndicates. 1"

The method of presenting literary mat
ter through syndicate" may have its
advantage, but I think it shuts off in a
sense, great many writers who might
otherwise gradually gain recognition. If
a syndicate were managed right, it could
pay better prices for literary matter than
any one else; the projectors of such an
enterprise could afford to pay certain
authors enormous sums but, at the same
time, such a scheme would work like
having no copyright law; it would
enable one class of authors to sit down on
the others and keep them out.
A popular journal which had the nerve
and enterprise to secure good authors ex-
clusively and pay them for their work
would put itself ahead of competitors.
The trouble with the Syndicate is that
it tends Ito reduce journals to dead
level. Robert Bonner, of The New York
Ledger, tried the former method; he
paid certain authors good prices to write
exclusively. for him, and found that the
undertalS 1lejA him. So, ip the pres
c. rising editof who is on
the alert can find young, American
writers of promise and bring them out,
thus not only starting them on successful
careers, but greatly benefiting his own

Relics of the Old Stone Age.

The Smithsonian institution has sent
out an earnest request that all persons
interested in science shall cooperate,
with the aim of determining if in
America there existed an old stone of
paleolithic age. To that end it has re-
quested that implements supposedly be-
longing to that age, be sent to the insti-
tuition at Washington for examination.
Many supposed to be such have already
been sent in; and most Of them prove to
be of very different origin. None
truly paleolithic have been found in the
mounds. Meanwhile, a cute Pennsyl-
vania individual has put on the market
a quantity Of spurious, but well made,
arrow heads. He takes the more modern
Clipped flints, which are abundant, and
rechips them into curious and antique
forms to make them salable. He has
driven a fine business. Genuine Yankees
are now quite behind the age.-Globe-

How a Queen Was Shocked.

M. Julien Brault has just published a
volume giving history of the telephone
since its continental adoption. He tells
an amusing story of it's debut in Brussels
in 1884. The queen was asked to listen
from her palace to representation at the
Monnale theatre. Suddenly, to the sur
prise of all present, she dropped the in
strument, giving little gasp of dismay.
The chorus leader had just been giving
his tumultous crowd sudden reprimand
in the most supplementary language,
using the name of Divine Providence in
very free and easy manner. Strict
orders were given on the morrow to oblige
the use of more diplomatic speech, and
the queen was happy.
Brault states that Spain has made no
progress at all in the use of the telephone.
In 1882 the government began to feel
some interest in the matter, and law
was voted allowing its use in the princi-
pal cities. Even Russia preceded Spain,
for in 1881 the instrument was there used
quite commonly. and even at greater
distances than in France. Now, in
France, in towns boasting of a population
Of $4,000 inhabitants the telephone is
completely unknown. Gutenberg gives
the cheapest rates for yearly subscriptions,
and Russia the dearest. Globe Democrat.

The Function Of the Bile.

Among the many mooted questions in
physiology is the function Of the bile. Dr.
Dastre recently reported his observations in
this direction to the Societe de Biologie Of
Paris. He said that he had previously proven
that the presence of bile in the stomach
during different periods Of digestion did not
take from the gastric juice its digestive pow
er; consequently it could not be the cause of
vomiting OF of severe gastric troubles. At
the present time, owing to the success Of two
operations for cholecysto-intestinal fistula,
he thought himself in a position to conclude
that the bile contributed, as well as the pam
create juice, to he-digestion Of the fats
an opinion which is counter to that expressed
by Claude Bernard. In fact, the two animals
being in good condition four months after
the establishment of the fistula, they had
been given a meal of fat and milk, and then
slaughtered during full digestion. The ex-
animation showed with absolute clearness
that the lacteals were transparent between
the stomach and fistula, and, on the contrary,
entirely white and milky below the fistula;
that is to say, where the bile had been able
to get, consequently, if observation on the
rabbit shows us that the bile alone is unable
to emulsify the fats, the preceding expert
ence shows us that the pancreatic juice alone
is also powerless. They must be mingled in
order to act well. In other words, bile as
we'll as the pancreatic juice takes part in the
digestion of fats.

One of the last things written by the
late E. P. Roe was a letter commencing
the Banquet" strawberry, whose vigor
and hardness he was testing. He said:
for those who like a sweet berry it leaves
little to be desired in flavor"
81 believe the enterprising farmer will
warm the water for his stock in the near
future" says Waldo Brown.
Professor Samuel Johnston, of the
agricultural college of Michigan, says:
II think that the experience of wheat
growers generally will commend this
rule: Try new varieties sparingly until
convinced by repeated tests that they
are adapted to your soil and latitude"
The editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture
saws: "The best conventions / ever at
tended were in the winter time, when it
was so cold that nobody wanted to run
outdoors, and some of them were held
in small towns, with only a moderate
number in attendance. / cannot remem-
Der one held on a fair ground that l
thought was very much of a success, for
the reasons mentioned; yet they might
perhaps be success after all.
Professor Henry claims that the i'm
portant point in stock feeding is to con-
stantly bear in mind that young
animal gives better returns for feed con-
sumed than an old one. A pound of
meal or pound of hay adds more to the
weight of calf than to the same animal
when grown.

Flowers in washington City.

Proportionately more flowers are
bought in Washington than any other
city of the country. There are very few
private Conservatives, and the lovers OF
fragrance and beauty are forced to go to
the florist for their buds and blossoms.
In and out of the social season the flor
lists do thriving business. One in few
years made money enough to buy a big
corner lot facing prominent thorough
fare and to erect large building, the
lower part of which he uses for his city
stOrehouse and sales room. In the win
ter he gives weekly flower shows, and
the town flocks to his place to gaze at
rare orchids, masses of chrysanthemums,
and great pots of La France roses. A
number of wealthy people have contracts
with him to regularly furnish palms,
cact and other rare plants. They are
symmetrically placed in odd corners OF
drawing rooms, and as they lose their
fresher green they are taken away to the
cooler nurseries, and other plants are
substituted for them.
Strange to say, hut few flowers are
shipped to the florists from local points.
In the winter all the rare flowers, includ-
ing the more valuable kinds of roses, are
bought by the florists in New York and
Philadelphia. The roses are packed in
dividualIy in vvads of cotton wrapped in
oil paper, covered with sawdust and well
boxed They quickly fade, of course,
and their delicate beauty and perfume
disappear with the first course of the
menu or the first waltz on the order OF
dancing. -Chicago Herald.

How 10 Make . Tent.

Buy nine yards Of good, stout yard
wide cotton cloth and cut into three
strips Of three yards each. Sew these
strips together securely by overlapping,
and you will then have strip three
yards square. Make solution OF twelve
ounces Of lime and five ounces OF alum
in three gallons of water, and soak the
cotton in it for day. Rinse it in warm
rain water and stretch 1t in the sun to
dry. It will then he waterproof.
Having reached your camping out
place, cut two poles eight feet long, each
with fork at, one end. Sink the other
ends in the ground about foot and beat
the earth well to keep them firmly IN
place. These poles should be about eight
feet apart. Now cut another pole about
nine feet long and put it on the top OF
the other two, resting in the forks. Cut
two more poles ten feet long for the sides
of your frame, resting one end Of each
pole on the cross pole and the other end
on the ground. Stretch the canvas over
the frame and tack it to the poles. You
can make the sides Of your tent weather
proof with the boughs of cedar and other
trees.
This is the simplest and least expensive
tent you can have, and it will answer
your purposes fully. The interior of the
tent, however, would be little more
roomy and comfortable if you would put
up second frame in the rear, similar to
that in front, say two feet high, and
stretch the canvas over that and thence
to the ground.
Select sloping ground to put your tent
on, so that if it rains the water will read
lily run off; and also dig little ditch
around the tent, with an outlet running
down the incline. As the front of the
tent will be open-unless you choose to
provide enough canvas to close it-you
had better place it with the front toward
the north or northwest, for storms, if
you have any, will probably come from
the south or southwest.
The rude hut described, for it is little
else, will no doubt seem a flimsy shelter
to those who have never occupied one,
but for perfect rest and the soundest Of
sound sleeping, you will find it superior
to the best room in your city house.

The Remarkable Mental Effect Often Pro-
duced by the Use of Ether.

| The Remarkable Mental Effect Often Pro-
duced by the Use Of Ether.
Within few years 1t has been claimed by
various physicians and scientists that ether
often produces most singular effect on the
mind OF the patient or experimenter who
takes 1t, giving rise to what has been called
the "anmsthetic revelation" Xenos Clark, a
writer on this subject, afflrms that just as
| the experimental RECEIVERS from the anfes-
thetic, and before wide awake consciousness
fully returns, he has an intense perception OF
| what seems to him at the time the philosophic
secret Of existence, the true explanation Of
| the universe. This singular impression,
though intense, does not last long; and, in
| spite OF the SUBJECTS strong Efforts to carry
| the revelation" out into wide awake COLI
| sciousness he finds himself unable to do so,
but is left full of awe by his strange expert
| ence, and wonder at the nearness of the solu-
| ton, which for SO many ages has been sought
| SO far afield.
| The abstract, philosophic nature Of the
ether dream gives it a special interest to
students of philosophy and psychology. By
its intensely specific character it differs ell
tirely from the opium or hasheesh halluci-
nation. The opium eater may dream OF a
thousand different things, but the ether pa
tient invariably has one fixed IMPRESSIONS
belief that the ultimate secret and explana-
ton Of existence stands revealed to him as
finite knowledge never has or never could
reveal it. The singular thing is that this
impression may happen to a man who has
never given one thought to philosophy, and
whose mind, therefore, is void Of material
for this impression. This fact, and the spe-
cific likeness of effect of the ether on all who
have made the experiment, had led some
psychologists to declare the impossibility Of
considering the phenomenon dream, and
to claim place for it as genuine philosophic
insight

Smokers Vertigo.

DR.. Decaisne is reported in The New York
Medical Record as having recently investi-
gated a number of cases of vertigo in
smokers s09t e s X n h prs *
More than half of them suffered, in addition,
from digestive troubles, with constipation al
ternating with diarrhga, insomnia, paipita-
lions, dyspnoa, and diuress. In the third
of the number there was marked intermit-
tence of the pulse, and granular pharyngitis,
while others suffered from aphthH, am
blyopia, etc. Thirty-seven were persons
who smoked habitually on an empty stomach;
and these suffered from vertigo, principally
in the morning The vertigo generally coin
cided with suppression of perspiration and
diminished eXcretion of urine. The treat
ment consisted mainly in regulating or sup
pressing the cause, but thirty-three out Of
thirty-seven patients ceased to suffer on
merely refraining from smoking on an empty
stomach.
