The Baby.

Mrs. Herrick tells of a young mother
who said of her first baby, little girl:
"Raby's father insists she shall taste
everything he has OH his plate. She
is year old now, but has liked pOta-
toes and gravy ever since she was six
months old is so fond of cake and
preserves. and Of nearly every sort of
vegetable. / did protest when her
father began feeding her pickles and
cucumbers and cabbage with vinegar
OH them, but she seemed to like them
and can't see that it does her bit
of harm. Don't you think it a good
plan to accustom babies to eat every
thing ! Then their digestions will get
used to all sorts Of food"
The baby was even then Of pasty
complexion, but had plenty of flesh,
though it was tlabby and lacked the
tirmness the flesh Of healthy child
should have. By the time this little
one was sixteen she was a confirmed
dyspeptic, with skin the color of
dirty dough, decayed teeth and iHtol-
cradle breath and the parents, who
lamented their daughters ill health,
utterly failed to connect cause and ef-
| feet, saying ''She used to be such
healthy baby; she could eat any
thing" ,.,...,.sa...
A regular, simple diet is of para
mount Importance in keeping child
well. Next after that comes regular
outdoor exercise and early hours. No
| wonder babies are cross and fretful
when they are kept up nights till 10
or II O'clock, and abnOrmally excited
| by lights and unusual surroundings.
| Let them have their frOlics in the day
time, but put them to bed in the twi-
light hour.
No pains should be spared to detect
the first appearance Of indisposition !;
the work Of checking an incipient dis
ease is simpler than that Of arresting
it after it is under way. Often every
thing depends on controlling disease
in its earliest stages. The baby has
little reserve power, and, though the
recuperative ability of children has
become a byword, it is unsafe to tax it
too severely.
These are very sensible ideas, and
mothers and babies will be the better
for putting them into practice. Nichi-
gan Farmer.

'fhe Shreveport Exposition.

We take the following from the
published announcement of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Louisiana
State Fair and Shreveport Exposition,
thus giving our farmers WHO may wish
to make exhibits timely notice:
The Louisiana State Fair and Shreye-
port Exposition is no longer in it's
chrysalis or experimental stage. 1t
has been subjected to the usual finan-
cial trials and difficulties attendant
upon all new undertakings, and
through the courage, energy, and lib
erality Of its promoters, aided by a
generous public, it has safely encoun-
tered all the varying gales Of fortune
and established itself as a successful
enterprise, Of vast and far reaching
usefulness to the people. But little
remains to he done to make the build
ings and grounds the most convenient,
best equipped and most attractive OF
any i'll the South, and no pains will be
spared to make the fourth annual expo
sition, commencing Tuesday, the 9Th
day of October, and ending Monday,
the 18th, 1889, more attractive and
successful than any preceding event.
The inconvenience suffered by visi-
tors on former occasions, on account
of insufficient hotel accommodations,
need no longer be dreaded, as the
most comlnodious and extensive struc-
tural additions in this liLe have been
made and added to the many other
features Of Shreveport's rapid march
to the front. The premiums aud pur-
ses offered this year will reach the
muniicent sum of $50, 900, the details
Of which and the amounts for special
ties will be found in the catalogue.
The change in the month for holding
the Fair (frOm November to October)
has been made in order that its regu-
lar programme may not be interrupted
by the rainy season.
Those who are endeavoring to in
crease the products Of land, with a
view to competing for the premiums
and liberal purses offered for the lar
gest yield of cotton, corn, oats and
sweet potatoes on any four acres on
hill or bottom lands, are requested to
notify the Secretary in writing, in or
der that committees may be appoint
ed by the Association for the vicinity
and make official awards. Address

The First Electric Execution.

The purchase of three dynamos and
other appliances for our New York
State prison inaugurates the planning
for the first execution by electricity,
and William kemmler, of Buffalo, may
claim the distinction of being the first
person ever sentenced to be thus exc
cuted.
The sentence was pronounced by
Judge Childs in these words: ''The
sentence of the court is that for the
crime of murder i'll the first degree,
whereof you stand convicted, within
the week commencing on Monday. the
oath day of June, 1889, and within the
walls of Auburn State prison, or with
in the yard or inclosare adjoining
thereto, you suffer the punishment Of
death, to be inflicted by the application
of electricity as provided by the Code.
of Criminal Procedure of the State OF
New York, and that in the, meantime
you be removed to and, until the in
fiction Of such punishment, be kept in
solitary confinement in said Aubarh
State prison." tE4 -t.t
The death warrant in the case is
directed to the warden Of Auburn pri-
son, and prov itles that the sentence be
executed "upon some day within the
week commencing Monday, the oath
day Of June, in the year Of our Lord
1889, and within the walls of Auburn
State prison. or within the yard or
inclosure adjoining thereto, by then
and there causing to pass through the
body Of him, the said William kemm-
ler, current Of electricity of sufficient
intensity to cause death, and that the
application Of such current of electri-
city he continued until said William
keinmler be dead" fst .,s bar RI
The result of this novel method Of
execution of criminals will be watched
with interest from all parts Of the

WEATnER.CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING; JUNE Is, 1889.

The drouth is broken. The general
rains in the State during the past
week were Of incalculable benefit to
the CROWN crops and apparently ar
rived III the nick of time to save the
corn and aid the cotton.
Excepting from q few sections where
the rainfall was excessive, and where
hail fell on the 9Th instant, reports are
very favorable as to the effects of the
weather conditions on the growing
crops in the northern section, of the
State, from whence generally good re-
ports are received.
A cessation Of the rainfall will keep
the corn and cotton from becoming
grassy in the northern section of
which there is some danger, although
they are at present generally clean
and in good condition.
The following are the rainfalls re-
ported for the week: Minden 1.62,
Shreveport 400, Grand Cane 800,
| Coushatta 500, Natchitoches 7.O6,
Liberty Hill 200, Calhoun 3.55, Mon
roe 2.34, Girard 1856, Delhi 3.O2,
| Vicksburg 6.62, st. Joseph 2.43, Trini-
ty 1.6O, Vidalia 40, Alexandria 6.46,

Charles 1 80, Shell Beach ITO, Able.
vile 1.6O, Jeancrette 1.74, and Houma
2.11.
There was a deficiency of from one
! to two degrees in the average daily
| temperature, and the amount of sun
shine received was considerably below
the average. The former condition
played no important part, but the lat
ter was unfavOrable in the sections O1
constant and heavy rains, and favOra-
ble in those sections from whence {
lesser amounts of rainfall are reported
in serving to check too rapid eva.
pOratiOn.
Rice planting is being pushed vig0r'
ously in the southwestern parishes
but there was hardly sufficient rain
fall in that section to be Of decided
benefit, although crops and pasturag,
have improved wonderfully in pas
few days.
In the southern section all vegeta
ton has taken new lease on life, bu
the corn crop will fall short-the rain
Iarriving too late to be of much benefi
thereto.
| Stubble is reported in good condi
| tien, and the plant cane is showing
decided improvement.

Lucky Mrs. kennan.

Mrs. George KEENAN,, the wife of the
Siberian traveller, is the possessor of a
genuine Russian icon. The Russian
craze was epidemic in unusually severe
form last winter. and the fur dealers
are importing Russian skins. and mo-
distes are getting ready to make much
of Russian gowns. The modern Young
woman thinks her den incomplete
without an icon. but as there are not
for sale in this country dozen of these
images which ever saw the land of the
car, the Philadelphia Times thinks
that Mrs. kennans specimen, which
the explorer of Siberian prisons picked
up at the Mini Novgorod fair, has a
better authenticated history than most
before which priedieu are placed and
brass lamps kept burning. Some hard
wood. presumably oak, is the material,
but, like all Russian work. it is covered
so profusely with white paint and GID
ing rs to make close examination next
to impossible. The features are those
of some saint of the Greek church. and
the figure has brawny chest and shout
ders which fall OF into an indetermin-
ate block. the arms, hands and all but
the upper part of the body being rep
resented with a rude conventionality
that has not altered BY so much as a
line in the hands OF centuries OF earv-
ers, covered by a gold tinsel screen.
Much of Mrs. keGnan's table service is
the work of Russian silversnliths and is
giided and elnbellished with old Rus
sian proverbs

Got Away With the Wood.

A broad hipped Italian woman, with
the usual assortment of vivid colors on
her head, the short greasy dress and
the secondhand shoes that had evil
IDENTIFY been plucked from alien ash
cans, stood in Center street ewing de-
spairingly huge pile of wood, says a
writer in the n. T. SlAR. Her cupiditv
was greater than her strength, but it
was equal to her skill. for she had piled
the boards on top of plank eight feet
long with such nicely that they We're
apt to keep their positions during the
journey to Mulberry bend. But it was
impossible for her TO carry it in
any manner except upon her head, and
the problem that was puzzling her was
how to achieve this feat. Other Italian
women passed with their big cargoes
of wood, and when the poor woman
thought that many similar Journeys
would be made by them while she was
watching her piekings her anguish of
mind became almost unbearable
Finally q friend passed by who promis-
ed to notify her husband and sister of
her dilemma, and presently they came
hurrying down the street. The man
had gold rings in his ears and a yellow
handkerchief around his neck He
looked big and strong enough to eat a
house. He was accompanied by wo-
man nearly rs big as himself. These
two picked up the wood, and the few
persons who were about supposed that
they intended to carry it home. but this
idea was quickly dispelled. The mans
wife stopped down and, placing her
head under the center of il. Slowly
