The city authorities had ordered
the school closed and to prevent its
being continued, had arrested a mum

Cane cnlture in Dalcasieu seems to be
anew idea with some of our people. II
they would consult with some Of our
oldest citizens, they could tell of the
cane fields Of sfortysiye years ago,
managed by Major Coward, Hon.
James Perkins, Judge Henry Moss,
Hon. johnson Moss, and Others, in this
parish, who made farming profitable,
before the lumber business began 10
attract attention and absorb nearly
every other interest flor q time at least.
The oldest citizens and farmers who
have temporarily suspended in q
measure agricultural pursuits, are annu-
ally returning 10 that interest, and with
success. DalcRsieu needs now what
she had then; men who made farming
speciality, and with the improved
implements and facilities of the present
day, farming in Calcasieu will pay
better than any other business. We
wish to be understood we do not mean
to say that there are no farmers in
Oaicasieu, and that they are not indie
pendent and doing well, nor do we
want to be understood as saying that
one Of our farmers will make more off
his farm than one Of our saw-mills, but
We do mean that the farmers, as a class,
will be more independent and more
generously rewarded for their labor
than any other class OF business men.
In fact our Sugartown and pine woods
farmers, as well as our prairie
farmers, are the happiest ard most
independent class Of people in our
parish. Many Of them are cultiyating
cane and making sugar and syrup on
small scale, to say nothing of cotton
rice, corn potatoes, oats, etc., all of
which can be raised in abundance with
proper cultivation and management.
The Lake Charles Agricultural,
Horticultural and Stock Association
appointed at its last meeting q com
mittee consisting of S. E. Clement, D.
B. Gorham, a. Thompson NJ Vincent
and A. Meyer, 10 which was also added
Prof. S. A. Knapp, to take such steps
as necessary to have Calcasieu repre-
sented at the Cane and Cotton Palace
az New Orleans, La, which opens Oh
the 18th inst At the first meeting Of
said committee they appointed S. E.
Clement to get up the exhibits, for
ward same and represent this parish at
said exposition. Mr. Clement is en-
couraged with his success thus far, and
says he will get up splendid exhibits if
the citizens will continue to assist him
by forwarding such field and garden
products as they may have from time
to time He especially requests the
ladies to furnish from day to day sucl
flowers and eyergreens as will enable
him to keep the exhibits orDamented.
ANY ornamental needle work will he

1t May Sound Silly But Means Much

1t May Sound Silly But Means Much
Whom One Understands 1t.
A few years ago the funny men of the
press found a fertile field for Jokes IN the
lingo" of the Concord School of Philosophy,
says the Youths Companion No doubt
there is ludicrous sound TO such invented
phrases as "the thingness of the is"-an
imitation Of the sound of phrases really IN
use; but one ought to be quite sure before
laughing at any phrase which one does not
understand that the inability to conapre-
bend it does not arise from ignorance.
For example, when we read that s'the
tolane dichloride of higher melting point is
probably the axially symmetric uodifca-
cation" we are conscious that we are read
ing species of English, and painfully
aware that we do not know what it is all
aoout-out no one laughs at it as nonsense
1t means something to chemists.
Occasionally much more familiar words
than those in the sentence Just quoted are
used in a highly technical sense. and onlv
those who are trained to follow meta
physical reasoning can catch the idea that
is to be conveyed Here is very good ex-
ample of the kind of writing alluded to.
1t is the production of a truly great man
Moritz Hauptmann, the greatest authority
of his time on the theory of music, and the
instructor of such famous composers as
Felicien David, Won Bulow and Sir Arthur
Sullivan. And this is how Herr Haupt-
mann defined sound:
''The coming to be of the being which sub
sists absolutely during rest and which is
alternately abolished and restored Not
being in self, or dead persistence in rest,
nor yet being out of self III the motion, is
sounding, but coming to self"
We may say, for the comfort of our read
ers, that Herr Hauptmann's definition and
theory of sound are not now accepted by
men OF science So they need never try to
learn what he meant by this strange con-
gregation of words.

She had been brought up in snch small,

little girl she had been sent from home to
school, and boarded with her Aunt Esther,

when getting her things together, she went
to her relative with these words:
"Aunt Esther, wouldn't do such q thing
as to say that Hannah would steal, but when
came here l had seven needles and four
rows of pins. Now, Aunt Esther, five pins
are gone and there is one of the needles
which can't find. Hannah must have taken

two or three days, she offered neighpor

she was afraid wouldn't keep TIL she got

expected, and went over and said if the pie
had not been eaten she would take it back.
