A NEW PRESERVATlVE,
Provisions Treated by a Novel Sulph,
Fumigating Process.

Provisions Treated by a Novel Sulphur
Fumigating Process.
A remarkable discovery has lately
been made which promises to revolu-
tionize the provision business. At the
present time it is impossible to ship
eggs to Southern points, milk to any
place more than two days journey dis
lance, and some of the most delicious
game must be eaten in the vicinity
where it is killed. The most skillful
refrigerator produced serves only to
preserve meat and vegetables for a
brief period, and leaves them when
taken from the freezing chambers in
such condition that they must be
cooked at once or spoiled. If time
shall come when the farmer may send
his eggs or milk or other produce to
Brazil Or the antipodes. and Chesa-
peake reed birds sent to London and
Paris, the value of such commodities
will be tremendously enhanced, and
every corner of the world will be bene-
fited by the change.
A Chicago man claims that he has
found a preparation which will do lust
this for the producer of foods. Hav-
ing in mind the indefinite preservation
of human bodies in the shape of num-
mics, he has called his production the
Egyptian Food Preservative.
This is a patented article and con-
sists of powder made up of five or six
ingredients, among which are sulphur
and cinnamon. This powder, when
ignited, smolders slowly and gives out
dense, heavy smoke that sinks at
once to the bottom of the room The
process of applying it to any subject is
simple. If it be steak, or gallon of
oysters, or roast, or any other SUBJ
stance whatever, it is placed in the
bottom compartment of an ordinary re-
frigerator which has been made air
tight by lining it with rubber. The
powder is placed upon a perforated
shelf in the under part of the box and
ignited. The box is then closed and
not opened until the powder is burned
out. This may take half an hour, and
it only ceases to smolder when the
oxygen contained in the box has been
exhausted.
After that the subject of the process
Is found to be unimpaired in appear
ance and quality, and rendered per-
manently sound and wholesome. In
the case of meat and vegetables, it does
not matter whether they have been
cooked or not before being subjected to
the process. The result is the same.
Even milk, when thus treated, will
stand indefinitely without souring and
without losing any of it's nourishing
qualities. Eggs that have been treated
are found to have lost simply the vital
element-that is, il placed under hen
they will not hatch. A number of eggs
that had been thus treated and placed
under hen were left with her for
twenty-one days, after which they were
taken away and cooked and found to be
entirely wholesome. Chicago Herald.

What Shall We Call Her:

(For the Sentinel.)
ON call her not a blushing rose
For roses quickly fade,
Beneath the sun the blossom blows.
TOO soon it is decayed.
No fading flowers an emblem ara.
III those so lovely and so fair.
Oh call her not a beam of light
FROM such are shadows born;
And darkness blasts a thing so bright.
AS clouds obscure the dawn.
so transient is the mornings glow,
so often STEPPED in tempest woe.
And call her moi an orient pearl
FROM casket rich and rare,
NO earthly gem BELTS my girl
such as the worldly wear.
something of clearer purity
Is typical, sweet one, IF thee.
Ihen shall It be a trembling star
Piercing the ether high,
Deafness and faithful from affair,
A glory OF the sky?
All, stars are cold and distant things.
something more mortal to her clinys,
I'd call her angel were it not
Too pure a name for earth;
And hers must be the common lot
Since hers was wOman'sb birth.
On child so fair, SO bright. so free,
she is above all simiie. ESsIE..

A Sad Case.

Last Tuesday MI. Alidor Pitre, as
sisted by Mr.. Lester Cheramie and
other citizens from below the Cutoff.
brought Mr.. Charles B~ercherch. an
old citizen of lower Lafourche, tc
town to be confined in the parish jail,
IL raving maniac.
Mr.. Berclerch began to disclose
symptoms OF insanity on last We'd
hesday week, and the next day lie be-
came so violent that his neigllbors,
at the request of his wife and oldest
son, had to tie and bind HIM securely
to avert the commission of some rash
deed. He threatened to kill his son
and burn out his neighbors and cursed
and abused those who would succor
him.
He became possessed with the idea
that he is the second St. John the Bap-
tiste and can exercise the power of
life and death Over other mon. He
imagines that he can kill il man and
bring him back to life 10y simply
breathing into him. After examina-
ton he was ordered confined in the
parish Jail to await his transportation

event may never come III time to
assuage the sutferings of the unfortun-
ate wretch. He makes the fourth
Unfortunate mar bereft Of reason
confined i'll our Jail for want Of room
ut jackson. From the information
derived from the superintendent of
the asylum, no II can even surmlse
when there will be room. The asy-
lnm is already overcrowded and we
don't see where the relief is to come
from.
In the meanwhile, poor afflicted
wretches who might be cured or, at
least, relieved. if treated in time, and
whose only misfortune is that they
have been marked for the dread visit
alton of Divine Providence, are DOOM
ed to linger in fe;id prison cells. with
out the care and nursing which their
desolate condition demands. 1t is Il
dreadful commentary OH our human
ity andthe boasted progress, privileges
and advantages of our nineteenth
century civilization.

WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING July 81, 1889.

An abundance of sunshine with a
temperature above a seasonal average
prevailed in Louisiana during the past
seven days. The sunshine ranged
from So to Is per cent, and the tenn
perature averaged two degrees above
the normal for the week III the sugar
growing region.
The rainfall consisted of we'll distri-
buted showers in the northern portion
of the State where it averaged one a3d
one-half inches. The distribution in
the southern portion was much more
irregular and the amount was but .S5
| of an inch.
The foregoing conditions were fay-
Orabie in their effects on all crops ex-
cepting portions of the sugar region,
where too much rainfall in some local
tiles interfered to certain extent
with the laying by of cane.
In the cotton growing section of the
State observers and correspondents re-
port the cotton fruiting nicely. The
crop is now we'll cleaned and the gen.
era1 prospects are all that could he de-
sired.

portions of Red River parish, and
some caterpillars are reported from
there but in the adjoining parish OF
Avoyelles it is reported that the cot
ton and corn crop will be the largest
that has been made for years.
The Florida parishes report season
al and we'll distributed rains during
the week. with excellent crop prospects
generally. From Washington parish
it is reported that the weed of cotton
is probably growing too rapidly, pre-.
venting the formation and growth Of
boil.
Reports from the sugar region stats
that crops are growing finely, but
that the local rains have been yer,
unequally distributed, some planters
receiving too much, whereas others re
ceived none at all.
The rice crop is reported as doing

O.1 fellow citizens of Rapides and
its adjacent parishes are awaking to
the Importance of the sugar industry,
as may be seen by the following bit of
encouraging news, clipped from the
Alexandria Town Talk:
There will be a meeting held in
Cheneyville to-day for the purpose of
discussing and adopting some means
Of building and equippinga central
sugar mill at or near the town of
Cheneyville. If the people directly
interested in this movement will pull
all together there is no doubt but what
the mill will be erected. In no sec
ton of Louisiana is there a better
opening for such an enterprise than at
or near Cheneyville, in Rapides parish.
The land is especially adapted to the
cultivation Of sugar cane-bayou
Beuf offers fine facilities for getting
the cane from the surrounding country
to the mill-and best of all, the far
mers are anxious to go into cane grow
ing. They are all familiar with the
proper way to cultivate zane. Many
Of the farmers there planted cane be-
I fore the war, but their mills we're de-
stroyed then and they have never been
able to replace them. We trust the
meeting to-day will bring about the
result desired.

Educational Advancement In Louisiana.

We are much pleased to chronicle
the advanced interest that is being
taken in educational matters by the
citizens Of Louisiana. The inertneSs
and want of sympathy that Il few years
ago was manifest has disappeared, and
each parish now gives considerable
attention to its schools, not only for the
whites, but also the colored race. In
some of the parishes (%counties) the free
scholastic opportunities compare favor
ably with those of most Southern
States. This for Il long time was not
so, and of late IL greater impetus has
been given the subject 10y the public
exhibitions held by the schools, which
have been the means OF interesting
parents, and thereby infusing Il wide
spread influence. and to that extent
that it is safe to predict that within
the next few years, and very few at
that. Louisiana schools will be second
to none. The appointment of Hon.
Joseph A. Breaux, of New Iberia, La,
as State Superintendent of Education,
was a most wise one, for this gentle
man is indetatisable in his efforts for
the advancement of the cause o feduca-
ton. To him can be attributed much
of this success, as he has brought to
bear on the subject enlarged, advanc-
ed and modern ideas, and has taken
an interest that has led up to the uni
versal spirit that now reigns regarding
education. The sacrifice of time and
means is to this gentleman il secondary
consideration, his aim evidently being
to make the schools of Louisiana equal,
if not superior, to all Others, and
from the advancement noticed is ra-
pidly reaching such a state.-Souh
