A Remarkable Discovery by
the state Assessors,

New ORLEANS, Jan I5,-A curious
and remarkable thing has been dis
covered by the state assessors. New
Orleans is divided into four assess
ment districts. 1t is now found that
an area of fifty squares in the rear Of
the Fourth district is not embraced in
the boundaries of any district. This
condition has existed since 1854, yet
has never been discovered by asses
sors, taxpayers or others interested,
Taxes have been regularly collected
as if it was in the Fourth district, and
some property has been sold for de
linquence. As consequence the
whole system of boundaries will have
TO be reformed, and considerable com,
plication and legislation is expected,

Of sunsets and sunrises during her trip,
while Miss Bisland travelling from east

the same actual time, one within the

and two snnrises more than the other.

Purchases of Louisiana Lands.

Those who have invested in Louisi-
ana lands have always. been well salts
fed with their purchases, and anxious
to make more of them. Most of the
lumbermen who bought Louisiana
pine lauds have been constantly add
ing TO their possessions; while those
few who sold ont at a profit of $50 or
300 per cent. generally purchased
other tracts in the state.
A proof of this satisfaction with
Louisiana purchases Is well shown in
the case of the Watkins syndicate. 1t
has been one of the largest investors,
taking nearly million acres in one
body; but this large tract, instead Of
satisfying it, has made 1t only eager
for more land. 1t has purchased
steadily since then, and only last week
bought one body Of 59,O2I acres of
state lands, paying cash for 1t, The
Watkins syndicate thus proves lis
satisfaction with its former purchases
and it's confidence in the future Of
Louisiana. Those who have any
doubts as to the value Of Louisiana
lands will do well to consult the Incky
investors who have bought heavily of

At home and abroad Count Won Moltke has
long been quoted rs the author OF the scnti-
ment Beer Is Germanv's worst enemy" A
temperance publication in Dresden recently
asked the field marshal 90 give is readers q
little lecture from this text His answer vss;
Il never said beer was Germanys worst
enemy. On the contrary. have always wished
'hat good light beer could be given 90 our
people Tor less money than that they nov nav.
Inc price at SiE or even 21t cents (for about Q
naf pint) is too high. In south Germany
they drink the less expensive cider With us

Is cheap. drink neither beer nor brandy, but
regard tne aooiishing of the use Of spirituous
liquors as neither possible nor desirable. Espe-
elaily are they necessary where quick, exhaust
ing work IL done, FOR instance, on the battle

occasionally stimulated. IL only for a short
time. Dangerous TO the country 10 alone the
abuse OF alcohol that unfortunately prevsils
among us. A healthy man underorlinsry CIR
cumstances needs no such tonic and the use of

Is true OF savages. who are the same as chill
dren. My desire is that coffee, tea and light
beer become cheaper and brandy become
dearer"
Bismarck's taste in spirituous LIQUORS Siferv
radically from the taste OF the field marshal
lied wine Is the natural drunk Of the north
herman. he once said. and prefer 20 see
my countrynlen drinking honest brandy 20
muddiing their brains with beer" Al another
time he remarked: The prevalent use OF beer
is deplorable. Beer drinking makes men
stupid, lazy and incapable. IL is the cause OF
all the radical pot politics hat men talk over
| it Good corn brandy would be better" Al
Versailles Bismarck quoted and Endorsed the
recommendation Of Prussian general: Red
wine for children, champagne for men, schnapps
for generals" The Kuyr Warschoeoska told
story some years ago Of wager made by
two Germans in Warsaw as 20 the preference
| OF bismarck for wine or beer. To settle the
point At issue they wrote 20 the chancellor
himself His highnsss directs me 90 inform
you, wrote his secretary In reply, that YOU

beer and good wine. and save when be IL IN
