The late disasters on the rivers
has again brought to the front the
best method of preventing periodical
foundations along the Mississippi
river, and the ruin consequent there
on.
The Quite: system is again looming
up. But where shall the outlets be
made? Can anyone tellf There are
a number Of outlets just now that are
not giving general satisfaction at all.
The much talked of outlet into lake
Borgne, below New Orleans is feast
BILE and would certainly relieve New
Orleans from trouble for a few years
until the deposits in the river below
would bring the bottom up, and with
it the water level to the same height
it has now. There is only one method
to protect the country and that is by
solid substantial levees built strong
enough to hold the water.

The Republican leaders, seeing
their utter inability to maintain them
selves in power by fair and honorable
methods are determined to seize the
reins, and hold possession by violence
and bloodshed.
Bills are now introduced before the
congress to assume control and to
take the management of federal
elections in the southern states, no
matter what consequences may result.
Law, Justice, fair dealing or common
decency have been relegated to the
rear, and n longer enter into any of
their arguments to sustain themselves
in authority. 1t remains to be seen
whether there are rot enough honor
able men left in the country-men
who consider the interests of the COM
mon welfare superior to those of par
ty to check them in their wild career.
The late elections indicate that the
tide Of Republican tyranny and OPP
preston is losing favor, that the
people are beginning to see very
plainly that the government is gradu-
ally being taken from them and seized
by millionaires, monopolists, and be-
ing transformed from IA government Of
the people, into a hideous aristocracy
of trusts and wealthy combinations for
the benefit of the few at the sacrifice
of the prosperity of the masses.

WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING APRIL 26, 1890.

WEEP ENDING APRIL 26, 1890.
The rainfall for North Louisiana for
the past week averaged 2.47 inches,
being an excess of 1.O2 inches from
the normal for that period.
In South Louisiana the average
rainfall was still greater, amounting
to 4.39 inches, which was 3.01 above
the weekly normal for that section.
A deficiency of sunshine was noted
generally throughout the state.
The temperature during the week
vas below the normal in North Louis
lana and about the normal in the
southern portion of the state.
Considerable damage to the cotton
and rice crops in low lands has result
ed from the heavy rains of the week;
many fields have been flooded and the
cotton is becoming grassy, the ground
being too wet for field work.
Reports from Iberyille, st. John,
Assumption and neighboring parishes
state that farm work has to great
extent been abandoned, the planters
now devotiEg all their attention and
energies to the Nita and Morganza
crevasse waters.
The high water is fast encrOaching
on the fine lands on the east side of
the Teche. and the planters there are
under great apprebensions for their
crops.
The crops where not affected by
back water from are gener-
ally in excellent condition, particular
ly SO in the Red River valley.
All crops On the uplands have not
only escaped injury from the back
water but have also been greatly bene-
fitted by the rains which have not
proved too heavy for such localities.
The weather conditions have been
favorable for the cane, corn and vege-
tables. In TangipahOa parish the
rainy days interfered with berry pick
ing, but it is thought that the heavy
rainfall there will check the ravages
Of the crickets and bugs which have
lately infected the crop.
The observer ut Amite reports a
rainfall of 6.57 inches in 81 hours from
10 a. m. of 22nd to 7 a. m. of 23rd, and
at Hammond the fall from 9.15 a.. M.
of 22nd to S.45 a. m. of 23rd. amount

wise wear poorly; that's long exploded
prejudice. Lacquer preserves brass from
damp, and the beds are practically bug
proof, solid, dainty and neat. In England
they have been the correct thing for ten

AN EYE FOR MOTHS EGGS.
Don't think because you put your woolens
away In tight box that they are moth
proof. Would cheese be unmolested if you
put 1t away with q Gagged mouse? No.
So if your garments are locked up in close
case with moth eggs the grub or worm will
hatch, and when you look at your things
next fall they'll be riddled. These eggs sre
the size of a pin point, white and
take six days to hatch. Put your garments
away where no moths can lay eggs on them,
and then every day or so watch for the
worm. Two or three weeks watchfulness
will discover it, if it e1ists-.or in that time
it reaches its full size, quarter OF an inch
long, and can be easily seen.
Don't go out and buy bottle OF furniture

furniture needs varnish, some needs oil

OUR WELL-READ WOMEN,
Mrs. Kendall Passes High Compliments ON
Americnns-A Gift mt the Mint.

Mrs. Kendall Passes High Compliments ON
Americnns-A Gift mt the Mint.
Americans are wonderful people," says
Mrs. Kendall" in an interview pu blished BY
the Pail Mall Budget. Nobody can have the
least idea Of their real qualities unless
they have crossed the Atlantic and seen for
themselves. What astonished me most was
the extraordinary cleverness of the women.
You mention any remarkable book to them
and you find that they have got every word
of it in their heads. To call them well
read is hardly doing them justice. All
over the States, too, they did their best to
kill me with kindness.
One Of my biggest admirers was the mas
ter OF the mint at Philadelphia. When we
were playing in that city he wrote to me
and asked me if would like to visit his
dollar factory. Well, we went and saw
everything. But I was especially attracted
by the specimens of the now obsolete So
piece. l asked my friend if he could not
let ME have some Of these to take back with
me to England, and he actually granted my
request. Here is one of them" And Mrs.
Kendall showed me a grace ully-designed
gold coin, rather larger than a hali-sOver-
eign. "A lew Of these were struck on pur-
pose for me. and 1 am going to give them
to my friends as a memento of our tour"

hose are spliced at the ankles, where the
edge of the low shoe rubs most A novel
idea is to cut off the toes and heels of worn
black stockings, hem the edges, and wear
them over very thin white Isle. The effect
with any shoe is that of decorous black
stocking, but the injurious effects of the
dye on the skin are prevented. Handsome
embroidered silk hose do duty in this way
much longer than ordinary. The black silk
underwear is not favored for health or re-
fnement and is only worn by women who
make display Of personal charms, the first
point even in undress. Black next the
skin, especially when perspiring, is any
thing but sanitary.
New culors are cornhower blue, larkspur,
quite vivid shades, cowslip and daffodil
yellows, iuchsia red, holly and hop green,
very light and pretty. Peachblossom is
again favored. The vegetable colors, tomato
red in two shades, which gardeners recog-
nize as Acme" and "Livingston's Per-
fection;" carrot red and yellow and red
cabbage shades are too hot looking for sum-
mer.
BLACK LACE DRESSES.
Black lace dresses are made over watered
black silk, or bright colors; copper, daffodil,
gobelin or cactus green, with ribbons to
match the lining. Ihe colored hshnet or
Russian net over silk of the same shade is
newer and gayer. The last novelty is the
printed washing net, with a mesh like fine
old thread net and white medalions in lace
work, with flowers stamped on the lace
around or between the ovals. Shot silk tea
gowns or evening dresses with lace fronts are
cool and elegant looking. Daffodil Grape de
chine or dull silk are the fashionable tea
gowns.
Masculine articles are appropriated for
feminine wear unscrupulously. The Henley
shirts are ridiculous copies of mems With
linen fronts, stiff collars and four-in-hand
ties. Ladies vests in black armure silk
pin-dotted with the color of the dress have
the drilling back and buckled strap, and
the last novelty is the ladies' lounging
jacket, facsimile of the richly lined ones
affected by dudes. The model was null
berry broadcloth with ashes OF rose lining in
gros royale and frogs OF thick silk braid on

it from becoming common. Mems dressing

the lower seams half way, and facing them,

ROUGH ON THE BABIES.
Treatment to Which They Are Subjected by
Patagonian Doctors.

Treatment to Which They Are Subjected by
Patagonian Doctors.
When a child in Patagonia is sick q mes
senger is dispatched for the doctor, snd
never leaves him until he comes with him.
As soon as the doctor arrives he looks at
the sick child, and then with much cere-
mony rolls it up in a piece of skin. He
then orders clay plaster, and by this time
the child has ceased crying, soothed by the
warmth of the skin, and so rendering still
more solid his reputation as a wise nan.
Yellow clay is brought and made into a
thick cream with water, and the child is
painted from head to foot, causing him to
cry again. ''The devil is still there" says
the doctor sagely, and undoes two mysteri-
Gus packages he carries; one contains rhea
sinews (ostrich) and the other rattle made
of stones in gourd decorated with feathers
He then fingers the sinews, muttering
something for few minutes, then he seizes
the rattle and shakes it violently. staring
very hard at the crying child. Then wraps
it in the skin again and it ceases crying.
Again it is painted, ratified at, and stared
at, and again it cries. This is done four
times, and then the cure is considered COM
plete. The doctor leaves the child quiet.
enfolded in the warm skin, and goes his
way, having received two pipeiuls of to-
bacco as lee.
Strange to say the child generally recov-
ers, but if it does not, the doctor gets out of
the difficulty by declaring that the parents
did not keep the medicine skin tightly
around the child and so let the devil get
back again. This is the only treatment sick
children in Patagonia are ever known to
receive.

will recommend itself to fresh, full faces.
The jeweiled bandeau may be replaced by
narrow picot ribbon tied in pert little bow
or two on the hair or a thread of flowers, or
the narrow opeRwork jet fllets, which any
girl can make for herself. The glossy hair.

only style of hair dressing that is not

only 80 or 60 seasons at most.
The dust cloak in black surah, silvery or
fawn gloria, thin and lustrious as new
coinage; or very fine mohair in light tints. is
dressy enough to substitute for elaborate
toilets mornings and middays. Abroad
they are thrown over a morning dress with
out corsets, and the velvet or passementerie
girdle, trimmed collar and cuffs, make the
whole ornamental enough for general ac-
ceptance, sort of
CHARMING STREET NEGLIGEE,
which the old-fashioned duster never was.
The Bolero bat, in fancy crinoline or mixed
Neapolitan and Tuscan straw, is one of the
newest and lightest of the midsummer hats.
The brim is wide enough to shade the face,
but not to hop In breeze like the enormous
shade hats The trimming is silk or ribbon
pompons, or punches of large flowers in
similar effect, huge bluets or carnations,
guelder roses, or the new feather aigreetew

1 must speak of the latest invention to
give relief to women's souls and keep the
hens of their dresses nice. When YOU 20
away for the summer don't forget to buy
wire dress brush, like the wire hair brushes,
with strap Tor a handle, which will take
the dust out of cloth dress, brush the mud
off and lay the nap sooner than any imple-
ment known. The long skirts are traps for
dust and soil around the hens, but this
HANDY invention erases spots with less effort
than brushing ones hair. Further, it
smoothes serge gowns and lays the pleats of
tailor gowns in place almost as if they had
been pressed. Such brush costs 80 cents
and is invaluable Tor women's and child
ren's clothes, and the way it takes the mud
of boys trousers is remarkable and refresh

just now for a new bed style that will be sure
to come into big favor in this country, as
it points to the utter annihilation of the
cumbersome double beds and the substitu-
tion OF two single beds, placed snugly to-
gether with head and footboards SO fash
ioned that they match up and form unity
of design. The beds have separate linen,
and, although to the casual observer they
look like one structure, in every other par
tIcular they are two beds. In sweeping
they can be more easily moved than one big
bed; they are more easily turned, and, fur
nished with separate coverings, the lat
spouse can sleep as nature made her, while
her thin mate can bury himself in blankets
and snooze without fear of pneumonia.
The other day l saw pair of antique cur
tains which John Jacob Astor paid 5000 for.
Within half an hour and a stones throw l
saw almost identically the same thing, just
as fine, as complicated and as good stock,
for SIS. The reason was this: The making
of antique lace curtains dates back to about
ten years prior to the nco-Prussian war.
TAUGHT BY THE EMPRESS.
The poor Of Luxouil, France. were in
wretched circumstances, and the Empress
Eugene conceived the idea of educating
them in lace work. She taught them the
peculiar fsh-net stitch of the antiques"
and sent them the stock and patterns to
work up. Of course any charity OF the good
Empress soon became tad, and, as she
used the products literally in the draping
of her own parIors, society did likewise.
Aud the demand was soon far in excess of
the supply. As the time went on, however,
the lace workers became more business-like
and proficient in their methods They now
buy their twines cheaper and put all hands
at work, child, adult and aged, and, as the
fashions relaxed and supplies accumulated,
prices found their level, and hence you and
