since leaving Fort Worth I have visited a

the late AL Haynes friends. all of whom speak
in the highest terms of kim and say that sub
stantial and beautiful monument should be
erected to commemorate his heroism. They all
say they would like to contribute to such a fund,
but do not know to whom to send the money. II
I may be allowed to offer suggestion, will say:
Why will not THE GAZETTE, ''the paper of

start any kind OF a boom. start list of this
kind and have it understood that all moneys
sent to the paper will be received for this fund.

feel honored in so doing. l would be glad to
give s.. 80 for this purpose. Respectfully,

The Opelousas courier., 1890-11-15
South Americans Reverence Coca.

From time out of mind the tribes of the
of the southern continent have regarded
coca with extreme reverence, worshiping
the shrub Itself and using Its leaves in
their religious ceremonies. Inca priests
chewed it during divine service, and it
was believed that unless those worthless
were well supplied with coca the favor
Of the gods could not be propitiated.
During the $50 years that have inter-
vened Christianity has not been able 10
eradicate this deep-rooted idolatry. To
this day it is the general belief that any
business undertaken without the bene-
diction Of coca leaves cannot prosper.
The Indian workinen throw coca suds
upon hard veins of metal to soften the
ore and tighten their labors. In every
ancient gravea supply of coca leaves is
found with the mummy, and the Indians
Of to-day put the amt into the mouths
Of their dead il order to secure for them
o more favorable reception in the
unknown world. Whenever q wander.
ing Peruvian happens to fall in with q
mummy, q not uncommon occurrence,
since the whole country is n vast cema-
tory, he re~verently presents 1t with q few
coca leaves, believing that the soul which
once inhabited the shriveled body will
report his generosity to the lord Of the
better country Washiagtos Star.

The stran.est Fish in Tia World.

The strangest fish in the world is said
to be the humble herring. He is as
common as mud, and as cheap as dirt;
but he cannot be beaten for flavor; and
It Is claimed for him that he supports
mots persons than any other creature IN
the world-in the catching, the preserv.
Ing, the selling, or the eating. Anothes
curious thing is that he assumes so many
| ihapes and names. Catch him in one
,lace and he is a bloater; in another, o
lodger; ia q third, a spIat, and. whea
goung, he is taken from the. Thames and
allied whitehall, while across the Chan
iel in Brittany, before he is more than .
couple Of inches long, he a be found
innsd and labeled in pure olive oil as 4
lardlne. He is q wonderful fish and FROM
ihe out-and.out genuine ancient and fish,
ike smell during the herring harvess
that obtains in the neighborhood about
Amsterdam, it is not very hard to believe
hat that ancient and highly-respectable
own is really built, as they say, on herr
ing bones.
Once upon q time the herring used to
Sc worshiped in Holland, a custom that
obtains to.day in Scotland in q very prac-
ical manner. They have q cheerful
method at soma OF the fishing ports IN
that country Of insuring luck before they
start out with their boats on q fishing
rip. Each man thrashes his wife, and
; he one who first draws blood is sure tb
aavs the biggest haul. For self-protee-
ion the women invented q peculiar
method OF lacing their corsets, which
thus became known as herring boning, a
:erm now in everyday use among sea-
iaring men. The nnen will not go out,
aowever, if q woman wishes them .'gooa
