Nhe Scale Insect.

PROTECT YOUR ORANGE TREES.
We have been reliably informed that
the scale insect is again IN the orange
groves, These insects have been success
fully managed in other places, and In TINS

our orange growers should lose their trees,
provided they apply the needed remedies:

4 Funny Problem

1t was a warm, sleepy afternoon, and the
scholars in Mrs PIummers school looked
and acted as if they wished four o'clock
would hurry along.
The class in mental arithmetic were
lazly droning through their lesson, when
Deacon Day popped his CHEEKY face in at
the door All the children loved him,
and we're glad wien lie came to visit the
school.
Perhaps he saw they needed something
to wake them up, SO when the class was
through with the lesson, he gave them
this problem:
IF eighteen cows were going through
a narrow gate where only one could pass
at a time, which COW could look back and
say, There are eleven pairs of horns be-
hind neT
The class thought busily for minute !;
then up came Tommy Tufts band.
(Which ore, Tommy asked the deacon.
The seventh.
"No."
Another minute OF study. then Celia
Brown put up her hand
What do you think, Cellar
Il think it might be the eighth, for
when the COW turned her head to look
back, her own horns would be behind her,
wou ldnt theyI
''No, ii isn't the eighth, " the deacon said.
About this time little Johnny HartshoFn,
on the front seat, began to smoker.
"What are you laughing at, Johnny =
asked Miss Plummer.
"Cows-can't talk - giggled Johnny.
Deacon Day laughed, too, then.
johnny has answered it, he said.
None of the cows could do it, of course. J"
Then all the scholars laughed and woke
up for the rest of the day, and Deacon
Day bowed himself out.-M @. w. e., an

There Is a we'll known dog in Barcelona.
He loves music and goes regularly to the
opera of his OWE accord, sits up stairs, ap-
plauds with the rest of his auditors at the
end if the singing Is good, by joyous
barks, but is very angry at interruptions
in the middle of piece. If there IS no
opera any evening, he goes off soberly to
the Opera Comique, but is never content
with second best when he can have the
best. This is good story, though true,
hut here is another as true. yet Still better
An Austrian banker lately went to
Vienna on business. He arrived in the
evening, travelling with large, handsome
dog. The two put up at hotel, and next

very pleased to see her, wagged his huge

calmly stretched himself full length before
the door. He explained, as perfectly as
possible, that ''he knew his duty NO

THE ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT,
MY LEGACY.

They told ME was heir; turned In haste,
And ran to seek my treasure,
Aud wondered as ran how it was placed
i'll should find measure
of Gold, or if the titles of fair lands,
And houses would be laid within my hands
T iourneyed many roads. Knocked at gates;
spoke to each wayfarer
| met, and said, "a heritage awaits
Me. Art not thou the bearer
of news? Some message sent to me whereby
+ learn which way my new possessions lie?'
Some asked me in, naught lay peyono thelr oool'
Some smiled, and would not tarry,
But said that men were just behind VINO pore
More good than could carry
And so the morn, the noon, the day, were spent'
While empty handed up and down went.
At last one cried whose face could not see,
As through the mists he hasted;
"poor child. what evil ones have hindered thee
Till this whole day is wasted?
Hath no man told thee that thou at joint heir
With one named Christ, who waits the goods to
share:'
The one named Christ sought for many days,
In many places, vainly;
heard men name his name In many ways,
saw his temple plainly,
But they who named him n ost gave me no sign
To find him by, or prove the heirship mine,
And when at last stood before his face,
knew him by no token
Save subtle air of JOY which filed the place;
Our greeting was not spoken,
In solemn silence l received my share,
Kneeling before my brother and Joint heir
Nv share No deed of house or spreading lands
ASH had dreamed; no measure
Heaped up with gold; my elder brothers mana
Had never held such treasure.
Foxes have holes, and birds in nests are fed;
My brother had not where to lay his head
NV share. The right like him to know all pair
Which hearts are made for knowing;
The right to find In loss the surest gain;
To reap my JOY from sowing
In bitter tears; the right with him to keep
A watch by day and night with all who weep.

And through my tears call to see each, Join

The Reverend Spurgeon advances a
somewhat radical view in Sword and
Trowel: 'In the matter of faith healing
health is set before US as if it were the
great thing to be desired above all things.
Is it so1 | venture to say that the great
est blessing that God can give to any of
us is health. If some men that know of
could only be favored with month of
rheumatism, it would mellow them mar
vellously, by Gods grace. Assuredly
they need something better to preach
than what they now give their people, and
possibly they would learn it in the cham
Der of suffering. I would not wish any
man long time of sickness and pain, but

ask for him A sick wife, a new made

Farm Notes.


Small farms and better farming are
needs of the day.
The food is the raw material and the
COW is the machine to manufacture milk.
A Louisiana planter lost 100 sheep out
of $50 by dogs He put poison in several
carcases and the next morning found ~
dead dogs.
Soap suds on wash days can always be
added to the compost heap with benefit
Producing at the lowest cost and selling
in market at the highest price secures the
largest profit.
Farm machinery and implements are
costly items of farming, and great saving
can be made by giving them good care.
There is no room on the farm for half
done Jobs, and the farmer who does this
kind of work pays dearly for it.
When green crops are grown for plow-
