We had the pleasure of ii call from one of
the old citiaens of Iberia parish and in the
course OF the interview, learned the following
in reference to the electric lights to be in
operation there within fortnight
The company is composed of local capital
lists, with the Hon Joseph A. Breaux onr
superintendent ofpublic schools. as president.
Cash capital for the plant $4,000 Eddisen
electric lights are to be used, and 600 lights
will be put into.immediate use
The town of New Iberia takes for lighting
her streets, 40 lights at 81 per mon th each
in other words the enterprising town will be
lit up with 40 lights, burning all night, every
night, for $3.50 per year, or less money than
10 now paid for few street lamps.
This will give an approximate idea of the
cost to Lake Charles. If 40 lights are taken
at 81 each, per month, a hundred could pro-
bably be had for Is cents per month each.

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.
The Best Textbook for the Study Of Poll
tics and Social Science.

The Best Textbook for the Study Of Poll.
tics aud Social Science.
The study Of current topics is not q
new idea. Many teachers have followed
the practice for some time, and we be-
lieve everywhere with satisfactory re-
suits. Education must be fair reflex
Of the civilization OF the age. A mod
ern school without science courses
would be an anachronism. The pract-
ical study Of politics and social science
finds o place in every college and in
most secondary schools. As human
knowledge broadens, the horizon Of
school education must become corre-
spondingly wider. There is no more
characteristic feature Of modern life
than the newspaper. 1t is thing Of
which Plato and Cicero never dreamed. Of
which Dante and Shakespeare never
heard. Three centuries ago no wealth
could buy such knowledge Of the
worlds current affairs as now the poor
man can get any day for two cents. The
modern newspaper, like all institutions
OF value to man, was not created in Q
moment. It is the growth Of many
years and varied forces. We owe 1t to
Columbus and Magellan; to the states
men and soldiers who won the right Of
free speech; to the scholars who made
knowledge the heritage Of the race; to
the business men and scientists who
created the republic Of the world and
bound 1t together BY means Of cheap
and rapid communication. Thus the
newspaper is child Of the age. and it
serves it by photographing time rs it
flies. What better textbook can the
intelligent teacher and than q good
paper? It will serve to awaken inter.
est in the important moments of pub
lie life. 1t is constant lesson in morals.
It shows the innum cradle applications
of science. 1t reveals literature as liv-
ing force, notas adead body for mere dis
section. 1t correlates actual things with
the studies Of the school-ro0m, showing
the student visible results and applying
the principles Of the hooks to what men
are really doing. Thus the boy and
girl at the same time discover that their
studies are no mere classroom routine.
and learn to carry them out in the most
valuable way. The study Of current
topics Is q constant lesson In history. in
politics, in science. It win add 70 the

with the deepest chagrin thathe saw his
pearl-handled weapon transferred to the

He now lay quite still and surveyed

He failed to discover any thing OF
value in the bureau, and ordering Dick
to get up, passed into another room.
Here the burglar met with some sort OF

were hastily thrown into the bag. Dick

A CITY IN MINIATURE.

How o Retired COnfectl0ner Has Invested
Some OF Hts Money.
Alois Peteler, Of New Drop Staten
Island, former resident of the city OF
Heidelburg, Germany, has built q per-
feet ''pocket edition" OF the old German
burg in which he was born and raised.
With numerous photographs, drawings
and plans Of Heidelberg, aided by a
thorough knowledge Of his subject, Mr..
Peteler began the foundation Of his lit
tie city; and now, sitting on his front
porch, he can overlook the roofs Of this
town Of Lilliput, and into the court
yard Of the great castle, so rich in ro-
nance, tradition and folklore. Every
detail of the original city is reproduced
with the fidelity Of the photographer.
From the balcony 1t is easy to imagine
that 1t is the real city, only dwarfed
by distance Of few miles. Looking
over the battlements OF the miniature
houses one can see the turbulent waters
of the Neckar hurrying past to join the
Rhine. The little city is made to en-
dure. There are no makeshifts - no
glue, pasteboard or carpet-tacks-every
thing is stone, cement, gravel, brass
and iron. The buildings are upon q
plateau OF stonework, elevated from
the ground four or five feet The houses
vary from one to five and half feet in
height; the tall towers running up from
seven to ten feet. Mr.. Peteler has re-
prod uced with the greatest fidelity over
100 busts OF the Electoral Governors,
which are used in decorating the fronts
of the palaces. Even the coats-of-arms
and quarterings over the entrances are
plainly cut. The old man takes pleasure
in showing visitors fac smile OF the
famous Heidelberg tun. 1t is really 80
feet long and Is high; the little model
is 12 inches in length and about eight
inches high. In another part of the
grounds the sea water is let in by pipes
and forms an artificial lake, in which
the tide rises and falls. Upon a pro-
montory which juts into the lake stands
model of the beautiful castle Of Ho-
hen-Schwangen. Its towers are nearly
10 feet high, and with its cluster OF
buildings is picturesque and beautiful.
Mr.. Peteler is retired confectioner,
with millions of dollars, thousands Of
which he has put into his miniature

Gus about burglars; now, he actually had

Dick examined all the doors and win
dows, and then assembled to his sleeping
chamber He proceeded to undress him
self, standing before the mirror. In

touched the butt Of his revolver. He
took it out and looked it over. The
chambers were empty and he filled them
from box in the drawer. This done,
he carefully weighed the weapon in his
hand, and was sighting it when he hap
pened to catch the eye of his double in

before been solemnly thoughtful relaxed
into smile.

THE USE OF FRIENDS.

Importance OF Needing the World Of
Wisdom They May Speak to Us.
Friendship is divine tie. and God is
the giver of our friends. He is our best
friend, and the highest honor that
mortal can aspire to is to be called ''the
friend of God" The Lord who gives US
friends gives them power over US to in
fuence US, not merely for the pleasure
OF the hours spent in their society, the
mirth, music and enjoyment of the
sunny day, but for the good that we
may do each other, the advice, the in
struction, wisdom, counsel and reproof
which we may receive at each others
hands.
Hence we are to watch in all our
friendships for opportunities Of doing
good to our friends and getting good
from them. II among thousand friends
we have one who dares to tell us of our
faults how should we prize such q
friend? II there is one among hum
dred who would have the skill to tell
us Of our failings without giving US
offence, how ought we to value such
one who, without flattery or favor, will
deal frankly with US and talk truly to
us and for our good?
All friendships are but for time.
Some are very brief We meet to-day,
and perhaps part forever. Our oppor-
tunities may soon be gone. and we may
not be able to do or say tomorrow
what we might do or say to-day. Hence
the importance Of instantly improving
by all counsel, admonition, instruc-
ton, so that we may derive the benefit
which comes through advice Of friends
and from the words Of wisdom which
they may speak to us.
How many Of our friends are gonel
Some of the truest the most faithful
and steadfast Others are swiftly pass
ing away. We have them but for q day.
Let us make the most Of them, and
pray that he who gives US friends may
make us worthy Of them, and teach US
wisely to improve the opportunities
which He bestows, and make the best
possible use Of all the friendships and
good gifts that come TO US from the
hand Of God Common Peopla
