correspondence.

To the Editor:
Sill see that in a late issue of the
SENTINEL, your correspondent "La-
Iourche" touches upon a question that
n'H',v Of Your readers no doubt dis
t.>~rs v.thnut further thought, but
which in reality deserves very serious
consideration. | allude to the fddlers
with a big +. "Lafourche" declares
that these little pests have reached
lakeland. If that is so, and | do not
doubt the statement, what is to pre-
vent them from extending their march
to Donaldsonville!
len years ago there were fddlers on
lower Lafourche, but the neighbor-
mood OF Orange City was his northern
limit and he was looked upon as AL
''amoosin cuss7 who did no great
harm. To day there are thousands
where then there were but scores, and
the sentiment of liberation with which
he was regarded is changed to i'm
p%lacable but alas impotent hatred.
interchangeable turnover that he is,
he will in one season make a mere
serve OF the best constructed leyee, or
with the earth extracted from his tun-
nels he will fill up the deepest ditch.
70 what cause must we ascribe the
enormous increase of this disastrous
little beast Undoubtedly to the
quasi determination OF his greatenemy,
the alligator. Of this there is ample
proof. First, it is only since the war
OF determination has been waged
against the alligators that the
flddlers have so increased in num-
bers and so extended their range, and
second, that along the banks of the
bayou, whenever an alligator is per-
mltted to establish himself, the num-
Der of fiddlers is notably less. These
are facts within the knowledge of
every observer on lower Lafourche.
The fiddler is here and he is here to
stay unless we find means of getting rid
of him. How shall we get rid of him ?
Certainly by availing ourselves of the
aid of our natural ally and his Datural
enemy, the alligator. But if the use
full saurian is to help us he must be
protected against the butcher who
kills him for his hide, and the assassin
who shoots him 'for fun" Give the
alligator a fair show and he will solve
the fiddler problem. S. G.

FEMALE REPRESENTATION
Estimates Made by the Philadelphia

Question.

According to estimates made by the
Philadelphia Methodist the women
of the Methodist Churches have car
ried the day, and are entitled 70 seats
in the General Conferences as lay dele
gates.
The question has been voted upon
during the past two months by on
gregations of all the Methodist
Churches of the United States, and
while returns from all are not yet in,
enough have been received to show
that the women are victorious
The vote everywhere was small,
and that Of the Eastern States Tex
cepting Massachusetts,, is against the
innovation. But the great West
rolled up a big majority for the wom-
en-. Out of a total of 27,955 votes
cast the women had a majority Of
6,719, or GO per cent. of the whole.
The South, so far as heard from, be-
lieves in sticking to the old custom of
allowing men only to sit in the CON-
ference. Following is a table OF votes

The Educat.on of ChlIdren.

/ think that all mothers must con-
sole themselves with the fact that no
system of education can be absolutely
perfect. Neither are we moi our chill
dren perfect. One thing should
never be lost sight of-that W. are ed
ucating children to be men and
women, not to be children.
We can dono better than to develop
them into what nature has intended
them to be; We cannot successfully
make them what we should prefer.
Let us accept our children as the kind
of people they are by nature. Do not
let them feel that their faults are up
permost in u minds when we think
of them. The person who is happy
surely faces the world at a great adj
vantage; the person who is unhappy
often has doubts and suspicious and
bitterness. Let us try TO give our
children the advantage of happiness,
and, though VIZ have no personal mo
tive, we shall surely not go unre-
warded.-Harpey'S BdzGT.

a1umlne the Throat.

This is the time of year when school
children begin to tie silk handker-
chiefs about the throat. The Ledger
reminds people that this is not wise I
if IA can possibly do without the
mufHing. for if once begun it must be
carried through the entire season, or
colds will result. Then, too, covering
the throat is apt to make it sensitive.
The muscles of the throat San be
strengthened by reasonable exposure.
But singers and speakers should al
ways cover the throat after singing or
speaking, when going into a cool
room, or into the open air. A light
bit of lace, or any open work cover
ing for the neck that will admit of
ventilation, is the best protection.
