The Beginning.

A crevasse occurred Monday night just
opposite the exposition grounds, about
eight miles below Algiers, which at last
account was 100 feet wide and 10 feet
deep, AMI has already OyeIfiOwed a good
deal of the neighbOring country, and the
great flow of water through the crevasse
is spreading rapidly and will soon cover
that entire section, causing hundreds of
thousand dollars damages.
An attempt was made by the Southern
Pacific and Texas Pacific Railroads to
close the break, but all attempts proved
futile. and the work was at last aban-
dOned.
The passengers of the Southern Paci-
fic will be brought in the ferry of the
company to Waggaman station. this
side of the break, and the freight Tor
this section will he carried TO Thib0-
deaux. by boat; the Texas freight will
90 by steamship to Galveston. 1t will
probably be several days and perhaps
weeks before the trains can resume their
regular trips.
This crevasse was caused by the cutt-
ing of the levee in December last tC
place an iron irrigatiDg pipe. the work
having been improperly done.

If the hen house gets filed with lice

IT is simply adding to the expense to

FEED according to the very best meth
DDS, for corn is too scarce to waste an
ear of it If you are not settled upon
the best method ask advice,
EARLY chickens are by far the most
profitable, but in many cases it is not a
good plan to hatch turkeys, geese or
ducks too early in the spring.
If the fowls are healthy to begin
with, and they are well fed and cared
for, no artificial preparations are neces-
sary to maintain good health
If the fowls are confined a good plan
of feeding them is to give soft feed in
the morning, some kind OF green food
at noon and whole grain at night

high inside, and is banked up on the
outside nearly TO the caves and sodded
with blue grass. The space between
the gable roof and the ceiling is closely
packed with straw, as also is the upper
half of the double walls, besides being
lined with tarred building paper. There
is ventilator twelve inches square at
the north end, the outer end of which is
covered with wire screen, while the in
ner end is fitted with hinged door.
This is much better than ventilator in
the roof as all leakage is avoided. At
the south end is a covered entry, six
feet square, having an outer and an in
ner door. Just within the inner door is
another door opening into the green
house. Thus in the coolest weather
frosty air can not enter when the owner
does.
The walls of the greenhouse are also
double, but the space between them is
only two inches. The roof is double
with roofing paper between, and in
winter the sashes are double. The out
er sashes are taken off in spring and
used oR the s,ve ct potato beds. There
is door at the east end of the green

ed up in winter and used only in the
spring. In very cold weather the green

There sounded the tread OF marching feet;
Stately. slow. not the haste OF retreat;

The drum had a voice not heard before;
Its throbbing said: We fight no morel
We are coming home Rejoice. Oh landl
And thrill to the tread Of each valiant band"
We are coming honei On, blessed token,
Was ever so glad message spoken?
Heard Ike the famed shot round a world,
That saw the victorious stars unfurled.
They are coming home TO the orchards bloom;
For the marching hosts, Oh land, make roomi
Give them a soldiers welcome home
And peace as white as the oceans foam
For North and South glorious dawni
The invaders foot at last withdrawn
Her flowers could spring up and smile
And no rude war-whoOp more defile;
Her rivers now could crystal run;
No battle-cloud obscured the sun;
million hearts set free TO beat
To civic hopes and desires sweet
The spring rejoiced for either side
And flung her blossom banners wide;
A tenderness was in the air.
A deep relief felt everywhere;
A. ay from fields their valor won.
Under the dome at Washington,
On 10 their homes ablaze with cheer,
Wended conscript and volunteer.
Never since has our country known
So fair a sky as on April shone;
Never such rapture in song OF bird,
Never such martial music heard;
Though dead and wounded intrude regret,
