SUBSCRIPTION, 50 A YEAR.
Insult Their Intelligence.

Fifty-six men at one little post office
in Sabine parish have publicly pro
tested against any more lottery leaflets
being sent to them. 1t is very splain
that a large majority of men regard
this lottery literature as direct insult
to their intelligence. The lottery
league fellows pile on too much agony
in charity and poverty. Like the
common rogue's fulsome flattery and
overdone politeness, it's too thick and
sweet to be nuine.-Ruston Ia)
Progressive Age.
DR.. Luderitz has recently made g
number of observations on the de-
structive power OF coffee upon various
microbes. He found that the organ
ism all died in longer or shorter
period-e. g., in one series OF expert
ments anthrax bacilli were destroyed
in three hours, anthrax spores in four
weeks, cholera bacilli in four hours,
and the streptococcus of erysipelas in
one day. 1t was, however, remarkable
that good coffee and bad coffee produc-
ed precisely similar effects. He be-
lieves that as previous observers have
suggested, the antiseptic effect Of coffee
does not depend on the caffeine it con-
tains, but on the empyreumatic oils
developed by roasting Canada Queen.
why don't you run a paper like
that ?" said merchan3 to publisher
throwing down blanket sheet city
daily. "Why don't you keep store
like that?" said the publisher OF the
country sheet as he turned the paper
over and pointed to full page adver-
tisement that brought the city pub
Usher $3.50 an issue, then the country
publisher presented a monthly bill for
IS, and the merchant began to talk OF
economizing by cutting down his ad-
vertisement and stopping his paper.
He did both, and the sheriff is now
doing his advertising for him.-Ex.
The original "She" of Rider Hag-
gard, chieftainess named Majajai,
whose kraal lies near the Dutch pos
sessions in South Africa, was fined
f300 by Transvaal native commits
sioner for committing breach of the
peace, in that her "Indunas" had fallen
upon native tribe with more or less
of destruction. Upon her re-
fusal to pay the fine was raised to fl,-
600 and 800 cattle.

Working for Glory

the following This paper does not
fear legitimate competition, and our
readers must not think because we
drop on the Alexandria Times occa-
sionally that it is done through jeal-
ousy. That paper was placed here for
the purpose of assisting the Louisiana
Lottery Company in getting the lot
terry amendment adopted by the people.
The Times has had very little to say
for the lottery, SO far, preferring to clip
what other papers say in its favor, but
the reason is plain: The Times hopes
to build up subscription list while
playing the neutral dodge and can be-
gin next fall and have plenty of time
to talk for the lottery before April, 1892,
when the election takes place.
It's expenses are between $4O0 and
$500 week, or at least $4,000 per
annum, and the editor of Town Talk
can't be made to think that any man
or company would be willing to sink
that sum or very nearly that sum,
every year, to publish paper like the
Times in town with a population of
less than 5000.
Baton Rouge, with a population Of
IL 900 people has no such paper, and
a paper like the Times could not live a
month there.

The Democrats, who will come into
control of the next House of Repre-
sentatives, cannot forget the lesson OF
the recent election, for it applies as
strongly to them as to the defeated
party. What is rebuke to the Re-
publicans may also be construed as an
admonition to the Democrats to stand
by fair play, uphold the freedom of de-
bates, recognize the rights of the mi
nority, and take no vengeance. Meder-
alton in dealing with opponents, even
though they have shamefully misused
YOU, is the manly course for all who
are worthy of sllccess.-Baltimore Sun.

A Puzzle.

The following curious puzzle beats the celebrated "l3-l5-14" enigma, and is well worth investigation. Take a strip of cardboard or paper 3 in- ches long and , wide, thus giving a surface of G. inches. Now cut this strip diagonally as true as you can, the result being two pieces in shape of triangles. Now measure exactly five inches from the larger end of each strip, and cut each in two pieces. Take your four pieces and put them in the shape of an exact square and it will appear to be just $ inches each way, or GA square inches-a loss of superficial measnr- ment, with no diminuatlou of sur face. The question is, what becomes of that inchy

WOMAN'S NOBLEST SPHERE.

The relation which exercises the greatest good over mankind, wheth- CT for good or evil, is undoubtedly the domestic. So strong is the at traction of the sexes for each other that where it is not satisfied there must always exist in measure dis content, which is sure to be an i'm pediment in the struggle of life, re- sulting too often in a lowering of mental and moral qualities, and q lessening of the energy and reso!u- tion which are needed in the severe contests of the world. Sentiment waived, the man who is happily mar ried finds a degree of comfort, con tentment, peace of mind and stimu- lus to exertion which makes if com paratively easy to do his best.
 Could the story of human life be found that these influences have been powerful factors in producing the best achievements of the world, and that unsufpected numbers of men who have been honored, as well as multitudes of the unknown, have owed the largest part of their work to the happy condition of their do- nestle life. This is the best expla- nation of that increasing difference that has been paid to woman as civ iization has developed. It has not arisen from mere chivalric instinct, leading to delicate consideration of the weaker sex, but it has been due to the growing recognition of wo mans power to help in the battle of life, by inspiring man to bear himself bravely and by creating the conditions under which he can dc his work well.
 This, notwithstanding efforts 10 broaden her sphere, will always he woman's noblest work. The woman who has found the man to whom she can be an inspiration, making him toll easily and happily for her sake, has found the widest possible sphere. The instincts of every woman lead her to seek this; whatever else wo- man seek is probably sought because they have been denied or disappoint- ed in this direction.

Improper Breathing.

Do you know why so many peo- pie get deaf as they grow older: :" sad a doctor. Ut is because they sleep with their mouths open. Any man or woman who does this perss- tently foryears will finally grow deaf, But that is not the only disadvan- tage of so sleeping. It is the cause of a score of affections of the throat and lungs, not to speak of snoring, which units any one at once for hu- man society. But the subject of im- smproper breathing is wide. Not one person in a hundred draws and expels the breath in the natural, healthy way.
