BEAUTIES INCREASING.

One Of the Alleged ERacts Of AthletSc1sm
Among the Fair Sex In Europe.
The English people, and particularly
English women, are greatly disturbed
at the statement recently made by an
American writer that there are very few
pretty girls in Europe. This writer re-
Gently made an extensive tour in the old
world, and in writing of his experiences
made the daring and positive assertion
that lone seldom sees pretty girl in
Europe, and, If one does, she is sure to
be an American" And he further cru
ely declared that the only pretty girls
IN England were the chambermaids at
the hotels. These statements, particu-
larry the latter one, were widely circu-
lated, and evoked great indignation and
warm denials, but withal they have
caused some discussion in London as to
whether beauty is really ON the decline
in England. The well-known painter,
Ford MADDOX Brown, has warmly es-
poused the cause of the ibeled fair ones,
and he tells the Pail Mall Gazette that.
from his experience and wide observa-
ton, he is sure there are more pretty
girls to be seen than there used to be
and that young women are taller and
more handsome than formerly" He
attributes this to their living more &C.
tive lives and taking much more exer-
else in the open air.

THE wheat Crop

This year it's estimated yeiid is l.

America is at least 2OO, 900 900 bus
hels greater than last year, allowing
abOat 2lAOOO,OOO bushels. bog ex-

tage of some 3OO, ,OaDO, 900 bushels and
our surplus of 200, 900, 900 bushels
that constitutes the valNe of our
opportunity. In q general way, the
crop Of the wOsld is said to be 25,-
8OO0O00 below the actual require
ments u she people. 1t is the GER
tain&y ~ EurOpe's need that has
prompted the Alliance leaders in
Minnesota, hasing their arguments
on the estimates of the Vienna Con
ference, which are similar to the
figures collected in this county, to
send out a million circulars calling
upon the farmers TO hold hack their
grain until the price 10 advanced to
$l.5O eE &2.OO Der bHshel. But
there is great danger in such policy
It will scare away European buyers
and eventually produce a glut that
will depress prices more than the
present course Of shipment. The
experiences of sever years ago ought

SLEEPING IN THE TOMB.
Death and Burial Of the Late
Newton G. Brownlee.

On last Friday, all that was NOR
tai Of our late friend and parishion-
o., MFR. Newton c. Brownlee, wl.o
died at his residence, in this parish,
on Thursday, the ETth. instant, was
lai& in grave at Bed River Gene
tery-the family burying ground.
The remains were followed to their
last resting place by large crowd of
sorrwful relatives and friends. He
died from q severe attack of that
dreadful disease, Swamp fever, after
an illness of about ten days. He
had all the attention that an afec
tionate wife, loving relatives and
kind friends and the bast medical
skill could render, but all Of no avail.
1t seems the One on high, Who
ruleth over all things, marked him as
His own from the very beginning of
the attack. It is raid that "death
loves a shining mark"
The deceased was about SO years
old, and was born and reared in Bos-
sier parish, his parents having settled
here long before the late war. He
leaves a devoted wife and several
children, and other fond relatives, to
mourn his irreparable loss. We ex-
tend to them our sincere coincidence.
in this their hour of bereavement,
and assure them that what is their
temporary loss is his eternal gain,
and that they will again meet him in
a happier and better world above.
/ The news of Nevis death-as he
was familiarly called by his friends
was received at every hand with evi-
dences of profound sorrow. His long
residence in this parish, his success
full career as a planter and citizen
his social standing and well known
Integrity, his genial and kind dispo-
sition, and his steadfastness to his
friendss had won for him hosts oi
friends and admirers, all of whom
we're anxious to pay some tribute t.
his memory. &C. Brownlee was a
oble man and an excellent gentl
man, and Bossier parish can i'll afford
to lose such citizen. He had but
few enemies, if aDy-nOne that hs
deserved.

Midway Notes.
SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1891
deserved

SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1891.
The cotton crop of last year
amounted to over eight and half
million bales. If laid out in line,
allowing each bale to reach six feet,
it would make a string cotton bales
977l miles long; piled up six deep,
it would cover GAO acres or a section
of land, allowing each bale six feet
long and three feet wide; spread out
fat would cover six sections Or abe ut
5000 acres.
Some editors are very clever just
before an election. Why, they fairly
load the mails down with papers,
sending TO great many parties from
whom they never expect to get a
cent. Lots of papers come to the
Midway post Office, and many of the
parties TO whom they are addressed
refuse to take them out; when the
editors are informed of these facts,
they write Us polite letters, saying,
"Just take them out and read them,
as they have ail been paid for" Some
body is very clever to US. May b.
thsy expect to get paid something in
the future.
I learned to-day, from a reliable
source, that there is a young white
| man living few miles from here who
has never lived any where else, never
went to school a day and never heard
q sermon preached. If our State
was made up of such a dont-care-a-
continental kind of people, we could
dispense with the public school sys-
tenn, and John A. could offer that
part Of his money to the raising of
''yaller" dogs.
I have just learned of the death of
one of Bossier's best citizens, Mr.. N.
G. Brownlee. Newt was a good boy
and grew up to make a good man and
citizen We have but few men of
his mould to spare. The bereaved
family and friends have the heartfelt
sympathy of this community. May
they be enabled to bear up under the
trying oddeal, and prepare for the
happy abode in the realms of eternal
bliss. MACK.

The Yalue Of Platinum.

The market value of platinum is at
present nearly equal to that of gold,
their respective prices being "a and
"a IS. Eighteen months ago, says the
Electrician, platinum was to be had for
about 80 shillings an ounce, and six
months ago the price was under ES.
Apart from the question Of q possible
''corner" and the ever-increasing de-
mand for platinum for electrical pur-
poses, this 166 per cent. rise in price
within eighteen months may be at
tributed in q large measure to the in
creased cost Of production at the mines
in the Ural mountains, whence we draw
our chief supply of the metal. The
owners Of these mines, owing to their
large yield Of gold. were able to sell
platinum comparatively cheap; the
gold, however, is now becoming scarce,
and hence the platinum, which is still
plentiful, can no longer be sold at 50
low figure. Platinum, besides being
used for the leading.in wires Of glow
lamps, is largely used for electrodes in
electro-chemical work. and up to the
present no satisfactory substitute for 1t
has been fonnd so far - these sppica-
dons are concerned" --

AMERICANS GOOD FELLOWS.
XRPFessAO@s Of o French Tourist In This

XnProSsAO@s Of o French Tourist In T1ass
Country.
Generally speaking" writes O
sons, to the Boston Transcript, ''the
average American is a good fellow; he
helps you with advice and gives you the
benefit Of his experience; he is kind and
humane. The proof of this l have seen
at accidents many times in the streets.
If there is some trouble with street.
car, If it is derailed, all the passengers
jump out and help to push the car, as
sist the conductor in every way possible.
This is really very remarkable fact,
and it is great credit to the American
people, indicating the development Of
feeling.
81 have seen the same accidents h
Paris, when the poor horses have fallen
on the slippery pavements. Do you
think that any passenger jumped out or
helped the conductor to raise the horse?
Not at all. The passengers remained
calmly seated in the omnibus and the
passers-by looked on lsughingly and
made jokes about that which was not
funny at all.
Tho humane feelings are more de-
veloped among the masses of your pop
ulation~ Is this due to higher degree
of civilization? / don't know. Is it due
to the virtue of primitive nations2 ]
don't know, either. / know only that
it is kind, that show of feeling, and
feeling, as our grand orator, Mirabeau,
has said, is the best part of u.s."
