NEEDLESS EFFORT.
The Foolish Expenditure OF Energy to
keep Up Appearances"

The Foolish Expenditure OF Energy Co
Keep Up Appearances"
One-half of the misery OF life ut least,
II not more, comes TO people from not
being able TO make both ends meet; and
yet great deal Of this carking care
and worry OF mind is unnecessary. IL Is
sad 10 think, indeed, how much OF tho
misery Of life Is absolutely needless
Many man, for instance, with n large,
expensive family, will toll on and
break down prematurely, whereas II he
had simply boon In the habit of dis
cussing matters In frank and friendly
way with his family needless luxuries
would have boon cheerfully given up,
and the idle would have willingly put
their shoulders TO the wheel This Is
not often done; the father keeps his
business affairs 10 himself, and his fam
lily become accustomed to his grumbling
over expenses; and whom the real trou-
Bile comes he stands alone with none to
help him-and IL Is his own fault.
Keeping up appearances" too, is
often Il fatally disastrous mistake; and
yet OF all idiotic things this seems the
most senseloss and the most needless
Nevertheless, II must be one Of the
strongest tcndenc les OF human nature,
for It has brought many one TO ruin,
and for what good2 What possible
good can II do US To have our neighbors
know that we keep two horses instead
OF one, and so ON in like ratio? Truly
man with all his intellect is complex
creature and tangles himself voluntari-
ly, IL would seem, in net of his own
weaving.-N. Y. Tribune.

excessive rains had rendered the ground very
wet and DOGGY, and the crops in such soil were
in danger of lasting damage under such influ-

has changed the entire aspect, however, and
the labors of the farmer have triumphed over
the grass and weeds that had begun to choke

fair weather. modified by light showers.
Cotton planting has been carried on to live

begun in the fields.
The condition of corn continues excellent;

siderably from the ravaSes of cutwOrmS, but

corn planted on uplands.

Good Country Roads.
N. o. Times Democrat.

A couple of years ago a movement
was inaugurated in Louisiana for the
improvement Of the country roads; but
politics becoming very hot just then the
road question dropped out of sight.
Two or three of the parishes passed new
and more far reaching road laws, but
very little came of them.
Now that the political campaign is
over we may hope and expect that the
matter will be taken up again and
something practical done. That Loui-
siana needs roads perhaps more than
any State in the Union is not seriously
disputed. The fact that it has so short
q mileage of railroads renders public
roads more than usually necessary here;
and the large amount of clay in the soil
makes those we have unusually bad.
The police jury of St. Mary parish has
made q new departure by contracting
with Mr. Jules Merquet to keep the
public roads of that parish in order for
three years for specific sum. The re-
suit OF this experiment will be watched
with sum interest 1t is not seriously
disputed that the present system of
keeping the roads in order is bad, and
that the forced road labor is unsatisfac-
tory. 1t remains to be seen whether it
will not be better to contract with some
outsider for road building and repair
ing, plan strongly recommended by
Eastern engineers. The course of the
police jury of st. Mary in the matter,
however, will give us an opportunity of
determining whether the change pro-
posed is good one or not. IL it proves
satisfactory. we are likely to have other
parishes follow in its footsteps, assur-
ing us good country roads, which we
need SD much in Louisiana.
