Water Mains.

The water board has made the necessary
arrangements to extend the water mains a
distance of two blocks east on Mason street
from Hickory street, eleven persons having
agreed to make taps at once. Work will be
commenced as soon as the pipe comes. II
seems TO us that it would be a wise move to
extend the mains east on Main street and
across the river to the pump house just as
soon as practicable. This would give two
connections with the pumps and in case of
break on the present line afford protection
at all times. 1t is well to keep this matter
i'm view and act as soon as possible.

Vegetable HedgchOgs.

Cactuses are the hedgehogs of the
vegetable world; their motto is "Nemo
me impune lacessit" Many time in the
West Indies have pushed my hand for
second into a bit of tangled bush, as
the negroes call it, to seize some rare
flower OF some beautiful insect and been
punished for twenty-four hours after
ward by the stings of the almost invisi-
BILE and glasslike little cactus needles.
The reason for this bellicose disposition
on the part of the cactuses is a tolerably
easy one to guess. Fodder is rare in the
desert The starving herbivores that
find themselves from time to time be-
lated on the confines of such thirsty re-
gions would seize with avidity upon any
succulent plant which offered them food
and drink at once in their last extremity
In the ceaseless war between herbi-
vore and plant, which is waged every
day and all day long the whole world
over with far greater persistence than
the war between carnivore and prey
only those species of plant can survive
in such exposed situations which happen
to develop spines. thorns or prickles as
means of defense against the mouths
of hungry and desperate assailants.-
Grant Allen in Macmillan's Magazine.

Pathetic Farewell.

Jacques Jasmin, barber and poet of
France, began life in extreme poverty.
That the pathetic events of such child
hood must have sunk into his soul may
be guessed from one incident which, in
after years, he set down in his "Recol-
lections." His grandfather, when too
old and infirm to solicit aims, quietly
made arrangements to be carried to an
almshouse in order that he might no
'onger burden the family. Jasmin says:
was then ten years old. was play
ng in the square with my companions.
yirded with wooden sword, and I was
ring, but suddenly dreadful spectacle
disturbed my royalty. l saw an old
nan in an armchair borne along by sew
sral persons. The bearers approached,
and recognized my own grandfather.
In my grief saw only him.
ran up to him i'll tears, threw myself
on his neck and kissed him. He re-
turned my embrace and wept
"Oh, grandfather" said |, where are
you going? Why are you leaving our
homer"
"My child" said he, 81 am going to
the almshouse, where all the Jasmins
die"
He again embraced me, closed his
eyes and was carried away. We fol-
lowed him for some time under the
trees, and then | abandoned my play
and returned home, full of sorrow.
In five days the dear old man quietly
breathed his last. His wallet was hung
up on its usual nail in the room, but it
was never used again. One of the bread
winners had departed, and the family
was poorer than ever. On that Mon
day l knew and felt for the first time
that we were very poor. Fortune came
to ME years after, but for some of those
loved she came too late.

The Father of Modern Jurisprudence.

Louis TX was practically the founder
of modern jurisprudence. About the
year 1241 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work of re-
dressing their own wrongs, and pub
lished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi. This forbade private
redress for wrongs for the space of forty
days after the injury was committed.
During that time the injured person
must seek redress and satisfaction in the
kings court, and if his wrong were not
righted at the end of forty days he
might then take it's rectifcation into his
own hands.
This proclamation made justice speedy
and tolerably sure, although of course
its administration was in a rough and
ready way and unless the records are at
fault some law of this kind prevailed in
Louisiana at the time when Missouri
was part of the French kings posses
sions.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Writing Letters Without Sight.

A woman whose eyesight has passed
almost beyond the failing point finds
such relief in using the ridged tablets
upon which paper is laid that she says
all nearly blind persons should do like
wise. "They have made letter writing
a pleasure" she says, "where before it
was pain. put pin in where 1 leave
off, and l can begin right again after
any interruption.-New York Times.

Nickel Armored Ships Can't Go North

The remarkable discovery of the ef-
feet Of temperature on the density of
nickel steel is likely. to have an i'm
portant bearing on it's use in the con-
struction of war vessels. After this va
riety Of steel has been frozen it is read
lily magnetized, and, moreover, its den
sity is permanently reduced fully 2 per
cent. by the exposure to the cold. 1t is
stated that ship of war built in the
temperate climate of ordinary steel and
clad with say 5000 tons of nickel steel
armor would be destroyed by visit to
the arctic regions, owing to the con-
traction of the steel by the extreme low
temperature.-New York Journal

How New York Appears

How New York Appears to a Foreigner.
Of the ugliness, confusedness and shah
biness of New York nothing new can be
said; but full justice is done to the Cen
trail park, which in another generation
will be the most beautiful public resort
in the world. 1t would, however, be al
together unfair to judge of America by
New York; no other town in the Union
can vie with it in dirt, inconvenience
and meanness of appearance.-London

"YAAHOO" FROM BLACK R.yor

In this issue of The PROGRESS will
be found a communication from
"Yaahoo' from Black Bayou, who
takes issue with ms regarding our DO
sition on the Mcoringsport ferry
question. 'Yaahoo" says that THg
PRoGREss is not the first one who has
attempted to make this ferry a source
of revenue to Caddo parish. On this
point we assure him that he certainly
did not read our article carefully as
we by no means undertook no such
thing. On the contrary, we indorsed
the action of Messrs. Youree, Taylor.
Herndon and Hall, agreeing to fur
nish boats, bat for the parties most
interested to defray the expenses of
conducting this ferry. The parish
wants no revenues from this under
taking; on the contrary it is willing
to furnish boats for the purpose, but
THE PRoGREss did assert, and does so
still that the general taxpayers
should not be forced to pay for some
thing that they, directly or indirectly,
received far less than It's cost in re-
turn therefor.
"Yaahoo" says further, that he and
his neighbors would like to be recog-
nized AS citizens of the State. We
are glad to see such pride manifested,
but there is a time when u luxury be-
comes too costly and when it does we
have to forego the pleasure OF their
indulgence, though it be our most
enjoyable one. We all take a pride
in our citizenship, or should if we
don't, but the majority Of us have to
pay well for the privilege, and while
we are expending this good sum for
the recognition it is not exactly plain
why we should give others royalty
for bringing no more to the common
interest than We do. We are proud
of the Black bayou country and OF
"Yaahoo," but if they cost us more to
retain them than they bring to us
then its bad business policy to hold
on to them. We are willing to help
pay for your citizenship, "Yaahoo,"
but we are not willing to defray all
the expenses incurred by the asser-
ton of this great privilege by your
self and friends.
