chosen to personify Louisiana, spoke for
her native state and city words Of thanks
and generalization to the victor Of New
Orleans, When he had replied in . few
short phrases, he paosed on between the
rows of young women, who strewed the
ground before him with flowers as he
walked.
The Able du Bourg met the hero and
his staff at the cathedral door. This
high priest was attired in all the SPLEEN
dor and majesty of his pontifcal robes
and supported by q college of clergymen
in priestly garments, and the multitude
was hushed while the simple words of
the girl were ampliied into a more
address of gratitude by the
lips of the cleric. Then the chief was
escorted to a conspicuous seat near the
altar of the cathedral, and the choir and
congregation chanted the ''Te Deum
Laudamus." This closed the formal serv-
ice. but it was long because of the press of
people, who yearned to see their savior"
as they delighted to call him, at close
range, before that simple soldier could
make his way to his quarters. The re-
mainder of the day was given up to jolli-
fication, and at night there was a general
illumination, and the merrymaking last
ed till the dawn of the following morn
ing.
But it must not be imagined that there
was no other feeling tran that Of graft
tude toward the hero of New Orleans.
There was a faction in the louisiana leg
islature in strong opposition to the gen.
eral sentiment Of alteration for the gen.
eral, and its power was such that when
the officers and troops were thanked by
resolution for defending the city and
state the leaders name was omitted from
the list OF those to whom gratitude was
expressed. This open slap in the face set
the people ablaze, and to add to the ex-
element q sheet was circulated at the in
stigation Of a member of the legislature
wherein divers acts of the victor and his
prolongation of martial law were vehe-
mently attacked. This stirred Jackson's
blood, and he ordered the arrest of the
legislator. Judge Hall of the United
States supreme court issued a writ Of ha-
beas corpus in the case, but the prisoner
was not released, and more, the judges
action was declared to be a violation of
martial law by jackson, who promptly
expelled him from the city. There came
q time of curse when martial law must
cease, and then the judge returned to
New Orleans and had his innings.
Before his bar the general was hailed,
and promptly he obeyed. His entry
into the courtroom was not noticed at

also than you will have later on, as

LOW PRICES.
If you have been renting a
house in the city, stop a moment
and think how much you have
paid out in rent, and if you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good
or a better house than you are rent
ing, and still you have no home OF
your own. Why not put this
money intoa
HOUSE OF YOUR OWN,
in which you will feel a natural
pride, and have a permanent and
pleasant home for yourself and
family in your declining years. A
little energy on your part will do
it. Start at once by
BUYING A LOT.
If you are renting a farm figure
a moment what you are paying out
annually for rent and how soon
this rental would buy a farm here.
What you pay out in rent in two
or three years in Iowa Of Illinois
would buy equally as good a farm
in South Dakota. Stop renting
and come out and buy a farm of
your own and feel the independ-
ence Of
OWNING A HOME.
Don't delay this until next year, as
very much advanced prices for
South Dakota real estate, which is
sure to come, will soon prevent you
from buying, and your opportuni-
ty of a lifetime will be gone.
But many will say, II have not

give you all the time you need on

convenience, saving a little for the
purpose from your other expendi-
lures, and before you know it your
lot is
PAID FOR
and you have not missed the mon-
ey, the amount of each payment
being so small. Had you not saved
and expended these small amounts
in this way, the chances are that
this same money would have been
expended in some trivial way and
you would have nothing to show
for it. Surely there is no

1t will surprise you when you

it will take to secure a fine resi-
dence or business lot in this city,
or a beautiful farm in this county.
We own and control nearly all the
real estate which we handle, hence
can give exceptionally low prices
and easy terms of payment. If
you only have a few dollars to

We will fit you out with a good lot,
or more than one if you want, and
arrange payments satisfactorily to
you. If you have only a few hum

The Interior OF tho Earth.

4 very large part of the educated
public believes that the earth is a
molten globe, specifically cnvcloped
by a chilled crust, and mag
azine article in support of such theo
ry has recently attracted much at
tention. Very many of the nat
ural philosophers consider it most
probable that the rocks at and near
the snrface of the globe would cx-
pand in melting. If the earth were
thus constituted, time would come
when the solid crust would crack
from it's own weight, or from some
moderate internal disturbance, and
then block after block of the crust,
region after region Of the world we
know and love 80 well, would plunge
slowly and heavily to meet the rising
motion flood, while whirlwindS Of
scalling steam would shroud perish
ing humanity.
Aside from ignoblc fears, there
seems scarcely any topic better suited
to excite q legitimate intellectual in
terest among men than this most
fundamental question concerning
that little planet, our world. Is it a
molten globe with pelliclc of cool
dry land, or is it really terra frma, a
solid earth?
The public may accept the theory
of terra frma in peace, as all the ar
guments which have not been shown
to be inconclusive or false Indicate
that the earth presents resistance
to reformation about as great as if
1t were a solid steel ball, and that 1t
actually is solid to, or nearly to the
center The permanent dcformations
to which it has been subjected near
the surface are enormous, and
their amount is seldom appreciated
by astronomers or physicists; but
these determinations have been pro-
ducs for the most part by the flow Of
solids, and there is no known in
compatibility between such distor
tons and the theory of q solid earth.

American Review.

Parents cannot be too careful how
they answer the apparently trivial
questions of their children. 1t would
almost seem as if a child's dictionary
were necessity of the present age.
Here is an illustration:

father, "what does a man mean when

swcred the father briefly.
"But then, what does do him up

The little fellow was silenced for
the time, but, as events proved, he
thought over the subject Soon af-
ter he was taken i'll, and the family
doctor being absent, a strange ply
se;an was summoned. Left alone
with him for few moments, the lit

inquired.

A PERFECT WOMAN.
The Proper Height and Measurement

The greatest and first essential to
physical perfection in woman is a
figure without an angular line. Ma
ture avoids angular lines everywhere,
but in the human figures especially.

at the average height of 5 feet 3
inches to 5 feet 7 inches. She will
weigh from l25 to 40 pounds. y
plumb-linc dropped from point
marked by the tip Of her nose will
touch at point one inch in front of
her great toe. Her shoulders and
her hips, says the Chicago Herald,
will be straight line drawn up and
down. Her waist will taper gradu-
ally to a size on a line drawn from
the outer third of the collarbone to
the hips. Her bust will measure
from % to SO inches, her hips will
measure from 6 to 10 inches more
than this, and her waist will call for
a belt from % to % inches. The
arm of the perfectly formed woman
will end at the waist line, so that
she can rest her elbow ON a table
while standing erect, and her fore
arm should extend to a point per
hitting the fingers to mark point
lust below the middle of the thigh
Her neck and thigh should be Of
about the same circumference. The
calf of her leg and arm should meas
ure about the same. Her Leg
