IN HIS MEMORY.

A Boy,s Rxperience Likely Never 10
 Re Forgotten.
 A pretty incident. a Vienna correspen- dent says, happened in the stay of the emperor and empress of Austria in Swift zsrland recently. The imperial couple went into confeerioner's ct Montrsux to take some refreshment, and the shop and adjoining saloon were filled with thropg of gay and ohattering school girls, quite unconscious of who were observing them.

MEDICAL EXPERT TESTIMONY.
 Medical expert testimony is again on trial in New York in the case of Dr. Buchanan, who is charged with poisoning his wife, Some very learned and famous doctors have been brought forward to make 1t appear that he did poison her, and some equally learned and famous doctors are soon to be brought forward to make it appear that he didn't.
 The whole performance is ghastly and discoursging, ss other similar ones have been. It seems to show that medical ex- pert testimony is for sale to the highest bidder; that from the game set of facts diff ferent doctors, but all profoundly learned and solemnly scientific, can deducs entire ly different conclusions, and this, too, when mans life is at stake, and when the truth ought to be made plain if it can be. But the truth is obscured, and what Is made plain is that the big medical men don't know as much as they are credited with knowing, or as they profess to know, and that they have 8 very earnest contempt for each others knowledge. Perhaps they are all justified in this. The unlesrned and unmediosl public will certainly be justified in thinking they are If they make many more such exhibitions of themselves as they are making in the case now on trial and ss they have made in other notable murder cases, including some in this State.
 h.. he will probably owe a debt of gratitude to the dissgrseing and mutually scornful medical experts. We do not see how a jury in such case can tell what to be- lieve when it sees such learned men testi- flying, for pay, very differently concerning 8 set of facts which their learning Is sup posed to fit them to correctly and conelu
 sively judge. The whole business is wrong,
 and almost if not quite scandalous. If
 medical experts are to continue to deal with mems and women's lives in murder trials there should be @ radical change in the system. There seems to be a crying need for impartial scientific con- missions, whose functions shall be advisory duu cAplhndeoEy Io tno SouIt, 0s oPPoScu | to the custom of experts who are avowedly \ engaged to take one side or the ether. This seems to be the best plan, and yei | such exhibitions ss that TOW going on in | New York are calculated to make one won. der if an impartial and scientific commis' sion could be formed out of experts who
 seem willing to sell their judgment and
 whatever science they may have the credit of to the side that will pay the most for it.

GOOD ROADS.

The consular reports made to the State department concerning the condition of European roads are we'll worth the notice of the people of this country, who are just waking up to the importance and value of good roads.
 The highways of France, Germany, England, Holland and Belgium are far superior to those of the United States. A fair sample of the statements on this point is that of one of the consuls in France. He says: ''The wagon roads of France, always passable and reaching all centers of population, no matter how small, are the chief competitors of the railroads, as means of com munication by water are not numerous" The other point which ought to interest American farmers is the effect which these splendid roads have had on the price of land and on the prosperity of the small landowners. It is asserted that the road system of France has been of far greater value to the country as a means of raising the value of lands and of putting the small peasant proprletors in easy com munication with their markets than have the railroads. It is the opinion of we'll informed Frenchmen who have made a practical study of economic problems that the superb roads of France have been one of the most steady and potent contri- buttons to the material development and marvellous financial elasticity of the ooun- try. The far-reaching and splendidly maintained road system has distinctly favored the success of the small landed proprietors, and in their prosperity and the ensuing distribution of wealth lies the key to the secret of the wonderful financial vitality and solid prosperity of the French nation.
 By and by we shall have good roads in this country and then we shall wonder why we were so foolish and so wasteful as to put up with poor roads so long.

When the emperor and empress had left they were told who they were, and noth- ing could prevent them from running on. into the street to watch them as fhsy walked down the street. The empress had been in the shop several times before, be- cause she relished the contectioner's Scot- tsh shortbresd SO much. After tasting 1t repeatedly she asked the man to let her have the recipe for it. He seemed to hesi- tate before he promised, So Prince LeiGh- tenstein, the equerry, went and assured hin that her majesty would keep the ss- cret, and would not set up In businsss with it. The confeotionsr then wrote 1t out and sent his little boy to Territet with 1t. By some chance the boy, who is eight years old, found his way to the emperor's rooms, and walked in undAunted. The emperor was reading a newspaper with his glasses on, and looked up kindly to ask the boy what 1t vss he wanted. A con- versation enssed, which the boy fully ap- preoiAted. He sfterward ran back to Mon treux as fast as his legs would carry him to tell his father that he had made the per eoaal acquaintance of the emperor of Aus tris.

ESPARTO GRASS.

Esparto grass has recently bee
recommended for introduction int
the United States as . fiber plant
It is q native Of Spain, Portugal
Greece and Northern Africa. It i
not cut, but pulled, sometimes
twice q year. 1t can be grown from
either seeds or divisions of thu
roots. Ten tons Of dry esparto
worth from $50 to $25 per ton, can
under favorable circumstances, bt
obtained from an acre. In Spain,
where now the product amounts to
from 20, 900 to $4,000 tons annu.
ally, It formerly ran to waste o.
was used only as fuel. Now, sucl
is the demand for it, that land con.
sidered valueless few years ago is
worth thousands Of dollars. About
5O,O 900 tons are sent to Great Brit.
ain annually from Spain. In the
latter country it is used in the
manufacture Of ropes, baskets, san
dals, mating, etc., while in Eng
land it Is largely used in making
ropes and paper. Good writing
paper is made from it without the
admixture Of any other material
and the price Of this paper varies
from 5000 to $3.50 per ton. There
is certainly an opening in this coun-
try for some enterprising individuals
to grow this grass.-J. f. J. in
Scientific Anne, lean.
There are thousands OF acres Of
land in st. Tammany Parish now
lying idle, on which this grass could
be grown and prove q
source Of great wealth. The day
will come when profitable crops
will be raised on all of our cleared
pine lands. Upland rice does fairly
we'll, but this fibrous grass might
pay much better, and we hope some
Of our planters will obtain the seed
and give it q trial.

IMMIGRATION CONVENTION
CALLED.
Executive Department,

Executive Department, /
Baton Rouge, Feb. Is, 1898. !
As I have been urged and solic-
tied by many citizens to call . con-
vention for the purpose of discussing
the best methods and most efficient
means Of inducing capital and a
worthy immigration to this State,
and approaching the public and
private advantages to be derived
therefrom
Therefore, l, Murphy j. Foster,
Governor Of the State OF Louisi-
ana, do hereby call an immigration
convention, to meet in the city of
New Orleans on the 2lst day Of
March, 1898; and I urgently re-
quest each parish of the State to
send such number of delegates
thereto, through mass meeting, po-
lice iuries, or otherwise, as may be
deemed best and most expedient.
For varied soils. multiform crops,
mild, equable' and healthful climate,
Louisiana may confidently challenge
comparison with any State in the
Union. Capitalists here will find
safe and remunerative investment
and the worthy immigrants q cordi-
al welcome and attractive home.
The public advantages. but q syn
onym for private interests, derived
from an industrious and frugal inn
migration, are amply illustrated in
the recent history Of the parish of
Calcasieu. In 1880 the assessed
value Of that parish was 81, 1884 $50;
in 1892, So, 457 ,43O. l greatly de-
sire to impress upon our people the
advantages Of inducing intelligent
settlers to take up the vast areas
of magnificent lands now lying fall
low and Astounding in uLjeveloped
riches, and Of the importance Of de-
veloping the material and agricul:
tural possibilities of our State, and
trust that all will actively interest
themselves in this undertaking.
All parties, regardless of trades,
occupations, or professions, are in
directly, if not directly, interested
in the building up and development
OF the States resources by an in
telligent and thrifty immigration
and I earnestly call upon all rail-
roads and industrious enterprises
to lend their cooperation in this
matter.
Given under my signature this
25th day Of February, 1898.

Gen. Beauregard's viii has been
probated. He divides his property
equally between his heirs. After
dispoeing Of the property the tes-
tator instructs his executors to have
his body cremated, provided, how
ever, that there be . crematory in
successful operation in or near
New Orleans at the time of his
death. The General gave As .
reason for wanting his body crema-
ted that he considered cremation
better for the sanitary condition Of
such . climate as Louisiana than
the present mode Of burial. As
there is no crematory anywhere
near New Orleans. this request was
considered void.
