Gentlemen; Wishing to tell what Hoods Sar-

about six months old he took a sore mouth.

born unto us. At the age of two months he be-
came afflicted with the same disease. / believed
the boys trouble was constitutional, and not

April Fool Day.

The custom of sending one,on a boot
less errand or otherwise april foolingn
him on the first day of this month is
very ancient; yet it cannot truthfully
be said that anyone is equal to the task
OF tracing it to it's origin. Some anti
quarians profess to believe it is a survi-
val OF the travesty of sending the Sa.
vior hither and thither, first from An
to C%aiaphas and then to PLATE and
Her0d. This opinion is strengthened
by the fact that during the Middle Ages
that very scene in Christ's life was made
the subject of one of the Easter mira
Gle Plays" enacted on the chief streets
OF London and other English cities of
the first class. Even though the above
opinion has received the sanction of
Brande, Moore and Hone, it is not at all
unlikely that it is really a relic of some
old heather festival, such as the Hull
festival of the Hindoos or the Roman
Feast Of Fools.n The custom. what
ever its origin, of playing tricks and
FRANKS of all kinds on the first day of
this month is universal throughout Eu-
rope, and is also practiced in many 9TH
er countries and under various names.
IL Is a curious fact that the HindoO Hnli
festival, where April fool tricks of ali
sorts are played, is held on the night of
the 31st Of March. and the orgies are
not discontinued until sunrise on the
morning of April L.

Alaskan Glaciers.

Of all existing glaciers those of Alas
ka are the most picturesque and inter-
esting. A steamer regularly takes tour
lists from San Francisco and British
Columbia to see these glaciers, and af-
ter coasting among wooded islands and
beneath mountains clad with dense for
ests of pine she comes to anchor in
Glacier Bay in Alaska. Here, right in
front, q wall of ice nearly two miles
long, and several hundred feet high,
and rising in a glittering cliff out of the
waves, marks the end Of the Muir gla-
cier. Every now and then q huge mass
of ice falls away from the front of the
glacier, and. with a laundering roar
comes crashing into the water, raising
foam waves, then, steadying itself, it
floats away as an iceberg into the Pa.
ciic Ocean. The Muir glacier is form
ed by the union Of twenty-six tributary
glaciers, and the united mass of ice
covers 1000 square miles. A little fur
Their to the north is the M%elaspina gla-
cier, lying beneath al grand circle of
snowy peaks, the Hottest of which,
Mount st. Elias, is 1880 feet above the
sea. The Melaspina glacier is a great
sea of ice, formed by the junction of
many glaciers descending from the
mountains. These rivers of ice at their
confluence spread out in one vast unit
ed ice-sheet, the area of which is 1000
square miles.

South American Wheat.

The production of wheat in Argentina
is increasing at a rate that astonishes
the statisticians. The area sown last
year was $1,000 acres, against $780,
800 in 1890 and only 400, 900 in 1880. An
exchange tells of one farm in the pro-
vince Of Buenos Ayres on which &C, 900
acres Of wheat were grown last year.
This is more than double the area of
the celebrated Dalrymple farm in North
Dakota. Some of the English trade pa
pers have referred to the increasing
competition of Argentine wheat as one
of the causes of the very low prices now
being paid for our grain on the eastern
side Of the Atlantic, and anticipate a
ture. They seem to think that this and
other sources Of supply may be counted
on as assuring very cheap bread to the
toilers in the United Kingdom for all
time to come.-Chicago Tribune.

To Editor COURIER, Opelousas, La:
Dear sir:-Gen. ]. B. Gordon, Commanding
United Confederate Veterans, respectfully re-
quests the press, both daily and weekly, of the
whole country to aid the patriotic and benevo-
lent objects of the United Confederate Veterans

of securing impartial history, and to enlist
of the history Of her citizen soldiery the be-
nevolent care through State aid or otherwise
OF disabled Or aged veterans and the widows
and orphans OF our fallen brothers-in-arms;
the care Of the graves of our known and un-
known dead buried at Gettysburg, Fort War

nually decorated, the headstones preserved
and protected, and complete lists of the names
of our dead heroes with the location of their
last resting places furnished to their friends
and relatives through the medium of our
camps, thus rescuing their names from OBJ
livion and handing them down in history the
consideration of the different movements, plans
and means to erect a monument to the memory
of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confeder-
ate States of America, also to aid in building
monuments to other great leaders, soldiers
and sailors of the South to aid in securing a
pension from the States lately composing the
Confederate States for Mrs. Jefferson Davis;
to make such changes in the constitution and
bylaws as experience may suggest, and other
matters of general interest. Very respectfully,
GEO MOoRMAN,
Adjutant General and Chief of Staff.

Pneumatic Tires.

Pneumatic-tired wheels of ordinary
size are now made for use on various
kinds of vehicles. The first vehicles
so equipped appeared in Dublin in the
Fall of 1893-a brougham and a jaunt-
ing car. A jaunting car with pneu-
matte tires made in America has tires
three and a half inches in diameter,
which do not look at all out Of place on
a vehicle of that weight and description.
These tires are inflated at a pressure of
100 pounds to the square inch. Pneu-
matte tires for the various kinds of
vehicles vary in size, weight and cost
according to the weight to be carried
on them. They are essentially a luxury.
Invalid chairs have been equipped with
them, and there has just been ordered
in New York city an ambulance with
pneumatic-tired wheels.

Thos. 5. Isacks, an enterprising business
man of Opelousas, st. Landry parish,
was IN our town asking the signatures
OF the people to a petition the Hon. H.
l.. Garland and others have addressed
to the United States congress asking
that body to pass an act in order to give
them the power to put in locks in the
upper bayou. Teche. The people, as
usual, are enthusiastic over the idea, as
tends to benefit our Teche country and
improve facilities for Transportation.
They are confident that with such men
at the head it will prove a success.

a Our Ticket.

Bastrop Appeal.
Congressman G.. j. Boatner is quoted
by the Washington correspondent Of
the Atlanta Daily Constitution in this
way
Congressman Boatner, of Louisiana,
was frank to say that he thought, in
the face OF the veto, the only safe and
fair course for the democrats in con-
gress is to provide money for the run
ming expenses Of the government and
go home to the people for further in
structions. He believes that the finan-
cial question overshadows all the tariff
reform that is provided in the Wilson
bill and that the real issue Of the COM
ing campaign, so far as democrats are
concerned, is one of decision as to who
ought to make the party policy-the
president or the chosen representatives
| of the people. He is in favor of making
that issue squarely and letting the
home voters say whether they will sus-
tain their congressman, or stand with
the PRECEDENT"
Boatner does not mince things in that
quotation. He talks with the bark on
and to the point. Long ago he has
manifested perfect disgust for Cleve-
lands policy, which is that of old Sher-
maA III uuC "OuCy PlUUlCu. 110 mas
become impatient with the Dictator's
iron hand, and 10Y considers it child's
play, absolute folly, to fritter away
more time in efforts to carry out the
pledges Of the party. He is confident
the people would sustain their chosen
representatives and rebuke the Presi.
dent, as no other President ever was
rebuked, if the question were submit
ted to them.
Mr.. Boatner feels the insult given his
party by the President and he thinks
it time to appeal to the people and have
the Mighty Mugwump properly sat
down on by the sovereign rulers of this
nation. The idea is a god one. As
he says the financial policy Of the party
is now the paramount question before
the American people. Tariff reform is
a humbug compared with the present
congested and concentrated condition
of the finances of our country, and it
has been clearly demonstrated that
Cleveland is opposed to any and ali
legislation which has for its object the
relief of the masses. We heartily Sec
ond Mr.. Boatner's motion to adjourn
and go home and leave this great 1uues
ton, in which the millions of laborinp
people in America are SO vitality con-
cerned, for the voters to decide at the
polls next November. Let them decree
who shall make their laws-the Enorm-
Gus Beef from New York or their elect
