THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
A Grand Celebration at Shady
Grove.


Early risers on the morning Of
the 4th could hear the noise of the
cannon shooting, and it made the
hearts Of citizens feel glad to see
that our National holiday would not
pass unobserved. A large number
of people from here, and from differ
ent parts of the parish, boarded the
steamer Alice Leblanc, enroute for
Shady Grove, there to pass the day
IN various ways of amusements. The
program, as published in this paper
for some weeks past was carried out
in lull. The weather was all that
one could wish for. The Knights
OF Honor have reason to feel proud
over their undertaking, and taking
all into consideration, the days
doings was a complete success.
Music was furnished by our home
band, and the Landry band.
Addresses were made by W. B.
White, Esq, and Will NJ. Hearne.
After the close of the days exer-
cises, the boat wendell its way home,
and thus the 4th of July, 1894, will
pass into history as the best one that
Vermilon parish has enjoyed.
Think well of the Fourth.

A Question of Letters.

Mr.. Labouchere gives publicity to
the grievance of some lady who had
occasion to consult by letter a Lon
don specialist who had several times
attended her. She vas much an
noyed ON hearing a few days later
that in the medico's absence from
home her letters had been opened by
his wife in the ordinary course of
business. Mr.. Labouchere thinks
that doctors have no right to hand
over their correspondence to third
parties, even their yes, whom
their patients may no. ire to take
into their confidence.
Well, there are two sides to the
question, says a London paper. 1t is
quite right hat doctors should be as
inscrutable as the Sphinx with re-
gard to the privacy of their patients
affairs, and if it were known that a
man was addicted to babbling he
would rightly be placed under taboo.
But when a man goes away from
home for a few days, as go he must
occasionally, his letters have to re-
ceive attention.
1t Is quite conceivable that in
urgent the delay in forwarding
a communication to the absentee
might entail serious consequences,
which could be obviated if the letter
were opened ON receipt, and who,
pray, is there more likely to be dis

Wired Steam Pines.

The interesting fact is noted in En-.
gineering of the adoption in the Ital
ian navy of the plan of reinforcing
steam pipes with wire, the practice
consisting in serving the tubes over
with n or more layers of closely
laid metal wire, wound on under ten
sion. Up to about eight inches in di-
ameter drawn tubes are used without
reinforcement, while above this di-
ameter the tubes are made out of
copper sheets by the usual brazing
operation and are then wrapped
round with a close spiral of copper
or delta metal wire.
This method of reinforcement is
only considered applicable to straight
tubes, and accordingly these only
are used, gun metal castings being
employed at the elbows and bends.
The wire is of sufficient section to
carry the full steam pressure indie
pendently of the strength of the
tube, though the latter is made
strong enough to stand the usual hy
draulic test before the wire is put on.
The enforcement is made up with
two or three independent spirals, so
that if n wire breaks the tube Is
still held up to its work by the 9th
ers. The ends are fixed independent
of the flanges.

Save the Mark

The ancient use of a cross instead
of Il signature was universal alike by
those who could and by those who
could not write. 1t was a symbol of
an oath from its earliest associations.
On this account Charles knight, in
his notes on The Pictorial Shake
speare, explains the expression God
save the mark Henry IV) as a form
of ejaculation approaching to the
form of an oath. Kelly, i'll his Com
ments on Scotch Proverbs" observes
that the Scots, when they used to
compare person to person, used the
expression, Save the mark" An.
other explanation of the expression is
that i'll archery when an archer shot
well it was the custom to cry out,
God save the mark"-that is, pre-
vent any one coming after to hit
the same mark and thereby displace
the arrow. Ironically, it was said to
a novice whose arrow struck no
where.-Brooklyn Eagle.

An Old Compliment.

One of the neatest and most adroit
compliments w turned out was
probably that of Cresus to Candy
ses. That harebrained monarch once,
when the Persians and Cresus We're
sitting with him, asked what sort of
a man they thought HIM compared
with his father Cyrus. The Persians,
of course, like good courtiers, replied
that he was better than his father,
for he had all Cyrus possessions and
Egypt and the Vel as well. Thus
spoke the Egyptians. Crusus, how
ever, not being pleased with their
opinion, spoke as follows: Now, to
me, o son of Cyrus, you do not seem
equal to your father, for you have
not such a son as he left behind him
in ou."-Westminster Review.
