The Cajiens of Louisiana.
From the Aflnntn Constitution.


The term "cajien" is a corruption OF
Acadian, and is applied to an illiterate
class of people living on the low prai-
rles of southern Louisiana. These peo-
pie are descendants of the old Acadians
who formerly dwelt in Acadia, a county
of the Province of Quebec But after
the conquest of Canada by the English
in 1853, the Acadians were, by the stern
decree of George III, rudely forced to
leave their quiet homes forever. Many
of them found their way to the grassy
prairies Of our fair state and engaged
in the rearing of long-horned cattle and
bucking ponies.
The language originally spoken by
these people was European French.
But during one hundred and thirty-six
years of isolation and illiteracy their
speech has degenerated into a mere pa
tots, bearing about the same relation to
the French language as the negro dia-
lect does to English.

berless fishes and other living creatures
that fill the sea- Apparently they do
not rise to the surface, or they would be
observed more often. Nor can they
sink to the bottom, for in the profound
er depths putrefaction cannot take
place. and fish that once reached
''those calm and chill abysses" would
remain unchanged until the end of
time. 1t is quite certain, however, that
the basins of the ocean are not covered
with vast accumulation of lifeless
bodies, and the explanation of this mys-
ferrous disappearance is that those fish
which are not eaten when they are
alive are devoured before they can com

| a Phosphate Baking Powder Theory That
is Dangerous.
That is dangerous proposition, put
forth by the manufacturers of some of
the proprietary articles of food, that
their products possess a superior whole
someness because they contain drug
of some particular medicinal property.
| Phosphates, alum, lime, arsenic, cal
omel, etc., have their places as specifics
| for different diseases, and are invalu-
| able medical remedies, each in its place.
The physician, however, who should
prescribe either of them three times
a day to man, woman and child, sick or
well, because it was a remedy for some
certain disease, would receive no favor
in any community.
No one will controvert this state
ment; yet we find manufacturers of
| phosphate baking powders claiming
hygienic virtue for their goods because

| ing them Ga cheap substitute for cream

dead animals) into the food, although
we'll aware, as they must be, of the
fact that with the constant use of such
article this drug must pass into our
systems daily, irrespective of our phys
ical conditions or requirements or
whether or not we may be suffering
from some ailment wherein the use of
such drug would be positively detri-
mental. Phosphates are useful medical
ments in certain diseases; but they
should no more be taken indiscrimin-
ately day after day, and without the
prescription of physician, than ar
senic, aconite or calomel; indeed, there
are conditions of the system, particular
ly with women, when the prudent ply
stefan would not permit the use of lime
phosphates even as medicine.
The object of baking powders is not
to provide the body with medicine,
but simply to vesticulate or make light
the mixture of flour, so as to render
it when baked easy of mastication and
perfectly digestible. Experts in the
business have worked to perfect an ar

without changing the properties or con-
stituents of the flour. When this has
been done the perfect leavening agent
