Successful Sulphur Mining.

For many years various companies
have endeavored to operate the sulphur
mines situated about 12 miles west of
Lake Charles, but it remained for Mr..
Frasch, of Cleveland. o., to invent a
process that does SO successfully. After
months of preparation, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Hoffman, an employe of
the Standard Oil Co.. the attempt to
mine sulphur was made and success be-
yond expectations was the result. Hot
water was poured into the main, which
melts the sulphur, and is pumped in
molten state. This is another resource
of Calcasieu parish that is unlimited.
and when the mine is operated, as it
will be without delay, it will add ma
terially to its wealth. Lands in the
vicinity of Sulphur City have risen in
price astonishingly of late. Great ex-
element prevails, though Lake Charles
is accustomed to great strides of prog

Tho Peasant Emperor.

1t is said that Czar Alexander wish
es to be handed down to posterity as
1.-The Peasant Emperor" In the
course OF conversation with some
of his courtiers the other day, one
of them said that he ought to be
known as Alexander the just"
Mop exclaimed the czar, II am
and shall remain the peasant emper-
or. Some of my nobility style me so
in derision, scoffing at my affection
for the moujik, but accept the
title as an honor. I have tried to
procure for the humble means OF
livelihood, and this, I think, is the
best and only means of keeping the
world going. After all, I believe,
that only two men have really known
what socialism is-Henry w, who
Crealned of giving every peasant la
poui au pot, and perhaps myself,
whose greatest ambition is to save
the Russian peasant from dying OF
hunger; for when the people under
stand that they run no danger OF
starvation, they begin to bless God
and end by loving their sovereign,
who represents him on earth. I am
not among those who believe that
the only way of ruling easily is to
render people powerless by privation
and fear of the morrow, and my
greatest ambition is to deserve to
bear to the last the title of the Peas

The Eggs a Grasshopper Lays.

How many eggs does grasshopper
lay? Mahomet, according to the
Khalif Omar, said, when these insects
fell upon him, that he could read upon
their wings the words, "We are the le-
gions of God, and we bear ninety-nine
eggs. When we produce hundred
we shall devour the world" In pa
per read before the Paris Academy Of
Sciences, M. Kunckel d'Herculai says
that Mahomet was wrong in supposing
shat the locust laid exactly ninety-nine
eggs at time, although he was quite
right in attributing to it extraordinary
fecundity. NJ. Kunckel has been
carefully watching some locusts for
months, and he finds that one of these
insects viii lay as many as from 500
to 900 eggs during season of from
ten to eleven months. He points out
that if the French government wishes
10 get rid Of the locust plague from
which Algeria suffers, it is particularly
advisable to kill the insects just before
the season when their eggs are laid

A Moving Mountain.

It has been known for many years
that an enormous mass Of rock on the
Cascades of the Columbia River in
Oregon, large enough to te !dignifed
with the name of mountain; is slowly
changing position. We translate the
following description Of the phenome-
non from Cosmos, Paris. 'sIt consists
of o ridge of brown basalt with three
submits; 1O-to IL kilofheters long and
rising about 600 meters above the level
of the river. The idea that this mass
is in movement is certainly the last
that would occtir to the traveller pass
ing it, and nevertheless nothing is
more certain the whole mass is being
displaced slowly; bit without paase,
descending toward the river and show
ing an intention of dnmming 1t some
day or other; and so offo1ming Q great
lake extending from the Cascades to
the Dalles. In this movement of trans
lation and descent it has ALREADY sub
merged part of the forests that line its
base; the engineers Of the railway that
skirts the mass have proved that the
line is continually pushed toward the
river and that in several years it has
been moved two and one-half to three
meters. Biologists attribute the
phenomenon to the fact that the basalt
that forms the nucleus of the mass
rests on soft strata through which
water constantly percolates, thus
swapping the mountain under its base.
They think, also, that these strata.
even without the aid of water, would
probably give away little by little,
beneath the mass with which they are
loaded"

IMPRESSIONS.

The touch OF a hand, the glance of an eye,
Or word exchanged with passer-by;
A glimpse of face in the crowded street
And afterward life is incomplete;
Aplcture painted with honest zeal
And we lose the old for the new ideal;
A chance remark, or songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
An angered word from our lips Is sped
Or tender word Is left unsaid,
And one there is who, his whole life long
Shall cherish the brand of burLing wrong
A line that stares up from m open page
A cynic smile from the lips OF age,
A glimpse of loving seen in o play,
And the dreams Of our youth are swept
away.
A friendly smile and loves emberlng spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the dark
A whispered "Be brave" to our fellow .ner
And they pick up the thread OF hope again
Thus never an act or word or thought
But that with unguessed importance j:
fraught,
For small things build up to eternity,
And blazon the ways for destiny.

Girls Who Attract Men.

The girlswho attract the best men are
almost always a source of surprise to
their feminine friends, who are often
lost in wonder as to why so many more
patent charms should have been pass
ed ever in such sections. 1t is the lit
tie mouse of woman, the shrinking,
shy creature left in the background
by her bolder sisters, we constantly
see brought to the front by the man
who has. won her love. And men pre-
fer them to any such coquettish inyi-
tation as that extended by Mrs. Bond
of the nursery rhyme to her ducks,
when decoying them to come and be
killed, the uncertainty hanging around
being to whom they have to lite.
Every mans ideal of wife-I mean
the normal, honest citizen of OUR re-
public, who looks forward to making
of himself and his line, stones to sup
port its bulwark-is girl who may be
pretty, who might be brilliant, but
who must be good. He also recog-
nizes instinctively that her grace
should not be too costly to wear every
day. That she shall be cheerful of
temper, inclined to take short views
of human infrmity, and sound of
health, he Is apt gravely to consider,
within himself, as essential. If all
those who, before marrying, omitted
to think about those things had done
so, it is possible we should hear less
today of the incompatibility of man
and woman.-Ladies' Home Journal.
