RED RICE.

The New orleans papers are
devoting considerable amount
Of space 10 the subject of
red rice, or Creole rice.
Much is being said about the
alleged inferior quality of this rice,
and in this way great injury is done
this industry. Red rice is getting
to be regarded by strangers as un-
clean and very undesirable food,
when it is a well-known fact that
the contrary is the truth, for it is
undeniably true that red rice is
good, nutritious, palatable food.
Those who have used 1t can bear
testimony to this statement. Speak
ing of this matter, the New York
rice millers, Dan Talmage's Sons,
write the following to a Louisiana
planter:
eve cannot see why the New
Orleans people are SO down upon
and decry red rice. AS a result of
the light esteem in which such is
held by New Orleans, it fails to rea-
lice any decent figure. We can
hardly suppose our milling facilities
in New York are superior to theirs
and yet, we find our output of this
character sells just as easily as the
white and at fairly relative figures,
considering the bad name which the
New Orleans people have given it.
We claim that the Creole rice, i. e.
red rice, is the best rice in the
world, not simply just as good as
the whittier sorts; nor again, that its
relative cheapness should impel Gus
toners from enonomic motives to
give it their preference, but taking
a broad and correct ground. that it
Is lntrinsically the best rice and its
unpopularity a confession of igno-
rance. The intrinsic value of any
bread-stuff should be estimated by
its nutritious properties aud an
analysis some years ago by the gov
eminent chemist at Washington de-
monstrated that Creole or red rice
of Louisiana was far and away
ahead of white rice, domestic or
foreign"

goodly Number of their athletes, and II
is proposed TO authentatively define ar
amateur as follows:
AN amateur is one who has never
competed for any money prize or mon
etary consideration, or for declared
wager or stated bet or has never en-
gagged In, assisted in, or taught any
athletic exercise as a means of pecu-
mary gain, and who has never taken
part in any competition or public ex-
hibition with anyone who Is not an
amateur"
This is a very comprehensive defini-
ton, / wonder how many there are of
the noted amateur athletes of America
who can stand this test. No man who
can not Is really an amateur. AS a
matter of fact we have three sorts of
athletes in this country. The open and
avowed professionals, the semi -profes-
sionals and the genuine amateurs. The
latter have to contend against the rec
ords and competitions OF the semi
professionals. This is an injustice of
the most fragrant character. Young
boys and young men who are in ath-
letics merely through a desire to i'm
prove their physical condition and be-
cause of their love OF sport should not
be opposed by men who make a busi-
ness OF athletics and devote their
whole time to Ii.

claims that the second race should

claim was investigated at the time by

and IL was found that the "fouling"
had no bearing on the result; that the
tiny boats had hardly steerage way at
the turn. The race was to determine
which was the speedier boat. This the
American boat was most conclusively
proved to be: nevertheless, Mr.. Brand

American of a generation ago. Then il

lect at the expense of physique, and
men with sound minds in sound bodies

typical Uncle Sam caricatures and
you Will get an idea of the educated
ante-bellum American. In those days
athletics were thought to be only for
the rough and the tough. and the man
who frequented gymnasiums incurred
something of the reputation of a bad
man. Indeed there were very few
gymnasiums for him TO frequent, and
those that existed were mainly kept by
retired boxers and prize fighters. There
were few in New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore. Pittsburg. Cincin-
natl. Chicago. st. Louis, New Orleans
and other large cities, but in lesser
towns they were as rare as hens teeth.
The civil war. however gave our
people. both north and south, a taste
of outdoor life and a fondness for IL

from their ordinary avocations more

of them city and town bred, used TO

hardships of the camp and the march,
and the perils OF the battlefield and
more died of hardship than fell by the
sword. When the war was ended half
of those who returned had uncon-
sciously become athletes. Their open
air life had made athletes of them
and they soon took the liveliest in ter
est in our outdoor sports.
To base ball they turned with the
greatest interest. When the famous

The New school Law.

The following is synopsis of the new school law which, is now in force. The man feature of it is the provision against neopolism, which has been the curse of many schools:
 The trustees are empowered to em- plOy, under written contract, teach CTS. janitors and other employees of tine school; to fix and order paid their com pensation.
 Boards of trustees may, at any time after the annual school election and qualification of the new members oj the board, enter into contract with teachers, janilors and other employees of the school, for the next succeeding year, provided, that no relation of any trustee shall be employed in the dis. trict wherein he is trustee without the unanimous consent of the trustees.
 Paragraph 1522, Revised Statutes, has been amended so us to read April where the word July appears, and March where the word June appears, provided. that for the year 1895, the election of trustee shall take place within thirty days after this act shall become Il law.
 No trustee, elected under the pro. vision of this act shall enter into the duties of his office until his predecessor shall have served out the full term of his office now fixed by law.

SEVERAL precipitous public men are advocating the annexation of Cuba. The United States does not want it. The people and customs of the little island are directly sntagouistic to those of this country, and union would only result in eternal discord. The benefits to be gained are too small to make any concessions, and not large enough to warrant political imbroglio. If this country does any thing. it should be the extension of all possible legitimate aid in placing Cuba on an independent basis.
