GARBAGE.
Its Disposal a Most Important CUES
ton to Every Large City--Curios-
tiles Of the Dumps-..i he Thou
sand and One Things That
Go to Make Tn Garbage,

If the street cleaning and garbage collect
ing departemnt of any large city was to stop
work for week, disease and pestilence of
the most malignant type would result. To
a person who has never seen them, the gar
bage dumps of New York are most in
tefeSting and instructive sight. Day after
day, month i'll and month out, with the reg
u1arity of clockwork, carts loaded with all
manner of refuse drive up, and their con-
tents are shot or dumped into the already
huge piles of filth and refuse waiting to be
loaded onto scows and towed away, to be
dumped into ocean.
In our bodies are the lungs, heart, stom-
ach, bowels, brain, liver, nerves, spleen, kid
neys, bones, muscles, tendons, glands, ducts,
skin, bladder, mucous membrane, hair, teeth,
nails, tongue, eyes, etc.
All these organs and tissues are inhabi-
tants of our body. All must be fed and
nourished. Each takes something different
from the blood to feed upon and each casts
the streets of the body-the blood vessels.
Like Venice, the streets of the body are
waterways, and instead of sweeping them
we must purify them by filtration.
Every one of these inhabitants of our
body, on the health of which our health and
vigof depend, must eat, must cast out their
resulting filth as well as the waste products
produced by the wear and tear of our regu-
lar work.
:Our blood, then, contains not only the
food for our organs and tissues, but their
digesting the food we eat and getting it ready
to nourish these organs and tissues leaves
behind poisons and impurities that also foul
the blood.
How does the body cleanse itself?
At the dumps. There are scayengersin our
body as well as in our city. Every particle
of waste, poison and refuse is quickly p licked
up and swept along by the rapidly moving
blood and is carried to the ''dumps'' were
it is cast out.
The kidneys are the ssdumps'' of the hu-
man body. On their activity and labor,
minute by minute, day and night, never
resting, never sleeping, never idling, de-
ponds the health and vigor; in short, the
life of every organ and tissue in the body.
1T they become weak, sick OF diseased and
fail to do their work or do it only partial
ly, every organ and tissue in the body feels
The kidneys must be kept healthy, active
and strong-in perfect working order.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills not only
make them healthy, but keep them healthy.

this.
They are like an extra force of fresh, ac-

extra work soon recover their strength, and
activity.

sixth battalion Encampment.

The Sixth Battalion, First Brigade,
Louisians National Guard, has gone
into camp for ten days at Vaudeville,
which resort was selected by the COM
mand for the place of their annual en-
campment. After casting around for
some agreeable location where they
could go into active duty and spend
their time advantageously, they decided
after much consideration that the little
burg across Lake Pontchartrain pos
sessed all the requisites for such an en-
campment. and the proposition to
stretch their tents in this spot was
greeted with enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the command. In years past
Vaudeville has often been the scene OF
such encampments by the members OF
the National Guard from New Orleans,
and the bright recollections of these
former stays predicts thorough sue
cess for the encampment of the Sixth
Battalion. The Sixth Battalion is a
fine body of men, and numbers about
300, although but seventy-fve were in
line when they left.

Big Fire at Galveston.

Galveston, Tex, had a $3.50, 900 fire
Thursday afternoon. The Mallory line
she'd extending from pier "a to pier %
burned, together with contents. A
train of twenty six empty cars on the
track was consumed. The fire started
at the foot of Twenty fifth street and
spread in both directions. The fremen
could make no Roadway and the flames
licked up everything in reach. The
sheds were owned by the Mallory line
but the docks burned were the proper
ty OF the wharf company. In the
main shed was stored 5000 bales OF
jute and large amount Of bagging,
ties and general merchandise. All the
sheds were frame. Spontaneous COM
bustion is given as the cause of the fire.
Smoke was seen issuing from the jute
and warehouse and soon the jute burst
into flames and burned like finder.
The secretary of the wharf company
says the wharyes and sheds will be re-
built at once.

Caught I'm the Act.

At IL o'clock Sunday night Gretna
was thrown into fever of excitement
by the arrest of James Whitesides,
whom it is believed had entered Joe
Hinderling's residence for the purpose
of destroying both this building and
the one adjoining, which is occupied
as first justice court. The man was
caught in the act of striking the
matches. The noise aroused the oc-
cupants of the dwelling, and White
sides was seized by Mr.. Hinderling's
son. The police were then notified
and Special Officers Keegan and VOL
lers arrested him. His brother, Will
liam Whltesides, deputy sheriff and
iailer of Gretna, hearing that his
brother might be lynched, asked that
he might be locked up in the parish
prison. His request was granted as it
was considered that he would be better
protected at the parish prison should a
mob be organized. After the police
had locked up Whitesides, Sergt.
Langley learned that Whitesides to-
gether with gang had been acting in
an outrageous manner all evening in
Gretna, and with his men undertook
to arrest them. They have SO far ar
rested Thomas Fox and are now
searching for the others.

The age Of trees, provided these
reach exceptional dimensions, is sub
ject upon which fancy delights to ex-
ercise itself, and there is no traveller.
says The Revue Scientifque, to whom
innkeepers, guides and Stage coach
guards have not narrated extraordi-
nary things about the age Of trees that
were little out Of common as regards
size. From this point OF view It Is Of
interest to call attention to the conclu-
sions Of Mr.. Gericke, German fores-
ter, who asserts that the oldest trees In
Germany, Of which the age has been as
eertained with certainty, are not more
than 500 or $40 years old. 1t is the con-
ifers that appear to reach the most ad-
vanced age. Among the group Of trees
with deciduous leaves, the oak appears
to attain the greatest longevity. Mr..
Gericke mentions one at Aschaffen-
burg 410 years OF age. We know to a
certainty Of beeches 245 years old, Of
blrches Of from 100 to 200 years, Of
poplars of go years, Of ashes of ITO
years, Of elms of 100 years, and Of al
ders Of 145 years. We are here far from
the 500, 1000 and 1900 years that le-
gend often attributes to trees; but it
must not be concluded that trees OF
1,500 years cannot exist. What cannot
exist is the authentic proof of their
age as long as they remain standing;
and the estimation Of their age by
counting their annual rings after they
are felled leaves the door open to Sc
rious errors.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS WITH CO.
OPERATIVE CREAMERIEs.

The co-operatlye creamery In our
state has come to stay, writes Fl. s.
Bell, OF Wiseonin- Though but recently
introduced, 1t Is well rooted, and is now
experiencing vigorous growth. In es-
nabiishing cooperative sys sem, State
laws governing corporations are al
ways followed. This necessitates the
selection Of board of directors, In
which is contained the president, sec
retary and treasurer. Instead Of the
old-time combatiye committee on sales,
the hiring committee and the purchas-
ing committee, with their eccentricities
and jealousies, the executive power is
placed In the hands of one person, APP
pointed by the directors and called the
manager.
The manager purchases all supplies,
employs the buttermaker and all neces-
sary assistants, makes ell sales, col
lccts all bills-turning the proceeds into
the hands Of the treasurer-settles all
differences between patrons and the
company; and, in fact, is complete mas
ter OF the situation, subject only to the
dictates of the board OF directors. II
the manager employs q competent but
terrnaker, and gives him proper main
tenance, he can hardly fail to succeed
In the business. Among the qualifica-
tons Of a competent buttermaker are
punctuality, cleanliness, order, perfect
knowledge OF the chemical properties
Of milk and butter, thorough under
standing Of machinery, a familiarity
with the system Of testing milk, and a
complete knowledge Of the chemistry
used In the operation. With all these
qualifications, the buttermaker must
have the support of the manager. His
supplies furnished must be Of the very
best: quality should be the first requis-
fte, and price secondary eonsidera-
don. The manager should see that the
milk furnished Is properly cared for
from the tine it Is drawn until It
reaches the creamery.
An important bylaw usually found
IN the cooperative creameries of Wis
consin, requires the manager to visit
all barns Of patrons, inspect the method
of caring for milk, and see that cows
have access to nothing but pure water.
He can then reject milk Improperly
treated, or from cows drinking impure
water. One great feature Of the coop
erative system in Wisconsin which
tends to give the patrons sense of con-
fidence, is the monthly statement is
sued by the secretary. giving an item
lied account OF the business of the
creamery for the preceding month. ac-

Rice Crop I'm a Bad WAY.

1t is said the rice crop throughout
Calcasieu parish is in desperate con.
dition, and it grows worse by the hour,
except the small portion irrigated by
means of pumps and few localities
where enough rain fell to food the
crop. Many fields would burn if fired.
The late rice would make something
even at this late hour il rain fell. The
other crops, such as corn, peas, sweet
potatoes and melons, do not suffer as
much as rice. Although rain is badly
needed all over the parish, these crops
are not lost yet. AS rice is the main
crop of the parish, its failure viii
bring disaster not only upon the rice
planters, but upon the merchants as
well.

The fourth of July was celebrated in
New Orleans in fashion that left no
doubt that, though each advancing
year puts them farther away from the
stirring incidents that mark the day,
the patriotic spirit of the community
is yet undiminished. The usual decora-
tions of flags and bunting we're about
as plentiful as ever, and the closing of
most business places gave the populace
a chance to go q holiday making as
they pleased, and they did it in good
earnest. Firecrackers, bombs and toy
cannon, manipulated mostly by the
fourth of July small boy, exploded at
a lively rate all through the day and
kept the older generation reminded of
the occasion. The older people cele-
brated. too, in their own ways. There
was feftival of the Letter Carriers
Association, part of which took place
at the fair grounds. The Patriotic Or
der Sons of America did their celebrat-
ing at Spanish Fort, where there were
speeches, music, dancing and refresh
ments. Audubon Park presented
another scene, and, indeed all the re-
sorts about the city, especially those
at the lakeside, were peopled with holi-
day makers. At noon q national salute
of forty-five guns was fred by detach-
ment from Battery b, Battalion Louis
lana Field Artillery. This is the first
salute of forty-five guns that has been
fred in these United States, and the
forty-ffth gun is in honor of Utah, the

steel I'm the blade IL solid at the edge.
and IA now laid on both sides; indeed.
al steel is now made as cheaply as
iron. practically, there is no reason why
the whole blade should not be Of steel,
and this is now the case, for 1t Is Tar
cheaper to roll the blade out Of a bar
of the steel at ono operation than to
take more time to weld In narrow
strip to make the edge. Labor is more
costly than the material now, and so
scythes are made wholly Of steel. In
stoning a ,scythe, the stone should be
held nat to the blade on the nat side,
ana on a bevel on the bevel side, just
the same as the grindstone is used.
