Borrow as a Missionary.

Strangest of all missionaries was
George Borrow. He had a genius
for language, gift of style and an
ineradicable love for horse dealing.
Like Carlyle, he had a singular pow
er of reading the inner man from
his outward garb and bearing. Like
Carlyle, too, with all his literary
gifts and attainments, Borrow was
at heart the peasant adventurer-of
the eastern counties-and was new
er really at ease in higher society.
His theology never sits easily upon
him. In his missionary work he has
the oldest way of persuading him-
self that it is his duty to follow his
widest caprices, as when he makes
a journey to Cape Finisterre. which
he longed to see, to leave there a
single copy of the New Testament,
and he gives thanks most piously
for his neighbors' misfortunes.

Famous Baths.

Marie Antoinette's bath, which
was prescribed by her doctor, was a
compound of aromatic herbs mixed
with a handful of salt. She took it
cold in summer and tepid in winter.
Later on Nine. Tallien had brought
every morning to her house 20
pounds of strawberries and two
pounds of raspberries, which were
mashed in her bath of warm milk
and water. Another preparation,
used by the eastern women, is CON-
posed of barley, rice, HORACE, thyme
and marjoram boiled together and
then thrown into the water.

The Well to Do Choctaw.

There are few sections in the
world that can say no pauper is a
member of it, said G. R. Jackson,
national secretary of the Choctaw
Nation, "but I have the honor to
represent just such a people. There
are no poor Choctaws. Every man
has land, and, if he has not money,
he at least has the United States
government as a creditor, and those
debts will be paid. Even a better
scheme of paternal government than
that of Bellamy, if it was adorned
with modern art and refinement,
can be found in that of the Choc-
taws. While there are no destitute,
there are some criminals, most of
whom are renegade whites, but it is
a remarkable fact that when a Choc-
taw violates the law and is sentenced
to death such are his honor and nev-
erence for authority that he can be
released upon his own recognizance
with safety. He will return at the
time appointed for execution. There
are many things about the tribal
government that would be valuable
if properly studied and understood.
Mr.. Jackson, who is a full blooded
Choctaw, is graduate of Roanoke
college and represents his nation as
to its important interests at Wash
ington. He is dignified, courteous
gentleman, who stands high in In

RoBEL1NE, La, Sept. 10, 1896.
To the Editor of the Progress. ia.
Dear Slr-Knowipg that you q
friend of the farmers and that you
were once member of that grand
organization, the Farmers Union, ]
take pleasure in informing you that
there is fine prospect for a com.
p.ete reorganization OF that order in
this STATE. You know that there
was never any organization that
did more to educate aud elevate the
people more than the Union did while
it was in the ascendency in this
country. The farmers were started
out in the study of their interests,
and if designing men had not used it
to forward their own selfish purposes.
1t might now be exerting it's benign
iofiuence 10 our country. NJ or
ganization among mankind had a
broader charity or a higher aim in
temporal affairs, and its influence
will be felt as long as time )asts.l At
the late meeting of The State Union
it was determined to rebuild and
start this order again on its mission of
human improvement. Owing to the
poverty of our people they have been
unable to keep the tinanaeil branc
OF the order up; SO in reorganlza-
ton provision is made to take back
all the good material OF the member
ship on an equality. Many good
member. were suspended two OF.
three years ago on account of their
having failed to pay their dues. Many
Unions have paid no dues to parish
or State for over year, so to rein
state all those according to the con-
stitution would require a considera-
bic outlay Of money. The State
Union at It's last meeting decided
unanimously that the order must be
rebuilt and to do this successfully all
past dues must be RENTED. was
honored by being made Lecturer and
Grand Organizer, and was instructed
to 60 to work and reorganize rs i'll
the Union had never existed, charg-
ing an initiation fee Of 80 cents. |
This permits all old members to come
into the organization with but little
outlay. Then after the organization
IS completed each sub Union has
right to fix the dues It's members must
pay. 1t is required that each parish
Union pay into the State treasury
- 30 per month, with no other dues
