with which to put polish on tan or

their customers agree with them.
Some northern visitors to New Or
leans brought the discovery to this
city recently, and have satisfied their
friends it is worth knowing. All that
is necessary is to rub the shoe well
with the inside of the banana skin,
and.then give the shoe good rubbing

THE sYLPH-LIKE WOMAN.

In order to give herself the appear.
ence of gracious roundness of figure,
the thin woman should have skirts that
fare as much as fashion will permit
Scant skirts make her look like an
exclamation point She should wear
bodices shirred at the neck, and at
the waist, allowing fullness over the
bust. The sleeves should be full to
point below the elbow in order to
avoid display of sharpness at the
crucial point. If wrist bones are pro-
minent long cuffs or frills of lace
should help to conceal the painful fact.
Collars should not be plain, but they
should be gathered or laid in folds.

Agricultural society Meets.

The North Louisiana Agricultural
Society held its regular monthly meet
ing at Calhoun. last Thursday, at the
experiment station. Vice-P President ].
NJ. White called the meeting to order
ct IL m. The question for discussion,
I'm the Lighto Past Experience What
Shall be Our Policy for the Coming

j. G. Leo read an able paper sent by
Capt. 81. W. Mcleod. Prof. W. G.
Stubs made an interesting talk con-
tanning much wise council for the farm
ers of North Louisiana. Prof. Stubs
was also also asked to describe the
splendid exhibit sent by Louisiana to
the Atlanta Exposition. Mr.. K. L..
Gladney, of Morehouse parish, being
called upon, spoke of his recent depart
u-e from the general line of farmers in
North Louisiana, in that he had grown
about 10000 pounds of tobacco the
past year. Mr.. Gladney said he had
not yet sold his tobacco, but he be-
heved there would soon be home mar
ket established by the erection of fac
tories. He believed that the quantity
and quality of tobacco that can be
grown per acre in Louisiana is unex-
celled by any other State. He expects
to grow another large crop in 1896.
Major Lee introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the members of the
North Louisiana Agricultural Society
hail with interest and delight the es-
adjustment, in New Orleans, of q re-
liable and progressive agricultural pa

Good Cane weather.

Planters near Thibodaux have had
excellent weather for planting cane, of
which the seed is reported to be extra
ordinarily fine. Not having had any
heavy raintalls the ground is light and
in good condition. A large quantity
of the sugar manufactured from the
crop of 1895 is yet on the plantations,
while owners calmly watch the steady

is entered upon with vIgor and earnest

THE WEARING OF SHOULDER
STRAPS.

"a number of women have hopeless
" deformed their shoulders by the
wearing of shoulder-straps, said ply
steal culture enthusiast the other day,
tc a class of ladies'. ''The weight of
the skirts on the straps has worn lit
tie burrows in the heavy muscles of
the shoulders. Just notice the shape
of women who wear narrow straps.
OF course, 1t is not observable when
they are dressed in ordinary costume,
but in evenlng-dress can pick out ev-
cry one In the room who is in the habit
Of wearing straps.
The proper thing is fitted waist
with heavy material set in around the
arm-holes and down the sides as stays
or Strengthening pieces. To these are
attached the buttons or hooks that
sustain the weight Of the skirts and
hose.
1T is absolute suicide to hitch these
things upon the ordinary corset. That
throws the whole of the weight upon
the body below the waist and is the
cause Of more distress than one can
well imagine. There are great many
people who could not be induced to
put shoulder-straps on growing child
rem: indeed, the waist is in every res
pect more desirable. 1t need not be
high In the neck. but should cover the
curve Of the shoulders so that the
weight of the garments may rest even
ly over them.
'The physical culturist has wide
field, and the time is coming when
the possibility Of developing the figure
of child will be studied as carefully
as the development of the mind"

CIaremont Boy Commits Suicide.

Alger Vincent Allen of Claremont, a
student at Boston University law school,
was found dead Friday in room at Brig
hams hotel, Boston, last Saturday. He
had committed suicide by taking morphine.
1t was the tragic climax of romantic
honeymoon of less than week.
Regret because of his marriage is said
to have been the cause of Aliens taking
his own life. He came of highly
respected family, his father, Judge w. ID.
II. Allen, having for many years been
prominent member of the New Hampshire
bar, at his death, three years ago, being a
member of the supreme bench of the Gran
tie state. Aliens bride was Gertrude
Dubois, a woman well known to the Bos-
ton police. They were married February
go by Sidney Lawrence at his matrimonial
bureau, No. 1880 Washington street.
Young Allen graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1898. He was a member of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and ranked
well as a student while in college.

A CREDITABLE RESPONSE.
As to the Electric Street Railway.

To the inquiries of persons as to what
they would do to aid the proposed street
railway from this village to Saxtons River,
there has been quick and generous
response. Some 40 people have verbally
indicated the amount of stock they would
take to aid an enterprise which it is
believed will prove of much advantage to
the business and social interests of both
villages and to the whole town. More
than 20 shares have been taken by as many
Individuals a few take one to five and two
take ten each, and it has been indicated
by one of the latter that he will 60 further.
This is the popular subscription and
response toward the project, and which so
well indicates that if the present effort
should not succeed, it will not be the fault
of the people. All classes are represented
in the subscriptions, workingmen, carpen-
tiers, builders, merchants, clerks, clergy
men, professional men, etc. They have
responded largely as matter of generous
public spirit, and it is special credit to
them and our town. To complete this
movement 36 shares are still needed.
They are 800 a share. Shall we have
them?
With this list completed it is hoped that
other parties of abundant means will come
forward and assume the remaining three
fourths necessary to the success Of a
scheme of so much convenience, and which
together with the paving Of the square and
erection of new school building the COM
ing season, will create a business activity
not seen in our town since the early days
of the pulp mills when more than 10 teams
loaded with poplar were counted on the
line between this place and Saxtons River
at one time.
