IDEAL HoMEMAKER.

An ideal homemaker who has made
domestic service efficient and attrac-
tlve--and is, therefore, o good mis-
tress'and seldom without a good maid
Says she has brought about this
state of affairs in her household by
being patient, kind and systematic-
by never accusing those in her en-
Ploy, unless she has proof of guilt,
and by never reprovlng them when
angry or in the presence of others.
This model mistress further says that
IN dealing with the housemaid finer
article of patience is required than
the legendary patience that set upon
monument, for in this case you must
smile, not at grief, but at many errors
and often gross carelessness or worse.
Our just and practical friend attaches
much blame to the women who talk
about the faults of their maids TO tho
nelghbors instead of talking more to
the maids.-New York Telegram.

SULPHUR FOR SHEEP.

Medicine is not good for sheep; an
ounce of prevention is worth cart
load of it. Sheep need sulphur, but
in the food, aud not in the digestible
form of the common mineral, which
is too laxative. Turnips and cabbage
contain large quantity of sulphur,
and is is best to give it in this way.
A little sulphur mixed with the salt
given occasionally will do no harm,
but much harm may be done by an
excess of it, the sheep taking cold,
coughing and running at the nose

THE Cheapest AND BEST NEAT.

Young animals always gain most
from feed. and their meat is also gen.
orally the best and highest in price.
An old farmer who used to buy cattle
to feed every fall once remarked that
he never lost anything by feeding a
young animal aud never made any
thing by feeding an old one. Up to
re years old, part of the feed goes
to make growth, and this gain is al
ways greater in proportion than the
gain OF mature animals while they are
being fattened. So far rs different
kinds of animals are concerned, meat
is much the most cheaply made in the
form of pork. The hog has less pro-
portion OF waste than my other do
mestic animal. Ii is fed mainly on
concentrated food. Therefore its
stomach is small. Its legs are shorter
than those of other animals, and even
to its feet they make good eating
when cooked. Boston Cultivator.

One Thing Leo Out.

In acrobatic, gymnastic and athletic train
ing one thing seems to be entirely left out; q
thing which, II practiced, might prevent
many serious consequences and thereby be-
come the useful part OF training. How to
fall down easily and gracefully, with tho
least amount of resistance by the muscles,
might be made a fine art. Why not adopt
slide and practice fcet-sippnS with these
objects In view. Everybody knows that nj
This season the worst injuries result from not
knowing how to fall There seems TO DO
nearly always a complication OF injury in
every fall, such as sprain, bruise and often
broken limbs. 1t is true that for all these
mishaps, either separately or in complicated
form, and especially for sprains. 81. jacobs
Oh Is the best known and surcst cure. Srcak-

S0UTHERS STATE SETTLERS
CONVENTION.

We-are in receipt ofa letter from
the Secretary of the proposed Con-
vention to be held at Pinebluffe,
North Carolina, asking us to notice
editorially that enterprise.
The Convention is to be CONF
posed of delegates from every
Southern State, and the purpose of
it is to meet Northern and West
Iern men whose object is TO settle
large colonies from the North and
West in the South.
The tickets from Atlanta by the
stSeaboard Air Line" will be put
on sale May Bird and 4th at three
dollars for the round trip, good
until the f4th May.
We suppose that special rates
can be had from vicksburg to At
lanta at about the same price.
The Convention is to meet on
May 9Th, and it is highly import-
ant that a representative man
from Tensas should be ON hand to
assist in bringing our country to
the noticetof Northern and West
ern settlers.
We trust that some public spir-
tied, citizen will consent to repre-
sent Tensas parish and upon hear
ing from any one to that effect, We
will get the proper credentials
from the Hon. John Murdoch,
President of the. Police jury
The trip viii be a delightful one,
and should be made at very little
expense. Let us hear from the
public spirited eitizen who will
consent to go. The GAZETTE nomi-

IRON BRIDGES VS.. WOODEN
BRIDGES.

The iron bridge erected over
Phelps Bayou near Newellton is a
beautiful structure and acceptable
In every way to the community
which uses it.
Now that the Parish of Tensas
is making application to- the Leg
isIature to have a bill passed au-
thorizing it to issue bonds to take
up the Indebtedness to Messrs.
Britton & Koontz and Mr.. Joseph
Moore, the policy is being dis
cussed of substituting iron bridges
over all Of the. important streams
in the parish which are now
spanned by wooden structures.
Experience has taught US that
the expense and cost Of construc-
ton and repair of wooden bridges
makes it economy to- build iron
ones wherever large bridges are
necessary.
If this debt ef she parish TO the
above named creditors is funded
in the manner pfoposed, there
will be no difficulty In applying
q portion Of the annual revenue
towards che paymeut for iron
bridges ms suggested.
Throughout Mississippi, Texas
and the neighbUriug States of the
South the county authorities have.
found II best in che long run to
build iron bridges, even if they
have to saddle a part of the debt
on posterity since posterity viii in
the nature of things inherit large
ly the benefits Of such expendi-
lures.
