following clippings from the Lake
Providence Banner-Democrat Of June
Goth:
|. "a railroad running to Mer Rouge.
in Morebouse parish, means great
deal for Providence. 1t means that in
a. very short time our population would
be doubled; it means bank, an Oil

see that he was SO much in earnest
about the project, and that he would
lend his assistance and work for tax
of 5 mills for The benefit of the road.
There is no one who knows the benefits

Jackson and we are glad TO learn
through his communication that he is
not only willing to vote the tax, hut
to .'givc the right of way. give the

roll is one of the finest agricultural
parishes in our state and RAILROAD
running from Providence into that
parish would very soon make its lands
valuable. We hope that the citizens
of that parish will see the necessity OF
this road and vote the tax"
Mer Rouge has seen what benefits
are derived from railroad. In SIX
short years, with a panic covering two
of them, and money matters still as
tight almost as in '93. we have grown
from n crossroads store to be the Sec

Creelman, the well known cores
pondent of the New York World,
who in the presidential Eight of last
November, after studying the pollti-
cal situation in the pivotal States of
The west, predicted the defeat Of
Bryan in Illinois. Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin, which prediction was
borne out by the election returns, is
now following up the State campaign
IN Ohio. la recent letter to his
paper he expresses the opinion that
the Democrats will carry the State
this fall by large majority, ana
bases it on what he has seen and
heard since he has been in the State.
He says the Democrats are better
organized and more harmonious than
their opponents; that the growing
unpopularity of Mark Hanna, to-
gether with the failure of the Repub-
licans 10 restore prosperity rs soou
rs they promised, have caused al
most the entire working and farming
classes to go over to the Democratic

Where the COlOrs Come From

Few people-even artists themselves
know where the colors used IN the
arts come from. 1t is an interesting
fact that one small paint Eox will
often represent the four quarters OF
the globe, and MI sorts of materials,
animal, vegetable and mineral. The
cochineal insect supplies the carmines
and rich crimson, scarlet and purple
lakes. Sepla is the inky fluid dis
charged by the devilish cutie fish.
Indian yellow is from the urine of the
camel and ivory black and bono black
from ivory chips. Prussian blue is
made by fusing horses hoofs and other
refuge matter with impure potassium
carbonate, on accidental discovery.
Blue black is from the charcoal OF the
vine.stalk. Turkey red is derived
from the madden plant of Hindostan.
Gamboge is yellow sap of tree,
which the people of Siam catch in co.
coa1ut shells. Raw Sienna is the nat.
urnal earth from Sienna, Italy. When
burned it is Burnt Sienna. Amber is
from Umbria. India ink is from
burnt camphor. Bistre is the SCOT of
wood ashes. OF real ultramarine
there is little in the market, as it is
made from the precious lapis lazuli,
and commands a big price. Chinese
white is zinc, scarlet is iodide o: mer.
curry and native vermillion comes from
quicksilver ore.

Tho Iron Rings Of 1919.

A great inquiry is now being msde
q different German towns for the iron
mourning rings OF the year 1918. The
history Of these curious memorials Of
German patriotism may not be gener'
oily known. During the National
awakening against Napoleon in 1918
the princess of the royal house made
IN appeal to the people for the saori'
flee OF personal ornaments not unlike
that made by the Long Parliament At
the beginning of Our civil wars. Gold
mourning rings were consequently
sent III immense numbers to the treas
ury in Berlin, and each sender re-
ceived in acknowledgment Oh iron
ring upon which was inscribed "Gold
I give tor Iron" From Swinemundo
alone no fewer than 144 gold rings
we're sacrificed TO the Fatherland, anu
iron rings sent thither in exchange.
Specimens of these iron rings are now
worth more than their weight in gold
