1t costs the government now just five

thus be seen that the United States

PaY Of French oonxIc,s.

Many of the convicts in French
prisons are paid for their labor, and
earn about one shilling and fivepence
a day. Half of this they are allowed
to spend for extra food, postage, etc,
and the rest is saved, to be given 10

AMONG THE POULTRY.


Do not overcrowd the poultryhouse.
A close, Il-ventilated house is foul
house.
Keep pure, fresh water within the
reach of fowls.
Young ducks are most easily raised
in small yards.
Nothing tends to engender disease in
chickens more than filth in the coops.
A duck fattens easily. This should be
guarded against when they are laying.
Sit the hens in cool place and on the
ground, as the weather begins to get
hot.
Too much linseed meal will make
the hens too fat, but a small quantity is
healthful.
Bran should always be scalded before
being fed, as the fowls will relish it
much better.
When it is desired to push the growth,
rather better results can be secured by
feeding cooked food.
There is no good reason for keeping
and feeding old male birds after the
Matching season is over.
One stumbling block with poultry
keeping is in attempting to keep too
large a number in too small a space.
Keep the young turkeys up until the
dew has dried off the grass and keep
them dry in wet weather.
AS a rule the turkey hens prefer to
steal their nests out, and if The eggs are

Sure Cure for Scandal.

1t is told of Hannah More that she
had good way Of managing tale bear
ers. 1t is said that whenever she was
told anything derogatory to another
her invariable reply was: "Come,
we will go and ask if this be true"
The effect was something ludicrously
painful. The tale bearer was taken
aback, stammered out a qualification,
or begged that no notice might be
taken of the statement. But the good
lady was memorable. Off she took the
scandal monger to the scandalized to
make inquiry and compare accounts.
1t is not likely that anybody ever a
second time ventured to repeat a
gossipy story to Hannah More. One
would think her method of treatment
would be a sure cure for scandal.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

If a woman doesn't think a man
is sincere when he compliments
her, it's his own fault.
1t is probable that Jobs wife
never asked him to take the tacks
out of the parlor carpet.
Every woman has her times
when she wants nothing SO bad
as man tc smooth her hair and
say: poor little girl!9
The worst thing for a woman is
to marry a man that she can't love;
the worst thing for a man is to
love a woman that he can't marry.
Married men get to he such good
friends because they always act
sorry for each other; married wo-
men never do, because each one
knows the other would never adj
NIT that she wished she hadn't.

We understand that about thir-
ty dollars worth of washing is sent
to the Lake Charles and Crowley
laundries every week by a few
boys. Just think what the wash
ing of the town would amount to
if we had a laundry of our own.
If this was investigated and looked
into closely, we believe it might
induce some of our people to form
stock company and put up plant
in st. Martinvflle. A few such small
industries would create labor for
our young people at home, and
would keep our money home.

Willie Lafore's Murder.
DETAILS OF THE LUMBER CAMP IRA
GEDY ON BAYOU PIGEON.

The details of the murder of
Willie G. Lefore, in a lumber
camp, on Bayou Pigeon last Sun
day, are just to hand, and are gi-
ven by Louis Phillips, an eye-wit-
ness to the whole affair and one of
the men who recovered the dead
mans body from the waters of the
bayou.
Phillips states that Lefore and.
a white man named Napoleon
quarreled ON Saturday about the
cutting of a tree. When Thos.
Flynn, the foreman, returned the
next day Sunday he discharged
Lefore and ordered him to get
out of camp as quickly as posi-
bic. Lefore charged Napoleon
with having conspired toward his
discharge aiid the tSo quarreled
violently. Nopoleoh reached for
revolver when Lefore drew his
weapon and shot under the table
at Napoleon. Several shots were
exchanged, and the white man was
badly wounded lin The face and
neck. Lefore retreated when the
chambers of his revolver were
empty. Nal Flynn opened fire on
him as he ran and shot him in the
back. Lefore jumped in the be-
you and was swimming across
when Tom Flynn picked up a
WinchesteN rifle and shot Kim
squarely in the back of the head
his body sinking at once. Tom
Flyrn then turned his gun on
Austin Altemus, who was behind
tree, and fired several shots at
him, which were without effect.
John McChesney pleaded for the
life of Altemus and Flynn finally
relented and ceased firing. Alte-
mus, Preston Hall and Phillips
recovered Lefore's body from the
water and brought it to his moth
er's home on Bayou Plaquemfne.
Before they left camp the Flynns
had started with Napoleon for
New liberia. He was badly woun-
ded aid it was thought that he
would die.
Phillips says the killing was
wholly uhcall1d for, and no doubt
at attempt will be made to bring
the parties to5ustice. p. H. Jour-

Past and Future Changes in
the Sugar Industry.

N ouSoi AhouSll y
European countries impose a
heavy tax on sugar consumed at
home in order to raise the $25, OOO,-
600 they pay annually in subsidies
to promote their export trade in
sugar. This and prohibitive tar ifs
account for the high prices abroad.
But our plan of countervailing du-
ties equal to foreign export boun-
ties neutralizes the advantage here
tofore enjoyed in this market By
export bounty sugars. By this
artificial stimulus, aided by science
to a degree that is a wonder and
delight, Europe has nearly dou-
bled her beet-sugar product since
1880, until it is now about $780,
600 long tons annually. The
worlds cane-sugar supply, inclu-
ding Cuba in a normal state, has
grown only half as fast of late
years, and is now about 100000
tons. 1t is quite likely that this
years production of sugar from
beets will be twice as great as
from cane, whereas conditions
were just the reverse about twen-
ty-hve years ago.
This accounts for United States
imports of sugar from Europe in

Bending Cardboard.

An English inventor-name or loca-
ton we do not find given-is said to
have oontrived tool capable of being
attached to any machine or apparatus
having transversing slide and fixed
table that will bend cardboard without
the need of score cut, thus preserving
the full strength Of the material at the
bend. The tool in question is formed of
metal or wood and is in two parts, one
having a recess on one edge and the
other a straight edge, having the upper
edge rounded off to fit into the recess
on the edge Of the first part, allowing
space between equal to the thickness of
the substance to be beut-the length Of
the straight edge to be made to the
longest bend required. In using the
tool, the second mentioned part is made
fixture to the table machine frame OF
apparatus and the first part is attached
to the traversing portion. By placing
the cardboard to be bent on the straight
edge, then sliding the second part over
and along the board under a certain
amount of pressure, a bend in the card
will be produced. York Sun.
