Little Children.

y
for training the future man and wo-
man? The mother of beautiful boy
once said: 81 am going to try and
train him right for some future wo-
man." She had already begun to see
the defects in her husband and she
hoped to make better man OF the
one she was to train. That is the
kind of mothers we need.
Fathers and mothers cannot make
too great sacrifices for their children,
even should they not turn out what
YOU expect, as sometimes happens.
YOU will have done the best you
knew.
The first years ofthe child's life are
the most important, and now is when
the foundation for all it's future is
laid Every other thought and con-
sideration should be put aside if nee
essary to give the child the very best
attention. l do not mean the child
should be in your arms constantly. l
have seen a healthy baby Of few
months lie on it's back in it's carriage
for two hours at a time and play
with handkerchief, it's arms and
legs in almost constant motion;
beautiful picture of happiness and
contentment.
What of the comforts and blessings
they bring into our lives? In the
hour of loneliness and sorrow they
show us gentle ways, putting their
arms around our necks and if you
ask, "Do you love me?" though they
cannot tell you in words, their arms
will hug you all the closer. This
steals away the pain and makes one
feel there is still goodness and purity
in the world.
In old age when you are less active,
there is the strong arm to lean upon,
and the burden is lifted and laid upon
stronger shoulders. Is it not worth
all the sacrifice to have helped train
man, a woman to find their true place
in the world, living lives step in adj
vance of the past and ever drawing
us nearer the divine perfection to be
realized in man and woman?
What the kindergarten has done
and is doing for little children, and
that more attention than ever is be-
ing paid to teaching them right; also
will the new Science of Motherhood'
do for the mother in imparting right
knowledge in their duty and train
ing of their children.
| believe that in the hands of moth
ers and fathers lies the realization of
equal suffrage for all, women as we'll
as men, more important still to make
social purity of living reality, intern
perance and the use of tobacco things
of the past, and homes where love
reigns loyal and pure bringing peace
and contentment.
Probably there are few mothers
who understand what [ am saying,
but do you make it your solemn duty
to seek the knowledge that will help
you, and with all your strength and
energy devote all to the best and
wisest training of your children.
Make their young lives as happy as
possible, for cares and worries will
come to them soon enough, l do not

Tue railroad track, he says, will
certainly be raised, but it will be so
much the better ii its embankment

closing the town. Should the town
provide draining machine, either
the oil mill or tie railroad will
doubtless agree to furnish the

that the town would act in harmony
with the railroad people. and MOI

looked with more favor upon it.

West Feliciana came nobly to the
front again in New Orleans Mon
day night, when the graduating
exercises Of the Law Department Of
Tulane University took place. For
RoDt. C.NYickIiffe, born a Kentuck-

and affection, was the first honor
man in a class of twenty.eight, de-
liveriug the va!edctory. The sab.
ject of his grafton WAS "Justice-
Past and Present." and the treat
meut thereof was eloquent and
mastery. This young lawyer is
full OF promise and he will prove,
we believe, a worthy member OF the

A Novelty.

The tradition exists of a ferry
that used to ply between Bayou
Sara and st. Francisville, over
what is HOW terra tirma at Marks
and Levy's stores, but tho oldest
lnhabitant cannot remember q boat
coming SO far inland as the tue
"May Fisher" has done, this week.
She came in over Williams field
Sunday and landed by the railroad
track, near the oil mill, the track
being the Gully obstacle in the way
OF her getting to the very door OF
the mil. AS it Was, the staunc|
tug under Capt. CornweIl's and Pilot
Sykes management made a good
landing, and loaded with 5000 sacks
OF cotton seed meal for q plantation,
iii West Baton Rouge. She made
Il return trip, Wednesday, aud tool
out 300 sacks more. 1t was Ger
talnly the most novel sight the
h'gl water has given.

The True Democrat was 50 happy,
last week, as to be able to givothe
sirst report of falling water. >Since
Thursday, May l3,'the water from
coming to % stand has been falling
ut therattofone tenth OF i foot each
sIay, and though 10 percertible
change is made in the flood ::situa
ton, the burden OF anxiety,is large.
ly raised from the public mind.
But all danger is not yet past by
any means, and to think SO is to
enter a. }ools paradise. The June
rise is still to come, and reports
from the Ohio and other rivers tend
to keep the public joy within
bounds. The time for vigilance and
careI3 not over. 1t will be wise to
wait and watch till the enemy he.

1t is to be hoped that the water

NO that no disastrous circumstance

AAaphtha Engine.

Those who have had occasion TO
observe the convenience which the
tap road is to Jackson, La., cannot
but make comparisons unfavorable
to our facilities Of travel. On the
jackson road train meets all pas.
sehser trains on the main line. This
- done, chcaply enough, by the use
OF naph'ha engi,ntor the passenger
trains, and a regular engine for
freight.
Now, without making reference
to present conditions of transit.
due to the inundated state of the
track, but TO- conditions when thew
return to normal, it is obvious that
our advantages are pitifu)Iy
poor compared to those of the good
people of Jackson.
IT may be urged that theirs is a
private road and,tlsat it's stock com.
pany, being composed largely of
persons having a care for local in.
terests i'll particular, is disposed to
give the people every advantage
That may be. But we still insis,
that the railway privileges we have
are not pvoportiouate to our needs
or to the amount of business done
here. Tho commercial, not to speaI,
of other interests warrant the road
toglve us more than they have done
heretofore. Why then will they no
DO it? Why must we give much an,
receive little!
We beg the railway management

greater facilities. A naphtha eugin

With the leSSpning OF anxiety
about the water, our citizens should
turn attention to a danger, which
is ever prekrnt-fre. Better Gre
protection should be had. Water
works seem, 1T present, beyond
reach; and in view OF having them
some day, to buy a costly steam
engine would be Il useless expense,
In our opinion, a, small chemical
engine would be the very thing.
Ore would cost about 5000. Az it's
name implies it throws chemicals
upon a FIRE, 40 gallous of which
equal 1000 gallouS of water. The
expediency OF having one will be
apparent to any one who gives The
subject moments thought.
