In explanation of his efforts to induce
immigration to Louisiana, Mr.. j. +.
Wellington says: Il am seeking to
bring here what may be called the over
flow of the Western and Eastern States,
not men of large capital, but of means
ranging from about 5000 or upward.
indeed less in cases where it is apparent
that the prospective citizen is of the
kind to carve out success for himself
If afforded fair advantages. The pop
ulation in the sections in question is
gradually growing too large. The
chances in life Of acquiring ones own
home are growing smaller. There is an
increasing army of those who are seek
ing this advantage, and in spite of the
fact that they have saved up enough to
buy farm where land is at moderate
figure, yet cannot afford to pay for it
at the tune of 800 per acre. This is a
most exemplary and desirable class of
citizenship, and Louisiana wants them,
and we are trying to get them and are
getting them"

A Roman nose in horse generally
indicates strong individuality, often ac-
companied by great intelligence. A
straight facial line is quite often found
with high degree Of intelligence, but
dish-faced horse is rarely anything
but nonentity in character, or fool.
A fine muzzle denotes highly nervous
organization, while coarse and large
muzzle, with small and non-expansivc
nostrils and benduleus lower lip, means
stupidity. A sensitive and trumpet
shaped nostril means courage and in
telligence, even when, as sometimes. it
also means heaves. A broad and full
forehead, and length from eye to ear,
are good Indications Of intelligence;
but the eye and the ear are the speak
ing features of = horses face"

pressions was injured by the frost.
 Whether or not the orchards in the vi- oinity of Bardsdale. Fillmore and Ca mulos suffered or not is hard to deter
 mine. The growers claim their fruit is
 perfectly sound.
 At Norkhoff the thermometer regis tered on Monday morning at o'clock,
 16 degrees; on Tuesday morning at the same hour, 17 degrees. Thursday the mercury registered 26 degrees. The town of Nordhoff is lower than what is known as the citrus belt of the Ojoi valley. In this citrus belt the mer-
 cury ranged from 26 to 28 degrees, but
 the cold lasted only short time. The trees in all depressions of the Ojai val ley have suffered. A prominent Ojai Valley orange grower stated that slight damage was done by this cold snap, but it's extent canont be definitely ascertain ed yet. Judging from interviews had with the prominent orange growers of Santa Paula Ojai and the Matilija and | other reliable reports of the situation, | the damage to the oranges Is generally | limited to low lands. The total product of sound oranges Is conservatively es- l timated at 200 carloads.
 | SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. No damage of any consequence has
 been sustained by the citrus orchards in | this vicinity from the recent low tenn peratures. Reports have come In all 1 the way from Carpinteria to Ellwood.
 From the northwestern points of Ell wood, La Patera and Goieta, it is re- | ported that only in low, wet places was
 there any injury An acre and half of l lemons on the Philip Rice rancho was
 hurt. They were planted contrary to
 the advice of hortlculturalists upon | ground where the water is known to
 be but few feet below the surface. In
 the Cathedral Oaks district no damage
 has been done at all, the ground being
 higher. Carpinteria and Fl Montecito l valleys to the southeast, which contains immense lemon and orange orchards | report no damage whatever, being high
 and dry. A distance Of fourteen miles
 up the coast and ten miles down, be- l tween the mountains and the sea, sec l tion in which the citrus orchards are al
 most continuous, is covered by this re- I port.

The Bicycle in Winter.

Everybody knows-that Is everybody iu Christendom-the story of the wise and foolish virgins. There Is lesson in this for the cyclist who does not expect to get a new wheel next year. Don't let your machine be put carelessly away in some ally banged up condition in which it camc back from your last ride, until the time comes in the spring when you want to take 1t out and use It. If you do you will be like the foolish virgins who found no oil in their lamps when they wanted to use them. There will be many a long winter evening when you will have little to do Wouldn't it be good plan to take your machine to pieces, clean each individual part examine all the bearings for wear and defects, gets such repairs made as are tiently for what has to be ordered from the factory and have such work done as is required, while the repairman Is not over ridden with work and can therfore do a better and more leisurely job for you ? Then, in the spring. your machine will come forth In all the glory of renewed youth and beauty and you will not have to apologize for its appearance on the ground that 1t Is last years machine. It pays to do this, not alone for the improved look of the bicycle, but because you have discov- had begun to crop out, and you will have prolonged the life of tue machine as well as added to the enjoyment you will get out of 1t next summer.
 But you are no mechanic, You do not know how to take part and clean and otherwise look after your bicyclel Very good This is the first thing you should learn. Would you employ an engineer who did not know enough to keep his engine In

1t is sometimes the case that persons,
who have for many years been in
low state of health. will. toward the
latter part of their lives. appear to out
grow many of their morbid tendencies
and develop really good physical con-
ditions. Under such circumstances 1t
has been observed that full and Wig

are several cases on record where new
teeth have made their appearance. The
speculative mind at once takes up the
question, whether there is not sufficient
restorative power in nature to put old
people in excellent condition. provided
they give nature the proper assistance
