and the Sandhurstman has no difficulty in
understanding the West Pointer. But to do
this we must go a little beneath the surface
and see things, not on the parade ground,
but in actual war. For dress occasions
the American uniform is far and away the
ugliest and most useless of all the uniforms
I know. The helmets and cooked hats are
OF the pattern affected by theatrical man
ayers, the decorations tawdry, the swords
absurd, the whole appearance indicative of
a taste unmilitary and inartistic. The pa
rade uniform has been designed by lot of
unsoldierly politicians and tailors about
Washington. Their notion of military glory
is confused with memories of st. Patricks
day professions and Masonic installations.
They have made the patient United States
army a victim Of their vulgar designs, and
to-day. at every European army maneuver,
cne can pick out the American military at
tache by merely pointing to the most un-
soldierly uniform on the field. On the bat
tlefeld. however. there are no political tall
ors. and the Washington dress regulations
are ruthlessly disregarded''
Mr.. Charles Hands, the correspondent Of
the Daily Mail, writes from Tampa concern
ing the Cubans: THE odd thing about it is
that the Americans do not think very muca
of these Cubans personally. Perhaps that is
because when we come to look at them we
are struck by the circumstance that they
are very much like Spaniards. Here at the
hotel in the evening, when the band begins
to play and the broad chested. frank faced
jovial giants of American officers come
those who can be spared from their regi-
mental duties--to lounge and smoke and
swap "reminiscences with old comrades long
parted. there appear also number of ele-
CANT little military men in dandy brown
canvas uniforms. They wear elegant, close
fitting boots and the brims of their hats are
turned up with such dandy curl and their
thick black mustaches are twisted up ever

L L FEVER SCARE.

Briefly summed up, the Franklin
case was as follows: Two houses
were situated a short distance apart,
the ground being almost level, and
draining from each TO the other. In
one of these houses one or more vel
low fever patients lived last year.
The premises had been thoroughly
disinfected, as had the house adjoin-
ing. Between the two houses stood
what is described as a small room.
This vas condemned by the Franklin
board of health last fall or winter,
and ordered torn down, but the order
was never complied with. A week ago
this room was torn down, and its
contents exposed to the air. It con-
tanned boxes, barrels, sawdust and
other packing material, etc. A bed
room in the building that was not in
fected last year contained a window
overlooking this demolished room,
and in this room Mr.. Hopson took
sick and died. After death the doc
tors declared he died of yellow fever.
The y. S. Marine hospital doctors
state it as their opinion that the
germs remained in the small building
until it was demolished. Every pre-
caution has been taken, and it is CON
fidently believed that there will be no
more cases in Franklin.

A NEW PEST.

Of conversation about rice crops men
toned the presence of a e worm
that was devastating the fields plant
ed in imported Japan seed. This
worm is unlike the grass or army
worm of the country that strips the
leaves of plants, but cuts the rice off
just above the ground. From the
fact that this worm is confined to rice
of imported Japan seed, the presump-
ton follows that the eggs of the worm
came with the seed and Matched out
after the rice came up.
If this be true a new danger con-
fronts the rice industry Of Southwest
ern Louisiana and our farmers an
not be too careful in the seed they
plant. Doubtless soaking the seed
and burning the stubble, or plough
ing it under deep might eventually
eradicate the eggs of the worm de-
posted, but something should be
done to avert the introduction of any
new pests. The chintz bug is enough
without any other allies to assist in
the destruction Of crops.-Crowley

vantage of the five months he served
when he served when he was in the pen
before. The appeal will help Haynes
considerably as he was sentenced by
Judge Pollock to serve four years and
this will help a year and a half. Haynes
