No Business Here.

Every town perhaps has its share
of l~oafers, buns and like offal of hu-
man society, says an exchange, but
there is absolutely nc reason why any
community of decent people should
allow a do nothing society tofourish.
Young men who have no means OF
keeping themselves ought to be made
to either go to work or move on.
Vagabonds they are, and such prac-
tees as is INDUCED in about country
towns by quasi respectable young
men, if INDUCED in, in police regu-
lated cities, would give them a COM
mission on the rock pile, and IN justice
to those who work, the same rule
ougat to apply everywhere.

A Suggestion.

The Rayne Tribune of recent
dave says: "Wha is known as the
Hunter Canal now being built from
vermilion bayou towards Gueydan,
is to be 100 feet wide and six feet
deep, so we are informed. II this be
SO we think it will prove quite FEAST
BILE to tow out by means of barges,
the rice which is produced aiong chat
canal, to the Vermilion which is a
navigable stream. If this scheme be
once operated, the canal companies
will find that it will pay to widen and
deepen these artificial waterways SO
that they will become real arteries OF
trade. In this level country where
water is plentiful and the building Of
canals is comparatively cheap the
transportation question ought to be
easily settled"

A Cooling Remedy.

Sugar is one Of the best cooling
remedies. After the body has be-
come heated, nothing is better than
an ounce of sugar dissolved in a glass
of.water. In fevers and other heat
ing diseases, in case of catarrh, es-
pecially after violent emotions, as
fright, worry or anger, it is very use
full, and has the additional benefit of
suppressing and evacuating the bile
that has been raised up. When
added to heating things it may dimin-
ish their heating power, that is, coffee
drank with much sugar is less heat
