RED RICE IN LOUISIANA.

The rice planters and mllers of South
western louisiana are having some
trouble with the crop Of this season. For
some unaccountable reason a considerable
percentage of it is red. This Is not the
first season that red grains have appeared
among the white, TO be sure, but never
before has the proportion been 50 large.
An examination by chemists has shown
that the red rice is equally as nutritious
as white The value Of the article as a
matter of food Is not ia the least injured
by the red grains. But the fact remains
that the colored grains injure the sale Of
the rice they appear In. There Is move
ment on foot among the mlllers looking
to the removal of the prejudice against
red rice on the part Of consumers, but it
may be doubted that it will be attended
speedily with gratifying results. 1t IS
very hard to remove prejudice, especial
y when 1t has to do with the food one
eats
Red rice, It Is said, grows more rapidly
with less cultivation, and ripens quicker
than the white variety. Where It origi-
mated is not known, but the supposition
among Louisiana planters is that 1t is the
result of careless or insufficient cultivation
of white rice once a field or plantation
begins to show red grains, it is matter
of extreme difficulty 10 prevent the red
from increasing rapidly, while without los
ing one or more crops it Is almost an i'm
possibility TO eradicate it. Maturing before
the white grains, the red rice drops seeds
to the ground before the crop is ready to
be harvested. These seeds lie during the
winter, and terminate and grow the next
spring. No way has been found to de-
stroy the red seeds left on the ground, ex-
cept to permit them to spring up alone,
and then cut down and destroy the plants
before they have time to reproduce other
seeds. This, however. is a very costly
process, and one which is not likely to be
resorted to often.
A popularity in connection with the APP
pearance of red rice in Louisiana is the
fact that It is giving the river planters no
trouble a t all, but is troubling the planters
of prairie lands exclusively.

there one night, about 10 o'clock and took
my luck with me- and by y O'Clock had

to do, so 1 dropped into 40 and set into
the game there. 1 knew that the game
was bent but I had the money and
didn't mind takin' a chance.
Il hadn't been into the game long until
l picked up four aces. 1 bet 'em up the
cats back, and a man across the table
kept comm back at me- When it came to
the show down l had i'm beat and the
banker announces that the game is broke
Il waits till they gifts another stake,
and the game starts again. 1 played along
and finally picks up four deuces. I kept
bettin' i'm, and finally the show down
comes again, and I has the other feller
beat. The bankers says the game is broke
again and l cashes in. They were fixin-
up hands, you know, and 1 got the cool
err twice when 1t was meant for one of
the house men. The man who was to get
the cooler gets my hand, and, of course,
he thinks he has the cooler so he bets

THE man who owned the joint was up
stairs asleep, and they went and woke him
up. He comes down bitin' and says:
Where's the sucker that broke this
brace game? and smiles and says, He's
right here He knows me, and when I
says that ne smiles and says, We'll, il
anybody had to get it, I'm glad it's you.
You're mighty lucky, you are.
He didn't do nuthin' but fire the far

From the Denver News.

From the Denver News.
There are countless heroes who live and
de,
Of whom we have never heard;
For the great, big, brawling world goes by,
With hardly a look or word:
And one of the bravest and best of all
OF whom the list can boast
Is the man who falls on duty's CALL
The man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with manhood's
bloom
And the pathway of life looks bright,
He is brought in a moment TO face the
gloom
Surrounding the final night.
He buoyantly sails Ger a sunlit sea
And is dashed on an unseen coast
Till the ship goes down at the helm stands
he
The man who dies at his post.
Who follow the glorious tide of war
And falls in the midst of fight,
He knows that honor will hover Ger
And cover his name with light,
But he who passes unsung, unknown,
Who hears no applauding host,
Goes down in the dark to his fate, alone,
The man who dies at his post.
Who bears with disease while death draws
near,
Who faces his fate each day,
Yet strives to comfort and help and cheer
His comrades along the way,
who follows his work while he yet may
do,
And smiles while he suffers most
II seems to me is hero true
The man who dies at his post.
There are plenty to laud and crown with
bays
The hero who falls in strife,
But few who offer a word of praise
To the crownless hero of life.
He does his duty and makes no claim;
And tonight l propose a toast
To the silent martyr unknown to fame,
The man who dies at his post.

THE TAXATION OF CHARITIES.

| The bin pending in the General Assembly
/ providing for an amendment to the Con-
/ stltution under which the property of col
leges and charitable Institutions Of the
state shall be exempted from taxation.
should receive the support of everyone
| who would Ike to see the youth of the
state educated and the hospitals and or
/ phan houses supported. None of these in
stltuuons have any great income. but what
little incomes they have are reduced by
taxes which they are compelled to pay.
The state IS doing what It can in the
way of educating It's young men and wo-
men, but that is only a little In compari-
son with what some other states are doing
The active aid OF every college Is needed
by the state in the great work. The same
IS true respecting the need for the aid Of
the charitable institutions. In Savannah
for instance, there is not a public hospital
or orphan house. and what is done in the
line Of either Is entirely through the phil
anthropy of the people. Take the Be
thesda Orphan Asylum, founded by George
Whitfield, of blessed memory under its
sheltering roof there are over one hundred
and twenty orphans who are being fed
clothed, cared for and educated from the
contributions of the members of the Union
Society and a limited income from small
requests made to this great charity. The
taxation of such benefcent institutions
means taking away from them 10 to 30 per
cent. of their receipts It is stated that the
total sum of such property taxed in
to
economic question Is, does it pay the state
to tax this property, and thereby hinder
the work of these charities? The taxing
of these Institutions deters charitable peo-
pie from giving to them, and discourages
those who give literally Of their time and
means in managing them as a labor of
love.
There are persons who are opposed to
the exception of denominatlopal institu-
tons from taxation because, as they claim,
they are for the benefit of some particu-
lar sect, and exempting them from taxa
ton would be mixing church and state
This is commonly the argument of those
who give neither to church nor school;
who criticise the religion of others, but
have little if any of their own Would 1t
not be better that some property should
go untaxed than that the institutions of
learning, mercy and charity should be en-
barrassed?
1t is time for Georgia to show more
liberal spirit in the matter of taxation of
school property 1t would be of much
benefit to the state if the pension laws
which now permit considerable sums of
money to be diverted from proper chan
nels, were so revised as to limit the PEN
sions to those who need them. and the
money thus saved applied to education
Meantime the Legislature can and should
deal literally with those who. at their
own expense, are laboring for the good Of
others as in the case of the institutions
mentioned above.
