A DEMOCRAT.

What are the qualifications ne
cessary to make a man a Demo-
crat, has been frequently asked in
this parish during the past few
days.
That depends entirely upon cir
cumstances. If you are ringster
democrat, you can vote for a re-
publican, vote for negro, and yet
retain your Democracy; but, if
you are a democrat opposing ring
rule, and you vote for only one
single republican, or if it is only
supposed that you voted for a re-
publican, that makes you a repub-
lican. and to remain a republican
until you fall back under the COM
mand of the ringsters, then they
baptize you a democrat.
This is what constitute a demo-
crat according to the interpreta-
ton of the ringsters. :

A HAPPYNEW YEAR.

The Messenger desire to extend
to all its readers and patrons, a
most hearty and happy new year,
and to express our sincere hope
that the new year will bring us
happiness and the prosperity for
which we have all so long earnest
ly waited.
We believe if we strive to con-
centrate our ideas, and our efforts,
our capital, to develop our agri-
cultural resources, to diversity our
crops, to create industries, to
manufacture our raw materials,
which is all possible if we resort
to the cooperation plan, which
has proven so successful elsewhere,
it would surely bring US happiness
and prosperity.
And We earnestly hope to see
this materialize.

ly with the thought of that one wom-

been to him only the realization of
daily dream. Now that the first feel
ing of horror and shame was over. and
he stood so utterly condemned, it
seemed as if, by comparison, those
lost few days had been full of radiant
hope. 1t was over What remained
to him was the bitter humiliation of
having to let Bernard Selwyn know
of his wrong-doing, and his exile from

CURED BY JEALOUSY.

How One Woman Was Made Wen and
Rosy.
1t would never do to give any clew
to the identity of the physician who
conducts a private hospital and who
has just successfully accomplished a
new departure in medicine, says the
San Francisco News Letter. One of the
patients is a wealthy but ignorant
woman, who has been for many years
a confirmed hypochondriac and who
has excessively tried allopathy, no.
meopathy, hydropathy, osteopathy-in
short everything pathic. The patience
of her husband was finally exhausted,
and he consented to enter into a con-
spiracy with the doctor to play upon
his wife's jealousy. 1t was arranged
that he should seem deeply smitten
with young widow, healthy, rosy and
jolly, who is secretly engaged to be
married to Los Angeleno. There
was no question about the unhappy hy-
pochondriac's jealousy. 1t blazed out
in hysterical declaration that the pref
ty widow was waiting for her old
shoes, but she vowed she would get
better just to spite her supposed rival
and to be avenged upon her faithless
husband. She has kept her word and is
now certainly fair, fat and forty. But
her doctor says she is an example of
the jealousy cure.

with observers enough to see all the
heavens, it has been calculated, by
the late Prof. Newton, OF Yale univer-
sity, that the number visible daily
would be between fifteen millions and
twenty millions. When to this num-
Der we add those which are too faint
to be seen by the naked eye we reach
total which may run up to one hum
bred millions. We are therefore forced
to the conclusion that inter-planetary
spaces are quite rich in such bodies.
Investigations show that these shoot
ing stars are of gregarious temper
ament. Millions travel together in
the same swarm or group. They have
plenty of room; the separate bodies
frequently being miles apart.
The best to observe is between
midnight and the sunrise-twilight, as
proved the case during the recent
heavy meteoric shower. We were
then on the advancing front of the
earth and saw those meteors we catch
up with or meet.

structive. The astronomers have been
able to work out the life history of
these meteors from the observations
made. In 1889 S. Humboldt saw from
the Andes mountains grand star
shower, and in 1888 there was another
great meteoric display. Many thou
sands fell in the course of few hours.
Prof. Newton, of New Haven, investi-
gated the matter, looked up old rec
ords of star showers and showed that
there had been a great number of star
showers occurring about thirty-three
years apart and coming in the fall OF
the year. He prophesied that the next
return would be seen Nov. 1914, 1866.
The shower came as predicted. and SO
came the recent shower.

Comes Once in Every Thirty>Three and
One>Quarter Years.

All persons who watch the heavens
and gaze in admiring wonder on the
glittering stars see frequently appar-
ent runaway stars, dashing among
their fixed fellows. leaving trails of
light behind. and then, usually, in
second or two disappearing complete
ly. These stars seem to have been
shot out from previous fixed position
by some tremendous force which
makes the watcher think of the action
of great cannon, and hence the name
OF shooting stars is given. The
astronomer knows that these shooting
stars" are not really stars. Real stars
are giant and distant suns shining by
their own light. They are cold, dark
bodies, which become hot and visible
when they strike the air surrounding
the earth. The velocity of their mo-
ton is, on the average, about twenty
five miles a second, and so when they
dash into the earth's atmosphere the
friction of the air produces a tempera-
ture Of many thousand degrees. The
result is that, as these bodies are usu-
ally very small, they are completely
evaporated and dissipated Sometimes
quite large bodies are able TO resist
this tremendous FRACTIONAL heating
and then the residues reach the earth.
Such bodies, when found, are called
meteorites, meteoric stones, aerolites
(air-stones) or uranoliths (heaven-
stones).
| Some consist of nearly pure iron,
with nickel; others are stony, and still
others are mainly stony with grains
and globules of iron Comparatively
very few meteors have been seen to
fall. Their chemical and minera-
logical character is such that they can
be identified as 'meteors, it is sup
posed. without anyone seeing them
fall. The number of shooting stars
visible to the naked eye is far great
er than one would imagine who only
glances at the sky now and then. A
single observer can see, on the aver
age, about five an hour. But such a
group OF watchers can observe, ordi-
narily, only those stars which shoot"
within two or three hundred miles OF
their observing station. If, there
fore. the whole earth were covered
