New Iberia has just voted the
tax for waterworks and electric
lights. That town is nearly double
in population to Franklin but not
quite double in wealth. The town
has beautiful streets and with the
above mentioned improvements ii
will be one OF the best towns in
the State. Franklin has good lights
and splendid waterworks. With
good streets it will be equal to
New Iberia in public improve
ments. We do not see how any
possible opposition to the extern
sion of the bonded indebtedness of
this town can show itself. We do
not think there will be ten per
cent of the people vote against it.

BREAKFAST CHAT,

II Is quite customary to criticise Sc
VerelE the manners of the present time,
and to contrast them unfavorably with
the manners of Il generation ago; and fire.
Iuently we hear bewailed the decline of
the old-fashioned courtesy, and the pune
tilious regard for the little points of pro-
pflcty and niceties of social intercourse
mat distinguished a bygone day. And
yet manners are not so bad as they might
De, nor as they once We're.
An old book, published about 1913,
called the Ladies' Companion gives,
for instance, these rules regarding q la
dy conduct at table:
70 not lean your elbows on the table.
Discover not, by any ravenous gesture,
your angry appetite, nor fix your ewes too
=rccdlly on the meat before you. as if
YOU would devour more than your throat
could swallow.
Fill not your mouth so full that your
bagpipes.
1t is uncivil to rub your teeth in COM
pany' or pick them with your knife at
meals
Avoid smacking your lips in eating,
Forbcar putting both hands to your
mouth at Cnce, nor gnaw your meat. Let
your nose and hands be always clean.
When You have ti!ned or supped, rise
from the table ami carry your trencher
with you.
The usual method of serving meat was
upon Spits, from which diners hacked
such portions as they required, an elab-
ate table Of precedence determining who
should be entitled to the first, CUT --sae:
One Of the table recommendations we
read Of was:
I.oke thy naylys be cleane in hythe,
Lest thy fellow lothe therwyth.
And there is this further direction:
" thy nose thou clense as may befalle,
Loke thy honde thou clense withale,
priviy with skyrt do it away,
Or ellis thy tipit that is so gay.

for the murder of William Moore, one

Tor the murder or William Moore, one
of his crew.
His defense for this was that Moore
attempted to mutiny and that he (Kydd)
dashed his brains out with bucket.
He was also charged with general pira-
cy and with being a comrade of the pi-
rates who then made that great island
their rendezvous.
His defense for this charge was that
he had been forced to act in that manner
by his crew.
He was found guilty Oh both charges
and was duly hanged at Execution dock,
as so many others had been.
In spite of his bad end many persons
declared that the venal Lord Somers and
others high in power had share in his
profits and then had him condemned to
prevent him from ever testifying to the
fact, and that he was treacherously
seized after Gov. BellamOnt had given
him safe conduct.
1t is certain that Kydd was not a cruel
man. as most of the pirates were, and
that he never tortured his prisoners, or
put them to death, as was at that time
the custom among the sea rovers, or gem
tlemcn of the black flag.

Why Cats Wash After Eating.

Why Cats wash After EatinCs
You may have noticed, little friends,
That cats don't wash their faces
Before they eat, as children do,
In all good Christian places.
Well, years ago, famous cat,
The pangs of hunger feeling,
Had Glanced to catch a fine young mouse
Who said, as he ceased squealing:
"All genteel folks their faces wash
Before they think of eating!''
And, wishing to be thought well-bred,
puss needed his entreating.
But when she raised her paw to wash,
Chance for escape atfOrding,
The sly young mouse said his goodby,
Without respect to wording.
A feline council met that day,
And passed. in solemn meeting,
A law fOrbidding any cat
To wash till after eating.

FIR FALLING HAIR,

y certain head of hair possessed by a
woman of uncertain Tor only too certain)
age began to call in combsful every time
her tresses were brought we'll upon the
head as the present mode demands.
10 get at the root of the hair and
night Il treatment which is simple and
sensible. As Il result the hair not only
ceased falling out, but became wavy and
"alive" as well.
She used crude petroleum jelly, work
ing it into the scalp, not leaving it out
side, to prove worse than useless. Here
is her recipe for making this simple but
sure hair fertilizer strike home: Ask any
physician what is the best means of con-
veying Il food or medicine into the skin,
and he will say lanol,n, therefore, to
convey petroleum to the roots of the
hair, mix it with like quantity of lano-
lin, put little on each finger tip, sit
down comfortably to this fertilizing pro-
cess, and, if possible, before beginning,
what is to be continued once every day
for the two weeks, shampoo the head.
Having hair and scalp clean, begin with
the front hair, bend the anointed fingers
and begin a patient, gentle rubbing, get
ting directly at the scalp, touching any
but the roots Of the hair as little as may
be-
Follow the same rule for the back, be-
ginning with both sides OF the crown and
then working up from the base or
''scruff'' of the neck. At first it will be
impossible to prevent the hair looking a
little greasy, but brushing will help this,
and. for those who object to the brush,
the hair may be we'll rubbed with soft,
fine cloth or large silk handkerchief.
As soon as the hair stops falling out
the application may be discontinued, but
a gentle massage with all the fingers will
be found necessary to continue the good
work. Notwithstanding the prejudice
before referred to, the continuous gentle
brushing strengthens the hair 50 that the
lanolin and petroleum massage will but
seldom be needed.
