FAMILY LIVES IN A TREE.
New jersey Man Who Has Built HIM
self q Home Well Above
Ground.

John Rausch, of Haledon, N. j., and
his family live up tree. \ more
unique habitation cannot be imagined.
In the branches of big oak he has
built his home. 1t is perched among
the leaves and over the top of the
queer abode towers the top OF the
tree. forming its chief roof.
Rausch, SAYS a letter to the St. Louis
Republic, is German laborer who has
worked around Haledon for five years.
He has seldom earned more than a
dollar day. He grew tired of paying
rent and. with the Germans love of
owning a home of his own. he tried
to buy some property from the real
estate dealer of the place. William
Buschman. The latter owns nearly all
the land in that vicinity. and is anxious
to have the property improved. lie
told Rausch he would give him nice
lot for little money if he would bui.d
a house. True the lot was far away
from the road. but it was dry and well
situated. 1t was covered with fine
lfCSS. anu an SSpSNsoi'N ''"JN'''| '">
grew in the center.
After paying for the lot RauscA
found he hadn't money enough to start
the house he had promised to build.
His wife and three small children ate
up his meager earnings. Buschman
told him he would have to give up the
OF if he didn't begin the house.
Rausch thereupon secured number
of big boxes. He had conceived the
idea of making the branches of the
tree serve for uprights and timbers.
The nails in the boxes were sufficient.
On the strong lower branches he
crossed and recrossedShe boards. 1t
made very uneven floor, but the
branches were strong and the boards
would not slip. The house is circular,
but very irregular.
Above all there is smaller structure
that Rausch calls his garnet. When
the wind blows the whole structure
shakes and swings like a hammock,
yet the whole family live there.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

1t seems to be the general opin-
ion in this parish that the present
plan of working the roads is much
better than the Corvee system.
The roads In most Of the wards are
in fair condition. 1t was not rea-
sonable to expect that the roads
would be put IN perfect condition
the first year, but judging from the
Improvement already noticeable it
is safe to say that IN the course of a
few wears they will be immeasura-
bly, better than they have ever bee n
before. The sum derived yearly
from the collection of the vehicle
tax is necessarily small and made
auate to repair all the roads during
one season. But we have no doubt
that with an economical and intelli'
gent administration Of the road
working department our public
highways throughout the parish will
be greatly improved.
There is not the shadow of :
doubt that the present system is ia
better than the old one. Its result
are not only more satisfactory bu
its operation affords a more equit
able division of the burden.
The Gazette would, if it could
impress upon the minds of tn
members of the. incoming Polio
Jury the importance of judiciou
and economical administration c
the road funds. Nothing is NOR
essential to the prosperity of con
; munity-a farming community e:
pecially-than good roads. Goo
roads, after good public schools
are the strongest evidence OF t.
progress:veness of people.

4 GEOZ SUR TE y

Our townsman, Mr.. G.. S. Babin,
is very much interested in the geo.
logical development of this State.
For years he has been devoting
great deal of his time to convince
the proper Federal authorities of
the advisability Of making a geo
logical survey in this section OF
Louisiana. Recently Mr.. Babin
has received a letter from the de-
partment of the interior at Washing
ton IN which his efforts in behalf Of
the undeveloped resources of this
section are acknowledged. The
Gazette hopes that Mr.. Babin will
continue his very commendable
work until the people will realize
the importance Of a survey and i'm
press upon their representative at
the Federal Capital the necessity OF
their valuable cooperation. The
letter is as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
United States Geological Survey,
Division of photography, !
Washington, y. c., April IL, 1900
MIR. G.. S. Babin, Jr.,
Lafayette, louisiana.
Dear Sir:-Please accept my thanks TO
your letter of April 5 with newspaper clip
ping. l have long appreciated the impor
lance of detailed work in Louisiana ano
hope that you will continue your efforts tt
secure geological survey. This can bes
be done by bringing the matter to the at
tention of your senators and representative
in such a way as to interest them and con
vince them of the practical Importance t
the State.
You doubtless appreciate that Govern
ment work is to large extent governed b.
t the public interest shown and the petitions
and requests coming from various sections
If, for example, we have 100 inquiries from
+. Pennsylvania and none from Louisiana tn
latter would be apt to be neglected.
Very truly yours,

BE RE WARDED.

The Watchman of St. Mary ad-
vocates the election of the Hon.
II. Y. Sanders as Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Besides
the eminent fitness Of its favorite
the Watchman offers the following
reasons why Mr.. Sanders should be
elected:
St. Mary deserves this distinction because
| our people took front rank in the campaign,
and they should be given first place in the
distribution of honors and patronage
The foregoing will no doubt APP
peal strongly to the sense Of justice
characteristic of the Democratic
party in this State. Come to think
of it, St. Mary has been but poorly
rewarded tor it's splendid services
, to the party. At the present time
only one of the State officers-the
goveraor-is from St. Mary and OUT
Z of two United States senator's tha
parish has but one. And it is Ger
tain that of the two senators to b.
elected in May ST. Mary will &c
only one. 1t would be doing tina
good parish an injustice to say tn a
= 1t has at any time been heard
complain. Such unexampled modest

be allowed to pass unnoticed. Ih

Want OF APPRECZA TON.

WANT OF APPREC/AZ TON.
Capt. Jno. McGrath, of the Baton
Rouge Truth, administers a gentle
rebuke to the management of the
New Orleans Fair for it's short
sighted policy toward the country
press of the State. Capt. McGrath
complains with reason that the man
agement of the fair has shown very
little courtesy to the Country edl-
tors. The country newsPaPermen
are asked to publish weekly articles
advertising the fair in the rural dis
tricts, but the management gives no
evidence of Its appreciation OF the
favor asked OF the publishers.
Some years ago when the Atlanta
Fair was held it is safe to say that
every country publisher in Louisl-
ana was given a pass for the season.
When the Louisiana editors visited
Omaha the press representative OF
the fair lost no lime in providing
them with admission tickets to be
used during their stay in that city.
Other courtesies not necessary to
mention were extended to the Louis
lana newspaper people. The gen
erous policy pursued by the man
ayers of the Atlanta and Omaha
fairs might we'll be adopted by the
New Orleans gentlemen.
The Lafayette Gazette is natural,
interested in the success of the New
, Orleans fair and for that reason i
has cheerfully published the read
s ing matter sent by the press agent
The Gazette hopes that the countr:
, papers throughout the State will d.
their best to advertise the fai
- among the country people, thereb
r helping along a most worthy enter
e prise. The niggardly policy of tn
d management should not be pei
> mitted to prevent the country pa
y pers from giving the fair all the al
in their power.
