FEATHER BEDS FOR BEAUTY.

The science and practice of bed
making has undergone a radical
change in the past few years. In the
newly done over and decorated
houses, no throne of state could be
impressive, more luxurious and more
radical in its departure from the hith-
erto accepted laws of hygiene than
the bed a lucky guest is invited to
sleep in.
The model just now in the houses
where the antique mahogany era
sweeps everything before it is the
Georgian bed. Three could sleep,
with an abundance of streatching
room, in the area inclosed by the four
massive carven posts of one of these
bS FsSSSPed S1sShss fo fa bpS thffs e esrn s
form up to the required height. One
is of hair, one of cotton and in winter
on top of these reposes a mighty tick
stuffed full of the best white goose
feathers. When these requirements
are fulfilled the full-fedged Georgian
bed is dressed with an attention to
detail and elegance that gives it an
appearance hardly less sumptuous
than the tent of an Indian rajah.
Old brocade edged with bullion fringe
forming the hangings and counter
pane that sweeps the floor is what is
utilized on a bed of the type in Mrs.
George Crocker' S new house and the
coat of arms of the owner is carved on
the head board of the couch.
1t is not everybody, however, who
can lay hands on really truly carved
Georgian bed or dress it in antique
brocade, but even with the modern
brass and iron bed it is true that cur
tains about the head and big feather
stuffed mattresses for winter use are
no longer fashion, but a general
custom.
For half century the feather bed
has been looked upon very coldly by
our leaders in hygiene, but recently,
both with regard to the hangings and
and the feather mattresses a change
of heart has come, and delicate nerv-
Gus, ,neuralgic, rheumatic women, par
ticularly elderly persons and those
afflicted with insomnia, have been
recommded to the feather-bed cure in
the winter. Queen Victoria is one of
the shining proofs of the efficacy of
the feather bed, for where her Ma
jesty goes her big tick full of feathers
in its leather travelling jacket goes
too, and always the curtains are
drawn about the head of her bed to
shut off any treacherous, dangerous<
little draughts.
Queen Victoria and her doctors be-
lieve that the proper way to sleep in
winter is in cold room luxuriously

The black bordered notices of
death which were placed about
our streets on Tuesday announced
to our people that the soul of Mr.
August Erath. one of our most
prominent business men, had taken
It's flight into the Mysterious Be
You'd.
Mr.. Erath was born at Morat, i'll
the Canton Of Fribourg, Switzerland
on March Is, 1913. making him 81
years, ) months and ID days old.
He moved to this place in 1876
and erected brewery and
soda and Seltz factory here which
pa1 him well. He went into the
hardware business in 1884 on st.
Peter street where he has since
lived and where he died. He serv-
ed for four years on the city Coun-
Gil, from 1885 to 1889, the last two
years of the term as Mayor.
He was prominent in many bust
ness enterprises, among them the
construction of the Iberia and Yer
million r. r. from this city to
Abbeville, and where any move
was inaugurated for the progress
and advancement of New Iberia,
the deceased was always in favor
of it. Mr.. Erath was Mason for
many years. He was for nearly a
quarter of century the Treasurer
Of Aurora Lodge +. & A. M. Of
this city. He was also a Pythian
and a member of the Renaissance.
All these orders showed him all
possible respe t.
In January 1874, he was married
to Miss Caroline Becht, of New
Orleans, they having had three
daughters.
In the death of Mr.. Erath, New
iberia has sustained a heavy loss.

Copper Production.

The growth of copper production
III the century has been very rapid,
being In the first decade 81, 600 tons,
IN fifth 2al, 900 tons, and IN the tenth
decade, which ends with 1900, 3,643,
900 tons, of which 1903. 600 tons
is supplied by North America, the
large proportion of this being from
the United States. The rapid extern
sion of the railroad system of Mexico
Is resulting IN the opening of some
very extensive GOPHER mines IN that
country; the richhsss of the ores,
which, as a rule, barry gold and
silver, together wi,hsthe abundance
of very cheap labor, And the climat-
ic advantages< wsf fabd to greatly
increase the North Amf,can produc-
ton. One ofhhe largest copper min
ing enterp,A in the World is now
being started by the Rothschllds,
who have invested S., 600, oO0thereln
This great property is in the State
of Mlchoacan, and in the same MIN
eral belt as are the Ell Progreso
Mines that are advertised in this Is
sue. The handspring of the wonder
full increase of the worlds produc-
ton of copper is. OF course, the great
profit that results from mining It,
and at the present time no better
investment is offered than the stock
Of a good copper mining company

p. nj. Dickinson Lodge No 66, |
O. O. F. met in special session on
Wednesday at 6 p. M. and voted
the sum of Ten Dollars to be sent
to Odd Fellows and their families
in Texas. This sum was supple
mented by subscriptions from
members Of the lodge until the
sum Of $4,000 was raised and sent
them.
While this may seem small
amount, alike sum- even one half
from even one half the lodges in
the United States would rebuild
handsome homes and put them
in a far better condition, loss OF
life and suffering excepted, than
they were before the disaster. The
City of Memphis was once scOurg-
ed by yellow fever. 1t was es-
pecially aud terribly fatal. The
Odd Fellows throughout the Union
sent in so much money that
hundreds of thousand of dollars In
excess Of every possible want
were soon received, and further
contributions stopped. A few
years ago when King Menelik OF
Abyssinia inflicted such terrible
loss on the Italian troops, the Odd
Fellows of the word, New Iberia
as well. sent in contributions to
Odd Fellows, and to the widows
and orphans of obi Fellows killed
and wounded in that battle and
they were very soon above financial
want.
So we believe it will be with
the bereaved and depoiled Odd
Fellows, their wives and children
in Texas. This, of course,is not life
insurance; it is only desire to
rush to tie aid Of men and their
families. who are in terrible want
and restitution: who would as
willingly rush to others help undo !
similar conditions; who are bound
together, the world over, by sacred
| ties and obligations; who look for.

THEIR FIRST REUNION TO BE
HELD SOON IN CHATTANOOGA.
Colonel George w. Taylor has re-
reunion OF the Spanish War
Veterans Association to be held at
Chattanooga, Tenn, from October Sth
to the 18th. Colonel Taylor Is inspec-
tors general of the association.
The local camp, which has a good
sized membership, is also invited to
attend the reunion. Though the organ
number of camps established, and new
ones are being established.
Chattanooga is the headquarters of
the association, and for this reason, as
we'll as for historic reasons, it was
chosen as the place for the first re-
union of the soldiers who enlisted to
fight, or who did fight. in the war with
Spain. Those who attend the reunion
will visit the famous Chickamauga
battlefield, the Lookout Mountain bat
tlefleld. where the battle above the
clouds was fought, and the battlefield
of Missionary Ridge, all within a few
miles of Chattanooga.
During the Spanish American war
there were camped on the Chicka-
manga Park grounds over $4,000 volun-
teers, and many OF them will doubtless
take advantage of the reunion to go
back and see their old camp ground.
Only recently the United States Gov
eminent has purchased Point Lookout
Park. on Lookout Mountain. and has
marked with iron tablets this historic
spot which was the scene of the bat
tie above the clouds"
At the coming reunion an effort will
be made to consolidate the several
Spanish american war veteran organi-
cations.
