We have heard that several of
our citizens had expressed their
willingness to take nearly enough
stock in a rice mill to make the
organization a certainty. There
is not the least doubt that rice can
be successfully cultivated in every
section of this parish, and as soon
as the certainty of the deep wells
can be demonstrated to our peo-
pie, We are certain, with its small
cost, that rice will be grown all
over the parish. The canal will
develop all the black lands west
of this town, and the wells render
i possible to cultivate rice upon
any land and every where. Rice
has some advantage over cane end
cotton, as it requires very little
labor, it isplanted late and har-
vested early-the blowing and
seeding are the most expensive
features of a rice crop.

A National Monument to
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
States.

States.
1t appears there is movement
on foot, to erect by popular SUBJ
scription either in Washington, or
in the national cemetery at Ar
lington, just across the Potomac,
a magnificent monument to the
memory of General Robert E. Lee,
the great chiaftein of the Southern
Confederacy. The projects meets
with the hearty approval of the
Washington Post and in an edito-
rial supporting the movement that
newspaper says:
ut is not conceivable that any
man, North, South, East or West,
throughout the tremendous length
and breadth of the United States,
would frown upon or even fail to
sympathize with a movement to
celebrate the memory of Robert E.
Lee. There was a man who con-
tanned within himself every ele-
ment of a noble heroism. Pure
minded, generous, chivalrich,
brave, and gentle, he was yet the
man of strenuous action, the SOL
der, the commander, and the war
god. If he ever harbored mean
thought or committed a mean act
his most industrious critic has
failed to mention it. If he was
ever other than the gentleman,
the Christian, and the ideal SOL
der, the oldest students of his re-
cord do not know it to this day.
If he had fault it was that of
self-abnegation. If he had a weak
ness it was that of mercy and CON-
passion. His life makes a stain
less and splendid page in histo-
ry. He showed the world that a
puissant soldier could be pitiful
and kind as any angel. He show
ed the world that a very lord of
battle could be innocent and stain
less in his private life. If in mo-
dern times there has been deve-
loped the prototype of Tennyson's
Sir Galahad, we find it in the
character and career of Lee. He
met Grants magnificent strategy
and imperious attack with a gen.
ius and a fortitude whcih provoked
the admiration of all Christendom.
He met Grants splendid magnan-
unity at Appomattox with an Gag
er heroism and patient resignation
beyond all words. He should have
a monument if nobility of charac-
ter and splendor of courage and
of devotion are emit
tied to recognition by brave men.
1t should be the pride of every
one to aid in so high a cause"

Inspectlon bN Tanning.

Among the most incomprehensihle
proceedings Ia be observed within the
vast area OF Woolwich Reserve Depot
are the doines of a small party of Of
ficials, one of whom appears TO do
nothing all day long but sit at table
and tap on the top of tin oanisters
with couple of bits of stick some
thing after the manner OF a child beat
ing on the upturned end OF his drum.
The tins are passed before him about
as fast as he can tap them, aud abso-
lutely nothing seems to come OF the
game. To the unenlightened onlooker
il is quite unintelligible. The tins
contain meat, and before they are
passed into the store il is, Of course,
important to examine the condition of
what is inclosed, and this in fact is
the way il is done. The trained ear
Of the expert examiner can tell whether
the meat IL in wholesome or a putrid
condition by the sound emitted when
raped with the stick. just as the ex-
aminer OF railway carriage wheels is
supposed TO be able 90 tell whether
the wheel he taps with his hammer is
cracked or not. The rapidity with
which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattontion OF the per.
former with the sticks, aud his total
indifference To all sorts Of noises about
him, render the procedure very
curious one 10 watch. The test is
said to be practically infallible. Lon

'Iu the year 1884 the tulip craze
in Holland" writes Clifford Howard.
in the Ladies' Home Journal, "be-
came so great that the ordinary in
dustries were neglected. No one
wanted to do anything but raise tulips.
A rare specimen offered for sale called
forth exciting bidding. Every one
was on the lookout for special varie-
ties. IL was rumored at one time
that there were but two bulbs of the
Semper Augustus in existence in Hol.
land. One of them was owned 10y a
florist in Hasrlem. and another 10y a
dealer in Amsterdam. This rumor
was sufficient So arouse the liveliest

Hints About Shoes.

Never wear n shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot so large
in the heel that the foot is not kept in
place.
Never wear a shoe or boot tight
anywhere.
Never wear a shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part of the sole TO
drop any joint below the level plane.
Never wear a shoe with sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part Of
the foot TO contract.
Never wear a shoe that presses up
into the hollow of the foot.
Never come from high heels to low
heels in one jump.
Never wear one pair OF shoes all the
time unless obliged TO. Two pairs of
boots worn a day at time alternately
last longer and are much more health
ful.
Never wear a short stocking or one
which, after being washed, is not at
least one-half inch longer than the
foot. Bear in mind that stockings
shrink. BE sure that they will allow
your toes to spread out at the extreme
ends, as this keeps the joints III place
and makes a strong and attractive foot.

Flower Pans.

The dainty French flower fans are
most taking little affairs.
With summer staring us in the face,
we are more than interested in these
festive breeze coaxers.
Emphatically, the most character
istlc of these are the fans formed OF a
single flower. The paper is even cut
round the edge to the shape Of each
petal.
These simple little paper fans cost
S1.75, and each and every one is
signed. The painting is very effective,
and the pansy, the rose, the iris, the
poppy and the orchid are all lovely.
Other effective flower fans for sum
mer, some of them painted on silk,
are in the conventional shape. One
in pastel pink shows some shadowy
pausies and two or three "darning
needles" darting dizzily hither and
thither.
A gold -bordered pale blue beauty
is beautiful, with purpling heur de
lys; while one in white gauze, be-
sprinkled with violets. has a butterfly
border; these butterflies are painted,
the outer edges being cut to the
shapes of the butterflies wings
An odd paper fan from Japland, in
pale violet, has darker painted paper
violets stuck on at intervals.
A quaint fan, from China, is the
Mandarin. Above its wood sticks,
over it's yellow surface, are placed
quaint crimson blossoms in true Chi
nese fashion.

Bird Died of "A Broken Heart.

Last summer a woman who lives in
Harlem went to the country for a
months holiday. Before leaving she
gave her pet canary, Dick, into the
hands of the woman in the next fiat
to care for until her return. Dick
missed his mistress the next day and,
after a tender little song, hushed his
voice and would sing no more. He
ate very little and began to droop
visibly. As the days went by he be

Origin of the Empire Dress.

The Empire dress was created in
the island of Martinique, where Joseph.
inc was born. Whatever the reigning
fashion elsewhere, there il holds su-
preme sway. The fabric usually en-
ployed is madras III brilliant color
ings, handsomely interviewer. The
yoke is a mass of decorative needle
work in shocking, shirring and EN-
broidery. Slippers of gayly colored
kid or silk richly embroidered with
gold thread frequently accompany the
costume, or high-heeled boots may be
worn, equally gorgeous Of hue. The
women are without exception fond of
dress, and q white petticoat, all ruffles
and lace, often represents more than
the wesrer earns in month. Women,
by the way, are the laborers of the
island, and support the families, in
cluding the husband.

Steaming Corn Fodder,

An agricultural writer has said that
il corn stalks are steamed they will
be equal 10 ensilage. Ii is certainly
a remarkable statement 10 be made nj
this period of time. There can be no
possible grounds for such a conclusion.
Ensilage-as IL commonly exists in
this country-is not only valued for
its succulence. which no treatment of
dry forage could possibly equal, but
II contains corn, In greater or less
quantities. The purpose of ensilag-
irg is to preserve forage in a natural
ly succulent state. or practically SO,
because in that state, whether fed in
the field or from the silo. il gives
better results. Steaming corn stalks
can add nothing 10 their intrinsic
value, and if il cannot, we shall be
unable TO make them "a valuable as
silage 10y the process. 1t is claimed
that it renders forage more digestible.
This is an error. 1t makes the pro-
tein less digestible. Cooking grain
for animals is advisable, under some
conditions, but the advantages in
cooking grain do not extend TO cook
ing forage, aud especially not 10 the
extent that is claimed by the writer e
whom reference has been made. The
