LOUISIANA AT THE PAN
AMERICAS EXPOSITION OF
BUFFALO.

The director general Of the Pan
American Exposition has written
Gov. Heard, asking il he is favor
able to the idea of selecting date
to be known and celebrated as
Louisiana Day at the Buffalo
Exposition this summer.
Gov. Heard will place the mat
ter before the State Pan american
committee and with that commit
tee he will confer as to the date
and the most significant manner in
which to celebrate Louisiana
Day
The Governor is OF the opinion
that day in August should be Sc
lected, as during that month there
is likelihood Of a greater number
of visitors from this State being in
attendance at the Pan-American
than in any other month Of the
season.
II has been suggested by Gov.
H card that the exercises on
.Loaisiaaa Day should embrace
three speeches-one by.an Amer
lean. one by Creole ana one by
an Acadian, residents Of tbs State,
This would be Appropriate in'order
to distinguish between the three
historical colonizations in the Com
monwealti1.
Among the list Of products which
will be shown from this State are
as follows:
All varieties Of rice, from the
sheaf to the last product, including
the by-products. This exhibit will
not conflict with the rice kit
chen which, together with the
lumber products OF the State, IS to
be given special prominence at
Buffalo.
Every variety Of sugar, moiasses,
cane, cotton and cotton seed, with
their by-products.
All the cereals Louisiana raises,
including corn, wheat, oats and
forage crops.
Three kinds Of tobacco. In the
first division perfqneaH forms
to be displayed from carratte to the
fine-cut chewing and smoking, IN
cluding also perique cigars, This
exhibit will BE made BY Nj Beau
vais Of New Orleans, and promises
to be one Of the most novel at the
big show. Louisiana is the only
State in the Union. or, rather, tue
only place in the world where tlae
genuine perique grown and cured.
This produci is mainly cultivated
ID St. James parish, the particular
part OF the parish being the Vaohe-
rie II Grand Point. The 100 900
- Ids OF the black tobacco grown
aud sured il that section Of land
practically supplies the perilue
consumers Of the world
The second division Of the Louis
lana tobacco exhibit will embrace
! dozen or more varieties, Includ-
inc cigars made thereirom.
The third division will be the
yellow tobacco for chewing o.
smoking, after the order oi the leal
grown III Virginia and Moth Caro-
linz. The tobacco exhibit will Be
very complete.

Fishing Hooks.

Fishing hooks are as old as Adam,
made of stone, bone, thorns and any
old thing, not to mention deer horn and
boars' tusks. The bronze hook of the
bronze age was succeeded by the hook
Of iron. The aborigines Of Colombia
used gold hooks, while the ancient peo-
pie of Peru made theirs of copper. The
bronze hook Of today is considered an
expensive luxury. For years the most
important seat of fishhoo,- manufac-
ture was Limerick, Ireland. but the
once popular Limerick has been super
seded by several styles of American
make that are not only much cheaper,
but are not inferior. AS for our fine
ROOSEVELT. we have them from two
and one-half ounces up to ten pounds,
and some of them can be tied in bow
knots. OF course our lines are un-
equaled-New York Press.

wild ZeBras.

The zebra when wild is ferocious
animal, and an unwary hunter is likely
to suffer from its teeth and hoofs The
author of ''kloof and Karroo' says that
a Boer in Cape Colony had once forced
a zebra to the brink of precipce,
when the desperate creature turned up
on him, attacked him with its teeth and
actually tore one of his feet from the
leg.
Another author writes of soldier
who mounted half domesticated re
bra. The creature. after making the
most furious attempts to get rid of its
rider, plunged over a steep bank into
the river and threw the soldier as it
emerged.
While the man lay half stunned upon
the ground the zebra quietly walked up
to him and bit off one of his ears.

see the necessity, but of course, yield
ed to his wife. The next morning aft
er breakfast the Jenkinses assembled
in the sitting room with a feeling of
suppressed excitement at the novel pro-
ceedings. After the Scriptural reading
they knelt beside long sofa, Mr.. Jen-
kins at one end, Mrs. jenkins at the
other and Johnnie in the middle. Then
MI. Jenkins offered up q prayer nvok-
ing the divine presence.
Jenkins prayer was long and fervent.
After it had continued for five minutes
Johnnie got restless. decided it was too
monotonous and interrupted in his thin,
boyish voice with:
Yes, bod; come and stay to dinner!'
Mr.. Jenkins concluded his Invocation
with an abrupt "Amenw Johnnie safe

ed to his wife, That's the limit!''
