"DROUTH BROKEN"
Long Dry Spell Followed BY
Rain.

The drouth In Shreveport and vicinity
was broken last evening and last night.
The drouth having been broken, who
will save and preserve "the irsgmentsP'
The lorg dry spell was ended with
gentle rain-a moderate root searcner and
root soaker-which was welcomed.
The rainfall was not suffi ,isnt to MI
empty cisterns but the dust was laid and
the temperature cooled, considerably.
The drouth was broken too late for corn
which, except In spots, 10 a failure, as
crop. Cotton in the hills has suffered, bat
will be revived and stimulated with more
rain, for which the prospects are encour-
aging.
Cotton in low lands, streams and bot

be greatly benefited by the rain, but the
readers of the Caucasian should bear In
mind that trade will be affected 10 tn
proportion Of the loss, or the limited yiel'
of the crop In the hills.
The rain will stimulate the growth o
sweet potatoes and field peas, and 1t vii
give opportunity to the gardeners and tn
farmers 10 turn over and prepare SOM

There is general rejoicing over tn

BABsE1 IN HOT WEATHER.

Goodness aAN Diet Do Great Things
In Keeping Them Well. eASFsl
For every adult life destroyed by ex-
cessiye hot weather there are destroyed
at least ten childish lives.
Babies die like wilted flowers, and ig-
norance combines with unusual heat
to sap their feeble strength.
We want to impress on the mothers
and fathers Of children a few simple
rules.
First comes GOODNESS. Keep your chill
dren cool, dress them lightly and don't
nut warm covers on them at night.
Sponge them every day at least once
with a weak solution of alcohol and
water.
If they are on a milk diet, dilute their
food, giving them the same amount II
they appear to crave 1t, but adding wa
ter sufficient to make digestion easier.
Remember that it is important tc
give children pure drinking water wher
they are thirsty.
/ The youngest child should be taught
as early as possible to drink plain wa
| ter. Lf 4
The child cries because 1t is thirsty
the mother gives it milk to drink anG
perhaps destroys its life by oyerloadinI
its stomach when the heat makes eveI
ordinary digestion difficult.
Moderate diet-dilutedf food.
Light clothing, with the thinnest pos
sible flannel at night.
Frequent drinking Of water, pure ant
not very cold.
A thorough bath In the morning, wit
good, pure soap to keep the pores oper
A sponge off every evening in dilute'
alcohol or witch hazel.
/ No feeding between meals, no irreU
lar feeding of any kind.
The above simple rules will keep you
child healthy and may save its life.
Remember that heat affects childre
as it does you. Heat sends the bloc
rushing to their brains, excites then
makes them nervous and irritable. The
must lose their tempers, for they al
little and cannot reason. But 20
should not lose your temper. Don
, scold, don't whip the child becaus
Providence has seen at to send the me
curry up to 100.
Do for the baby dependent on yc
what you would like Providence to
for You. Be kind to Il. Keep it as CO
, as you can.-New York Journal.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
Mathematician Learned His Own
Talent by Means of q Cow.

Mathematician Learned His Own
Talent by Means of a Cow.
The retirement of Professor Thomas
c. Mendenhall from the presidency OF
the Worcester Polytechnic institute
has been a matter Of extreme regret to
educators, for he has long been regard
ed as one of the best mathematiciaus
I'm the country. He was himself long
ignorant of the possession of this talent
and only discovered it by the merest
accident.
Professor Mendenhall was the son OF
a poor farmer in Ohio and was at work
on the farm one day when resident OF
a distant village drove up and struck
a bargain with the elder Mendenhall
for the purchase Of COW.
"Now," said the visitor, Il must get
this cow home, but l can't take time to
drive her 20 miles ahead Of my team,
and she can't go fast enough to be led
behind. My lad. 1 will give you a dol
lar to drive her over to my place"
Thomas jumped at the chance and
the next morning started on his walk
barefoot before daylight. Arrived at
his destination, he received his dollar,
the first money he had ever owned, and
was Invited to stay overnight before re-
turning. On his way to his room he
passed book shelf on which lay Eu-
cid. He had never seen a geometry be-
fore, and something prompted him to
take this one down and look inside. He
carried the book to his room and pored
over 1t as long as his candle held out
Then he dreamed of 1t for the rest OF
the night.
In the morning he timidly' asked his
host II his dollar would buy that vol
ume. His Joy was so great at learning
that It would that he could scarcely eat
his breakfast, and he trudged home
perfectly happy with his precious vol
ume under his arm.
That was his first step In science, an6
his accidental introduction to Euclid
inspired him to work his way through
school and college and enter upon thu
life Of research which has placed hin
in the front rank of American scholars
He now has the right to place a lOni
string of honors and titles after hi
name and is a member of half dozel
scientific associations.-Saturday Even

THE CROPS AND TRADE
The DroCth the Most Severe In
Years,

This season has been one of the
most severe experienced in many
years, and the drouth which has
wrought destruction to the crops is
not confined u this section alone.
Corn is a failure except in few
localities, and cotton, while suffering,
will recover somewhat, out the yield:
must necessarily be limited, Hotwltt-
ing the representations of the spec :
ulators.
At any rate there is, uu fortunately,
a certainty that the farmers will not
have such crop as last year. when
corn was plentiful aud cotton sold
from 9 10 10 cents. List Fall in par
ticular, and last winter were the most
prosperous since many years aud
men realized more money from their
crops than they had possessed in
years. The colored people from the
country had 80 much money that
they spent it lavishlY and the trade
generally profited from the abund-
snce.
Last Fall and Winter were noted
for prosperity, but during this Fal
and Winter there must necessarily
be Limitation ip keeping with the
yield of the crops now growing.
These lines are suggested not in
croaking spirit, but rather as an cd
monition. The merchant aud bust
ness man who follow safe and con
sentative methods, will not overstocl
himself when he knows that the sup.
ply at the big centers is always with.
In reach, and he can order aud receiv
on short notice Whatever he ma.
need for bis trade.

Napoleon VI.

A correspondent Of the London
Chronicle who recently saw that head
of the house of BOnaparte, Prince Ma
poleon, as he is now called. in Brussels
describes him as a very handsome man.
He is tall and well made, the upper
part of the face being astOnishingly
like that of Napoleon 1, whereas the
lower, with its. sweeping mustache,
bears a strong resemblance to the
princes grandfather, Victor Emmanu-
ell III. Prince Napoleon. who is stu
dent, speaks English. Italian and Ger
man with remarkable fiuency. He is an
enthusiastic lover of pictures and BRIG
a-brac, but has little or no ear for mu-
sic. Should he ever ascend the throne
he would assume the title of Napoleon
vi and not Nv. for it is presumed that
although they never actually reigned
the prince imperial and the late Prince
Napoleon, like the DCc de Reichstadt
succeeded to the imperial dignity.

The subject Of the definite determine
ton Of death Is one of great impor-
lance, and new tests are from time to
time submitted. The latest one sug-
gested, as we learn from The American
X Ray Journal, is that Of Professor
Ottolenghi of the University OF Siena-
The professor is said to have "discov-
cred that, while it is easy to apply the
rays to the lungs of a person who Is
alive or In trance, 1t Is extremely ditii-
cuIt-indeed. practically impossible
to apply them to the lungs Of person
actually Dead The reason Is that
some intervening obstacle prevents the
rays from penetrating into the body.
He has repeatedly made test Of this
kind, always with the same result.
Professor Ottolenghi therefore sug-
gests that, as this test con easily be
made by any physician, it should IN
future be employed in all cases where
there exists doubt Of death.
