Senators stand as firmly together
as heretofore. The President sees
the utter hopelessness of securing
reciprocity for Cuba at this session
and is now considering the nego-
tiation of a treaty with Cuba, SO
that benefit may be rendered them
in that way. He hesitates, how
ever, to so commit himself without
the assured backing Of the Senate.
This is by no means to be counted
on though, for he wants to count

FOR LOUISIANA WAG.EARNERS.

j. d. Patterson, representing
Typographical Union No. II, and
Chris. Ehren, of the Pressmen's
Union of New Orleans, called upon
the Governor this morning and
laid before him their proposed bill,
which provides that the books used
in the public schools of the State
shall be printed and bound in
Louisiana.
1t is not proposed to interfere
with the present contract, but to
effect four years hence, at the close
of the present contract. Some con-
ception Of the Importance of this
measure may be had when it is
known that the State spends an
nually, 100000 for these books,
which would mean, approximately,
1925 900 yearly to wage-earners
1t would not mean additional cost
to the State, for book work is paid
for in Louisiana by price rate
that maintains pretty much in all
parts of the country.

A PRAYER.

Little girl was spending the sum

place, and one morning as she
played upon the veranda of the
hotel where her mother was stop
ping she heard a lengthy converse
ton upon the fashions of the day
and the absolute necessity of sly.

be success in society. One lady
went so far as to say that stylish
ness was far more important thar
beauty.
That night as the child said hel
usual prayer she added with grea
earnestness, "And, 0 dear Lord
do please make me stylish"

TEACHING A LOVE or AGRICULTURE

A village school III Illinois Is
making "A very decided success OF
teaching agriculture IN the publlc
schools. The pupils IN these
SCHOOLS were awarded trees as pre-
milFms for essays were prepared
and the awards made before Arbor
Day so that each boy aud girl
m'alt celebrate that day by plant
inc tree Of his own. This year
800 boys and girls prepared essays
aud most of them received fruit
trees as reward.
A wide range Of subjects were
treated by these youthful agrlcul-
turists. They studied deeply into
the uses, habits, growth and pro
per culture Of all sorts OF fruits,
vegetables, flowers and trees aud
then prepared their essays III the
school room in the presence Of the
teacher without any help whatever.
In many eases not only the writers
own observations and experiences
with the plant i'll question were
given bnt the process of cultivation,
the use and value and entire his
tory of the plant from It's origin
were related III Il manner showing
much researches aud perseverance.
This practlcul way of teaching
agriculture aud botany all IN one
can be readily introduced IN any
school when the teacher has Sutli-
cient interest to work the matter
up. 1t makes Il delightful aud re-
freshing change to the scholars
ordinary course of study and awak-
ems an interest in nature and her
products. The good results are
not limited to the scholars, but the
questions they ask of parents and
friends while seeking the desired
information often awakes their IN
tcrest in the subjects under discus
sion, and in this way valuable
knowledge is acquired by the elders
as we'll as the Juveniles and a love
of nature promoted in both. This
paper would like to see something
of this sort tried in the schools of
this locality and see if the results
are as good as other places claim.

ROBBlNG THE PENSIONERS.

Strange to say the House has
passed Mr.. Friedrich S Bill, pro
vding for the payment Of salary
of $3.50 year to each of the three
Pension Commissioners aud for an
increase in the salary Of the Sccrc-
tary. These are small sums but
they come ont of a small fund,
every dollar of which is needed by
our manned and needy Confedct-
ate Veterans. Those who favored
the bill showed that the Secretary
of the Board was Il manned Con
fcderate, that he was required to
draw the warrants for the whole
fund, and that additional labor had
been imposed upon him by the IN
crease Of S25 900 i'm the amount Of
pensions to be distributed and that
the Commissioners, who lived at II
distance from the capital, ought
not to be required to come to Baton
Rouge three or four times a year to
the neglect Of their business affairs
without some slight compensation.
The answer to such argument is
that all the warrants could be
drawn up in few days and that a
clerk in one of the departments
could be assigned to attend to II
without neglectlng other duties.
There should be no burden laid
upon this fund. If the COmmiss-
toner's cannot give few days to
this small business without pay,
we can easily find many good and
efficient ex -Confederates who will
gladly attend to it in memory OF
and affection for their old com.
rades. In other Southern States
not dollar is paid for the assign
ment and distribution Of the pen
sion fund. 1t is made the duty oil
the Secretary of State to attend tt
it gratuitously, and the probate
| Judges, and judges in ordinary, are
required to make the distribution.
They do it gladly and without pay,
just as they would devote some
hours or days to any other work OF
charity. 1t is a shame that here
in Louisiana the pittance intended
for our old heroes should be sub
mitted to rake off, just as if it
were job for the benefit Of polltl-
cal heelers. Hem.

THE RICE MARKET.

While it cannot be said that
there is any material increase OF
activity, the movement continues

be reported that June is keeping

the tenacity with which the re

the stock is large, but it is ronccn-

have pooled their issues, or are act

ability to hold, it is more than
likely the market will be fed IN

so, hardening values vii! be OK

There is certainly no over-supply,

remember "times have changed

Down III Georgia, according to
my friend, Captain Lyerly, who

is noted for his love Of ease, but
whose wife is sufficiently hustler
to almost maze up for his chronic
Discrimination to activity.
One cold night he went to bed,

doors which should have been
placed in the barn for protection
against the weather, to say nothing
of thieves. But then, they don t
have many thieves IN Georgia.
During the night the hero OF
this story awoke and thought that
he heard something which sounded
like rain. He was anxious to know
whether 1t was raining or not, Tor
if If were, he wanted IN oppor-

II a man is bitten by tick and
dies Of blood poison, is death acct
dental within the meaning Of the
law which regulates insurance
against accident' This will prob
ably be the syllabus of a learned
decision by the Supreme Court of
Tennessee in the near future. A
man in West Tennessee plastered
his life with an accident insurance
policy. He went over into Arkan-
sas, and ont into tho wilds, and
while there tick got next to him,
bit him, and in short while blood
poison set in and the man died.
The insurance company refused to
pay the policy on the ground that
death was not accidental within the
meaning Of the policy issued. Suit
was instituted by the benefciaries,
and the case is now pending. The
pleadings in the case have failed to
reveal the particular kind of tick
which has thus made the whole
tribe subject Of judiciary inquiry.

various species Of dipterous in

worse aud moro virulent than

There is to take place in Miller
county, New, this month what is
described with pardonable excess
of superlatives as ''most unique
picnic" In 1855 man named
Wilson died, and was buried in a
cave with a demijohn of whisky in
his coffin. 1t was his dying re-
quest that at the end Of seven
years his coffin should be opened,
the demijohn be brought out, and
at the mouth Of the cave where he
lay buried his friends should gath
or and enjoy so much dancing,
feasting, drinking and laughing
that his spirit would join in the
revelry. The end of the seven
years came just in the middle of
the civil war, and the demijohn and
cave and Wilson's last request
were forgotten. Since the end of
the war Miller county people have
been planning to hold a picnic, at
which the demijohn should be
opened, but the idea has never
been carried out. Now grandson
Of Wilson's living at Brumley,
Miller county, has taken the matter
up, and proposes to hold picnic,
to which all the people of Miller
county are invited.
