The Texas, and Pacifics New
Extension.

N, O. Picayune. Feb.l
Major Robert Strong. general agent
of the Texas and Pacific Railroad. is
home again, after trip to Red River
Landing. He says that the track has
been laid already between Newroals
and that point, and that the operation
of trains is aptto be- inaugurated now
at any time.
Il am unable to say" declared Ma
jor Strong yesterday, 'just when the
operation of trains will be commenced
butt will be very soon. The bridge
across Red river is rapidly nearing
completion. Already the piers have
been finished above high water mark
The chief trouble now seems to be to
secure the material for the steel and
iron work I believe. though, that the
bridge will be finished before high
water.
at is the intention of the company
to begin building down from Vidalia
as soon as the grading has been finished
between that point and Red river. If
the bridge is finished. work will be
prosecuted from both ends"
Major Strong is enthusiastic over
the prospects for this, the new extern
sion of the Texas and Pacific.
IL will open up four of the greatest
cotton parishes in the state be said.
"Concordia. Tensas. Madison and East
Carroll The work will certainly be
completed by next fall. aud we will
bring our share of the cotton to New
Orleans"

Three Cheers and a Tiger for
St. Joseph.
Tensas Gazette.

Tensas Gazette.
There is no longer doubt that the
dream of every progressive man in
Tensas is to be realized by the build
ing of "A trunk line of railroad through
the parish from north to south; plac-
ing US in the world; within seven hours
of New Orleans and twenty hours of
St. Louis; giving us two mails daily;
giving MS the New Orleans papers on
the day of publication; attracting capt.
tai and home seekers to our fertile soil
and genial climate and bringing in its
wake wealth, progress and new life
The only question now is as to wheth-
er st. Joseph and Waterproof. our tive
principal towns. are TO be on the line
of the road; Newelton. the only other
town in the parish. is on the line. and
if the road cen he induced to build into
st. Joseph the three towns will have d.
rect rail communication with each
other. for il is almost certain that if the
line runs through st Joseph it will go
east of Lake 81. Peter and therefore
within a mile or less of Waterproof.
Now. the railroad company has
agreed, that if the sum of ten thousand
dollars is subscribed and five mill tax
for ten years is voted by St. Joseph to
the road and the town uses its efforts
TO secure free right Of way for the
company through the parish. that the
line shall go through St. Joseph. The
town, though recently devastated by
fire and temporarily crippled finan-
cially has, with zeal and progressive
spirit most commendable, subscribed
the ten thousand dollars and will vote
the tax The only thing remaining to
be done to secure. the road TO St.
Joseph. and probably to Waterproof
also. is to secure the right of way. The
town appeals to The Police Jury and the
people of the parish to aid IN this work
1t is felt that this is not matter that
concers the people of St Joseph alone.
but that all the people of reusas have
a direct interest in it St. Joseph is
the parish seat, where every citizen
must come as taxpayer, ltigant. wit
ness or juror; where. all public meet
iBgs are held, where the Police Jury.
the School Board and the Court sit for
the transaction of the public business.
The public property is here. including
about 100 acres of land, all susceptible
of sale for town lots. and which will be
very valuable if the railroad comes
into the town., The ST Joseph Bank
is here. the stock of which is distrib-
uted among citizens living in all parts
of the parish. If the road comes, a
will certainly be built here.
our people TO- sell their cotton
to home buyers gsf.
Taking these things into consideration
the Gazette earnestly suggests to the
Police Jury to hold a special meeting
and to guarantee to the railroad free
rights of way through the parish, feel
ing that such action on their part will |
meet with the full and cordial approval
Of all the people of Tensas.
The police juries of Madison and
East Carroll parishes very recently
met and took similar action in regard 1
10 rights OF way through those parishes
and we confidently believe that our
Police Jury will be equally progressive
and public spirited. =

says one Of Philadefphia's
trained nurses in the. Philadelphia
Times, @but know more than one
woman who would be better, physi-
cally and mentally. if they did not
stay ia the house so much. The
staying indoors habit is a very in
sidious one; the more you give way
to it the less inclination you have for
going out. fhe result is that the
stay-at-home victim becomes neuras-
thenic, low-spirited, morbid and
irritable. / know women who stay
at home through sheer Incidence; ,
they hate to stir out of their rocking
chair and to go to the trouble of get
ting dressed up. Very many women
are kept indoors on account of the
pressure of domestic duties. and still
Others have dread, more or less i'll
founded, of exposure to the weather.
1t pays every woman TO get out of
the house into the fresh AIR and sun
light; to take brisk, long walk.
Street ears have spoiled women they
think they must get into a car to ride
a few blocks. The art of walking
among city women at least, is rapid
ly becoming lost art. Woman, too,
are all the better mentally for ming
ling among people, getting into
crowds, seeing new faces aud new
scenes. 1t Is a great deal better for
q woman to let the dust accumulate
on the furniture than on herself, and
a cobweb had better be in the corner
of the room than on her brain, not
withstanding that cleanliness in
cardinal Doctrine of the nurses creed.
One of the distressing symptoms of
neurasthenia is chronic state of
evil foreboding The victim OF nerves
studies herself, her ailments, her
wants, her loneliness, or she is for
ever anticipating trouble for herself
or for her children. Living so much
within herself, 1t is for her to fall into
a habit of brooding over troubles,
real or imaginary, often the later.
This condition of worry not only
works injury TO her health, but re-
acts upon her disposition, her ideas
become narrow and insular, and she
loses interest in and sympathy with
others. The home is no longer
pleasant place for anyone within 1t
and least OF all for the sufferer,
whose unhappy condition might (al-
though she would not probably be-
lieve it) be traced to her own mis-
take in persistently ignoring the call
of nature for sunlight, pur air and
innocent diversion.
