A new plan for retaining the charm
of youth has been evolved. 1t requires
a continual dieting, but one so easily
followed that few Of the Inconvenience
ufmost systems are present. Eat UNI
cOpked apples constantly, although, OF
course, in moderation. and drink dis
titled water only, and, according to the
new theory, years will be added to your
life while the evidence Of age will be
long in coming.
Professor Bluetern is tile sponsor Of
the new theory, and his argument Is
based on the superstition that as age adj
vances the deposits of mineral matter
in the system Increase, and that aging
Is little more tnan d gradu Il pro; 0
Ossifcation.
Phosph0ric acid contains the least
amount OF earth salts, and for that rea-
son IL probably the nearest approach to
the elixir OF life kd0wn to the scientific
world. z
II you want to live long, to retain
your youth ut the same Tune, and to in-
crease your brain tissue. eat plenty Of
apples don't peel theml drink only
distilled water, and eat as little bread
as possible. A diluted solution OF Dhos-
phoric acid Is also recommended by
the professor to those who care to take
pains TO follow the diet which he has
outlined. Philadelphia Inquirer.

There was a shooting scrape at
one of the grog shops in the fifth
ward last week, between young
Ramagosa and young Calais. six
shots were fired at one another
without any one being hit. 1t is
a wonder that Gbme good by stan
der did not getthe damage. We
believe that there is too much
fighting whiskey sold in the upper
part of the parish, and the sooner
a law DO passed to prohibit the
sale of liquor outside of incorpora-
ted and well policed towns, the
better it will be for the people in
general. Bad whiskey infused
into the system of a boisterious
and Disturbing fellow is always
sure to breed trouble, fight and
some shooting, as the fellow who
is a bully and makes free use OF
the brown stuff that goes up to the
Uranium, is always transformed
into a small artilry with lots firing
ammunition.

past few years, and particularly SO
in the line of agriculture, there is
hardly patch of liable ground
in this parish today which is not
under cultivation, and our people
are to-day thinking of retaining
every piece of land that few
years past was considered worth
less.
The development of the parish
has been so rapid, that now there
is no land that is not adaptable to
some CROP, and every inch of land,
will be producing some valuable
crops in the course of very short
time.
Our people have lots to learn yet
concerning agriculture, and every
time they come together to talk of
crop, cultivation, irrigation etc,
they are sure to gain some infor-
nation from the other planters
that will be beneficial to them, as
the exchange of ideas aud expe-
rience of the planters on the diff
ferent subjects of this vast agri-
cultural country, which such d.
versification of crops, is bound to
bear good fruit, and we are of
opinion that the planters in gen.
eral can never come together too
often. to discuss agricultural mat
ters, which is the first of all the
resources of this parish.
The farmers institutes should be
successful and every one should
take an interest in them to make
So, and every farmer in the parish
should be prevailed upon to at
tend the institutes and join in the
discussions which are held simply
and entirely for their benefit.

The Oil Fields Explored.
Contributed.

GOntriDuted.
The energy displayed by the d.
.rectors and owners of the Atcha-
;falaya Oil and Mineral Co, has
been fully rewarded. The policy
:pursued by them was not only to
talk of their gas aud oil holdings,
but they went straight to the hub
and wanted oil men Of the North
and West to visit their fields ut
their expense and have succeeded
beyond our expectation. Their
holdings are situated on the Atcha-
falaya River and Bayou Bouillon, a
stub of the Atchafalaya III st.
Martin parish and all the oil ex-
perts who have visited their hold
.iugs pronounced them first class.
Better than that. they have inter-
,ested, on very good royalty, such
men as Maxwell aud Sherwood OF
Beaumont, Texas, the Haywood
Bros, and Capt. Lowry, who en-
gineers the Hogg-Swayne syn
dictate deal with the Crowley peo-
pie, to enter into contracts to bore
for oil on their holdings within 40
days, or forfeit quite a sum in de-
fault.
Maxwell and Sherwood have al
ready commenced drilling on said
lands, with an outfit said to be SUI
.perior TO any ever brought South.
The machinery of the Heywoods
has already been shipped and
Capt. Lowry's contract was only
entered into this week. The stock
of Atchafalaya Oil and Mineral
CO., is not on the market, Ii is not
for sale, il is owned by some of
our most enterprising people who
seem to think they have good
thing. The directors of the Com
pany are II. Martin. DIR. Jos. s.
Martin, Sam Shelburne, Scott Kel-
so, Il. A. Davis and A. G. Goulas.
Besides this field we feel great
ly interested in Anse La Butte
where the Haywood Bros, are tc
commence boring next week and
where the Moresi's are actually
drilling for oil.
From indications st. Martin pa
rish has promises of being one Of
the greatest oil field in the coun.
try.

The closing exercises OF the
schools of the Convent of Mercy
took place at the College hall last
Sunday, and was complete sue
cess, the cool weather that pre-
vailed at the time encourage the
people to attend, and the hall was
as crowded as we have ever seen
it on such occasions.
The entertainment part was bet
ter this year than at previous en-
tertainments, the programme was
not too long and the selections
dances, drills etc, were new and
we'll rendered, and every one of
the young ladies and the children
did their part particularly we'll.
The entertainment was well ap-
preciated by the large audience,
and the children received numer-
GUS applauses.
After the entertainment, the
children were awarded medals,
premiums and certificates as a re-
ward for their good work during
the year.
The children and the Sisters oil
Mercy deserve congratulations, fol
the work they have accomplished
during the past school term, and
this good result may be an induce.
ment to make the term that will
open next September still more
successful in number of attendance
and in results.
