Pourpier Blanc.

We have interviewed several OF
our rice people during the past
few days concerning the "Pour-
pier blanc" (purslain) we believe
is the English name, which Is
proving a curse to the rice cultl-
walton in this parish.
This plant seems to grow more
outhe low lands of the east side
of the bayou than in other places,
in fact we have not heard OF it on
the west side yet.
This "Pourpier" grows in water
late in the season, and the last
cutting of rice. and particularly
the Japan, is SO full of this grass
that it cannot be stacked and
threshed with advantage, this
grass is full of humidity and hea-
Wy and Will keep on growing Ill d
slack of rice even after being
cut, and when the rice is threshed
particles of the grass will remain
in the rice, heat and spoil it in a
very short time.
The question of getting rid or
destroy this injurious grass is of
great importance to the rice grow
ers, and it should be discussed.
Some of our rice planters are of
the opinion that the only remedy
for rice infected with this trouble
some grass is immediate milling.

The Best Remedy for Group

From the Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe.)
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
Is In demand in every neighbOrhOod.
One Of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
Of the night by whoOp from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be Old-fashiOn-
ed remedy for Group. known as hive
syrup and tOlu, but some modern mo-
theirs say that Chamberlain's Cough Re-
NEEDY Is better. and does not cost so
much. It causes the patient to throw
up the phlegm" quicker, aud gives re-
lief in shorter time. Give this RENE
dy as soon as the crOupy cough appears
and 1t will prevent the attack. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

Progressiveness and Prospect
ty GO hand in hand.

No town or community can lay
claims to be progressive unless
they can point boastfully to their
splendid schools, to their electric
light and water works.
With good school you grow an
educated intelligent community,
of people who are progressive and
who will develop the resources of
the country, build new industries
and expand its trade and COM
MERGE. And everyone of our peo-
pie are today realizing the neces-
sity of good schools.
Electric lights will display every
night our progressive spirit and
add convinience and comfort up
on our streets, in our business
houses and in our homes.
Water works will also add great
ly to our comforts, will supply the
poor with a good supply of water
during the dry seasons and will
protect the whole town against
fire. Those who are unable to
carry insurance to protect them
against fire losses, will be to a
great extent protected by the wa
ter works.
Those who are in favor of these
progressive institutions, will walk
to the polls on the 18th of Decem-
Der and vote for the school tax,
and on the 26th of December,
again go to the POLLS and vote for
the Water works and ele ctric light.

Reckless Use of Explosives.
Daily Picayune.

DoiiS Acoyuhc-
Everybody in this city knows
the "parlor match" 1t is not a
matrimonial match made in the
drawing-room under the light of
the chandelier, but it is small
stick with little lump of combus-
tible and explosive matter at the
end of it. 1t makes quite a noise
when it is lighted, and is in al
most universal use in New Or
leans. chiefly because it is free
from sulphurous fumes when burn
ing.
Well after Jan. l next, this lit
tie match is under the ban of the
law in New York city. After the
LIST of January next carrying par
lor matches or keeping them in
ones house is to be prohibited.
Amy firm storing, selling or giving
them away will be subject to ar
rest.
Parlor matches came under the
classification of dangerous COM
bustibles, the use of which has
long been violation of the law

as set forth in the city charter,
but a provision of the charter al
low the Fire Department to regu-
late the use and sale of combusti-
bles. The department heretofore
has issued permits for the sale of
matches.
The New York Fire Commits
sioner has discovered that more
than 10000 fires were caused last
year by parlor matches, and has
declined to issue permits for the
sale or manufacture of them after
Jan. 1. The use only of the old
fashioned sulphur matches or of
safety matches, which will ignite
only when struck ON the box, will
be allowed in that city hereafter.
The decision of the Fire Com
missioner was published in the
City Record last May, but only
became generally known recently,
when Frank S. Gardiner, secreta-
ry Of the New York Board of
Trade and transportation, sent
formal notice to the merchants
telling them of their liability to
arrest in case they keep parlor
matches after Jan. l.
There is too much laxity in the
laws relative to explosives in ci-
ties, and the laws, such as they
are, but too often are carelessly
administered. The terrible loss
of life and destruction of property
in little town near Birmingham,
Ala, revealed the fact that there
were fifty cases of dynamite stored
among the freight in The railroad
depot. But nobody takes warn
ing at such a frightful affair, and
people continue to handle with
the some carelessness and indiffer-
ence dynamite, nitroglycerine,
gunpowder, gasoline and other
dangerous substances, and it must
be considered as a miracle that
dreadful accidents are not more
frequent than they are.
