HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Ten Good Rules For the Preservn-
tion of Health.


The following ten rules, says the
New York Journal, have been compiled

ton of health:
1. Don't leave your rooms in the
morning with an empty stomach.
2. Never expose yourself to cold air
Immediately after you have partaken
Of warm liquid Of any kind.
8. Don't leave your abode in cold
weather without warm wraps around
your shoulders and breast.
4, Begin respiration in the cold by
breathing through the nose. This will
give the air a chance to get warm be-
fore reaching the lungs.
3. Never place your back near a heat.
ed oven nor against wall, warm or
cold.
6. Don't stand before an open win.
dow in Il railway carriage, nor take a
drive in an open carriage after violent
physical exercise.
Z, Don't remain mOtionless in a cold
room, and do not stand in an open
space, on ice or snow.
g. Talk only when you must, for the
old phrase, speech is silver, silence is
gold" holds good even in hygiene.
0. Don't put off your regular bath
When the skin is not kept fresh and
soft, the cold draws the pores together
and YOU are rendered susceptible tc
pulmonary troubles of all kinds.
10. Don't retire with cold or wet feet
Nothing prevents sleep with so mucl
certainty as the neglect of your peda,

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Guardians Fire Fighters al Their
Pest Again

EDITOR GUARDIAN:-The great
clock up in the steeple of the court
house had struck six, and the
hands on the dial pointed to nine
minutes past when a fire alarm
was turned in from East 10th
street. All traffic ceased at the
first sound, the electric cars stopped
in their tracks, as it were, timid
ladies were speechless, while the
bolder ones screamed screams
which most ofthe victims who live
on East 10th mistook for the fami.
liar walls that emanate nightly
from the neighborhood of the
Garden Grove Hotel.
The department responded with
will in answer to the call, but
they were proceeded by the small
boy, who was already there and
comfortably seated high up on the
telephone pole. Hook and ladder
No. 8, was preparing to scale the
roof of the old l6 to building,
now occupied as Chinese restau-
rant for the trouble appeared to
be inside that building, which was
true, but it was not fire that came
out as the sturdy firemen burst
in the front door, to the surprise
Of all present, but instead what
should come rolling out but the
Mascot of Stafford with the city
marshal all mixed with the ami
NAL.
Old "Chappo," the Mascot Of
Stafford, bad got on one of his
periodicals and most people in
that section thought from the way
he fought, bit, screamed, trembled
and scratched that he had the
delirium tremens. At this stage
of the game the old Mascot was
completely over-powered with ten
men on each leg and as many more
on each arm, with a few extra, for
good measure, on his face with hob
nail shoes. The old giant had to
succumb to numbers and was
placed on truck with capacity
of 3 IL tons. The procession
wound down to the dungeon, where
the bad man was chained to the
building outside, the space inside
being too small to accommodate
the mountain Of fresh aud frame
carried by old Cbappo, the Mexi-
can giant. The chief ordered the
hose turned on him, after thor
ougbly testing his bands to see
that he could not possibly get
loose, and it had the desired ef-
feet, for at daylight the fire had all
gone out in the old man. The
marshal turned the great key in
the lock which liberated the vic
tim, and he returned te the restau-
rant where he finished his meal in
peace and quiet, that he had
started in to. accomplish the even
ing before.
Another awful calamity averted,
traffic resumed, business normal,
the small boy hopeful, and all are
wondering rs to when the giant
will get on another "whiz" aud
another false alarm turned in
by old Chappo, the giant Mascot
of Stafford. FIREMAN.

How TO Clean Cut Glass.


Cut glass should have the greatest
possible care in handling. A wooden
tub should be used for washing, and
the water in which it is cleared should
never be too warm for the hands. The
deeper the cutting the more liable it is
to he broken. Cut glass should never
be left upon stone or marble. and in
rinsing the water should be of nearly
the same temperature as that used for
the washing. 1t should always be
drained on q soft towel or cloth De-
canters and water bottles often get dis
colored, but 4 soft cloth guided by n
wire will generally remove the scdi-
ment. When this is obstinate, bits of
paper with shot and strong soapsuds
will do the work. Beans are some
times used instead Of shot Glass that
is 0rnamented with gold should be
washed with CASTLE or a good white
sOap-that Is, a suds-and should be
wiped as dry as possible. All the fine
glass should be kept in a closed cab
met and handled very little \ damp
place is not advisable for glass, espe-
eially that with gold decorations.

THE STATE TREASURY CASES.

A mistrial in the Rush case, the in
dictment against Raiford mol pressed
because he turned States evidence
the one against Showers dismissed be,
cause he was not involved in the
100000 deal, and Banker Armistead
beyond the limits of Mississippi with
an indictment still pending against
him, is the summing up of those cases
in few words. The jury in the Rush
case, which stood three for conviction
and nine for acquittal, was out from
two o'clock Saturday until Monday
forenoon, and were discharged because
unable to agree and the case contin-
ued until next term.
Fully enough was brought out in
Witness Raiford's examination to
prove that there are others just as
guilty as he, Rush and Almistead for
the unlawful use of State money, chief
among whom is Ex-Treasurer Showers
and the Jackson banks, and it is hoped
District Attorney Greaves and the
next Kinds County grand jury will
take up the track afresh and bring in
other indictments.

JACKsoN,s REPRoACH.

Jackson is stirred to the depths by a
sermon at the Second Baptist Church
last Sunday night by Rev. w. P. Price;
and it ought to be, for the infamous
and shameful condition of affairs he
uncovered to the public gaze is enough
to agitate an Egyptian mummy. Mr..
Prices sermon, which is published at
length in the Clarion Ledger and en-
dorsed by the Evening News in a
double loaded editorial, shows by cit
ing facts, that the Capital city has
been practically turned over to the
blind-tigers, gambling hells and BROTH
els, while the public officials and the
moral and religious element of the
city stand back and look on in silent
acquiescence at this carnival of wick
edness and contempt for the law and
public decency. 1t is shown that the
officials, county and city, are crimi-
nally derelict in their duty, and that
the city police are in open league with
the criminal classes.
There are lots of good people in
jackson, but the trouble is, they don't
make themselves felt. Too many of
them sit back and wait for "the other
fellow" to take the lead and assume all
responsibility. The Jackson press and
some of the Jackson preachers are too
ready to speak in whisper or to hide
out when bugle call to public duty is
sounded like that Mr.. Price has given.
If the best element of Jackson would
come together and organize and elect
Tom Barr mayor and men like Judge
Brame, G. E. Wright and number of
others we could mention as aldermen,
with good city marshal, there would
be speedy change from the present
state of affairs and Jacksonians would
not be called upon to blush over the
disgraceful conditions now prevailing.

Prominent /. G. Official Talks,

From prominent official of the
Illinois Central road, who was in the
city Saturday, it is learned that the
company has purchased the logging
road of the Pearl River Lumber Com
pany, running eastward from point a
short distance east of Brookhaven,
and 1t is intended to extend the line to
Monticello, the county seat of Law
renee county, distance of twenty-five
miles.
A force of surveyors are now at WORK
running the lines and securing right
of way concessions, and it is expected
that construction work will be COM
menced by the first of August, and
the company will have trains running
to Monticello by the first of December.
The company is also arranging to
build a branch line extension to
Franklinton, La, connecting with the
main line at some point near Amite
City. Franklinton is the parish seat
of Washington parish, and, like Month
cello, is first-class trade and business
center.-C Clarion-L Ledger.

The Fourth at Bogue chitto.

L
The picnic at Bogue Chitto on the
Fourth, under the auspices of the
Bogue Chitto Picnic Association, was
very largely attended and very en-
joyable affair, barring the heat and
the dust. The grounds seem to have
been intended by nature for shady
retreat for pleasure seekers, and there
beneath the wida-spreading branches
of huge magnolias and beeches,
thoughtless or callous indeed is the
heart that does not silently offer CRATE
full tribute to natures God on a day
such as last Friday.
The program, as previously announc-
ed, was in the main carried out. Con-
sidering the large mixed crowd, the
order was well-nigh perfect; only two
or three small rows and cases of drunk
enness occurring on the outskirts,
which the officers promptly looked
after.
The only invited speaker who re-
sponded was Hon. J. G. Spencer, one
of the candidates for Congress, who
delivered an exceedingly entertaining
and patriotic Fourth of July address.
Congressman Frank McLain, to the
regret of his numerous friends, failed
to come on account of the late ad-
journment of Congress.
The prizes offered by the Picnic AS
sociation were awarded as followed:
For the winner in the cake walk con-
test-gentleman, walking cane; by s.

All in all the Bogue Chitto Picnic
Association is to be congratulated on
the success of this, their first effort to
furnish public entertainment. Before
another season, however, they should
make arrangements for supplying an
abundance of good fresh water on the
grounds. They fell far short in this
last Friday.

It's no fish story about those dead
fish in Harvey's Canal, New Orleans.
The canal is six miles long, and for
half this distance the fish are piled up
thick, and they smell to Heaven in the
hot July sun. People in that vicinity
are moving out. The Louisiana Cy-
press & Lumber Co. have put 75 men
to work at $3.50 per day, and all the
whisky they can drink to clear away
the putrefying masses of fish, that met
their death in the salty waves washed
up from the gulf. The odor is said to
be masterful, and the menace to health
is as strong. Barrels of carbolic acid
and lime are being used to relieve the
direful situation.
