LoNaER LIVES.

We are told that the limit of human
life in these days is "three scores years
and ten,'' but If perchance, this period
is extended there must be some good
and potent explanation. 1t surely can
not be caused by neglect, as humanity
after all it's years of turbulent expert
ence, has condemned neglect and care
lessness. The law calls for careful
lives; the merchant demands careful ac-
countants and employees; the church
recommends a careful department; the
doctor knows that health is result of
care; the nation expects us ali to be
careful. Hence care is the great ele-
ment that protects and prolongs life
and property. Care means health. If
you live in a location where contami-
mated air visits your lungs you cannot
enjoy health. If your house is insani-
tary your health is endangered. Good
plumbing promotes and protects health.
Bath, the plumber, can save you ex-
pense and annoyance. Install a

How Dewey Swept Away the

Apropos of the dry docking of the

store the ship to fitness otter she made
that run upon the rocks in the chan
mel between the islands of Luzon and
Samar, there is timely tale about the
Hongkong dock.
When that dock was built, good
many years ago, there was not enough
doing in the line of work it was de-
signed for to make it paying invest
ment. It is a large dock, and cost a
lot of money. Matters dragged with it,
but presently the Spanish cruiser
Reina Christian, flagship Of the ad-
miral of the Dons in those waters,
came limping into port from Manila,
and made for the new dry dock as for
her natural home. After that, about
three times a year, the Reina Christ
ina, lame and halt, managed to get far
enough to sea to make the run to the |
island port, and always when she was
sighted off Hongkong the dry dock |
people knew that she would come to
them first thing. They came, in fact
to look upon the Reina Christina as
a part of their regular income-the
principal part of it. And while all the
English at Hongkong rejoiced at
Dewey's victory over Montojo's aggre-
cation of cripples and sheet iron gun
boats, the president Of the Hongkong
Dry Dock Company rejoiced with some
reservations.

BRAINY MEN.

It is whispered in political circles that
Hon. E. B. Kruttschnitt of New Orleans
NAV be candidate for governor
Mansfield Journal.
From information given by a friend,
who is generally reliable, it may be said
that Mr.. Kruttschnitt has no inclination
for the goovernorship. He is a great
lawyer, devoted to the practice Of his
profession. AS good citizen he is active
in politics and is the head of the Central
Committee. He was the president of the
Constitutional Convention. He is man
of brains, and such man would not
grovel in the political mire for position.
There are other brainy men in Louis
lana, Charles E. Fenner for instance,
but he is like Mr.. Kruttschhnitt, great
lawyer, a gentleman who adorned the
supreme bench, but who was succeeded
at the expiration of his term by gen.
tleman appointed by the governor. Judge
Fenner would never condescend to en-
gage in the style of politics which has
been reproach to Democracy, when
Democracy has been debauched in the
interest of the few. Indeed, the brainy,
big men in Louisiana, Democrats of the
old school, who prize honor and prin-
cip1es above the emoluments of an office
and its influence, would not venture, if
ambitious, in the arena political under
the present system, when the people, the
great majority of Democrats who vote,
are regarded as second hddlers to the |
play in which the few select are the chief |
factors in manipulating conventions and
in reWarding those who subscribe to
their schemes. But there is visible the
dawn OF better days when the brainy
men in Louisiana will be called to posi-
items Of honor and trust, as when the
great men whose names and deeds give
lustre to the history of Louisiana were

In Spain. while the Moors were In the
ascendency. luxurious hot baths were
established. They were used in CON
nection with the religious rites of Is-
lam. The IsIamites were required to
battle frequently. The manner of
bathing was as follows:
After undressing the bathes Is wrap
ped In WOODEN coat, sandals are put
on and he walks to the hot bath. After
thorough hot bath all parts Of the
body are rubbed. The soles of the feet
are rubbed with pumice stone, then the
body is anointed with oil and sprinkled
with perfumed powders.
When the Moors were driven out Of
Spain the first thing the people did was
to destroy the Moorish bath houses.
This was done because OF religious
