An Extraordinary Country.

Louis Sherry, the caterer, tells an
amusing story of chef whom he
brought over from France. The
chef before his contract with Sher-
ry began lived in idleness for a
month in Brooklyn. During the
month he walked all over Brooklyn,
and he dined all over it as well.
What impressed him was the multi
tude of churches that he saw and
the uniformity with which every''
thing he, ate was served with a melt,-
ed butter dressing. At the months
end, when he reported for duty, Mr.:
Sherry said to him: "
"Well, Alphonse. you have had
month to look about you. What do
you think of America 7"
sit is an extraordinary country
Alphonse answered, ut has twenty
religions and only one sauce. -

A PATHETIC LETTER.

A pathetic letter was recently
written to the editor of the Chi
cage Tribune by broken heart
ed mother. In the letter this wo
man wrote:
l forgot my station in life and
came to Chicago to spend a day
with my son. He has forgotten
me, or tried to forget me- He
sent me from his Office with his
Office boy to dine. He promised
to meet us; came late and re
proved me because had not cho
sen a more secluded seat. He re-
proved me for looking around.
Finally he said: Mother, if you
had not come ! could have gone
to the opera. | left him then
and am now writing from the
rest room of a store, tired and
sick. | am going back to the
farm. | cannot forget the boy
who wore jeans clothes, but the
man who wears broadcloth wants
to forget his mother
There is in the make up of a
man decidly out of gear when he
can offer slight to the woman
who gave him birth. The man
who wants to forget his mother"
he may not know it, is
making rapid strides toward the
precipice. Bryan's Commoner.

Then morphine was administered

launched at Shreveport. Mr..
Blanchard is the candidate that was
selected four years ago by the state
administration for the Office of chief

are many other men in the state
who are just as well if not better
qualified for the Office, who are even
more popular with the people.

expressed in reference to General

The power to move vast audience
at will, to move it to tears and
laughter, to thrill it with emotion,
to make it hang breathlcssly upon
the lips of the speaker, and then,
as one man, to rise in wild acclaim,
is given to but few men. This
marvellous mastery over the human
heart was exhibited last night by
General j. B. Gordon in a manner
which proved beyond all question
his wonderful power as an orator.
Those who heard him as he drew Il
rapid picture of those last pathetic
but heroic days Of the Confcderacv,
who listened to the light touches of
humor with which he relieved the
more sombre aspects of the sad but
deeply interesting history, who felt
the hot tears rush to their eyes as
he pictured the suffering aud priva-

who we're thrilled by his touching
and beautiful tribute to the self
sacrificing devotion Of the Southern
women, who heard his glowing
tribute to Jackson aud Lee and

MAKE BRAINS.

The rainy spell which has been
on for several weeks, emphasizes
the necessity of good drainage. We
note that Main Streets one long deep
mOrass. Of course continual falling
Of rain will defy the best drains,
but there are intervals when the
water could be run off if there was
any provision made for it, We
notice that all the streets running
at right angles with Main street
could drain TO the Bayou, over good
large thing laid for the purpose.
The drains at the head Of Center
street, Bank avenue and Prairie ave
nue. could be laid across the prop
erty between these streets and the
bayou, thus draining lower Main
street, and the streets above men
toned These tiles could be placed
under ground and would in no way
interfere with the occupation Of the
land by private parties. The bayou
is the natural outlet for the surplus
water and should be utilized by the
city authorities, in the Interests of
the entire community. We trust
our city solons will look into this
matter and endeavor to lead off
tie water of orr streets to its nat.
ural drain, the bayou.
As soon as the streets dry snfii-
GENTLY IA road machine could be
used that would do the work of
fifty men, smoothing all Unequal
tiles and making good driveways
with bitches Oh each side. All this
at the minimum Of expense and

not to interfere with the travel and
constant traffic.

WHICH WAY ARE WE EDUCATING.
To the careful observer and earn
est enthusiast for higher and
better life on the farm, there comes
IA thought true and forcible, are
we educating toward the farm or
away from it, We LOOK at our
primary schools, our high schools,
and do we not see the tendency al
most wholly against the farmF
There is IL remarkable development
aud interest III agricultural educa-
ton in Europe, where it is common
for agriculture to be taught in
every grade, from the primary
school through the college What
is the tendency in this agricultural
nation of ours9 Too often, we
tear away from the farm. The
common school recruits the acad-
envy, the college, the university;
but does it recruit the agricultural
aud mechanical college, or do what
It ought to recruit the ranks of
good farmers! May we not hope
the time is near at hand when agri-
culture will be taught not only in
the common schools but the high
schools us wellY
Governor Heard says: "ls
there any good reason why this
farmers school, the country school
should not teach the farm boy ele
mcnts of agriculture; give him
some knowledge Of the technical
terms he must meet in farm jour
nails and farm books, and start him
on the road to larger study and
stronger love for farm life, aud
thus save him from deserving the
farm9 All over Europe there is
great revival of agricultural educn-
ton in the primary schools; when
that is done here, you will have
larger use and destiny for the ex-
pertinent station aud the agricul-
turaI college. "-Dr. G. W. BnrkeH,
