To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old. we would suggest that trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because 1t
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 1oc package con-
tains 16 .ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. 1t is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.

On the Eve of a Boom.

The word boom is so intimately
associated with good times in mining
that most persons who have lived in
Colorado for many years have their
ears close to the ground listening for
the approach of a mining excitement.
1t is true that the reaction from the
exaggerated interest developed is very
depressing and yet those in whom the
speculative tendency is largely devel-
oped always think their chances bet.
ter in boom times and hence are anx.
ious to see them developed.
But the solid foundation of activity
that produces, without many brass
band accomplishments. an influx of
capital and an output of ore is the
only boom of any enduring benefit.
And Colorado seems just now on the
eve Of such period. = Mining Re-

The New Comet.

Scientists tell us that il we look
long and intently up into the south.
east corner OF the iieayebs, a fine pros.
porous comet. sporting two tails can
be seen. and although it is travelling
at the rate of several million miles
a day, it appears to stand still. Just
now, it is rather high up in the hori.
zon and is travelling dowuwards, to.
ward the land where the earth and
sky meet.
There are no terrible stories to re-
late about this comet, for it is still
a very young one, having been dis.
covered only few years ago when it
made its debut with only one tail. In
the interval it hsa expanded by, tack
ing on another trail of fire. 1t is due
to come again in fifteen years, pro.
vided nothing happens to it in the
meantime, and when it does come the
next time, it is expected to be much
larger. so much so that it is apt to
be attempting TO butt into our sphere.
Scientists are much preplexed at
the sprouting of the additional tail to
the comet, and, speaking in plain
terms, it is supposed th at the youth

quantity of loose plumber lying around

things, it quickly appropriated the

Way. and the two tails are necessary.
Comets used to scare people pretty

Last Tuesday he sent us half-a-
dozen nice large figs of delicious
flavor-the six entirely filling an
ordinary dinner plate, being from
a variety heretofore unknown
here. We learn that the tree
was propagated from a cutting
brought from Italy by a relative
of Mr.. D., who had introduced it
in that country from Sumatra
many years ago. The tree is of
good size, bears continually from
June to November, and with every
leaf has a fig; on the same tree
can be seen the bud, the half
grown fruit and the fully matured
fig at one time. Such a fruit is
invaluable, as it requires no trou-
ble or expense to cultivate and
the flavor is delicious.

"Where Are We ATT"

The Colfax Chronicle is not in
favor of primaries for the nomi-
nation of State officers. 1t says
of the primary election law:
"Some of the State papers make
the mistake of supposing that we
have in Louisiana a primary cleo
tion law. This is grave error.
We have a travesty that some
suppose is a law. It cannot be
enforced, nor is there any PEN
atty attached to it's violation. It
is a fraud, and the father and in
stigator of fraud. Those guilty
of making this so-called law de-
serve the quiet of oblivion. Some
day Louisiana may have primary
election law, but it has yet to be
made. .
Assuming that the Chronicle
knows whereof it speaks, the
question arises, who is to blame
for the "travesty" on the statute
books? There were ardent adyo-
Gates of an honest primary law il
the Legislature when the "trav.
esty" was passed, and it is moi
fair to charge them with double
dealing in the matter. The pas
sage of the ''fraud," then, mus
have been the work of the advo
Gates of the convention system
Of course they don't want pri

A Worthy Institution.

We have received the following
communication, signed by the Off
GERS of the Eye, Ear, Nose and

and respectfully direct the atten-

New Orleans, July Z, 1903.
Editor COURIER: We hand OH, herewith, the
18th annual report of the Eye. Ear, Nose and

This hospital was organized in July, 1889, and
is dependent mostly upon the charity Of this
city. Since it's organization it has given treat
Ment to 66,61S poor people, TO whom 464, OIL con-
sultations were given, and on whom IL l91 OPP
patients mentioned above 14.654 were from the
country parishes of Louisiana, excluding the
parish of Orleans.l We refer you to pages 40
and Il of the report for further particulars.
Tho growth OF this hospital has been 30 rapid
that the building is too small to accommodate
the large number of patients who call daily for
treatment, and we are. compelled to procure
other quarters to meet the exigencies.
We are appealing to the Police Juries OF this
State for assistance, and we respectfully ask
that you hse you influence to induce the at'
thorities Of your parish to make yearly con.
tribntiOn that will enable us to continue this
charitable work.
We find by the 18th annual re-
port of the institution that 800
patients from St. Landry had been
treated in this hospital up to Dec,
81, 1902.

Strange Birds.

Mr.. A. P. Ledoux brought to
our Office last Tuesday two strange
looking birds which he had killed
in his field among a flock of larks.
The birds are trifie smaller than
our field larks, and resemble this
bird in all respects except in color,
being bright golden yellow on
the body and legs, and beautiful
cream eolored wings, head and
tail, without any of the marks or
spots Of the lark. Mr.. Ledoux
states that these two birds. were
among flock of larks, but that
the latter were fighting the strang-
ers. No such bird was ever seen
here before, and it is supposed to
be cross between the lark and
some other species. Mr.. Ledoux
is an old hunter himself, but he
admits that this is new one on
him in the bird line.
