Severe Attach of Grip

CURED BY ONE BOTTLE or CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY.
"Whsn had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second Oney actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy" says Frank W. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville. N.
Y. This is the honest truth. at times
kept from coughing myself to pieces by
taking teaspOOnful Of this remedy. and
when the coughing spell would come on
at night l would take a dose and it
seemed that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and would 60 to
sleep perfectly free from cough and its
accompanying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. l had
no idea that it would or could knock out
the grip. simply because had never
tried it for such purpose, but it did

coughing the remedy caused it to moi

were far less severe. and had not used
the contents of one bottle before Mr.

THE HIGH WATER.

The water news are not encou-
raging, the danger line is reached
in several places, in New Orleans
the water in the Mississippi River
rs more than Is inches above the
danger line, this means that there
is danger to every section which
is protected by system of levees,
and those who are liable to be af-
fscted by a break of the levees,
should do well to get ready and be
prepared for any emergency.
In st. Martin parish the water
rs high, the swampers are now
floating timber in the high lakes,
which very seldom happen, and
the water has run high enough on
the prairie lands, to cause a large
number of our planters to remove
their cattle to higher lands, and
TO abandon their homes, and many
more are subject to the same con-
ditiop.
The water will continue to rise
for some time yet. and we can
look for one or two feet more than
the present stage Of water, and it
may even go higher than that.
The planters, we believe, are in
better condition now to stand the
trouble and disaster of flood than
they have been in the past, and
with their places surrounded with
wire fences, whicbis not damaged
by the water, they are in a posi-
ton to crop after the water re-
cedes, sometime they cannot make
corn after the overflow, but they
can always make good cotton
crop.
The people from the overlooked
sections have, some difficulty this
year that they did not experience
years ago, they find no more prai-
ries or open land upon which
to Craze their stock, every piece
of land is fenced in and under cul.
tivation, and they have to depend
upon the small pastures of the
high land planters. Lodging il
also difficult to get as in the coun.
try rs we'll as in the town, there
are no vacant buildings, everything
is occupied.
The number of people who have
settled on the lowlands of this pa
IRISH is very large, much larger
than the majority of people, ema
CINE, and if the water continues t.
rise and forces them to abandon
their homes, they can only be &C
comodated with the greatest diff

The Teche has been dredged
from New Iberia up to st. Martin
Vile, to little below the Burdin
saw mill, the dredge boat being
vet at work here, completing the
work, now what remains to be
done is the completion of the work
contemplated from here to the
Courtableau, or through the Babin
canal to the Atchafalaya, the time
has come for such improvement,
it must be carried out one way or
the other, and our people will not
rest satisfied until they see the
Teche what it was some years
past, at navigable stage, and at
the same time capable of furnish
ing our planters with large sup
ply of fresh water for rice irriga-
ton.
The matter of opening the Cour-
tableau into the Teche is concern
ing our friends in st. Landry, as
they seem to be taking a great
interest in the matter, one gen.
tleman from st. Landry, whose
name we have forgotten, was here
a few days ago, to look over the
situation, and he said, 81 am not
interested in any rice or canal pro-
ject, but /, with many other peo-
pie live on the Courtableau, and /
would not like to see that stream
run dry, by running its water into
the Teche, as would be the result
il the work contemplated was to
, be carried out.
We have also received a letter
from Mr.. Thomas II. Lewis, OF
Opelousas, which reads as follows;
IL have read with pleasure your
+ very conservative and well express
|. ed views upon the subject of re-
. plenishing the supply of fresh wa
: ter in Bayou Teche, by means O.
] canal proceeding directly from
:. the Atchafalaya River, to that Ba

long since advocated as feasible
The people of this parish would
be much gratified if they would
be relieved from the unpleasan
+ duty OF resisting the passage o
the Broussard Bill, measure t.
b which they will 60 any length t.
defeat"
We would not like to profit a
the expense of our friends in 81
Landry, and we are Of opinion
that we can arrange matters, whel
/ we get the proper surveys. tina
Z will prove as beneficial to st. Ian
q dry as it would to st. Martin. w,

the matter.

The repair of the famous -Hardwicke
tapestries by the women workers of
the Decorative Needlework society in
London is remarkable example of
what can be achieved by the needles
excellence" even in these days of the
needles degeneracy. These Hardwicke
tapestries are undoubtedly English,
and date from the middle of the ff-
teenth century. When committed by
the Duke of Devonshire into the hands
of the Decorative Needlework society,
they were literally things of shreds,
not even Of patches, says The Queen"
hanging in the strips into which Bess
of Hardwicke had them cut, when, by
her orders, they were ruthlessly torn
down from the walls of old Hardwicke
hall and hung (portions of them up
side DOWN on the walls of her new
mansion, SO as to make it habitable.
Little wonder that three hundred years
Of neglect, following on this initial
maltreatment reduced the magnificent
hangings to a mass of rags. in which
the design was in many places scarcely
discernible. They portray a series of
hunting scences, with dheir extraordi-
narily lifelike representations Of
knights and squires, country danes, re-
tainers and serfs, the fank of the vari-
Gus persons denoted, according to the
quaint fashion in the tapestries of the
time, by the relative size of the figures.
The dress of the period, the wonderful
colts of the ladies secured by dagger
like pins to their towering frames, the
equally curious headdEesses Of the men,
half hat, half turbap; the flowing
robes, some of them interviewer with
ciphers and heraldic designs, are all
faithfully rendered. rs

NOTES AND NOTIONS.


Lace covered buttons are dainty
finish to the sheer blouse.
German linens with a silk finish
stylish and serviceable frocks.
The prettiest of new coats has loose
fronts over an embroidered semi-fit-
ting waistcOat.
The elegante mondaine likes to ex-
press her individuality even in her hat

If the suit you buy now is to do
service in the fall. let it have long

Before you have your shirtwaist

New lace pins have coral roses for
heads and 1orgnette chain of coral
beads shaes honors with hatpfn
which has polished ball of pale pink
coral for top.
China silk is a favorite material for
short inside petticoats. They are gored
and run with lace insertions and the
lace edging is headed with tuckS or
more insertions of the lace.
Stein boards are popular places for
various sorts of decoration. Besides
the upper shelf. which holds several
stems, the board has wooden pegs
along the bottom of it. where others
may be suspended. IF the burned de-
signs are not admired the boards can
be bought without them and stained to

REFRIGERATOR HINTS.

Do not food 1t with boiling water.
Keep the ice compartment full of ice.
The more ice the greater the econ
omy.
Do not put hot foods into the refrig-
orator.
Ice-saving schemes are absurd, de-
feating the purpose of the refrigerator.
It is the food that is to be kept in
stead of the Ice. Keeping ice in the
sick room or at a picnic is another
matter.
Overripe fruits and vegetables are, a
menace to the health if left in the re-
:frigerator.
A cellar or other damp place is no
place for the refrigerator. On the other
hand, it should not be put out of doors
unprotected.
If much ice be used on the table and
for other purposes an authority advises
storage box for this extra ice.
1t should be sponged out often with
warm water in which a little soda has
been dissolved and the drain should
not be neglected.
Should ants get into the refrigerator
sugar and water should be placed
therein. 1t will drive them away.
Do. not think of covering the shelves
with cloth or paper any more than you
do the ice. There must be good circu-
latien, with consequent melting of ice
to preserve the food therein.
