>Ne IN COTTON FIELDS OF LOUISIANA
- Parish Thinks 1t Has Solved the Cotton and Labor
Lame Farmers Pleased With the Experiment.

Sicily to work upon his cotton plan
tation. So he sent over to Concordia
parish ten Italian families. These
have been working this year upon the
$50 acre plantation of the genius in
question, and he is highly delighted
with the result. He says that the
Italians can sling a hoe in Concordia
as gracefully and effectively as they
ever slung the stiletto in Sicily. The
Italians, he goes on to say, are just
suited to the climate and soil, they
take naturally to the cultivation of cot
ton, and are willing to work when the
negro will not work, and can live just
about as cheaply as the negro can
live. In short, this genius thinks that
in the Italian he has found the ideal
laborer for the southern cotton fields,
and so strong is his faith in his
theory that he has just made arrange
ments to have ten more families
brought over from Sicily to labor
upon his cotton plantation.
His experiment will be watched with
interest.

1--WE arrived at the palace, and, oh,
stay there a month and still have lots
to see. | cannot describe One-half Of it,
as | have not time. but | never thought
there was anything so magnificent in
the world. We visited all the different
rooms with Il private guide. Nine. du
Barry's, Louis XIV. and all Of the other
historic chambers were visited. The
furnishings are splendid, and the gar
dens and fountains are kept up just
the same as in the days when those ia
nous people lived.
After leaving we halted and saw
the beautiful view from st, German,
which is hundreds of feet high. From
It the landscape OF all Paris and the
Seine, with its valley, lies before you,
and | can say it is most magnificent.
We then stopped at Aimenville and
from there rode to the Grand hotel
here Paris).
After Il short rest we visited the
cheaper part of Paris, where we had a
Moulin Rouge. where they give a vari-
ETY. performance. There is d prone
made there, where the ladies execute
that dancing which is known only in
Paris, and you cannot tell whether
they are on their head or their heels.
I'VE also visited the Cafe LIE Mort,
where the walters are dressed as I'M
dertakers and chant death songs as
you enter and each man holds wax
taper in front of him, with a coffin for
a table.
There were ladies there, all sight
seeing, and wondered how they stood
it. 1t gave me the creeps. Then we
visited other resorts, and l wish to say
right here | am for a liberal city; but,
being Il New Yorker, am glad New
York is not Paris. | would sooner have
the city at the bottom of the river.
I'm visiting around Paris l saw
few gentlemen who figured very promi-
nently in reform movements in New
York city. They were not personal re-
formers here by any means, so they
must need reform at home.
"While everything over here (Paris)
has been fine and it is great educa-
ton to see those places, for my part
we have been away long enough, and
now we cannot get home any too soon
to suit me- Ireland gave the impress
sion that if there was any good in you
it seemed to bring it out of you. Some
how or other feeling of sadness came
over me-
England gives commercial feeling
with their eyes to the main chance all
the time. The Scotch are hard people
to get talking to. Then they are all
kindness to serve you after you know
them if it did not cost anything.
"Paris-the less said about it the bet
ter for Paris, outside of its beauty.
But if "Old Nick" is allowed any free
dom on earth he has taken his holiday
In Paris"

VACATION PROPOSITION.
How 1t is Regarded in the East
and the West.

How 1t is Regarded in the East
and the West.
Those who seek token of the differ
ence in social conditions as they ex-
list in the eastern and western sections
of the United States will find it well
expressed in the customs which pre-
vail in each during the summer
months, says Harper's Weekly. In
word, the east considers summer as
a vacation period. The west accepts
1t largely as one of the four seasons,
differing from the other three only in
its degree of heat. Such a thing as
going away for two or three weeks"
the joyous announcement of the New
Yorker, for instance, has little echo in
a western Office, although there are
indications that the custom of grant
ing a holiday in summer is gradually
creeping westward.
The scope of the vacation proposition
Is very wide in the east, in New York.
From president down to office boy
every employee of a business estab-
lishment looks forward to a vacation.
The president takes it. The office boy
expects it and gets it. Whether the
period be accorded as a reward or as
an acknowledgment of a necessity is
debatable.
Saturday in the east has long been
considered half day." and little by
little it is passing entirely as a bust
ness day, especially in summer. But
the west continues to work from spring
to spring, with short vacations for
few days only and none for the great
army of workers. In England the idea
has still another quirk. There domestic
servants exact a vacation every year.
This is coming to be the custom in
New York.

New Danger to the Heron.

Surgeons have long been seeking for
some material for sutures and liga-
lures which should be more sAtisfac-
tory than those at present in use, which
include catgut, kangaroo tendon, silk
worm gut, horse hair and silver wire.
DR.. Charles f. Kieffer has recently
used and suggests in medical journal
that the tendons of the crane and
heron make excellent sutures and liga-
lures and seem to possess some ad-
yantages over the materials at pres
ent in use, says Forest and Stream.
Should these suggestions be generally
approved by physicians birds of the
heron group are threatened with new
danger. Some species of heron have
already so greatly decreased in num-
bers that they are even thought to be
on the verge of extinction, and all have
become much less abundant than they
formerly were The herOns are not
prolific birds. The danger which
threatens this group is thus a very
real one.

Pe-ru-na Brought Health

Miss Nellie South, late of Manchester,
Eng, writes from Sc Prince Arthur St.,
Montreal, Can, as follows:
"Peruna has made a wonderful
change i'm my life. 1t has brought me
health and happiness.
"Since my seventeenth year I have
had female complaint and Irregularities.
NY general health suffered, had pains
in my back and lower limbs, my eyes
were dim, and became morose and I'M
reasonable.
"Mother sought the advice of our
family physician, who prescribed for
me, but grew no better.
"Ithen read of Peruna and procured
q bottle. That one bottle was worth
more than all the DOCTORS medicine 4
had taken previously.

runa has been great blessing to me."-
Nellie South.
Miss Edna Moore, 46 Elm street, Buff

"I was great sufferer from systemic

The proposed amendment to the general railroad law, which has passed the Lower branch of the General As Sembly, is a measure which seems to have solid basis in favor of it's pass age. It is proposition which ought to be speedily enacted into law upon the broadest grounds of the public welfare We confess that we can see no reason to oppose the movement, for we believe our legislators can be trust ed to give the people what they want what the public need in transport ation. All that is sought, as we under stand it, is to prevent the cOnStruc- tion of railroads which have not been authorized by specific act of the General Assembly. Under the pres ent law any 25 men from outside the State can convene in lawyers office in the State, organize a company, or go through the motions, and build a railroad wherever they chose and equip it with either steam or electric ity; then bond the company, with all that that implies. The main object of the amendment is to prevent pro- motors from outside the State rushing in and getting hold of franchises for the sole purpose of making specula- tive footballs of men. AS the law now | is one of the companies could organize and parallel most of the existing roads. It could claim the right of eminent domain and proceed to take land.

The advent of warmer days brings with it the necessity for cool wears, for which necessity MeigS & Go. of Bridgeport have made ample provision in their unusually large stocks of summer suits and other wears. While many men will adopt the blue serge uniform for summer wear, many will place their hope of comfort in home spun suits, delightfully."- cool because of the porous character of the fabrics, and in suits of wool crash, which admits every passing breeze. Meigs & Go. exhibit most comprehensive as sortment of mixtures in the fabrics named, made in single and double breasted models, which are distinctive in style and fashioned to preserve their shape permanently. Happily, all sizes and shapes of men are provid. ed for in homespun and crash, as we'll as in blue serge suits, and the range Of prices makes it easy for every man to be comfortable the summer through. Straw hats are in evidence at Meigs & Go. $ in split straw and sennit and the new whole Sennet hats which are light weights, and in Mackinaw, Milan and Porto Rican weaves. Our coutribu- tions to summer comfort are found in the wonderful displays of negligee shirts, thin underwear, fancy hosiery and low shoes now to be seen at Meigs & Go. $. Visitors to the store are al. ways welcome.
