deavors to secure from the State

order to avoid these practices, and
We in no wise hold him responsible
for the conditions as now exist,
and it is for this reason that we
have made the recommendation tina,
the Police Jury provide some meane
to avoid and make impossible the
present conditions now surrounding
the Jail. We respectfully recon.
mend that they either order q fence
of sufficient height and Of sufficient
distance from the Jail, to be con-
structed, or provide strong screens.
with closely woven mesbes, to be
attached to the outside Of all WIN
dows, and to extend some two or
three feet out. And, until some
means has been provided by the
Police Jury to prevent parties on
the outside from passing articles to
their friends on the inslde, we
earnestly request the Sheriff to
keep look out for all parties who
communicate with prisoners, and
as far as II IS in his power, TO pre-,
vent this practice.

Paris, February 9.
The steady rise in the price OF sugar has upset
the budgets OF many a thrifty Partisan house
keeper Prior 10 the Brussels Sugar Convention
sugar was regarded in France almost as a luxury;
the retail price having been S5 cents the klo-
gram After the convention of 1902 the price
fell to u cents per kogTa1n. The popular taste
for sugar was acquired, and sugar chocolate, jams
and sweetmeats were distributed in the public
schools and in the military barracks with lavish
hand. In the year 1902 the total consumption OF
sugar in France was only $1,000 tons. In the year
following the application of the Brussels Conven-
ton QsOS) these figures went UP with bound to
This increase is still maintained. notwithstanding
the temporary rise in price owing TO the partial
failure OF the beetroot crop.
The masses Of the population now regard sugar
as necessity. a great deal of glucose is used
absolutely prohibitive prices can now prevent the
Partisan workman from having his daily supply
Of sugar, the consumption Of which is attended by
a. marked decrease in the drinking of alcoholic
beverages. During the last few weeks the prtce
Of sugar in Paris has gone up to II cents per
kilogran.
To the thousands Of mothers who have young
families to bring up very small incomes this
change in the condition Of the sugar market meant
q great deal more than might be imagined In
no city in Europe IS the of living so high as
in Paris. With the heavy octroi dues levied on
all commodities at the gates of the city the in

It is said that the real homemaker is who
can take the poorest materials, and out Of them
evolve by some intuitive genius beautiful home
atmosphere. I like to think OF womans life work

sacrifice are woven in and out by each member Of
the family. AS the days pass the pattern grows in
