Cutting Metals With Oxygen.

Diamond may cut diamond, but oxy-
gen cuts metal. The apparatus con-
s:sts essentially of a tube, with two
orandels terminating in blOwpipes,
moved along a guide in front Of the
metal plates or part to be cut at the
rate Of about six inches per minute"
One of the blowpipes delivers an
oxyhydrOgen flame, which raises the
metal where 1t Is to be cut to a tenn
pe~rature corresponding with dark red.
The following blowpipe delivers a jet
of pure oxygen. which enters into
combustion with the hot metal, thus
producing a clear channel like a saw
cut about one-eighth inch thick. the
remainder of the meal being unaffect-
cd by the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Circu-
lar Weekly.

TheStage

The best that has been here"
was the verdict of lots of Jeffer-
son patrons on the show Satur.
day night given by Miss Mildred
Holland. The Lily and the
Prince was a winner as an en-
tertainer. From the first to the
last the interest was wellsustain-
ed and the enlistment of the
emotions was so we'll achieved
that a number of wet eyes could
be seen over the house. The
play, however, ended happily
for all concernedand the pleasure
of the delightful little drama
was increased thereby. Miss
Holland herself is a fine actress
and she had the good fortune to
be well supported, which made
the rendition of the play a most
satisfactory and agreeable one
to the audience.

that no one can be buried without u

the attention of the authorities. | re-
member on one recent occasion l had
to hold an inquest on an Ian at the

"Mothering Sunday"

The fourth Sunday in Lent. which
is also known as "Simnel Sunday" is
called "Mothering Sunday" as well. In
many of the country districts of Eng
land the young people who are in SER
vice and various other employments
visit their parents on this day, and
the afternoon services are largely at
tended by girls and their mothers.
This custom is very strictly observed
in Monmouthshire and there is much
to be said in favor of it.

Clerks Reminder.

Some years ago, in the days when
the psalms were read in the church
of England, a service was being held
in a country parish in South Devon.
The parish clerk was slightly deaf.
From the reading desk the rector
could see into an orchard adjoining
the %churchyard. He had come to the
end of one of the psalms, when, in
stead of saying, GLORY be to the Fa-
ther," etc., he spoke as follows:
Farmer Thompson. I think it is only
right to let you know that there are
boys in your orchard stealing the ap-
PIES"
Wherupon the clerk: "As 1t was in
the beginning, SO it will be evermore,
world without end. Amen."-LOndon
Tattler.

Sometimes a mans brain plays him
queer tricks, as it gives some uncOn-
sciOus twist to thought or speech and
then straightway resumes it's normal
functions, leaving its owner greatly
embarrassed.
The case in point is that Of a rather
singular man who through = lonely
life became misanthrOpic and who
often, lacking other company. would
talk to himself. At all times he seemed
preOccupied, and, though possessed
Of a well-stored mind, he seldom

Twenty years or more of this sort
OF life had passed when one morning
as he was walking down a hotel cor
ridoT he heard Good morning, COL

consciously he said: Nov, who the

courtesy which is peculiar to the old

AS yet this Society has only
one building to which it can point
as it's correctional work for the
negro. Paine College at Augusta,
Ca, is the joint property of the
Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and the Colored Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Here
the negro is given a high grade
of instruction, and an equally
high standard of morality is
required. In 1902 the Home
Mission Society built an annex
to this college for negro girls,
where they are taught n%eatness,
order, and good work. together
with truth, honesty and purity.
The city mission board is
operating a free kindergarten in
Shearm Chapel. A wagon is run

ries children that are too far

delight to the teachers. There

EXPLANATION GIVEN.
By Superintendent Muller as to
why the Electric Lights Went
out Last Week.

There have been numerous
complaints about the electric
lights going out last week, es-
pecially on Thursday and Satur-
day nights. For the benefit of
all concerned the following state
ment is made: This was caused
by some one in town either at
taching some kind of electrical
apparatus that was out of order,
to the wires, or in some way get
ting the wires in their house
crossed.
In order to avoid any danger
to the dynamos the main switches
at the plant L so arranged that
when trouble occurs on the lines
or IN improperly fused houses,
they will open automatically, and
discOnnect the dynamOs from
the lines. This is what happened
last week and as fast as the night
engineer would close the switch
es. they would open themselves
again. and put out the lights.
The Superintendent of the
Plant would appreciate 1T very
much it persons using electric
lights or electrical apparatus of
any kind would report to him
Immediately upon the discovery
OF any trouble. In this way the
inconvenience that the other
users of electric lights are put
to, and which is more important,
the danger of fire, can be avoid

~PREAGER, The Tailor.
A Timely Move.

1t is proposed to hold a health
conference in Lafayette in the
near future. by the cooperation
of the health and civic author.
tiles of the town and parish and
State Board of Health.
This is an important and nee
essary step at this time. and
one that should be generally fol-
lowed throughout the entire
State, particularly those towns
and parishes which were infect
ed with yellow fever last summer.
1t will avail nothing to become
alarmed over the announcement,
but it may avail much to prepare
for a possible recrudesence of
yellow fever in some parts of
Louisiana. With what is now
known regarding the origin and
spread of that disease, it is only
those communities that wilfully
neglect the necessary precaut-
ionary and preventive measures
which will suffer on account of
yellow fever, and such neglect
would be nothing less than
criminal.
The purpose of the proposed
health conference is to arouse
the people to a realization of the
fact that if they will adopt and
carry out in an intelligent manner
the sanitary measures advised
by the health authorities, all
danger of an invasion of yellow
fever will be warded off without
ever again invoking the barbarous
shot gun quarantine, and much
more effectually.
With all our cisterns and other
watercontainers properly screen
ed, and the regular use of oil
in connection with accommodations
OF water which can not be drain.
ed, it will be impossible for the
mosquitoes to breed, and without
mosquitoes of the stegOmyia
variety, there positively can not
be any yellow fever. Let us
become educated up to that great
fact as quickly as possible, and
all work with one mind and one
will to Danish the dreaded yellow
fever from our fair land forever.

Evening.

Lord, receive our s~upplications for
this house, family, and country. Look
down upon ourselves and upon our
absent dear Ones. Give us health,
food, bright weather, and light hearts.
In what we mediate Of evil, Illustrate
our will; in what of good, further our
endeavors, cause injuries to be for.
got, and benefits to be remembered.
Let us lie down without fear, and
awake and arise with exultation.-

Contract Let for Road Work.

The Citizens Road Building
Association has closed arrange
mentS with Mr. O. H. Breaux, of
Carencro, to work and put in
first class condition the public
road leading from Lafayette to
Carencro. This action was taken
at a meeting of the Board of
directors held last Monday, and
upon the completion of this Sec
ton of road the other main roads
in the third ward will be worked
each in its turn, and with as little
delay as possible.
Until now the association has
been combining it's work to drain
age and temporary repairing
where most needed. It would
have been a waste of time and
money 10 attempt more than this
during the winter months, but
with improved weather con-
ditions it is the intention of the
association to settle down to
serious work, and with the prop
er financial backing from the
business men of Lafayette the
association will be enabled to
carry out plans which will ensure
good roads in the future, and
good roads the whole year'round
will prove of inestimable ad-
vantage to the merchant and
farmer and public in general.
