Domestic Hint.

You can always tell whether a
man is married or single when you
see him go through a screen door.
If he is married he approaches the
door cautiously, glancing nervously
around, then takes off his hat, and
swipes it up and down the door
two or three times He then quickly
opens the door about two inches,
squeezes himself through, and closes
t with quick snap. The length of
time he has been married may be
determined by the degree of fear
and nervousness indicated in his
countenance.-Athe Post.

Methuselah took us down back of

full pyramid that rivaled Cheops'.
Who built this?" we asked, in
awe.
II did," replied the old man, with
a low chuckle.
But where did you ever get so
many blocks of stone?"
Those are not blocks of stone.

New Variety of Alfalfa.

Several new varieties of alfalfa,
brought from Arabia and the steppes
of Siberia and Russian Turkestan,
where they have become Injured to
drought and alkali, have been intro
duced in the belief that they can be
profitably crown in some of those re-
gions of the United States where
good fodder is impossible to grow.
Alfalfa is probably our most popular
forage crop. California obtained it
from Chile in the sos, and Chile
probably had obtained it from Asia
Minor or Arabia.

Handling Vicious Horses.

A balky horse can be cured, when
under the saddle, by very simple
method. Turn him around and
around in his tracks few times and
then suddenly straighten his head
and he will willingly, and even glad
ly, go forward. This was the method
of the celebrated John s. Rarey and
has never been known to fail.
The "jibbler" differs from the balk-
er inasmuch as his so-called vice is
caused by congestion of the brain.
The horse thus affected is liable to
bolt or run away after one of these
attacks and is dangerous animal.
Rearing, though commonly termed
vice, is often caused by too severe
curb. Sometimes the rearing horse
loses his balance and falls backward.
1t is needless to say that the rider is
then lucky If he or she escapes with
out serious, If not fatal, injury. When
the horse rears loosen the reins and
speak to him in a soothing tone, but
If he persists give him sharp blow
between the ears with the butt of the
Nhip' hio Will pllub MN uOWu Oh
all fours with amazing quickness.
Kicking is certainly a vice. Some
times, however, it is caused by fear,
in which case much can be accom-
plished by gentle management. Ex-
actly the opposite treatment of the
rearing animal should be applied to
the kicker. Hold his head up with
might and main, for the horse cannot
throw out both hind legs at once
when his head is elevated. Kicking
straps are what the name implies. A
strap fastened to the shafts over the
horses Group prevents kicking, but
this is only serviceable when driven
in single harness. Shying is a dan
gerous fault. 1t cannot properly be
termed vice, as it is generally the
result of defective vision. Gentle
treatment, soothing words and pa
tient persistence in accustoming the
animal to the dreaded object will Of
ten effect cure. To lash horse be-
cause he SHES or is frightened only
aggravates the evil. He will asso-
ciate the punishment with the fright
full object and will fear it more and
more each time he encounters it.

SATURDAY. JUNE 80, 1905.

The Senate Of the State has
finally passed measure highly
beneficial t. oil interests with
wells and headquarters at Jen-
nings. The discovery of oil in
Louisiana necessarily called for
some protective legislation and
the Louisiana solons have not
been slow in approaching that
fact, considering the fact that the
empowering laws passed will
prove largely conducive to the
public welfare as we'll. The gist
of the law passed empowers the
various syndicates to lay connect
ing underground pipes anywhere
in the State where their interests
may require; vests them with plen-
ary powers to appropriate lands
for the purpose and with all similar
powers as now enjoyed by rail-
road companies. The plain profit
that the people will have in this
measure is that the price of oil to
consumers will be greatly reduced
thereby, as transportation charges
will amount to almost nothing.
There is not a few prominent
Franklinites interested in the Jen-
nings oil fields, and, as these laws
were ably aided by our Senator
Petermar, we have some reason
to feel lat they will be the first
and foremost to show their appre-
citation for his unselflsh efforts in
their behalf, as well as in the
!. ..onomical features involved for
the people of the entire State.

First-A minute and careful sur
vey with behring's showing depth
of mud, ETC., both of the Bay, the
Reef; outside of the Reef, exact
location of best channel, and the
calculation of amount of dredging
necessary, etc.
Second-The letting of a con-
tract, based upon the information
obtained by the survey for cutting
a channel some 200 feet in width
by 20 feet in depth across the Reef
in the eighborhood Of White
Shell Keys.
The excavations from cutting
this Reef may be used to block
the present passage at the "Nar-
rows" and other points, and in
this manner force considerable
more water through the new out
let.
After this contract is concluded
it will soon become evident lust
what additional dredging will be
necessary to complete 13 foot to
10 foot channel into the Gulf, and
further contract can then be let
for the necessary amount OF dredg-
ing.

The Secretary of Agriculture is
obviously not entirely in symp-
athy with his muck raking political
boss for the passage of a more
stringent inspection of the meat
industry. For in reply to a sug-
gestion from Mayor Dunno that a
commission of pathologist be APP
pointed to look into the present
methods Of beef inspection, Sec
rotary Wilson says that the laws
of this country are more stringent
than in any foreign country. II
the laws are so stringent, it is
evident that the execution has
been lax and therein Mr.. Wilson
and the President are to blame,
for if Secretary Wilson is not
capable of enforcing the law
President Roosevelt could at once
remove him and appoint some one
who is more competent execu-
tive officer. There are nearly
1000 highly paid experts whose
duty it is to inspect cattle and
meat and incidentally, of course,
to report on the general cleanli-
ness of the methods employed.
Not one of these experts has re-
ported that anything was wrong
in their department, or if they did
report anything unfavorable, it
has been pigeon-holed by the
higher officials.

While the people are in the
humor Of ferreting out graft in
public and semi-public places,
they should look into the subject
of the salaries paid our public
school teachers. The insurance
employees are not the only ones
who draw big salaries. The aver
age salary paid the Louisiana
school teacher is S51.37 a month,
and he holds his job about seven
months in the year.
Talk about your insurance
grafters! The Louisiana public
school teacher is the real CRATER.
He makes nearly $3.50 a year.
That's $40 a month. That's big
pay for a man who has to spend
only four years in fitting himself
to hold his Job. Ofcourse it takes
men and women of more than
average mental equipment and
more than ordinary education to
hold job like that.
Certainly a man or woman who
is competent to be public school
teacher deserves to be paid fairly |
we'll, but isn't thirty dollars a
pretty high? That's enough |
to pay the average PERSONS board
