Gen. Quitman died years ago, n
Mr.. Pelton became a sugar refiner in
New Orleans, under the partnership
name Of Pelton & Dunbar, entirely
abandoning the planting business.
Practically every parish in the state
has a history connected with its early
settlement that is full of romance,
which ought to be written before all
Of those familiar with it have passed

It will be seer that Terrebonne has
several times produced nearly $4,000
short tons Of sugar, which would be
about its maximum crop thus Tar.
Some Of the notably good years of the
past, say. 1878, 1880, 1882, 1883, 1884,
failed to produce good crops in Terre-
bonnie parish, owing to the crevasses
thai OvertiOWed that section of the
country. During the decade Of 1880
1890. T~errebOnne was a very large
sufferer in this way, but since the
final closure Of the Morganza crevasse
T~errebOnne has shown up conspicu-
ously as a sugar producer, her pro-
duction having fallen off notably i'll
the year 1895, after the passage Of the
Wilson tariff bill that brought about
such ruinOus results to Louisiana.
A notable feature in regard to the
history Of sugar production in the
parish Of ~Terrebonne since the Civil
War is the fact that after the wal the
number of sugar houses increased
from 5S in 1868 W to 80 in 1872. A
good many of these sugar houses were
small, horse power sugar houses, pro-
Gucing as little as forty or fifty hogs
heads per annum. Since the maxi
mum post bellum development in the
number Of sugar houses, 80 in 1872,
The number has gradually decreased,
falling off to go in 1882. to 80 in 1892
and to u in 1902, with the largest re
corded production Of the parish made
in that same year. In this respect
Terrebonne is following, or perhaps
leading the rest Of the state in the
gradually diminishing number Of
sugar houses and is constantly in
crcaSing the average output per house.
The average for 1902 was nearly three
and a half million pounds for each
SuG&r house in operation.
Much If the land of Terrebonne lies
low, but still is comparatively well
protected from any Of the great Cult
storms. Much damage was done in
the great storm of October |, 1893,
but happily such instances are very
rare in TerrebOnne's history. The
parish is one Of the most thriving in
the. state, and its large planters are
among the most able and enterprising
identified with the sugar industry and
the parish contains thousands OF
skilled sugar house operatives and eX-
pertS. whose services have brought
the sugar industry of that parish up
Ia its present admirable proportions.
May its success continue.

USE FOR MIRRORS.

CREASE SIZE OF ROOM.
Little Care Taken In the Placing OF

Wsnders-Shouid Reflect
Door or Window.

To increase the apparent size OF a
room there is nothing better than the
judicious use of mirrors.
Surprising that you have a glass
about five feet high and two wide, in
a wooden frame. you may employ it
most decoratively in sitting room.
Mount IL about couple of feet from
the floor and arrange in front of il
row of ferns, palms or other foliage
plants, concealing the pots with
handsome box, filled in at the top with
fresh moss.
The mirror should be placed either
where II will reflect the view from
the window or else opposite the en-
trance of the room, so that when the
door is opened one may see the hall,
or passage beyond, reflected in it. or
course, the room will not be any larger
really, but the fact that 1t will appear
so is great point, for, as a friend of
my own says, IF we cannot have q
pleasant reality at least let us have a
pleasant Illusion
L know one house where the dining
room is long and dark, and the only
window gives very insufficient light,
say1 writer in the Chicago American.
Here an immense improvement was
effected by placing good mirror over
the sideboard at the end of the room
opposite the window.
This reflected the light and the land
scape seen from the window, with the
result that one was almost deluded
into the belief that the room had two
windows, and one certainly was not
conscious of the want of an outlet.

New occupations for American WON
On are frequently described in the
household magazines. Meantime
lastly cling to their old tasks. A trav-
eler with good eyes may see in q sim
gle summer day in Belgium enough
to make him wonder what are really
the boundaries OF "woman's sphere"
AT five o'clock in the morning he may
see q red-cheeked woman. a rude har-
mess over her shoulders, pulling, with
. big dog for a helper. a heavy cart
OF vegetables three miles from garden
to market. The cart holds several
topped by a great bundle OF dew
sprinkled roses; and before the wom-
an and the dog trudge home with 1t
again. everything will have been sold.
Our traveller may come upon two mus
'cular women transferring a load OF
coal from sidewalk to cellar, shout
idering the baskets as easily as men
would do. If he fingers to watch them
finish their task, he will see a girl of
r16 swing wooden yoke over her
shoulders, and carry pail after pail
iof water from the town pump. two
squares away, for the scrubbing clean
OF the dusty sidewalk. Three women
toss bundles of oats upon a high cart,
and themselves drag it up from the
Held to the yard, where the grain is
ITO be threshed, and where later they
will build the straw into symmetrical
stacks. A great herd Of COWS cluster
round the mixers in the field, and
from the group the talk and laughter
OF girls mingles with the sharp whistle
OF the milk in the pals. So, in the
little kingdom of Belgium-where
wages are low and taxes are high
women toll at what we have come to
tconsider work fit only for men, says
youths Companion. But 1t must be
said that they do not look unhappy
'under the yoke. Perhaps the freedom

Not Made in London

A statement in the Daily Consular
and Trade Reports OF August %. is.
sued by the bureau of manufactures
department of commerce and labor
very effectually dispels the Illusion
that the best dressed of Americans
have their clothes made in London.
Recently "a leading West End tailor"
writing to the London Mail. asserted
that few Americans who can afford
II, and who prize style, quality and
lit, order their clothes anywhere else
but in London"
The absurdity of this pretension is
Shown in the British export statistics.
Out OF grand total of articles of
wearing apparel valued at $23.224. 300
exported to all the countries of the
earth in 1905, the exports TO the
United States amounted to a paItrv
$215,O00 OF this only $4,000 repre-
sented goods made of wool, or wool
mixed with other materials It is
probable that this sum when reduced
to $4,000 would cover all the clothing
made for welldressed Americans by
fashionable London tailors.
The fact that Americans are the
best dressed people in the world. cou-
pied with the fact that probably 99.9
per cent. OF all the clothes worn by
American men is made by American
tailors, points unerringly to the con
clusion that American tailors are the
best in the world II is also a fact
that the ready-made clothing OF the
United States surpasses in At. style
and quality the made-to-order clothing
Of the rest OF the world.
