Bonfire OF Pipes.

Lafayette, La. Nov. bly, volun-
tarily banishing tobacco from their
ranks. the corps of cadets of the
Southwestern Louisiana Industrial
Institute took a stand on question
of school propriety which gives this
institution an enviabIe rank among
the higher schools of this part of the
country.
Saturday night at a meeting OF the
officers of the corps of cadets they
drew up resolutions not only pledg-
ing themselves to give up tobacco al
together. but requiring privates tn
report any officer seen smoking. A
suggestion that any private who
cared to he allowed TO sign the same
WAS quickly put into effect, and be-
fore long every cadet living in the
dormitorv except one had placed his
name under those of the officers. The
boys made u bonfire ON the campus
of their tobacco. pipes and smoking
material.
Few If any educationali institutions
of like grade in this section of the
South have seen a more magnificent
display of true school spirit. and a
resolve by the student body to stand
for clean manhood.

The ten per cent. increase In the

"Dear Sir-Will you cooperate
with me in IN effort to secure for the
farmers of Louisiana such advan-
tages rs are now enjoyed by the
farmers of New York?
Il ask you to give the enclosed
reading matter your careful atten-
ton, to discuss with practical farm
ers in your locality the idea set forth,
and to let me know the result. / de-
sire your full sympathy, and ask you
to assist me by your endorsement in
soliciting from the Crescent City

Jockey Club, the same public spirit
ed action as has already been taken
by similar organizations in New

"The result of such favorable ac-
ton by them would be to place with
in the means OF every farmer in this
State the opportunity to improve
his stock. Thoroughbred blood in
fused into our horses would immeas
urably increase their usefulness for
all purposes, and consequently their
value.
Organized effort in this direction

CONNECTICUT,

e. a. w. Paterson II. J.): What do the three
vines on the seal OF the State of Connecticut
mean' and who invented the state motto?
The vines symbolic the colony brought over
and planted here in the wilderness. Referring to
the Bible, we find in the sOth Psalm the verse.
Thou hast cast out the heather and planted
t'-in Latin. ''Vineam de segypto transtuliste.
Ejicisti gentes ct plantasti cam" From this is
derived the motto "Qui transtulet sustinet, I"
meaning. He who transplanted still sustains." 4"
The origin of the seal of Connecticut was told
IN an unpublished paper in 1859 by Roger VOL
cott. From statements made to him by his step
rather, Daniel Clark. secretary of the colony.
Ao0S-66, it is there stated that the seal was

that in the newborn there exist striking differ

the respective brains can at once be distin-

develops especially in the frontal and parietal

Woman's. These fact are important in view Of
the fact that 1t is the frontal cavity to which Is
ascribed the most important part in the per-

Other minor differences consist in the hairiness
and the development of the thyroid gland which

PRECIOUS STONES CURED ILLNESS.
They Were Prescribed as Medicine Away
Back in the Second Century.

Truly. among ancient volumes there are none
which yield better entertainment to the student
Of human nature and its foibles and follies than
those dealing with ways and means to preserve
mankind from ailments and disease. And though
the present day is said to furnish better oppor-
tunities to the qLtck doctor and the Valetudi-
marian than any former period in the worlds
history, glance through some of the medical
works Of four or five centuries ago shows that
II would be difficult TO beat some OF the sug-
sested cures and prescriptions.
We have come across some information gath
cred in an ancient volume. telling Of the mar
vellous properties OF precious stones in curing
disease. The compiler of the volume tells his
readers that in the second century A. D., a
famous medical man cured King Necho OF Egypt

pREp SCOTT DECISION.

H E. N. Fulton n. ": What 10 meant by
the Dred Scott decision?
This was a case brought for final decision be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the United States in
1856. The plaintiff was Negro named Dred
Scott who. with his wife and children, had been
held as slave by a DR.. Emerson. in the State OF
Missouri. After the death of Emerson Dred
Scott and his family claimed 10 be free, on the
ground that they had resided for some time
with their late proprietor in free territory; so
that, having, Scott alleged, been free III that
territory, they could not be held to slavery.
The case was carried TO the United States Su-
preme Court, and on March 6, 1857, Chief Justice
Roger Brooke Taney. Of Maryland. announced
the decision. The court held that Scott had no
right to sue because even if he were free, no
colored person was regarded by the Constitution
as a citizen. He said: They had for more
than century been regarded as so far
inferior that they had no rights which the white
man was bound to respect" After deciding this,
the question at issue, the court went out Of its
way to declare the Missouri Compromise void
and TO deny the right Of Congress to exclude
slavery from any territory. OF the associate
justices six supported the Chief Justice, and two
Mclean of Ohio. and Curtiss, OF Massachu-
setfs-diSSented.
