OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
RIGHT NAN.

Speaking Of oyster planting on
the Texas coast, without doubt
one of the best openings for that
business is to be found of Point
Isabel. Here oysters may be
taken the year around. being even
better in summer than in winter.
For delicacy of flavor the Point
Isabel oyster surpasses even the
famous blue point of eastern
waters. The opportunities for
making money offered by the
oyster industry on the Texas coast
have been proven by the success OF
oyster planters at various places.
Laguna Madre also abounds IN
various kinds of choice fish, and
the combination of the shipment
of fish with the oyster industry
should pay we'll at Point Isabel.
Here is undoubtedly a fine open
ing for the right man with small
amount of capital.

To Keep Young.

Never retire from active life if
you can possibly avoid it; keep in
the swim; keep the mind active;
never refer to your advancing
years or say at my age"
To preserve youth, you must
have a variety of experience. The
country woman at forty, although
breathing a purer air and living on
a more healthful diet than the city
woman, often looks fifty, while the
latter at the same age does not
look more than thirty. But her
mind is more active than that of
her country sister, that is the secret
of her more youthful appearance.
Nothing else ages one more
rapidly than monotony,-a dead
level existence without change of
scene or experience. The mind
must be kept fresh or it will age,
and the body cannot be younger
than the mind.
Few minds are strong enough to
overcome the aging Influence of
the monotonous life which rules i'll
the average country home. City
people have infinitely greater
variety of life. They enjoy them
selves great deal more than coun-
try people. They work hard when
at work, but, when they are
through, they drop everything and
have a good time. There is no
doubt that the theater, in spite of
its many evils, has done a great
deal toward erasing the marks of
age. People who laugh much
retain their youth longer.-O. S.
Marden in Success.

Cure for Insomnia.

A widely known clubman, whose
family is known to take earnest
exception to his late hours, the re-
suit of inordiuate love for bridge,
recently encountered his physician
on the street, says the New York
Times.
How are you feeling these
days?" asked the medico.
Very we'll. indeed, thank you, "
replied the clubman, but I'm a
bit worried about my wife, doctor.

Importations of Rice Decrease.

Manila advices say that during
the fiscal year ending June so tie
importation of rice into the Philip:
pines decreased 81, 072 Al pounds,
valued at IS. OS4, 1S3 in gold.
General Ide says:
From these reports it appears
that the number of pounds of rice
imported into the Philippines dur
ing the fiscal year of 1866 was
something less than three seventies
of the importations of 1901, and
the cash sent out from the islands
for rice was less than four-elevenths
of the sum sent in 1904.
If the same ratio of decrease
continues for a year or even a
semester, no more rice will be i'm
ported and in two years the islands,
besides supplying the home de-
mand ought to be exporting rice. J"
The publication of the report has
caused a controversy. New Orleans
shippers contend that the decrease
of importations is a result Of the
poverty of the people, who it is
alleged, are not buying rice, but
are living on vans and other food.
The shippers declared that the
Philippines will never export rice.

THE STATE SHOULD HELP.

THE STATE SHOULD HELP.
The Corpus Christi Caller echoes
THE HERALD's claim that the en-
tire state of Texas should aid in the
effort to bring to justice the uni
formed fends who outraged the
town of Brownsville. As the Caller
points out, the reward of $500 of
fered by Governor Lanham is en-
tirely inadequate, though that
may be the limit allowed by the
state. The enormity, the astound-
ing atrocity of this crime, and the
most peculiar and unusual feature
characterizing it, from the fact that
it was committed by United States
soldiers, who killed and attempted
the wholesale massacre of United
States citizens with weapons fur
nished by their own country,
should arouse the entire state of
Texas, yes, even the entire nation
and, enlist the aid of all right mine
ed Americans in the effort to ferret
out the criminals and bring them
to justice. The removal of the
negro troops from Brownsville has,
to a considerable extent, taken
away the opportunity of the local
officers to identify the criminals,
bat if means were available to en-
ploy good detectives OH the case,
it might be possible to discover the
necessary evidence. BY the aid of
negro detectives, it could doubtless
be accomplished in a very short
time.
But It requires means to do this
thing. Brownsville should itself
start the move of raising a reward
large enough to enlist the best
talent in this work. When the
citizens of this town have raised as
much as they can towards the re-
ward, let them call on the state
papers to assist them. There is
little doubt that, in this way, a
sum large enough to enlist the
best detective service in the coun-
try can be secured. The foregoing
suggestion was made by THE HER
AID, including the idea of solicit
ing the governor to act also, pre-
vious to the action of the COM
uittee in sending the request to
the governor. At that time. il
was understood that, as soon a.
the governor acted, the COMMITTEES
would take up the matter of raising
an additional reward in Browns
vile. THE HERALD feels tina
the move should be set on foo,
without loss of time. Our people
sho should spare no effort to bring
the guilty wretcaes to justice.

Many are prone to think that organ
lied labor is yet in its swaddling
clothes. but they should revise their
opinions. The Boston Journeymen Tail
ors' Union recently celebrated its CEN
tennial. Not the least interesting on
the programme was the remarks of a
member who had been connected with
the union for over fifty years. His adj
vice was for all wage workers TO be-
come trades unionists and help the
ever-increasing army of toilers to bet
ter their conditions. He told of the
! trials of unionists half a century ago
and was glad that he had lived to see
the movement on such a firm founda-
ttion. He thought one way to hasten
the trades unionsts' millennium was
TO enter the political field and elect
true friends to office.
The recent convention of the Wood,
Wire and Metal Latllers' International
Union at Toronto was the largest ever
held. The progress made by the organ
ization during the past fiscal year
shows gain of about oDe-third in
membership and a proportionate in
crease in financial strength. Among
the acts of the delegates were the pro-
hibition of locals meeting over saloons;
appointing a committee to revise the
apprenticeship law: allowing members
to work on metal or wood at their op-
ton, and selecting Chicago as the next
convention city.
