an angle TO the wall. so as TO jut partly

many advantages, notable in singing.
The presence OF damp is generally first
noticeable by the notes continuing to
sound after the fingers have been lifted
from the keys, or by a general buzz when
the instrument is played. Later the
keys Will stick down, or return slowly

feet OF vessels damaged or totally de-
stroyed and the houses and avenues OF
the lower city wrecked and torn by the
terrific wind and the surge of sea that
accompanied it--these are the results OF
a typhoon that swept down upon Hong

warning.
Along the sea front the devastation IL
appalling. Wrecks OF vessels that were
riding in apparent security in the harbor
earlier in the day are wedged between
buildings that are tottering TO their fall
Entire streets are ruined. Seaweed and
clusters OF tangled rigging form grue-
some decorations on torn and twisted
walls.
On every corner eddies have piled up
wreckage OF every sort and have re-
ceded leaving them as monuments TO
the violence OF the wind and sea.
Looking out from the sea walls. the
surface OF the harbor is thickly sown on
every side with rigging and spars and
the planks OF ships. Many vessels are at
the bottom OF the bay. while others lie
far up on nearby shores. The fleet Of

We note with some satisfaction
that the people all over the Parish
are realizing the necessity of bet
ter work in the field, small in
acreage and diversicstion of the
crops. The entirely sugar parish
es are feeling the effect of the
short cane crop and all are suf-
fering on account of dull times,
the cotton parishes this year with
good crop and high prices are all
doing a thriving business, but in
the past they have also suffered
when the cotton crop was small
and the price low. 1t is wise that
in this State that every planter
should diversity his crops as much
rs possible. Every planter in this
parish should plant a good crop of
corn and cotton and few acres of
cane and rice. The high land rice
of Texas it is believed will thrive
here and this crop is cultivated
like all other crops without irri-
cation and can be raised cheaply.
This is crop our planters should
try. as rice is a good crop because
it produces money in July and
August, at a time much earlier
than all the other crops, and it
keeps business moving at a lively
rate at time that is always dull
in agricultural sections that pro-
duce cotton and cane.
