Tie cotton crop is said to be worth about
800, 900, 900, this is FIVE per cent foristate
taxes of all the cotton raised, and this is
heavy, but then the counties have to tax
still heavier, and the town and city folks
have to pay still more taxes.
1t is cheaper to rent lands it seems than
to own them. Interest and i'm prove
ments amount with taxes to more than
the rents. A man will make more in tie
long run with his money ont at 8 per
cent than invested in ordinary farm lands
where he can't be there every day and
control labor. A small home is cheap at
any price if a man wants 1t only for a

The ground would be a beauti6ec and a

our schools. On the school house de-

New Orleans Cities of the Dead.

New Orleans has several miniature
cities within its boundaries, and they
are the cities OF the dead said
Louis W. lie Branc of the Crescent
City.
Il mean" he explained, that every
cemetery in New Orleans is a minia-
ture city. They are built above the
ground and laid out in streets, just
as the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion of Spain and France In them, too,
are to be found inscriptions that tell
Of sweet Creole romances, such as
that of Jeanne Laclede, the popular
singer of nearly century ago, who
died of a broken heart.
Certain days are set apart, accord
ing to the old French Catholic Gus
tom for visiting these miniature cit
les. and on these days they are crowd
ed all day long. AS they were built
so long ago they are now in the cen
ter of the city and at night low weird
indeed Long ago it was found neces-
sary to build the cemeteries above the
ground, because of the fact that the
city itself is below the level of the
Mississippi river"

to eat 200 grasshoppers in a single

The pretty quail, whose life has been

weed seeds, which would otherwise
scatter, and is also good feeder on

are laid into the notches when the

Another method consists of two
