AGRICULTURE
IN SCHOOLS
Subject Of Instructive Lecture "a
Teachers by Mr.. Howe Of U. s.
Department Tuesday Niaht.

On Tuesday, June %, at 8 p. m in
the auditorium of the Industrial In
stltute, Mr.. F. w. Howe, Assistant in
Agricultural Education. in the u. S
Department Of Agriculture, gave a lee.
ture to the assembled school teachers
on the subject, Agriculture in the
Schools" Owing to bad weather but
few outsiders attended.
Mr.. Howe described the different
phases of the proposition; according
10 grades of pupils, and advised the
teachers to acquaint themselves first
With works on the subject, and by
consulting certain bulletins issued by
the department of Agriculture. of
which he cited dozen, and which can
be procured by all interested on
simple application.
He strongly advised a better knowl.
edge OF the organization of the Feder.
al department and Divisions of Beau
reaux, so the magnitude of the work
would be better understood. A spec
lai bulletin is issued for the purpose.
Mr. Howe also advised the choosing
OF examples of nature study, taken in
immediate locality for demonstration.
against the mistake of sending for or
getting specimens from far away
Using as much practical demonstra.
ton as possible will be found more to
the point.
He said that it will certainly tax
the teachers with a surplus Of study.
as they must know in advance the sub
jects that they will bring before their
pupils.
He said that there is no branch Of
teaching where general KNOWLEDGE is
more necessary than in Agriculture.
and that the farmer Of the future will |
nave to be learned in botany. chemis-
Try, physics, and mechanics, and pro-
Vided with better spirit Of observa-
Ion besides being a shrewd business
nan.
In a word, what is today an art will
'e a science.
For the present, the instructors
lave to be taken Unfortunately into
he ranks, without regard to educa.
ional preparation, but that before
many years the teacher in Agriculture
really worthy of the name, will be
ne one commanding the highest sal.
lry, and the one who will never he
fraid that his vocation will get out

MAD DOG AT SCOTT.
BITES nine PERSONS
And Also Number of Dogs, Pigs, and
Other Animals Before He is
Killed
BY Mr. JOE SONNIER, WHO DASH
ED ITS BRAINS OUT.
All the In iured Taken to New Orleans
to Undergo the Pasteur Treat
ment.

Tuesday morning vicious mao
dog that ran through the village o
Scott attacking and biting everything
in it's way. Before the brute could be
killed nine persons had been bitten
and quite a number of dogs, pigs and
other animals. The dog, small rat
terror, the property of Mrs. B.
Perez, had really been affected on
Monday, and bit several children on
that day. No one, however, suspected
that the animal was affected with
rabies ana it was not till Tuesday
about noon that the real gravity of the
situation became apparent. The dog
at that time reached the home of Mr..
Joe. Sonnier, and bit three of his
children. Mr.. Sonnier was so en-
ragged that he seized the animal and
dashed its brains out against a tree.
The news soon spread about town and
the anxious people called in DR.. l.. A.
Prejean, who examined the dead dog
and gave it as his opinion that the
dog beyond doubt had been affected
with hydrophobia. Upon investiga-
tion it was found that the following
persons had been bitten by the dog:
Lena Foreman, five years old, daugh-
ter of Felix Foreman; Litty Sonnier,
aged eight years, May Sonnier, aged
10 months, and John Sonnier, agyd
three years, children of Joseph Son.
nier; Mrs. J. A. Landry. wife Of the
railroad agent J. A. Landry; Louis
Delhomme, aged twelve years, son of
ALT. A. Delhomme; Sidney Obin, aged
eight months, son of Adam Obin
Jeanne and Pearl Trahan, aged eight
and six years respectively, daughters
of Assessor Albert Trahan. Messrs.
Adam Maitre and Zack Mouton were
attacked by the vicious little animal,
but fortunately its teeth tore only
sleeves and did not penetrate the
flesh.
The entire community was in a
state Of intense excitement and dis
tress over the ravages Of the brute
and steps were Immediately taken
to convy all the victims to New Or |
leans for treatment at the Pasteur
Institute. Accordingly Wednesday |
all affected boarded the early train
and will undergo the incubation that
prevents development Of the dread
disease. To prevent any further
spread of rabies the people of Scott
began the slaughter of all
dogs and animals suspected Of having
been bitten.
Mr.. Luc Leblanc and other ener.
getic citizens Immediately started
relief fund and soon obtained good
sum from the people Of Scott and La
layette to assist in defraying the ex.
penses Of the unfortunates while un-
dergoing treatment, which will re-
luire about twenty days.

nearly cost him his life, while at work
inside 2S-inch water pipe The line
of pipe ran along steep hillside and
was held in position by wooden sup
ports. While Fngel was riveting two
sections together the supports gave
way and the section in which he was
working started down the hill at q ter

feet and finally dropped into ditch in
which q stream OF water was running.

Simple Remedy for LoekIaw.

Cal johnson, an old-time printer,
was in the city recently and claims to
have simple and effective cure for
lockjaw, one that never fails. Re
membering his boyhood days when the
rusty nail was always lying in wait
for the barefoot boy and serving as a
menace to all who attempted to pass
the summer months without shoes on
their feet, Mr.. Johnson thinks that his
advice may be of some use to the IA
theirs and mothers who still have bare
foot boys,
The remedy is to smoke the wound
caused by the rusty nail or other i'm.
plement Of torture to the small boy,
with a wooden cloth. Twenty minutes
with this kind OF treatment, It is said,
will take out the worst case of in
flammation and cause a speedy heal.
Ing of the wound without 6isagreeable
results.-Kansas City Journal.

TOOK THEIR MATES ON TRIAL.
ons-Year Marriages Once Common
Thing In Scotland.

They who talk glibly Of .short-term
marriages and afiinities do not know
that in Scotland a one-year marriage,
termed a handfasting, was once legal
and fairly common. II was abandoned
on account Of it, injustice to the wo.
man.
Scott, in The Monastery" mentions
this one-year marriage, making Sir
Julian AveAal say:
I'VE take our wives, like our horses,
upon trial. When we are handfasted,
as we term 1t, we are man and wife for
a year and day; that space gone by,
each may choose another mate, or at
their pleasure, may call the priest to
marry them for life"
There was no disgrace attached to
handfasting. 1t was, indeed, more
often practiced among the great than
the lowly. But the poor girl whose
trial husband rejected her at the
years end rarely found It possible to
secure q permanent mate.

WENT BACK ON sENEFAcroR,
PhIianthropIc Women Disappointed In
Their Protege.


The late Mrs. Clara Dewey How Of
Philadelphia, whose philanthropic
work among immigrants made her
well known. had trenchant wit. and
one afternoon In Philadelphia, dis
GUESSING the woman suffrage movement
with clergyman, she said:
you men are all alike. You all re-
semble the orphan that Mrs. Stanton
and her friends brought up. Mrs
Stanton and body of ladies from her
church, all interested in woman suf-
frage, once took little newsboy from
the gutter and educated him superbly.
They sent him through school and
college and finally made . minister Of
him.
This young minister, the work Of
their hands. preached his first sermon
In their church. That was a proud
Sunday morning for the good ladies'.
They thought they had at last firmly
planted among the male sex strong
and splendid supporter. So, In their
best bonnets, they filed the church
that Sunday morning. They were on
tiptoe with expectation. Who could
tell but that their young charge might
preach in their honor q woman suf-
frage sermon!
Imagine their emotions when the
youth arose in the pulpit, looked calm
ly and even sternly over the congresx-
ton and announced that his text
would be from st. Paul:
"Let the women keep silence In the
church."
