Increase of $50 COnvicts.

The Louisiana State Penitentiary
closed the records Sor the year 1908
with an increase Of something like
25O convicts in it's care Exact fig
ures will not be obtainable for few
days. The books of the Board of
Control show that on December 1,
when the report was closed out, the
penitentiary had 1882 convicts. The
reports of the board for December
l, 1907, show that the board had
1888 convicts, making the net gain
for the year 245. 1t is likely that
the net gain during the month of Dec
ember may run the total to $50.

Negro Cuts Wife,s Throat.

Rufus Bradford, negro laborer,
cut his wifes throat from ear to ear
on the street near their home at
Haskell, between Lawrence and Del
den streets in Lake Charles, and
then made an unsuccessful attempt
to commit suicide by stabbing him
self in the neck with pair of scis-
sors, missing the iugular, however,
and producing only minor wounds.
An attempt to rob the H'oman OF
money which she had~saYed by work
ing as a house -ssrl seems so far as
can be leo~ned, the only motive for
tha-crlme.

Louisiana Orange Growing Assumes
Important Proportions.

The orange growing industry Of
southern Louisiana is rapidly increas.
ing in Importance and within a few
years, the oranges, mandarins and
tangerines of Louisiana will be in
demand all over the country" Year
by year the crop is growing larger
and this year quite quantity OF
fruit was sent to Chicago where it
was eagerly bought, the supply not
equalling the demand. This was the
first year that the supply was equal
to and in excess of the New Orleans
demand and the surplus was shipped
to Chicago where the delicious flavor
of the fruit won instant recognition
and caused demand that was i'm
possible to supply. This years crop
amountef to about 200, 600 boxes and
the prices paid were higher this year
than generally paid for the Florida
fruit. For Louisiana oranges prices
ranged from $3.50 to $2.10per box:
ranged from $3.50 to $2.10 per box;
$3.50 to $275 and for mandarines,
$3.50 to $3.50.

The federal authorities have under
taken to start the mating grass in
dustry in this country, and for that
purpose have installed experiment
farms at Crowley, La; Pierce. Tex,
and Jacksonboro, S. C.. An acre of
the mating grass was planted at each

the juncus effusus, or Japanese va
riety, and the cyperus tegeti, or Chi
nese variety. The latter grows best
here. The United States uses $5,000,-
600 worth of the grass year. The

been displayed recently. The stick
has a silver-looking top, which is
worked by screw, and beneath this

the cane, remove lie tube and re-
move the cork, then replace the
blind tiger in the hollow of the
