YALE SEAL PASTE PAINT IS THE
 BEST.

Our Yale Seal Paste Paint is the Best paint. Experience is the best teacher, and experience has demons trated the fact that a combination of pigments, finely ground in pure lin seed oil and reduced to the proper consistency with good thinners makes the Best paint. As a combination of white lead and zinc is conceded to be the best white pigment, it is used in the Yale Seal Paste Paint, tinted with both mineral and chemical colors. As all colors of the same shade do not retain their luster and

additional funds to get new suits
The friends and alumni Of the Insti

The Ideal Woman.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The ideal woman seems to be a
subject that most men do not tire of
discussing, and the clergyman who
asked for opinions from the men of
his congregation got answers some
what at variance as to details, but
agreeing in essential particulars. Not
long ago another clergyman in this
city assembled the opinions of pillars
of his church-on the present occasion
it was the unmarried woman who was
the subject of the argument One
man said she must be full of pure
fun" that she must be an individual
list, and not copyist in fashions that
she must not deal in gossip. Another
astute observer and diligent seeker
after knowledge declared that she
must not gush or use slang or hObnOb
unchaperoned with young men. The
collected opinions would fill a whole
series of copykooks with maxims of a
lofty morality austere philosophy, and
any young woman who undertook to
live up to them would have little time
for housework or plain sewing, and
no time whatever for social diversion.
The man who said that the ideal
woman must have a lively sense of
humor seems to have spoken wisely.
A business man. returning to his
country home, tired out after the
days grinding toll and turmoil, met
his wife as he stepped from the train.
One Of the passengers in the smoking
car remarked the fact that she Wore
flowers and had cherry laugh. That
laugh" he said, "is worth great deal
to that man." 1t is question whether
the development of the ideal woman
does not require the associae q as
sistance of the ideal man. Mn an
is perhaps overfond Of laying down
the law as TO what Caesars wife shall
be, without thinking enough of what
he in his turn is bound to do to satisfy
her requirements. The ideal woman
may be scarce, but the ideal man, no
doubt. Is rarer still.

the collection is being made by the

EUREKA NURSERY.
Fine Grove of Satsuma Orange Trees
in Full Fruit Offers Parish
New Industry.

An Advertiser reporter paid a visit
| to the Eureka Nursery Sunday upon
the invitation Of Mr.. T. J. Lacy, the
proprietor, to see his grove of Satsu-
| ma orange trees in full bearing. Mir.
Lacy has something over a fourth of
an acre in Satsuma oranges and the
trees are all heavily loaded with
golden fruit. The Satsuma is de-
licious orange and has the fine quail
ity, in addition, Of standing rather
severe cold. 1t fiourishes in this eli
mate and yields bountfully, as visit
to the Eureka Nursery demonstrates.
1t does not require great deal Of
considerable shallow cultivation. The
returns from the trees are large and
justify careful attention to them. Mr.
Lacy stated that last year his grove
yielded $3.50, which is a pretty good
yield for a little more than a quarter
of an acre. Besides the work of car
ing for the trees is comparatively lit
tie. Mr.. Lacy's success with this de
licious species of orange offers to the
people OF this parish new and profit
able industry.
1t is not necessary that every one
should quit growing other crops in
order to profit from orange growing
On the contrary, these new opportu-
mites proven possible are simply a
continuance Of the diyersifcation idea
Dependence on one crop is incorrect
''and Improbable, for the full returns
from labor expended and soil and
crop, money crop as we have always
understood it.
The proper way to profit by the
proof that Satsuma orange trees are
profitable is for each person who can
spare it to plant about from one to
four acres in the orange trees. The
cultivation and caring for them will
not take great deal of time and at
the end of three or four years the
revenue will begin to come in and be
most welcome addition to the yield
of the farm.
In addition to the orange grove Mr..
Lacy has quite a number Of inter
esting plants to show in the way OF
fruits, shade trees and ornamental
shrubs Mr. Lacy is assisted by Mrs.
Lacy, who has the Towering plants
as her special department, and it is
very entertaining to be shown through
the large assortment of flowers, ferns,
ETC., by Mrs. Lacy, who makes the
fine collection more interesting by her
explanations.
The nursery was established here
about five years ago, Mr.. Lacy having
moved from Washington, where for
nearly forty years he had been in the
nursery business. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Lacy take a great deal of pride in
their business, which they are very
fond of, and they have made big
success in growing trees, shrubs, flow
ers and plants that are suitable for
this section. The nursery is not
very extensive one as to space COW
cred, but every available piece of
ground is well utilized and the nursery
is lots bigger than it looks.

The Cane Crop

Louisiana Planter:
The weather during the past week
has turned cooler and this has been
beneficial and encourages the planters
who naturally desire to see their cane
become ripper and sweeter. There is
now no special complaint as to the
sugar contents of the cane, but there
Is distinct note of disappointment
and pessimism asregards tonnage
which in some cases is distressingly
light. There Is also complaint of the
cane being dry and containing but lit
tie Juice. AS the season advances
the true situation will be more plainly
apparent but at present it looks as
though the total output of sugar in
this state this year will fall consider
ably below the expectations enter
tanned two or three months ago.
