The past win- ter is said to have been trying one on account of the abnormal rainfall, but recently the weather has been more favorable and the outlook IS for good lambing season.

BEN FRANKLINsON FRESH AIR.

The New Hampshire branch of the American Red Cross has published an interesting wall card. containing i'm large type a brief quotation from Ben jamin Franklin's Art of Securing Pleasant dreams. written in 179S, which forms a telling endorsement of the modern open air crusade
 Another means of preserving health tc be attended to is the having a constant supply of fresh air in your bed chamber. IL has been a great mis
 take, the sleeping in rooms exactly closed and the beds surrounded by curtains No outward air that may come to you is so unwholesome as the unchanged air. often breathed, of a close chamber. As boiling water does not grow hotter by long boiling if the particles that receive greater neat can escape so living bodies do not putrefS if the particles, so fast as they become putrid, can be thrown off. Nature eX- pels them by the pores of the skin and
 the lungs. and in a free open air they are carried off, but in a close room we receive them again and again though 1 they become more and more corrupt. \ number of persons crowded into 2 Sildll Tppln liluS aDpll tht Hs4i III |" few minutes. and eVen render it nor | tai as tho Black Hole at Calcutta.

sessed valuation of property to be

Assessor Warren Thomas amounted
to 1856, 742.00, to which the equal
izers added $4O8,522.OO, mostly in
the increased values placed on tim

HaZelhurst Banker Finds St. Tam
many Roads the Best.

w. G. Evans, the Picayune cor
respondent, has the following IN yes
terday's issue:
Covington, La, Aug. 1S.-The
goods roads of this parish received
a liberal need of praise when G. w.
Covington, president of the Bank
of Hazelhurst, Miss, accompanied by
his wife and child; G. E. Covington,
Susan Covington, Harold Covington
and w. G. Pitts, stopped here on
their way to New Orleans. For three
days they have been travelling over
all kinds of roads, but they declared
that the St. Tammany roads were
the best they had found since they
left Copiah County. They Travelled
south parallel with the Illinois Cen
trail railroad to Hammond and Pom
chatoula, thence to Madisonville and
Covington, and left there for Mande-
vile, where this morning they cross
the lake on the New Camelia for
New Orleans. Later Mr.. Covington
expects to return to this place and
from here journey to the gulf coast
resorts for a few days, and from
there back to his home through the
hills of Mississippi.

A Queer Oriqin.

1t is interesting, and sometimes
amusing, to trace the origin of words.
There is the word "pecuniary,' for
example, which, you know, means re-
lating to money. Strange to say, its
original meaning was cattle 1t
seems that oxen were the medium of
exchange between the ancient Ro-
mans, one OK being the unit of value.
The first Roman coins bore the image
of an OK, and the word "pecus' meant
an OK or coin, according to how
you used 1t.
