Amusing the Baby.

A simple device for keeping baby
amused and happy is to fasten at IN
tervals upon broad bright ribbon the
little toys of which he is most fond,
suspending the ribbon above the bed
upon which he lies, within reach OF
his little hands, by securing one end
of the head of the bed and the other
to the foot. He will then entertain
himself by the hour pushing the toys
hack and forth and watching them
swing above him.-Harper' Bazaar

Europe,s Record Snowfall.

The snowfall in central Europe last
winter broke all records for many
years, Germany probably receiving
the worst of it. For days at a time,
following each big storm, the streets
of Berlin were blocked to such an ex
tent that the street department and the
German capital was taxed to the limit.
One snowstorm cost the city $4,000 to
clear away automobile snow plows
and vans being used to great extent
in the work.

The Panama Exposition Tax.

The State Legislature convened
at Baton Rouge last Monday and
by the close of the week it is
probable that the extra session of
our State solons will have come
to a close, and the amendment to
the State constitution providing
for a tax levy to guarantee the
selection of New Orleans as the
logical point by Congress for the
holding of the Worlds Panama
Exposition, will have been put in
proper shape for submission to
the electors of the State. This
tax provides for the raising OF
S., 500, 900, a guarantee fund de-
manded by Congress. 1t is so
arranged as to yield one million
from the State taxpayers and the
balance from the property own
ers in the city of New Orleans,
who are to be most directly bene-
fitted by the Exposition. The
Exposition, if New Orleans should
be the place selected, will do an
incalculable good to the whole
State by attracting to US a vast
number of people from all sec.
lions of the western hemisphere,
many of whom will asuredly To-
cate amongst US and assist in the
Full development of our great and

The 1berviIle South says: "The

crouch. Its condition is pitiful.
Sometimes it is distressing. 1t is
always sour. But cit was ever
thus" 1t has slandered and
abused every Democratic Gov
ernor Louisiana has had since the
war. Its abuse of Nichols was
limitless; it hated Foster as no
public official was ever hated. 1t
never ceased to condemn Heard,
Its slanderous and libelous at
tacks on Blanchard were of the
foulest character. Would it not
DE exceedingly strange if this
paper saw anything in 80 great a
man as Sanders, to praise. When
the Times-Democrat condemns,

Senator Barret's amendment
permitting the political corpora
tons of cities and towns to lew
special taxes in aid of private
or quasi corporations has fell by
the wayside. There can be no
doubt but that this would facili.
itate the carrying out of many
neededimprovements of a public
character throughout the State,
but while this is true, the adop-
tioE of such an amendment would
doubtless lay communities too
much at the mercy of unscrupu.
ious designing individuals, hence
we consider the rejection of the
amendment as q wise and eau.
tious act on the part Of the legis-

The National Rivers and Har.

emphasize its position as to the
Improvements of the waterways

For years tie great body of

issue of bonds to be used exclu.
sively for the betterment of the
rivers, harbors and canals of

bonds to be similar to the Panama
bonds and to draw a low rate of

Since the committees of the two
houses of Congress-, dealing with
the River and Harbor bill, have
gone on record in favor of a year.

the talk of bond issue has died
out, but should Congress refuse
to pass a yearly bill it is believed
that the agitation for a bond is.
sue would be resumed, and those
who heard President Taft in his
last address to the Rivers and

would sign bill authorizing such
a bond issue provided that the
projects to be improved had the
approval of the Board of En-
gineers of the Army and a square.
toed declaration made that wild
cat' or unmeritorious projects
would receive no consideration at

meet important bodies of water
