Animals That Weep.

Travellers through the Syrian Desert
have seen horses weep from thirst. A
mule has been seen to cry from the pain
of an injured foot, and camels, it is said,
shed tears in streams. A COW sold by it's
mistress, who had tended it from calf
hood, wept pitifuily. A young soko ape
used to cry with vexation il Livingstone
didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked
him to. Wounded apes have died crying,
and apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained
to carry water jugs broke one and cried,
which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't
mend the jug. Rats, discovering their
young drowned, have been moved to
tears of grief. A giraffe which hunts
mans rife had injured, began to cry
when approached. Sea lions often weep
over the loss of their young. Gordon
Cumming observed tears tr1ckling down
the face of dying elephant. And even
an orang -outang when deprived of its
mango was so vexed that it took to weep
ing. There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep from
pain or annoyance.-@Harper'a Weekly

aBut this is not the worst OF it. In
deed, it is in itself not bad showing
(although nearly eight times greater
than the Governors estimate and four
times greater than that Of the commit
tee's), because as matter fact the road
if it were q good and permanent one
would be cheap at that figure, and the
best investment that the people could
make.
.But as we showed by an article copied
from Mansfield paper of two weeks ago.
the road is mere makeshift and SO bad,
that people living along its line or at
least one citizen has been compelled to
cut road through the woods in order
to reach his home.
aThe only thing now said in favor OF
this road, is that it will be good in good
weather.

Fable of the Horseshoe.

Do you know the German fable about
the horseshoe? In the olden times, in q
little village Of Germany, blacksmith
was hard at work. The sound OF the an
vii attracted the attention of the devil.
He saw that the smith was making horse
shoes, and thought it would be a good
idea to get his own hoofs shod. So the
devil struck bargain, and put up his
foot.
The blacksmith saw with whom he
was dealing and nailed q red-hot shoe on,
driving the nails square into the devils
hoof. The devil then paid him, and left
but the honest blacksmith threw the
money in the fire. He knew it would
bring him bad luck.
Meanwhile the devil had walked some
distance, and began to suffer the great
est torture from the shoes. The more be
danced and kicked and swore, the worse
the things hurt him. Finally, after he had
gone through the most fearful agony, ne
tore them of and threw them away.
From that time forward, whenever he
saw horseshoe, he would run off, anx-
ious only to get out Of the way. The
German peasantry all believe this story
today, and one can scarcely find door
step or barn door that hasn't horseshoe
nailed up.

Bird That Never Flies.

The ostrich, because of it's resemblan.
ce to the camel, has been said to be the
connecting link between beasts and birds.
There is horny excrescence on the
breast Of both the dromedary and the
ostrich, on which they lean while rest
ing they have similarly formed feet ;
the same muscular neck their food is
much the same, and both can go an in
credibly long time without water.
Moreover an ostrich never flies, nor is
it possible for it to lift itself from the
ground in the slightest degree by the use
OF its wings; but like the camel it is very
swift-footed. In its native country the
shells OF the eggs afford almost the only
household utensils used. An egg will
weigh from three to four pounds and is
equal to two dozen hens eggs. 1t re-.
quires thirty five minutes to boil one,
and longer il required hard. A fresh egg
is worth twenty five dollars.
The keeper Of an ostrih farm says the
birds are the only thing he ever tried
that he has not succeeded in tanning.
They are known to live to be seventy
five years old, and some think they viii
reach hundred. They are about eight
feet in height. Their hearing and sight
are very acute, and these seem to be
about all the sense they are blessed with.
Their legs are very powerful, and arc
the only weapon OF defense; when they
attack an enemy they do so by kicking,
but always strike forward and never
backward.
The choice sostrich feathers are found
only in the wings; the undressed feath-
ers vary in price, having been as low as
twenty-five dollars per pound and as
high as three hundred dollars, and there
are from seventy to ninety feathers in .
pound. A single bird rarely furnishes
more than dozen fine feathers; and the
birds themselves, if fine ones, are valued
at one thousand dollars per pair.

Building Good Roads.

The enthusiasm over sgood roads,
wrought by the visit Of Governor San
ders to our parish, seems to have abated
somewhat. The police jury, having no
reliable and positive data upon which to
proceed with intelligence, deferred &C
ton indefinitely and the Inauguration of
the work here seems adistant probability.
In other parishes, where the work is
under way, results are not encouraging,
if we are to judge by the following:
The police jury. says the .Natchitoches
Enterprise by unanimous vote adopt
ed an ordinance providing for the inau-
guration Of the work in this parish, but
at the Same time, it amended the ordin-
anee submitted by the Governor so as to
retain the power of locating the roads;
Of issuing the certificates Of payment,
which we're to pay for them and Of super
vising the expenditure Of the money.
aThe Enterprise thought at that time
that the estimate of the cost made by the
committee was much too low, but having
no reliable data as guide, it made no
criticism on the subject,
sThis question of cost has always been
q most important one and it is only re-
Gently that any definite information on
the subject has been attainable.
Tho Mansfeld Enterprise. in its issue
Of last week, states that at q meeting Of
the police jury of De Soto Parish. held
On Monday Of that week, the good roads
work there was received and the follow.
ing facts disclosed:
The psfish has paid ont since Sept

ters Of road have been built, but part
Of the above $18. .790.55, namely. $3.50

Unique Project.

President Frank M. Miller, of the
State Game Commission, accompanied
BY Judge Thompson. took ride on the
Dos Girls, one OF the commissions patrol
boats, through Lake des Allemands,
LIST week.
The party entered Bayou L'Eglise. in
the rear Of Edgard, and looked into the
sdvsability Of establishing the buffalo
fah industry in the hke.
Mr.. Niller's belief is that Bayou LIE
glise = = Asal spot for establishing q
breeding place for buffalo and catfish.
These flsh spawn during Spring in the
different bsyous and lagoons connected
with the lake, whore the water is shallow
and conducive 10 The rapid Matching Of
the eggs thus deposited at random.
However, upon invsstigstion, it has been
found that the waters being clear and
more or less lucid, these eggs are readily
discovered and devoured BY The small
fish.
Old fishermen have observed that after
each flow OF river water from the crsvas-
ses into Lake Des AIlemands, the in.
creased propagation Of the varieties Of
fish above mentioned has been apparent,
and accordingly they have reached the
conclusion that swhite water is essential
and spawn deposited under such condi-
tions hatch to perfection.
The fish industry has therefore re-
vived and proepered after each succeed
ing inundation. What has been done by
fate, Mr.. Miller and the Government
Experts viii attempt to do by means Of
canal reaching the river.
A pumping outfit there, il necessary,
win transmit the river water to Bayou
LEgise, where ideal conditions will
realize Tor the purposes in view.
Other advantages are to be derived
from this projected canal. Hunters will
have easy access to the lake and motor
bosts win ply therein. transporting
pleasure parties to this beautiful body
Of water, the .West End Of st. John.

The boat will run on schedule time,
making trip every fifteen minutes with
or without passengers. The schedule
viii be announced % tie near future,
and the lessees win adhere strictly
thereto.
We predict that the travelling public
will become accustomed to this innova-
ton which is but another evidence OF
the progressive spirit OF the age.
The new boat is being built wide
enough to cross horse and buggy on
it's deck, thus eliminating the necessity
of having fat boat for the purpose.
