FASHION SAVING THE LEvEEs
Demand for Muskrat Fur Has Startes
Campaign Against These Pests
Of the South.

"Womens hats are doing mu.h to
save the levees along the MISSISSIPPI
river in Louisiana" said Henry
Lewis. This statement sounds fan
tah.i but OF the fashionable fur hats
it is certainly true.
"Muskrats, which for years have
cost the state no end of trouble and
thousands of dollars through their
depredations In the levees. are now
most eagerly sought by the millinery
trade throughout the country, and
hunters in Louisiana are hunting them
in lieu of other game.
For years the muskrats have bur
rowed In the levees, and in nearly
every case where there has been a
crevasse along the river f,ont the
cause was traced to musk at hole
The state has tried several means to
get rid of the pests, but without sue
cess.
During the last winter the mil
linery stores in New Orleans bought
several hundred muskrat furs from
hunters in the different parishes and
placed them on turbans. which now so
resemble a cat curled up on milady's
coiffure.
Several OF the more progressive
hunters quickly realized that musk
rats were marketable and gave up the
pursuit of ducks and other game.
One hunter alone in February killed
5000 rats. for which he received 20
cents apiece.
Other hunters have followed the
lead of this mighty nimrod. and 1t be
gins to look as If the state Will soon
rid itself of the Industrious rodents
whose borrowings have for many
years endangered the cities and
towns along Louisiana's river fronts.'

TEN DAYS OF WOE
THAT AWFUL PERIOD WHEN eA'
BY MUST BE NAMED.
Writer Pleads That at Least a Year
Be Allowed Parents for That I'm
portant Proceedng-Rela-
tives' Unkindness.


The Medes and Persians were an
unyielding and an arbitrary people.
but 1t is not recorded that they had
such an inhuman law as this, regu-
lation requiring that the baby must be
named within ten days. The name
must be filed with the board OF health
within that period 1t cannot be
changed without proceedings so diff
cult and vexatious that most people
will prefer to leave the name as 1t
stands or will change it without legal
sanction.
Surely no one should be obliged to
name his baby In less than year. Not
only the board of health, but doctors,
nurses. friends and relatives-especial-
ly relatlves-should be forbidden I'M
der pain OF temporary ostracism from
asking that embarrassing question:
We'll, what are you going to name
the baby?" If you don't name him or
her as soon as 1t is born they are
you. The doctor. perhaps, is not to
be blamed as much as the others.
The law prods him on. He has got
to get 1t on the books within ten days.
II he doesn't he will not be thought
punctilious inquisitor. The board OF
health will have its eye on him. But
for the others there is no such excuse.
Their action is contra bonos mores,
and quite objectionable. Their inquir-
les are oppressive and unjust. They
know not charity nor the rudiments
thereof. They do not have the first
conception of the torture which the
haggard parent has endured.
First of all, there's the. dictionary.
It's long enough-the lord knows. But
no one realizes how few good names it
contains until he has attempted to get
one out of it. He thumbs it for weeks
or months together. Always with the
same result! He flies to the family
genealogy and the genealogies of all
the collateral branches. Result no bet
ter, He calls in his friends, even
his enemies But they cannot help
him. He becomes q subject of melan-
choly and hopeless pessimist But
this Is not all Possibly boy is ex-
pected-and after great tribulation a
boys name is selected-but the baby
turns out a girl. Or vice versa.
The process must begin all over
again, with the knowledge Of what
was accomplished in months must
now be done in days-in ten days!
The parent may escape nervous pros.
tration, but who will doubt that his
vital forces have been impaired? And
who should be surprised that names
selected under such duress and intim.
idation don't always stand? Yet folks
are surprised when change is made.
Clearly the law is villainous, and the
manners of our friends and relatives
are beyond description.-New York

DYNAMITE USED AS NARCOTIC
Discovered as "Dope" by Mexicans-
II Is Said to Produce the Most
Astonishing Dreams.

"Opium, marihuana. morphine and
cocaine are all insipid drugs when 1t
comes to dynamite for the induction
of really enjoyable sleep" said
Henry Bexter. mule driver. WHO has
been engaged In construction work on
the Pacific coast, according to the
Mexican Herald.
Il tried it and guess know. Dyna-
mite as narcotic. or dope, was dis
covered some years ago by Mexicans
employed in loading powder holes on
railroad construction work. Americans
have long known the headache produc-
ing power OF nitroglycerin and have
dreaded the handling of powder in any
shape or entering places where ex-
plosions had taken place, before the
smoke had been cleared out A tiny
bit OF the grease smeared on the nose
will produce nauseating headache
which will last three days. But it re-
mained for the poems to find out that
dynamite was luxury.
Dynamite eating is common on the
Pacific slope among Indians who have
worked upon the Southern Pacific rail-
road construction v ork. They take
small grain of it, the size of a tiny
pill, and dissolve 1t in glass Of te'

they awaken they have headache
