THE POPE SUFFERS
ANOTHER RELAPSE
But Turn For Worse Caused
Little Surprise
Because Physicians Repeated Ad-
vice Was Ignored by Pontiff
and Attendants
tBy the Associated Press.

Rome. April 1o.-Pope Plus X has
suffered q serious relapse. His IN
dition tonight was such as to arouse
the gravest fear. He showed great
weakness and his fever rose TO 103
degrees. The second relapse followed
a disregard for the physicians instruc-
tons. 1t was due to over-exhaustion
from several audiences the Pope gave
today and to exposure due to a change
of atmospheric. temperature.
The gravity Of the Pope's condition
makes prevalent the fear that the end
Of his pontificate Is approaching. Ac-
cOrding to the latest reports from the
sick oOm, although the temperature
had diminished slightly, the Pope was
much exhausted on account Of a per
sistent cough which caused consider
able pain in the chest.

Says the Amite City Sun: Irish
potatoes are bringing a good
price in northern markets and
old Louisiana is shipping out a
larger quantity this year than
ever before, and they are excel
lent potatoes with a larger yield
than during previous years. In
fact, all things considered, this
state and especially Tangipahoa
parish has been particularly fav-
Iored this, season both as to CHM
ate and magnificent crops OF ber-
|ries and truck, both of which
have brought excellent prices.
Taking the berries, the truck and
the milk which has been shipped
from this parish the past ninety
days and it will crowd a couple
of million dollars mighty close
and it is conservatively estimat,
ed that there were $40. 900 worth
of the finest berries in the world,
still left in the fields, because
there was no demand for them
at this time of the year.

propagation. Their present val
ne has led to their threatened
entire destruction and it is man.
ifest that we should prevent such
a result if possible.
The Bureau has been expert
menting with the Carolina and
Texas terrapinzand at Beaufort,
South Carolina, has produced
young terrapin in captivity that
are now three years old and their
domestication seems to be a
success. AS we have practically
domesticated the oyster, moving
it from place to place to secure
proper feeding grounds, so we
may be able to domesticate the
high priced terrapin, but the
latter has to be impounded as it
will get away from control at
once unless fenced in in some
way. :,
The Lower Coast Gazette will
be glad to hear from some Of
our correspondents as to what
has been done and what is now
doing in catching or in the cul'
ture of these Diamond-b back ter
rapin in our parish.

Diamond Back Terrap;n.

P%laquemines parish has one
asset that not thus far has been
adequately exploited and that is
that rare delicacy known as the
Diamond-back Terrapin. We
don't know that our resources
in this respect have been fully
exploited but years ago these
terrapin, then worth fifty dollars
a dozen in Washington and Bal
timore, were reported as we'll
domicilcd on the Lower Coast 50
to rs miles below New Orleans.
These terrapin. being so val
liable, has led to their investiga-
ton by the u. S. Bureau OF
Fisheries and from some recent
data given out we now learn
that there are four we'll defined
species along the South Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts Of the United
States. These include the Caro-
lima terrapin with a range from
South Virginia to Florida, the
Chesapeake terrapin, perhaps the
most noted, which are found in
Chesapeake Bay and southwark
along the coast. This is probab-
ly nearly identical with the
Carolina diamond backed terra
pin.
The other three varieties are
the Florida terrapin, the Louis
lana terrapin and the Texas
terrapin. Varying topograph-
ical and water salinity conditions
may produce the distinguishing
characteristics Of these severa'
species.
Owing to the high value placed
on these terrapin, the Bureau Of
Fisheries has undertaken their

Good Roads in Plaque
mines Parish.

Now that after three years de-
Law we hope soon to be connect
ed through with the parish of
st. Bernard and with the city of
New Orleans from the court
housavat Pointe ala Hache, we
should begin to consider further
extensions OF. the good roads
idea. Thesformation of the new
Jefferson laquemines Drainage
District, The rear line of which
begins at the road behind the
ferry house in Gretna OF the
New Orleans Jackson Street
Ferry, proceeding thence to the
Algiers out fall canal crossing OF
the Grand Island, traverses the
parish of Jefferton that far and
there abuts on the parish OF
Plaauemines. We now under
stand that the Jefferson author
tiles would agree to construct a
shell road along the above de-
scribed line in Jefferson parish
to the out fall canal, provided
the parish of Plaquemines would
organize a road district to build
the shell road from the outfall
canal on to the river at Belle
Chase a distance of 2 IA miles
and thence down to Oakyille, Z
miles additional, a total OF 9l-A
miles.
This short piece Of road would
thus put the West Bunk of our
parish in all the way down tc
Oakville, at a cost to that road
district, or of the Plaquemines
part Of it, Of less than forty
thousand dollars. This would be
(. Of enormous benefit to all prop
erty on that side of the river as
far as the shell road ran. We

HOG MARKET FOR STATE FAIR
Plans Discussed on Northern Pacific
Livestock Speciai"-Train
Attracts Crowds.

Ulen.-The Minnesota state fair is
to become great hog market for the
farmers of the state. This fact was
brought to light in talk with w. M.
Hagerman, the hog specialist on board
the Northern Pacific-College of Agri-
culture Livestock Special train.
Mr.. Hagerman said that at the fair
last year something like two hundred
hogs changed hands, and that this
year the number would be even
greater with favorable conditions.
The reason for the plan lies in the
fact that many farmers like to buy at
the fair because there they have the
pick of a large number of herds,
whereas when they go to buy from an
individual breeder they have the pick
of only one herd. The success of last
years trading, therefore, has led to
the decision to try to increase the
interest in the venture by fall. To
make the trading easy and expeditions
set of scales will be put in near the
swine building.

Substitute for Grass.

An interesting experiment in horti-
culture was made some time back at
the garden laid out at the site of the
King Edward VII. memorial statute in
Delhi, India. In order to ensure a
green surface at the time of the stone
laying ceremony, meth" (trigonella)
seed was sown when the grass was
planted. The meth sprang up in
about month and maintained green
surface throughout the cold weather,
which could be smoothly mown and
did not interfere with the growth of
the grass. The ground was allowed to
get dry at the beginning of the hot
weather, and within a week the
meth" had died out, leaving good
lawns in it's place. The METH" be-
longing to the order of "Leguminosae,"
acts as a manure and leaves the soil
richer in available heterogeneous mat
ter.

Affection Causes Dogs Death.

Natural affection on the part of q
dog was instanced in a remarkable
manner at Beaumont, in the province
of Soane-et-Loire, France, few days
ago. One of the inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest to gather
firewood taking with him the dog,
which he left to guard his coat and
basket of food while he wandered
about gathering wood. In his absence
the dog gave birth to three puppies,
and the wood gatherer, when he start
ed home, forgot to place the puppies
in the cart with their mother. During
the night the dog jumped over a fence
and ran the whole distance, some ten
miles, to the spot where the puppies.

in her mouth. Then she made two

the other two. Altogether she COW
