of the floods covering the portion Of

ther floods come from the northern

MANNERS AT HOME.

The presence of good manners
is nowhere more needed or effec-
tive than in the household, and
perhaps nowhere more rare
Whenever the familiarity exists
there is tendency to loosen the
check upon selfish conduct which
the presence of strangers invol-
unfairly produces. Many per
sons who are kind and courteous
in company, are rude and care
less with those whom they love
best. Emerson says: Good
manners are made up of petty
sacrifices, and certainly nothing
can more thoroughly secure the
harmony and of place the family
circle than the habit of making
small sacrifices for one another.
Children thus learn good man
ners in the best and most nat
ural way. and habits thus acquir-
ed will never leave them. COur-
tesy and kindness will never lose
their power or their charm,
while all spurious limitations OF
them are to be dispised.- .-Er.

WHAT is THE NEED OF
SENATORS

There is absolutely no need
for the Legislative body, the Sc
nate of the United States. AS
we'll might We have two bodies
to make our laws in each town.
There is no need for state sena-
tors either. The whole system
is relic Of England when there
were two classes, OF cours. that
system still exists there, the no
bles and the conn mon people and
each body had a right to be rep
resented. Who represents the
people in Congress? Presuma-
bly, the house. And whom does
the senate represent. The trust
and those who ask for special
privilege.
Away with this great expense
to both nation and state. What
in the name of common sense is
the use Of this fifth wheel to the
national wagon? How close to
this parish are our two Louisiana
United States senators? Our
congressman can know the needs
of each of the parishes in this
district and he has been working
loyalty for these interests. Be-
cause thing had atask centuries
ago in an aristocratic form OF
government is no reason that it
is required in a democratic coun-
try and at the present time. Let

HOW TO GIT RID OF THR FLIES

Try as you may, you can 8et
all the flies. Even the most
careful householder will have too
many flies to risk having no

of farmers, who are as yet un-
willing to take the pains to re.
move the manure weekly and
trap or poison the remaining
flies. they will have these pests
literally by thousands.
Now, there may frequently be
some good excuses for not haul
ing out the manure, or not trapp-
ing or poisoning the flies, but
ignorance, Incidence and poverty
bined are not enough to ex-
cuse a man for not screening his
