DESIGNS FOR sACHET CAPS
Thing for This Latest Very Popu-
lar Fancy.

Should be of handkerchief linen or
nainsook, the heavier the better, for
the odor of the sachet must be safely
confined within the caps dainty linn
it's it would escape through a thin
material. Cut from the goods round
piece about 16 inches across and mark
out the edges with a thimble and pen
Gil for scallops. Buttonhole the seal
lops and edge with a narrow yalen-
ciennes lace to relieve the somewhat
heavy appearance of the cap. Run
narrow casing about an inch and
quarter above the scallops for the
elastic. In the center work a solid
design in white punch work, for eye
let's would permit the odor Of the
sachet to escape. Make a fiat, three
inch square sachet bag of the mate
rial used in the cap (nainsoon or
handkerchief linen will be heavy
enough), thin layer of cotton and
plenty of sachet, and haste it to the
inside Of the cap right under the CEN
ter design. Use basting stitch, with
very tiny stitches on the outside and
large ones inside, so that the hastings
will not be conspicuously prominent
on the outside. Place twisted rib
bon about the cap over the elastic cas-
ing and a small ribbon bow in the ex-
act center to the scaIloped edge. The
sachet cap is then ready for ''busi-
ness" Worn for an hour or SO the
cap will impart delightful, If some
what fieeting, fragrance to the tresses,
but worn overnight the perfume will
sometimes cling to the hair for sew
eral days.

SPELLING STUCK THE JURY
Point of Information They Wanted In
yoved No Great Legal knowl-
edge, If Judge Had 1t.

Here IS one that was told at a tea
given BY Miss Geraldine Farrar, the
singer, when one of the party re
tsred to the judiciary and the pc
culiar cases that frequently come be-
fore the courts:
Some time ago there was a homi-
eide case in a western court in which
there was considerable doubt as to
the guilt Of the accused. The trial
tdge seemed to share the popular
belief.
Gentlemen Of the jury, said he,
IN concluding his charge, If the evil
ie1ce, in your minds, shows that
pneumonia was the cause Of the mans
death, you cannot convict the pris-
0ner.'
"Whereat the jury retired and in
about ten minutes the constable re-
turned and presented himself before
the Judge.
Your honor he remarked, the
gentlemen of the jury want some in
formation
ION what point Of evidence" asked
the Judge.
None. judge was the rejoinder of
the constable. They want to know
Tow to spell pneumonia. ''"-Phila-

L. Anderson Smith, writing to a
friend in the Old Country, located at
Killam, Alberta, Says:
Anyone taking up land will find Al
berta an ideal province. The soil is a
rich black loan, varying from 6 to IL
inches in depth. The land here in
this district is not wholly open prairie.
At intervals, sometimes closely, some
times widely scattered, there are
small plots of poplar and willows.
These generally grow round some
small depression in the land, and the
snow drifts here in the winter and
melts in the spring filling these
sloughs (province "slews") with soft
water. Nearly all these sloughs have
old buffalo tracks to them, for it was
from them that they always got their
water. The poplars are very useful
for building barns and hen-houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame
grasses, such as timothy, bronze and
western rye grass do remarkably well.

Times.Picayune's Song Lovers Pic
ture Game.

The Times-Picayune OF New Orleans is
offering a number of cash prizes for the
solution OF ~ puzzle pictures, comprising
its Song Lovers Picture Game.
Thih is one Of the most interesting fea-
lures offered by any paper in this terri
tory for number of years, and great
many people of Louisiana and Mississippi
are at the present time playing the game.
A picture is published in each issue of
the paper, representing the title to some
song. A list Of these songs is gotten up
in catalog form. One does not have to
know anything about songs or the words
of songs to solve the pictures. All that is
necessary is to get the picture and then
look through the catalog until you find
the title that, in your notion, best fits
the picture.
One thousand Dollars is offered to the
person sending in the most correct an
swers to the II pictures, and Tenty-five
Hundred Dollars IN cash is the total
amount OF all the prizes originally offered.
I In order to stimulate interest in the
picture game, and to add new subscrib-
ers, the management of the Times-Pic-
ayune has offered to double the amount
of any prize won by any person who sends
in a new subscriber paid six months in
advance.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound OF imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for particulars.
Take Halls Family Pills for constipa-
ton.

A most unfortunate affair occurred just
over the levee in front of st. Joseph on
Wednesday, when white man named
ISAIAH Ausman shot an old negro named
Charley Mitchell. As we understand
were no eye witnesses to the shooting ex-
cept the combattants. The negro shot
was quite an old man and very feeble.
The weapon used was shot gun which
was discharged at very close range, the
load taking effect in the right arm close
to the shoulder and almost tearing it
entirely away. The wounded man was
taken to the sanitarium of Drs. Lilly &
Trice and the. arm amputated. After sew
eral days the patient was removed to the
parish Jail and placed in the hospital
ward where he died on Friday night.
Both slayer and slain were fishermen.
Ausman's story of the occurrence is to
the effect that the negro entered his boat
during his absence and stole some of his
effects, and that he came over to town
to make affidavit against him and meet
ing the old negro near the ramp tried to
bring him along. The negro refused to
accompany him and raised his stick to
strike, whereupon Ausman cooked his
gun, which the negro grasped and in the
struggle tie gun was discharged, Ausman
claiming accidentally. As stated, this is
! Ausmans story. The old negro, feeble in
both mind and body, was really incap-
able OF telling his story, though some of
the prisoners in Jail who were placed in
the hospital room t. nurse him say the
old man acknowledged to having attempt
ed to strike Atlsman.

CONTINUE THE FIGHT TWO
WEEKS LONGER.

A party of agents OF the Farm Demon
stration Work, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, have been visiting the cotton
plantations about st. Joseph and Water
proof the past week. In the party are
W. b. Mercier, Field Agent for Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Tennessee, Mason
Snowden, State Agent for Louisiana, and
5. w. Vance, Local Agent for Tensas
and south half of Madison parishes. Mr..
Mercier's headquarters are in Washing
ton, d. c., and he is making his annual
inspection trip through Arkansas and
Louisiana.
Mr.. Snowden, as spokesman for the
party, said:
"We have found some as fine fields OF
cotton around Waterproof and st. Jo-
seph as there are anywhere in the State.
These fields are in high state of culti-
vation and the boil weevil is under good
control. The cotton is well fruited and
blooming beautifully.
Then there are fields OF good, bad
and Indifferent cotton, varying according
to weather conditions, labor supply, Wee
vii infestation, and the thoroughness with
which the tight has been made on the
weevil. Unquestionably, Tensas has had
the heaviest infestation of weevil ever
known in the parish, and there has been
better fight made on the weevil than
the planters have ever made. The re-
suits obtained by a thorough, persistent
weevil fight are now very apparent.
| "The cotton which has been well
fought is blooming and fruiting, while
the cotton that has only been cultivated
has practically ceased to bloom.
."We would advise all the planters and
the labor to continue the fight on the
weevil for the next two weeks. If these
punctured squares are kept picked and
destroyed for another two weeks, it will
mean the saving OF much cotton to the
farmers. 1t will delay the migratory pc
riod OF the weevil, which occurs when
the cotton becomes totally infested about
August 9th to 10th. Two weeks more
good, earnest fight on the punctured
squares will mean an insurance policy on
thousands of acres OF cotton in the par
ish. We arnestly urge all to keep up the
| fight"
