Modern Society Arrouance.

Manners seem to be largely a mat
ter of individual preference since there
is SO little harmony in opinion A wo-
man who condemns praise Of pretty
gown or becoming hat on the score
of bad taste will openly criticise her
neighbor for acts which are not to her
liking. This is, on the whole, a great
deal of arrogance shown in setting up
a standard and expecting the rest of
humanity to follow it.-Exchange.

SPILlED-INk REMEDIES.

If ink is spilled on carpet take
up every drop possible with warm
damp cloths, letting them lie to alb
sorb the ink. Follow this with
cloths wet in cold, sweet milk, rub
bing and dabbing vigorously. Wash
afterward with clear hot water, then
sift on, while damp, cornmeal or dry
sawdust, and let stand a day, brush
of, and wipe the spot over with al
cohol. Lacking cloths, crumpled pa
per, newspaper, or blotting paper can
be used to take up the ink. Never
wipe it, and take up about the edges
first, to save spreading.

Superstitions of Miners.

AS man of perilous occupation, the
miner has many superstitions. One
widespread belief is that to introduce
a rabbit into mine is to court disas-
ter, and many stories are current of
catastrophes heralded by the appear
ance of a white rabbit to the men
who were doomed to die. He would be
bold miner, too, who would whistle
at work for whistling is direct in
vitatfon to disaster, and though miners
are Clearly folk, very few ever wash
the small of their back, lest the roof
should fall on them.

Brought to Civilization.

The latest addition to civilization
Is the Watwa tribe, people who lived
like frogs in the unknown swamps
of Lake Bangweolo, Central Africa.
Thes swamps were quite impregnable,
and the people would not formerly al
low strangers to visit their haunts.
Now they have vacated the swamps,
and live on dry land. They have be-
come law-abiding, willingly pay their
taxes, and even escort government of.
f1cials to their old-time homes.

Evolution of Billiards

The development of the billiard ia
BILE has been interesting. In those
far back days when billiards seem first
to have become an indoor game, bill
lard table was about the size of a
big room. The average table was 80
feet long and Is feet wide. The size
was gradually and irregularly de-
creased, until the present standard
carom table was introduced at bill
lard tournament held in Samson hall,
Philadelphia, in 1864.

SOUTHWESTERN
REFLECTIONS.

OF all the yocatiors pursued bJ
man farming is mos important
and yet It is about the only ont
which men feel perfectly qualified
TO enter without previous prepara
ton. The shoemaker, the brick
layer, the carpenter, devote long
years to preparation and study
before they undertake the Tespon
sibllities of their trades, but it is
assumed that "any old thing" 1t
qualified to be a farmer Isn't il
perfectly plain that this one OF
the explanations Of the backward
ness of Southwest Louisiana, from
an agricultural standpoint
In order to be capable farmer
one must devote time and study
to the subject just as he would be
required TO do should he desire to
become physician, lawyer or a
banker.
Every country boy ought to be
educated at college of AgEicul
ture, and then he will understand
The principles and science Of fa' m
ing. which will be Of inestimable
value to him, and whatever pro
fession he may select to pursue
afterwards.
And because there are so many
farmers who have never enjoyed
the benefits OF an agricultural ed
ucation, the College of Agricul-
ture of the Louisiana State Uni
versiJy proposes TO bring the Col
lege to the farmer III a series of
popular short courses to be held
at different points III Louisiana.
AS soon as the plan was agreed
upon the Manager OF the South
west Louisiana Development Bu
ceau, communicated With Dean
Dodson and asked that three Of
these short courses be held in this
section OF Louisiana. In res
ponse adyices were received from
Professor Dodson to the effect
that one of these courses will be
held at Jennings, December IL,
i8, and 49, The sessions will eX-
tend through three days and the
following State aud National ex-
perts will participate ia them:
Professor Dodson; DR.. w. FL
Dalrymple; Mason Snowden; q
Il staples; G K. Nosom; II w
kiser; A. Il. Rawis and A. II
Moise. The lectures will be Illus
trated by i've stock, plants, Ian
tern slides etc and will be high
" entertaining aud Instructive.
These short courses ere designed
70 be educatiye and bgy viii deal
with practical questions concern
ing farming aud fsrm business,
the rural home and the interde
pendence existing between the
farmer, the merchant, che banker
and all classes of society.
The problems to be elucidated
strike deeply into our every day
work and modes of living, and |
they interest every class of our
society, business men, teachers
and students, as we'll as farmers
and housewives.
Aud the season at which the
jennings meeting is to be held is
more propitious. Crops have
been harvested and sold, or bous |

crops have been planted already, |
and farmers and business men are
