A TIP OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS

Gamma Crucis," the uppermost star
of the Southern Cross" may be seen
by an observer at New Orleans
at this season. BY facing the SOUTH
and using the constellation of the
"Crow" as a finder, if one will extend
the line of the two stars on the eastern
side of the quadrangle of this group
towards the horizon, Gamma Centauri'
will be easily noticed, as it is quite
bright, being of the second magnitude
Prolong this line still further, and al
most at the horizon, about 9 o'clock
the highest star of the Southern Cross
will appear
While this star may be distinctly
seen on very clear night, close atten
ton is necessary to find it. This
trouble will be repaid by the interes
one naturally finds in extending ones
heavenly vision, and it has beer
thought that journay far south o.
| this location would be required for the
purpose. Ordinary opera glasses should
be used for finding this star, although
lit is visible to some without the ait
| of glasses.

PREVENTION OF MOTH DAMAGE

The various substances used to keep
away moths, such as tobacco, camphor,
napthalene cones or balls, tarred paper
and cedar chips, have no effect If the
eggs are already in the clothes. Ento-
mologists in the department therefore
recommend a thorough beating, shak-
ing, and brushing of all articles likely
to attract moths before they are laid
away for the summer. The brushing
of garments Is especially important in
order to remove eggs which may have
escaped notice If the articles are
quite free from eggs or larvae when
laid away, the odor from the various
Irepellants already mentioned or from
cedar chests and wardrobes will serve
| to keep the moths away. This odor
however, lessons with age, so that the
protection it affords is greatly decreas
ed after few years. For this reason
when furs and other valuable garments
are wrapped in tarred paper or placed
In sacks of tarred paper these contain
ers should be renewed every year OF

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

When It was announced that ex-
Governor Jared Y. Sanders had hired
a hall, in the city of his former
triumphs, in which to address the
people," public curiosity was considera-
bly, piqued. AS he is Federal Office
holder and therefore debarred from
"pernicious political activity" it nat
urally followed that he must either de-
liver mild and innocuous speech, or
he must cast his all upon the die, and
have a great and wonderful message to
deliver, one which would strike terror
to his foes and which would bring new
honors and greater prestige to himself.
When 1t was further told that he, the
late JULY good fellow had joined the
ranks of the prohibitionists, and while
giving aid and counsel to the anti
saloon forces against his former
friends, at the same time was prepared
with a scathing arraignment OF Gov.
Halls administration, and held a set
tied opinion against the plan of holding
a constitutional convention, the gen.
eral interest was the more excited.
He spoke.
He braved the disapproval of his
Federal superiors.
And now every one is asking why
Pour quot? What did he mean by it,
and what does he get by it?
Beyond showing animosity to Gov
Hall, and a deep-seated soreness
against the city ring that gave him
promises but not votes, and a mere
hint that in certain circumstances he
would act with the prohibitionists, the
Wanted address was but the loud burst
ing Of bag of gas.
There was absolutely no message
There was no threat, or arraignment
worthy of the name. The public must
conclude that Mr.. Sanders either takes
himself too seriously, or that he has
taken mischievous pleasure in max
ing believe" that the dead lion has
come to life, even though in so doing
he must needs bray like donkey.

NEW PUBLICATION FOR SWINE
BREEDERS.

Helpful Hints on Hog Husbandry"
is the title of circular just published
by the Louisiana Swine Breeders AS
ISOLATION, of which E. L. Jordan, Pro-
lessor of Animal Industry, L. s. o., is
secretary.
AS indicated by its title, this circular
contains much valuable information for
the swine breeder. Such topics as Pre-
pairing Hogs for Exhibition, What Con-
stitutes Breeder, The Marketing
Problem, Crops for Hogs, The Feeding
Problem, Hog Cholera, etc., are dis
cussed fully.
The Louisiana Swine Breeders Asso-
citation is composed of more than one
hundred progressive farmers and bust
ness men of the State who are inter
ested in the production of better pork.
The efforts of the Association are
largely devoted to demonstrating the
fact that just as good hogs of any
breed can be produced in Louisiana as
in any other section of the country
The exhibits will be shown at the
State Fair this fall. In addition to the
liberal prizes offered in open competi.
ton, the State Fair management Is
offering special prize list Of $25OOC
which is open only to members of the
Association. Through a card system
the Secretary is keeping in close touch
with what each breeder has for sale al
lany time and is rendering valuable
service in bringing together sellers ant
purchasers of first-class stock.

After the insertion of an amendment
substituting each congressional district
for the original provision of twenty-five
delegates at large, the Senate passed
the Sundberry constitutional conven-
ton bill late Wednesday evening by a
vote of 81 to 10. The convention will
contain 131 delegates as the bill now
stands, one from each parish and New
Orleans ward and one additional dele.

Rapides and East Baton Rouge. The
bill reached the House Thursday from
the Senate. Unless there is a suspen
sion of the rules, it will lie over until
Friday for reference to committee

PATHS AND THEIR FINISH.

A former member of the Kentucky
Legislature, now engaged in the prac-
tice of law in Louisville, tells OF the
time that the question of permitting
osteopaths to practice was mooted
one in the legislative body. There
were arguments pro and con until the
speech of mountaineer statesman did
much toward settling the question. OBJ
tanning recognition, he spoke somewhat
as follows:
"Im in favor Of letting those osteo.
paths practice. The homeopathic prac.
tice, the allopaths practice. All the
other paths practice And after all
we may do we'll to remember that, as
the poet says, the paths all lead but to
the grave"

AS TO SUPPORTING GOV. HALL

While our opinion, as expressed else
where, is that the people do not really
want a constitutional convention, at
the same time, there is no doubt that
the question has gone so far that 1t
cannot be rightly settled, except by
them. If the Sundberry bill retains
the item of submission Of decision as
to advisability of holding constitu-
ton, to the people themselves, 1t
should have the support of every DEM
ocrat in the Legislature. Tn fact
members who are blocking legislation
on this question, in every conceivable
manner, will find it hard to explain
their course to the people later.
East and West Feliciana are in an
anomalous position in this regard.
They helped to elect Gov. Hall, and
yet at the same time, elected senator
who though nominally Hall man, il
one may judge by his speech imme
diately after Gov Halls election, when
he declared himself "as following the
banner of Gov. Hail." has not sup
ported the administration in depend
able way, even while enjoying some
of its patronage. Like Peter of old, he
seems to have followed" long way
off.
The Felicianas have thus been de
barred from giving Gov, Hall the sup
port that his majority at their poll!
warrants. It should impress thu
voters that to elect governor, with
out assuring him Of adequate support
is to render their own wishes, as eX
pressed by the selection of him rattle
than another, abortive. Ae we hav'
said many times before, legislator
should be chosen for other reasons
than mere popularity, if one woul
make legislation more than an idl
game of political chess.

It makes no difference how much a
teacher knows. All examinations as to
the teachers knowledge of the facts OF
history or arithmetic or anything else
are humbugs. The essential thing in a
teacher is this: Does he understand
the child, is he anxious, patient and
willing to teach the child, and has he
the art to make the child want to learn?
Take such teacher, with no knowl-
edge whatever, for instance, of algebra,
and let him learn with the child, and

RECIPE FOR MAYHAW JELLY.

Select good firm fruit and If little
unripe, Mayhaws make better jelly.
1t will not make great difference In
the flavor to have about one-third OF
the amount used green. Wash the
fruit, remove stem and blossom end,
cut in half and cover with water, cook
until the fruit is very tender, drain
through a flannel or hair cloth jelly
bag. Test for the proportion OF sugar
to be used before making up the entire
quantity of the juice by taking ! cup
of juice and Il cup of sugar, boil the
Juice and add the sugar and cook until
it gives good jelly test; that is, until
1t fakes in sheets from the side of the
spoon or wooden paddle. II syrupy try
again, using y cup of sugar to l cup
of Juice; if thick and tough, test by
cooking another cup of juice with full
cup of sugar. In this way the proper
ton of sugar to juice may be determin-
ed, and that proportion should be used
in making up the remainder OF the
Juice. Since there are number OF
varieties of Mayhaws no definite recipe
for making Mayhaw jelly can be given.
lit has been found that the mistake
most often made is adding too much
sugar. A proportion Of three cups OF
Juice to two cups of sugar has proven
successful most frequently. Miss Alice

popuLARlzlne THE CONVENTION.
New Orleans states.l


The broad and patriotic action of the
proponents of the constitutional con.
vention in amending their bill to meet
every rational objection to it leaves no
ground for further opposition to the
measure. 1t robs those who have been
contesting the convention on political
grounds of pretty nearly all their
ammunition.
They said convention was going to
be forced on the people regardless or
their wishes.
That is answered by an amendment
which invites free expression OF the
peoples will as to whether or not there
shall be convention.
They said the convention was going
to put through the Governors old plan
of paying the baby bonds and various
repudiated obligations of the State.
That is answered by specific inhi'
| DltlOn on the SUBJECT
They said there was combination
between the state and city administra
ton by which the city was to gel
through control of the State Central
Committee the twenty-five delegates al
large and thus dominate the ccaven
Ition
That is answered by an amendment
that these delegates must be chosen
in state convention or state primary
They said the convention was goinl
Ito ram down the threats of the people
scheme to raise their taxes and a
the same time extend for months o
years the lives of the present office
holders.
That is answered by the clear pre-
vision that when the people vote TO
or against the convention and for it
delegates they will say whether or nc
they want the new constitution sui
mitted to them for their ratification
, rejection.
These are the vital issues raised b
those who have been opposing the col
vention. The fact that they have bee
!, promptly met and disposed OF is OF /
, self an answer to the implication
dark and direful plotting against tn
interests of the people.
No man who is not opposed to a col
vention, or who is not trying to defes
the Sundberry bill to discredit the stat
administration, or who is not trying
get even with the city organization
who is not seeking political advantag
has in our opinion any just excuse IL
Istill seeking the defeat of the Sun,
