Always an Inopportune fine.

The pathos of the present cam
paign in Louisiana is furnished
by the explanatory and unhappy
group of newspapers in the State
which have always talked fol
prohibition, are published in pro-
hibition communities and are
now forced to explain why, on
the first test as to the statewide
sentiment upon prohibition, they
are lined up politically with the
opponents of prohibition.
Florida Parishes is the latest
recruit to this unhappy band.
Florida Parishes, according to its
own statement, has always been
a sturdy and uncompromising op-
ponent to the Demon Rum; a con-
sistent warrior against John Bar
leycorn; so devoted to the cause
that it would not publish liquor
advertising fearing that even the
sight of the printed name might
arouse an unholy thirst. Wei
doubt not that Florida Parishes
has often expressed its desire
for the speedy coming of the day |
when the saloon and its wares
should be forever banished from
our midst.
Naturally, when it deserts the
prohibition standard upon the
dawn of the first opportunity of
these dreams of wide
ming the dry area of Louisiana,
the Parishes finds that it has
something to explain. 1t blandly 4
refers to prohibition in this cam
paign as a forced issue, " states
that it has mo reasonable ex- !
suse" for raising its inopportune /
rest, and adds: ii

Bird Msara Artificial Leo.

Strutting on the farm OF John r.
Lott. near Freehold N. j.. is the only
wild bird in the country that has an
artificial leg. This handsome cock
pheasant owes it's life to the skill OF
DR.. August r. White a dentist
The pheasant, with one leg broken
of Just above the foot. and apparently
injured ia a battle with cats. was
found on the farm several weeks ago
and was taken to the Lott home.
Doctor White. a sportsman. heard
OF the bird and made an artificial
brass leg, which he fixed to the in
jured stump with silver wires. After
the pheasant had worn tie new leg a
week. the wires broke. Then Doctor
White fashioned another leg to at
srugly about the remnant Of broken
bone. and this time procured a sup
port upon which the bird could walk
with apparent ease.

Bleachinu Linen.

The linens of olden days were handed
down from mother to daughter. but
such is far from being the case to-day.
owing to the difference in bleaching.
Where formerly it took months of
sunshine and rain to bring about the
desired Wilderness. now it is done in
two or three days by means Of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach. ac-
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly. So it is not a poor idea to
buy linen which is not yet bleached
white. as a few trips to the laundry
will remedy this. and in addition it is
cheaper, for the bleaching process is
a costly one. Then. too, the use OF
tablecloths and sheets would be
heightened. appreciably. since over
bleaching rots the fbers. This is why
blouses seem to melt away in spots.
