HAVE SEEN MUCH OF HISTORY
Birds and Animals Still Living Whose
Memories Could Take Them Back
over Century's Passage.

It is startling fact that IL some ami
mails could tell their life they would
be able to recall events which hap
pened more than a century ago. A
Russian eagle, for instance, would be
able to remember watching with
greedy eyes as one by one the French
soldiers under Napoleon fell exhaust
ed out of the ranks in their awful re-
treat from Moscow in 1912. There are
crocodiles alive in India today which
saw the first English traveller set
foot there, while there are whales in
the sea which may have skirted the
coast of France when the British in
vaded it in 1415. A great many ele-
plants could recall historical events
Of hundred years ago, while there are
ravens still living whose memory
could go back twice that period.
Talking Of birds, the parrot, the
crow and the swan, often live a hun
dred years-that is, of course, II they
do not meet with misfortune-while
the heron will live sixty years. Geese
and pelicans will survive half CEN
fury, and the sparrow forty years.
Pigeons, linnets, canaries, cranes and
peacocks will live to we'll over twenty
years, while the soldfinch, partridge,
pheasant, lark and nightingale will
live from fifteen to eighteen years. the
robin twelve years, and the thrush
and hen ten years.

of ten slabs of the finest jade, ex-
Quisitely engraved with Chinese char
acters. The text is in both Chinese
and Manchu. with the most elaborate
ornamentations on the first and last
pages. This queer jade volume was
made at the order of Emperor Kang-
hsi, who lived from 1862 to 1922, and
1t is a family document of great his"

relic was sold on account of the finan-

imperial family, who lived in retire
ment on a limited income since the es-
Enlistment OF the Chinese republic.

This method of tying up allows free

air, not heat, that is needed to dry

to tie up 300 or 400 ears.

Found, a Volunteer.

A certain member of the municipal
court of Paris has been tireless In his
activities in behalf of the less for.
tunate inhabitants of his arrondisse-
ment or ward. He makes tour each
morning of the streets Of his crowded
quarter of the town to see what PEG.
pie in trouble he can help. He directs
also a soup kitchen. The other day
he learned that the cook was gone.
In spite of his somewhat advanced age
this valuable assistant had enlisted In
the army--or married wife or some
thing-anyway, he had vanished. The
councilman secured the town for a.
substitute. In vain. Never mind, the
poor folks must not lack their soup.

The only way left open by the
act for the PrOgressives to get
candidates before the voters, MT
Millsaps holds, was by nomination
papers, the date for the filing of
which has now expired.
May Write on Tickets.
The only course now open to
the PrOgressives is to write the
names Of their candidates on the
tickets in the general election,
August 81. In the case of St.
Mary and Lafourche, blank bal
lots, devoid of names and party
will be issued, it seems.
In 1914, the Progressives, in
their fight for Congress and for
members of the State Board of
Equalization and Railroad Com
were allowed to make
by convention or eau
Gus. This concession was made
by the Legislature of 1914, and is
covered bv Act 48, of that year.
Under the. act, the Progressives
might have made nominations by
convention or caucus in the pres
ent fight, Mr.. Millsaps thinks,
but for the limitation to party
contained in the con-
VentiOn act.

THE PACKING PLANT SITE,

The proposition to establish a
large packing plant in this part
of the state is one that should be
OF great interest to the people of
Donaldsonville and vicinity.
There are several cOgent rea-
sons why Donaldsonville is the
most eligible place in this section
for the lOc alton of such an indus
try, its position on the main line
OF great railway system and on
the bank of the Mississippi river
giving it manifest advantages as
a shipping and distributing point
with competitive rail and water
freight rates. To these are add
ed the inducements of an ample
site free Of cost, exemption from
taxation for a term of ten years,
and free water and power for ope-
ration for a reasonable period,
constituting a combination that
ought to be strong enough to as
sure the selection Of our city as
the domicile of the proposed
plant.
Napoleonville is making an
earnest effort to land this enter
prise, and it is without tinge
OF lll-Wlll or other than the most
friendly spirit of competition to-
ward our progressive down-the-
bayou neighbor that we call at
tention to the superior natural
advantages Of Donaldsonville and
the other inducements offered by
this city.
Donaldsonville is the best plac e
for the packing plant and wei
should get it. X we don't, Ma
poleonville is our second choice.

: The people living along Bayou
Teche are complaining about the
water lilies which are choking
up that beautiful stream and max
ing the water stagnant and dan
ger to health. The Teche and
the Lafourche are sister streams
and they wind their way through
the most fertile farms in the
world, and it is indeed a shame
that they should be neglected
and made to be menace to health
instead of being conducive to it.

It was very kind of the pickle
manufacturers to play into the
hands Of the sweet June brides as
they did at their meeting in Chi
cago when they declared "Pickle
eaters are invariably the sweet
est-tempered and most affectio-

groom gets sour and disagreeable,
all wiley will have to do will be
to pass the pickles and insist that

easy. The newspaper printed in

the towns where the home mer-

fects and the merchants get the
