IRELANIBI THUMW=' lreservitg t ust *a4erUssb The recordsof every parish ought to be duplicated to such an estent that no possible calamity would leave the people without a copy. There is no more certain or econo mical biethod of securing records from annihilation than by printing them. All the talk of photography taking the place of printing in this matter is absurd. The type process is the cheapest and the best, and we fully agree with the remarks of the San Jose (Cal.) .Mercury on this subject. It says : The question of the preservation of public records has always been in more or less per plexing difficulties. Their ligbilities to destruction by fire is always im minent. even in the secure fireproof vaults, and then other causes, such as dampness, fading ink, the wear of frequent use, etc., are sonstantly at work effacing and obliterating to the end of total destruction. The trouble and cost to a community by the destruction of the records of a great city, like that by the Chicago fire, can hardly be estimated in dol lars and cents. Now there is no safe and economical remedy for this, which the people are blind to their own interest not to adopt.. It sim ply consists in priating the records, which could be done for a less sum than it now costs. to record them. They should be printed in large. clear type, from day to day as re ceived, and upon sheets properly ranged and numbered for binding. To save all Losts of copyi g, the printing should be done From the originals. the printer being deputised as Recorder, and sworn to do the work properly. The printed forms of deeds, mortgages, acknowledge ments. etc.. which, constitute the larger portion of the work, are or could be readily sase uniform, thus working a geat saving in. the mat ter of type-setting. The great ad vantage of plainness and conve nience for reference of this method requires no argument. And then, by duplicating copies, the liability to destruction by fire would be wholly obviated. Bankers, real estate dealers, searchers of records and others would gladly pay for copies for their own use, thereby reducing the cost of the work to the county. We would undertake--and so would any printer-to furnish twenty printed copies of all our public records, at what it now costs the county for a single copy. And would not the advantage be incalculable ? Would it not be well if our legisla tors would act upon this suggestion ? Pithy the Peet Wemea. A State street physician gives it as his opinion that four-fifths of the earnings of his profession are deo rived from women, though in this es* timate he does not include the very large and prosperous class of spe cialists whose services are required by men only. It is a sad comment ary upon the morals of the commu nity the exietence and prosperity of hundreds of specialists for men, and the picture is less encouraging on the other side, where so many women with health impaired by foolish dressing, improper diet and viola tions of the laws of nature, maintain an army of medical practitioners. It is only among civilized peoples that women are less healthful than men. Let doctors and the common surmise tell why this is so. The fact remains that there may be seen on the streets of Chicago twenty strong, handsome men above the age 80 tp one woman. The woman who is able to retain her youthful comeliness beyond 30 is the exception. Good looking men of middle or even advanced age are as common as ftagstones while a handsome matron is almost a cmri osity- Chicago Herald. -Perhaps the richest colored woman in the South is Mars.

The mean temperature for the week has been slightly above the normal of the corresponding week of past twenty years in the interior of the State, and about the normal elsewhere. There has been no appreciable rainfall in any of the sections from which reports for the week were re ceived. Showers are needed to bring up the cotton and corn in the north ern part of the State, and would be of great benefit to the growing crops of the southern and central sections. Another week of sunshine has bad a favorable effect on all classes of farm work. The percentage during the past week has ranged from 5 to 25 per cent. above the normal. GENERAL REIIARIC8 O10 OnIsRuina. Monroe-Half an inch of rain fell on the 19th; hail light; no damage therefrom. Rain very beneficial. Liberty Hill-Needing rain; corn all planted and cotton about half done. Delta-Buffalo gnats reported in the lower part of the parish; condi tion of the weather unfagable to seed that was planted and ahould be op; most of the planting from 20 to 80 days behind time. Point Pleasant-A little rain is needed to aid cotton and corn. Trinity-Weather favorable for the cotton eop, but injurious to corn and gardens; rain needed badly. Vidilia-Rain needed. corn very dry and, cotton coming up badly owing to dry weather. New Hope--Weather tavorable for plowing and planting; good stand of corn and growing finely. Baton Rouge-Dry weather of past week very favorable to cotton planting; cane plants in need of rain; corn doing well; all crops late for this season. Grand Cotesu-Crops rising nice ly, but work still behind. Kenner-Need rain very much; soil hard and dry; crops not snfer. ing much as yet, but can't stand the 'drouth much longer without damage; crops looking welt considering that we have had no rain for some time.

It is an interesting fact that not only is the presence of extensive growths of the willow found to be anti-malarial in its influencer bu; that from a certain species of this same beautiful tree, or its bark, is derived the comparatively new but well known antiseptis preparation called eslicine; it is of a pure, bitter taste, highly fobrifugal in quality, is largely used in iarions solutions, also in surgical operations, and is the most effectual preventire of putrefaction to the system yet known. For these purposes the willow is now being extensively and systematically cultivated. At the and of two years the switches are from four to seven feet long, and are cut and gathered into bunches like sheaves of wheat; in the stripping building they are steeped in water and the bark at the larger ends loosened for a couple of inches by machinery i one by one the switches. are placed in the mechanical stripper and with a pair of pliers are pulled through with a sudden jerk. being then wiped of with a wooden cloth, bundled, and laid away to dry. - All the leases and bark are dried and baled, the average yield being a toff to the acre, the willows commanding, when dry, $2p0per.ton.-Fragic Leslie's.
