(By Nenette Fabares, English Grade B, Belleville School. Every Louisianian loves his native State, and he delights in nothing more than to read and hear the history of its p~st, to learn of the heroic strug gles of her noble men and women who made our State the progressive one it is at present. The Louisiana we know differs greatly from the one that the brave La Salle and his followers found in 1682. At that time its inhabitants were barbarious Indians, who lived in wigwams in the forest. Indeed, the whole country was a vast forest which was the abode of scores of beasts, and swamps and bayous were the homes of aligators and snakes. To-day her mar velous development of the past one hundred years is but a forerunner of the more marvelous development of the future. Louisiana was first approached by DeSoto in 1541. The traitor Joliet and Father Marquette next descended the Missisippl in 1673. But the first at tempt to claim the land was made in 1682 by Robert La Salle, a French no bleman. Ianding his party near the mouth of the river, La Salle erected a flag and in the name of the King of France took possesson of all lands drained by the Mississippi and calling it Louisiana In honor of the King of France. Though numerous obstacles arose that prohibited the growth of the colony, still it gradually began to be settled in various parts. Because of the war with England, in 1763, France deemed it best to cede the colony to Spain. In 1800 it was receded to France. When in 1803 President Jef ferson proposed to purchase Louisiana, Napoleon refused, but later changed his mind and offered to sell the whole of Louisiana for $15,000,000. At that time Louisiana extended from British America to the Gulf of Mexico, irom the Alleghanies to the Rocky Moun tals. Territorial governments were formed and In 1812 the Orleans Terrl tory applied dor admission into the Uilon. As soon as this request was made In Congres, hot disputes immediately aree. Many New Englanders were bkter in opposition. They declared the Cleoles would never become pros pereu citizens of the United States, for they thought the Creoles could never be loyal to any country but France and Spain, and they were un able to see how a territory so recently purchaed as Louisiana could be fit for statehood. The business assmotiates of tbhe Louisiaians, in the South and - West. were in favor of the Orleans Territory becomlag a State. Joshua Quincy of Masyabusetts was most bit ter in opplsing the admission. In a eech ho declared that if Louisiana Mould be admitted as a State, the Am- 1 ericans ought to fight, that their fore athers had fought to give rights and ibeirtles to Americans and not to the mixed races of Louislana, and any I State in the Union had a right to se- I ed.a But in spite of all this opposi- 4 Territory of Orleans became la 1812. o ty of the inhabitants of t were Free and 8panish.

In the year of 1811 the popu- I lation was 60,000, in 1890 it was 1,102,.-t 535, and In 110 it was 1,656,888. 5 Biloxi, the first settlement, was esa t tablishbd in 1169, l southern Misws- a sppl.

The life of any city or of any district of a ioty depends almost entirely upon the number of industries located there, and as we have before been de pendent on practically one institution, that of the Southern Pacific Company, it is up to our citizenship and energy to bring about such conditions as will make us independent of one concern. This can only be done by giving the proper encouragement to others who are willing to invest their capital with us. We have reference, in this respect, to the investments now being made. and that will be made, shortly, in the extensions and improvements of the New Or leans, Southern & Grand Isle Railway, together with the extensions and im lprovements of the Algiers Railway Lighting Company's plant, and of such other companies as are now being organized. all of which are under the control of a Canadian syndicate who certainly believes in the future of Algiers, and if their confidence in us is so extensive that they are willing to invest here. it is up to us to co-operate with them in giving themt such assistance as is consist ent with our policies and growth. At the present time the extension of the Algiers Railway to the Itmmi gration Station is being held up by a threatened suit against the company by Mr. Ieonard. The company was all ready to go to work on this extension, rails and ties were at hand and men were on the ground laying the track. when they were stolpped by a letter fromn an attorn-ey statinlg the objections. Whether or not it is up to the city, or the railway compalny to gain this right of-way. is a matter of somie future action. Some time ago a committee of business nlen along Morgan and Patter son streets called upon Mr. C. F. A. ('arr. the general manager of the new company here and asked that he conplete the route of the ehletric road so as to meet the requiruirements of the franchise. Mr. Carr showed a disposition to c•omply with their request and an ordinance was prepre ed and was presented to the City Council. re-advertising for a franchise covering these extensions. which w ill make a belt of the town. We do not believe our business men will throw any obstacles in the way of this improvement, even thought the route does not suit every one. We have every evidence (unless this evidence has been con cocted for a purpose. and we doubt this very much), that the new electric line nill finally go down the Lower Coast, paralleling the river to the Cut-off road and thence to Belle Chasse, making a large belt of about fifteen miles, and taking in the richest truck section in the State of Louisiana. Already, on the other side of the river, the Frisco Railroad is laying substantial tracks, taking up the old inferior ones that have been in existence for many years, and is preparing for the operation of electric cars on the east bank of the river. The roadbed is already completed. we understand, to a point opposite Potash. La., which is only distant about fifteen miles from Bay Adam, where the finest fish ing in the world may be had. The Frisco is to install on these lines commodi ous electric trains for the benefit of the patrons along the farms on that side of the river. Does it not stand to reason that we, having a greater amount of tillable land on the west side, and of superior quality, that this new company backed by millions, should not allow a competitor to put up a better road paral leling the Mississippi? We may then read between the lines that the Grand Isle will also run electric cars from New Orleans to Buras and perhaps a greater distance, but that the local belt in Algiers, and the belt by Belle Chasse, will be built in a short time is as certain as the company is here. The extension of the electric line to the Immigration Station is one of the requirements of the Government in the building of *he Station. and, of course, the line will reach there by the time the Station is completed, regardless of whatever route is taken. We say again, let us co-operate with the new people and give them all the assist ance we can, not inconsistent with our welfare. WHAT IS A MAN? A Chemical View.-An average man of 150 pounds contains the constitu ants found in 1,200 eggs. There is enough gas in him to fill a gasometer of 1,649 cubic feet. He contains enough iron to make four ten-penny nails. His fat would make 75 candles and a good-sized cake of soap. His phosphate con :ent would make 8,064 'boxes of matches. There is enough hydrogen in him in omnblnation to fill a balloon and carry him above the clouds. The remaining -onstituents of a man would yield, if utilized, six teaspoonfuls of salt, a bowl i sugar, and ten gallons of water. A Physiological and Anatomical View.-A man has 500 muscles,~ o - ion cells, 200 different bones, 4 gallons of blood, several hundred feet of arte ies and veins, over twenty-five feet of intestines and millions of pores. His leart weighs from 8 to 12 ounces, its capacity is from 4 to 6 ounces in each rentricle, and its size is 5 'by 3 ,by 2'i. inches. It is a hollow, muscular organ and pumps 22% pounds of blood every minute. In 24 hours it pumps 16 tons. It beats about 72 times a minute. In one year an average man's heart pumps 11,680,000 pounds of blood. The heart is a willing slave, but sometimes strikes -and it always wins. the Vermilion river. New Iberia, in the beautiful Teche -parish, contains the great salt mines. When Louisiana became a State, the Government at Washington had re served for its personal use large tracts of unoccupied land. As the population increased the State Government wish ed to possess these lands. But their requests were refused by the General Government. They finally, after an agreement, were given part of the do main. The only unsettled regions at present are the swamps, eleven mil lion acres are now regarded as her greatest heritage, they are rich allu vial land susceptiable to reclamation. The first crops in Louisiana were raised by Iberville. He planted large areas in sugar cane. and gave apple, orange and cotton seeds to the Indians to sow. There are now 7,000,000 acres under cultivation. Though Louisiana ranks only eighth in the cotton growing States, it is the most important crop of the State. Lou isiana has grown cane for 125 years, and it now produces nine-tenths of the cane sugar manufactured in the Unit ed States. Third in value is the corn crop. The rapidly growing rice crop ranks fourth in value. When the cul tivation of rice began, it amounted in the year of 1880 to-80,000 barrels. Ex celling all previous productions, it was 2,000,000 barrels in 1900. Large quan tities of Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats, hay, peanuts, millomaize, kaffir corn, cowpeas, sorghum and alfalfa are grown in various parts of the State. An excellent species of tobacco is grown in St. James parish. The red sandy soil between the Ouachita river and the Red river is productive in the growing of fruit. Pecans are grown throughout the State. The Creole or anges are famous for their excellence. The pineapple, guavas, lemons, kum quats tnd figs are grown to a limited extent. The result of truck farming east of the Mississippi are large quan titles of early strawberries and vege tables. In 1831 the legislature passed an act incorporating the Poatchartrain Rail read. This railroad is the oldest in Louisiana. It still exists and connects New Orleans with the small summer resort, Milnebarg. The navigable streams of Louislana are 4,794 miles in length, furnishing cheap transporta Lion. The system is so complete that for many years this was the only meth od of transferee, but as demands for I rapid transportation arose, the rail roads came into use. In 1890 there I were 1,740 miles of ra)way, in 1M06, 1.136 miles, sad In 1906 there were I 6,891 mileas. .daiiaaM trMes wlt al mst ivory part Go ts Uuat fates Its foreign rMe. though larpg, Is actively taerm J Sing, especially since the completion of [the jetties and the projection of the Panama canal. Though Louisiana now [exports immense quantities of cotton. -its first shipment, made in 1784, con Slsisted of 9ax bags (one bale). k Louisiana's educational 9rogress is - remarkable. The first step toward ed ucation was made during Governor I Perrier's term. Six Ursuline nuns i were brought over in 1727 to teach the - daughters of the colonists. When t Louisiana entered the Union it had es tablished some private schools and for ra while most of the schools were con vents. Governor (laiborne establish ed a few public schools in 1805, but be cause of non-support they did not flour ish. The first college in Louisiana was opened that year in New Orleans. In 1835 Governor, Roman established Jefferson College in St. James parish. In 1847 the University of Louisiana was established in New Orleans. The numerous special schools of Louisiana are: State Normal at Natchitoches for the training of teachers; State Uni versity Agricultural and Mechanical College at Baton Rouge; the Industrial Institute at Ruston; institutions for deaf and dumb and for the blind at Baton Rouge; reform school at Mon roe; and the Southern University Agri cultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at New Orleans. In addition are the private and sectarian schools of New Orleans, Tulane University with its law and medical colleges, and Sophie Newcomb Memorial College for women. We stand to-day upon the dividing line between the first and second cen tury of constitutional government. We look proudly upon vast accumulations of the past century, and contemplate with awe and pride the noble sacrifices of our heroes, the genius and patriot ism of our loyal men and women, the resources of the soil, the building of many cities, the tremendous pace of the settlement of lands, the opening of the lines of communication have helped to make us a greater nation.

M., provincial of the Marists In the United States, and of Rev. Leo L. Dubois, S. M., Ph. D., of Atlanta. MUSIC. There is something marvelous in music. I might almost saythat muic is in itself a marve Its position is somewhere between the region of thought and that of phenomena, a himmering medium between mind and matter, related to both and yet diferings from either-spiritual and yet requmang rhythm, material and yet independent of space.-Hei rich Heine. Why Hens Don't Lay In Winter. I have found it very difficult to make people understand that a ben cannot make eggs and feathers at the same time. She can lay while she is shed ding her feathers. because there is then no drain on her system for any other purpose. But when the new coat of feathers is started she quits. simply because she cannot do double duty-make feathers and eggs at the same time. When people learn this fact they will not expect eggs from a ben tpat is growing a coat of feathers. And ~en they may also learn bow to manage their hatching and feeding so as to get eggs in the late fall and win ter, when they want them badly. Farm and Fireside. A Brsn Pie.
