One marked way in which the modern world differs in appear ance from the ancient world is the absence of walls. Every city in antique days was surrounded by a huge pile of stone wherein were thick gates. No city in modern civilization has a wall which it uses for de fence; some of them have re mains of walls preserved as curi Golsties. The Chinese built a vast wall to defend their whole frontier. . The walls about the city of Rome still stand, but are of no military use. They are preserved merely for their picturesqueness. The castles, towers, and strong holds of a former age in Europe are araotically now in the same category as :grandfather's sword that hangs over the fireplace. In Paris the old wall lines are replaced by boulevards. Foimerly a city of ten thousand as not considered safe without a .protecting wall to keep oqut the ,emisny,; now cities of millions are Sdaoen. Afthe same time armor has disappeared. It can be found ..only in museums and among the relios in family halls. T:: t plain reason seems to be that invention has rendered walls and armor almost useless. No bar rie of stone can be built that cSin noti pulverized by modern guns; no ertma r made that cannot be /pierced by the modern rifle. 'Put yourself, now, in the pldce pof a person living in the age of "< Reihard Coeur de Lion br Cheva Slie Bayard, and suppose you Swere told that the time would a~tne When walls and armor would bIb no more used; would it not elem: i to you unthinkablet You wotgd be prone to say, "If ycu - t k&vay walls from the city, and airmor from the duke, how . can sooiety exist? Would not ie i barbarians speedily invade apd extinguish civilization? SLogically, they would. Really did not. ' o. e the slowest lessons men is that when they cease ti' :i'efend they cease to be attacked. '- When walls were removed in - -vaelions practically ceased. The taking off of armor made the nou :, ble's rie safer. There is uo rei ' son, ,,xcept divine reason, in this. i It is simply a fact. SIn the same way the abolilion O r r.,es and navies by the na lns o the world would just a 9(:'tainly meanrthe cessat ion of the ~J~ar'oe Qf invasion or any otlher #aglqe how many thous it te es satupid world pl& dinmco d sensr The Cattle Tick. The United States government has appropriated an additional sum of $350,000 to be used in the work of eradicating the cattle tick from the tick infested states of the south. The tick eradication work in this stete is in the hands of the "Live Stock Sanitary Board," with Dr. E. P. Flowers as Secre tary and Officer. Three parishes in Louisiana, namely!-Madison: Claiborne and Lincoln, are al ready working to eradicate the tick under the restrictions en forced by the Live Stock Sani tary Board according to the pow ers vested in said Board by law, In addition to the regular work of these three parishes a good deal of work is being done thru out the other parishes of the state of a voluntary nature. This miscellaneou s, or volun tary work, is not only doing the stock good which is being dipped but is enabling the people, tree of cost, so to speak, to prove to themselves that the dipping vat is effective and a good thing for them. The methods that are being adopted in this state, excepting as to the three parishes which are already co operating with the authorities are as follows: The Police Juries appropriate a sufficient amount of money to construct and operate one or more dipping vats in each ward for public use and assist in havy. ing everybody dip their cattle regularly every 21 days during the summer season, being from April 1st to November 1st. Some of the parishes are doing this. They should all do it. When the monies expended by a parish, either by appropriation from the Police Jury, or by pub lic spirited private sources, in constructing and operating dip ping vats, equals the cost of a Federal Veterinary Inspector, which is about $2,500, that par ish is furnished the services, of one of these men by the United States Government, who gives his entire time to the wqrk in that Parish, assisting the local people in building vats prepar ing the solution, and in other words helping out with the work. In this way the parishes in this state will be able to get their share of tihe $350,000 appropria tion made by the United States Government. There are three of these men working in Louisi ana under this plan now and this state has applied for five more' this year. If the people of Washingtoln Parish will demand it our Police Jury would make au apl)lroppria Stionn sualicient to entitle us to e',e' :of tlhese Federal Vet~rinai,'s. ir'e' have already two dipping vats, which are open to the pub lic, one at Franklinton and one at Bogalusa. If Washington Parish could not do this alone we could at least join hands with St. Tamimany or Tangipahoa and have one Inspector attend to both parishes. If the parish would go ahead with this work under this plan and would re quest it, the Live Stock Sanitary.v Ioard would gladly come to our aid and place us in the restricted territory and this would clean the parish of the tick and lead to the removal of the quarentine in so far as we would be concern ed and cattle be shipped from this territory to any beef mar let in the world. The state of Mississippi has asked for the assistance of 50 more of theseFederal Inspectors. She already has several Counties in free erea and 18 more Coun ties are now ready to be put on the free list. It has been pre dicted that the entire state of Mississippi will be tick free with in the next three or four years; the people of Mississippi all seem to be working harmonious ly to get rid of the tick. As little as you may think it. I this is one of the biggest thingsI which is going on in the South to-day, and it is only a question of time when the tick must go and the state or parish which is last to lay hold of the opportunity to do this work will be the place to suffer most because the day will come in the next few years when even New Orleans itself will quarantine against the tick infested territory, in which case the people owning cattle in the tick infested district will -be en tirely cut off from the market. If you have a chance to use a dipping vat do not fail to do it regularly and prevail up m you r neighbors to do the same thing, because we are going to have it to do sooner or later and we might as well get into the habit now.

C., March 15. -The three students of the State University, Ralph Oldham, - Will Meriman and Aubrey Ratch were found guilty this afternoon of manslaughter in connection 3 with the death of a fellow-student Will Rand, while the latter was I being hazed last September. r They were each sentenced to four 1 months in jail. t In charging the jury Judge - Peebles called attentention to v the fact that whether young r Rand fell off the barrel during L the hazing, or the barrel was a kicked over was not a matter for 1 consideration. "If the three e men under indictment, masked, - and with sticks in hand, as pro a duced in the State's testimony, entered the room of Rand, and laid hands on him and against s his will and carried him to the p athtetic field, then it is the duty ;. of the jury to find a verdict of s guilty," said the court i. The fact that hazing has been n practiced at the university for a h- hundred years and that tnis is Sthe first case to be trie- in court, Sit was pointed out, did not abro g; ate or change the laws of the 1 State and should not affect the - jurors in reaching their verdict.
