ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL,
{Zlatorle Ground on Which the Tout
Men of Lonl»lana Receive
Their Training.
The Louisiana state university and
agricultural and mechanical college is
known as the military college of the
south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is lo
cated at Baton Rouge, and numbers
among its graduates many men who are
now officers in the regular army. Gen.
W. T. Sherman was the first president
of the institution before the civil war,
and, notwitstanding his espousal of the
northern cause, his memory is still rev
ered at this scene of his former labors,
and his life-size portrait in oils occupiei
a prominent place in the handsome as
sembly hall of the college.
The site of the university is historic
ground. It was for many years a mil
itary post, and the garrisons of France,
England, Spain and the United States
have all at different periods occupied <
After it was abandoned for military {
nore'wes It was turned over to the state j
, i islana for purposes of education
' .Original buildings, however, still
hirtylt and, with the flag floating over
theila, present a striking and beautiful
appearance.
Here, in 1779, Galves, the Spanish gov
ernor general of Louisiana, after an en
gagement that lasted for three days, cap
tured the British garrison. The Span
iards were in turn driven out by a party
of Americans, and this marked the
passing of west Florida from the do
main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder
ates captured the post, and the next year
a desperate battle, involving both land
and sea forces, was fought near by,
and the confederate ram Arkansas was
blown up in the view of the land bat
teries.
Many distinguished officers served
here while it was still a military post.
Among those whose names are associ
ated with the place are Wilkinson and
the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott
and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and
Etonewan jacason, Mcuienan ana joe
Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet,
Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For
rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and
Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral
Porter and "Bishop” Gen. Polk. Among
the great civilians we recall the names
of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun
and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly
a place elsewhere in the south so rich
in historic associations.
The university is true to its traditions.
The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in
heritance, and while they revere the
cause for which their fathers fought, no
northern boys are to-day more loyal to
the flag which is lowered at sunset every
evening to the well-known strains of
retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca
dets stands on parade at attention.
Everything about the university is con
ducted on military lines, and by means
of frequent inspections a proper system
of discipline is constantly maintained.
CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
Tkt Scribbling Microbe Never Leaver
One After It Gain* a
Lodging.
“The habit of writing is a curious
habit and one which may not be out
grown,” said an old scribbler, in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It
seems to be born in the blood. It is a
part of the nature of some men to write
things. Early in life they begin to yield
to an inclination to jot things down; to
scribble off a few thoughts at idle mo
ments, and between times, as it were;
to versify a bit; to philosophize; to put
down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl
a thousand and one little nothings
which appeal to the fancy from time to
time. Once acquire the habit and it is
thine for aye. No amount of change in
life’s course; no upheavals of fortune,
no BUdden shifts of fate and destiny; no
nothing that may come with the fleet
ing years will ever once break the mind
from the bent which prompts it to trace
In thn minor (Mirline nvmhols arhtr.h roll
out from the pencil's point the little
playful nothings about which the soul
la wont to dream.
“Dainty, delicate children are these
little vagrants which one idly scrawls
into existence between times. Often
they are bright, deep, subtle and of the
verities; sometimes tpey are morose,
gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds
the soul of the hungry pessimists; some
times as light and airy as the very foam
j which bursts laughingly around the
| ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light
or profound, whether gay or sad, these
j things of mental loafing, these little
j pet nothings of mental vagabondage,
I are scintillants which cheer and amusa
a fellow as he hurries on from one mile
post to another. Ah, for the habit of
writing! It pays when the bank fails
_pays in the sweet consolation one may
know from close communion with one’s
own soul, for man hath not known his
soul until it glare at him in such cheap
symbols as he may employ in efforts,
always short of weight, to speak its
; weighty sentiments.”

THE COAL WE USE.
Am Article af Which the Ge»«»U«1
•f Americas ■••■cwivca
Kaaw Bat Little.
Coal Is so common a necessity that ws
do not taka the trouble to know any
thing about It. The other day, says a
New York Press writer, I asked a house- |
holder who ourns 25 tons a season: I
“Which do you prefer, red ash or white
ash?" After a little hesitation he re
plied: “I really don’t know what you
mean. I didn’t know that coal is made
from ash, and I don’t think I ever heard
af a red ash." “Oh, that has nothing to
do with It. Of eourBO coal is a vegetable
product but the red ash or white ash re
ferred to Is not a tree, hut the refuse of
burnt coal—the ashes. Some of these
ashes are red; some are white. T He was
much surprised, and promised to find out
from his dealer whether he had always
used red or white.
A second householder, being asked tho
same question, replied: "I always use
the white ash coal, for the reason that
It Is so much cleaner, both before and
after using. It makes a hotter fire, and
never burns out the grate-bars. It lasts
longer than the red ash and is cheaper
In the long run. You couldn't hire ms
to use red ash coal. I don’t like tho
stuff."
A merchant who ought to know what
he is talking about said: “Buy red ash
coal ever time. It makes things very
comfortable about the house. You can
start a fire with it in half the time you
can with white ash; the fire Is twice as
hot; there is less dust; there are fever
ashes. Stoves using red ash seldom burn
out, and they give out more heat than
when using white ash. Of course, the
red ash costs more than the white, but
Is cheaper in the end.”
A coal agent booking orders was told
by a new resident: “I shall want six.
tons of coal for the winter. I insist on
having white ash coal. Can you supply
It at once before the price goes up?"
“To-morrow early enongh?" “Y’es."
“All right; it will be there.” It came
and was dumped into the cellar. At the
flrct nloanlmr mit nf thp fl.fih nit UDd€f
the furnace our friend found only red
ftshes. He was wroth. The coal man
happened to drop In. “Coal all rigdit?”
"All right? You know it isn’t all right,
sir! You have cheated me. I insisted on
having white ash coal, and you have
sent red ash. What are you goieg to do
about it?’’ “I’m awfully sorry. I cer
tainly put In the order for white ash.
But you’ve got the be6t of the bargain,
sir. We’ve billed this coal to you at the
price of white ash; and you know it Is
worth a dollar a ton more. Still. I al
ways believe in giving a gentleman what
he orders, and we’ll take this coal back
if you say so.”
“If I wanted to be mean I’d make you
take back every bushel of it, and then
I’d buy my white ash alsewhere. Didn’t
you know It was red ash ?” “Lord bless
you. no. No man living can tell the dif
ference between the two kinds until he
sees the ashes. I’ve been in the business
80 years, and I can’t tell. But I do know
one thing—red ash coal is as far ahead
of white ash coal as sunshine is ahead
of moonshine.’’ “Well, I’ll overlook It
this time; but hereafter I get what I or
der, or there’ll be trouble. I’ve a legal
fight to make you take this coal back.”
"You have only to give the order, and
I’ll obey.”|‘Tll see how it turns out/'
That night the merchant called, and the
transaction was mentioned. “Lucky dog,”
he said. “Red ash every time! And you
get it as cheap as dirt.” So the matter
was dropped.
The anthracite trade began with as
output of 1,965 tons in 12 months. It has
grown to 70,000,000 tons annually. In
1803 tho city of Philadelphia bought
100 tons of anthracite for use in the
pumping works, but the engineers, not
knowing how to burn it, broke it up to
gravel the walk in the yards. In 1814
two ark loads were sold at the falls of the
Schuylkill for $21 a ton. A morning
was wasted in futile attempts to burn
this coal, and at noon the employer and
his workmen, discouraged at their Ill
luck. shut up the furnace and went to
dinner. On their return they were aston
ished to find a roaring Are, the furnace
doors red hot and the furnace itself in
danger of melting. From that day dates
the successful use of anthracite in Amer
ica.
Personally, I have yet to learn the dif
ference between red ash and white ash
coal as regards merit. But I never had
the happy experience of the furnacemen
above. Here is my luck; First, & few
newspapers crumpled up and lighted;
secondly, a bushel of kindling wood;
thirdly, a shovelful of coal; fourthly, a
wait for half an hour for the ooai to
start; fifthly, more cos/; sixthly, my
morning ablutions In blissful conscious
ness of duty well done; seventhly, a re
turn to the cellar to find—a roaring
chilliness, the furnace doors frigid to
the hinges and the furnace Itself In dan
ger of collapsing In liquefied air. I thea
i drop a small word or two In the cold
quiet of my subterraneanism and calmly
proceed to shake out that "roaring fire1*
(expected) Into the bottomless ash pit.

my hair, all over my shoes, up my

enough by that time to look at a fire
and make It burn.

TAX THE “DRUMMER” PAYS
A Considerable Item in Commercial
Traveler’s Expense Account In
Most European Countries.
Three or four drummers, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warm
discussion over the bane of the
drummer’s existence on the road,
the “drummer’s tax”—not so bad
as it used to be, however, when
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“By Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it over on the other side.
What they do here isn’t to be
spoken of in comparison. Here
it is merely a small local matter.
Over there it is national. At least
it is for any of us who come from
foreign countries. In Denmark,
for Instance, there is an annual
tax of $42.88 if a man represents
one house and half that for each
other house represented. In Nor
way you have to have a trade pass
good for 30 days, costing $26.80.
France is easier and you don’t
have anything hut a business
passport, which costs no more
than you want to pay. In Hol
land you have to have an indus
trial tax receipt, which costs six
dollars. In Sweden' the price is
the same as in Norway, $26.80,
and if you try to get out of it you
will catch a fine of from the price
of the trade pass up to $184, and
they are strict about it, too.
“In Austria you have only to
show a proper trade license and
in Switzerland a business pass
port. They don’t cost any more
than you want to give up to the
chaps who let you have them. In
Russia the price is $25.75 as trade
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal
tax. And if you are a Jew you
don’t want to go to Russia to sell
goods. You may be all right, but
Russia doesn’t like that kind and
shows it by pushing the ‘drummer
tax’ on Jews up to $275.50, be
sides the communal tax of $5.15.
England’s the place, though,
where you want to go. That’s the
great free trade land and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and
seli to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are so
free over there that, by Jove, you
almost feel like asking the coun
try to pay you a few hundred a
year just because you are there.”

English Royal Commission Reports
That Danger of Typhoid Infec
tion Has Been Exaggerated.
The English coyal commission
•n sewage disposal has issued a
report that should tied to allay
the frequent “oyster scares”
caused by the assertion that shell
fish are polluted and made unfit
to eat by typhoid germs. They are
of the opinion that there is not at
present exact knowledge warrant
Ing such sweeping measures as
the compulsory purification of
sewage before discharge, for there
is nothing, they state, in the ap
pearance of shellfish to distin
guish those which have been ex
posed to sewage contamination
from those which have not been so
exnosed.
The denial of the validity ol
bacteriological examination as a
test is very important, for this
test has rested on the assumption
that the bacillus coll communis, or
other allied organism, does not
normally occur In the oyster. Over
1,000 oysters taken from the pui.
est waters and from beds obviously
liable to pollution were examined
and the bacillus coll was found it
nearly all of them, from whatever
laying they were taken, though ai
a rule a very much smaller num
ber of bacilli was found in those
from puyd than in those from
polluted waters. The commis
gioners gay:
"If it should be seriously con
tended that the mere presence 01
bacillus coll, or colilike microbes
in an oyster should condemn it
few oysters would probably es
cape condemnation.”
Concerning the possibilities oi
the communication of disease bj
shellfish, they state that there ig r
prlma facia probability that ai
times living typhoid bacilli mighi
be conveyed by shellfish to the con
gumer and produce enteric fever
experience confirms their viewi
that the extent to which the ill
ness is actually conveyed canno
be determined, the present stab
knowledge on the suhject no
| making it possible to make an ac
1 curate numerical statement.
