The Silver Spring of Florida.

The second morning after leaving Pilatka
we reached the famous Silver Spring, the
greatest curiosity of the State, and about
which so much has been written. 1t is sup
posed by many to be the same spring, the
Fountain of Youth /" that Ponce de Leon
came in search of. 1t bursts forth in the
midst of the most fertile county in the State,
bubbles up in basin nearly 100 feet deep
and about 300 yards wide, sends forth a
stream from go to 100 feet wide, and extend
ing six or eight miles to the Ocawaha River.
In the spring itself fifty boats may lie at
anchor. The clearness of the water is truly
wonderful. The smallest object can be dis
tinctly seen at the bottom, 80 feet below.
Large fish swim with every scale visible and
every movement distinctly seen. From the
centre, in small boat, you can see the fs-
sures in the rocks, from which the river
pours upward, like an inverted cataract.
1t is not surprising that this spring should
have been regarded by the early Spanish
discoveries as that of perpetual youth, or
that many Indian legends should be asso-
ciated with it.-Hearth and Home.

Olive Culture in Georgia.

Mr.. P. NJ. Nightingale, of Brunswick,
Georgia, writes us his observations and ex
perience in the culture of the olive, and the
manufacture of olive oil, as follows:
l have successfully cultivated the olive on
Cumberland Island, my former place of resi-
dence, and before the war | made very
superior quality of sweet oil, pronounced by
very good judges to be quite equal, if not
superior, to the best that has been imported.
The olive grows with little care and great
rapidty on Cumberland Island, and it is the
impression of all who have seen the grove
on that island, that the trees compare very
favorably in point of size with those in
Europe. They bear nearly every year, and
produce two to three bushels of fruit to the
tree. Each bushel of olives will yield one
to two gallons of oil. / also succeeded in
picking the olives, but not to my entire
satisfaction. This process is more difficult.
and requires mere care and judgment than
extracting al ing the oil. The fruit
must be in Exactly the right state for pick
ling. If that stage is passed, the pickles,
though very nice at first, will not keep. If,
on the contrary, the fruit is gathered for
this process before it is sufficiently matured,
it becomes hard and tasteless. The olive
tree is easily propagated from cutting, layers
or shoots, or by migrating into the root. 1t
begins to bear in about six years, but does
not produce abundantly until it is ten or
twelve years old. When matured it is larger
than the largest apple tree. The Oldest
trees on Cumberland Island were planted by
Mrs. Greene, the widow of General Nathan
iel Greene, in 1893, and they are still fine
vigorous trees, and may be century longer.
They are not subject to the devastations of
the insect which has seriously injured the
orange trees in Southern Georgia and in
Florida for thirty years past Mrs. Greene
commenced the cultivation of the olive on
Cumberland Island at the special recommen
dation of Mr. Jefferson.

The NosE.-The nose acts like custom
house officer to the system. 1t is highly
sensitive to the odor of the most poisonous
substances. 1t readily detects hemlock,
henbane, monk 's.hood, and plants containing
prussic acid; it recognizes the fetid smell of
drains, and warns US not to smell the pol
luted air. The nose is so sensitive that it
distinguishes air containing the 2OO,OOOth
part Of grain of the otto of rose, or the 49,
OO,OOOth part of grain of musk. 1t tells
us in the morning that our bedrooms are
impure, and catches the fragrance of the
morning air, and conveys to US the invitation
of the flowers to go forth into the fields and
inhale their sweet breath, To be led by the
nose has hitherto been used as phrase of
reproach; but to have good nose, and to
follow its guidance, is one of the safest and
shortest ways to the enjoyment of health.

Gerhardt now offered the contents of his
scrip to the hungry man, who, coarse as it
was, ate it gladly, Presently his attendants

found that che hunter was the Grand Duke,
who owned all the country round. The
Duke was so pleased with the boys honesty,
that he sent for him shortly after, and had
him educated Young Pilgrim.

JoHNsoN's MANNER OF CoMposING.-
This has not been rightly understood. He
was so extremely short-sighted from the de-
feet in his eyes, that writing was inconve-
nient to him; for, WI wrote, he was
obliged to no ese to his face;
He, therefor, what we call
foul draft o. PAP ythipg he pub
lished, but used to revoive the subject in his
mind, and turn and form every period, till
he had brought the whole to the highest COR
rectness and the most perfect arrangement.
Then his uncommonly retentive memory
enabled him to deliver whole essay, proper
ly finished, whenever it was called for. l
have often heard him humming and forming
periods in low whispers to himself, when
shallow observers thought he was muttering
prayer, etc.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WoRDs.-An ed
ucated Englishman, who has been at a pub
lie school and at the University, who reads
his Bible, his Shakespeare, and the Times,
seldom uses more than 5000 or 1000 words
in actual conversation. Close reasoners and
thinkers, who avoid general expressions and
wait for the word that exactly fits their
meaning, employ larger stock, and eloquent
speakers may rise to the command of 49,
900. Shakespeare produced all his plays
with $4,000 words, Millions works are built
up with 5000, and the Old Testament says
all that it has to say with 5,642 words.

The ORIGIN of oil weights and measures
in England was derived from a grain of
wheat. According to the old statute, thirty
TWO grains, well dried, and gathered from the
middle of the ear, were to make one penny
weight, twenty pennyweights one ounce. 1t
was afterward thought better to divide the
pennyweight into twenty-four equal parts,
called grains. William the Conqueror in
PRODUCED into England what was called Troy
Weight, from Treyes, town in the province
IF Champagne, in France. The English
were dissatisfied with the weight, because
the pound did not weigh so much as the
pound in use at that time in England. Hence
arose the term Avoir du pOids, which was a
medium between the French and ancient
English weights.

WOMEN AS LEGISLATORS.

The advocates of the right of wo-
men to seats in Congress have brought
into the newspapers the precedent
of seating women in the British par
lament from the days of the Wite-
nagemote down to Edward III. But
then it was their titles alone, noble
or ecclesiastical, that rendered this
privilege possible. Do our aspiring
dears mean to get into Congress on
the same theory? The abbess of
this. the countess of that, and the
duchess of the other are the only
Legislature, and that mostly by
beings that ever sat in the British
proxy. Someof the facts are highly
interesting. 1t seems the Witenage-
mote. which was the Saxon rudi-
mcnt Of the parliament, was pretty
fairly divided between the sexes, as
all the ''ladies of birth and quality
sat in council. The venerable Bede
says ''the Abbess Hilda presided in
an ecclesiastical synod" In A. ID.
694 the abbessess deliberated at the
great council Of Weighted, and
among the signatures of King,
bishops and mobiles are those of five
women to DEGREES. The abbessess
joined with King Edgar and the no
bles in signing the charter to the
/ Abbey OF Crowland. During the
reign of Henry Ill and Edward |,
1 four abbessess were summoned TO
Parliament it does not appear
| whether or not in person. Under
Edward III ten la1 ostly of the
nobility. were reguh summoned
to Parliament by writ, but by their
proxies. This was not deemed q
hardship, but it was regarded as a
privilege, due to all peers, but not
usually availed of by them. If any
Of our girls get elected, we doub
not she will 60 in person.
