Messrs. G. A. Dreka & Co. have gone
to great expense in grading their lot en-
the corner of New York avenue and the
Boulevard, preparatory to erecting their
handsome store which will be two
stories 46x7O with the frontage on New
York avenue. It will have large double
bulk windows on New York avenue and
a fine show window on the Boulevard.
Messrs. Dreka & Co. are real live mer-
chants and we are convinced that their
store will be one of the finest in South
Florida, and stocked with magnificent
supply of goods. The store will he
completed within sixty days and thew
hope to have THEN stock in by the LIST Of
October at the latest, as their fast grow
ing trade makes it impossible for them
to keep on longer in the present build
ing. The firm have always manifested
a spirit of improvement and keeping up
with the times, and with as shrewd and
courteous a business man as Mr.. Geo,
Dreka at their head, they cannot fail to
do a driving business. They have an
able assistant in Mr.. John Crainor the
head clerk.

short OF feed during winter, as well
as to improve the fertility of the soil,
every farmer should sow rye IN his
CORE after he has plowed it the last
time. BY SO doing fine winter
pasture is ensured, and in the spring,
by turning the rye under, it will
serve at valuable fertilizer. This
also will allow the use Of the ground
the entire year. BY following this
plan few seasons the soil will be
found TO be very rich.

The shields of the fruit, so to call
them, as they tall to the ground
having rich, glossy, russell color
which an artist could hardly produce,

coating, as if the breath of sweetness
chilled them. This may be wiped
of, and the rich brown appears in its
perfection. AS the shields retain

Besides the luxury of fruit so

One day, ~ he was sitting alone,

Mr.. Choate unexpectedly took q seat by
bis side, called him by name, talked with
him about his native State and its great
men. about the college where he had
studied and its fine discipline, and con-
Eratulated him on his prospect of certain
success at the bar if he would be patient
in waiting and labor industriously.
The youns man was magnetized by
the eloquence and sympathy Of the great
advocate, and loved and reyered him to
the end of his brilliant career.
He subsequently learned that this waf

The weapons used for underwater
warfare are called "t0rpedoes.
There are two kinds of torpedoes:
those that are anchored in one place
aud those that swim about in the water.
OF those that are anchored, there are
also two kinds. One kind consists u
great iron boxes filed with dynamite
and sunk in the water at particular
places. They rest in the mud, or on
the sand and stones, till they are ready
to be fired. when they blow up or ex-
plode with terrible effect; and Il ship
happens to be passing over one of them.
she Is sure to be torn to pieces. The
Others kind have float anchored just
out of sight under water, while the tor
pedo rests on the bottom. These. too.
when they explode, destroy anything
that happens to bc near.
There are two ways OF firing these
ground torpedoes: In one there is q
wire. carefully protected from the
water. leading from the torpedo to the
shore. The soldiers in charge OF il can
send electricity through this wire and
set fire to the dynamite, and thus fire
the torpedo The torpedo il lost and
destroyed. but the broken wire can be
pulled ashore. and used again ON
another torpedo. The second method
is to fasten to the torpedo . wooden
float. If one OF the enemy's ships
passes over such q torpedo and happens
TO strike and push aside the float that is
anchored just over it, this will also tre
the torpedo, for the chain or rope that
anchors the float is contested with the
torpedo. and any strain or pull on tho
rorc discharges it. In this way the ship
itself may fire the torpedo. and thus boz
come an agent in its own destruction.
The swimming torpedoes are Of two
kinds. One of these swims like fish,
and. If it strikes its nose against ship,
explodes, and sinks the vessel by lear
ing a terrible hole in the bottom.
Another kind can also swim. but it car
ries fastened to its tail long wire,
which it drags through the water
wherever it goes BY means of this
wire, the soldier who stands at the end.
ON the shore. or the sailor on board
ship, can make the fish turn to the
right or left. dive, turn around, go
backward, or come home again when
it is wanted. Besides this. the fish will
blow up il it strikes against the ens-
my's ship. or whenever the man at the
wire wishes to fire it. The Govern
ment will not tell us how such Won
derful thing can be done. but you may
be sure that these fish-torpedoes are
strange fellows. They seem to be able
to do everything that a fish can do. and
more. for when they get angry they can
burst out into a frghtful passion and
send the water flying into the air for
hundreds Of feet. and woe to the sailors
who are near! Torpedo. ship and men
go the bottom in a volcano Of fro and
water. Besides these anchored and
swimming torpedoes, there is another
kind called spar-torpedoes, SO named
because they are placed on the ends of
spars or booms that run out under wa
ter from the bows Of small boats, The
boats rush up to the side Of the big
ship. in the dark. and explode the tor
pedo underneath. thus sinking the YES

MIDNIGHT.


Far heard, and family, over wood and hill.
Twelve slow vibrations from the village
Rune the gracious calm Oh, rare the skin
That Saye SO sweet voice to iron Time'
They are no more than winged souls Of
Lured forth by night from hedxy eoverts deep,
Where drowsily they summed the glaring
The moon is up Now this were time to SEQ
AL delicate, shy things thar haunt the wood:
1he miid-eyed fauns' the nymphs OF stream
King Oberoa and all his fairy brood
Small visages should peer upon the moon,
To note II it be yet the charmed hour
To trace the ring and chant the magic rune.
What low, delicious sound was that far born
From the obscure recesses of the glen?
Was it the fanfare of an elm horn.
Or restless bird that triiied and slept againf
is that the brooks bland gurgle in the sedg .
Or hax-wreathed naiads BY the osiered
psbblinF their white limbs from the oozy
Or diving where the minnows dart and
gleams
There is rustic in the thicket screenl
ls 1t frightened hare that starts and hies,
Or stealthy footed faun that peers between
The interviewer vines with shy surinise?
Iwere hardly surprise IL from the shades
Pan came, and, marshalng his merry crew,
Piped to their dancing in the moon-lit glades,
Timing with horny hoof and wild halloo.

To call the forest hannters from their lair.
And charm the c{0u cOmDluies a:Vhfl

Ihroned on the turf amongst bis bearded
broods
Piping in undertones we may not hear.

The nniads cover near the re del rill;
