| II is the intention of the new man

Tampa, to give the system an outlet
TO the Gulf of Mexico. A line OF
steamers will also be placed en- the

The road from Kissimmee to Tampa

"You ought to get married, Bill, "

his as the two were leaning over the
front gate of the Spuddles cottage,
talking about old times.
Don't know" said the doubling
William, lit strikes me that a single
life beats your married bliss out of

"There's just where you are off,
old boy" said Spuddles. "You know
I used to be one of the gayest of our
gang, but now, since I've tried mar
ried life a year, I'm twice as happy.
I have . cozy home, a nice little wife,
and one of the sweetest of children,
and when my days work is done I
come home and all is peace and har-
mony. No Bill, the old life has no
charms for me now"
Just then the door opened and Mrs.
Spuddles' head protruded.
"Mr. Spuddles, run right up town

The door closed with a slam, and
the happy wife muttered:

CLOYES.

Few condiments are in more general
repute than clove-spice, the product OF
tree growing in the East Indian Archi-
pelago and denominated caryophyllus
nromaticus by Iinnaus This Glove
tree is indigenous to the Moluccas or
Spice islands, where, rs well as in SUI
matra, Mauritius, Bourbon, Martinique
and st. Vincent's, it is now extensively
cultivated. For considerable time the
Dutch managed to restrict the growth
of this valuable tree TO the Moluccas,
but the selfish policy has completely
failed in its intent. Many parts of the
clove.tree are odorous, but the cloves OF
commerce are the dried fower-buds;
these being found to contain the odor-

between calm reason and being thun-

THE PINE FORESTS OF CALIFORNIA.


The mountains of California are
heavily clothed with pines; two of the
most valuable being the sugar pine and
the heavy-wooded pine. A writer on
the vastness Of the supply Of timber in
the State says: There is probably more
timber, and Of quality not surpassed
in the State, in Fresno county than in
any other in California. The timber
belt extends along the Sierras distance
of fully 200 miles and varies from ten to
forty miles in width. When the TIMBER
in the more accessible sections is ex-
hausted, this valuable belt will be at
tackled, and its almost inexhaustible
supply will give employment to thous-
an6s of persons, and will require millions
of capital to handle it. The first incent-
i've will be the California Central rail-
way. This will tap the same belt now
being worked by the MADEIRA Flume and
Trading Company, but in time other
roads will be built TO tap the pineries on
the south side of the San joaquin and OF
Kings rivers. There are millions OF
dollars in the piney forests OF Fresno
county.
