The FLORIDA Everxlaaes.

When the general government sought
to reInoye the Indians to their reserva.
tions, many different tribes fled into
the everglades, and it is estimated that
100 or $40 are now living there. Only
80 appear on the rolls OF the census, be-
cause no census officer has been able to
penetrate the wilderness. The 81 In
dams who appear upon the census rolls
are those who come out to trade; but it
is known that the large majority are
averse to trading or mingling with the
whites. Indian hunters come out with
bear, deer and panther skins, showing
that the everglades must contain good
hunting grounds. A number of ne
groes, say thirty or forty, are known to
be held by the Indians. They speak
Indian women, and are made to do
women's work. These negroes are evil

the Indian country with great speed.

servants, and brought him into Fort

Whereupon Tiger Tail grasped the dar-
key by the nape of the neck, pushed
him into the canoe and padded back to
the everglades. . The Seminoles are
quite jealous of any interference with
their domain and will not serve as
guides through theiI country. So
strictly is this rule maintained that an
Indian boy who has been raised by a
New Orleans gentleman, under an
agreement with the Indians that he
may stay six months of each year with
him and six months with his people,
could not be prevailed upon under any
consideration to guide white men into
the country.

THE SWALLOWS NEST.

When you enter the temple door
To seek celestial rest,
Under the old gray arch
Look up at the simple nest.
Where the new-come swallows add
To the grand old house Of prayer
A building of their own;
With more of heaven there,
The brood lie hid in the moss,
Where the gate-way-arch befriends,
AT rest in the pleasant shade
The wing of a Jesus lends.
Where the shadows flicker within,
AS If to their twittered trill,
The swallows are CLEANS of joy,
The pillars darkly still.
Even the stolid saints,
BY the g~ateway's constant swing,
Rejoice TO find so near
The hopes and the kiss of spring.
Virgins and holy men
Peer down from the towers above
On the hives the birds have built
For the honey of heaven-love.
An apostle greets with a smile,
From the shade of an archway quaint
A bird on an angel lit,
And the bird salutes the saint.
The great cathedral's spires
Far up to heaven shine,
But the nest of the little swalltw
Is a building more divine

New York Bay.


Now. within the last thirty or forty
years, the beauty OF the shores OF New
YorK bay has been utterly ana hope
lessiy destroyed. Never grand or OF a
highly distinguished character, 1t yet
had the charm of q pleasing vsriety OF
nature modified by human presence. 1t

otonous, and, moreover, thoroughly
aud basely yulgar-vulgar beyond the

cause ITS very vnlgarIty is without any
individual character, and Is simply tame
and commonplace. This change has
been wrought by what is called the
prosperity OF New York-prosperlty
meaning increase in wealth and size.
Before this happened, the traveller
who sailed up through the Narrows saw
OF his right the green shores OF Long
Island almost IN natures beauty deco
rate, with here and there a farm house
or a villa; pa his left the hills of Staten
Island, in like verdure, rose from a
natural shore-hne, broken only by the
village OF Castleton, with the buildings
of the quarantine. On either side tine
peaceful tone Was relieved by the en-
phatic note OF the two forts that quad
ed the harbor: Before hlm Us he adj
vanced the bay stretched out, opening
like the mouth of q trumpet from the
narrow straight through which he was
passing. As his eyes pierced the DIS
tauce he saw the verdure OF the shores
coming down to the waters edge, except
where it was broken by II house or a
rare clump OF houses here and there.

Our readers may imagine this is all a
joke, but we are IN earnest, we assure
you, as we are assured by a gentleman
i'll the ''oleo" trade that ice cream is
now actually made of ''oleo." What
~desecrationl What destruction of all
young mans first dream of love. No
more can he make his Dulcinea happy
and at the anne time get a square meal
for himself for twenty-five cents. Those
iialcyon days are past. The rude hand
OF science is destroying the great
American elixir of this lite, ice cream,
with all the fond hopes and the fresh
ness of life which hover like sainted
memories about its sacred name, as it
is undermining the solace of the future
life-theology. Thus disappear cur old
landmarks of love and religion, one
after the other, in such rapid succession,
that before long science will deprive
US of all knowledge OF what we eat to
support the life of the body, as it seeks
to deprive us of all ''the knowledge" of
what will perpetuate the life of the soul,
while the poor young lovers are sus-
pended between heaven and earth-aS
Pope would say-too ethereal for the
one, too hungry for the other, and no
halfway ''ice cream saloon where they
a quench their physical and spiritual
thirst and hunger, and look deep into
each others liquid eyes until they
should see their love reflected in those
mirrors of the soul. Give us Tantalus'
face rather than theirs. Without ice
cream life would be a burden to a large
class of our population, and suicides
will rapidly Increase. Either this must
be, and ice cream prohibited by law,
or hereafter we must take u chances
OF getting u soap, candles and ice
cream served up at the same time and
in the same dish, unless we abolish the
saloon, buy a freezer, take our girls
down In the cellar, while two souls shall
beat as n make our own ice cream.

Fugitive Females.

Notice of the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of females from their
homes have been so frequent of late as
to suggest IN epidemic of Tightly ten
denotes. The disappearance of wives is
not rare, but there is the almost invari-
able man in the case. So much cannot
be said of the disappearance of young
girls who apparently have not arrived
at years of discretion. A flight OF this
kind lately set st. Louis society agog.
A young woman rebe' led against piano
practice and was missed from her ac-
customed place. After a long search
this fugitive was discovered in an insti-
tuition officiating as a laundress, clear
starcher and ironer. Very recently two
cases of mysterious disappearance have
been announced nearer home. In non
of these cases has it been admitted
that the fugitives had made a sign in
dicative of a purpose to absent them
selves from home and friends. But
such departures from the even tenor of
the ordinary female way cannot, we
suspect, be utterly unaccountable to
the persons with whom they live.
Neither men nor women break off
suddenly from their usual courses in
life. To the close observer such escap-
AIDES are in some sort advertised before
hand, and in the case of young women
it is doubtful if a sudden departure
cannot always be ~predicated of her acts
long beforehand. The truth is that
parents and guardians are in the habit
of ignoring MANY indications of unrest
exhibited by their children and wards,
assigning them to eccentricity, when in
fact they betaken a morbid condition.
1t is generally safer to fall in with the
temper of such persons, and if possible
afford them frequent changes of scene.
But beyond all, employment is the best
defence.

A Buoking Bronoho.

Much has been said and written about
the ouckmg broncho, but the half has
not been told. The bucking broncho
is a plant which grows wild on the
Laramie plains, and blossoms at any
and all times of the year. The mar
who never saw one of these Kaleidosco-
pic panoramas has our sy mpaty; and the
tenderfoot who thought he knew all
about horses, and who played second
fiddle to a good, healthy broncho
through one sw~enty-eight second round
also has our sympathy. He needs the
sympathy of the entire community for
that matter, not only the services of a
good surgeon. THE ''old-timern mounts
the colicky animal as though it was a
stone fence, and calmly and ~contentedly
maintains his seat while the miniature
earthquake is erupting beneath him.
1t looks easy, and you can't help think
ing that it is easy. 1t is a mistake,
however, to suppose that the uninitiated
man can ride the bounding broncho the
first time he tries it, no matter how
good a horseman he may be. 1t can
only be acquired, like back teeth, in
time.

To the angler the codh sh Is one OF the
most uninteresting of the inhabitants Of
the sea frequenting our coast. 1t usually
makes is appearance off The New Jersey
coast about the first OF November and re
mains there until April. For want OF
better sport during the cold months, an
xler's sometimes visit Atlantic City for the
purpose OF taking tins fish on the rod.
There Is no d hculty, however, in bringing

1904 Normandy sent several vessels snnu-
ally 10 the coast of New FDuEdland after
at. Thirteen years later England forwar-
ded her first vessel to that coast, which
returned heavily laden with salted cod,
which were sold al very remuneratlve
prices. On esch succeeding year there was
an increase IN the number OF vessels from
the mother country until at the lapse OF q
century, 1915 she had as many as 25O
engaged in the coddshery of Newfcund-
land.
In his earliest letters from this country,
Penn expressed the hope ~at cod would
be found In the Delaware bay. / believe
there are no recorded catches OF that fish
there, although it is taken every wiLter a
few miles beyond the capes OF the Della
ware. On the New England coast it Is
captured at all seasons. A Phiiadelphisn
visiting the Isle of Shoals told me the
other day that he has taken them there

that the early colonlsts IN New England
would have persisted If this fish could not
have been captured by them in Massachu-
sets bay and they subsequently struggled
into life and power BY curing and selling
it From 30 small a beginning grew the
great and everlasting industry. As long
ago as 1878 Massachusetts employed in il
vessels Of al aggregate capacity of 3S, O00
tons; her fishing crews numbered 1000
men, and the product OF the fishery al
that comparatively early day reached an
annual value of 81. 900, 900. So much for

1t is well known that the green tea
affect the nerveS much more than the
black tea, which is believed to arise
from the different modes of preparation.
For making green tea the leaves are put
over the fire and partially dried directly
after they are picked, but with black
tea the leaves are put into a basket and
then exposed to the influence Of the
atmosphere for twenty or thirty hours,
during which time a slight fermentation
takes place, and the color of the leaf
changes from green to a brown or
chocolate hue this is easily seen by tho
infusion OF the drief leaf of black and
green tea; the leaf after infusion will
show the different colors named); they
are then put over the fire and finished.
In this country about 245, DOC, 900
pounds are delivered yearly, of which
about 100000 900 are exported, but the
proportions are about 207, 100000 of
black and 10000 900 of green, Oolong
and Japan. While in America the
black tea imported is about $3.50, 900,
the green tea Gncluding Oolong and
uncolored Japan tea, which possess nearly
the same properties as green) amount
to 58, 1000, 900. Would not this excess
i've use of green account for the opinion
of the American doctors as to the effect
of tea on the nervous systemp l doubt
very much if a pound of black tea,
boiled down in the same way as the
young hyson mentioned, would poison
either rabbits or cats with the same
dose. There is no doubt the fermenta-
ton of the leaves of black tea produces
the amount of the active principal
"theine" that you find in green.
Another thing, in preparing tea for
the table, boiling water is put on the
leaf and an infusion made which Is at
once partaken of. But who ever would
think of boiling tea to drinkp BY SO
doing you extract from the stalk and
woody fibre of the leaf an acrid de-
coction that no one would find pleasure
in taking, and from which the woody
part would be most likely extracted the
poisonous qualities mentioned. In tea
drinking European counties, as Ger
many, Russia, &c, scarcely any green
is used, and doubtless the great increase
in the consumption In this country
arises from the almost universal use of
black tea, green being only used in
mixing with it to impart a flavor, and
while of late years the consumption of
black tea has largely increased, that of
green has remained stationary, which
clearly shows the taste in this country
is entirely different from that of
America. May we long continue in this
country to enjoy 1.-THE cup which cheers
