the story itself has every appearance
of being genuine relation of expert

sleep and on duty Tor many hours, and
at last fell asleep on his post Then he
dreamed quite an elaborate story of an
accident resulting from 4 confusion Of
train orders; how he studied over the
words Of the dispatch. trying to make
out their meaning. and then how, his
train coming into collision with
another. he was thrown into the air
and dropped back into his seat in the
cab with his hand on the throttle. At
that instant CONSCIOUSNESS returned,
and he found that ii was all a dream,

Florida's New Product.


The sea coast of Southern Florida is
to be brought into competition with
Ceylon. the Malabar and Coromandel
coasts of India. the tropical islands Of
the Pacific, the West Indies and South
America, where immense groves of CO..
coanut trees may be seen. An enter
prising capitalist of New Jersey, who
sees millions in the project. has started
sn extensive plantation of cocoanut-trees
in Dade County, along the coast of
Southern Florida The seed cocoanuts
were brought from South America and
given careful attention in nursery,
where tie nuts were placed in squares
containing about 400 each. These were
covered an inch deep with sand and sea-
weed, or soft mud from the beach. aud
watered daily till they terminated.
One hundred thousand plants have been
set out on tract OF about 1000 acres,
at cost of nearly $40, 900. and next
winter tie number will be largely aug
mented. The plants were placed in
holes three feet deep and from twenty
to thirty fee. apart. 1t requires six
years for the trees to begin to yield re-
turns, but it is estimated that in ten
years the grove will pay ten per cent.
on valuation of $1,000 900 A full
grown tree will mature about sixty nuts
annually. The Florida cocoanut cult
IRE is limited. however, as it is confined
exclusively to the sea coast, and the
trees can only be grown to small ex-
tent in Southern Florida In their native
regions the cocoa palms grow to height
from sixty to one hundred feet, with q
cylindrical stem which atta;ns thick
ness of two feet. The tree terminates
in crown of graceful, pinuate leaves,
end is very beautiful. In Ceylon alone
the number of cocoa palm-trees grow

among 3. flock of sheep on the farm OF
Lorin Wilcox, about two miles from
Oxford in that State. A great intimacy
sprang up between the crow and the
lambs. and the crow hoped about the
backs of the flock with deal of famili-
srity. So great was the attachment
that the lambs exhibited much uneasi-
svess if his crowship was not perched
,roon one of their backs. Amid a
STERN, or at night when the feek was
driven to the fold. the bird hoped upon
the back OF one of the sheep and went
with them into shelter. anu was seen in
the same position next morning, ready
to 60 out with the flock. The bird
grew fat and sleek. and his plumage
was bright, glossy and black as jet.
MIR. Wilcox said his sheep never did
better than they did last winter, and
they were perfectly free from ticks.

for a purpose, even the abused crow.
