you Florida is the foremost State in the
Union. The climate is SO healthy; just
think, that rattlesnake which l had in
the cage, in the yard, lived year and 7
months on climate, without bit of food
or water, and who may know how much
longer it might have lived had it not died.

years ago, when l ran my first boats
from Sanford to Lake Poinsett. For sew
eral mC2ths I saw aligators always in

Monroe as well as on Lake Harvey. I
called the attention of my men to it and
all noticed the special commotion of the
gators in these two lakes. After while
we found them all swimming towards
the channel connecting the lakes and ar
ranging themselves in lines like soldiers.
Ny boat was right between the two oppo-
sing lines and they kept closing together
the biggest ones ahead like generals. And
now a battle commenced, such as no one
ever saw before. They were so thick
that the boat could not move. and l had
to order the engines stopped. We lay
there full three days, blocked in by alli-
gators in a most vicious, terrible fight.
Dead bodies. with legs, tails and heads
torn off, were floating all around us.
This lasted till the third night, when
each side returned to its respective lake,
and now. when so through there l see

New York Sure.

AS far as New York state is concerned,
there is no doubt of the democrats carry
ing it. In New York there is a large in
dependent vote of nearly a hundred
thousand, whose aid and support deter
mines which party will carry the state.
Such has been the record for years. Sey-
mour had their support and won in 1868,
Tilden III 1876, in spite of Tammany
Hall, and Cleveland, as Governor, in
1882. In some other years their votes
were given to tee republicans, and they
carried the state. This year it will be
given soidly to Cleveland, and insures
the success Of the ticket in the state.

Sunny Rooms.

Those who build houses. do so for the
income they may yield. They are not
especially interested in the welfare OF
those who may inhabit them As a
matter of oDServat on we must Insist
that shaded houses are unhealthy, that
every dwelling in which the
young and growing live should have
sunlight pouring into some of its rooms
during every hour of the day. The i'm
portance of admitting the sunny rays in
dwellings can not be too highly esti-
mated. These rays promote health and
strength. We are apt to feel that good
health epeuds on pure air mo e than
on the in uence of the sun. They both
have so great an influence on life and
growth that they should be allowed to
I'LL every room occupied by animals or
plants. Light may be So direct and
brill ant as to be injurious to the eyes.
then let its penetrating rays be so tened,
y0ut let them enter in such way as to
do good and no harm.
Much has been said in recent times
about the value of a sun bath. No
doubt it does produce and retain a
healthy cond ton of the body. 1t costs
nothing but the means of exposing the
nude DO " to the sunny rays in such a
way as to exclude prying eyes. A few
aged persons, we have known, who
built small room upon the top of their
dwellin in such a way as TO admit
freely the sunny ravs but exclude all
eyes but His who lives in the space far
above. These men lived to see their
ninetieth year and more. They did not
hesitate to proclaim the great influence
of sunlight upon health and life. Others
will find, if they search, that sunlight is
worth more than gold-and pure water,
fresh air. proper food well d gested and
sunny house. always dry, will secure
health and strength. Any one who has
eyes and uses them may see that those
who live in the open ar and under the
sunny rays are healthier and stronger
than those whose DAYS are chic spent
in the shade. The feeble should seek
the sunny rays: many become feeble by
excluding from their homes the life
giving sun. They do all they can to
exclude the source o. all strength and
health. Let all pale, weakly women
court the sunny rays, and become robust
and strong.-C. II allen, N. d., ia

" Fighting Weeds"

We meet frequently with this heading
to paragraphs in exchanges. 1t con-
veys wrong lesson, as commonly used.
Simple and ct determination is bet
ter. If weeds are allowed to get a foot
in height. warfare is then begun and
carried on to an indefin tie length Of
time, and the weeds often come OF VIC
torious. The usual cause of this failure
is in attempting to cultivate too much
land with small force The result is
an enormous growth of weeds, n chok-
ing and diminution o. the crop. and a
supply of noxious seeds 10 fill the soil
and last years. The weeds get entire
possession in this way and the crops
have an unequal chance until another
blowing checks them temporarily.
The remedy is well arranged pan
for going over the ground once week,
n all hoed crops. sweeping the sur ace,
killing all weeds before they come up.
All this work is more than paid tor in
the increased growth of the crops by
this continued stirring. provided the
right tools are employed. Take the
corn crop for instan e. The pillow and
the harrow will prepare clean, mellow
bed of earth before plant NO. If the
field is inverted sod. it NAV be reduced
to state of fine pulverization with the
Acme harrow. or disc harrow, the fin
ish being given with any smoothing har-
row. BY plant NC the seed an inch and
half or two incl es deep. in the shall
low furrow made by the marker. q
fine slant tooth harrow may be passed
over both before and after the
plants are up W thout in urv to them.
The operation may be continued once
week until the corn is a foot high.
Some of the plants may he bent over.
but they will be erect aga n in a day
or two. After this a shallow cultivator
may be run between the rows till the
corn is as high as the horse back.
This work, properly per ormed, will
leave the field as clean as fioor-the
small slant teeth kill NC the sprouting
seed in the row and among the plants
as we'll as over the whole surface: and
the subsequent cultivating keeping the
spaces clean between the rows. We
have never seen cleaner fields than
such as were treated in this way, and
the cost of this labor. first and last, was
less than the old hand-hoeing.
But Il must not be forgotten that the
first attempt will be failure if the ne
cessary work is intermitted and the
weeds get start. II is ipIispensabIy
necessary TO eep them constant
ly under the surface. The must be no
lighting" but suppression and ex-
termination.
The potato crop may be treated in
the same wav until the plants are five or
six inches high, after which the leaves
woult lie somewhat la"erated with the
arrow. Carrots. beets and turnips are
too small in early growth and re uire
clean soil in advance. with frequent
passing of the cult vator between the
rows, which. as they become larger by
growth. re Tire acultiva,or that NAV lie
contracted in breadth.-1he Cuitirdior.

Fancy Patchwork.

"Crazy- patchwork" has become q
man with many women. Just as 'rick-
rack" was year ago, and feather
edged braid' some time before that.
Every one seems askin, her neighbor
for "a few odds and ends of silk and
velvet for my crazy-patchwork, you
KNOW" and the neighbor replies:
"Why, I'm making it myself, and l
was lust 90 ne to ask YOU for some"
This crazy-patchwork can really be
made very pretty and artistic. and a
handsome sofa-cushion cover, a table
cover or spread can easily be made.
Those made out of bits of velvet and
plush are far more beautlf than those
made of silk and velvet combined.
To make the patchwork it is best to
collect about as much material as you
will need, and great deal can be found
in 70 II own home. Old neckties, hair
ribbons. velye cen, plush from worn
out boxes. bits of brocade from old fur
niture coverings. are all available, even
if in bits only an inch long, for the
beauty of the work is that piece of
goods NAV be long or short, narrow or
wide. Dress makers and milliners will
sell quantity of pretty fresh pieces for
ninety cents or one dollar. Then all
the bits of silk floss of various shades
and qualities should be cole ted. and
if quite quaint ty of yellow floss is not
to be found, about six ske rs should be
purt hased. Some of the stores are SELL
ing odds and ends of floss silks in
various shades at low prices.
Ii kn ,o1 t<sr I,
the next step is to plan The work. The
patchwork is sown on squares of mus
lin of eighteen or twenty inches, and
these are then Joined together. But if
a soft pillow is to be made take one large
square of muslin, the size wanted, and
stretch it nicely. A piece of black
cashmere, or any soft, firm material
will do as well. First trim off neatly
the edges of the pieces and then sew
them to the muslin with white or black
cotton. taking care to match the colors
well and to fit the various-szed pieces
nicely. OF course many pieces WILL have
to be cut to fit, but if one piece is not
large enough another VII be. After
the square is covered, then stitch the
Jennings with floss silk in both herring
bone. button-hole and 9th r fancy
stitches. A star or dot of the floss in
the middle of the piece is sometimes
very effective. The square is then lined
with black silk or masl n and sewed to
a piece of velvet or silk. which is to
form the back of the cover. The seam
is covered by band of chenille or vel
vet. Crazy patchwork quilts made out
of pieces of wooden goods are also very
etfecti-e.
Another fancy patchwork which is
very popular is known as Jobs Trou-
bles." Silk forms the basis CT the ma
terial. The work done in hexagons,
nineteen small hexagons being used to
make one large one. The small hexa-
CONS are first cut in stiff white paper,
stch side being an inch long and are
then covered with the silk. The pieces
are oned by fine back-stitching. The
large hexagons are .oined by small ones
of black or white crimson tint, and
form pretty coverlet or table-cover. e
Contrasting the two shades of the silk
make the smaller hexagons very pretty.
