The seacoast Of Southern Florida is
to be brought into competition with
Ceylon, the Malabar and Coromandel
coast of India, the tropical islands Of
the Pacific, the West Indies, and South
America, where immense groves Of
cocoanut trees may be seen. An enter
prising capitalist of New Jersey, who
sees millions in the project, has started
an extensive plantation of cocoanut
trees in Dade County, along the coast
OF Southwestern Florida. One hum
dred thousand.plants have been set out
on tract Of about 1000 acres at cost
of nearly $4,000, and next winter the
number will be largely augmented.
The plants were placed in holes three
feet deep and from twenty to thirty feet
apart. 1t requires six years for the
trees to begin to yield returns, but it is
estimated that in ten years the grove
will pay 10 per cent. on valuation of
$2,000,000.

FIFTY years ago DR.. Fisk, of Erie
County, Pennsylvania, murdered man
before his sons wife. The dreadful
sight boreft the lady of her reason, and
her child came into the world with a
diseased brain, that manifested itself
most fearfully in after life. An I'M
broken line of maniacs followed, de-
monstrating the truth of the scriptural
prediction relat @ to the sins of fathers
being visited upon children unto the
third and fourth generation. This has
been literally fulfilled in the Fisk fam
lily. Recently the last member OF this
Inflated family died ut Erie, after suf-
fering for years from the hereditary
disease caused by the shocking murder
committed half century ago.

ONE of the most remarkable suits on
record is about to be heard before the
Supreme Court of North Carolina. 1t
grows out of mortgage on his own
person, made by white man named
John Hando, of Pitt County, securing
Jim Taker, n cotton planter, for debt
due him This deed reads: Il, John
Hando, of the County of Pitt, in the
State of North Carolina, am indebted
to Jim Taker. of the State and county
aforesaid, in the sum Of $50, for which
he holds my note, to be due on the 18th
day of January, 1884, and to secure the
payment of the same do hereby con-
vey to him these articles of personal
property, to wit: Myself, to work with
him long enough to pay this debt, but
on this special trust, that if l fail to
pay said debt right away, then he, the
said Taker, or his assigns, may sell me
at the Court House door for credit or
cash. as he thinks best, after giving
twenty days public notice at three pub
lie places, and apply the proceeds of
such sale to the discharge of such
debt and interest on the same, and
costs and expenses of making such sale,
and pay the surplus, if any, to me.
Given under my hand and seal this, the
18th day of January, 1884," Hando
failed to pay the amount due, and
Taker was at liberty under the terms
of the deed, to sell him at public auc-
ton. Some time before the expiration
of the twenty days grace allowed the
mortgaged debtor the news got out,
and the Court House green vas crowd
ed with people expecting to witness the
novel sale of white man. An injunc-
tion was granted by the Superior
Court, and no sale took place. The
Supreme Court will hear the case.

Types of Women.
TILE AMERICAN.

Stylish and pretty, independence
personified, but very honest and pure
minded, is the American girl. She
adores pleasure, dress, luxury; shows
herself morally without concealment,
such as she is, in manner to deceive
no one; knows she is attractive, and
loves to attract without committing
herself. Flirts all the winter with this
one or that one, only to dismiss him in
the spring, choosing Immediately
another. Her resources are capital
which never lies idle. She goes out
alone; she travels alone; or, when it
suits her better, with a male friend,
with confidence without limit, and an
intimacy, In appearance, almost con-
jugal.
The one thus elected is allowed to
describe his feelings, and to speak of
his love from morning till night; but it
is not permitted to him to kiss even the
tips of her fingers. Words, without
deeds, she amuses herself with as much
as possible before marriage. After
marriage she has child every year,
passes all her days alone and her
evenings in listening to talk of BUSH
ness. mechanical inventions, farming
concerns or the like.
THE ENGLISH.
An adorable face, which, in the full
glare of day seems as though in moon
light, so pale and transparent is the
coloring. Large eyes, frank yet modest,
with long lashes. Little teeth which
leugthen perceptibly, growing like
grass in the country, until ut twenty
i've they suggest key board. Deli
cate and without pronounced figure
when young, later enormously stout or
dried up. Almost invariably hideous
at forty. Extremely exact in small
matters, model of neatness.
There is prudish simplicity in the
arrangement of her chamber, which
IS only place for sleeping and bath
ng. No one may enter there. To
allow even her best friend to see so
much as the pillow on which she sleeps !
Oh, no! Shockingl Absolute mis-
tress OF her actions to the day of her
marriage, but the slave of duty, she
prepares herself from ch,ld to he a
GOOD wife and mother. She chooses
her own husband, her parents are not
occupied with nor trouble themselves
about tho matter, for in England the
I'D maid is not an object OF contempt.
She has her own place in society, and,
If anything is lacking to her. she alone
V aware OF it. She hunts. rides horse

Hew TO Make n Bed.

Says the Philadelphia Press @Let
every bedEmaker, as soon as all the
covers are spread, turn down the upper
sheet and all above it, leaving O gener-
Gus margin below the bolster. Some
people, YOU know, pull all the covers
straight up to the top and lay the
bolster upon them, SO that when bed
time comes the bed must be rearranged
ut the head. Boys don't like this way,
aud perhaps some other folks don't,
either. 1t is the custom TO pile two
big, square pillows on the top of the
bolster, and then put on two pillow
sliams. and then, sometimes, or per-
haps before the pillow-shams. q sheet
sham. This is setting trap for the
unwary. Only remarkably careful
woman is equal to the, task of getting
of all the 'finery' properly. Why not
almost. il not altogether, abolish shnms
of all kinds! Why not honestly take
Of the big. square pillow and supply
every bel with comfortable bolster to
take tho place Of pillows? If you like
adornmcnt, ombroider or decorate the
slips and sheets themselves withou,

like, seem out of place on q bed, which
should suggest rcposo. Imagine big

Sunday-school in the afternoon. In the
course of his remarks he raised his
hand, expanded his digits, and said:

How many is that?" Five piped up
youngster promptly. "And half OF
them are girls" continued the speaker,
staggering his audience with his appar-

"How much is half of five?' asked Mr.
Cable. 1.-Two aud half" reproach-

girls" "Oh," gasped the little miss,
with a look of relief, and then there
was a ripple of laughter.
