The I'd of February in Sweden is con-
sidered the midwinter dav. In the era
of paganism it was great festival in
honor of the heroine Goa or Cola, del
fed under the name of Disa, to whom
the whole month was consecrated be-
sides. The legend of Goa is very Curl
Gus. 1t states that one time when the
country was visited by frightful fam
inc, the national assembly decided that,
in order to alleviate the general dis
tress, it would be necessary to put to
death part of population. especial
ly the old and iniirm. Goa alone dared
to protest loudly, and claimed to be
able to propose means of remedying
the dearth, which would prove more
efficacious as well as more humane.
The King ordered the execution of the
decree to be postponed; but in the in.
terim, desiring to test the sagacity of
the young girl. and to confound her
audacity, he sent her word he would
duly receive her on condition that she
would come to his dwelling neither on
foot nor on horseback, nor in a vehicle,
neither dressed nor undressed, neither
by day nor by night. Goa solved the
enigma. She came to the Kings
house on sledge drawn by goat,
holding on to the side of the sledge,
with one leg resting on the pole of the
sledge, the other on the goat. She
wore fishing net only in lieu of gar
ments, and She came exactly at the
epoch of the solstice, when the month
is still undetermined, at the time of
full moon. but while it was vet twi-
light. Being admitted to speak, she
advised that the old and infirm, in lieu
of being eXterminated, should be mere
ly sent TO the still unpeopled parts of
the country, where they would be able to
obtain the means of existence without
being any burden to the community.
The King liked the advice. and as the
adviser had charmed him by her beauty
and her wit, he took her for his wife,
Figaro.

Flood Rock, which was blown up
Saturday, was 1900 by 625 feet in sur
face dimensions. An artificial island was
built about the highest portion of The
rock, and within its limits shafts were
sunk and galleries were carried from the
latter in the desired direct
ion through solid rock and to the pro-
per depth Great care was taken in
cutting the galleries to carry them
safe distance from the bed of the river
so that there should be no flooding of the
excavations by the breaking in their
rocky roof. There We're, of course, leak
age, but none of them We're of important
character, and powerful pump took
care of the water which found its way
into the excavation. The greatest depth
attained was siXty-four leet by the main
shaft, and the average gallery floor was
about fifty feet deep. 1t was the inten-
ton to give clear depth of twenty-six
feet of water over all the points of rocks
composing that portion of the river bed
which has been operated upon. From
the main galleries of the excpvation ran
tunnels in every direction. The length
of the galleries and tunnels We're nearly
four miles, and the thickness of the shuIl
ofrock separating them from the body of
water overhead varied from ten to twen-
tv-four feet. Four hundred and sixty
seven rock columns, each about fifteen
feet square, supported this roof. In these
pillars Is, 1855 holes three inchs in diam
eter had been drilled to an average depth
of nine feet. They We're charged with

Canning Guavas.


The canned fruit trade is of vast and
growing importance Throughout the
world but in no part of the world are
the opportunities for making the m ost
of it more favorable than in Florida,
and no fruit in Florida is more whole
some and easily canned than the guava.
They can be put up in quart cans or Jars,
in good keeping condition, at an ex-
pense of not more than five cents per
package, including cost of fruit but
not price of can or jar. AS a wholesome
and appetising diet they discount oat-
meal and graham bread any time. We
have eaten Them a year after canning,
and found it possessed OF all the quail
tiles that caused it to be appreciated in
fresh state. That the process of can
ming is very simple as well as cheap we
are assured from the fact that our young
and inexperienced housekeeper has
put up quantity of the fruit in as good
condition as any we have seen put up by
more experienced hands.
1t was once thought that jelly was the
only form in which this fruit could be
prepared for market, and that some
wonderful secret of it's manufacture
would have to be learned before it could
be undertaken with profit. Many house
wives in our ne:ghborhood can now put
up as nice jelly as the best made in Cuba.
In fact the homemade jelly is finer
looking and better appreciated than the
Cuban ieIly But we do not think this is |
the most profitable or popular form in |
which this fruit will be used. The canned |
fruit is bound to become a staple article |
where ever it can be obtained, and our |
state can furnish large fraction that
the the hungry millions of this union
will soon require. No fruit yields more
or with less c1~c. 1t will
come as near yielding a thousand bush
els per acre as any fruit known.
