cupied by as many denominations He
has set apart five acres of land, beautl-
fully located on the Boulevard, and
erected upon itan academy building that
would be credit to any New England
city Of similar size. A first-class school
is now in successful operation. The
plan is to develop this into well equip
ped and endowed college.
DeLand is situated in Nolusia county,
about l67 miles (by the river south OF
Jacksonville, ) miles east OF the 81.
Johns river, % miles west OF the Atlantic
Ocean, a little north of the 10Th degree OF
north latitude, on high, rolling pine
ridge. A railroad connects 1t with the
steamboat landing at the river. The
time between Jacksonville and LELAND
is from II to ID hours; fare, sou. Inc
growth of the place rivals that OF west
ern towns. About seven years ago an
almost unbroken forest covered the site
where now miniature city, WIN SUD-
stantial business blocks, large hotels,
bank, two newspapers, six churches,
public school building, an academy, ana
population of nearly two thousand peo,
pie, live in substantial and beautliul
homes. The people are exceptional IN
intelligence and morality. one is re-
minded of the early history OF Oberiln,
settled by earnest, enterprising, thrifty;
Christian men and women, who planted
the New England home, church, school,
and college in western wilds, making IL
to blossom as the rose. What Oberlln
has been to Ohio, DeLand will be to
Florida.
The great attraction which DeLand
offers to northern men is its climate, so
genial in winter and so agreeable IN
summer. Many northern families will
make this their winter home, to which,
like the birds, they can retreat from the
rigor of our northern winters. 1t is
health resort for those in the early stages
of consumption, or those having any
pulmonary, bronchial or throat disease.
Many persons will add largely to their
length of days, as well as to their COM
fort in living, by change OF residence.
1t is a greater satisfaction for such peO-
pie, if of refined tastes, to feel that in
going south they simply exchange one
home for another. They find there all
the characteristics of New England
village, -religion, intelligence, enter
prise and thrift.
Orange growing is the chief industry,
and thousands of trees are already plant
ed. Many groves are beginning to bear,
yielding ample returns for the time and
money Invested. Gardening, too, is
very profitable business.
If any of our readers wish to know
more of this northern city in the land of
flowers, they have only to write to Mr..
DeLand himself, feeling assured that
they can rely most fully upon his state
ments; or better still, let them do as |
did,-go and see for themselves.

Money in Chickens.

A lady who lives just on the edge OF
the city has kept for the past year, from
fifty to seventy-five hens, that have prov
ed very profitable. She has kept an ac-
count of receipts and expenditures, and
for the twelve months ending on March
LIST, she had sold three hundred and six
ty-nine dozen eggs, from the sale of
which We realized $132, all of which was
net profit, as the fertilization the chick
ems furnished the orange grove more
than compensated the expense of feed
ing. Besides the above poultry sup
piled the family with eggs and chickens.
Mr.. S. Strange has seventy hens, and
since the first of last January he has
sold enough eggs to buy the food for his
chickens, to feed and fatten five hogs,
feed three dogs, and topay fully one-half
his family expenses.
From the above it will be. seen that it
pays handsomely to keep hens in this
section, even on a small scale, and there
is no doubt in the world but that the
business would pay anyone handsomely
who would go into it exclusively.-Pa-
latka Daily Ners.

The Medicinal Value of Lemons.

The way to get the better of the bilious
system without the use of blue pills or
quinine is to take the juice OF one, two
or three lemons, as appetite Graves, in
as much water as makes il pleasant to
drink without sugar, before going to bed.
In the morning, on rising, at least half
an hour before breakfast, take the juice
of one lemon in a goblet of water. This
will clear the system of humor and bile
with efficiency, without any of the weak
ening effects of calomel. People should
not irritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid OF the juice,
which is always corrosive, invariably
produces inflammation after while, hut
diluted, so that it does not burn or draw
the throat, it does its medicinal work
without harm, and, when the stomach is
clear of food, has abundant opportunity
to work over the system thoroughly

Use of Raw Hide.

Some of our rural readers may find
these hints from the Vermont Chronicle
useful:
''The skin of an animal, whether COW,
calf, colt or horse, that dies on the farm,
is worth more at home than at the tam
ner's. Cut into narrow strips, and shave
off the hair with sharp knife before the
kitchen fire, or in your workshop on
stormy days and evenings. You may
make them soft by rubbing. A raw-hide
halter-strap an inch wide viii hold a
horse better and last longer than an inch
rope. 1t is stronger than hoop-iron and
more durable, and can be used to hoop
dry casks and boxes, and for hinges. Try
it on broken thill, or any woodwork
that has been split Put it on wet, and
nail it ON fast. Thin skins are the best
bag-string in the world. A raw-hide
rope is good substitute for chain. 1t
is valuable to mend broken link in a
trace chain. For some purposes it is
best to use in its natural state. For
other purposes it may be dressed soft"

Mr.. Henry A. DeLand, for many years.
He is native of Western New York,
and has been for a long time a resident
and successful manufacturer at Fairport,
where he is most highly respected as an
intelligent, upright citizen, devoting
much of his time, energy and wealth to
the cause of religion and Christian edu-

large misunderstanding himself ear

Turner's Premium Rice.

At the State Fair in this city Mr.. F. E.
Turner, of Duval county, exhibited a
bushel of rice which took the premium
for its excellence. The one bushel
weighed IS pounds, the usual weight of
rice being As pounds to the bushel. Mr..
Turner raised forty bushels of this rice
on three-quarters of an acre.
After the State Fair was over this par
ticular exhibit was taken over to the
Worlds Cotton Centennial Exposition,
where it has again attracted attention.
Mr.. Turner received the following letter
from Ernst& Co., proprietors of the For

Tanning with Palmetto.

We see it stated that large Tannery
has been erected, or is in process of
erection at Orange Park, and that pal
metto will be used for tanning, in
stead OF oak or hemlock bark. We sup
pose the parties connected with this en-
terprise know what they are doing.
Evidently they are not deferred by the
report sent out not long since by the
Department at Washington, that there
is no tannin in Palmetto. Practical re-
suits and theory sometimes, seemingly
at least, clash, in which event the latter
must yield until further investigations
disclose the real harmony.-Sdyord
