from the Key West CFla.) Democrat.
There is no reason why Monroe county
should not afford large portion Of the
chocolate which Is consumed in the
United States. We have climate and
soil which is admirably adapted to its
production, and it Will certainly pay a
handsome profit upon any proper invest
ment made in its cultivation. The name
is derived from the Aztec chocolate, and
it is, as we know, q nutritious drink, and
ia prepared from the cocoa, which is the
fruit OF the tbeOby081d c0cdO. The tree is
found IN Central America, South America,
and Mexico, and the West India
Islands. Ii is a beautiful evergreen,
growing to the height OF from II to 20
feets produces both fruit and flowers
dGring the entire year, and is one Of the
bandsomest plants known. The fruit is
about five or six inches long and about
two and half In diameter, and Is shaped
Ike pod of okra. 1t turns yellow when
ripe, and contains generally from 20 to 30
beans in the fruit. These are arranged
in rows in a rOse-colored pulp, which is
sometimes eaten. The fruit ripens in
June and December, at which time the
beans, which are about the size Of she'll
ed almonds, are separated from the pnip
and dried in the sun, when they are ready
for market. They are then roasted like
coffee, which causes the shells TO separate
from the beans. These shells are sorted
BY winnOwng ana form an inferior cocoa.
The seeds thus prepared are sometimes
used for food after being boiled a long
time, but il they are to be made into choc-
0ate, they are ground mixed with starch
sugar and other substances and made
into cakes The best chocolate, however,
IS simply made from shelled beans, which
are psrched and ground like coffee. The
irregular pieces into which the seeds sep
arate after being sbelled are called nibs,
and are the purest form In which cocoa
can be bought Collector Harris is now
experimenting with some Of the seeds
with a Wow Of starting cocoa farm. IL
takes about three years for the plants to
come into bearing.

FROM the THOMSON tGd J0dradt-
When Judge Hardaway came into town
last Saturday morning his most intimate
friends failed 70 recognize him, and every
horse along the street broke loose and
stampeded TO the country, He looked like
tOrked cotton bale, vita a hat On the top
end, and a decided inclination to wabble.
When Col. Bush and Joe Jones unwound
him they found that he had ON four suits
OF fannels, three pairs Of pants, two
vests, three coats, ten pairs OF socks, one
pair of boots, then more socks, three
overcOats, shawl and ten
yards Of bagging, then another overcoat
and a blanket and Il dustrr and some
more pants, and bed quilt wrapped
around his jaws and head, and small
black hat, and two pairs Of gloves and
his hands in his pockets, and you couldn't
see any Of him except one eye and the
end of his nose. The surplus buds taken
OFF OF him exactly filled an empty
crOckery crate. He was speechless when
they finished shuckihg him, but when he
recovered he stated pointedly that he in
tended to keep warm if it involved this
country ia a civil war.

Mrs. r. G. Miller, OF this place, who
died few months ago at an advanced
aga, was a lady Of remarkable activity
with her knitting needle. For many years
she had been engaged in knitting one pair
OF socks and stockings after another unit.
she had accumulated perhaps several hum
dred pairs. She was never known to sell
a pair, but doubtless in her own mind
preferred 10 place them away for the use
of her children and grandchildren after
she had passed away. Mrs. Miller was
lazy OF considerable means, and would
often place her money in secret places.
A few days ago the heirs OF the de-
ceased met at the old homestead
10 equally divide the personal effects Of
their beloved mother and sister. Alter
distributing many relics they came TO the
stockings their mother had knit, and
found that there were three -four sacks
well filed with socks and stockings Of
various sizes all neatly and carefully ar
ranged m the sacks. After these articles
had been distributed there was found in
one Of them the amount Of SlO0in national
currency. How long this money mad
been placed away is not known, but
doubtless for many years. AS Mrs. Miller
was very abscnt-minded 40 Is thought
probable that other amounts may be

intelligence that the feeble form of the
aged father was akin 20 the icicles that

His remains were laid at rest Monday
afternoon.
1t is openly asserted by some Of the col

main in the sons house, and was required
to GO in the little hut in the yard used
heretofore as a potato house, ana conse-
quentiv troze to death. We are not pre-
pared 30 say whether this is true or not.
To say the least o. it, parental affection
should not have allowed him to be placed
in the cold Potato house all alone, such
weather.

There appears to be a little legal com.
plicaton between the cities of Monte
yuma AID Americus. MOntezuma has
just built boat 10 navigate the Flint
river between NOntezuma and Warwick
at cost OF $1,000. Eleven years ago
Americas built bridge across the river
at Danvile, about half way between
Montezuma and Warwick, for the pur.
pose Of controlling the trade Of DOOly
county. This bridge is still the property
Of the city Of Americus.
M0ntezuma can not pass this bridge
with her boat. And what Is to be done
MOnteZuma thinks AS the Flint is a navi.

move the bridge, it being an obstruction
10 the free navigation OF the river. The
best legal talent in Americas contests
this construction Of the laws Of nayiga-

Mr.. Hill, ofthe Chicago Humane
Society, tells the following story ::
"When George Stone, of Cincin-
natl, found that a Kentucky mare
which be had purchased was very
speedy animal, he hired a man to
train her. The man was cruel to
the mare, and he made but little in
developing her speed. She became
obstinate and ugly, and not only
refused to work right in the sulky,
but was vicious in her stable. Luck
ily this blundering, cruel trainer
was discharged, and William Blair
employed i'm his stead. Blair at
once reversed the tactics of his
predecessor, and began to treat the
mare with kindness. She quickly
responded with better behavior. and
i'm short time became affectionate
and obedient. Whereas her former
master was afraid to go into her
stable unless she was securely tied,
Blair taught her to pick apples out
of his coat pocket. AS soon as
man and beast had established
these pleasant relations good re-
suits began to appear. The mares
speed developed rapidly, and she
was soon able to make the famous
record of 2:1O4. A year or so
more of cruel treatment and Maud
S. would have been ruined"

The Treasury department has
issued an order to stamp the word

sented at the sub-Treasury found
to be one-half of l per cent. below
the standard weight. The coins SO
stamped have to be sold as bullion,
thus entailing a serious loss on
holders. Coins even slightly worn
will no longer pass. This order

coast, where gold coin is the chiet

Where summer army comes;
Each soldier with a clover shield,
The honey bees with drums.

The Captain tree who stands
Saluting with sword OF grass
And giving the commands,
'Tis only when the breezes blow
Across the woody hills,
They shoulder arms, and To and fro
March in their full dress drills.
Boom. rata they wheel in line
And wave their cleaning spears:
March, cries the captain, giving

And every soldier cheers.
But when the day is growing dim
They gather in their camps,
And sing good thanksgiving hymn
Around their FREELY lamps.

To keep them warm and dry.

Last Thursday, in company with
DR.. S. A. Knapp and Prof. A. Thomson
we rode out come two and half miles,
to where the slaughter house and pens
which are being constructed for the
the purpose of supplying the market
house which Mr.. Watkins is having
erected South of the NJ. Z. Church, on
Bilbo street. We found slaughter
house 2oxs4 feet, well supplied with
all the latest improved implements and
contrivances for the proper and easy
handling of beeves. The room is so
arranged as TO allow three beeves to
be slaughtered at the same time, with
out conflicting. There are being
erected the necessary pens, tenement
house, etc., to carry on the business.
Our attention was directed to ten
ement house 1894 fest, two-stories
high, with five rooms, kitchen and
dining room, attached, l2x16 feet, all
cypress, except the flooring, finished
up neatly, at cost of only Sl75.
These buildings are under the direc-
ton of Mr.. F. R. VanDyck, son of DR..
Vandyck, of Virginia.
The road leading from the slaughter.
house to town is to be about 80 feet
wide. At this market house, which is
centrally located, people will be able
to get beef, veal, mutton, pork, fish
and fowls in the way of meats, besides
all kinds of garden vegetables, fruits
and milk. To supply this latter inn
portant branch of the market, $50
picked cows are to be brought from
stock lately purchased by Mr.. Wat
kins from Dupre. The milk is to be
put in pint and quart bottles and num-
bered with duplicates so that parties
may be able to get milk from the
same COW each day if desired. The
milk will be taken from the
dairy to the market house and kept
in refrigerasors until called for, thus
keeping fresh and sweet until needed.
Prof Thomson's ice factory will
serve a good purpose in this connec-
ton. 4
