when they are putting on vernal robes Of

OF grim winter, where the bowling bliz-

within a vacuum in the heart of man that
nothing but true and loving wife can
fill, who, with willing hands and loving
smiles, can bid tolls and cares forever de-
part. Surely this would be a paradise,
an Eden OF inexhaustible pleasure, an
abode OF bliss, where the weary cease from
troubling and be forever at rest. Graced
by the glorious etfulgence Of feminine
beauty, man is OF all creatures the most
happy, when he leads his bride to the
sacred shrine of matrimony.

LARGE Trees.
From The Gat,.espiNe lkza.l N.

From the Gainesville (FIG.) Ne1os.
Those who imagine that the sandy soil
of Florida is not productive are greatly
mistaken. Trees of enormous size are
common all over Alachua county. Jos.
Simms and Surveyor Baily, of Alachua
county, While surveying line in the
Ocklawaha swamp found an immense
cypress tree which measured thirty eight
feet and nine inches in circumference.
There is a live oak tree in Micanopy
claimed to be by actual measurement
twenty-five feet i'll circumference, and its
branches cover an area of nearly quar-
ter of acre. Its age, OF course is not
known, but judging from its immense
size. and very slow growth OF this kind
of oak, one would suppose its age to DE at
least one thousand years. No doubt
its large and spreading branches have
afforded shelter and protection for
the red man from rains and storms hum
dseds of years ago. Another mammoth
live oak tree twenty feet in circumfer-
ence may be seen three miles southwest
of Gainesville in the Rocky Point region,
near Alachua Lake. There are hundreds
OF trees in that vicinity from three to four
feet in diameter. In the city Of Gaines
vile there are hundreds OF magnificent
oak trees, many of them from two TO three
feet in diameter. Less than one mile and
a half of Gainesville there are many mag
nolia trees measuring fully three eet in
diameter, aud on the land OF MIR. Freeze,
northwest of this city, is fine tree fully
five feetIn diameter. There are also hick-
DRY trees near Gainesville measuring
from two ana a half to three feet in diam
eter. These trees are living witnesses of

An Electric Street Car.


With a groan as of a mortal ia pain the
new car used In last nights trial OF
the electric motor as motive power on
street railways limbered its stiff Joints
and started on its trial trip from the Ridge
avenue station, at Susquebanna avenue,
10 the south entrance OF Laurel Hill Gem
etcry, three-quarters OF a mile away. The
electric bell ratified merrily to warn traV-
e!ers to leave the track and the car IN
creased its gait as it sped up the road to
the terminus. The car was filled TO its
utmost. but loaded as it was it dashed
along at pace which a cable car could
not attain. The return down hill was
made in lively and eXhilaTating maner,
bat stops were made now and then TO de-
monstrate the perfect control the pil OF
had over the motive current. The ride
was absolutely devoid OF the Jars and erks
that mar the working of the cable and
horse cars.
The current which produced the motion
WAS generated by small steam engine
placed in blacksmith shop contiguous
10 the Ridge avenue station. The power
applied was regulated at will, the car
upon each trip requiring about five horse
mower TO run it. The wires conducting
the electric current are set in conduit
placed in the middle Of the track and
communicating through a slot with the
car. The ROAD Ded IL an exact counter
part of tine cable systems road bed
Frames similar to the cable grip are used,
carrying springs which rub against the
iron portion of the conductors in the con-
duit, thus forming good electric con-
tact. The springs are connected 10 the
terminals OF the motor by insulated wires,
and the electric contact IL produced by
means of lever. The same current
which propels the car lights il as bright
as day, rings the electric bell and heats
the car ia winter.
Last nights trial was made under the
auspices OF the Union Electric Company.

A Policeman Who Knows Something
About the Ills That Boys Are Heir To.
An old policeman seldom gets fooled
on a street gamin. Yesterday, when
woman ran out of her house on Fifth
street and informed passing officer
that a boy was lying dead in the alley,
the officer didn't hurry any. If the
boy was dead hurrying wouldn't do
any good. If dying the officer couldn't
save him. He walked slowly around
and found the boy stretched out on the
ground, very much alive but still max.
ing no effort TO get up.
Somebody run over him. and the
wretch ought to be discovered and pun
ishedr' exclaimed one OF the crowd.
''He may have shot himself" added
a second.
II think he fell from that she'd" put
in third.
"Or some larger boy has almost
killed him." chinncd woman.
The officer paid no attention to these
remarks, but after look up and down
the alley he bent over the boy and in
quired:
"How long have you mad it?''
Half an hour"
"How many did you eat?"
"Two."
"Well, you'd better get up and keep
moving and it will go away the
sooner"
"What is it?'' asked five or six
voices.
The officer crossed the alley and
picked up a half-eaten turnip and held
it up to view. Every body nodded and
said "Um!' and the crowd quietly
dispersed.-Detr0t Free Press.

CAPE COD CHARACTERS.
4 Remarkable Close-FIsted 1lsnss M
Against the GovernMent.

Against the Government.
Down On Cape Cod some years age
there lived a man named Watson Free
man, who was famous for his ''near
ness" even in region which has pro-
duced its full share of close men, a.
well as of generous ones. The cape is
a country that never does any thing by
halves, and when it sets out to make
an economical man it makes no mis-
take. The story runs that this Wat.
son Freeman once had q couple OF
boys employed in connection with hi:
country variety store, and that he rs.
tonished them on one third day of July
by calling them up and saying:
Boys, I'm going to give ye one dol
Lar apiece to celebrate WITH
As soon as the boys had in a meas.
ure recovered from their stupefaction
they pocketed their dollar and departed
in great glee. OF course they spen,
a good deal. having such an extraor-
binary streak of luck. for fireworks.
and, as their employer had the only
store in the place, they bought the fire.
works of him. Saturday came around,
and when the boys stepped up to get
their weekly pay they found they had
been docked one dollar apiece for alb.
sence from work on the fourth.
Watson had singular reputation for
giving generous measure in mOlasscs.
He always sold the gallon measure
heaped up little. as molasses can be
heaped up in cold weather, and always
drew attention TO it. NJ one could ac-
count for it until some one got hold Of
the empty measure one day and found
that the bottom had been knocked in
in such manner as to subtract a good
deal more from the capacity of the YES
sci than the heaping up added to it.
When the triangulation and survey
of the cape by the Government officials
was being made the lines were run
across agreat many estates, OF course.
and among them that of Watson Free
man. In the course of the work three
rails were taken from Freeman's fence
to serve as sighting stakes, and when
the work was done the stakes were put
back in their places. Freeman hove in
sight just as the rails were being re-
placed. and said to the officer in charge:
''See here, don't see as ought to
furnish the United States Government
with the use o. them rails for nothing"
The officer laughed. IF you have
suffered any damages through the use
of the rail-. he said, '.yOu had better
put in bill in regular form, and l
will pass it in
"All right" said Freeman.
He went over to his store and pres
emily came back with the following
bill:
