REAL COUNT,
The writer paid a pleasant visit to
"Nilla Shovra," the romantic abode of
Count N. Wassilie II, VINO is the manager
OF the Russian ''kOumiss Cure Establish
ment," where inyaids are boarded and
treated with this famous preparation OF
milk, putupin Theoretically sealed bottles.
which, when the stopper is removed by =
patent c0rkscrew, foams and hzzes with
all the vitality of the best champagne. OF
course the ingredients are a secret, but
there is high medical authority for saying
that the kOumiss is good TO take, and
acts like a charm in some complaints
Your scribe swallowed the contents of
bottle and found the taste pleasant and
not unlike calculated buttermilk, 1t is
sold at 81 per dozen pint bottles.
"Shovra" is the diminutlVe In Rus
sian for alexander" and is the name of
the granddaughter OF the Count, whose
father is one of the Chamberlains AT the
Imperial court of St. Petersburg. We
saw her likeness and the Photographs of
all of the Counts kinsiolk They some
times visit hlm, but cannot entice the old
man away from his vineyard and orange
grove in this sunny cline.
THE FACTORY OF THE TROPICAL FIBER
COMPANY"
This is new and profitable industry
which is destined to utilize vast quanti-
ties of the hitherto neglected and value
less cabbage palm trees of Florida.
The process OF preparation has only
been recently patented, but the demand
TOR the fiber, which is manufactured into
broOms, brushes, etc, cannot be supplied.
The part of the palmetto plant used is
the laminated leaf which encases the
younger specimens, and is found also Just
beneath the tuft or apex Of the older trees.
This ia stripped or cut off with axes and
sold by weight.
These thick and fibrous leaves are first
thoroughly steamed and then hacked, or
torn into shreds by machinery, passing
through several processes before the fiber
of commerce is obtained, which, when
well dried, is packed in bales of 100
pounds each aud sells in market for about
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
per ton. The company disburses nearS50
every day, and as they import nothing, II
is a very important feeder to the town of
Sanford. The supply OF raw material is
simply ineXhaustible. With the "waste''
a strong article OF paper may be manu-
featured very chesply. ana the company
contemplate erecting works for that pur-
pose at an early period.
a Il II Ina
Talking with noted farmer VINO was
delivering from his wagon choice lot of
fowls, we were surprised to learn that
one of the worst foes to Florida poultry is
the ''chicken flea" This little insect, I'M
like the usual jumping pests, literally
buries itself out of sight in the flesh of the
chicken, frequently killing it outright
If permitted, it will attack bipeds of the
human species in the same manner.
From all such grieyous Affections good
Lord deliver US"
A NEW ENEMY TO THE ORANGE TREE.
From Col. Wylly, so long resident OF
your city, hut now engaged in the the
orange business near this place, we learn
that minute insect, almost invisible to
the naked eye. has appered in myrIads on
the under side Of the orange leaves, sap
ping their vitality and causing them to
drop as though bitten by frost. The own
ers Of groves are applying diluted paris
green or carbolic acid, and hope thus to
destroy the ice, but the outlook, to say
the least, is serious. The writer visited
one grove and saw bushels of newly fallen
leaves upon the ground, while the insect
in countless millions were still at work.
1t is thought that heavy wind and rain
storm would give them their 'coup de
grace"
A GOOD HOTEL.
The writer was the guest OF the Lake
View hotel, which is kept by a Georgia
landlord, Mr.. w. 5. Deidrich. who made
such a success OF the McAffee house at
smithvlle. His house is the favorite
abode OF commercial travellers. who al
WAYS hunt for the best, and is first class
in every respect. Though containing less
than 80 rooms, his register shows list OF
$500 autographs during the past business
