descend In graceful curves, sending of
branches, from which other branches
proceed, all descending in similar
curves to the muddy ground, over
which the tides spread twice a day.
These basal branches serve the double
purpose of props and feeders. From
the upper branches aerial roots de-
scend till they reach the water at high
tide. Sometimes tree may be seer
entirely dead except as to one branch,
which is kept green by sucking up
water through an aerial root perhaps
twenty feet long.
Another special provision for its en-
vironment is seen in the seed of the
mangrove. This, before falling from
the branch, develops into a miniature
trunk from six to twelve inches long.
The basal end being the heaviest, is
most likely to strike the muddy surface
first and to stick there in an erect po-
sition. The rootlets and seed-leaves
being ready to push forth, the young
plant makes a rapid growth and soon
becomes well-rooted and propped in its
rather insecure position.
As the mangrove usually grows, ris-
ing scarcely ten feet from the water
and spreading literally, the main stem
is of little Importance. Innumerable
roots descend from and support the
leafy branches, repeatedly forking in
their descent and forming a sort OF
basket work below high-water level.
Floating objects become lodged in these
natural weirs, shell-fish and other
marine creatures multiply in them,
and the submerged stems give support
to seaweeds and hydroids. In some
localities the roots become encased
with oyster shells, and this, probably,
is the origin of many of the oyster bars
that obstruct some of the lagoons or
so-called rivers of Southern Florida.
The mangrove thickets in the course
of time build up foundation for other
species. Of these none have a peculiar
habit of growth, except the black man
grove lAUicennid nitida). This tree is
remarkable as to foliage, fruit, wood,
bark and roots. The surface roots
send upward innumerable short feed
ers, black, 1.-THE and rising about a
span above the surface. This function,
evidently, is to draw nutriment from
the water at high tide, and, like
the knees of the cypress, they add
to the surface accommodations, which,
from age to age, add to the elevation
of the land. In this respect, however,
neither of these trees equals the red
mangrove.
The wood of the red mangrove sinks
in water and is not attacked by marine
worms. Hence, fallen branches and
trunks remain where they fall, while
material that floats in with the tide is
detained by the network of basal
branches. 1t is altogether probable
that the thousands of tree-covered
islands" in the everglades and big
cypress were once mangrove thickets
and that the present mangrove islands
will in time be added to the mainland,
AS soon as they are elevated above the
overflow of the tides, the mangroves
will give place to species that require
only brackish soil, which, in turn, will
be replaced by fresh water or inland

HOME AND FARM.

-Rhubarb and Raisin Pie: Two
cupfuls of chopped rhubarb, one cup
full of chopped raisins, one cupful of
sugar and little cinnamon; bake be-
tween two crusts.
Ordinary buttermilk is valuable
food. not only for pigs, but for the FAM
lily. 1t contains five per cent. of milk
sugar as well as mineral salts, nitro
genous materials and a portion of but
ter fat
1t is scarcely possible to have land
free from weeds; seeds of the common
weeds seem to be everlasting, and are
so numerous that the plants still con-
most persistent destruction.
When chicks are droopy or weak
care is needed to recuperate them, a
little more green food and onions
should be given them, or, if they are
too much purged, little powdered
chalk and bone flour in their soft food
one teaspoonful of each to a pint of
food is sufficient.
Powdered borax mixed with a lit
tie powdered sugar and scattered
about in spots will prove certain death
to cockroaches and to ants, and if that
is not handy, a few drops of spirits of
turpentine sprinkled here and there
will be as effective in the case of
moths.
Asparagus Omelet. - Boil two
pounds of tender, fresh-cut asparagus
in a very little salt; better still, steam
the asparagus till tender. Chop it
very fine; mix it with the yelks of five
and whites of three well-beaten eggs;
add two tablespoonful of sweet cream;
fry, and serve quite hot.
-Cocoanut Corn-starch Pudding:
Put quart of milk over the fire to
boil. Add four tablespoons of corn
starch moistened with little milk.
AS soon as the milk boils stir the corn
starch into the milk till it thickens.
Then add quickly the whites of four
eggs beaten to stiff froth, six table
spoons of sugar and cup of grated
cocoanut. Turn into mold after
adding salt to the taste. Serve with
boiled custard made of the yelks of
four eggs and pint and a half of milk.
The average weight of hens eggs
is said to be about ten to the pound,
but some weigh considerable more than
this, while others weigh less. A Ger
man author, who seems to have paid
attention to determining the ratio be-
tween the size of the chick and the egg,
says that the chick at the moment it is
Matched weighs about two-thirds as
much as the original egg. This would
seem to show that it is desirable to
select the heaviest eggs in order to
produce strong and large chicks.
1t is feared that too many farmers
and dairymen lose a good deal of
money by refraining on account of
what looks like an extra expense from
using concentrated foods. Our author
tiles in Canada say that we could
nearly double the present yield of milk
alone by careful and judicious feeding;
and if this is true the Importance of
getting the best concentrated food be-
comes live question with every
farmer. Another important feature
seldom taken into account is the very
great addition to the richness and value
of the manure which follows the feed
ing of oilcake and other rich foods. A
large percentage of what the farmer
pays out is returned to him in the
shape of manure of highly fertilizing

REMARKABLE TREES.

The Part Played by the Mangrove in
Forming the Florida Peninsula.
Among the agencies that have helped
to build up the peninsula of Florida
NAV be numbered certain trees which
are fitted by nature to grow on lands
that are more or less under water, and
that are too unsubstantial to support
other forms of vegetation. Like the
coral builders, they work SO slowly
that in "a single century no great
change'is accomplished, but in thou
sands of centuries the changes wrought
are very great. The most important
of these tree-workers are the mangrore
and the cypress. The former grows
on shores and shoals that are overh0Wn
generally by. salt tide-water; the latter
in localities that are overlooked at
times by fresh water. Both have
similar. obstacles to overcome, and they
accomplish thisb by very different means
The red mngrove (Rhizophora
Manolel covers hundreds OF square
miles of the southern shores of Flori-
da, the principal areas occupied by 1t
being the shoals lying between the
KEYS and the .mainland-which are
composed of calcareous sediment-and
the Low southern and western borders
of the everglades. In these localities,
and on tide-washed islands as FAR north
as latitude 30 deg, it forms dense
thicket of vivid green, rising uEiform-
" from high-water level, unchanged
by seasons. unaffected by hurricanes,
insidiously encroaching on the domain
of waters and helping build what In
future ages will be dry land. Far in
the interior, even on the northern
border of the State, are found beds OF
calcereous sedimentary rock which
may once have supported just such
thickets of mangrove.
In places on the mainland shores the
mangrove attains to tree-like dimen-
sions. forming tall trunk sometimes
two feet in diameter. Like the cy-
press, the mangrove is provided with
strong buttresses at the base, but these |
differ from those of the cypress in be-
ing OF the style called by architects
s'hyingn buttresses. Starting from the
trunk yard or two from its base, they |

Good Times at Home.

One is forever hearing of men and
women who go away from home to
have a good time; whereas the proper
place for good time is right ip the
home. The ways of having them are
as many as the sands of the sea; but
there is one reliable method for start
ing .'time,n and that is to do some
thing to please another member of the
family rather than yourself A little
exhibition of unselfish affection, a
favor extended, a reasonable indul-
gence granted may start train of
events which will brighten whole day
and make an evening merry. It in
wolves less trouble and far more fun
than a picnic.-Intertor.

Funny Writing.

No, my boy, there are no rules fog
funny writing that we know of, that is
to say, none that are worth following.
If fun doesn't run off the point of your
pen easy and natural like, it is little
use scratching your head for it, for if
it did come it would be scratch. If
there is any rule about funny writing
it is that the more you labor to be
funny the less fun you are likely to
produce. Funny, isn't it? But it is
fact.
You ask if it is better to begin
funny article with funny head. Yes,
certainly. A funny head is one of the
chief requisites in the business. The
greatest failures in humorous writing
have been caused by the absence of
funny head, on the shoulders of the
writer. If your head be only funny
you can drive right ahead without re-
gard to rules.
All, see now. 1t is funny head
ing that you are talking about. Ger
lainly, commence with funny heading
to your article, for if the article prove
to be dull you have that much advan-
tage at least. Crowd all the fun you
can into the heading. Make 'em roar
over it, and maybe the laugh won't die
out entirely until the end is reached,
if the article be not too long.-IerdS
