WARM AT FERNANDINA.
The Feeling Not as Hopeful as it was
a Day or Two Ago.


FERNANDINA, FLA, Oct. 17.-For the
twenty-four hours ending at o'clock last
night there were six new cases, but no
deaths.
The executive committee has directed
that hereafter the reports shall only be
given on the physicians returns, as there
was found to be some duplication in max
ing the report, but the colored auxiliary
reports show an increase of so per cent.
The weather is very warm, and there is
evidently an increase in the fever.
The sub-committees are using precautions
to prevent fraud, and at the same time
allow none to suffer, exercising the
same vigilance as in their own business.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-The following tele-
grams have been received by Secretary W.

tee in this city:
''FERNAND1NA, Oct IS, 1888.
New cases, thirty-two; whites, two-EloiSe
Ferrara and an infant of Mr.. Wimber-
ly. No deaths have occurred to-day. The
situation remainsu nchanged. The epidemic
holds its own still, cases being rather
on the increase. Our reports do not show
the full number of cases, as in some
Instances negroes conceal cases. The charac-
ter OF the disease is somewhat more severe,
The number of those falling on the association
for support is increasing and heavy labor is
called for on the part Of those in charge.

dition OF the farmers in Ramsey county,

"a minister was living In one room with
his wife and two small children. One OF
the latter was wrapped up in crib In order
10 keep warm, and the other was blue and
shivering with cold. There WAS no fuel,
with the exception Of a little dry manure,
which is all that any families have to burn,
and the only thing they had to eat was
dry crust of bread. Mr.. Horfmann
says the frost which came in Au-
gust destroyed all Of the wheat that
there was, as we'll as all Of the vegetables,
even those which are as hardy as turnips."

Age OF the Earth.


The age of the earth is placed by some
ut five hundred million years, by others cEs
hundred million of years, and still Others,
Of later time, among them the Duke of
Argyle, place it at ten million years. None
place it lower than ten Millions knowing
what processes have gone through. Other
planets go through the same process. Tho
reason that other planets differ so much
from the earth, is that they are in n much
earlier or later stage of existence. The
earth must become old. Newton surniised,
although he could give no reason for it,
that the earth would in time lose all its
water and become perfectly dry. Since then
it has been found Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling it will be-
come porous, and great cavities will be
formed in the interior which will take the
water 1t is estimated that this process is
now in progress, so far that the water di-
minishes at about the rate of the thickness
of a sheet of writing paper each year. At
this rate, in 6,000,000 years the water will
have sunk mile, and in 15,000,000 years
every trace of water will have disappeared
from the globe. The nitrogen and oxygen
in the atmosphere are also diminishing all
the time. 1t is in an inappreciable degree,
but the time will come when the air will
be SO thin that no creature We know could
breathe it and live; the time will como
when the world cannot support life. That
will be the period of old age, and then
will come death.-Richdrd Proctor.

Flower Gardens for Children,

Children love flowers quite as much as
elder people, and if they are permitted to
have n small garden all their own, in which
they can plant, and dig, and weed, and hoe,
md use the tiny little implements that are
made SO cheaply for the flower garden, they
will not only take the greatest delight in
its possession, and in the buds and flowers,
but will also gain a large amount of health
and muscular development Their love of
the beautiful will also be largely cultivat-
ed, and they can be taught 10 give flowers
% the sick and the pc or children, and learn
hat to give pleasure TO others is the surest
way of receiving il themselves. But of all
he lessons to be taught to children by
working in q garden the most valuable is
he art of observation. So minute, so var
ed and so delicate, aud yet so unerring,
ire the operations of nature that, although
the closesJ study may fail to divulge her
secrets, the rewards OF such study are SO
rich and so surprising that they are stimu-
lated to fresh researches. Let the child
plant morning glories to run over q beam
pole, four o'clocks, which bloom so brightly
every morning, mignonette and sweet al
lyssum and forget-me-nots to make tiny,
sweet bouquets. Then give q monthly
rosebusli, Il geraniunn, feverfew, and some
verbenas and pansies, and there will he an
amount of flowers that will gladden. tho
hearts of shopfnl OF children. II the
kind mother will attend to it and have the
beds laid out, and teach her darlings hoW

them an occupation that they will not
