Suffolk Berkshire Swine.

Our late Col. M. G. Weld. than
whom no man was closer or better
judge of live stock, had a prevailing
fancy for Suffolk swine, that valuable
breed which crosses successfully with
all other strains. and has supplanted
the lank, coarse animal of the past.
The present Suffolk is.a noted breed,
of admirable symmetry, quick fat
tenfhg t-mperam, Mt, with short legs,
rather small in size, and having sim
gularly compact body. 1t natures
early, weighing two hundred to two
hundred and fifty pounds, and is fa-
nous as roasters. But it is rather to
speak Of cross Of these Suffolks with
the improved Berkshire that this arti-
Gle is designed, and to direct the read
er's attention to the picture given
herewith, of some excellent animals
of that cross. It is true that the
present Suffolk is an accumulation of
various breeds, and to it's value the
Berkshire and the Chinese races, to-
gether with the old-time Suffolk race,
have impaired their original capaci-
ties: but the present Berkshire, which
all the world knows, and none better
than the farmers Of these States, is
blood which aids most in furthur per-
fecting the bond, as must he conced-
ed upon observation Of these animals
in our illustration, which are expo
nents Of the cross between the mod
ern Berkshire and the modern Suf-
folk. This cross-or interbreeding,
for both families depend largely up
on the ancient swine Of Suffolk-pro-
duces very desirable progeny; the
improved Berkshire sometimes is very
large, although its size is rightly to
be called medium, and the improved
Suffolk is generally small, but in COM
bination they give an animal of good
medium size, compact, early matured
and fattened, and available to the last
and most useful extent for every pur-
pose Of the feeder or the shipper, and
economical to the consumer from all
points.-American Agriculturist

The attempt to burn the Tuscavilla hotel
at Mlcanopy this week was most delibeT-
ately planned A box was prepared with
matches so arranged that a slight friction
would ignite them. This was connected
with a block covered with sand paper, and
coiled spring that would, at a set time
spring out and ignite the matches. which
would in turn set fire to cotton batting
soaked with kerosene and surrounded by
two cans OF that inhamable oil. II was in

but by some mlscalculatIon it did not go off
until O'Clock il TIE afternoon, and was at
once discovered, and the plans of the in
cendlary thus frustrated.
Mr.. Simpson, OF Minnesota, is in ITALIA
haSsee engaged in perfecting his invention
for venuuting railway cars, which he
claims viii aso exclude all dust from
coaches an freight cars. He has fitted up
one of the Florida Railway and Navigation
fruit cars with his invention and
made trial with it, and says
that with a few changes it Will work
like a charm. If his invention proves a
success the Florida Railway and Naviga
ton Company will probably have them
placed in the new freight cars which are
soon to be built at their Tallahassee shops.
Mr.. Simpson has been granted patents on
several useful inventions, one of which con-
veys the smoke from locomotives to the rear
end Of trains, thus doing away with one of

MYSTERIOUS MEWING.
Note From an Organ That Was Not
Understood by Musicians.

From the Macon tGa.) Telegraph.
About two or three weeks ago the mewing
OF cat was heard among the organs and
pianos in the Georgia Music House. Sup
posing that a cat had taken up quarters
behind the row of organs alongside the
wall, few of the instruments were moved
out OF place, but no cat was found. The
mewing continued at intervals, and so am
Dyed Mr.. Irvine that he decided to find
the cat. An organ was taken to pieces, but
the mewing continued. Then piano was
investigated, and still no cat. The store
was searched, and yet the searchers CROPPED
in the dark
Things went on this way for a week
Prof. Munger happened to drop in one day
and he Joined in the search AS the cat
could not be found, speculation arose, and
the professor said he would advance one
theory for what it was worth Some time
ago a TayOrite cat died in his ware-rooms
Having been attached to it, the defunct
feline was buried in the alley. Possibly the
mewing was from the ghost of that cat
Mr.. Irvine rejected the theory and was
about becoming reconclled to the annoy
ance, when a day or. 50 ago he discovered
the head of a cat on the cornicing on the
opposite side of the room from where he
had been searching.
The mystery was now explained. The
cat, in some accountable way, had gotten
on the cornicing and lived in the inside of
1t. The cornicing is very close to the cell
ing, and the ceiling being arched the sound
of the mewing was thrown to the opposite
side of the store. A ladder was procured,
but there was no way Of getting out the
cat except to pull down the cornice, which
would be much of job.
The cat is still in the cornice, and how it
has lived there for over two weeks is a
mystery

Feeding the Fishes.

From the Green Core Spring (Fld.) Spring
We got hold of a little scrap of history,
during the week, regarding the numbers of
fish W which daily collect in the water front
at the Riverside House, for their daily ra-
tions. Several years ago, before these fish
had collected here, a visitor to Green Cove
shot large catfish which he spied at the
head of the Riverside dock. The bullet
struck the fish on the mead, but glanced off
without killing it. The sportsman conclud-
ed that he had mi. seSl his mark, and so
wandered away, little thinking of the pos
ible infection he had made upon the fish
Mr. Clarence Tyler, who had witnessed the
shot, fingered around the spot where the
fish went down. and soon after saw his fish
ship come weighing to the surface, as if in
dehrium. The spot where the bullet struck
was clearly visible and Mr.. Tyler concluded
that the fish had received his death blow
The next day the fish was observed to he
anchored in shallow water near the dock
and his pitiful appearance moved Mr..
Tyler to sympathy. Getting few crackers
Mr. Tyler induced the wounded fish to eat a
little. This attention was kept up for several
DAYS, or until the fish had become quite
lively, sufficiently so to show his apprecia-
ton for his meals by cutting up few Antics
after the serving of each course. IL was
not long before this wounded fish had hunt

conner was kindly received, it is not surpris

hnny tribes were made acquainted with the
life of luxury and ease experienced by the
wounded fish and his friends. AT any rate
the number OF visitors to the home of the

That il was not long before the number had
