PineappIes and Their Culture.

A few years ago pineapples were a
luxury. Now they are as common as
native products. The fruit is shipped
here to dealers who make specially Of
it. The business in this city Is practically
in the hands Of half dozen large dealers.
Barrels are usually employed for packing.
The growers are not particular about
sending barrels of q uniform size. Any
package that can be had cheap is used.
Large sugar barrels have the preference,
as they hold nearly double the quantity
that the small barrels hold, and the cost
of transportation is less in proportion.
On arrival the pineapples are sold to
wholesale dealers The price is fixed by
the condition of the market.
Pineapple culture has become an i'm
portant industry in Florida. Key West
has been growing the fruit for several
years with perfect success. The climate
there is about the same as in the BAHIA
mas, and the sandy soil Is very produc-
tive. Along the Indian river in Florida
large plantations have been stocked with
pineapples. The product Of this region
is estimated as being three or four times
as large now as last year, and in the near
future it is expected that the domestic
fruit will supply the needs Of the entire

I7TspoI CT Medical Science.
Tolstoi does not believe in science, and
he thinks. in particular, that medical
science Is progressing in an entirely wrong
direction
Medical science" he says, lis entirely
arranged for the wealthy classes and it
has adopted for its task the healing of
the people who can obtain everything for
themselves. and 1t attempts to heal those
who possess no superfuity by the same
means The physician has studied with
celebrities in the capitals who only retain
patients who can be cured in the hos
pitaI. and who. in the course of their |
cure, can purchase the appliances requisite
for healing and even go at once from the
north to the south to some baths or other |
Science is of such nature that every
rural physician laments because there are
no means of curing workingmen because
he is so poor that he has not the means to |
place the sick man in the proper hygienic '
condkions and at the same time this ply
stefan complains that there are no hos.
pitfalls and that he cannot get through
with his work, that he needs assistants,

MEETING EYES.

We said good-by TO our buried past
And Tept and mourned oy the lonely grave
For the beautiful hfe that could not last
The treasure no tenderest prayer could sava
Then into the world we turned away.
And sorrow walked with US day by day.

We made grave, and we said good-by.
All, foolish dreamers we moved apart,
And thought In our folly, Love could die,
While life throobed on In the brain and heart
Now all Is over" we signing said.
Since Love the cherished, lies cold and dead.
Not so, beloved-ah. never so!
For whenever your dear face comes In sight
Heart springs to heart with the old, warm glow,
And silence speaks with the old delight.
An empty grave In the sunshine lies,
But Love still lives in our meeting eyes.

SARATOGA POTATOES.
How to Prepare Supply Quickly for a
 Large Family.

u
 Large Family.
 The only way is to purchase fry ing kettle with basket. These hold four to eight quarts. are beautifully smooth and have suspended from the upright bail the wire basket to hoid the articles to be cooked. They are simply perfect for their use and very reasonable in price, S1.50 being the cost of one holding five quarts. At a hotel last summer. suffi cient quan- tity for one hundred and fifty persons were easily cooked in less than two hours. Of course the slicer Ca simple device screwed to the table) is need- ed. With this the potatoes are sliced thin as waters. as fast as one can turn the handle. Any of the help were always ready to volunteer their services for this fascinating work. but none ever begged to pare or dry, which last must be done thoroughly in clean towel, or rather. if any consid srable quantity is to be prepared, sev- eral towels. A smooth hard wood stick or small paddle is best for stirring. As for the lard. set your kettle carefully away in cool, clean place and it is always ready; once in awhile the lard should be strained, but if properly cared for, little sedi- ment collects. Have sheet of brown paper ready and let the basket rest on it for a second, after removing from the lard give it gentle shake, sprinkle a little very fine table salt over the "chips" and place as thinly as pos sible on your platter. Never crowd them as they will take revenge in moiseaing if allowed 10 remain un- disturbed long. The Saratoga" Revere Beach, and .Nantasket" chips sold in the shops are poor sub- stitues for the real thing as above de- seylbed. -GOod Housekeeping.

RARE AND REMARKABLE.

A PENNSYLVANIA man has a sheep that the other day gave birth to four lambs.
 A MAN at Garden City, Kan, has herd of thirty-five bisons, thoroughly domesti- cated, docile and thriving.
 IN Westboro, Mass, recently hen laid a double-yell1ed egg daily for eight consecu- tive days, the weight of the whole being twenty-seven ounces.
 A FARMER of Green County, O., has four young hogs that can't hear it thunder. They will stand perfectly still while a gun is fired right over their heads. They have no ears and no signs of any, though in other respects they are well-shaped pigs.
 A MICHIGAN lady, it is said, formerly had a servant girl who was so deaf she could not hear sound, but, when at the table, the lady easily summoned her from the kitchen by rubbing her boot-heel on the carpet, the girl plainly feeling the vibra- tions caused by such slight movement.
 ABNER DoRsETT, a negro living in Hicl1- ory Mountain township, N. C., has prob ably the larg st head in the State. It is thirty-two inches in circumference, and makes him somewhat "top-heayy,' for at times, when the head topples over to one side, he is obliged to push it back into posi- tion with his hands.
 A MAN who lives near Pennington, W. Va, has lamb in his flock with one mouth, two noses, two separate sets of teeth and four eyes, all fully developed and ready for use. It is great curiosity, and bids fair to become as famous as the little lamb that Mary had. The same man not long since had a chicken matched with four feet, two tails and several other appendages.
 THERE is living in Chennubbee, Sumpter County, Ga., country girl named Irene Wilkinson who is quite a curiosity. She is twenty-four years old, weighs seventy-one pounds, measures feet inches around the head, 3 feet 1 inches around the waist, 8 feet inches high, and has arms and legs only fifteen inches long. She is quite iDtelli- gent, does good needlework, and also the cooking for her aged father and mother.
 LAST fall a citizen of Ann Arhor purchased a mustang mare from drove that was sold there. The mare recently gave birth to handsome little mustang colt. The colt was 'erfect, but peculiar feature is that when Orn it had a perfectly formed counterpart of the brand with which it's mother was marked. That on the colt is the same in shape, but of darker color than the rest of its coat and does not have the appearance of being burned there.
 A REMARKABLE instance of combined memory and intelligence was instarfced in a dog. He had remembered where the blanket he had used to sleep upon in the winter had been put away, and on the first cool night of the following autumn had gone to the drawer in which the blanket had been put and scratched to have it opened, which being done, the dog drew out the article and stretched himself upon it after taking it to its former place in the hall of the house.

Aunuse nIaha of Wire.

A house of wire lathing is one of the cu- riosities of the Manchester Exhibition. The architect is G. F. Armitage and the wire lathing is stated to resist fire. The wire lathing can be applied to any ordi- nary wooden beams. and it can De used for the partitions by itself; while wire cloths of various kinds form part of the same invention. It will be seen that the cottage if neat in appearance and. if fire proof, it has at leas one substantial prop- erty to recommend it.

A Nashville Mans Experience In Ne
 Tennessee Town.

A Nashville Mans Experience In New
 Tennessee Town.
 One Of the young men of the New
 South, who has spent some time in
 New York, is c. B. Duncan, of Nash
 vile. He is the oldest son of w. M.
 Duncan. one of the leading men ot
 Tennessee's capital. Charley" Dun- can is an energetic young fellow. who,
 although little past his majority, has already begun to push his way in the world. He is cashier of a bank at Nashville. His first banking expert ence. however, was in the mountains of East Tennessee, as cashier of the only bank at South Pittsburg. This is one of the new iron towns that are springing up all over Tennessee and Alabama. It was prof ected by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, which owns the large furnaces there and most of the land. In talking about his experiences. Mir. Duncan said: '.The natives of the section had never sc much as heard of a bank. They did not know what bank was for until it had been expla ined to them that it was place to keep the money, and then l fancy some of the rougher ones thought it was good place to make haul from by putting bullet through the cashier and running away with the money. For long time 1 had to sleep in it every night with a couple of loaded revolvers ready for execution, and my hair in wire-spring condition. Final ly l persuaded an old half breed h. dian to watch for me. He was man who did not know what fear was, and would as soon shoot as fake a drink. The money that they used to bring into the bank was curiosity. There were green backs of the very first is- sues, which had been hidden away in old places until the stuff fairly stank. Sometimes it smelled so foul that I had to open the window before I could count it, and then it was as much as l could do to stand it."
 One of MT. Duncan's experiences was with man who wanted to buy eggs. There had been for a time a grocery store in the same building with the bank. One day country man came in who had been drinking until he had scarcely any sense left in him. He was a lank mountaineer, with top boots and spurs. and the butt end of a revolver peering out over his hip. T want some ycggs," he said. We don't k eep any eggs, sir, was the young cashiers reply. "Yes you do. got yeggs yeah befoah, and want yeggs now" The cashier again explained that he was not selling eggs, but it made no impression on the drunken man. who reiterated his demand more than before. enforcing it with oaths and a movement of his hand to his hip pocket where the re- volver rested. Young D uncan mean- while had been slowly moving to a spot on the desk where his own weap- on lay, ready cooked for action. He suddenly leveled the pistol at the S head and coolly said: 'It you touch your pistol you are dead man. I don't keep eggs, and if you don't clear out I'll shoot you sure" This was the kind of an argu- ment that had some effect. The drunken man was so Der in an instant and looking down the mouth of the revolver he replIed meekly: ''All right, boss. No offense meant. reckon. thought you kept yeggs. Good day. "-M r Tribune
