take the letter at its face value, believing
it was really a confession, while not few,
who were not qoite prepared to 20 TO this

had grave doubts on the subject.
Many people attempted to pick the let
ter 10 pieces, and TO show by analysis and
comparison with the testimony adduced in
the Courts that the story wouldn't hold
water, bat IN this they were not especially
successful. For instance, one man, who
had carefully studied the matter, pointed
out that the letter said they blinded the
windows lin the evening" whereas Mrs.
Sgearipgen sWore the windows were blind
ed in the afternoon when she called at the

remembered that che was contra iicted on

FLORIDA LUMBER INDUSTRY.


Florida is another State i'm which the
lumber industry has made immense strides
within paratively recent period. Its
saWmlllln interest was formerly concentrated
around Pensacola, one Of the most i'm
portant lumber shipping ports in the
South. 1t has extended now over all
portions OF the State, the peninsula secur-
ing ma orty of the new mills The fact
that eighty new sawmills were built in
Florida in one year, gives some idea of
the rapid growth Of this industry. Plan
ing mills, sash and blind factories are also
among the new establishments opened
within the past twelve months. This um-
berlng has been confined almost wholly to
pine, and the luXurant hardwood forests
yellow OF the State have remained untouch-
ed, except when removed to gain new farm
ING lands. The lowlands are covered with
growth Of long leaf and Cuban pines,
interpreted with luxuriant growth of
oaks, live oaks, while the swamps are COW
cred by forests Of cypress, red cedar and
g m These pine woods are mostly very
open, otten scarcely deserving the name of
forests, and become Of less value going
south. After the 10th degree of latitude
is passed the long leaf pine deteriorates in
size and quantity, although ranging as far
south as the 9th degree, while the Cuban
pine, almost or quite as valuable tree as
the long leaf, yielding good lumber and
naval stores, along the coast at least, is
found Unavailable size and quantity much
further south. The interior Of the southern
part of the peninsula, known as the Ever
glades, contain large cypress sWamus
which have not been explored. The pine
lands of Western Florida, occupying a
narrow strip along the coast, are surround
ed by marshes and swamps, rendering
them difficult to approach.
The accessible pine and cypress of the
norlhen half of Florida is rapidly disap-
pearing, especially around the main lum-
Der centers of Jacksonville and Pensacola.

with red hill sides and gullies for trim

is putting up large silos for the better
preservation of green forage.
1t is his remarkable success with grape

as they so state in their preface, viz: Owing tc
the fact that epit~phs are entirely inadequate to
express bereavement at the death of relative or
friend, the prevailing style OF inscription
is one Of marked brevity" However, they
publish in this work, in very neat form, some
five hundred of the choicest and brieest sugges-
tons. together with the Hebrew, old English and
several other alphabets, which certainly render
it a very valuable and convenient reference
