the rear of Welden & Co.'S store. The
building was as far up as the seventh
story It is a complete wreck. AS it
went down it crushed in its fall the
barber shop next door. The crushing
building was then thrown against
Weldon &Co.'s store and crushed out
the front into Wood-st. The whole
street in front of ]. R. Weldon & Co. 8
Is full of debris. There were twenty
men working on the new building.
The rear ofall the stores on Wood-st. as
far up as the hat store of PaulsOn Bros.

barber shop, two have been removed
alive, two dead, and two are still under
the debris. There were at least fifteen
printers in the rear of Weldon & Co. q

Findlay Gamblers Surprised.

FNDLAY, o., Jan. Z-Saturday night the
police organized surprise party for the
gamblers of this place, and pulled every
establishment in the city, raiding ten dens
and capturing over fifty operators. The
mayor held court from midnight until o
o'clock Sunday morning, and assessed fines
aggregating 81 ,00O, in addition to the costs.
The city has been overrun with gamblers,
and the sudden spasm of virtue on the part
of the authorities has struck them dumb

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not imme-
diately fatal it is among the most dis
tressing, nauseous and disgusting ills
the flesh is heir to, and the records
show very few or no cases of radical
cure of chronic catarrh by any of the
multitude of modes of treatment until
the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm
a few years ago. The success of this
preparation has been most gratifying
and surprising. .d' 1t

The lumber resources of the south
are being rapidly developed. In, 1880
the State of Louisiana produced from
her magnificent forests of hard and soft
wood but 142, 600, 900 feet, valued at 81, :
700,000s Now the product is set down
at 450, 900, 900 0feet, and the value of ell
lumber products is set down at Sc, $50,
600. Thisis certainly very handsome
increase for eight years, but it is only
q hint OF what II is going to be in the
future, when the western and other
capitalists, who have purchased SO
largely of Louisiana, woodlands, begin
to market their timber.

How to Prepare Salt for Table Use.
Editor Household Department:

Editor Household Department.:
During most of the time in Florida,
salt so attracts moisture that one finds
it difficult to sprinkle it onfood-it wants
to deliver itself in solid installments, es-
pecialy is this true in our rainy season.
To avoid the inconvenience prepare my
salt in this way: turn it from the sack
into fat earthen-ware dish, place this in
the warm mot hot) oven, allowing it to
remain until perfectly dry, after which I
roll it with round bottle on board till
all Jumps disappear. Then to ten spoon
fuls of salt thoroughly mix one spoon
full of corn starch. When all is prepared
in this way, place it in a glass jar and
set in on a shelf near the stove ready for
use as needed.
Try it, ladies of the Household, think
you will be pleased. The philosophy of
the idea is the drying process evaporates
the inherent moisture of the esalt, the corn
starch wraps each particle in a coat al
most impervlous to dampness.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-29

This may not be new to most OF the
readers of the Household Department,
but if it helps little ] am repaid for
giving it. I am helped and pleased by my
gleanings from Mrs Farr's department,
and feel as if we all ought to lend hand
in aiding each other.
EDITH MONTROsE.
[HOw many things there areto learn in
all household matters. Even in the little
matter of using salt it seems there is an
improved way of doing so. We thank our
correspondent for her suggestion, also
for her appreciative words.-ED. H. d.

Orange Growers, Attention.

There will be a meeting of the Florida
Orange Growers Union in Fry's Opera
House, Palatka, on June 5th, at o'clock
p. m. IL the associations already formed
throughout the State are requested to
send delegates, and it is desired that as
many members as possible attend also.
1t is H~'Nin urged upon those sections
that have not organized to do so at once,
for we want every orange grower in every
precinct of every county represented in
this meeting, and also enrolled in the
membership of the State organization.
The object of this convention is to
carry forward the work so successfully
begun at Leesburg May 1st, of organ
zing the orange growers of Florida with
the view of adopting some one system of
marketing our oranges on which we can
all unite. And this work will be continued
until every grower in the State is enrolled
as a member of the Florida Orange Grow
ers' Union. Let all who possibly can, at
tend this meeting at Palatka, as impOr-
tant action will be taken. Arrangements
have been made with the railroad COM
panies throughout the State giving all

What our Girls Should Learn.

We were specially interested in reading,
the other day, that in school of my ac-
quaintance OF years gone by, the custom
of the teacher now is to read the tele
graphic dispatches in the morning pa
pers. These, with the important current
events of the day, are then briefly discuss
ed and commented upon before entering
upon the regular studies OF the day.
In this same school United States his
tory is taught in quite novel manner:
A class in the study of that part of the
constitution pertaining to the election of
president and vice-president, is in the
habit of going through that important
proceeding in a most practical way The
school is divided into two factions. repre-
senting our two great political parties
Tickets are nominated by ballot in the
sham cOnvention-each party being al
lowed to nominate ticket. The candi-
dates are, of course members of the
school, and when they are puzzled how to
proceed they consult the constitution
They choose their electors, and if a tie oc-
ours on either president or vice e-president
they resolve themselves into the House or
Senate and thus decide the contest.
In this very practical way is the gov
ernment. as well as the politics of our
count -lade plain to the pupils. Much
enthusiasm, of course, is manifested, as
frequent points of order" and "consti-
tutional references" are insisted upon.
AS nearly as possible they do the work
that is actually done in our national
elections, thus putting into use the
knowledge acquired.

should be equally interested and enthusi-
astic. Why should they not be? There
is too much lamentable ignorance among
our young folks, especially the girls and
young ladies, concerning the current
events of the day. How mauy of them
will give you a correct account OF the
Samoan difficulties? the agitating ques-
tions concerning capital and labor? state
prisons? and civil service reforms?
Young ladies should be specially encour-
aged to read the telegraphic news and
comments of the newspapers on the ls-
sues of the day and it is not surprising
that they soon prefer such reading to the
trashy novels. Said one young lady ::
''It affords me something to talk about
to the gentlemen, who are specially inter
crested in these matters"
In this same school to which we have
referred, instruction is also given in or
ganizing societies, and in parliamentary
usage, where the girls, if not actual par
ticipants, cannot help but become hear
ers.
In these busy, philanthropic days,
scarcely town of any size but has it's w.
C. ~, or some benevolent organization
over which some lady is called unexpect-
edly to preside. How difficult it is to Sc
lect anyone to do this with ease and
gracefulness of manner, and who is we'll
qualified for that position, we well know.
1t is an accomplishment seldom found,
except from long, continued practice.
In order to gain confidence and over
come that shrinking timidity and ner-
vousness when called to duty Oft this kind,
I have thought that if the women and
girls of our towns who appreciate needful
preparation for such service, would form
themselves into clubs or lyceums, making
speciality of practicing this branch of
study of parliamentary usage, as well as
mutual improvement otherwise, it would
be a good thing. Each lady could in turn
preside at the meetings; introduce the
speakers, appoint committees, etc., con-
sulting Roberts Rules of Order when nee
essary. This is being done to some ex-
tent in the W. C. T. U. organizations,
having department for that purpose.
But this subject admits of much enlarge
ment, and we leave it unfinished. 1t may
be that some of our readers willstill ques-
tion the propriety of women as public
speakers in any way, but since the multi
plication of guilds, charitable organiza-
tions, literary, temperance and mission
ary societies, in these busy days of wo-
mans work, the necessity of her being
posted on these matters, able to conduct
meeting in business-like way, and thus
meet the demand of the times, remains
unquestioned.
