wHIMS OF A MILLIONAIKE. How He Pinched the CopPers While Preparing to Give Away Millions.
 roi,sI. rr:=


 In 1887 or 1888 Mir. Williamson, who was satisfied with the fortune he had accumula- ted, retired. He was then worth $20O, ,000 and was 35 years old, and the richest young merchant in Philadelphia who had made his money by his own exertions. In those days he was a social lion. He had wide circle of acquaintances and had the entree into the select society of the town. He attended the assemblies, fashionable balls, and theatres, and was quite asbeau. He spent money iber- ally upon his dress and was not inclined to be charitable at that time. He took mo- tion that he would like to see the world and took passage on a packet ship for England. He remained abroad for two years, and wis tied the principal countries of Europe, in- cluding Russia. He returned to Philadelphia, intending to remain about six months and then go abroad again, but he got interested in some investments. He began to speculate in coal lands in Pennsylvania and in other solid securities and was very successful.
 h less than ten years after his return from Europe, the then farmers boy of Cucks county was one of the four million aires in Philadelphia. He became engrossed in money making entirely, and withdrew gradually from the social pleasures which had formerly been his delight. The dead millionaire, whose fortune is estimated at ried. For many years he seldom visited his relatives. After he had made a million his life began to change, and he had no time for anything except money making. The days and nights were not long enough foI him. Mr. Williamson began to be careless of his dress, and his head became white with age and care, and he developed into char. acter and became very penurious.

 From the Garden and Forest.l
 Of recent additions to the food plants of this country perhaps none deserve as much notice as the Sweet Csssava (Manihot Aipi.) It seems to have been proved beyond ques- tion that on the southern border of the Uni ted States there are considerable areas ad mirably adapted to growing this remarkable plant ss & staple article of home consump- tion, while in Florida, at least it's manufac- ture into starch, tapioca and glucose ought to become leading industry.
 The cassava plant Is closely related to the ricinus or castor bean, which it resembles in general appearance. It is a handsomsr plant, not having the coarse, rank aspect of ricipus. It does not bear much seed, and it is not propagated from seed, but from cut tings of the larger stems.
 Before it is time for frost the stems that arc half an inch or more in thickness should be cut, laid in piles and covered with earth It is said also that the stems may be kept where they will become quite dry without having their vitality impaired. When ready for planting, in January, February or March, the stems are cut in pieces about six inches long. These are planted four or five feet apart and three or four inches deep. The crop receives shallow culture till sufficiently grown to shade the ground and hold it's own against weeds. It may be left to grow for two years with advantage, thus requiring 6 minimum amount of culture. The roots should be dug only as wanted for use, as they decay soon after being exposed to the air. Cassava requires mellow, we'll drained land, and responds readily to maturing Florida's sand hills seem to be specially ! adapted to this crop.
 As to the quantity of cassava root tha may be obtained from an acre of ground, ns | satisfactory estimates have as yet been made It must vary greatly under various condi tions. A single plant grown in Polk county | produced fifty pounds of roots, the toI measuring eight feet in height and ten fee \ in breadth. It had been highly manured A person who has given special attention t. the cassava thinks that from ten to fifty ton l of roots of one years growth ought to b' l obtained from an acre of land, according t. it's quality. This is little better than con lecture, but certainly the plant yields enor mously under favorable conditions.
 The uses to which cassava may be put ar almost too numerous to mention. By manu facture it may be converted, with searcel any waste, into starch, tapioca and glucose In the tropics cassava four is used exten sively for making large wafer or cracker which is quite palatable and keeps withou injury for months. Florida housewife have used it for making bread, puddings custards, fritters, jellies, &c.; also as a vegs table it is used in all ways in which Irish pc tatoes are used.
 It is as food for stock, however, that css sava has excited most interest. It is greatl relished by cattle, horses, hogs and poultr. and seems to be very wholesome article food. The great tubers, sometimes three l four feet in length, may be taken from u ground at any time of the year and used ! food for man or beast.

Something About Miss Fletcher an
 Books She Has Written.

Newport Letter to the Hartford Courant.l
 see that your Boston correspondent notes the forthcoming book of Miss Fletcher, which she has most unfortunately named 'The Truth About Clement Kerr" Miss Fletcher is not in the least an imitator of Mir. Saltus, and it is a slip that she should SO chrlsten her new book that is associated with his. Ot all young writers it seems to me that her book, sKismit," written when she was eighteen ana published by Robert Brothers in 1876, was as remarkable as that of any young girl author that America has nrodnced. She was even young enough to take the pen name of "GeorRe Fleming,a that did not in the least veil the charming femininity of her work stJulia'' q think she signs herself Constance Fletcher

Two stories without a Moral
Chicago News: William IL Crane, the
comedian, tells of an interesting experience

was approached by besotted tramp, who
looked earnestly at him and inquired. Ills
your name Crane?"
''lt is, sir" said Mr.. Crane.
"Are you William II. Crane. the come

"Mr. Crane" said the tramp in reassured
tones, "give me Is cents"
Fifteen cents - echoed Mr.. Crane
"Why, what do you want with rs cents -
"a want TO buy drink" said the tramp.
"Ah, my friend" said Mr.. Crane, in a
reproachful tone, II fear you are deceiving
me. l have already met about twenty OF

them has asked me for fifteen cents TO buy

that II give you fifteen cents you wont

The tramp drew himself up as proudly
as he could and said: IL pledge you my
word and honor as gentleman that shall
spend the money for liquor"
''Oh. that's an eutirly different thing"
