LITTLE doubt that the market will increase

cal characterof theplant and its inability

- The Olive.-Trees of the olive grow rap
idly and Iuxuriantly in all parts of Flori-
da, but they seldomcome into bearing at
I. the early agereported i'll California. Some
varieties, however, have been known to
produce fruit in four to six years. In
Spain the age of bearing depends upon
the size of the cuttings from which the
trees are propagated At Fernandina,
from the famous old trees at Dungeness,
3 fine fruit is obtained every year. Some
thousands of young plants are set out
j annually by way Of experiment Or in the
hope of future returns in fruit, and varie-
ties with foreign names but of whose quail
tiles little or nothing is known, are read
lily sold by nurserymen. Trees of ten to
fifteen years, are frequently to be found
producing flowers, but still in the Adde'S
cent state and setting no fruit. Much
older trees are to be found which bear
crops of inferior fruit, and belong in all
probability to worthless and undesirable
& kinds.
The culture Of the date is in very much
fhejsame state of progress as that OF the
olive, although it is not as extensively
grown as the latter. Scattered plants,
mostly very young, are found here and
there in gardens throughout the State.
Except in the case Of a fewtrees in the ex-
tremesouth, no edible fruit has beenpro
duced The fruit from trees atTampaand
other points around the lower coast is
pronounced good. Old trees at Mandarin
produce worthless fruit, which, however,
is ripe enough to gerninate. Many old
trees are barren for want of fertilization,
as the plant is diecious. Fertilization is
accomplished artifcially in some date
bearing countries.

| THE TROPICAL REGION.
From the 2Sth parallel southwark most
Of the arabic lands are found upon the
keys and comparatively narrow strip of
territory along the Gulf and Atlantic
coasts. In this region the pineapple and
cocoanut are of chief commercial import
ance and form the main reliance of the
population. The native fruits of this re-
gion are few and mostly of slight import
ance except for home use, but many of
the best productions of the tropics have
been grown and fruited by resident horti-
culturists. A very complete essay on this
subject has been prepared by Mr.. E, N.
Reasoner, of Manatee, and will be sub
mitted to the society. Contributions to
our knowledge of pineapple culture by
Rev. j. H. White, of Georgiana, and Mr..
Thos. E. Richards, of Eden, have been iE-
corporated into Mr.. Reasoner's paper
The following account of the tropical
plants that are grown or have been intro
duced and fruited in this State has been
prepared at the request OF the committee
by Messrs. R. D. Hoyt, of Bay View, and
E. n Reasoner, of Manatee. For conven-
ience the alphabetical arrangement of the,
plants considered has been followed,
rather than one that would emphasize the
relative Importance Of teach.

Secret Hiding Places.

One Of the most interesting features
of our country houses is the secret
hiding place. This generally has been
contrived with much architectural
skill, and in days gone by baffled dis
covcry fl ON the most observant and
experienced eye. In certain cases il
would appear that, for some reason or
other, the hiding place has been
specially kept secret among men,
bcrs OF the family. Thus in the North
of England may be mentioned Neither
hall, near Maryport, Cumberland, the
seat OF tho old family of Senhouse. In
this time-honored mansion there is
said to be n real secret chamber. its
exact position being only known
to two other persons-the heir-in-
law and the family solicitor.
According to the popular tradition,
the secret OF the hidden room has
mover been revealed to more than two
living persons at time. This mystic
rious room has no window, and despite
every effort to uncover it, has, it is
said, defied the ingenuity of every WIS.,
itor staying in the house. With this
secret chamber may be compared the
one ut Glamas, the latter possessing a
window, but which has not led to the
Identification of the mysterious room.

NEw-FANGLED RINGS.

Tho Latest Novelty for Young CouDles
Contemplating Matrimony.
'There is a constant demand for
novelties in wedding rings nowadays
as we'll as in every other Article of
luxury" an expert jeweler said the
other night, land we have to meet the
demand or lose the very desirable Gus
tom of young couples contemplating
matrimony. This season has brought
forth the most curious and beautiful
wedding rings yet designed by the
trade. Now, isn't this a daisy?"
The expert held up an oval loop of
gold.
"Why, that's just like any other
ring. The only difference is that it
has crooked scratch across the sur
face"
"Ah, that's just where the beauty
lies" retorted the expert. Just no

opposite what appeared to be the
scratch. pressed lightly on the needle,
and instantly the ring dropped into lis

of gold Topped together. sThe needle
had split the ring into two halves, each
half having flat, broad edge.
''There," said the jeweler, "you see
that the ring is more elaborate than it
appears to be. Those flat surfaces are
designed for the purpose Of being en-
graved with any tender or romantic
inscription that the bride or groom
desire to have placed upon the ring,
and they will contain much more than
can be put upon the inner surface of
an ordinary ring. After the engrav-
ing is done the ring is closed again by
fitting the two hoops together, and
locking them securely by concealed
catch fitted on the inner edge Of the
hoops. 1t requires the closest scru-
tiny to discovery, as you see that the
ring Is not an ordinary hoop of gold
These rings have made a big hit. One

prrrsRnRa,s POLICE ARE LucKY.

The police force of Pittsburg should con-
gratulate itself on its freedom from the ex-
asperating trials that seem perennislly to
afiict the guardians of Chicago's peace
Pittsburgers are not given to murder, burg
larry and mysterious disappearance, as Chi
eagoans are, apparently with the sole view
OF discrediting the local police. At present
the Chicago bluecoats are dragging all Lake
Michigan for the body of DR.. Cronin, who
persists in chatting cheerfully with report
ers in Toronto, forgetting that he has dis
appeared. The Chicago police have not re-
covered from the-efects of sudden change
of metal badges, which occurred when
Mayor Cregier came into Office, and the
ghastly humor of DR.. Cronin naturally dis
turbs them.
Tascott, the burglar, murderer and mys-
terious disappearer, was another instance of
this cowardly and cruel tendency of Chica-
goans to poke fun at their police. McGari-
gle. the boodler of Cook county, was an
other. How would our efficient officers like
such unsympathetic conduct on the part of
Pittsburg's citizens criminal and other
wise? They would not appreciate If, we
are sure. Therefore, when Pittsburg po-
licemen fall to comparing the size of their
shields and salaries with those of their
brethren in other cities, we trust they will
not forget to count on the credit side, the
abstentiOn of Pittsburgers from such annoy
ing practices as we have indicated.

MUSIC IN THE AIR.

Not within the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant as the saving goes, has Pittsburg
enjoyed such distinguished and enjoyable
season of music as this spring has brought
to her. The visiting organizations have
been numerous and of an unusually high
grade of excellence-the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, which has just given us two
splendid exhibitions of its powers under the
baton of Mr.. Gericke. very ftly exemplify-
ing the highest point reached. Nor have
local artists been backward. As has been
already said by THE DISPATCH, the Mozart
Club, two nights ago, surpassed all its pre-
vious notable efforts in its rendering of the
oratorio of Elijah" Other musical bodies
in this city have shown work of q very high
order.
1t is pleasant matter for thought at this
day that the grandest event of all is yet to
come, the May Festi- al. The preparations
for this great series of concerts have been
made so carefully and with such intelligent
zeal that their success seems assured.

In way it would be satisfactory to say
