FLORIDA LEMONS.

According to recently published &C
counts, the lemon industry of Sicily is
threatened with extinction, owing princi-
pally to the fact that one of its best Gus
toners, America, is now supplying her
self with the coveted fruit. Lemon
growing in Florida is, it would seem
most profitable industry; for grove
of young trees costing each about three
shillings, will in four years. time pro.
duce crop of fruit selling for $500 pei
acre, increasing regularly, until at the
end of ten years, ten times that amount
will be netted from each acre of lemon
trees. The planters find that the richer
soil is SO productive that it is not an un-
common thing to find single tree
loaded with from four to five thousand
lemons, each one being of pound
weight. It is curious to note that this
large-sized fruit is not salable, for the
very ludicrous reason that it is too big
to fit the common American lemon
squeezer; SO the lemon trees are being
now planted on poorer soil, so that the
exuberance of their growth may be
checked,

CANTHARIDES.

The power of Spanish flies, another
name for cantharides, is chiefly used fol
blistering. The flies abound in Spain,
Italy, the South Of France, Hungary,
and Russia. They usually make their
appearance in swarms upon the trees in
May and June, when they are collected
Persons with their faces and hands pro-
tected shake the trees, and the insects
are received as they fall upon linen
cloths. They are then plunged INTO
weak vinegar until deprived OF life ana
next dried and packed in boxes Or casks
lined with paper, ready for shipment.
The Russian flies are distinguished for
their greater size, and their color ap'
proaches to that of copper. Adultera'
lions are not common. Occasionally
other insects are added, purposely' OF
carelessness, but they may be reaoly
distinguished by their different shape of

motto. The newest thing is a shop
where men and women may have their

soles, put into sewing or mailing ma.

dozen Of his fellow citizens. He was,
even for that community, an extraordi-
narily severe man. One evening Boil

affair. The testimony was that the de-

that Boiling Immediately drew his
pistol and fred, killing the man who
had insulted him at the first shot.
The jury went out to deliberate, and
after short time returned the follow

"We find that the deceased, Henry
Jones, committed suicide"
The Coroner was amazed. II shall
not receive the verdict" he said.

Inc most unique and one of the most

d ''e style of its finish, together with
the ''ubject portrayed in its decoration,
!orih a representative type of the art at
Una sge when everything that contained
the ,ightest semblance to classicism
was fashionable. As work of art it is
mvs liable as showing the growth of
r1cs' design during the age following
the palmer and sterner handicraft of the
age of Louis XIV. and Louis XIV.
I lie clock weighs nearly one hun
Dire and fifty pounds, and is eighteen
lnc'es in height and fifteen inches in
or" 9th. It is made of Parian marble
and bronze, with several brass figures
and gilt mounting. This work Of art
stands on four lions paws of brass.
Tho clock proper rests beneath a mar
BILE pediment having a dial of scarce six
inches in diameter, on which two gilt.
mounted brass hands rotate. Near the
base of the dial are two smaller dials
to mark the days Of the week and
month. and also the time of tide &C.
cording to full, half, and quarter moons.
The clock-work is partially imbedded
in the marble pediment above. The
latter is an ingenious piece of artistic
workmanship. 1t is frieze-like affair,
with representations of the principal
deities of Grecian mythology.
Most interesting, however, is the
super-structure of bronze, copper, and
brass, which contains an historical scene
from the last stage of the French revo'
luton during the reign of terror. The
scene is subterranean prison, beauti
fully worked in bronze and copper.

Old GREEK.
NJ

OLD GlcEEks
At college in Central New York
there is professor of languages-an
amiable, accomplished man, too, by the
way-known to the boys as cold
Greek"
On certain occasion q learned man
came to lecture before the students on
the subject of Homer, and the above
mentioned professor introduced him to
his audience, afterward taking seat on
the platform.
The lecturer on Homer began:
"The only reason I have for introduce
ing this old Greek" interrupted by a
sudden burst Of applause by the boys,
which the gratifed lecturer took to be
enthusiasm over the Greek poet. Again
he begins:
II say there is no plausible reason for
presenting this old Greek" cheers re-
doubled, while "Old Greek" sitting on
the platform turns as red as boiled
lobster. The lecturer thinks that en-
thusiasm for Homer is trifle overdone.
Quiet is restored and he again essays:
"In introducing this old Greek"
wilder applause than ever, stamping of
feet and yells for cold Greek!"
Fortunately the lecturer, to whom the
whole affair was an embarrassing riddle,
dropped the old Greek and was able to
proceed with his lecture Texas SJt-

A MARYLAND TERRAPIN FARM.
Col Hickman and Mr. M n Gnlds

Col. Tilghman and Mr.. NJ. 7. Colds
borough are largely engaged in the
propagation of terrapin, and have about
5000 confined in pond, where they
are fed and prepared for market. The
terrapin are caught by the fishermen
and sold to Messrs. Tilghman and Colds
borough. In winter they lie dormant,
and do not eat at all, but in summer
time they seem to have ravenous APP
petites. The principal food given them
is hard crabs, and it takes about 500 to
600 crabs day to feed them. The crabs
are put into large hopper alive and
are hacked to pieces in passing through
the machinery. They are then thrown
into the pond for the terrapin, which
are so eager to get at their food that
they climb up over the backs of each
other. They have learned to know what
the noise of the hacking machine means,
and as soon as it commences to run they
began to gather around and show signs
of impotence until their food is given
them. The terrapin become tame, and
any one can walk down to the edge of
the pond and pick them up at will. In
winter they imbed themselves in the
mud and sleep away their time until
spring. During such mild weather as
has prevailed in this latitude this winter
they come up to the top of the mud, SO
that their backs may be seen, and ap-
pear to be in half comatose state.
Col. Tilghman says you can put terrapin
in close box and shut the lid, and they
will live there all winter without drop
of water, Notwithstanding their lives
are generally spent in the water. A
terrapin put in barrel and nearly COW
cred over with old bags or some like
material will keep fat all winter. When
small terrapin are put in the pond they
sink to the bottom or hide themselves
somewhere, and no more is seen Of
them until they are full fedged terrapin
ready to get in astew.-Baltimore San.
