A YACHT CLUB.
The Beautiful Lakes of the Hal.
lahnssee Country Should be
Dotted Ger with Pleasure


Boats.
The tourist season will soon be in full
blast Travel to the Tallahassee Country
will be larger than ever this winter and we
should begin at once to prepare for the en-
tertainment and pleasure of our expected
guests.
The beautiful lakes of the Tallahassee
Country are admired and often visited by
all who spend the winter here. 1t is quite
pleasant to drive out and gaze upon the
liquid blue bosom of Lake Jackson, the
picturesqueness of Lake Hall, the lovely
white sand beach of Lake Bradford and the
graceful. undulating swells of Lake Lafay-
ette but how much more pleasant ii would
be if neatly furnished steam or sail yacht
were placed in Lake Jackson for the &C
cOmmodation OF pleasure parties; if Lakes
Hail, Lafayette and Bradford were dotted
with canopy covered row boats; in other
words, if Tallahassee. only had a Yacht
Club.
Yacht Club or Pleasure Boat Stock Com
pany?
Perhaps the better and quicker way TO
supply this want would be to organize a
stock company.
Our hotels would take stock, our bust
ness men would take stock, our pleasure
lovers would take stock, and it -"ould take
only short while in this way to raise
sufficient money to purchase say Naptha
or Shipman Yacht for Lake Jackson and a
half dozen row boats for Lakes Jackson
and Hall each, and perhaps two or three
nice little sail boats for Lake Jackson
This would do for start. Fit up neat
boat house at each Of these two lakes and
hire the sail and row boats out at so much
per hour. The yacht could take quite a
party of pleasure seekers all around the
lake, which, by the way, would be about
thirty miles, at so much per passenger for
the trip Every day the guests of the differ
ent hotels and private boarding houses
would go To either one or the other Of the
lakes, and wereallv believe that this would
prove quite profitable investment, sum-
mer as well as winter, for our home folks
would patronize the boats during the plt
mic season.
Let's make beginning this winter. |
we cannot do any better to start with, let's
put two or three neat little canopy covered
row boats ON Lake Hall.
This pleasure boat scheme would bt
quite an attractive feature for our hote
proprietors to work up. They could af
ford to subscribe literally toward making il
a success, for it would increase their patron
age.
Now is the time to begin. Who will
take charge of the matter and canvass the
city to see how many will take stock and
to what amount?

ODD FELLOWS, HOME.
JacksOnvllle,s Plan Endorsed by tho
Sovereign Grand Lodge.

The October number of the Odd Fellows
Companion. published at Columbus, Ohio
contains the following stirring appeal to
Odd Fellows to aid in carrying out the plan
of establishing an Odd Fellows Home at
Jacksonville:
One of the very important matters
brought to the attention of the Sovereign
Lodge, was the Memorial of the Board OF
Trustees for the building OF the Odd Eel
lows Home, at Jacksonville, Florida"
The brethren at jacksonville have nobly
responded to the calls of the Order in the
past by relieving and, caring for sick Broth
ers from all over the land. Many afflicted
with pulmonary and rheumatic diseases
have sought for health in "the Land of
Flowers" and thousands have found it
there. jacksonville, with its sea breeZes
and equable climate, has been the principal
Mecca towards which hundreds have trav-
eled, and arriving there, many of them de-
pendent alone fpon the weekly benefits
hey have found their means inadequate,
for the purchase of proper food and atten-
aid and attention from the Brethren there.
Florida lodge, No. l, with only thirty
eight members. has often had as many sick
10 care tor. The burden has been 60 great
that hundreds have withdrawn from the
Order and dsfellowshiped themselves be-
causet they were unable to maintain the nee
essary expense fearing for their Brother
Odd Fellows. These have been left to the
care ofthe few noble men who maintain
their character as Odd Fell ows at an extra
ordinary expense of time and money. The
now propose to their Brethren throughout
the land TO erect Home where all who
come within their care may be lodged,
boarded and nursed at SO small an expense
that their weekly banefits will be amply
sufficient for the pursose. They have
donated to the Home a lot for which
they have refused $4,000 The Grand
Lodge OF the State has nobly come to theiI
aid and gladly would the Grand Lodge
and Florida Lodge No build and equip
the Home, were they able to do so. What
they ask is the insignificant sum of tfct
cents from each odd Felloao in the land with
which to build, equip and maintain such a
Home. The Sovereign Lodge has endorsed
their plan, and bids them godspeed. Surely
every Odd Fellow in the universe can dc
no less, backed by the contribution Of hi:
mite. Florida Lodge No. 1, has expended
out Of its own funds in supplying and re
leving sick and suffering brethren, ID aid
ing some to return home, in transporting
home or burying brothers who have dice
there, as donations, about $4,000. They
are willing to do more and to continue tt
extend the open hand of charity TO s
brother in distress. But the relieved art
our Brothers, 100, and we cannot do les
than to aid them in their work.

Improved Butter Making.
Bremen (Ia.) Republican.

oIcincI Il q IcpuDuCdu.
There is increased interest in butter-mak-
ing and we have, perhaps. more questions
concerning IL than upon any other subject.
Of course, every farmers wife knows how
to make butter, and butter that is just as
good as any, tOo;". but obstinate buyers
will not pay top prices for it. Again, there
are different ways of making it, and some
are easier than Others, and it is worth
while to learn the simplest, quickest and
sprest way, especially where there are only
the limited farm consumers.
. We will take for granted the milk is set
in deep cans. The cream must be 'ripened""
slightly acid-and no fresh cream should
be added within twelve hours of churning,
as it will waste.
Churn at about go by the thermometer, 81
to 65 will do in winter.
Use a barrel or rectangular churn, with
out any ''inside fxings."
Stop when the butter is in ~granules like
shot or kernels of wheat. Draw off the
buttermilk from beneath. Fill the churn
with cold we'll water, fill nearly to the
brIm. Revolve the churn a few times. Let
it stand for the butter granules to harden.
In winter a few minutes is sufficient; In hot
weather let it stand till the butter is firm
if it takes half an hour. Draw. off the
water and add the salt, %sprinkling one-
third or more ON top, then tip the churn to
one side and sprinkle One-half the re-
mainder, then to the other side and add the
rest.
Turn the churn slowly and gently q few
times so as to thoroughly mix in the salt,
but not gather the butter into Jumps.
Let 1T stand ten minutes, ut may stand an
hour or more) then revOlve the churn till
the butter gathers in a mass.
Take outthe butter Immediately and pack
at once. That is all.
The advantage of this method is that the
butter is not exposed to the air and conse-
quently is not affected by it. When butter
is taken out to be sailed and left twenty
four hours, more or less, for the salt to
"set," then worked over again with a but
ter-wOrker, there are numerous openings
for spelling the butter in unfavorable
weather, and great care is necessary and
much trouble and anxiety are saved by the
plan outlined above. This is known as
1.-THE Improved Method" Try iton a churn-
ing for your own use."

The stock market during most Of the two
hours session was very active to-day, and while
tie temper of the room was generally bullish
and the buying was of a decidedly good char
acter, the opposition was from the operations Of
the local and the Chicago "bears," with realiz-
ing of stocks bought earlier in the week, and tho

while a general declining tendency was appar-
ent. The fluctuations were confined to the small.
est fractions, however, in all but a few special
ties. The principal interest in the speculation
was still centered in AtchisOn, Missouri Pacific,
the grangers and Reading, and toward IL
O'Clock, Atchison, Burlington and Missouri Pa
cific developed marked animation and strength,
and the highest prices of the week generally
were reached, though the improvement In no
case was for more than a point. The issue of the
bank statement checked the buying and induced
further sales for both sides OF the account, and
In the last few minutes of the session everything
moved OF, some stocks losing all the early gains.
The three leaders, however, were well main
tanned, but the close was active and heavy to

Railroad bonds were also active this morning,
sales of all issues reaching 1875 600, and they

the entire session. Fluctuations were confined
within Ia lac range, and they did not vary much
from yesterday. Oats were fairly active,
stronger and higher. May was the favorite, and
advanced lac early on good buying by several
large traders-chiefy to cover shorts" Offer
ings were liberal on the advance, and after the
urgent buyers had been filed up an easier
feeling prevailed, and the advance was
lost. Later in the session quietness pre-
vailed, the closing sales being at
a shade below those Of yesterday.
Very little interest was manifested In hog prod
ucts and trading was light. Offerings were
small and the demand from all sources limited.
Trading was chiefly in mess pork, but IN other
articles nothing of consequence was doing, and
changes in prices were slight. There was a fair
trade for mess pork at irregular prices. Open
ing sales were made at sc adv ance, but a weak

of 17l2 az was submitted to. Toward the
close prices improved slightly, but trading was
small. The leading futures ranged as follows:
