its helpless victim and she was Immediately
borne beyond the realms Of terrestrial
things.

foot which, from Its aristocratic instep,
could have belonged to none other than one
| OF Aragon's or Castilian's fair maids 1t is
needless to let imagination loose on this
symmetrical, dainty portion of fair woman's
| anatomy, or we could a tale unfold whose
dlaphanous texture would put to blush

| tive romancng. IL was found In the calca-
reous deposits in Mr.. Agnew's lime quarries

Tarpon Trwth: Conductor Williams keeps
an eye peeled for the alligators along the
line. Approaching Curlew creek the other
morning, he remarked: Now, when we
cross the creek just notice the point of bank
| below the water oak and you will see my
| biggest gator. Sure enough, there he lay
in the morning sunlight, a monster of his
kind. A little farther along smaller
| gator disappeared in ditch near the track,
aud as the train was passing reappeared
and made frantic efforts to reach the top of
the water" Capt. Williams says the train
causes the earth to vibrate so that the ALI
| gators will not stay at the bottom.
| At st. Augustine some time Tuesday
night burglars entered the clothing estab-
| lishment of B. Joseph and appropriated TO
| their own use many of the goods and chat
tells of that gentleman. Mr.. Joseph's store
| sn I..G.. l. ~
| some time ago was robbed of 5000 worth of
| jewelry, cutlery and stationery. In fact,
the last robbery is bounded on the other
| side by the store of the jeweler, Mr.. SulZ-
| ner who, a few weeks ago, was robbed of
| 5000 in diamonds The thieves gained
access to the store of Mr.. Joseph by prizing
off a section of the partition of an annex in
| the rear portion of the store used as the
tailoring department Once inside they
| stole some jewelry, many suits of clothes,
| collars, overcoats cuffs, handkerchiefs ant
shirtS-a grab worth fully $500.
| The American Agriculturist says that
| the sizes of crates used for packing vegeta-
bles in Florida are very unsatisfactory to
| the dealers who buy them in New York,
because they are not made to contain any
even standard measure. 1t says they should
be made to hold full, rounded half-bushel
| or bushel, such as a dealer must give to his
customers. For such crates it gives the fol-
lowing dimensions, which are slightly
| larger than the usual Florida crates: For
| a half-bushel crate, two ends and one mid
die piece 5xl434 thick, and stats 2211s inches
| long. For bushsl crate, two ends and one
middle piece 10x1494 thick, Stats 2215. For
a barrel crate, two ends and one middle
piece 12x20 and inch thick, and Stats 81
| inches long. Florida cannot afford the
| reputation Of giving ant measure, and we
hope full measure crates may soon be uni
versally adopted.
