STORAGE OF LIFE.

Various Ways in which Mon and women
Waste Years of Their Existence.
Within each ton OF coal was stored,
long before the creation Of man, def
mite amount Of heat, which. by the
chemical process OF combustion, may
be made available for mans use. A
barrel Of wheat contains fixed amount
Of food. Electricity can now be stored,
and bought and sold in measured guam
tity.
Each person has definite amount Of
stored life, normally equal to about one
hundred years; but, in most cases. our
ancestors have squandered much that
should have come to us, and we our
selves waste not little that we have
actually inherited.
This wasting of our store of life is as
serious thing as 1t is common. 1t
may be done thoughtlessly or ignorant
ly, but the waste is just as irretrieva-
BILE. Tens Of thousands of children die
annually, and as many more survive
with a sadly-wasted vitality, simply
because their mothers do not exercise
enough care in the matter OF food,
pure air and sunshine.
Our schools waste this store by
drawing too largely on tho brain and
nerves Of their pupils through the
competitive systems, the worry of pub.
lie examinations; through exactine
the same tasks Of the bright and of the
dull, and through lack Of adequate
and persistent attention to the sanitary
condition Of the school-rooms.
Some parents allow their children tc
waste their supply Of nervous force by
the incessant reading Of sensational
books, or by frequent attendance at ex
citing evening parties, and some by
not insisting on regular and sufficient
sleep.
Women waste it by overwork ant
worry In their homes, and it is very
rapid waste. Gay young ladies ant
fast young men waste it at a fearfu
rate in their rounds Of pleasure. Only
next is the waste Of high-living, con
joined with excessive devotion to bust
ness.
OF all the professions. the medical
wastes the life-stoce most rapidly BY
irregular and broken sleep, night ex
posure and the constant drain on the
sympathies and the nervous system
1t seems pity that those whose grea
work is to save and prolong the life o
others should have to do it at the ex
pense Of thoir own.-Youth's Com
| panion.

Pathways in Tropical Africa.

Prof. Drummond's recently pub
lished book on Tropical Africa shows
that though travelling there is easy, it
is slow; and that. therefore, Mr.. STAN
ley's friends need not despair Of the
gallant explorers safety. Says the
Professor: "Probably no country in
the world, civilized or uncivilized, is
better supplied with paths than this
unmapped continent. Every village is
connected with some other village,
every tribe with the next tribe, every
State with its neighbor. and, therefore,
with all the rest. The explorers busi-
ness is simply to select from this net
work of tracks, keep general direc-
tion, and hold on his way. Let him be-
gin at Zanzibar. plant his foot OF
native footpath, and set his foot .
wards Tanganyika In eight months
no will be there. *"~ The native
tracks which ! have just described are
the same in character all over Africa.
They are veritable footpaths. never a
foot in breadth. beaten as hard as
adamsnt and rutted beneath the level
Of the forest bed nv centuries Of native
traffic.

Jenkinson Wipedunks would not

Felisty McGinnis had answered ''yes"
in voice as soft and gentle as the
sigh OF Music in dreamless sleep or
the murmuring wall OF caressing
breeze from lethean waters soothingly
tanning the whiskers of Father Time.
"Felisty," he exclaimed rapturously,
rs his left hand and arm disappeared
from sight with rapid yet sneaking
motion toward the back of the sofa on
which they sat, and the fingers Of his
right hand appeared to be feeling for
something in his vest pocket, 'you
have made me the happiest man in the
world"
The timid upturned glance of her
liquid dark eyes and the warm blush
that overspread the happy face of the
lovely girl replied more eloquently
than words could have done.
"And you will forgive my presump-
tion, darling" he continued. ''if in an
ticipation Of your answer have vent
ured to provide myself with-with-a

Jenkinson paused In some apparent
excitement, and his finger and thumb
nervously explored his vest pocket
without seeming to find any thing.
''I-I must have lost It'll" he gasped.
'Felisty, it was ring! Ha! Perhaps
1t is In some other pocket"
Rising to his feet he thrust tremb-
ling hand into his trousers pocket.
There was hole in that pocket.
"Jenkinson," said Felisty, as she
noted with concern his ghastly face,
on which the light Of q desperate re.
solve was breaking, don't grieve over

UNCLE SANS MAIL

II Tho Equipment of tho New York Chicago
II Fast-NIail Train.
The train, as it leav es New York, is
made mp Of five GERS which are fol-
lowed by express and baggage cars and
one passenger coach. The car next to
the engine is devoted entirely to letter
mail, and the four following it to pa
pers and packages The letter car is
fifty feet in length. while those for the
newspaper mail are ten feet longer.
The platforms are inclosed = by
swinging doors. which when
opened afford protected passage
between the cars. This arrange
ment no doubt suggested thes modern
improvement now known as the vesti-
bule train. The letter car is provided
with Email catcher" which is placed
at small door through which mail
pouches are switched from convenient
ly placed posts at wayside stations
where stops are not made. Each car
is divided into three sections, all fitted
up alike with conveniences for the
service to be performed. The letter
car, however, is somewhat differently
arranged from the others. to meet the
requirements of that particular branch
OF the work.
There have been received in this car
before 1t moves out OF the Grand
Central station between one thousand
and fifteen hundred packages Of letters,
and In addition forty or fifty sacks OF
Dakota and Montana papers. To
handle this mass of correspondence
there are six men in addition to the
chief clerk or superintendent This
official is not assigned to any par
ticular duty, but he supervises the
general work and lends aid where 1t
IL most required. The second clerk
handles letters for Ohio, Dakota and
Montana; the third clerk takes charge
OF those for New York State; the
fourth, Illinois; the fifth opens all
pouches labeled '.New York and Chi
cago Railway Post-ofiice," distributes
their contents. and afterwards works
ON Dakota and Montana papers; the
sixth. Michigan State letters, and the
seventh, California letter mail. The
salaries Of these men intrusted with 80
much responsibility; and of whom 60
much Is expected. range from 5000
per. rannum for the lowest grade to
el.300 per annum for the superintend.

orange growers in the past have fully
shown the futility and unproitableness'
ofsingle-handed operations. Facts with
us have fully shown that this single-hand
ed independence is FOOLS paradise, and
we think that we have enjoyed this para
disc long enough. Now, the watchword
is Change" Let us do like others do;
let us organize and combine our forces
until they become great enough to resist
the forces combined against us.
The first thing to be done is to arouse
men to think and to form resolution
that they will organize, and inform them
that such a movement is on foot, calling
for their action now Then inform what
specific movements they, as individuals,
can make to start this ball, so as to be
in concert with the others. Educate them
as fast as possible in the working princi-
pies of cooperative enterprises, and in
parliamentary rules for,working delibera-
tive bodies, SO that when they come to-
gether in a meeting they will know how
to act, what to say and what to propose
To this end we invoke the aid of the
press, the power of which we fully recog-
nize. Let the newspapers of the State in
stitute cooperative column, and fill it
with the best cooperative literature they
can get. Publish first and let stand
awhile a synopsis of parliamentary rules.
We want the people to deliberate on the
subject and they must have these rules
We want every man in the State who is
competent to write an instructive or en-
couraging article on the subject, to do so,
and give it to his paper. We want to in
fuse cooperation into every newspaper,
every public meeting and every private
meeting OF neighbors, until it shall be-
come ain actuating principle in the breast
of every man. If we do this then our or
ganizatiOn will be complete:
Now for the preliminary steps. We pro-
pose that any man, in any yneighborhood,
who feels interest enough in this enter
prise to work for it, may call a meeting
of his neighborhood for it's consideration
and propose the formation of primary
orange growers association, and if ten
men shall sign their names for member
ship it shall be sufficient number to or
ganize, by electing a primary chairman
and secretary.
In the meantime let the subject be writ
ten up through the papers by those who
feel disposed to take part as to the expe-
diency of holding primary convention,
composed of delegates, one from each as
soon as twenty primary organizations
are reported for publication. The pur-
pose OF such primary convention would
be to arrange preliminaries for State
convention; to decide what number of
primaries shall be formed and reported
before the State convention shall be
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-04-17

called; to define the qualifications of del
egates and what number from each pri-
mary and the place of meeting for the
State convention. Then let each primary
elect it's delegates, instructing them to
assist in the formation of State associ-
alton.
The State association will, while in ses-
sion, make it's declaration of purposes
and frame it's constitution and bylaws,
and also frame aform OF constitution and
bylaws for the branch associations, rec
Ommending the same for their adoption,
subject to such amendments as they see
fit to make not in confict.with the State
constitution
Then it will be in order for the branch
associations to permanently organize by
electing officers, swearing them in, and
bonding those who are to handle any
money belonging to either the association
or to individual members which may come
through their hands in the transaction
of association business When this is
done, the newly organized branch will re-
port to the secretary of the State associ-
alton for enrolment and receive from him
their number, which will entitle them to
all the benefits which the organization
can confer. This brings us to the point
where the institution is fully organized
and chartered to do business. Space will
not permit me tofollowit in it's workings
only to say that all treasurers, secreta-
ries, cashiers, or any other employees who
may handle money received in the trans
action of the business of the association,
shall be sufficiently bonded to make the
orange shipper safe. This.will be some
thing better than they have been doing.
They have been shipping their fruit off,
consigning it to distant parties, who
might give them something for it or not,
just as they please.
Now, what want most to say is, that
in building up this organization. wewant
it to be movement of the people, by the
people for the people. We want to be
able to show, from an exposition of it's
process of formation, that all the motives
for it's formation and for it's working ex-
ist within itself; and that it is a consol-
dated, cooperative body sufficiently COM
pact and sufficiently ponderous to with
stand the rack of collision with other OF
posing bodies of like character
And we think that if something like the
foregoing method be followed in the
building up of this thing, it will be suffi-
cient to remove all distrust of it's verify
and singleness of purposein it's devotion
to the interests of it's members. This dis
trust is the hardest thing we have to
overcome.
COOPERATIVE SUGGESTIONS
The following paper was prepared by
request and read before the association:

Orange Growers Association ofPierson

Orange Growers Association of Pierson
THE ORGANIZATION OF AN ASSOCIATION
THAT WILL BENEFIT THE ORANGE GROW
ERs-AN ADDRESS, ETC. .ti
The stirring people of Pierson, in this
(Volusia) county, have, SO to speak,
taken their salvation in their own hands
and will not he dependent upon "trusts"
and organizations of capitalists, but have
organized themselves. The organization
is in it's embryonic form, but as it's good
points and advantages become known, it
will spread itself, and there will be.local
branches in every section of the State.
We assure the members of the association
that they shall have the earnest co-opera-
tion and sympathy Of the AGRICULTURE
IsT. Some future day we will have some
thing more to say concerning the organ
ization.
At a meeting of the association held
last week Mr.. III. 2. Young delivered the
following address, which we commend to
the earnest consideration of those inter-
ested-the orange growers. Mr.. Young
said
The organization of a State associa-
tion necessarily includes, from our pres
ent standpoint, the formation Of the sub
or local divisions of the same. In order
to make this address the most useful we
perceive that it should enter into the de-
tails of the work necessary to be done,
from where we now stand, step by step,
until the organization is fully completed.
To make this organization effective we
are confronted with the fact that it must
be almost, if not quite, universal among
the orange growers Such an undertak-
ing seems to require Herculean powers.
The fascinating idea and the inherited
predisposition of the farmer to paddle his
own canoe is hard to overcome. In pur-
suing his avocation he draws his subsist-
ence direct from the storehouse OF nature,
by the exertion of his own physical and
mental power. This condition of inde-
pendence fosters q pride to manage his
own business This method of business
and the independence would bevery salts
factory if all other men were doing the
same way. But in this nineteenth cent
ury the axiom that sin union there is
strength" is being brought to the front,
and applied in business matters as well
as to governments. Ii each isolated>man
had no power to contend with but other
isolated men, he would have an equal
chance with all others to win his way; but
such is no longer the case. Combinations
of men and money are now cooperating
to form powers, against which no one
man can hope to cope successfully
And now the fact is before us that we
must fight money with money We must
fight combination with combination.
The business methods practiced by the
