ADAINTY FLORIDA FRUIT,

Something About the Rose Apple, Which In
Useful ms Well ms Ornamental.
Orlando (Fla.) Times
One of the daintiest of all the dainty fruits
that grow under the Florida sun is the rose
apple, or jambosade, or as the botanist call it.,
Eugenia jambos. A rose apple tree. full of
the interesting fruit, Is now growing in the
grounds of L. P. Westcott, OF this city. The
foliage Is small. pointed and shining and quite
beautiful The fruit looks like small. oblong
puaya. creamy white, and with perfect odor
Of A full blown rose. The flesh consists only of
a thin, crisp shell, inside of which the large
brown seed lies loose.
The favor is sweet, and the strong rose odor
ia ali through it. 1t is altogether too light and
airy for eating raw, but makes a jelly that is
unsurpassed for delicacy Of flavor. The rose
apple is quite tropical. and will not stand any
more cold than a guava, but everybody ought
to have at least one tree as an ornament and
curiosity,

A REMARKABLY QUEER VERDICT.
Setting n Prisoner Free TO Save the County
His Board.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Speaking of the sometimes queer verdicts
rendered by jury, recalls a case was engaged
in once at Louisiana, Mo. Two men, employer
and employe, had quarreled about a matter of
wages. Shortly after and while the employer
was engaged in conversation with two gentle
men, the employe stole up behind his employer
and plunged knife into his neck, almost cut
ting it half in two 1t was a marvel how the
maa survived the ugly thrust. He would not
have done so, perhaps, but for the fact that one
of the men with whom he was conversing was a
physician. The physician at once took the un-
fortunate man in charge, stopped the flow of
blood and got him properly bandaged.
Six months later he was entirely recovered,
and the trial of his assailant began. All the
material facts were proven conclusively. There
did not seem to be any palliating circumstances
whatever. The jury retired, and shortly re-
turned with verdict authorizing fine of 500.
Curious to know by what process of reasoning
they reached SO unusual a verdict, accosted
one of the jurors. "Well." said he. IF we sent
him to the penitentiary the county would have
to support his family, and if we sent him to Jail
it would be the same, neither of which the tax
payers would like. SO we thought the best thing
to do was to fine him Sl00"

HE DESERVED THE BLOW.

An UnGallant Husband Quickly siIenced BY

Scottish Americana
M'Taggart received another paper from
America the other day. and as soon as Kirsty
was settled down to his knitting. he proceeded,
according to custom. to read choice extracts
therefrom for her special benefit.
"Ehi bit here's a curious thing" he said:
"juist hear to this: "A woman living at Winnie

He got no further. Indignation lent strength
to an outraged wife's arm, and Sandy slept

selection of sticking plaster

Cocoa (Fla. Spirit.1
During the visit to the home Of a most esti-
mable lady living on Indian river, this editor
was told of discovery that had been made
which may prove boon to sufferers from lung
or bronchial troubles. This lady having heard
that there was a peculiar virtue in pillow
made from pine straw, and having none of that
material at hand, made one from soft, fine pine
shavings, and had the pleasure Of noting i'm
mediate benefit. Soon all the members OF the
household had pine shavings pillows, and it was
noticed that all coughs, asthmatic or bronchial
troubles abated at once after sleeping few
nights on these pillows.
An invalid suffering from lung trouble de-
rived much benefit from sleeping upon a mat
tress made from pine shavings. The material
is cheap, and makes a very pleasant and COM
Portable mattress, the odor of the pine per-
meating the entire room and absorbing or dis
pelling all unpleasant and Objectionable odors.

woodlawn Farmers Club.

[Reported for the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
By special invitation the January meeting
of the Woodlawn Farmers Club wss held at
"Holliu Hail." the residence of Mrs. Thomp.
son, President n. W. Peraon in the chair.
In the absence of the secretery, J. ". Re-
berts was appointed secretary for the day.
The reading of the minutes of the last meet
ing called forth quite discussion in regard
to ensilage. 1t seemed to be the conclusion
of many that it was not necessary TO weight
so heavily ss WAS done at first and that it
was better TO let the corn get ripper than was
the custom formerly.
A letter from an Alexandria commission
merchant to the club was then read in re
letion TO The report that some Of the number
had discontinued the use Of cotton seed
meal, and attrbutipg the reported abandon
ment to the fact that most Of the cotton
seed meal sold here now is the coerser article
which he claims is not SC Gigtsiibe, though
lower priced, as the fine meal which was
universally used in ths region formerly.
This letter wss discussed st length and
while some present said they had discon-
tinued the use OF the meal for time,
thinking it had produced pbortion and
other troubles 10 their herds, they
had since changed their view aud were
now using it. The conclusion in regard to
the difIererce between the coarse end the
fine appeared to be that If fed mixed with
other feeds, moistened aCG allowed to swell,
the results were the same and That cotton
seed meal should never be fed IL any other
way to get the best results.
The programme Of the farmers conVen-
tion to be held at Paff's Hall, 1876 KiGE street,
on FEBRUARY 18th, was presented 10 the club
by the president OF that body for It's consid-
GRAFTON and advice. This mighty matter
engaged The attention OF he club until sup
per was announced.
After the necessary recass committee Of
three members, consisting of VIM. Hunter,
john Ballenger and COuFtland Lukens was
appointed to prepare suitable resolutions in
regard to the loss the club had sustained iE
the death of the late ID. 2. Smith. The
committee retired, and on their return pre-
sented the following resolutions, which were
read, and the secretary was ordered to pre-
sent a copy TO the widow Of the deceased:
SIN the death Of D. P. Smith the club has
sustained the loss of another OF its Oldest
members He was man who was indus
trious in his habits and highly respected by
all as a kind and sympathetic friend and
neighbor, and will be greatly missed IN the
community in which he lived. We offer
this brief tribute of respect to his estimable
character, and would recommend that a
copy be furnished his widow by our secre-
tary."
The committee or grasses not being ready
to report at this time, they were allowed
until next meeting to prepare their report.
The club having no member at the place of
meeting there was no critical committee to
report.
The next meeting OF The club will be held
at the residence of Courtland Lukens Feb
ruary 9th. Critical committee-A W. Har'
rison, Frank Wilkinson and Taylor Blunt.

FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS OF CHICAGO
The foreign population of Chicago at this
time is less than so per cent. of the total
population. The proportion of the foreign
population of Chicago is actually less than
that of most of the large Western cities, and
probably less than that of New York city.
Tt is less than that of ST. Louis, than that OF
Kansas City, than that probably of Gin.
cinnati, and great deal less than that Of
Milwaukee ard many smaller cities of the
Northwest. The prevalent Iowa notion
mentioned by the gentleman of OttumWa is
erroneous. Another erroneous notion con-
oernirg the foreign population of Chicago
which prevails in some parts of the country
makes it turbulent and dangerous social
factor. This also is erroneous The bul k
of the foreign section Of this population ia
composed OF industrious, hard working, or
derly and law. abiding people. The e1cep
tions to this rule are mainly among the Po-
lacks, Czechs, (Bohemians) and teculiar
class of German fanatics and cranks, all
composing the body called socia! anarchists.
These revolutionary half-lunatics, half-idi-
OTIS, who profess to be waging war against
society, are almost wholly of the three na'
tionalities named, but they ale an insignih
cant part of them and find no more sympa-
thy among their respectable countrymen
than among respectable Americans.-Chica
