Go to DeLand and Lake Helen, Flor
ida, the Most Delightful Places
in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN?

We reply, because they not only two OF the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
versally conceded to be among the healthiest
places in the Union.
DeLand, in Volusia county, islocated on the j..
T. & K. w. Ry, about 100 miles south of Jackson
vile in one of the best orange growing sections
of the State. 1t occupies the middle of a large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes The soil is well
suited to fruit and vegetable raising, and the
ange plantations are peculiarly thrifty indeed,
the town presents the appearance OF a great villa
situated in the midst of a luxurious orange grove
Lake Helen is five miles from De1and. $50 -.ts
AS AN EDUCA TIONAL CENTRE,
DeLand offers rare inducements to parents who
desire the education of their children to be carried
forward while they are temporarily away from
their Northern homes, who are looking for
some good institution in which to place them per-
manently until their education is completed De-
Land has an Academy, which is in reality Col
lege for both sexes inferior to none i'll the ecOuntry
in character, with experienced and successful edu
Gators at it's head.
IMPRESSIONS OF DELAND.
My impressions of DeLand, on viewing it from
the balcony of the Parceland HOTEL was thatit
of the prettiest cities in Florida. My con-
viction, as / viewed it from the balcony on the
third story of the University building, was that it
was without exception the prettiest in Florida.
Most Florida cities convey the impression under q
birds-eye view that, like Topsy, 'they just
growed." DeLand shows every indication of hav-
ing been carefully planned, and developed in ac-
cordance with preconceived design. 1t is q city
OF ample spaces, with park-like stretches OF the
original pine forest and vast OF orange
grove within the city limits The Parceland Hotel
has orange grove one side and acre of
lofty, heaven-kiSSing pines on the other The Car
rollton is the Boulevard almost in the geo
graphical centre of the town, and the Putnam
House and the Floral Grove Hotel are in the very
midst of empowering orange trees. So it is with
private residences Most of them areeither in the
midst of orange groves, or are situated on one
side of the lot, with orange trees filing the remain
der. From any commanding point the city looks
like vast orange plantation with clustering &
town in the centre, and houses dotted here and
there amid the verduous foliage.-C. Fl. Jones, in
letter February, 1888, in Times-Union.

Hints on Root Grating.

Root grating is a simple operation,
which any one may learn to perform.
The mode practiced by nurserymen for
grating apple stocks. and known as
whip grating. consists mainly in fitting
the two parts so closely together as to
insure the union of the inner bark of
graft and stock. The two parts separate
and united are shown in Fig. of the
cut here reproduced from Orchard and

The Devons as Beef and Dairy Cattle.
The dalryman who looks to the pro-
duction of beef in connection with but
ter dairying, and who is on rough, hilly
pasturage or thin soil, will hardly fail
to give some consideration to the merits
5 of the Devon cattle. In the dairy dis
tricts of the south of England they are
highly esteemed and largely used for the
dairy. 1t is characteristic of the Devons
that they thrive better on poor and thin
soils than the Shorthorns. Their milk is
of rich quality, making more butter in
proportion to quantity than that of other
breeds excepting the Aldelney. They
have well shaped udders and teats, are
docile, easily MIXED and not unfre-
quently show remarkable yields, But it
is as beef animal that the Devon holds
pre-eminence. 1t natures early, we'll

THE HOLIDAY EDITION.

The LIGHT claims its share OF the
credit i'm the way of free advertising
of the late fair, but makes no claim
upon the business public on this score
in calling attention to its Holiday
| Edition. We will issue during the
holidays a splendid edition of the
| LIGHT devoted to the business inter-
ests of our city. The printing will be
done in frst-class style and the paper
used will be the best grade of news.
Our holiday editions have always
proven to be superior in style and APP
pearance and in the character of read
ing matter. We have already secured
from enterprising business firms large
orders for copies and will issue from
$1,000 to 10000. The circulation
of the large special edition is al
ready assured, and we offer the
business men of our city a
medium through which they can
make known to the public far be-
yoDd our city their specialties. The
Holiday edition has grown to be
an institution; our enterprising
merchants and business men re-
gard it as a requisite to mir
ror to the people their enterprise.
The holidays bring the tide of bust
ness to its brightest mark, and the
liberal advertiser receives his reward
many times over. We shall endeavor
to bring to the foreground the full
growth of our city and to prOgnosti-
cate its future prosperity. We will
sum up the past year and draw
the bright hope of the future from its
hiding place, SO that not only may the
happy resident of San Antonio take
courage, but the distant reader will
be consumed with the desire to come
and enjoy with us its glorious oppor-
tunities.

To Look After Italian Catholics.
Special by Telegraph to the Times.S
New York, November 23.-Mgr.
Scalabrini, bishop of Piacenza, Italy
has been appointed in Rome as vicar
apostolic for the Italians in the
United States. This appointment
grows out of some trouble between
various American bishops and inde-
pendent italian missionaries, who
came to the country apparently with
out proper credentials, and who
were not allowed to exercise their
priestly functions. In this city there
has been no opposition to the italian
missions, and in one year the priests
have purchased two large buildings
here. A community of italian sisters
have been formed, and large school
estaElis he'd by them is in a four
ishing condition. The priests live in
Lne community, and receive no sal
aries, the rich missions helping the
poor ones. Mgr. Scalabrni is ex-
pected to arrive here next spring.
He will make brief tour Of inspec-
ton, and the return to Rolhe to re-
ceive cardinals hat. The political
activity of the clergy has been a
curse and not blessing to the hui
man race. That is the lesson of his

SHOES AND CHARACTER.
A Persons Disposition Learned from the
Way He Walks.

Way He Walks.
A certain shoemaker says: "Worn
shoes go ahead of the art of fortune
telling from the lines of the hand. In
your shoe, for instance, / see irresolu-
ton, changeableness, inclination to
slovenliness and occasional paroxysms of
ill-humor. Show me any persons foot
gear after two months wear and / will
describe the character of the person. If
the soles and heels are worn evenly
then the wearer is resolute, able busi-
ness man, with a clear head, a trust
worthy official, or an excellent wife and
mother.
ST the sole is worn on the outside
the wearer is inclined to adventurous,
uncertain, fitful deeds or, if woman,
to bold, self-willed capricious tricks.
The sole being worn on the inner side
shows hesitation and weakness in man
and modesty in a woman.
. "a merchant sends regularly to me
when he needs a clerk and has on my
recommendation accepted several of my
customers. He says that 'shoeology'
goes ahead of phrenology. Several
months ago stranger came into my
store to have his shoes mended. They
were worn on the outside of the soles,
while at the same time the points were
somewhat worn, but the other parts of
the shoes were almost as good as new. |
said to my wife, That fellow is no
good
"The very next day boy came from
the station house for the shoes and said
that the wearer had been arrested for
stealing. A young man who was GUS
toner of mine for years courted two girls
who also had their work done by me. |
noticed that one of the girls wore her
shoes on the outside first, while the
other one walked evenly and wore both
her shoes alike. l always liked the
young man, and as / saw that he wav-
cred between the two girls / took him
aside one day, showed him the shoes of
each girl and told him what L have re-
lated to you concerning them. He mar
ried the one who walked evenly and was
happy with her, while the other one
went to ruin st. Louis Globe-Demo-
