JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 1.-THE
weather has been steadily moleratIng
today. Reports from all parts of
Florida indicate that the cold weather
of Sunday and Monday did considerable
damage. The Times Union published
reports from about twenty-five points
in the state.
The mercury was the lowest at
Gainesyille-22 above zero. Very lit
tie damage was done to orange trees or
blossoms, the long continued drought
having left tender shrubs and branches
almost entirely free from sap, so there
was no moisture to freeze. Peach and
fig trees have been injured greatly and
there will be n short crop.
The greatest damage was to truck
gardens, which in some localities were
destroyed entirely. In many instances,
however. seed will be planted and good
crops grown. The ice formed III Tampa
and there was slight snow at Fernau-
dina. On the Whole. however, the stu
atiGn is not discouraging.

Profitable Ecg Hunting.

A case in some respects similar to
that OF the famous man who jumped
into a bramble bush is reported from
Kennebunk. Mrs. A. T. Wood, lady
who had been lame several years, went
tothe barn loft to gathersome eggs and
in sliding down upon the hay, with
her lame limb, hearing something
crack she felt she had broken some
bone. She called to her husband for
help and when he lifted her up she
found she could walk better than be-
fore. The ligaments which had adj
hered to each other by non use were
broken apart, improving her lameness.
