In Florida the material changes of the past
ten or fifteen years have been on scale pos
sible only in what was practically frontier
state. The past twenty years have virtually
witnessed the settlement of Florida anew by
a population drawn thithcr from other states.
The thrush of new citizens the building of
new towns and cities, the multiplying and
extension OF railroads, the conversion of vast
wilderness tracts from pine and hummock
lands into orange groves and farms-all this
has greatly changed the face of the country
and the state has ceased to be in many re-
spects the great shooting resort it once was
Nowhere is this more readily observed than
on some of the lines of river travel The
great abundance and accessibility of feath-
cred game encountered on the waterways
once made it possible for the cads and cock
neys-not in any remotest sense sportsmen--
who shot from the moving craft, to slaughter
foolishly, wantonly and wastefuIly thousands
of birds of plume.
As time went 10y and the fusillade was kept
up, the birds We're destroyed or scared away
until the river banks became practically bar
rem of game. Then as the new railroads
fortunately diverted the tide of travel away
from the rivers, and the haunts of the birds
were left unmolested, they multiplied, and
have in many districts become abundant.
The time has gone by when a majority of
Florida tourists are equipped with firearms
but those who are seeking legitimate sport
with game birds are still to be found in
hosts; and the tangible rewards of ones out
ing are generous Florida is today more
than ever the winter home of the sportsman

Like His Grandfather.

Many persons who never heard the word
heredity have n very just and vivid idea of
the truth which that word was invented to
convey. They know perfectly well that
physical and intellectual traits are handed
down from father to son, and from son to
grandson.

Religious Liberty In Russia.

The arbitrary measures now being adopted
by the Russian government for the complete
RussianizatiOn of the German elements in the
Baltic provinces are arOusing very strong
feeling among the Russo Germans. The most
exasperating Of these measures is perhaps
the attempt at wholesale proselytism now be-
ing made among the Lutherans by the mis-
sionary agents of the holy synod The Baltic
Lutherans resent these proselytizing missions
as more unjust and coercive than any similar
measures ever adopted against the Catholics
in Poland.
The government has made the discovery
that q very unusual number of meetings of
the Roman Catholic clergy have lately taken
place in the Polish provinces on the pretoxt
of celebrating certain saints days, which
number something like go "A year. A keen
watch is kept on the Roman Catholic clergy,
whose influence beyond the pale of their
church it is sought to restrict i'll every posi-
bic way, and, therefore, the minister of the
interior has issued orders that no religious
ceremonies in Poland, accompanied by meet
ings of the Roman Catholic clergy, shall take
place without the express authorization OF
the local authorities, and the presence at such
meetings of Russian ofIicial.-Odessa Cor

rheumatism,

PEING due to the presence OF uric
- acid in the blood, is most effeotually
cured by the use OF Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony
about two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. l then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected
complete cure, / have since had no re-
turn OF the disease. Mrs. r. Irving

tated, with no appetite, and my system

SMALL BUT WICKED.
How a Little Wretch of Boy Broke His
Sisters Heart.

How Little Wretch of Boy Broke His
Sisters Heart.
The compassion or the scorn with which
the masculine mind regards the female of
the race begins SO early in life, says the
Boston Courier that it is most difficult to
say whether it is the result of imitation or
is one of the gifts of intuition The small
boy feels himself superior 10 his little sis
ter quite without regard to whether he or
she is the more clever. He is he and she is
only she.
small five-year-old lad, in whom this
sense of masculine superiority was not
wholly lacking, was one day arrayed in his
first trousers. Standing before his sister,
coupl of years younger, he drew himself
upfor her inspection and then proceeded to
address her to this effect:
"IIittie, " he said, ''you can't never wear
trousers
He paused, apparently to let his words
take their full effect.
''Kittie," he continued, 'you can't never
have a mustache.n
he paused again and let this dreadful an
nouncement in s turn eat into his sisters
soul; then he brought out the climax with
atrlpmphant thrill in his voice more elo-
quent than any words could have been.
"Klttie, you can't never be a man no.
howw
Poor, small Kit,ie, overwhelmed by these
successive statements, of which she COM
pretended the import only as something un-
speakably dreadful, and took that from the
tone, probably, rather than from the words
looked at her brother one agonized moment
and then gave vent to her anguish in one
wild howl which brought nurse from one
direction and mamma from another Al
sight OF the audience Kitlie burst into tears
and lamentations piteous to behold, and
when the small boy was reproved for max
ing his sister cry his answer was:
"Well, just told her she'd always got to
be girl, cause l thought she'd be disap.
pointed if she got TO be five and couldu'e
have on trousers"
There seemed TO be nothing in particular
which could be said to this, and the elders
devoted themselves TO assuaging the GRIEF
Of the small girl as well as they might,
leaving the boy to strut about in his new
trousers in the full consciousness of having
done his duty to the weaker vessel.

How Little Monkey Took the Conceii
Out of 81 Prze-Fighter.
In the old st. Louis museum we had
among other attractions, a baboon called
Dick, says q writer in the New York Sun.
He was a solid chunk Of a fellow, good.
tempered and a great favorite. He had
one popularity, though, which we had to
cater to. He took short maps twice day.
and If aroused before his time he was as
ugly as sin all the rest of the day. We had
him dressed up as a little boy, and when
he time came to take his nap he crept into
an old-fashioned cradle and the fat woman
generally rocked him to sleep. That very
thing was quite draw, and plenty of peo-
pie came in solely to see the baboon rocked
of to slumber.
One day, soon after Dick had closed his
eyes, half-drunken chap entered the place
and created considerable disturbance. He
went by the name of Awful Pete and was a
hard slugger. l tried TO reason with him
and get him out, but he unfortunately
caught sight of the sleeping baboou and at
once demanded that the animal be aroused
aud put through his tricks. l sought to ex-
plain, but he wouldn't have it. saying:
81 paid to see the bab, and I'm going to
see him CT bust the b'ilerp
"But if you wake him he'll fight"
"Then I'll wiring his necki'
Before 1 could stop him he lodged under
the rope and lifted Dick out of the cradle.
The animal woke up and took in the si;ua-
ton in about the tenth part of a second, and
then he fastened his hands into Pete's hair.
got grip with his teeth on the slugger's
nose, and we had museum, menagerie and
circus combined for the next five minutes.
Pete ronred and whooped and pranced
around in pain and terror, and the bab
pulled handfuls of hair from his head, and
bit and scratched like wildcat. When we
finally got m off that slugger was a sight
to behold, and had to be taken to the hos
pital at once. Two hours after he had had
his wounds dressed l went to see him, and
as soon as spoke TO him he began crying
and asked:
''Was it baboon which did thisl"
''Yesn
"Big as lion2"
"Oh, no. He weighs about twenty-slx
pounds. Why do you weep}"
Hadn't orter weep!" he savagely de-
manded, as the tears came afresh 'I've

out every time, and now to be downed by
