In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands; in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
" coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from ON increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.

C0coanuts, as We'll AS oranges anu l. >S'~
goes, VIII Yet Flourish In Florida
The cocoanut culture seems to have a.
good future in this country. Some tlme
ago our Consul in Manila sent different
varieties of that fruit to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and Prof. Il. u.
Van Deman, the efficient chief OF the
Division of PomologY, had them, by
order of Secretary Rush, distributed IN
the southern part of Florida, as expert
ence has shown that the climate and
soil of that part of the State is we'll
adapted for the development Of that de-
licious fruit.
The same department recently re-
ceived six varieties of the grated trees
of the choicest mangoes from Bombay,
India, which were also sent to Southern
Florida. This is the first time any OF
the choice varieties Of this fruit have
been introduced. There is no fruit even
in the East Indies that is more highly
priced than the best varieties of the
mango, and this country is to be con-
graduated upon the introduction OF it
here.
At this occasion will remark that the
Department of Agriculture, which has
received new impulse under the direc-
ton of Secretary Rusk, is doing all in
its power to improve agriculture in this
country, and considerable attention is
| paid to fruit-growing, with great sue
! cess. Prof Van Deman is pomologist
of long experience, upon whom our
fruit-growers look as an authority, and
the thousands of inquiries which are
sent to him during the year are all
promptly answered with valuable adj
vice.-E. Stephan, Washington.

French Detective Ability.

The ability of French detectives in the
matter of Disgusting their identity IS
marvellous. Some years ago one OF them
made a bet that he would, in the course
of tho next few days, address gentle
man with whom he was acquainted tour
times, for at least ten minutes eaeh
time, and that he should not know MN
on any occasion until the detective had
made himself known. As a matter OF
course, the gentleman was on his guarH'
and mistrusted every one who came
near him. But the man won his bet.
It is needless to enter into the partlcu-
lars. Suffice it to say that in the course
of the next four days he presented NM
self in the character of bootmaker's
assistant, hack-drivcr, venerable OLD
gentleman with a great interest in the
Bourse, and finally as waiter IN tho
hotel where the gentleman was staying.

Complaints From Hemp-Growers.

Some of the hemp-growers of. Ken
lucky are complaining lit is an cid
grievance) because buyers insist on it2
pounds of hemp for the hundred weight.
1t is an old and foolish custom, made in
old times to cover the supposed amount
of stalk left in the lint in breaking.
There is a law defining that
100 pounds shall be consid-
cred the hundred weight, but
buyers still hold to the old custom and
buy at SO much for the 112 pounds. 1t
makes little difference as to the price
paid, but there is no sense in clinging
to the old method, especially as itmakes
it more trouble to calculate. Any farmer
can break up this custom, so far as he is
concerned, by simply selling his hemp
at price per pound or per hundred
| pounds.

THE HORSE.
n You Want Good Service From You
Horse Care For Him.

II You Want Good Service From Your |
Horse Care For Him.
To take the utmost care of the horse |
should be fixed rule for every farmer,
and standing order for every hired
man who has to do with the horses. The
old saying: "a merciful man is merclful
to his beast" is no doubt true, and
piece of philosophy sustained by the OBJ
servation and experience OF the ages.
But this is hardly enough to meet the
case with those who have, perhaps, sew
eral horses or teams, and the care OF
which is left to hired help. The beast
is not sshis," and in cases where he
might be fairly good-tempered man ne
becomes thoughtless and careless about
the covering of the horse or horses. Our
point is that the owner must provide
GOOD blankets and make the command
imperative, with penalty, that they be
used.
We 60 much further than the merci-
full argument. Many owners of horses
have been brought up, or have come
up" in way to have no feeling for their
animals The idea that horse should
actually suffer from the cold, would
strike them as absurd, or at least as un-
important. Such men often have one
sensitive spot, 1t is the pocket. Prove
to them that blanketing will save them
expense of grain and hay, and, there
fore, much moro than pay the additional
expense in the costs of the blankets,
and YOU will touch more responsive
chord than that of pity for the SILVER
ing animal. But this fact and prin'
chile have been established in thous-
ands of instances. Again is goes with
out saving that the actual value OF the
animal is increased by keeping him in
good order and good appearance, such
as results from a careful blanketing.
To lose good horse is great loss Il
any man; often it is felt more than TIT
mere loss of the money value. But how
