200 per cent. Calhoun ia the only county
rated as low as 60 per cent. The general
average in October Of last year was 65 per

2,50O,000 boxes. The general average In
September this year, as compared to last
year, is ia per cent. or 70 per cent. of a
full crop. This, Chief Clerk Henry s. Ell

crop Of 8, S5S, 461 boxes this year, allo wing

reports of correspondents, splitting OF

crop will be, for the bureau has sixty -sevon

orange>growing counties. and the estimate
is arrived at by striking an average from
their reports.

Speed and Form in Ships.

The primary condition for high speed is
ineness of form, so that the water at the
bow Of the vessel may be separated and
thrown to one side and brought to rest
again at the stern and behind the vessel
with the least possible disturbance, and
the measure of efficiency of form for the
maximsm speed intended is inversely at
the height of the waves Of disturbance.
A ship that has been designed to attain
a speed of fifteen knots will, when moving
at twelve knots. show very slight dis
turbance indeed, and in one designed for
eighteen knots, when moving at a slower
speed, it will be scarcely observable; but
however fine the lines Of ship may be,
she must at every speed produce some dis
tul bance, although it may be very slight,
as the water displaced by her must be
raised above the normal level and replaced
at the normal level; hence. at or near the
bow of a ship there is always the crest Of
wave, and at or near the stern the hol-
low of one
When vessel is going at it's maximum
speed, and is properly designed for that
speed. the wave should not be very high,
nor should it extend beyond the imme-
diate neighborhood of the bow; likewise
the wave of replacement should be the
same at or near the stern of ship, and
the wake" or disturbance of water left
behind in the track of the ship should be
narrow.-A 4. Sedt0n In Sc,ibner's.

What it is Wise to Forget.

And now let me give you list of some
things which will make you happier if you
forget them:
Your neighbor's faults.
Ill the slander you have ever heard
The numerous times you have told ser
want how to do things, and the numerous
times she has forgotten. Try again, and
perhaps she will remember
The date of your neighbours new dress,
so that she will not believe, when for some
special reason she has to wear it long
time, that you remember it from season to
season.
Forget the faults of some Of your friends,
and remember the temptations.
Forget the fault. finding and give little
thought to the cause which provoked it.
Forget the peculiarities of your friend
and only remember the good points that
make you fond of her.
Forget any personal quarrels, or his
tories which you may have heard by &C
cident, and which, If repeated, would seem
a Thousand times worse than they are
Forget that somebody's hair is ugly; re-
member only how soft and beautiful are
her eyes.
Blot out, as far as possible all the
disagreeables of lfe-they will come, but
lHey Only grow larger Wnen you remember
them, and the constant thoughts of acts
Of meanness, or. worse still, malice, will
only tend to make you more familiar with
them and to almost grow tolerant of them
Obliterate everything disagreeable from
yesterday; start out with a clean sheet for
to-day and write upon it for sweet mem
ory's sake, only those things that are love
ly and loyable.
These are the best rules for peaceful
mind and contented life.
