The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1892-01-16

This is the season when the young
man is on the lookout for comfortable
quarters. There are thousands of un-
fortunate individuals who drift into the
city, obtain small clerkships or positions
accompanied with meager compensa-
ton, without friends in the Ito them
lonely city, to whom the thought of
hunting up a boarding house is prac-
tlcal nightmare. 1t must be confessed
that the question Of primary Importance
IN consideration of Eall the comforts ot
home" is the table. Provided the fooc
is of an excellent and varied quality
they will put up with such minor con
slderatlons as cracked pitchers, diminu
tive towels and coarse hemmed sheets.
This is how they find out the bounti~
fulness Of the table. In most boarding
houses the dining room is in the base
ment. BY passing along in front Of the
house at the twilight hour, by peering
through the cracks Of the curtains they
are able at a glance to see the quantity
Of food that is spread on the table if not
to test its quality, and with a little pa
tlence and careful scrutiny are able to
Judge even Of the extent Of the courses
In that section of the city known as ''be-
low Fourteenth street" it is not an un-
familiar sight to see these young men
leaning over the areaway rails in con-
temptation Of the condition of the tables
around which are seated the boarders at
their evening meal.
If the food is abundant, apparently
served with dispatch upon clean table
linen, the next move is to ring the bell
and to enter upon negotiations for a
room.-New York Times.

ExerciSA and Snort

A new device in Paris for healthful
recreation is called ''the hygienic horse.
A wooden horse is set on a truck to
which it is connected by means of a
rocker and spring. The truck runs on
rails, one of which is formed of fat iron
and the corresponding wheels have
channels which fit into it. The other
rail is V shaped and the wheels that en-
gage with it are simply rollers AS a
consequence of the rocking motion
which the rider gives to the horse the
truck rolls short distance upon the
rails, carrying along a ratchet which
slides along a rack between the rails.
If the impetus is sufficient to make
the ratchet advance the distance com
prised between two teeth, its extremity,
engaging with another tooth, prevents
the system from moving backward. If
this result fails the horse returns to the
starting point
Several sets of the trucks being placed
in parallel courses it is possible to get
up races in which it will be the rider
alone and not the horse and his rider
that shall win, and a new opportunity
to win and lose gloves and candy will be
presented Boston Transcript.

1t had almost passed out of recollec-
tlon when on last Saturday it was vigor-

daughter was added to the family, and,
strange to relate, it had but one arm, the
other ending just below the elbow joint.
In every other respect the babe was

fact that the deformed member is on the

Value OF Ambe During the Roman Empire

Value OF Amber During the Roman EmplFA
In such repute was amber in Rome in
the time of the historian Pliny that he
remarks sarcastically, 1.-THE price Of a
small figure in it, however diminutive,
exceeds that of living healthy slave
He observes also, "True it is that col
lar of amber beads worn about the necks
of young infants is singular preserva-
tive against secret poison and counter
charm for witchcraft and sorceries." He
says further that as an article of per-
sonal ornamentation amber was used to
produce limitations of precious stones by
artificial staining, a use to which it was
peculiarly adapted owing to it's brilliant
luster, combined with the ease with
which it could be worked and polished.

There is an interesting phenomenUm at
Millvale. 1t exists in the form of girl
baby, born perfect in body with the ex-
ception of one arm, winch terminates
abruptly between the elbow and wrist
Apparently there is nothing phenomenal
about this fact, for children born with
bodily defornity are numerous. But to
the medical profession the case is ex-
ceedingly interesting. The cause of
such freaks in human nature was once
considered inexplicable. When one oc-
CURED it was simply termed '|freak"
and allowed to go at that. But now
they can be explained.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ginter are the
parents of the child. They keep butcher
shop in the north end of Millvale borough,
at little place called Bowerstown.
Eight other children are in the family,
four boys and four girls, all of whom
are sound and healthy.
One day, some months ago, the father
was called away on business, and, as
usual. left the shop in charge of his wife.
The shop adjoins the kitchen. Hearing
knock at the kitchen door, Mrs. Gin
ter proceeded to answer it. Opening the
door she found awaiting her an old ped
dler familiar to that neighborhood. The
peddler was foreigner, by no means a
handsome man, and having but one arm.
The other was but the stump Of an arm,
which the man always carried exposed,
to excite the sympathy of the people.
Yarn for knitting purposes constituted
the wares Of the peddler. He was in
formed that nothing was wanted, but,
like other representatives of his trade, he
insisted that q purchase be made.
The misfortune Of the man was en-
phasized by special exhibition Of his
arm. The lady Of the house became very
much terrified, and finally to get rid Of
