How FEW people going to Florida know
anything about the great fresh water
spring in the Atlantic ocean? This great
natural wonder covers an area of about
two acres, is located In the Atlantic ocean
about two miles lease from the shore, and

silver cleaning white Gays trying to force
themselves over the powerful boiling
spring.

there are five distinct poisons. One is in

fl voring, and saltpetre and opium COM

A WEALTHY lady in Philadelphia died
about a year ago leaving by will the sum
of 81 900 for the support of pet cat.
The will was duly probated and the money
for tue support of the cat invested. But
the cat recently died leaving FIVE Deepen

asked to decide the question whether the
kittens or the relatives of the dead wo-
man are entitled to the Thousand dollars
left by the will for the support of the cat.

has consented to compose cantata or
symphony in honor of the Columbus cele-
bration at Genoa, this autumn, and
b. on Franchetti will write Columbus

thought more than probable that both

A. WOMAN'S HANDS.
She Uses Them Very Differently From the
Girl of Sixteen.

Girl of Sixteen.
There is nothing 50 great and indica-
ton of maturity as the way a women uses
T. T hands. Sne has out grown the period
when hands and feet seemed only to have
been bestowed to continually remind her
that she was In possession of something
she positively did not know what to do
with, and as result she to sitting upon
her pedal eXtremities aud awkwardly
bu'ying the other obtTuslve members in
the folds of her gown or behind her back
when anyone was present. Somehow,
even when dressed IN her very best for
some festive gathering IN the neishbor-
hood, the mi or would persistently re-
turn a reflection that was very suggestive
of hands and feet rather than of a pretty
white gown and a smiling, youthful face
above it.
In later years before full womanhood
was reached the feet were brought under
CONTROL but the hands still needed a
handkerchief to hold fan to wave or a
parasol to cary. They were not at
ease when emf y, but when at last the
bud blOsSomed into the lovely rose then at
last came rest for the hands. The preGty
members could hang list 'essiy graceful at
ne side or emphasize with easy gestures
her sprightly conversation. The woman
of twenty had gained the repose that
the girl Of sixteen lacked, aud nowhere is
it shown more plainly than In the action
of the hands, for though in motion they
have lost the nervous and hesitating man
ner that showed the self-conscioness OF
the novice, which In latter years is swal-
lowed up IN the assurance OF a woman of
the world.
At masquerade not long ago plump
and pretty woman assumed the costume
of peasant girl. Her little feet, i'm
ankles aud little girlish figure gave every
one the impression that the fair
masker was indeed girl in her first youth
until gentleman, who was watching her
attentiveiy, noticed the movement of her
pretty childish hands. ''She is not a
girl" he cried, but a woman of twenty
four or FIVE at least and thus it proved,
for when the masks we're removed the
peasant girl proved to be a gay young
mat-on nearer thirty than twenty.

that she should thus be taken in her youth,
while she had 50 much to enjoy, to live for
and to work for, yet we bow in submission
to this decree Of Him who ''doeth all things
WE'LL"
Resolved, That Sisters love for and
interest in our lodge and our order in which
she had long been an able and faithful MEM
Der and officer, should be an incentive to
each of us to continue ia our chosen work
of reaching down and out to save humanity
! from the dread tlrall OF intemperance
Resolved, That while we deeply mourn
her loss a Sister and friend, we shall ever
/ cherish in tender remembrance her unseltish
| devotion and unhounded charity, and the
many other beautiful traits of character
which enueare,l her to all.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt
and fraternal sympathy to her parents and
family in their affection, and can only point
them for consolation to Him who has prom
Used to be with those who mourn their loved
ones.
Resolved, That as token of our esteem
and fraternal remembrance, our charter and
regalla be draped IN mourning, that these
resolutions be entered upon a memorial
page in our records and a copy sent to the
family of our deceased Sister, also to the
local papers and Temperance Record for
