AMONG FARMERS.

Mr.. Landreth of the Albert Landreth
Seed Co., says that appearances indicate
that large acreage will be sown to pease
in this county the coming spring. He
has no difficulty in letting out seed pease
on contract.
The road bills now before the legislature
are arousing considerable opposition a.
mong farmers in this county and petitions
against them are being circulated and
signed by almost every one to whom they
are presented. Many OF the farmers of
this county say that the enactment of
road law would, in It's political effect, be
similar to the Bennett law. We have
Legislature which is. ready 20 run away
from its own shadow, if it had substance
enough to cast a shadow, and to enact
anything which would receive unpleasant
comment would be simply awful" 1t
would be fun to have the members fall
right into tie hole they are most ANXIOUS
to avoid and of which they are SO much
afraid that they are in chronic state of
trembling.

STATE BANKS.-A bill now before
the Florida Legislature is likely to at
tract considerable attention in financial
circles, eas it provides for the organiza-
ton of State banks and tho issuance by
them of circulating notes. The bill
provides that the State shall print a
number of notes ranging in value from
81 to$1 900. These are to be registered,
numbered and countersigned by the
comptroller. The bank accepting pro-
visions of the act shall deposit with the
State treasurer either United States
bonds, Florida bonds or the bonds of
any county in the State whose indebt-
dness does not exceed 5 per cent of it's
taxable value. The amount thus de-
posted shall not exceed the paid-up
capital stock of the bank. Ninety per
cent of this AMOUNT in circulating notes
will then be issued to the bank under
its name. The notes are made payable
on demand at the place of business of
the bank, and in case of refusal or de-
lay in payment in either gold or silver
the note will be protested, and unless
redeemed within ten days the State
commission, which will be appointed
for the purpose, will give notice that
all circulating notes of that bank will
be redeemed out of the trust fund in
the hands of the State.

A GERMAN CUsToM.-When q maiden
is betrothed in Germany she is called
"birde . by her sweetheart, who adj
dresses her thus until it becomes time
to call her" wife. Immediately upon
betrOthal the lovers exchange rings,
which, If the course of true love
runs smooth, are to be worn ever
afterwards until death parts them.
The woman wears her betrothal ring
on the third finger of her left hand
until she is married and then it is
transferred to the third finger of the
right hand. The husband continues
to wear the ring just as the wife wore
hers when she was o bride" so that
one can tell easily at a glance If a man
be or be not mortgaged as to his affec-
tions. a young German matron, on be-
ing told of the careless American
custom of allowing u man to go unfet-

ACURIouS SUTT,-One of tho most
curious damage suits on record is
now in progress in New York city. 1t
is a claim for damage Tor physical i'm
inries brought 10y William II. LaiGtaw,
against Russell Sage.
Sage is reputod to be enc of the rich
est men in the world, his fortune being
estimated at $40. coo, GEO on $40. COG. GOO.
On the ith of Decembcr, 1891. Il man
entered Mr.. Sage's Office, at IL Broad
way, with n carpet bag in which was q
bomb. He demanded 81, eco, 800, and
threatened to blow up the bIu6ing IL
he did not get it at once. I.aidlaw, u
brokers' clerk, who had called on an
GRAND to Mr.. Sage, cane into the
Office about this timc. Tho man with
the carpet bag dropped it upon the
ographer was killed tho man with the
bomb was blown To pieces and Laidlaw
IL Sage were thrown to the floor un-
conscious. Sage soon recovered and is
today rs vigorous as ever. Laidlaw,
att%r spending u long time in the hos
pital, came out u physical wreck. He
then brought suit against Sage for
damages, declaring hat Sage had used
him as u shield against the bomb by
pulling him between tho dynamiter and
himself.
1t appears that, walking backwards
from the dynamiter, Sage grasped
Laidlaw by the hand with u cordiality
entirely unprecedented, and gently
drew him around so as to place him
between his own person and the man
with the bomb.
1t must be confessed that Laidlaw's
case looks like II good one. Had Sage
been an ordinary citizen. he would
have rewarded Laidlaw handsomely.
But being Il multimillionaire he forces
the victim of his own cowardice to sue
him in u court of law.

in the Northern Rio Grande country, u
wild, sparsely settled section of the
State, and ran into u little town of
about two hundred people. There was
to be a grand political rally and joint
debate. The first speaker was a fair
talker, a Populist. He gave us an hour
or SO of talk on oppression, monopoly,
ETC., and then a Democrat took the
platform. He knew no statistics he
scorned figures, facts and argument.
He rolled up his sleeves, pulled off his

COOKING WITH ELECTRICITY.-How
to make bread by elcctrity was demon
strated at the Worlds Fair last week
by Miss Louise Johnson, an acknow-
lodged authority on this subject. Her
audience consisted principally of
housewives, who manifested great in
tcrest in the demonStrat,"n The heat
employed is over 100 d.giuca less than
used in gas and CRATE cvens. Miss

that 1T can be much better regulated

The Chinaman in the Household.

AS servants the Chinese are very
capable in many respects, n very
undesirable in others. They never
gossip about the affairs of u family
that employs them. They learn what
ever it is desired they should know,
acquiring skill with apparent ease by
means OF their wonderful power of
imitation. They are perfectly willing
to do every sort of household work,
and the average servant will act as
cook, chambermaid, launderer, and
waiter all at once for one salary. They
cannot bear to be ordered about by
women. They will take any amount
of scolding or fault finding from a man,
and none from o woman In two cases
of which / heard the Chinese servants
chased their mistresses out of their
houses with axes. A very vexatious
thing is that they never give warning
when they are going to leave a place.
they suddenly announce, "Me want
to go" and the utmost questioning is
not likely to elicit any more than "Me
want to go; me tired" One lady in
Victoria told me that she moved from
new servant. He stayed an hour.
The next n stayed an afternoon, the
next one stayed a day. Puzzled and
worried, she persuaded one who was
about to leave her to tell her why he
was dissatisfied. He took her to the
sink in the kitchen, and showed her o
peculiar mark in chalk under the sink.
1t was O notification by one servant to
all the others that the head of the
house was not kind or honest in his
dealings with his servants. She ex-
planned that she had but just moved
into the house, and the servant took
off his street apparel and remained
with her. But he told hcr that whom
ever q Chinaman came to work in a
new place he always looked through
all the pots and pans and kettles and
c%upboards for some piece of paper or
mark of some kind left by preceding
servants, and explaining the character
of the hOuso.-Julian Ralph, in

question whether n to,noto il

The question whether a tomato is
a fruit or vegetable has beer finally
decided by the Supreme Court Of the
United States. Several years ago
some imported tomatoes came through
the custom house in New York city.
when the collector classified them as
vegetables and collected duty accord
ingly. The importers disputed this
point, and claimed tomatoes to be
fruit and entitled to come free. The
matter was taken into court, which de-
cided in favor of the collectors claim
that the tomato is q vegetable.

How IS THIS ?-Tnformation has
reached Washington to the effect that
the young negro woman, Ida Wells,
who is %lecturing in England against
lynch law, is meeting with remarkable
success. 1t seems that the masses of
the English people mistake Judge
Lynch for q real character. His alleg-
ed cruelty has excited their indigna-
ton, and they are raising money to
stop his work in the United States.
just how money can prevent lynching
Is O mystery, but the British are going
right ahead, and they show their con-
fidence in Ida Wells by turning their
donations W. to her.
1t will be recollected that this
woman edited a negro paper in Nom
phis. She wrote an editorial attack
ing the virtue OF the white women of
the South, and skipped out, never to
return. She posed in Boston as u
victim OF ace prejudice and passed
the hat. Now, she is collecting
money in England to down Judge
and is living on the fat of the
land. Whatever may be said of her,
she Is no fool. She will work her
racket for all it IL worth.-Atlanta

THE RIVERSIDE STRIKE
HAS ASSUMED A MORE THREATEN-
ING ASPECT TO-DAY.
The Dressers Are Firm In Their De-
mands, but . Compromise Is Expected
Next Week.

The strike at the Riverside mills has
assumed a more serious condition. It
was currently reported this morninR
that the treasurer, Theodore King Of
Boston, was at the mill and had ordered
the superintendent to accede to the de-
mands of the dressers.
AT noon today, however. when the
dressers went to the Office at the mill and
received the full amount due them, moth
ing was said in relation to the strike.
Mr.. Ward, the superintendent of the
mill, was seen this afternoon by repre-
sentative of the News. He says that the
mills pay more than the average for all
classes OF work. and cited a number Of
mills that pay considerably less. Ono in
this state pays only sl75 When asked
what action would he taken In the mat
ter, he replied: "We will pay the aver
age price, as that is the policy of the
company"
The dressers appear to be confident
that they will receive an increase, AS
some OF the looms and portion OF ,hs
cariing and spinning departments are
alre idy stopped on their account. TIC
strikers say that IL the strike CONTINUES s
the mill cannot run more than one week
at the most.
They will meet tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock, and will form themselves Into q
permanent association.
Support from other organizations hal
been offered aud will no doubt be re
ceived IL the strike continues.
1t Is expected that the matter will be
settled amicably between noon and Mon
day night.
