tirely supported BY the Congregational
Churches OF the North. BY the rules OF the in.

ing to household economy. but waiting on the
tables has never been required Of them. New
rules however, have required tho girls to
stand behind the teachers chairs. wait
on the table: and not to eat or sit
down till the teachers are through. Tho
girls refused to obey what seemed to them to
be an infringement OF their rights. Their
parents sustained their daughters and object.
ed to their doing anything that savored Of
servitude. The suspension OF some Of the re-
calcitrant pupils followed.
The colored young women are determined
to maintain their ideas OF dignity. and the
faculty is as fully determi ned to carry out the
new regulations Of the American Missionary
Society. which supports the institution. Much
bitterness has resulted. and the Missionary
Society and other white people who have
preached to and labored for the colored peo-
pie for years appear to be greatly chagrined.

doubtless there was some. Other work

The clover took possession, and in
the fall there was not a crop of potatoes,
but of hay.
Stock eat the hay with relish, and in
the local market it's price is usually
higher than that of timothy hay from
the North. AS a permanent pasture
land it is, of course, out of the question,
as only cultivation will bring it up, but
the aftermath, or the crop itself, if not
cut for hay, is preferred by both horses
and cattle, to any other forage plant of

The Pine Industry.

The Times Union of the 18th says
Yesterday afternoon the first heavy
shipment of Florida pineapples to the
West was made by the east coast grow
ers. Fourteen cars loaded with this
delicious fruit reached the city over the
J., St. A. & I. r. railway from Cocoa,
six of these being billed through to Chi
cago. It is predicted that when the
westerners get a taste of this Indian Ri
YER product, they will 60 wild over it.
These lots were made up of some of
the largest most shapely and finest fla
vored "pines" that ever left the famous
coast where they are grown to the great
est perfection, and if a proper display
of them could be made at the Worlds
fair, it would prove big advertisement
for Florida.
The Pineapple Growers association is
highly pleased with the fast freight SER
vice which the East Coast line is giving
it and especially with TIE convenient
schedules and the elegant fruit cars
which it is providing. Transportation
is what that section has lacked hereto
fore, but what it gets the first season is
far ahead of the expectations of the grow
ers. The people and the railroad COM
panv are truly "partnprs" in the trans
p0rtatiOn business on the east cOast-and
this very satisfactory condition is stimu'
lating the growth of every industry over
there.

Spanish Glover.

In an article contributed to the Amer
lean Agriculturist, Colonel Jud Pierce
says of our Spanish or Mexican clover
growing so abundantly in the lower
coast region, that among the the plants
of Southern growth in poor soils which
will not support growth of the true clO-
vers, is Mexican clover, Richardson's
scabra. Everywhere in the piny woods
country for tier of counties or two,
back from the coast Of the Gulf Of Mex
leo, it takes possession of cultivated
fields as soon as cultivation ceases in the
summer. Ea1ly in the fall it has made
enough gro with for hay, and returned
enough seed to the ground to start
another crop the following season. Be-
tanically it is not clover at all, but be-
longs to the Rubiaceae family, which
family also includes madden, houstonia,
yellow jessamine, and many other gen.
era Of this country, as we'll as the bou-
yardia of our greenhouses, and coffee
and cinchona of tropical chimes.
This comparatively new plant, for us,
was introduced from Mexico and South
America. Like Bermuda grass and ia
pan clover, it has worked its own way.
Sometimes a new settler, back in the
woods carries home from a neighbours
barn a sackful of litter from the bottom
of manager, or from the barn floor, and
scattering this in his plowed field gets
a start. But mostly the seed travels
with the birds, or is carried with hay,
or, in some such npremeditated man
ner, makes its way to "fresh fields and
pastures new" Once established, it is
most persistent. While it will show
very little in the fields not under the
pillow, let the field be ploWed and
the clover will come up thick enough to
choke out any crop planted on the ground,
unless kept down by cultivation. AS
stated above it starts along as soon as
cultivation ceases, and in eight or ten
weeks is in blossom, and fit to NOV. In
appearance. it is not prepossessing.
The stem struggles and stools, the leaves
are scattered and narrow; the howerets

it is much less attractive than it's
cousin, red clover. Bat it will make a
fair swath, on light, sandy soil where
red clover would do nothing, and, more
over, it will SOW itself, and will make
crop the same season it starts.
1t cannot winter-kil, for it is strictly
an annual, and only the seed lives
through the winter, and will, for that
matter, live for several winters and
summers in the ground, until cultivation
wakes it up. The certainty with which
cultivation will wake the dormant seed,
is sometimes a source Of more surprise

A Royal Reception For Patti.

Nine. Patti had arranged to sing at
Bucharest on @ certain date, but could
not be persuaded to leave Vienna owing
to the inclemency Of the weather. So
M. Schumann, who was in despair, tel
egraphed to his agent in the Roumanian
capital to the effect that the diva must
at all hazards be met at the station at
Bucharest by q deputation of Roumanian
mobiles and ordered him to send tel
egram to the following effect: "Mem-
bers Of the Italian and Roumanian arts
tocracy preparing magnificent reception
for Patti. Cabinet represented. Torch
light professions, military bands. Wire
hour Of arrival"
The telegram duly arrived and was
shown to Mime. Patti, who was enchant-
ed and at once made ready to start. AS
the train steamed into Bucharest next
evening the scene was truly imposing
flags were flying, bands playing and
torches haring. The diva was escorted
to her hotel by an enthusiastic crowd,
and as they entered the door M. Schu-
mann signed to his agent to accompany
him. The latter, however, refused,
promising an explanation nextmorning.
1t turned out that he had hired gang

to a building that is designed to hold or
to give shelter to the largest possible
number Of persons at the least possible
cost to each individual tenant. "Apart-

ton of another Latin verb, "parser0"
Ito divide), and with equal propriety is
applied to a dwelling house, of which
the structural and social intent is to sep
arate family from family and to crafty
the desire for privacy that every house

tiol to low estimate that is practical
