KISSED BY a GHOST,
Strange appearance of a Dead
Mother to Her Little Ones.

Strange appearance of q Dead
Mother to Her Little Ones.
The events to be related happened in
London only few weeks ago, ana are
given by the Detroit Free Press. Mrs.
X. had been i'll for some time, but was
not supposed to be in immediate danger.
She died suddenly and Unexpectedly
one night about So'clock. So unantic-
tpated was this event that her husband
was from home at the time. He was
sent for and arrived about midnight.
There were two children, little girls,
aged eight and twelve. Their governess
asked MIR. X. whether he or she would
tell them of the sad event of the night
before. The father said that he would
break the news to them, and he said
furthermore that he did not wish them
to see the body.but perferred they re-
tain the recollection of their mother
from seeing her while she was alive.
MIR. y. went upstairs to the room of his
little girls and found them awake. He
told them as well as he could that their
mother had had to go away and that
they would not be able to see her long
time.
YES" said the elder girl; "we
know"
How did you know" asked the
father in surprise. "Who told you?"
Mother came in last night and woke
US up and said she was going away.
She kissed US and told us to be good
little girls"
The younger girl corroborated this,
and the children, it seemed, had gone
to sleep quite cOutented. They had been
talking over their mothers visit when
their father entered the room in the
morning.
AS far as Mr.. x. could learn no one had
told the children of their mothers death.

To New York via Washington.

One OF the most delightful routes from
Chicago, st. Louis and Cincinnati to
New York is the B. & 0. r. r. via
Washington. The trip possesses many
peculiar charms, especially to one whose
Journeys have never taken him to the
borders of the sunny Southland. The
ride through the Monongahela Valley.
over the Alleghaney mountains, and
then along the historic Potomac, awak-
ems keen interest in the lover of the
picturesque. Much of the ground trav-
ersed has unique historic associations.
A large part of this region was debata-
BILE land during the civil war. Across
these fields and down these dusty roads
once marched now the Blue and now
the Gray. These valleys once rang
with cheers, now for the Stars and
Stripes, and now for the Stars and Bars,
These mountainous heights more than
once echoed the sounds of deadly con-
flict. Here General Lee invaded Mary
land and Pennsylvania, only to
be repulsed at Gettysburg. Here
Stonewall Jackson directed his
excursion by which he cors
rallied the Federal forces in Harper's
Ferry. And here at Harper's Ferry
was j ohm Browns old brick fort. To
one who remembers when these names
were first written in blood, what an ex-
element of feeling their mention
arouses, as do also the names Antietam,
Sharpsburg, South Mountain, Shenan-
doah, Harper's Ferry. BalPs Bluff.
Soon after Harper's Ferry is passed
there is seen dim!y the white marble
shaft of Washington's monument, and
then great white dome, and then other
pinnacles and spires, and Washington is
reached.
Even the most 'cursorY glance at the
city is sure to be profoundly impressive.
A half hours drive through the streets,
will reveal those features which have
given the city its reputation and made
it, in one sense, the Mecca of all patri=
otto citizens of this country.
New York is about five hours ride
from Washington via the famous Royal
Blue Line. The road touches at Balti-
more, Wilmington and Philadelphia.
This is one of the finest sections of rail
road in the world, the speed of the trains
often over sixty miles an hour.-North

PRUDENCE DID NOT SAVE.
An Amusing Story of the Censor
ship Of the Press in Austria.
Boston Transcript

Boston Transcript.
An amusing story of the thoroughness
of the press censorship in Austria is
told in German newspaper. An editor,
being at his wits end for leading
article, had the inspiration at the last
moment to print these lines:
after carefully perusing the leading
article written for the present number
by one of the ablest of our contributors.
we have arrived at the conclusion that
it may be misinterpreted by the authori-
ties and regarded as an attack upon the
government.
1--WE ourselves consider 1t to be per-
fectly Innocent, but as we are unwilling
for our readers sake, as well as for our
own, to have our newspaper confiscated,
we have very unwillingly, though, as
we think, prudently. resolved to with
draw the article. This must serve as
the apology to our readers for the blank
space in our present issue.
Imagine the shock with which he
heard from his clerk the next morning
that the paper had been confiscated by
the police. For what reason?" asked the
astounded editor. For malicious ridi-
cule of the institutions of the Austrian
empire by the omission of the leading
arGicle," replied the clerk.

Signals at Sea,

The system of signaling at sea has
been brought to a great degree of per-
lection. Marryatt's code was the orig
inal code in use, but some years ago an
international commission was appointed
to devise means of signaling which
would not be so cumbersome as the
code arranged by Marryatt, and the re-
suit was the present, which is known as
the international code.
1t consists of series of eighteen
flags, representing the consonants in the
alphabet, from 3 to W, with a code
pennant, which shows the code that is
used. By different combinations of two
three and four flag signals an almost
infinite number of signals can be made,
so that conversation can be carried on
at sea between two ships several miles
apart as easily as between two ladies in
a drawing room.
The character of the signal is deter
mined by the number of flags and the
kind of flag uppermost. For instance,
two flags, with square flag uppermost,
is all urgent signal and four-flag sig
nal, with square flag uppermost, is the
name of the ship, 9. g., flags represent
ing x, G, S, W. On turning to the sig
nal book the following information is
gained: K. G. S, w, ship George Cur
tbs, of Boston, Mass, 1,746 tons net
register, ofncldl NUMBER 80, sos.
The international code of signals can
be read by any nationality, as signal
books are in use in every language. at
present an international commission is
to be appointed to consider the advisa-
bility of adding two new flags to the
code, which, if done, would give nearly
$4,000 new signals.
1t is thought that the old-time sailor
is thing of the past, that steamboats,,
which do not require men with a
knowledge of seamanship in all its
ramifications, are making them die
away. because it is said that steamboats,
are fast taking the place of sailing
ships.
But facts do not bear out this view,
as the increase in the number of sail
ing ships is as high proportionately as
the increase in steamships. Further,
with the exception of few large liners,
which do an almost exclusively passen-
ger trade, the sailing ship is today max
ing more money than the steamer. and
this simply because her expenses are
infinitesimal in comparison with that of
the steamer.

Torn Reeds Luck.

Mr.. Reed moved to the Shoreham
when he was elected speaker.
His salary then was $1,000. The
$1,000 which is added to the
salary of the member who is chosen
speaker of the house has often been a
great consideration. 1t was with Mr..
Reed. At one time he had TO live within
his congressional salary. Now his rep
utation is so we'll established that he can
get large prices for magazine work.
Any one OF The reviews will pay him
$3.50 or 5000 for very brief essay. Mr..
Reed can easily double his congressional
income by literary work. But when he
was made speaker he needed the ad-
ditional $4,000 year TO support the dig
nifty of his position socially. Sam Ran
dali was another speaker who needed
the addition to his salary. When
for reelection to the speakership,
the chief regret expressed by Mrs. Ran
dali was at the loss of the additional in-
come. Randall lived and died a poor
man. His home was i'll little brick
house on Capitol hill, one Of cheap
row. 1t is still pointed out to strangers.
The amount which member of con-
gress spends in Washington depends
chiefly on his social aspirations. In
some degree it depends on his sobriety.
Mr.. Hoar is one of the many examples
which prove that a man can come to
congress and expect to live on his con-
gressional salary without loss of dignity.
But if he considers it part of his duty
to his country to give lavish entertain
ments and 10 make figure in Washing
ton society, poor man would better
stay out OF congress.

no oranges at all remaining in the grove.
He had been through the orange section
of the State good deal, and says there
are no oranges to amount to anything
except VoIusia, Orange and Lake coun-
ties. and in those counties about half the
crop has already been shipped. He as
serts that oranges will bring S2 on the
trees in the next thirty days. We are
convinced that oranges will bring bet
ter price in thirty days than they have
yet brought, but as to bringing 80 on the
trees it will take fancy fruit to do that.
There is no dsputing the fact that fully
one-half the fruit has been shipped out
of the State though the buyers assert to
the contrary and if the grower will only
remain calm, and not get ratified the
fruit still remaining on the trees unsold
will average $1.40 to $3.50 on the trees.
Our advice to the growers is to keep
cool and not lose confidence by the as

For The FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Value of Wire Grass and Pine
Needles.

Few will deny that our ordinary Flor
ida soil is very deficient in humus. We
apply clean chemical fertilizers to our
groves; keep the land clear or pillow it
often with the result that the whole
grove is, generally speaking, nothing
but bed of sand. This is one-sided
culture. Turning under green crops is
good but it is not enough, so we must
look to outside sources for our supply.
It is the general impression that pine
straw and wire grass are of little
value as fertilizing materials, indeed it
is said that they make our light soil
lighter.
Some time ago took the trouble to
have an analysis made at the Massa-
chusetts ex pertinent station which re-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-01-11

zers by supplying the humus so much
needed on our light, sandy soils, and
making it much more valuable than it's
chemical constituents would lead us to
suppose. F. H.
