The Sisters Attributes.
Her presence condemns vice.
1t is to minister in a holy Office.
Who is happy without sister:
She gives the finish to the family.
In her he finds ready companion.
To every brother she is light and
life.
A sisters office is a noble and
gentle one.
No household is complete without a
sister.
Her heart is the treasure house of
confidence.
A sisters watchful care-can any.
thing be more tender?
A sisters ADMINISTRATORS the
world show anything purrr?
A sister is sort of guardian.
angel in the home circle.
We pity the brother who has no
sister-no sisters love.
To be sister is to hold a sweet
place in the teart Of home.
A sisters love, sisters influence
what can be more hallowed?
We feel sorry for the home that is
not enlivened by a sisters presence.
Her sympathy is as open rs day and
sweet az the fragrance Of flowers.
She is the quickener Of good reso-
lutions, the sunshine in the pathway
of home.
In her he finds safe adviser. a
charitable, foroiving, tender, though
often undessrving friend.
Her duty is to persuade to virtue,
to win to wisdom's ways; gentle to
lead where duty calls; to guard the
citadel of home with the sleepless
vigilance of virtue; to gather graces
and strew flowers around the home
altar.

The Fruit Market-Not Encouraging.

The last bulletin issued by the Florida
F4uit Exchange says:
In our last issue we advised lighter
shipments. We now have to report the
markets still lower under heavier re-
ceipts. Never in the history of the or
ange trade have the shipments been SO
heavy as during the past three weeks,
and the general conditions of the fruit
has rarely been so poor.
We see absolutely no inducements to
ship under present conditions, and those
growers who can afford to hold their
fruit had better do SO.
The average of the various markets is
fairly represented by the sales, as re-
ported since our last bulletin, in all,
fourteen sales, resulted in averages as
follows: $196, 81 81, 81 35, 81. "A, ST. 80,
$1.26 $1O6, $132. $1.14 $3.50, $1.7O,
81 LAC, 81. So, $1.34
The range of prices was so cents to
$2874.
OF course we know that with the alb
sence of so much rot the prices would be
very much better, although the quantity
now in market and in transit is sufficient
to depress prices.
Tangerines and Mandarins are lower
than last reported, and supply is more
than equal to the demand.
Grape fruit while lower is doing fairly
well.

consume more than So per week worth
of actual food.
The above certainly docs not outline
any visionary, impracticable or extrava-
CANT idea of Florida life or give any in
ducement other than filling the Hungry
Cap for the first five years. Like high
paying life insurance endowment policy,
if his grove should be growing in value
and increasing it's dividends of golden

above described, and will now have
property worth and easily salable at say
So, 500, which if he will keep and con-
tinue improving five years more should
pay him at least twenty per cent. on
twice that amount.
A few localities in the State are suited
in addition to the above products to the
growth Of pineapples, which yield their
crop eighteen to twenty-fOur months from
time of planting. The returns quoted
from plantations in the State seem fabu-
lous, and are almost beyond belief till one
is confronted with the return checks. 1t
is perhaps safe to say that there are few
well-cared for plantations that will not
produce in fruit and plants upwards of
81, 900 per acre. If the new fancy high
priced or imported varieties are planted,
the profits have been known to be at the
rate of 5000 and upward per acre, but
the latter requires much larger capital,
as the plants are yet very costly.
All the above plans are entirely FEAST
BILE on what is known as high pine land,
thousands of acres of which have for
ages remained in wild state, being re-
garded as too barron for cultivation.
Such lands can be secured at from $40 to
$25 per acre amid settlements on easy
terms. Who, then, with a capital Of
$500 and upward and blessed with good
health, pluck and perseverance should
hesitate to try to make a home, living
and final competence in sunny Florida

December Weather.

The Chief of the Weather Bureau di-
reefs the publication of the following
data, compiled from the record of obser
vations for the month of December
taken at this station for a period of %
years.
It is believed that the facts thus set
forth will prove of interest to the public,
as we'll as the special student, showing as
they do the average and extreme con-
ditions of the more important meteOrO-
logical elements and the range within
which such variations may be expected
to keep during any corresponding month.

Florida is largely horticultural, and
Hungry Gap" of several years, con-
fronts intending settlers, few of whom
have sufficient capital to own or build
homes and also money enough to supply
living expenses while waiting for the
golden harvest. This is often quoted
against the State as an inSurmOuntable
obstacle. Agents for land and railway
companies in the far West, glOwingly
hold UP to the settler the prospect OF
a harvest in three or six months sutfi-
cient to pay for his home and living
True, prospects are often allurlng, not
real, but this is sufficient to attract
hordes of immigrants.
That at least five years must elapse be-
tween the planting Of an orange tree and
the time when it will begin to reward
it's patient cultivator, is sufficient to de-
ter many entering this branch of bust
ness, and the orange is supposed by
many to be the principal, if not sole
means of sustenance.
1t is the purpose of this brief article
TO show how this seemingly insurmOunt-
able obstacle may be overcome, having in
mind a practical illustration where the
following conditions exist.
Please imagine, reader, perfectly
wild, but promising new territory, un-
touched by man, with natural advanta-
ges including freedom from frost, pure
water, and a rooling country insuring
good health. Place upon this tract say
fifty families of average intelligence
from Northern States. with an average
capital say of $500 each, to start with.
How shall these fifty families fill the
"hungry gap?" First, two stores will
be required, including postotfice and a
postmaster. A church will call for
minister. A hotel will be needed, and
give living to at least three or more
families. A saw mill will be required
and supply work for eight families Al
least ten more will find employment as
carpenters if the place has healthy

growth, but no matter how great are the
natural advantages, unless the outside
world learns of them through persis-
tent course of advertising, and faithfully
followed correspondence, the place will
not grow and to insure the success of a
new community, firm or company
backed by ample capital, is required.
This firm, if competent, will secure nu-
merous contracts for planting and Guilt
waiting nonresident orange groves, which
will call for large monthly outlay for
clearing and fencing land, and cultivat-
ing trees.
At least twelve of the fifty families
should find employment in this way.
Such firm would be likely to start an
immigration newspaper to 'boom the
town." which would furnish employ
ment for two or three more families.
Meanwhile, large portion of these fifty
families should have purchased each a
cleared, fenced, plowed and planted with
citrus fruits at the rate Of fifty trees to
the acre, or five hundred trees on the
ten acres. Each tree if properly Guilt
waited and fertilized meanwhile, can be
relied upon to net it's owner at least ST
per year in it's increasing value, piling up
this like interest while he sleeps. 1t is a
poor citrus grove in a frost free locality
that is not worth at least $40 per tree
when ten years old, and should pay a
large interest on such a valuation.
Meanwhile, among these trees is much
space that can be put to good account
and yield harvest. Sweet potatoes
facetiously styled ''life preservers'O if
planted in June will yield abundantly in
November. Melons will frequently yield
more the first year on virgin soil than
