ange grove sounds poetic and delight
full; but as the years roll by the poetry
gradually turns into very decided prose,
and, although the orange is just as beau
tiful as ever, we come to regard its util-
ity more than its beauty. Almost every
new conner makes the grave mistake of
planting orange trees close about the
house-all about the yard, every thirty
feet at least, they are planted, and not
infrequently is the house located in or
near the centre of grove. The evil is
not great at first, but as the ees grow
and approach the age of bearing it be-
comes more and more evident. What
few ornamental shrubs and plants have
accumulated must be uprooted, for the
orange is greedy and jealous tree, even
envying her sister, thirty feet away,
her sustenance. Often after ten, fifteen,
twenty years the owner is able to build
another, and usually better house than
the original one and nine times out of
ten he builds it entirely outside Of, if
not away from the grove. But then it
is beginning all over again as far as
shade trees and shrubbery are concerned,
and it seems really pitiful when we
Thu nix what magnificent live oaks, mag
nolias, Umbrella China trees, etc., could
have been produced in that length of
ii me.
Reader, are you about to make home
here? II so, pray do not make these
mistakes.

What is Rattan?
SOrren to, Fla.

Every one knows the pretty, light and
graceful chairs and other articles of furni
ture made from rattan, but every one
does not know that the extremely tough
and flexible wood called rattan is that of
the climbing palm tree. This curious
climber, which is more of vine than a
tree, is one OF thesinguiar characteristics
Of forest growth in the Celebes and other
Malayan countries. Starting with a
trunk little thicker than q mans arm,
it's winds through the forest, now wrap
ping q tall tree in it's fold, like some OF
gantic snake, and then descending again
to the earth and trailing along in snake
like curves until it can find some other
stately tree to fasten and climb upon in
it's pursuit of light and air. The forest
is so thick and jungle-like hat it seems
impossible to follow the course of any
one OF these serpent elm bers; but there
is little doubt that at the last the sue
cessfuI aspirant, which stopped and
cringedso long below, will be found shoot
ing up like flag staff dozen feet or
more above the trees which have helped
it to rise.
A use OF rattan, which is unknown to
those who have not seen it in it's native
forest, is as water carrier. The thirsty
traveller has at all times tumbler of
cool, refreshing water at his command
by cutting off six or eight feet OF rattan
and putting one of the severed ends to
his mouth, or holding it over dish to
catch the water.-Ex.

feet, are persimmon, mulberry and rough
lemon trees, also some grape fruit and
budded orange trees in bearing. There
are large oleanders, lantanas, lone
granates, Grape myrtles, elders, Spanish
bayonets, cape jessamine and other shrubs
aud plants. There is also large arbor
of the scuppernong grape and other
vines. A tender guava bush growing
near pine tree escapes frost when others
unprotected do not. This demonstrates
that we need not sacrifice all the pine
trees in order that we may raise some
thing else. But let it not be thought
that the realization OF my dream of
home among the pines came by dream
ing. No indeed! Many a war OF words
and teapot tempests have agitated the
otherwise serene waters OF domestic life,
before victory was won. The practical
and voting members OF the family, aided
and abetted by the practical and voting
members Of other families, declared that
the pine trees must come down; that
nothing would grow within one or two
hundred feet Of them. AS though there
is not land enough In Florida to grow
things without cutting down every pine
tree; those peerless crowns of glory bear
ing themselves aloft fifty or sixty feet
above the heads of those puny, utlitarian
creatures who would fell them to the
earth!
1t may safely be inferred that my home
among the pines is still far from being
the full realization of all it's possibilities,
on account of the opposition encount-
cred in arranging it. However my
dreaming still goes on towards further
improvement and if [ cannot have every
thing desire, [ have, at all events, the
lovely pine trees. AS long as they wave
their giant arms in defiance of the wood
mans axe, shall still dream that be-
meath their grateful shade there shall be
a beauty OF bloom and verdure which
shall best be portrayed by the word Ely

A Plea for the Pines.

ESteemlng your generous Offer for floral
articles too highly to let such an oppOr-
tunity pass by, avail myself of the priv
ilege of giving my experience in some at
tempts at Horticulture in fair Florida,
trusting that some one may be benefited
thereby. shall, at least, have the pleas
ing reflection that have done what [
could to assist in keeping up an interest
in the cultivation of flowers. AS an en-
vironment of floral beauty is greatly to
be desired and is, in a great measure,
needful in adOr ming our grounds, wish
to make plea for the preservation of
pine trees about our homes.
Coming into this lake region some years
ago, [ observed, with surprise and regret,
that the homes of many Floridians were
miniature representatives OF Oscillation.
An implanted board house, a few acres of
cleared land, orange trees foot Or two

few guava and oleander bushes we're all
the signs OF improvement, except in few
rare instances. Oak and pine trees all
cut down and rooted out ard the semi
tropical sun pouring down it's uninter-
rupted rays to scorch and kill all natural
verdure.
And why should this be so, cried out
my plying heart.
Answer came: 1t shall not be so. There

shade, the odor and the music of the
pines. The dream of home among the
pines is my realization. Much cannot be
said for it's architectural effect nor for the
expenditure of money; it's glory is the
glory of the pine trees.
Approaching the long, low house, the
background of pines lends to the place
majesty of appearance that many

the Pines," which may be profitably
perused by every resident of this sunny
State, but particularly by new corners.
1t is often remarked that persons COM
ing here from the northern, middle and
western States, must unlearn all they
know about farming. fruit raising, gar
dening etc., and learn all over again;
and naturally great many grave, or at
least annoying, mistakes are made.
Not the least Of these is the wholesale
destruction of pine trees and other nat
ural growths of the soil. Most settlers
arrive here, and begin their operations,
during the winter months when the air
is balmy and spring like and contains
no hint of summers heat. Almost in
variably the first thing that is done is to
select site for the house and it's sur
roundings, and then to strip it of every
vestage of natural growth.
While it is cooler here in the shade in
summer than it often is in the North,
vet the sun shines with all the ardency
that should be expected in this latitude;
the summer "comes early and Stays
late" but if our houses are properly
constructed for this climate-with wide
halls and broad piaZzas-and shaded as
they should be by trees and vines, the
summer season may be passed here
most comfortably.
Xxx
But if every pine and oak is ruthlessly
destroyed they cannot be Immediately
replaced by permanent shade trees, and
consequently the first two or three years
are apt to be fraught with considerable
discomfort from the refraction of light
and heat occasioned by the suns rays
beating upon the unshaded surface Of
the ground. The pine does not furnish
dense and unhealthy shade, but breaks
the force of the suns rays in a grateful
manner, and, besides, is tree Of ma
este and beautiful appearance. But in
leaving pines about the yard certain pre-
cautions should be taken for safety.
Every tree to be left standing should be
closely scanned for evidences of decay
or weakness OF any sort, for any such
are liable to go down before a strong
wind blowing. All that bear ak marks,
or other imperfections that may lead to-,
or foster, decay, and those with leaning
trunks-especially if they lean towards
the building site--should be ruthlessly
cut down and only straight and thrifty
specimens preserved. Black Jack and
Willow oaks, especially the former, are
not desirable for permanent shade trees,
but they may we'll be left about house,
particularly where they shade door or
window, until something more desira-
BILE has become established and coaxed
into thrifty growth, then the oaks may
be removed.

the great mistake lies in planting orange

The Telautograpb.

EDITORS HERALD: I stood and saw il
work in the gallery of the electricity
building at the worlds fair.
One man controls both the transmit.
ter and the receiver though thousands
of miles apart. l saw him sit down,
take an ordinary leadpencil and begin to
write on paper five inches wide.

wire, and the wire might have been q
thousand miles long, duplicating anoth-
er fve.inch paper, eight ieet away
When the pencil went fast or slow, up
| or down, crooked or straight, missed 9
| letter or struck it in the wrong place,
the blue point staggered along the re-
ceiving paper thousand miles off in ex.
actly the same way.
1t was 10Th century magic to see that
glass pen standing straight up, and in q
drunken walk making tracks on that
paper floor controlled, as it could be, by
hand on the other side of the globe OF
any where the telegraph wires are
| strung.
l said to the transmitter, "Can you
make some figure at your end that
may see it grow at my end?"
''Oh, yes."

I anybody can detect any difference
between the lead pencil lines or letters
and the ink lines or letters, though
separated by thousands of miles at the
same instant of formation, he has

secures absolute privacy OF cores

between two writer's. No telautograph
operator need know what the wires
transmit.
For instance, John in Boston wishes to
write a confidential letter to Julia in
Pasadena. John takes up his pencil and
sits at the table at the Hub and Julia
looks at the pen walking over the paper
before her eyes in Pasadena. She
knows Johns handwriting. She can
not be deceived. She could tell that
capital D, the initial OF thu first import
ant word. Should she meet it in Da-
honey or Dameriscatta-its healthy
plump look, its peculiar twist at its
southwestern corner, is unmistakably
her own Johns. If his letters get to
straying off the line, pitch forward or
back in Boston, the same straying, the
same pitching goes ON in Pasadena be-
fore her eyes. She sees the whole
epistle written as if she were looking
over the young mans shoulder as he
writes.
When finished she can tear off the
written portion before her, knowing no
person has any knowledge OF it but her
self and her friend in B.. 1t is the

Rousseau.

Rousseau was type of the melancholic
temperament, assuming sometimes the
symptoms Of veritable pathetic insan-
ity. He sought to realize his phantoms
in the least susceptible circumstances;
he saw everywhere enemies and conspir-
ators, frequent in the first stages of in
sanity. Once. coming to his sailing YES
sci in England, he interpreted the unfa-
vorable winds as conspiracy against
him, then mounted an elevation and be-
gan to harangue the people, although
they did not understand word he said.
In addition to his fixed ideas and delir-
isnt convictions, Rousseau suffered from
attacks of acute delirium, sort of ma
niacal excitation. He died from an apo
plectic attack.-New York Times.

''Tll do it," said Hans, eff may take
friend Of mine along"
Take all your friends" was the reply,
given with an air of assurance.
MAY I have peep at your treasures
If I come out alive?
"Aye, truly, if you come out alive"
So Hans took the man who had swal
lowed so many winters and summers,
and they entered the smokehouse about
dusk. There was already scorching
fire in the furnace, and there was no es-
cape, for the king had locked the door.
"You will have to let loose six or seven
winters" said Hans to his friend.
The man did as he was asked, and as
the night wore on the temperature be-
came actually chilly. Now a few sum-
mers were let out, and the friends slept
comfortably until dawn.
When the king opened the door in the
morning, the man of many seasons blew
a cold blast right in his face, SO that the
! royal nose was pinched with frost.
MAY see your treasures now?" asked
Hans.
First you must find my son, the child
prince He is lost, and mourn for him
night and day." declared the Mountain
King.
''I'll find him." said Hans.
He now sought the man who could see
and hear so far.
"Help me find the Mountain Kings
son." cried Hans.
The man listened and looked, and at
last he said:
''He is on the mountain, 100 miles
from here. can both see him and hear
him cry Bird Dan must carry us to the
spot"
So they called on Bird Dan and soon
restored the young troll prince to his
father. Now Hans was told he might
ask for his pay
"Give me-" said he, ''the rusty sword
that hangs on the wall"
"That you cannot wield," replied the
Mountain King.
"Yes, can" said Hans. "for I will
drink of the water of life in the bottle
on yonder shelf"
So he got the sword and the refresh
ing draft that gave him strength to WELD
it.
"Now,' cried he, "for lamp to light
my path, and then I'm off to see the
treasures in the cavern beneath the

"The lamp you will find in the cham

A FAIRY STORY.

Hans lived among the mountains in
Norway. One day he lay on sunny
bank watching the fieecy clouds, swift
messengers of thought, as they sped
across the blue ether, and he saw them
take on many strange shapes. Now a
monstrous troll, as the mountain giants
are called in Norseland, would stand out
in bold relief, and again curious beasts
and birds would present themselves 1,
his eager eye.
All at once he was afoat in folklorl
land, where he was to meet face to face
beings of whom he had heard so much.
He was bound to visit the castle of the
Mountain King, the mightiest of trolls.
The air was full of music, and he heard
the birds singing about this king and his
treasures.
Hans now heard whizzing in the air,
and there appeared before him the big
gest bird he had ever seen in his life. AS
1t plunged down beside him, it almost
seemed as though q huge load of hay had
been dumped on the ground.
If Hans would get on his back, the
bird told him he would bear him to the
Mountain Kings castle, but the boy
must hold fast to the feather at the nape
OF Bird Dams neck lest he fall. This
feather, you must know, was as big and
as tall as half grown spruce tree
Hans did as he was bid, and away they
went sailing through the air SO fast that
the wind whistled after Them Presently
they reached some noble grainfields,
and here Bird Dan paused to fill his crop
1t frightened Hans to see how much he
could devour. The boy himself sat down
to partake of the modest lunch he car
ried with him, when he saw man lying
with his ear close to the ground.
"What are you doing?' asked Hans.
81 am listening to the grass" was the
reply, "My ears are SO fine can hear
every blade as it grows. Ineed less sleep
than bird, and can see a hundred miles
by night as well as by day."
YOU'D be useful man to have on my
Journey" said Hans. 'sWill you 20
along?'
eyes, if Bird Dan will take me. and if
you'll give me some of your lunch"
my lunch isn't much, but such as it is
I'll gladly share it with YOU" said Hans.
Bird Dan consented, and away thew
went with the new ceinrade.
