Last Friday part of the crew Of a Nor
wegian bark, from Jamaica bound for
Rotterdam, with q cargo Of mOlasses,
landed in the blight of Canaveralin search
Of fresh water. The captain said his
chart showed q fresh WAFER lake at the
cape. Fresh water costing 10 cents a
gallon in Jamaica, and the cape being
but two days out Of the way, he decided
to wait and fill the tanks from the fresh
water lake; when he got here he found the
lake was dried up mud hole. The bark
lies about seven miles off the light house,
and the men have been getting water at
night from the we'll which the WOrkmen
have dug about half mile below the
cape.--Indian River Advocate.
The statement has been made with
authority that during the eleven years
in which the Disston companies--com-
prising nearly half-dozen different
land drainage and Improvement com
panies-have been operating in the
Okeechobee region and as far north as
Lake Tohopeka)iea these companies
have never employed a physician nor
lost an employee from death, nor have
any men left the service Of the COM
panies because of inability to stand the
climate or work. These employees are
nearly all white men, and the fact that
no sickness appears among them speaks
volumes for the heaithfulness Of Flori-
da's climate; sit is unexcelled any
where in the world. "-Times- Union.
The force of men employed in theinitia-
tory work OF removing Cape Canaveral

for supplies has been constructed one and
One-half miles south of the light tower,
from which point a railroad will be built
first to the tower, then to the location
for the tower. A pier will be built soon
which will enable them to land supplies
easily, the present method Of surfing be-

HOW to CLEAN curr.pts.

Currants should be washed in warm wa.
ter until the water is merely Redeemed by
them, but not soiled at all. When clean,
turn the fruit on q sieve to drain and dry
them in cool place, sprinkling little
-four over them and rubbing them in a
cloth. This will remove many of the small
stalks which will probably still adhere to
them even after washing. Now take few
currants at time and sprinkle then, on q
plate to discoverif any small stones remain.
The noise they make will betray them. II
is good plan to clean currants as soon "a
they come into the house and to store them
in jar. and it Is easiest not to attempts
more than pound at a time. They must
on no account be used when they are wet or
hot, and they should have little -four
sprinkled over them before being mixed
with the other ingredients. If liked, they
may be scalded with boiling water to make
them plump and tender. but even in this
case they must be thoroughly dried and
Toured before being used.

1t is the great white headed eagle, the
most stately Of his tribe, which has been
chosen by the American people for their
national emblem. He is indeed u kingly
bird. In size he is immense. measuring,
when fully grown, more than three feet
from beak to tip of tail, and in spread of
wing upward Of seven feet His body is
covered with feathers of dark brown,
CLOSED with coppery tint. The head is
white, as is also the tail, which extends be-
yond the folded wings The Ceak is dusky
brown and the claws blush black. The
feet are golden yellow, and the soles rough
and warty, suited for holding slippery OBJ
jects. The popular name of bald or bald
headed eagle, by which this magnificent
bird is known, is pronounced by writer in
Popular Science News, who gives the fore
going description, to be as absurd as it is
erroneous, for the head and neck of the
bird are both thickly covered with beau
tiful white plumage.

ART NEEDLEWORK.

Novelties Tint Tempt to the Pursuit of q
Fascinating Occupation. t
This seasons embroidered book covers
are superb as to decoration. One is of Grim
son velvet, with design entirely worked out
in gold bullion and thread. The Tudor rose
decoration, with jewel in the center of each
flower, and it's companion, with the lily
worked in pale yellow and shaded with
puce on q medallion, with ground Of sky
blue, is another example. These Tudor
books are great favorites and hold their own
even against their rivals in Kensington
work.
A perfect frame for the photograph of a
bride or pretty debutante is that of cream
satin thickly padded and embroidered with
tender green and other pale tints.
A large screen, the three folds graduated

gray cloth embroidered thickly with white
floss silk. The design Of dragons, coiled
and interlaced to form square, is carried
out in white, witha suspicion Of pale rose
tints where the Embellishments occur. A
frill Of silk to match the cloth surrounds
the cushion.
The Russian embroidery is singularly ef-
fective. This generally is worked in red and
blue cotton on q gray ground, often emily
ened by threads of gold.
Very fine stitchery is introduced into the
fashionable teacloths, which are Of delicate
hemstitched linen, worked with running
pattern as n border in Alsatian cotton cleo
trio blue finding most favor. Sometimes
the design is carried across the cloth. New
er than this are the teacloths, table runners
and square center pieces worked in large
hearts eases and leaves, with colored
threads on the edge, and then cut out to the
form of the leaf or fower-a most effective
treatment.
II it be true that needlework is going out
of fashion, it is certainly not due to the fact
that workers have no emptation to pursue
that gentle art, for every kind Of novelty
seems to have been devised to encourage
this most womanly pursuit.
