THE FLORIDA FREEZE.
ID isastrous Results to Fruit and
Vegetable Growers.
ORLANDO, FLA. Jan. / 1885.

ORLANDO, FLA. Jan. l 1885.
Editor of BELLOWS FALLS TINES:
Perhaps short letter at this time
from this part of the country may not
be without interest to some of the read
ers of the TINES
Florida has suffered greater calam-
ity than the freeze of 1886, the mercury
going four degrees lower, and although
i'm 'S6 it remained frozen three days it
has now thawed and frozen again per-
haps twice. Last Thursday it began to
grow cold and Friday morning the
thermometer was at 50. Friday was
colder and there was strong wind and
Saturday morning the thermometer
was at IS during the day it was up to
40 and Sunday morning it was at %,
and during the day reached the fifties
and again this mornin it was at 80, so
that all vegetation has been frozen two
or three times.
About twoffths of a eror of 5000, 600
boxes of oranges in the state had been
picked and the other threefifths are
good for nothing, and then there are
the thousands of acres of pine apples
and other thousands of vegetables that
are ruined. One man just out of town
has Is 900 boxes of frozen oranges on
his trees and another having six or
eight acres of pine apples estimates his
loss at $4,000. These are perhaps extreme
cases but there are plenty of such in the
state.
Nor does the loss stop here probably
a good many of the trees are killed,
particularly the grape fruit, which is
more tender than the orange, the bark
having burst on many trees and the
new wood, on which the bloom fol
another season should come, is most
likely largely killed and that means
short crop for another year. Another
matter of some importance is the freez.
ing and bursting of water pipes, which
with the force of plumbers in this city
probably cannot be repaired in a week.
But with an occasional freeze the
climate of Florida is fine in the winter
and many visitors are present to enjoy
it, although the great rush does not set
in until after the holidays.
Yours Truly,
r. S. Sanford.

Tobogganing in Canada.

All the toboggan slides at the Ottawa
Winter Carnival are to be illuminated
with electric lights of various colors.
The chutes on both sides will be lined
with lights few yards apart. Stand
ing from the top of the slide the appear
ance will be given of two solid lines of
fire between which the toboggan will
rush with meteoric speed. The effect
to those on the toboggans as they dash
along will have the appearance of a
long string of diamonds, rubies and
emeralds. Even Mother Goose sailing
through the air among the planets on
broomstick would acknowledge her
self outdone and view with envy the
modern toboggan slide.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury

as Mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable ply
sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good You can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.. contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. 1t is takAp

From The Indianapolis Journa

"My wife," said young Mr.. Fits to
group of others of his ilk, "takes it as
an insult to her sex if make unkind
remarks about any other woman, and
as an insult to herself if make kind
ones. What the deuce is fellow to
do?"
The oldest married man in the party
advised him to do nothing.

GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.

The Position 1t Occupies and Atten-
tion 1t Is Receiving from Scientific
Men.
The germ theory of the origin OF
disease is subject which is at pres
ent attracting the attention of scien-
titic men In all parts of the world.
The chief Importance of the germ the
DRY, however, is not that IL shows the
origin of disease but that II points out
the best means to be employed to eff
feet cure, The germs of disease,
from whatever source they come, are
lodged and developed in the blood The
blood, of course, by circulating to every
part of the body, is sure TO scatter dis
ease throughout the system whenever
Ii is impure, the weakest and most sus-
ceptible parts being the first to suffer.
1t is because of scrofulous taints In the
blood for instance that the skin be-
comes covered with eruptions. 1t is
Tactic acid in the blood which causes
rheumatism. and il is because the
blood does not supply proper noursh-
mcnt fa the nerves that people suffer
with nervousness. The cure for all
these diseases. and OF many others,
can only be effected by purifying the
blood and absolutely destroying all
germs Of disease No intelligent per-
son can doubt that Hoods SarSaparilla
has actually and permanently curee
many thousands Of eases Of scroflia,
rheumatism nervousness, dyspepsia
and other troubles. and as its proptie-
tors claim, ii is all because this meli-
cine puriiieS the blood. AS Il matter
of fact Hoods Sarsaparilla is the only
reliable blood purifier that Is before
the public to-day, and persons afflicted
with impure blood or any of the great
variety of ailments which il causes.
will be most certain to find relief and
cure in Hoods Sarsaparilla because 1t
possesses this peculiar power to puri-
fy. enrich and yitalize the blood, and
destroy the germs of disease.

WOMEN JOURNALISTS.
Some of the Aristocratic Ladies Who
Have won Fame by Their Pens.

All journalists are aristocrats; but.
ing to earn, all aristocrats are not
journalists. OF those who are. Lady
Colin Campbell and Lady Violet Gre
vile stand first among the members
of the weaker sex. Lady Colin Camp
bell is now editing the Realm, and she
is constant contributor to the World
and several other papers. Lady VIC
let is also we'll known as n writer of
periodical literature. Her style is ex-
eellent. 1t is light and versatile and
refined and her wide womanly sym
pathies ana keen perceptive powers
add to the charm of her work.
Some of the English princesses write
occasionally. although they only accept
an honorarium for charitable objects.
Princess Christian has done a good
deal of journalistic work in her time,
and always in a straightforward and
sensible manner.
The Countess of Aberdeen OCCASION
ally writes on political and social sub
jects, and the Countesses of Jersy.
Munster and Marall WELD the pen ably.
The Duchess of Sutherland is really
good short story writer, and Lady
Henry Somerset is weekly contri-
butor to her own paper, the Woman's
Signal.
Lady Meath and Countess of War
wick have occasionally written artil 5,
and among other titled ladies who
have taken up journalistic work may
be mentioned Lady Jeune, the Hon.
Emily Lawless, Lady Lindsay, and
in France the Duchess Dues and the
Countess de Martel.
