THE NATIONAL WINTER RESORT.

that come to Florida every winter
for a change of climate. We
have some of the largest hotels in
the United States, at Jacksonville.
Ocala, Saint Augustine and Rock
ledge, on Indian river. A remark
ably fine hotel is the ''Royal Poin-
ciana, on Lake Worth, built by
Mr.. Flagler, and there is another
notable hotel at Tampa, belonging
to Mr.. Plant, and other irst-class
houses, though smaller, in other
cities, scattered over East and
South Florida.
SECTIONS AND PRODUCTS.
The section of the state where
live Middle Florida) is the farm
ing section. In the east and south
we have fruit and phosphates. In
my section we produce a great
deal of corn, as well as other vege-
tables, and cotton and cane. We
have very fine farming lands in
Middle and West Florida, and
many fine cattle are raised there.
Dairying is becoming profitable.
Lands are worth from S3 to 500
an acre and some choice places on
Indian river have sold as high as
$1,000 an acre. It depends on To-
cation and the character of the
product that can be raised on them.
Our cotton lands are down in con-
sequence of the depressed price of
cotton for the last few years, par
ticularly this year.
OUR IMMIGRANTS
Are mostly engaged in the orange
and vegetable and phosphate in
dustries. The population of our
state, within the last twenty years,
has increased very greatly, in a
larger proportion, I suppose. than
other southern states except Texas.
Many of the new settlers have
drifted into mercantile pursuits,
where there is a chance for them
in local trade.
LUMBER.
A very large lumber trade is
done in some sections, chiefly from
the ports of Jacksonville, Fernan-
dina and Pensacola. More square
rugged vessels arrive at and clear
from the harbor of Pensacola in
the course of a year than, with few
exceptions, any other harbor in
the United States. The coast
abounds with
FISH AND OYSTERS,
And they are shipped from the
state in vast quantities. In the
southern part of the state and
in some parts of the middle and
west are
FINE RANGES FOR CATTLE,
And in years past they have been
a source of much profit.
A GENERAL SUMMING Up.
The opportunity for large in-
vestments of capital in Florida lie
principally in the direction Of min
ing phosphate and in the fruit and
vegetable industry. While a great
many of the young orange trees
have been killed this year. and
others have been set back, It viii,
in the near future, be of some adj
vantage TO the fruit growers whose
groves have been spared, because
there will be less chance of over
production. There is

The Androscoggin Freshet.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Dixfield, April %. In your issue OF
Saturday are several mistakes, none
however of great Importance. There is
10 question that the Androscoggin above
Rumford Falls was higher than in Oc-
tober 9th. 1869. ] think this was the
fresher spoken of as the pumpkin"
freshet. Below Rumford Falls however
the Androscoggin was three feet, per-
haps four feet above the highest point
last Monday. Swift river was the high
est it ever was in October 1862. So high
and its current SO strong it ran in bill
lows completely across the Androscoggin
to the fiat below the works at Rumford
Falls. In the fall of 1855 the Andrscog-
Gin rose 90 feet at Putman's Ferry at
East Rumford, and did not rise more
than 10 feet at Dixfeld, five miles below
Run,ford Falls. Webbs river bridge in
the Newman neighborhood, Carthage
was swept away last Monday. VerJ
little damage was done on Swift river.

MISCELLANEOUS.
DIPHTHERIA
@ 81

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases - Diphtheria.
1t is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out of ten
cases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to a happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Bovinine.
This great blood-generating, life-main-
tanning, strength-developing and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat.
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor.
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, it becomes an absolute neces-
slty. In the worst cases, where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth.
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine is in itself a germicide, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilli.
Bovinine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of speedy recovery. To neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Bovinine is sold by all Druggists.

of a recent Roster exhibition at the
Cowles Art School. For the first time

real taste of the quality of some of the
leading French designers. There were
exhibited several beautiful examples of
the best of Cherets work and the splend-
did color seen that is lost in Magazine
reproductions lends more than half the
charm to his work. Steinlein. Toulouse,
Sautric Grasset, Carlos and -Millette
were also represented by beautiful ex-
amples. The exhibition also included a
collection of original designs by pupils
of the class in decoration. Some of the
best work that received high praise was
done by Miss Carpenter of Portland.

A River Flowing from tho Sea.

On tho African shore near the gull of Alden, and connecting the lake of Assal with the main ocean, may be found one of the most wonderful riv CTS in the world. This natural curios. ity in the shape of rlver does not flow to but from the ocean toward the in land. The surface of Lake Assal is nearly seven hundred feet below the sea level, and it is fed altogether by this paradozical river, the latter being about twenty-two miles in length. 1t is said to be a wonderful fact that this river of immense vclulrc, especial ly at high tide, furnishes exactly enough water to couutcTbalance the extraordinary evaporation of the lake, and that iD consequence the lakes surface remains at a uniform level year after year.

BlsMARCk's MORTGAGES.

The Ex-Chancellor Devoting S32, 1000
 Year to the Liquidation of Debts.
 Nobody in Germany has felt the evil effects of the agricultural depression more keenly than has Bismarck To persons who have read of the magniG- cent presents given to Bismarck by the old emperor it has been surprise to learn recently that his estates arc heavily mortgaged. His present from the old emperor after the AustroP Prus- sian war of 1866 was $500, 900, and with this sum he bought his palace at Var gin. After the Franco-Prussian war he received from the same hands tho Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued at $750, 900. He inherited the ancestral estate at Schoenhausen. On April l, 1885, Bismarclz's seventieth birthday, his admirers throughout the world gave him that portion of the Schoen- hausen property which his father had been obliged to sell when times were hard. The money value of the gift was some S400,O00. Bismarck is also a distiller, forester and the owner of large brick yard Despite all these ad- vantages, however, says writer in the Home Journal, he has found it inpossi- ble to lift tho mortgages, amounting to about S750, 600, which have incumbered his estates for many years. Of his gross income moro than S32, ,O00 must be devoted every year to paying the in terest on his debts. The burden is not agreeable to the old chancellor, and he has often remarked to his friends re- gently that his ambition to leave an unincumbered property to his children would never be gratifed.

CASHMERE SHAWLS.

Made by Men-Folr Months to Do Seven
 Inches.
 One day VIC went to town to visit manufactory of Cashmere shawls, says a writer in tic Corchill Magazine After a terribly unattractive approach, we again clarabercd up some stairs and emerged into Q large room full of looms, with about forty men all hard at work. One we especially watched. He had in front of him nearly D thou. sand shuttles of different shades, and out of these he would select one and thread it through as many of the fire strands stretched tightly before hirl as his pattern directed, and after so doirg he pulled toward him heavy tar which pushed the last little thread quite tight, before putting in the next
 In old days one man used to read out the pattern to all the rest, but now each has his own design on a slip oi paper in front of hin. It is said that the wavy line, so often seen in these shawls, was originally taken from the curves Of the JhelIIn. It took four months, we are told, for four men 10 do seven inches of this work, one yard wide, working from five in the mor1- ing till five in the evening every day, so it was hardly to be wondered at that two yards should cost nearly one hun dred pounds.
 As we left the worlIrocm, so glad to exchange its heated atmosphere for a cooler breath of air, it was impossible to check the obvious thought of the contrast such lives are to our own. We mingled with tIeAgayly dressed crowd gathered to see a polo tourpa ment, and our thoughts strayed bach to that stining room, with it's ceaseless monotony and perpetual grind. where men, more like machires. wove houl after hour varJinT hucs of color into one harmonious whole. And yet the old simile would also assert itself, that we too, in one sense, arc hour by hour working tiny threads that go to make up the pattern and color of our lives. The whole design, however. does net lio open before HIS, but is mercifully withheld 5y an all-wisc master hand.
