How They We're Introduced on the Coast
Of Florida Years Ago.
Ou,te a number Of tropical fruits have
recently been introduced into cultivation
in this country. Already on the east
coast of Florida are growing 25O,OOO
cOcoanut trees, $4,000 being on one plan
totion. It s believed that the first trees
Of this kind IN the State sprOuted from
nufs brought from Central America and
the West Indies by the Gulf stream
AT Key West and about some Of the old
forts cocoanuts were planted at an early
dav. as certain ancient trees now stand
tnF bear witness. In 1877 a bark
frelgbred with cOc0anuts was caught IN
q storm off the coast Of Florida and
beached near Lake Worth. Several
thousand of the nuts We're saved and
planted. the satisfactory growth Of the
seedlings giving an impetus to cultiya-

The first Importation Of cOcOanuts Of
named varieties was made IN 1889, when
the Secretary of Agriculture obtained
through the State Department two
Shipments of selected nuts from the
PHILIPPINES. These, with two other
shipments in 1890 from the same Islands,
c0mprehended fourteen varieties. To
get so many varieties was no easy task,
inasmuoh as not more than two or three
kinds grow IN any one district or ISL
and Of the archipelago, and they were
collected by q skilled bOtan!st, who
made the tour for the purpose. The
nuts thus received were forwarded to
growers in Florida. Certain specimens
from the Islands Of Albay and Misamis
we're of the smallest know variety
which yields little oil and Is of inferior
flavor. The shells are carved by the
natives into beautiful drinking cups.
The meat of a variety called ''tayOma-
mas" Is prepared as a delicious sweet
meat with yams and syrup. Another
variety, on account Of IT'S extreme hard
ness, IS known as "bahan" which means
milestone.
The word cocOanut is derived from
the Portuguese coco" meaning mon

Football has engrossed the attention
Of local sportsman during the week.
Nearly every team in the country had
a game on Thanksgiving. The contest
between the Tigers and Western Uni

largest crowd which has yet turned out
in this city to a foot ball game. The at

are Indications that this form OF sport
will receive the consideration at the

much to a lack of interest, as ignorance
OF the points Of the game. II foot ball
was as well understood as base ball, the

THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF
A CANNON

Close by would not have more dis
turbing effect upon the nerves which
are vigorous, than an ordinary noise
upon those which are weak and un-
strung. AS nervine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is unTivalled. BY pro-
noting digestion and assimilation they
overcome that gastric disorder, which
is the most prolific cause of nervous
debility, and which. SO long as it exists,
defeats in large measure the action
of sedatives and oplabes. Such reme-
dies, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to
act altogether, except in dangerous
quantities. They never reach the foun-
tain head of the trouble, and quiet the
nerves only by semi-paralyzing them.
Equally Objectionable are fiery unmedi-
Gated alcoholic stlmulants. Kidney,
bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con-
stipatlon, and rheumatism are relieved
by the Bftters, which also promotes
appetite and nightly repore.

HOPE CRUSHED TO EARTH

Will rise again in the bosom Of a dys-
peptic wise enough to substitute for the
pseudo-tonics, which has bamboozled
him out of his belief in the possibility Of
cure, the real invigorant and stonlachic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The bill
tous the nervous, the dyspeptic, the
rheumatic alike derive speedy benefit
from this healthful botanic medicine.
Persons suffering from indigestion will
gain no positive permanent good from
the fiery, unmedicated stimulants of
commerce, too often used recklessly.
The Bitters is immeasureably to he
preferred to these as a tonic, since
its pure basis is modified by the con.
junction with it of vegetable ingredi-
ents of the highest remedial excellence.
Malaria is prevented and remedied by
It, and 1t infuses vigor into the weak
and sicllly. A wineglassful three times
a day is the average dose.

THE INFLUENCES OF CLIMATE ON
HEALTH.

1t cannot be denied that influence Of
climate upon health is great, and 1t Is
in recognition of this fact that physi-
clans send patients suffering with pull
monary diseases to great distances for
"change of air." But when the sufferer
happens to be too poor to act upon
the advice his lot is hard indeed. But
it is not necessarily hopeless. DIR.
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
can be had at any medicine store, and
to it thousands whose cases were con-
sidered desperate owe their lives.
Up to a certain point in the progress
of consumption, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is positive remedy
But delay is dangerous with consump-
ton. In all the conditions that lead to
it, the Discovery" is the remedy. With
severe lingering coughs Of weak lungs
nothing acts so promptly. Every di-
sease that can be reached through the
blood yields to this medicine. The
scrofulous affections Of the lungs that's
called consumption is one of them. For
this,an for every other form Of scrof-
ula, for all blood-taints and disorders,
and all chronic bronchial, throat, and
lung affections, the Discovery" is the
only remedy so certain that, once used,
it is always in favor.
Can anything else be "just as good"
for you to buy?
Don't you believe 1t.

LIKE A SIEVE.

The chief function of the kidneys is
to separate from the blood, in its pas
sage through them, of certain impurl-
ties and watery particles which make
their final exit through the bladder.
The retention of these, in consequence
of inactivity of the kidneys, is pro-
ductive of Bright's Disease, dropsy'
diabetis, albuminuria, and other mala-
dies with fatal tendency. Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, a highly sanctioned
diuretic and blood depurent, impels the
kidneys when inactive to renew their
Sitting function, and strain from the
vital current impurities which infest 1t
and threaten their own existence as
organs of the body. Catarrh OF the
bladder, gravel and retention of the
urine, are also maladies arrested or
averted by this benign promoter and
restorative of organic action Mala-
ria, rheumatism, constipation, bilious
ness, and dyspepsia also yield to the
Bitters, which is also speedily bene-
fetal to the weak and nervous.
