What Can I Do in Florida to Make a

answer is, that Florida is, of all states,

portion of his own work, ought ever to
own more than ten acres Of land in Flor
ida. If he grows to such position as
will enable him to own and cultivate
more, then he can buy is as he wants 1T,
and do so with a full knowledge of what
he is buying as we'll as what he wants.
Florida soil is peculiar in this, in that
it is hot-bed, already prepared for use,
in high culture. 1t needs no glass, but
must be used and treated as the hot
house is used and cultivated. 1t must
haye fertilizers, and not moist by nat
ur.l location, or when season is dry,
it must have water supplied, in order to
reach the best and safest results. If
these things are supplied intelligently,
there is no failure of CROPS. We need
not say that only semitropical crops can
be grown, everybody knows that. But
corn and cotton can be more profitably
raised in most of the State than in any
other.
Tobacco will ultimately be standard
crop, and a very profitable one. But
fruit and vegetable culture, with pOul-
try raising and dairy farming, coupled
with fine stock raising, is the best for
every intelligent farmer; but the stock
raising must be done on the same scale
as the farming; that is to say raise few
of the best blooded strains from the
stock kept for home use. A first class
mich cow, worth 500, is as easily
raised by the t~rmer who is running a
dairy, as a scrub worth 500. A blooded
pig worth ten to fifteen dollars is as
reasonably and cheaply raised as IRA
zor back" not worth having. So with
all kinds of stock and poultry, only the
best is worth having. But some one
will say, do not understand gardening
and trucking and want to raise general
crops: Well, can you raise sweet and
Irish potatoes? If you can, you can
make more to the hand, with either, than
any corn or cotton planter. With proper
culture it is easy to raise 400 bushels OF
vans or 200 of Irish potatoes to the acre
then five acres will pay about 1925 to
the acre, or 5000 per annum for these sin
gle crops, and one hand will cultivate it.
But you may make two, and even three
crops on Florida land. If you want to

A Plea For the R1Oorner.

women and men had dressed differ
emily from the beginning of the

site is just the case. In Rome and
Greece the two sexes Wore the same
style of hong garment, of which the
toga is the best known representative
The Arab men and women alike wear
the same hood and clinging robes.
The Turkish trousers of Turkish wom-
ell have been famous for years. They
are the same as the mens-the same
as Zouave trousers. In Japan the XII
mono is worn by male and female
alike. In China and Korea the women
wear coats and trousers the same as
their husbands. Tie Malay peoples
use the sarang irrespective of sex.
The suit Of the vivandiere is almost
| exactly that Of her regiment Joan
Of Arc and the fighting ladies of the
age OF chivalry wore the same armor
as the knights. The uniforms of the
religious orders of the past and Of
many to-day are the same for monk,
and nun, brother and sister. The robe
Of the churchman is survival from

Old Wine in English Houses

People scarcely realize how large an
amount of fine, rare wines and spirits
lies hidden in old country hostelries.
Outside London few people care for
any but sweet wines, and on this ac-
count clarets and dry champagne of
great age and fine flavor are often to
be found. l know a small hotel whose
name wild horses shall not drag from
me, situated not many miles from one
side of the New Forest. I found my
self there once on fishing expedition,
and made friends with mine host, a
typical lnnkeeper, whose red face and
extensive width betokened good living.
We talked about wine and he Do
duced some of the finest claret 1 ever
wish to taste. 1t had been in his GEL
lars as long as he remembered. He
also showed me some curiously sealed
bottles of Hollands, undeniably old.
A connoisseur would have taken I'D
his abode there for good, and would
have been well rewarded.
l have made very similar discoveries
in Kent and Sussex. All these wines
probably belong to an age before adul-
teration became a fine art, and long
keeping has, made them perfect. No
body among the natives cares. for
them, and Boniface usually keeps the
supply for the benefit of favored Wis

New Use for Electricity.

There seems to be no end to The
enormous forward strides of electric
ity in all of it's uses, but the advance
it has made as Il motive power here in
Chicago within eighteen months have
been almost revolutionary. Two wears
ago an elevated railroad run by cleo
tricity ut the worlds fair was a curl
osity. Ten miles OF elevated road are
now operated daily in this city with
electricity, and plans are afoot to use
that motive power Oh all the 81 roads
OF the city. Scarcely has the public
become aware of those plans until it
trlnspires that the Illinois Central is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of running
it's suburban trains by electricity. If
this road should adopt the electric
fluid and discard steam on it's subur-
ban service there seems every reason
to believe that the experience Of all
other expe1menters in that direction
would be repeated; that the economy
Of electric over steam propulsion on
this line as on elevated and street car
Lines would induce other roads to
abandon the steam locomotive and
adept the electric motor. In hundreds
Of less evident ways electricity has
Supplanted steam as a motive power.
Elevators, printing presses and all
kinds of small machines are driven by
it all over the city.
This revolution in motive power is
of enormous significance to the whole
people of a city like Chicago. About
half the offenses of such a city come
from the use of steam. Steam means
smoke, noise, cinders, gases, waste
Uttered grounds. Electricity can be
conducted and applied unknown to the
senses of sight, hearing and smell. It's
general adoption on the railroads
would involve an immense gain in
cleanliness for the city. II is could be
! produced in properly constructed cen
trail stations and applied to all the
wheels now turned by steam Chicago
would instantly become almost new
city.-Chicago News.
