Too Much for Him,

Some small boys are said to have a
great horror of the bath-tub, and are
disposed to rebel whenever the time
comes for them to get into it. These at
least will appreciate the following an
ecdote, which we cut from an English
periodical:
"A young Scotchman at Aldershot
fell i'll, and was sent to the hospital A
bath was ordered. 1t was brought into
the chamber where the invalid lay. He
looked at it hard for some time, and

A pair of large brown owls of very
rare species have had their home In the
thick woods by the creek on our farm,
and for fifteen years, when the stars
shone resplendently during the long
winter nights, these hardy birds, warm-
~ clad in down and feathers. cheered
the passing hours with their strange,
solemn talk, understood only by them
selves. We had something like an at
tachment for these owls; they formed
the only surviving link OF wild nature
that connected the present with the past
years when the prairies north OF the
bills were unsettled and inhabited only

by the wild creatures that were in ths
full enjoyment of unbroken solitude.
Unfortunately the owls did not UNDER
stand the advancement Of settlement
and civilization, and attacked the tame
pigeons of a neighboring farmer, COM
mitting such depredations among the
doves that one of the birds of night was
shot for his misbehavior. The mate OF

my dear child, there are rules of
military etiquette and discipline which
we, as members of the military world,
should sacredly regard. In military
society, as in military discipline, the
lines must be sharply drawn. The men
of the ranks must be taught to feel
that the plane they occupy is beneath
the level Of those in Official life, else
there would be no respect for authori-
ty and military rules would be but
dead letters. While Edward Thornton

A Modern Crusoe.

Moody, Mays, Gonzalez, Lollo and Fay
returned yesterday from a hunting trip to
the Corkscrew River in the sloop Tantalus.
They hunted over radius of probably
twenty-five miles and came upon only one
habitation-that OF Norwegian named
Danielson, on Surveyors River. He was
shipwrecked at this point ten years ago,
and being charmed with the natural
beauty of the place decided to make a
home there. He has built a house from
driftwood and wreckage which has been
washed ashore. He selected veritable
earthly paradise as the site for his home.
The land is high, and around the house
is grove of monster live oaks, interspersed
with tall cabbage palms. Danielson has
planted a grove of 800 orange trees, which
are just now coming into bearing, and
also has nearly every other known variety
of tropical fruit tree and bush growing on
the place. The orange trees are described
as prodigious in size, and the foliage the
deep, dark green, indicative of great vigor.
The fruit now hanging on the trees is very
fine and bright. Danielson says the cold
wave of last February did not cause his
trees to shed leaf, and frost is almost
unknown there.-Tampa Daily Times.
