Former European Lions.

Tho best authority for the ancient
haunts of the European lions Is the gos-
siping traveller Pausanias. This natural
history note is imbedded in q long cata-
logue Of the trophies and records of ath-
letic victories at the Olympian games,
which he saw in the great temple on the
plains of Ellis. There stood monument
to Polydamas.
"He was the strongest man of our
days" says Pausanias, stronger than
any man except those who have always
been considered as gods and heroes.
Among other feats, he initiated Hercules
by killing lion, unarmed. The noun
tain region c" Thrace, he adds, "south of
tho river Nostus, which flows through the
territory of the Alderites, produces many
other large wild animals, and also lions.
So many are bred there that in ancient
days they attacked the camels Of Xerxes'
army, when marching to attack Greece,
and killed numbers Of them. These lions
especially frequent tho district below
Mount Olympus, one side of which is in
Thrace and the other in Macedonia, and it
was on this very mountain that Polydamas
killed large and very fierce lion.
Though the lion has disappeared, the
other three carnivorous creatures most fire.
quently mentioned by classical writer's
the bear, the wolf and the lynx-are still
inhabitants of Europe and arc found from
the arctic circle to the shores of southern
Spain. OF these the lynx seems to be
about to disappear from the Swiss forests,
but is still common in Spain, Portugal,
the Carpathians and tho Swedish woods.
1t can hardly be classcd as dangerous, ex-
cept that, ike the cat, its habit is to sit
perfectly still if discovered, and, if wound
ed, to sprinr straight at the aggressor' q
head. London Spectator

perfect preservation, while tho reverse is
true of the copper coin. The lattar, being
cheap and common, are not boarded and

precious bits of metal, but arc exposed to

line of small manufactures that are too
tedious to mention.
The wagon and buggy builder can sell
all the vehicles that he can make, no
matter what is the size of plant, if he
makes them as we'll and cheap as they
do anywhere.
We thus conclude that while the
farmer and fruit-grower has the best
chance for the means required there is
room for all kinds of people, and no fear
of want for any one who will try to live
in the good State of Florida.
Above all, we have climate and at
atmosphere that gives health and vigor
to nearly all classes and ages.
To those who come and live honestly,
there is a hearty welcome and bright
future, for, If they work and wait, for

The Vanilla Bean Not a Bean.

The so-called vanilla bean is not
bean at all, as is well known, but the
fruit of climbing orchid, vanilla plan
ifolia, the capsule or the pod of which is
about three-eights of an inch in dame
ter and from six to ten inches long, and
has a certain resem blance to the So
called Catalpa bean. The plant in it's
native home, in Mexico and tropical
America, climbs over trees and shrubs
by means of slender rootlets sent out
from the joints of the stem. 1t it not
true epiphyte, however, but always
maintains it's connection with the soil.
In it's wild state it climbs to height of
twenty feet, but in cultivation it is kept
within bounds, So that the unripe pods
are not inj ured when the others are
gathered.-GArden and Forest.

Possibilities of the South.

In view of the trend of public atten-
ton to the South as a desirable place to
settle in and build up, we give the fol-
lowing facts showing the capacity of the
South for large increase in her popu-
lation.
The area of the South is slightly in
excess of 100000 square miles. Her
is little over 22,00O,OO0.
If the South were as densely populated

It Pays To Fence Hogs.

For a long time [ have seen great
many pieces headed "Razorbacks, but
not one piece about hog worth raising.
Those who have dealt with razorbacks
can see how much time and money they
have lost, if they will only read up a
little and see the value Of good stock
taken care of. Last May l received
pair of pigs about two months old,
weighing 40 and ~ pounds. | weighed
them on the Goth of September, and the
SOW, seven months old, weighed 23S
pounds, and the boar, six months and
three weeks old, weighed 241 pounds.
Now, how does this compare with the
razorbacks running at large Of course,
the owner of them says: "Well, our hogs
don It cost US anything," Perhaps not,
for they are living off their neighbors'
field.
During the corn season this year, a
drove of the little things seven months
old took my field, which was enclosed
with an eight-wire fence, and lived in
it about a month. When frightened
they would go through that fence with
out any trouble. They destroyed more
corn than they were worth and did not
get fat, either. My pigs have been kept
in an enclosure all the time and can be
kept in good condition and grow fast
on one-third the cost of a razorback.
Of course it does not pay to keep the
razorback up, but it does pay to have
good hog and take care of 1t. My pigs
have never attempted to go through
six-wire fence. While expect to raise
hogs, i am still in favor of the "nO-fence"
law, as | will be saved about one-third
the fencing in of my hogs that it will
take to keep out others. These hogs
have meyer been sick day while cholera
was all over the country. They are
also free from all insects. While the
'no-fence" law is so highly agitated
| thought it a good time to give the
public my personal, though short ex-
perience with better stock of hogs.
Let those who wish to raise hogs give
them trial, and they will also be con-
WINGED that it pays to fence the hogs in
stead of the ops.-Newton w. Weaver
in Barlow Courier Informant.

as Ohio, her population would reach
82,OOO,0O0
If as densely settled as New York,
her population would be 100000.
If as densely settled as Massachusetts,
her population would be $50, 100000.
If as densely populated as England, her
popula ton would be O,O0O, 600. If as
densely settled as Belgium, her popula-
ton would be 500,0OO,000.
Nature has not given any of these
places any better endowment than the
South.
An era Of industrial advancement has
just now begun in the South, and the
end of the decade will doubtless show
population of 40,OOO,OO0 people, and her
rapid development will be a marvel.

gets for crate. Your frame may be
built in the yard and with shelves upon
which to put the pots, one above the
other as high as you can reach con-
veniently, so that an ordinary sized room
will hold enough to pick crate day.
1t is only frame made with posts and
wire or Stats to keep the fowls out, and
the shelves or benches may be just wide
enough for man to pass between and
only high enough for the plants to grow
under the next one above, and in this
way large number of plants can be
grown in very small frame. If posts
are too expensive boxes may be used.
Or to be even more economical, troughs
may be dug out of trees the full length
of the frame and set one above the other
and filled with earth and plants set in
them. They must be frequently watered
To those who have seen the system of
farming in Ireland, or England, or any
of the European countries, or in the best
market gardens near our home cities, it
will be easy to grasp our meaning as to
the proper methods in Florida But
with knowledge of the best successes
ever achieved in any country, we can
say that none are superior to what may
be done easily, on any farm in Florida,
if the same effort and intelligence is ap-
piled.
But there is another point in favor of
Florida; people require so much less to
eat and wear than elsewhere, that it
makes vast difference in ones savings
Such supplies as are TO be bought will
cost as much here as in any other State;
but so little of the expensive things are
needed that one will be surprised at the
cheapness of living here. No winter to
speak of leaves out coal aud wood as an
item of cost. The farmer may cut his
wood, but it takes Time to do it, and
time is money. His stock has the bene-
fits; no cold to fight against and no need
of costly barns for shelter.
The principle that applies to every
question of economy is more strongly
applicable to life in Florida than in
any other State. We travel North for
one cent per mile, and the reason is that
on railroads there the trains pass every
few minutes and all are filled; while
here trains only run twice or
three times in twenty-four hours
and tracks and cars cost as much here
as there; therefore, a railroad in Florida
is like business that only runs few
hours day and is idle the rest Of the
time. How would any mill or factory
that only runs four hours out of the
twenty-four pay9 So with the farmer
who has only six months to grow crops
and then six months of consuming eX-
pense to keep warm, can never compare
with the farmer who has twelve months
to grow crops and no winter to consume
what he produces. AS to the professions
they are we'll filled in Florida, but in
law and dentistry, there is always room
here at the top.
Physicians are the only class who
cannot improve their finances in Flor
ida, but they can greatly improve their
health and comfort. AS to mechanics
and manufacturers, there is in every
community an opening for them, espec-
