A Trip North.
Jacksonville, Fla .

Now that the summer season is upon
us, and many of our people are think
ing of going North, either on business or
pleasure, why not consult your comfort
when you are looking into the matter of
transportation or, in other words, LAS
we journey Through life, let US live b.
the way"
1t has been the writer's good fortune
to make several trips to New York over
the Clyde Line from Jacksonville, and
| have no hesitancy in recommending
this elegant line to our people, The
ships are certainly as fine as any one
could wish, and the state-rooms are COM
modious, cool and airy. All modern I'M.
provements and appliances are used on
! the Clyde ships The meals served are
simply elegant, and there is nothing in
the markets too rich for the CLYDE
| tables.
A sea trip is just the thing during the
heated term, as it both invigorates and
reiuveates the entire system.
Before making final arrangements
about your trip North, it would be we'll
to get particulars from the Clyde Line
Agent in Jacksonville, and if you enjoy
the trip like the writer of this article
has several of them. you will never regret
having taken the trip on the deep blue
sea.

ing the inlet of the spout near the bot
tom of the receiver, is forced by the
weight of the oil through the spout, and
having done it's work, is seen no more.
1t does not take long for all the oil to be
extracted from thankful of mint, but
in the meantime the other tank has
been filled. By simple device the
steam is transferred from one tank to
the other, and the new mint is treated
in the same way. Fitting nicely into
each tank is an iron rim with cross
bars. When the mint is put in, these
are at the bottom. After the oil is ex-
tracted, the crane is swung around and
rope running through a pulley is at
tached to the two iron rods on each side
Of the tank inside. connected with the
rim, a windlass attached to the crane
raises the rim and the tightly packed
it energies resembles an enormous loaf
of Boston brown bread. BY means of
the crane it is swung clear of the tank
and loaded on wagon. 1t is spread In
the field, allowed to dry, and makes an
excellent feed for stock
AS last as the oil is dipped from the
receiver it is placed In twenty-pound
cans 1t is then stored away until the
peppermint buyer makes his annual
visit.
The oil when pure is almost colorless.
able to those accustomed to it, 1t is
very penetrating, aud the cans in which
it is shipped are made in the best posi-
BILE manner to prevent leakage. 1t has
a powerful aromatic taste. Weeds of
ten injure the flavor of the oil by be-
coming mixed with the mint in the
field.
There are great many people who
raise mint who do not own "Still. !"
and who have their distilling done by
their neighbors. The price paid for the
work is generally twenty cents per
pound.
Peppermint raising was introduced in
Michigan in 1855, and in 1858 there
were about 2, 100 acres under cultivation
and 100 distilleries, yielding Is, 900 pounds
of oil annually.
1t seems to be the general opinion of
experienced mint growers that pepper
mint should be planted as early as posi-
BILE in the spring. Most of the planting
is done in April in Michigan.
1t is said that those who work at a
'still" are always healthy and never
troubled with headache or nervousness.

cure sunstroke, SO John Chinaman says.

TIRED WOMEN.
The Housewife, the Farmer, and the
TOilers of all Vacations.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is a fertile
source of blood impurities. That tired
feeling, which is the natural result of
the depressing effect of warm wealth
er Immediately after the invigorating
cold Of winter, quickly disappears
when Pe-1u-na is taken. Thousands
are daily testifying to its priceless
benefit. General lassitude, dull,
heavy sensations, continual tired feel
ings, with irregular appetite, and
sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na
meets every indication and proves it
self to be perfectly adapted to all their
varied peculiarities. Pe-ru-na invig-
CRATES the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite,
and procures regular sleep.
This tired-out feeling is especially
true of the housewife in spring time
used up, Jagged out, jaded, and weak
There are thousands of them every
where. A few bottles of Pe-ru-na
would do them untold benefit. AS a
tonic and nerve invigorator it has no
equal. 1t builds up the nerves, it
gives strength to the circulation, and
at once restores the appetite and di-
gestion. No feeble woman should be
without Pe-ru-na.

A QUACK DOCTOR.

In 1887 Grover Cleveland issued hi.
celebrated tariff reform" trade
prescription. He pictured in gilt
tering generalities the beauties Of
revenue reform and went into costa.
cies over the succulent GLOVER" to be
found in the markets of the world.
The people regarded his as a false
prophet-a quack-and retired him
to the placid waters of Buzzards Bay.
The revenue laws were reformed
on protective lines and the prosperity
of the country, which had been phe-
nomenal for quarter Of a century,
continued to grow and expand. A
campaign of education" was inaug-
urated and the tin plate liar was sent
through the length and breadth of the
land to disseminate free trade theories.
The ruse succeeded and Cleveland
was again elected. The next day it
showed. Little mattered it if the peo-
pie were chilled to the heart. Bust
ness was paralyzed. The Stuffed
Prophet said it is silver which is caus-
ing this illness of the body polite.
The people are using too much silver.
We will try the gold cure. But the
remedy failed. Then it was the
robber tariff" The prescribed rene
dy was administered 1t was a nau-
Seous dose but it was finally forced
into the esophagus of the body polite
and proved to be a vile emetic. 1t
was decidedly worse than the gold
cure and the two combined utterly
Frustrated the patient.
Not content with past failures, he
has written another prescription of
which gold is the sole ingredient. 1t
does not so express the fact in plain
United States but gold, nothing but
gold, may be read between the lines.
One would suppose that after so
many failures decent regard for the
opinions Of mankind would constrain
him to desist, but such appears to be
his pertinacity that nothing will avail
except to discharge him and call an
other. This will be done at the ear
lest possible moment and a mem
Der OF the old and regular school will
diagnose the case and prescribe the
sure and safe remedies of Protection
and Bimetallism.
