How the Presidents Died.

George Washington-His death was
the result of a severe cold contracted
while riding around his farm in rain
and sleet storm on Dec. 10, 1899. The
cold increased and was followed by q
chill, which brought on acute laryn-
gifts. His death occurred on Dec. ID,
1899. Hewa 68 years of age.
John Adams He died from old age,
having reached his 91st milestone.
Though active mentally, he was nearly
blind and unable to hold pen steady
enough to write. He passed away
without pain on July 4, 1926.
Thomas Jefferson HE died at the
age Of SO, few hours before Adams,
on July 4, 1926. His disease was
chronic diarrhea, superinduced by old
age, and, his physician said, the too
free use Of the waters of the White
Sulphur Springs.
James Madison-He, too, died Of
old age, and peacefully, on June %.
1886. His faculties were undimmed
to the last. He was IS.
James Monroe-At the time of his
death, which occurred in the 73d year
of his age. on July 4, 1881, it was as
signed to no other cause than enfee-
bled health.
John Quincy Adams-He was strick-
en- with paralysis on Feb. 81, 1848,
while addressing the speaker Of the
house Of representatives, being at that
time member of congress. He died
in the rotunda Of the capitol. Hewas
81 years Of age.
Andrew Jackson-He died on June
8, 1s45, 78 years old. He suffered
from consumption, and finally dropsy
made its appearance about six months
before his death.
Martin Van Buren-He died on Ju-
ly "a, 1862. from violent attack Of
asthma, followed by catarrhal affec-
tions of the throat and lungs. He
| was so years Of age.
William Henry Harrison-The cause
of his death was pleurisy, the result
Of q cold, which be caught on the day
of his Inauguration. This was accom-
panied by severe diarrh@a, which
would not yield 70 medical treatment.
His death occurred on April 4, 1841,
month after his Inauguration. He
was SO years Of age.
John Tyler-He died on Jan. II,
1862, at the age Of 72. I have been
unable to ascertain the cause Of his
death.
Zachary Taylor-He was the second
President to die in Office. He is said
to have taken immoderately Of ice
water and iced milk, and then later a
quantity Of cherries. The result was
an attack of cholera morbus. Another
authority attributes his death to a
| severe cold. The former seems the
more likely. he was 66 years old.

Hemp Growing in Florida.

hemp UTOWlnS ID flOrlQa.
I have read with much interest
your correspondents statement of
the practicability and proftableness
of growing sugar cane in Florida,
and [ desire to state what believe
to be the facts as to the practicable
ity of growing hemp. Not sisal
hemp, but China hemp, a plant, the
fiber of which may be used in it's
coarser grades for bagging and fin
er quality for course cordage, and a
still finer for fine cordage, and shoe
threads, and get a still finer product
for linen manufacture, as by present
admirably adapted to hemp-growing.
have been growing hemp in Mis-
sissippi for the past three years, and
L believe it the coming crop, to take
the place of so much cotton. Hemp
will give a ton of fiber to an acre,
$40 to $3.50 per acre, at a cost of $50
to produce, and will give a very much
stronger fiber and one from which a
much more valuable product may be
made.
AS a simple way to prove these
things, [ suggest the planting of an
acre of hemp in each of several
places and on several kinds of soil.
The expense per acre for this expert
menting will be the blowing and har-
rowing and seeding, the seed costing
$3.50 per acre.
If the soil is reasonably fertile,
hemp should grow IS feet in 80 days
if sown in March. AS it is ready to
cut in 60 to 80 days, according to
time of sowing, two or three crops
year may be grown or alternated
with cow peas.-S. S. Boyce in Flor
ida Citizen.

device by the use of which
the steam that is often allowed
to go to waste when loco
motive is standing at a way station
taking wood or water, can be utiliz-

is customary, at most large stations,
to have a stationary engine and
steam pump for raising the water,
but the inventor claims by am ar
arrangement this cost of fuel is saved,
while the cost of adding the i'm
provement will be less than the cost
of the pumping arrangement now in
use.
