The Jacksonville Metropolis says there
is great activity at Clear Water. in Flor
ida. where the Plant system is building
a splendid hotel. Two hundred and fifty
men are at work upon the building and
grounds. The Miami Metropolis says its
town has grown 'since the 18th Of last
May, when the railroad reached the
town. to be a city with over 400 regis
tered voters, and population Of 1000"
These are minor incidents in the progress
Of Florida. But they show very plainly
what the railroads are doing for the state
Nevertheless, there are politicians in
Florida who devote the majority of their
time and all of their talents to the de-
vising of ways and means to harass the
railroads.

Victoria and California were both

however, an undoubted claim to the
first position in this respect Gold was
first discovered in California in Colonel
Suffers mill race, 1S4S. The produc-
ton for 1S49 was So, 900, 900; IL jumped
up the following year to 500, 900, 900,
and reached its maximum in 1853 at
$50, 900, 900. By July, 1S49, there were
5000 Mexicans and Chileans on the
spot, and before the end of the year 49,
900 Americans and 5000 foreigners
were working at the diggings Gold
was discovered at Ballarat, Victoria. in
August, 1S51-that is, two years later
than i'll California-and the rush to
Australia resulted in yield of gold
which quite eclipsed that furnished by
the western state. The second years
mining, 1862, yielded no less than
S16S, 600, 000-that is, larger sum than
had been made during any one of the
four years in which the California mines
had climbed to their greatest annual
production. 1t is estimated that the lat
ter have yielded 500, 600, 600 and that
no less than 81, $50, 900, 900 has been
obtained from Victoria.

Though very red lips do not follow us
into old age, we can at least keep them
fresh and attractive looking all our
lives. To do this great care must be
taken to remain in perfect health and
also to attend to any little ailment Of
the lips as soon as it is noticed. Too
much sitting over the fire and too little
outdoor exercise are fatal to the beauty
of the lips.
Very pale colored lips, Of course,
show that the possessor is much out Of
health, usually suffering from bloodless-
ness. Strong iron tonnes should be taken,
plenty of milk drunk and outdoor exer-
else freely INDUCED in. The diet should
be generous, and the rooms we 1.-Two in
and sleep in should be most carefully
ventilated by night as we'll as by day.
AS the health improves the color will
return to the lips
The lips should also never be rubbed
with strong scent, such as eau de cologne
Svinegar or lemon. Friction is also
Very bad for their well being. Lips may
only be pale pink (red lips are consti-
tutional), but if they are smooth and
soft they will look attractive.

1 How the Chinese Identify Criminals

The method taken by the Chinese to
identify their important criminals is to
take an impression Of the balls of their
thumbs This is done by pressing the
thumb on slab covered with a film of
printers ink, and then pressing it on a
piece of white paper. Their idea is that
all arts of the features may change, but
the thumb never can, and they say that
their method affords much more easy
and certain means of Identification than
our plan of taking the criminals por-
trait

Blankets are a difficulty to many pco-

should be washed. In many houses they
are only washed once a year; but some
how that does seem rather too rare a
proceeding. On the other hand, it is
really not necessary TO have them washed
more than twice year; but they must
have proper care in the interval in the
shape Of airing, shaking, etc. A wash
ing machine is very good for the pur-
pose, especially as they should never be
rubbed by the hand. The water should
be only lukewarm, and a little soap
well lathered in the water is all that
will be required. Wiring the blankets
very dry through a wringer, shake them
out, and wash again in the same way,
wringing each time, until they are quite
clean. Do not rinse them, but pull them
into shape and hang them out in the
sun, which is great help to preserving
good color.

The letter al" has not always been
dotted, for Dissraeli, i'll detecting lit

At this time, however, the dot over the

doubled or in juxtaposition with "u. I"
In the twelfth century the accent was &C.
