my boyhood / had known this country
well, but since gold had been struck in
the sugar business new roads had been
laid out, and as I had a four hours ride
in the semi darkness of a tropical night
before I could reach the plantation
house, it was thought best to secure me
against the risk of tumbling over the
"paIi'' or fording the river in the wrong
place by sending steady-going cid
native to take charge of me. 1t was not
long before I found myself under his
guardianship, my very much concen-
trated baggage upon a pack-horse be-
hind me, and my legs swinging in time
to the long lope of as pretty little mare
as had seen in many a long day. Now,
indeed, I felt myself at home, and in
my eager questioning of my companion
found even that few words of Ha-
waiian came back to me, while the soft,
slow vocables which he gave me in re-
turn grew more and more comprehensi-

Old Military Stupids.

'fWhat made you leave the army at
so early an age, with a fair record be-
hind you and so promising career in
front of you?" I once asked an officer,
whose chief defect was a pronenesS to
act on hot-headed impulse. The purport
of his reply was: "At my last inspec-
ticn 1 was questioned by the General
concerning the prices of soldiers socks
and shirts. I gave him to understand
that I neither knew nor cared, and of
course I was pretty sharply reprimand-
ed. I became so disgusted with this
and similar absurdities of regimental
pedantry that sent in for my papers. !"
The weary waste of time, the circum-
locutionary twaddle of the old military
correspondence was subject of bur-
lesque.
Once, as President of a board to
report on an accident to horse, l
simply stated that "the leg was broken"
and received rather sharp reprimand
for embodying an opinion in such triv-
iaI language. Thereupon I amended
the defect by suggesting that "the tibia
was fractured and was complimented
for the satisfactory lucidity of my re-
port. Tradition declares that in India
q similar board recorded an opinion
that "the elephant is dead and smells
bad" The General, in a towering pas
sion, sent back the proceedings for re-
vision, whereupon the board amended

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

"Mariposilla," by Mrs. Charles Stew
art Daggett. Rand, McNaIly & Co,
Chicago and New York. Cloth, 81 %.
This work is by a Southern California
writer The material is all American,
and there is no reaching afar for it.
When the exigencies of the story de-
mand that an American shall be set up
side by side with a foreigner to exhibit
his characteristics, 1t has been the rule
to ship him, his habits and his convic
tions to Europe, and there place him
amongst an alien people, amidst alien
surroundings, where his individual and
National traits will be the more brought
into relief by contrast But Mrs. Dag
gett has not felt compelled to such re-
| sort She has found enough of vigOr,
sweetness and activity here for the de-
velopment of her story. Mrs. Daggett
has breathed the breath of life into
"Mariposilla"; she has evoked a per-
sonaiity, not merely nodded a figure;
she has added one to the none too large
company of children of genius. Mari
posilla" Qittle butterfly is the daughter
of Spanish family which has wasted
from an old-time grandeur to compar-
ative poverty. How the ruin of the
family is completed by the falling of
Mariposilla-its last hope-into the
hands Of the enemy is told by Mrs. Dag
gett in her book. Her roue is an Ameri-
can of New York; her heroine-as Span
ish as if born in Castile-is of California.
On the Pacific Slope, to the music of the
peaceful ocean, embosomed in roses,
amidst orange groves and vineyards,
screened from the bustling world by the
Sierra Madre, the drama is enacted as
ardently as if the breezes that famed
the flame of passion had drifted off the
bosom of the Mediterranean, and the
shadows that chilled had fallen from
the Pyrenees. AS well as giving us
charming romance, Mrs. Daggett has
revealed to us the possibilities and the
poverty of our accomplishment. Her
book will be accepted by the general
public as picture representing casting
of pearls to swine and the reader will
rejoice in it's freshness of conception, its
rich coloring and delineation; he will
approve the purity of the jewel and ex-
ecrate the brute that trampled it in the
noisome mire. The critics should well
come to the ranks Of literature one who

T,rre ago. as IT seems to me, and yet
not so long as years are counted, was
confronted by a question to which I was
obliged to give an almost instantaneous
answer. but which, nevertheless, re-
raa4ps in my own mind still unanswered.
AGAIN and again have considered as to
tho chances of getting fair verdict, or
at least a consensus of opinion from
certain of my friends, but somehow my
courage has always failed me, while
still nv strange experience hangs as
burden of more or less weight on my
conscience. and 1 feel that merely to
fiji Il. to break the silence which have
always maintained in regard to IT,
would be a relief and perhaps do some
thing towards allaying the doubts
which have never ceased TO beset me.
Not that am, by any means, the pos
SCISSOR of an abnormaliy sensitive con-
science, but because my own little prob
lem stands for a much larger one,
might, indeed, be presented as an alb
stract proposition in ethics, and is not
therefore to be easily disposed of.

Hawaii, that most beautiful Of islands,
with its snow-capped volcanoes and
palm -fringed shores; but some years CT

given me fresh appreciation of its

for summer vacation ready to enjoy
to the utmost the half-civilized freedom

my programme included long antici-

Close Root Pruning in Tree Planting.

Last spring / tried root pruning with
peach trees in limited way, the soil
being very sandy loan, and the result
was so satisfactory that, in planting my
new orchard I shall reduce all the peach
tree roots to inch stubs. 1t is not nee
essary to say that possibly under other
conditions than such as exist at the
South, this system might not do so we'll;
it's advantages are 50 great when it will
do that it is worth the while of those
who have fruit trees to plant to try it in
small, experimental way. In pruning,
the cut should be made with sharp
knife, the cut sloping from the under
side Of the root toward it's point. The
cut end callouses, and from this callus
roots branch. 1t is claimed that these
new roots tend to grow at nearly right
angles to the cut surface, or downward,
while the tree planted with whole roots
extends it's roots more nearly in hori-
zontal line, where drouth can reach
GHem' DcSluoS JIG u0ePCl IoouS given.
it is further stated by those who have
tried this plan that the trees make a
more vigorous and uniform growth, and
that they are much more sure to grow.
Where the roots are close pruned, the
stem should also be cut down to about a
foot in length. When the ground is
prepared, the planting is done by simply
thrusting in spade, leaning it forward,
dropping in tie tree or vine behind it,
removing the spade, and treading down
the soil frmly.-Judd Pierce, of Ala

Money in Oanaigre.

1hVAOJ IL V"A"ASAN
Captain Jarvis Of the freight depart
ment and Mr. Ingraham of the land
department of the Florida East Coast
Railway have, after careful investiga-
ton, concluded that the lands of the
east coast of Florida are we'll adapted
to the cultivation of canaigre. They
now intend to secure few tons of
seed for distribution among those who
will try the experiment.. The following
is letter received by Captain Jarvis
from r. T. Keer of Manahans, Tex,
which is of interest to all who have given
the subject of canaigre culture thought:
Yours Of February 16 is received, and
in reply would say that l can furnish
you with selected seed root canaigre,
suitable for planting,in carload lots for
$40 per acre or $50 per ton, f. o. b. here.
One ton will plant more than three acres.
I shipped twelve tons to Orlando and it
planted forty-two acres. select the
seed root as close as possible, so as to re
duce the freight. The rate to Jacksonville
from here is 80 cents per 100 pounds.
"The yield in Florida last season on
my experimental patch was more than
ten tons per acre. 1 have just received
from Florida samples Of the growth up
to the 18th, showing wonderful develop
ment; fifteen tons is not improbable for
this season. refer to some that had
planted in w. K. Sturges' grove two
miles from Waldo. Not doubt exists
in my mind of the thorough success of
canaigre in the sandy soil of Florida.
The percentage of tannin is the highest
and the yield is the greatest that have
seen. have it growing with and with
out fertilizer. [ have many inquiries
for seed root from Florida. By planting
1000 acres between now and May next
sufficient seed root can be obtained to
plant from 10000 to Is, 900 acres by May,
1897, besides having $500 to $500 tons of
the prepared root for shipment, worth
$50 per ton f. o. b. at any of the ports in
Florida.
Il have had inquiries recently from
a number of the phosphate companies
of Florida for prices of seed root. /
shall be pleased to hear from you on this
matter, and if number of cars of seed
root are ordered I will make reduction
on price to get the enterprise well under
way. st. Augustine Correspondent

Shipping Vegetables.

Observation proves that inferior goods
will not bear the expenses Of long trans
portation. while superior, carefully hand
led trucks will generally bring reason
able price. In shipping potatoes, for in
stance, sweet or Irish, brush the pota-
toes, lay them evenly in new, clean
barrel, let them be of uniform size and
quality, and pack closely. Fasten clean
white cloth over them as a cover, and
either on this or the barrel place the
name Of the shipper with paint and date
of shipment. They will not jostle or
bruise, and their appearance will en-
nance their selling price. What is said
of potatoes will apply equally to all
other products.
In packing cabloages, put in nothing
but good, solid heads, pack as sOlidly as
possible, and they will not get bruised
in transportation.
Ship only nice. smooth, medium and
uniform sized cucum bers-no yellow or
whitened ones, and reject all ''nubbins. !"
Beets should be clean, sound and even
in size, 40 small ones, tied IN punches of
five, with part of the tops left on.
Of green onions, it is only medium
size, young and tender ones that are
wanted; they should be clean and wAite,
with, part, at least, of the tops left on,
and neatly tied in punches of four or
five.
Snap beans should be gathered when
the bean is about to form in the pod, be-
fore they become coarse, and should be
shipped cool and dry, for which purpose
it is we'll to spread them out for short
while before packing; place evenly
laver on bottom aud sides and top of
package; pack full and keep outspeckled
or rusty beans; their attractive appear
ance adds very materially to their sale.
When tomatoes are to go long dis
lance, they ought to be packed when
they begin to color; when near market,
they should be nearly ripe; they should
be Of even size and ripeness and packed
firmly, so that they will not shake and
become uised.-Exchange
