cept Money for Their Works.
 This is true of Count Lyof Nikol aievitch Tolstoi, the famous Russian author, who, while in the army as member of the staff of Prince Gorts- chakoff, was present at the storming of Sebastopol in 1855. Leaving the army, and already famous poet and novelist, he devoted himself to liter ature, and spent short time in the most brilliant literary and social circles of St. Petersburg. Since his retirement, and during the Russian famines of 1891 and 1892 made great efforts on behalf of the peasants on and in the vicinity of his estates. Tn the latter year Count Tolstoi resigned all social standing and privileges of his rank, and he now devotes most of his time and money to good works, while living as poorly as any of the peasan- try. He insists that the literal inter- pretation of the Sermon on the Mount is the only rule of Christian life, and he has expressly declined to avail him. self of any copyright in his works or in translations of them into other languages. Dr. John Charles Kyle, bishop of Liverpool, has written above two hundred tracts on religious sub jects, many of which have been trans lated and reprinted in French, Ger man, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Hindostani, and Chinese, and it is said that he will take nothing from the publishers for them and will make no profit from them.

suits but not so. The potatoes we're one
fourth smaller, and no more of them.
Where the potatoes had been irrigated
once early and then left so that now the
potatoes are being dug from almost dry
sand, they are turning Out the best. The
potato is solid and shows no signs of
sprouting.
On the part which has been watered
frequently the vines look finely, and wher-
ever hill is in bloom the potatoes are
starting to grow so that they will have to
be dug at once. Our experience has dem
onstrated that Irish potatoes can be grown
and made to yield good crop on our high
pine land if planted early, fertilized and
covered with plenty of trash. Our yield
this year is about twelve barrels of pota-
toes for one of seed planted.
Potatoes that are intended for shipment
north should be dug and handled with
care so as not to break any more of the
skin than is possible, for the appearance
of the potatoes on the market has good
deal to do with the SALE They can be
shipped in bushel crates or barrels. If
-four barrels are used they should be
thoroughly washed out, dried, and holes
cut in the side for ventilation. Only the
best should be sent to market as the freight
and express rates are too high to pay to
ship any but the best The smaller ones
can be saved for planting next fall or for
use at home. To keep them put in dark
place where there is plenty of ventilation.
In this way we have kept the spring crop
of potatoes to the next January. They
will need to be examined frequently, for
any potato that has been damaged is very
likely to rot, and of course will rot others
next to it.

IRISH POTATOES.

Those who for the first time are raising
a crop of Irish potatoes are somewhat sur
prised at the way they act" To look at
the vines one would suppose there would
be an abundant yield. but for some reason
the size of the tops is no criterion as to the
size and numbers of tubers below. Where
they we're planted early enough the dry
weather of April is benefit to make them
ripen evenly, for where they have plenty
of moisture the vines continue to grow and
the potatoes in the ground also sprout and
make start for themselves. Our own
experience this year has been quite sur
prise to us as to the amount of water re-
quired to make potatoes. Part of our
patch was so located that it was irrigated
frequently during the season. and at no
time did the ground go thoroughly dry.
Here we naturally expected the best re-

The society has no other revenue except
that derived from membership dues and
the sale of its year book Anyone who is
interested in Florida horticulture or agri-
culture is eligible to membership, and as
the dues amount to but one dollar per
year, which carries with it a copy Of the
annual publication. it seems that member

almost every citizen in the state.
The membership of the society now ex
ceeds three hundred, and the increase has
been rapid during the past two or three
years. We hope that the membership will
be increased to at least thousand during
the next five years, as this would vastly in
crease the usefulness of the organization.

NINTH ANNUAL MEETING,

In another column of this issue appears
the secretary's call for the ninth annual
meeting of the Florida State Horticultural
Society to convene in Jacksonville on the
9TH proximo.

horticulturists in the state, and as meet

year it was said that the work of the So
ciety would be suspended for several years
as the orange trees and their cultivation
would cut but small figure in Florida
sequent events and the eighth annual con-
vention Of the society that assembled soon
after proved the fallacy of this idea. The
meeting in question was one of the most
interesting the society ever held, and the
papers read and afterwards published were
of great advantage to the orange growers
who were engaged in the work of rebuild
ing groves. The meeting to be held next
month will doubtless be of equal interest
for the reason that the members will re-
port progress and give their ideas as to the
best plan for the continuance of the work
We have hoped against hope that the
state would give this society the proper
recognition, and make an appropriation to
defray at least the expense of publishing
the year book. Such recognition is given
societies of like character in other states,
and it seems strange that state that de-

THE AMERICAN JINGO.

There is no gainsaying the proposition
that the drift of public sentiment is
towards the solution of great international
controversies in the peaceful and bloodless
courts of arbitration. This is but the
natural sequence of a higher civilization,
the not unexpected evolution from the days
of barbarism, when might made right, to
the higher and more enlightened plane we
now occupy.
Bloody wars seeking for the solution of
some international problem would be as
abnormal to our present environments as
the code duelo of a quarter of a century
agone.
The jingo has his place in American
politics, and he fills it, and it is equally
true that he fills his countrymen with a
full measure of disgust. So called patriot
ism that bubbles and froths in the halls Of
congress just prior to congressional cleo
ton is not the kind that will stand the
clear search-light of public opinion, when
this opinion is not unduly warped and
biased by excitement. The true patriot,
while he is quick to resent an insult to the
nation, ever ready to maintain its rights.
will not until every other resource has been
exhausted for settlement rush his country
into bloody war.
Our jingoes have had happy time dur
ing the past few months-they have
twisted the lions tail and thrown defiance
and much strong language in the face of
the naughty Spaniard The result has
been bloodless, but with less deliberate
and determined pilot in charge of the ship
of state it might have been otherwise. We
believe the contention of the jingoes as a
rule has been plausible; we think that
right was on our side in these international
contentious, and we do not say that war or
anything else that was honorable should
not have been resorted to rather than re.
linquish an iota of our rights in the pre-
mises-but we claim that these lingo
vaporings were out of place and uncalled
for. The same results could have been
accomplished in other ways and the friend

GRAPES ON THE EAST COAST.

A ST. Augustine correspondent of the
Citizen writes:
&c. C. Trash, of the firm Of Trash & Co.
of New York, wine-growers and manufac
turers of American champagne, and E.
Dubois, owner of the San Luis grape plan
tation near Tallahassee, have returned to
this city from prospecting tour through
the Biscayne Bay country. In conversa-
ton with the Citizen representative this
morning, Mr.. Trash said that the result of
the trip left no doubt in his mind as to the
adaptability of the lands along the lower
east coast for grape culture. Mr.. Trash
has had much experience in this industry.
He is the pioneer grape-grower of South
ern California. He visited that state in
1868 and found nothing but a cattle coun-
try. In 1860 he went to Fresno, in the
San Joaquin valley, and planted the first
vineyard in that part of the state. He and
his associates made a success of it, and
those who laughed at the venture when it
was first launched lost no time in following
the footsteps Of the pioneer.
"Mr. Flash says that the capacity for
grape-culture along the New River, and
farther down in the neighborhood Of Mi
ami River and along the banks of Biscayne
Bay, cannot be estimated. This, he says,
in not an indication that grapes can be
cultured on all of the lands, but it is suf
fcient evidence that the industry can be
made a success if undertaken by expert
enced men.
'Mr. Trash made this statement, and it
was corroborated by Mr.. Dubois that no
Foreign grape can be cultivated success
fully anywhere on the east side of the
Rocky Mountains 1t would seen on the
surface that this would exclude the cultiva-
ton Of grapes anywhere along the east
coast, but fortunately such is not the case
Both Mr.. Trash and Mr.. Dubois agree that
there are many varieties CT choice Euro
pean grapes that can be cultivated along
the east coast, but IN every instance the
different varieties that may be found to be
adapted to the lower east coast must be
grated to the wild or native root. Botan.
lists have discovered the presence of the
phylloxera in all vineyards east of the
Rocky Mountains in which European va
rieties of grapes are cultivated The rea-
son for this is that the microbe finds the
wood of the imported stock suited to its
taste. On the other hand, it has been dis
covered that when the imported stock has
been grated to the native root, it has
Aourished The wild stock is not sweet
enough for the delicate palate of the phyl-
loxera, and for this reason both Mr. Trash
and Mr. Dubois advise all who contem.
plate grape culture along the east coast of
Florida to select locations where the wild
grape thrives and graft what varieties that
are found adapted to the climate of the
wild or native stock.

Biscayne Bay for the purpose of invest
