The Campaign of Fried,and.

The campaign of Friedland shows
either less genius or more than any
other of Napoleon s victories, accord
ing to the standpoint from which it
is judged. If he is to be regarded
throughout its duration merely as a
general, then his conduct shows
comparatively little ability. He
came on his enemy where he did not
expect battle, although he had am
pie time to evolve and execute an ad-
mirable plan, and his loss was tri-
fling compared with that of his op-
ponents; yet, nevertheless, Friedland
was commonplace, incomplete af-
fair. 1t compelled the foe to aban-
don Heilsberg, but it did not annihi.
late him or necessarily end the war.

Sometimes Cautious In Investing.

: Shrewd fishermen do not always
know what kind of pole is best. This
thought is suggested by the remark
Of the late Peleg Washburn, the man
who gave soldiers monuments to
Abbot and Foxcroft. A Dexter bank
official approached Washburn, who
was we'll known to be a man of
means, with a suggestion that it
would be good thing for him to
put some of his money into western
mortgages, which bore high rate
of interest. The old man scratched
his pate for a moment and then
blurted out "I don't like to fish
with such long pole" The force
of the metaphor and of the incident
is heightened when it is remembered
that Washburn was one of the easy
victims of Judge Hale of Foxcroft
and loaned him $4,000 on his
"town" notes. Perhaps in that case
the fish pole was too short for safe
ty.-Lewiston Journal.

A common thing is grass blade small,
Crushed by the feet that pass,
But all the dwarfs and giants tall,
Working till doomsday shadows fall,
Can't make a blade of grass.

But all earth's workmen, laboring,

Weaving melodies, link by link.
The whole sweet summer long?
Commonplace is a bird alway,

But all the engines of earth, l say,

Never could make bird.

called a series of open meet

What Government Ownership
Has Done.

Great Britain, in 1889 had $4,000
miles of wire, while the Western
Union in the same year had 647,697;
vet the latter sent fewer messages
than the former. In countries
where the government operates the
telegraph it has been proven that
the rates are scarcely one-half what
they are in this country. The
United States is the only country
where the telegraph is not part OF
the postal system, and if the gov
eminent controlled here the rates
could be reduced more than one
half and the system be se1f-sus-

ed down to an inch or so above the
starting point. These, of course,
had to make fresh start, and the
scalding may have come from close
contact with wet, soggy soil. My
foreman thought they looked best
where a little trash was first laid
around before the earth was shoveled
up. For years had been in the hab-
it of protecting young, low set buds
by drawing up loose grass about
them, and where the exposed ends
were killed by frost, the portion be-
low, even though lightly covered, re-
manned green and fresh until the
freeze of December 80 1894, which
struck through and killed everything
to the surface of the ground. Most
of my stocks, being sour, have been
little troubled by wood lice.
Any time after the weather turns
cooler in September is suitable for
dormant budding, but buds set in
the fall do not generally catch as
we'll as those inserted in spring. Last
spring the sprouts we're in the best
condition for receiving buds in all my
experience. Up to July even the
most tender buds, often not more
than ten days old, caught on as well
as any. After the middle of July and
in August nearly all buds failed.

Florida Pines

1t was not until the seventies that
Florida pineapples from the keys be-
gan to appear in New York and other
Atlantic coast cities. The attention of
the first settlers on the keys was
wholly directed to wrecking and
beach ENTHUSIASTICALLY profitable
occupations that were reduced to in
significant proportions by the estab-
lishment on the reef of the present
supurb range of frst-order lights.
Then the eX-wreckers became spong-
ers, in desultory way, raisers of
such garden truck and tropical fruits
as they could sell to their neigh bors.
Most of their products, such as guavas,
sugar apples, alligator pears, sapodil-
las, sapOtas, etc., were of too perish
able nature to be carried by sailing
vessel further than Key West, the sole
market of that region, and one so
small as to be easily glutted. Under
these conditions there was no money
Cured to certain Mr.. Baker that
pineapples, which would bear a much
longer transportation than any of the
fruits above named, might do as we'll
on this side of the Gulf Stream as on
the other. Procuring a few slips from
Cuba he tried the experiment, and it
succeeded so admirably that from
that day the growing of pineapples
has been leading industry of the
Florida Keys.-Kirk Munroe in Har-

Banking Sprouts and Dormant Budding.

BANKING sprouts anu DOrlllanG DuuuIuS'
The Florida Farmer and Fruit
Grower received among others the
following replies to enquiries in re-
gard to banking orange sprouts and
dormant budding.
l know of nothing better than
banking with earth. We bank in dry
weather, high enough to be sure Of
bud wood to sprout in case of the Sc
verest freeze, and do it as late and
take away as early as we can, and in
that way have had protection, and no
trouble from wood lice. Buds to re-
main dormant, where trees are bank
ed, should have been in already. 1t
takes longer for bud to heal in at
this time of year, and the more thor
oughly united before the banking the
better. f. G. Sampson.

Possible Flor da Industries Glass.

l.
About one year ago, we were great
ly pleased with the information that
company was organized at ST. Au-
gustine for the manufacture Of glass
fruit jars; that the housekeepers
were to be able to put up unlimited
fruit and sweet meats because glass
jars were to be SO cheaply supplied
by this home industry. We have
watched carefully and have been
able to learn no more about it, so we
presume it ended as it probably be-
gan in a newspaper reporters brain.
But what is the matter with such an
enterprise paying good dividends and
having good run of business?
There is scarcely country store but
sells several gross of jars each sea-
son, and the more of them people
have the more they require, to sup
ply their needs. Families that begin
with a dozen or two cans, KEEP in
creasing until they have fruit in
some shape on the table at nearly
every meal.
There are plenty of localities
where good glass sand can be had,
and lime is plentiful all over the
state, and the only element to be
brought here is the soda Or POTASH
md that has to be imported to any
place as it mostly comes from Ger
iany. An occasional return ship
nent in ship coming to Florida for
phosphate would give low freight on
this part of the raw material.
Of course it is not necessary to
confine factory to the manufacture
of only one article in glass, for there
is a market for hundreds Of house
hold necessities made of this materi-
u, which would be readily adopted,
if the prices are made within the
reach Of the people.
This looks like a splendid OppOr-
tunity for some locality to supply
part of the capital necessary and in
troduce the manufacture on the CO.
operative plan, of each workman
sharing in the profits of the business
after the expenses and interest on
capital is paid. This is an equitable
arrangement and makes the work
men take an interest in the success

of the business, and those supplying
the capital would receive an addi-
tional advantage of local market for
their home products among the
worbmen employed.-Wildwood Ga
