Strange Land I'm Florida.

Payne's prairie, three miles south oil
this city, covers an area Of fifty thou
sand acres. A large portion of the
prairie is now covered with water, but
there are thousands of acres around
the borders of the lake which has been
formed on which horses and cattle
Craze, There is no way of estimating
the number of cattle, but there are
many thousands, and they are in fine
condition. The prairie, or savanna,
which it really is, occasionally goes
dry, the water passing out through
subterranean passage called the sink.
Where the watey goes 10 nus snever'
been determined. When the sink is
open the lake goes dry, and when the
outlet becomes gorged or choked lake
from five to seven miles wide and about
eighteen miles long is formed. When
the waters of the lake suddenly leave
it thousands of alligators, snakes, fish
and turtles are left with nothing but
mud for their places OF abode. The
fish and turtles perish, but the sau-
rians and reptiles seek and find other
quarters. For miles along the north
ern border of the lake there is sue
cession of sinks, averaging in depth
all the way from 25 to 100 feet. Sub
terranean passages run in every direc-
ton, leaving the ground in the shape
of honeycomb. The ground is liable
to give way at any time, creating
new sink. -Gainesville Ella. Sun.

Parrot Adopts Chickens.

j. d. Austin, a merchant in Kansas
City, has large Brazilian parrot that
is the proud possessor of five little
bantam chickens, which the big bird
watches over and cares for as if they
were her own brood. Some time ago
the parrot laid two eggs. These were
TAKEN nom her and half-dozen small
chicken eggs were placed in the nest
Polly comes forth regularly with her
little chickens peeping and scratching
about her, and many people stop to
view the strange sight. 1t is a very
unusual thing for the parrot to breed
away from its native land, even under
me most favorable circumstances. and
IL Is more remarkable that the parrot
should adopt the chickens as her owu
offspring

A Glass-Eyed Tiger.

The geological garden of Stuttgart,
Germany, is possessed of tiger with
a glass eye, probably the only one in
the world. Some time ago the tiger
was attacked with apeculiar disease
which deprived it of the sight of one
of its eyes. 1t soon became 80 I'M
slightly that the superintendent of tee
garden concluded to have the tiger
killed. At this juncture some one
proposed that glass eye might be
used TO advantage and staff of sur
geons was called in to perform the
operation. The king of the jungle
was placed under the influence of
cocaine, and with the help of six or
eight men, all of whom could scarcely
hold the patient still, the afflicted eye
was removed and new glass one in
serted. For few days the tiger was
in wildly savage mood and tried his
best to claw the glass eye from its
place, but he finally grew accustomed
to it, and now looks out quite calmly
upon his admiring visitors, many of
whom never suspect that he ia one
eyed monarch. Chicago Record.

Effects Of Rare and OF Dense Air.

DR.. Won Liebig of the University
of Munich calls attention, in Science,
to some Of the curious effects of rare
fed and condensed air on human res
piration, On high mountains some
persons experience distressing "short-
ness of breath" one result of which is
that they are unable to whistle. Pre-
cisely the same effect is sometimes
produced by the condensed air in
caissons and diving bells. Laborers
working in compressed air frequently
find, however, that their powers of
exertion are increased as long as the
atmospheric pressure is not more than
double that of ordinary air; but be-
You'd that point unpleasant effects are
experienced after the menhave left the
working shafts and returned into the
open air. On the other hand high at
mospheric pressure in the case of per-
sons not doing manual labor has been
found to act as mental stimulus, in.
creasing the impulse to talk.

The Cats Friend Dead.

Lonely cats, deserted by their own
ers or lured from their homes by
heartless boys, have lost good friend
in Miss Annie Mayhem, who died a
short time ago in England. This wo-
man was the founder of a cats home,
and her whole time and energies were
devoted to caring for deserted and
stray pussies, on whose behalf she was
constantly appealing to the kindly
hearted. Every summer she issued
an appeal through the press to persons
leaving town, begging them not to
forget poor puss, leaving it to starve
in their absence. Miss Mayhem was
q firm believer in the theory that there
is happy hunting-ground for felines
in the future, and that human beings
and animals will somewhere meet
again in the great hereafter. 1t com
forted her to think that N some way
pussies who had suffered gross cruel
ties at the hands of men and women
in this life might some day have their
compensation. New York Tribune

DANIEL WEBSTER AS FARMER.
"Reminiscences OF Great statesmnn Only
One who Recalls Him.

Some recent visitors to Daniel
Webster's old home in Marshfield,
Mass, found only one man in the
neighborhood who could talk from
personal knowledge about the states
man, and not a soul who bore his
name or claimed direct or indirect
descent from him. The exception was
an aged person named Wright, who
said that in the old days he had been
the superintendent Of Webster big
farm, and had known him well and
intimately for years, not as the great
orator and politician, of course, but
as the gentleman farmer, kindly en-
ployer and good neighbor. Mr..
Wright somewhat reluctantly adj
mitted that as On Agricultural his
famous friend was not brilliant sue
cess in pecuniary way, but he says
that no one ever loved quiet rural
life better, or took keener, more
minute or more personal interest in
all that went on in the fields, woods
and barns. ''He loved this place,
every tree and flower and living thing
on it. He knew every sod that was
turned, every COW that was MIXED,
every blade of grass that was moved
and his steersl There was man
who knew an ok" And then Mr..
Wright told how Webster, when near
deaths door, had his favorite oxen
driven up before the window of the
'manse that has now disappeared. II
was there and drove them up, two by
two, while Webster stood by the
window and watched them pass. 1t
was sad day for that household, and
when he was gone everything began
to go down hill. At the end of two
years the place was closed up and sold
piecemeal. Some parts of it fetched
good prices. others almost nothing"
According to this authority Webster
never drank to excess. and "his only
trouble was the fact that he did not
have as much money as he needed"
Mr.. Wright is over so years old, but
he still works daily in his fields and
shows few signs of extreme age

SO. with some heartaches, I deter

Liberation that / should not marry at
all. was the only child, and il was
plainly my duty to remain with my
parents, to comfort to their declining
years, and, innsmuch as such was to
be my fate, might as well begin inn
mediately; 30 / took to drinking n
great deal Of tea, TO taking a very
great interest in household affairs and
to sympathizing with and assisting
mamma among the poor and to being
extremely methOdical and precise.
Harry had not been to the house
since that last day, over three months
ago, and now mamma aud papa did
not mention him. I had never told
them the cause Of our quarrel, and
they soon ceased to question me,
though L could not help suspecting
that they knew.
At last, one day, Tom Dickerson
asked me, in q stupid, laundering sort
Of way, il / would be his wife; where
upon | informed him, in q manner suf-
ficiently positive, that most assured
ly would not. His surprise was i'm
mense, and he seemed to think / must
have made mistake; wanted to know
if / really meant it and said that I
should have everything wanted. But
the more he insisted the more en-
phatic l became, and he at length
took leave, saying that If L should
change my mind must let him know.
As soon as he was gone told NAM
ma all about it,.-and then she drew
from me the story, told with many
tears, Of Harry's declaration and how
l had spurned it and how miserable L
had been ever since, and now he was
engaged to somebody else, and l
should never marry anybody. After
sobbing little while with my head in
her lap felt a great deal better and
that it would not be so hard to be an
old maid after all. My only regret
was, that old as might consider my
self, no one else could possibly con-
slider me so for ten years yet, and yet,
during all that time, / should be OBJ
liged to go into society.
A few days after this mamma aud
papa went out one afternoon to make
a call, and was sitting alone in the
parlor. Suddenly some one pronounced
my name, and, looking up, l saw
Cousin Harry, who, when / sprang up
in dismay, caught me in his arms.
But l shall not tell any more, save
that when papa and mamma came in
they found us sitting very cozily on
the sofa, where Harry held me fast,
though / tried hard to assume a more
digniiied position at a distance when
i heard them coming.
There were great many explana-
tons to be made, and il finally APP
peared that had been the victim of
conspiracy. ,c
Papa and mamma had suspected
,ssAa~safing M fl,a tffiie, but Ind known
nothing certainly until my confession.
Papa had Immediately seen Harry and
had brought about the meeting.
AS for the latter, his attentions to
MISS Knapp were intended solely to
bring me to my senses, if | had any,
a. she was soon to be married to
gentleman who was then abroad.
We were married after very short
engagement, aud though my short
married life has had some clouds, they
have resulted, generally, from my own
pettishness, and they are becoming
more rare. But of this l am sure, that
/ never was so happy before.

with the exception OF the assumption Of
the role of Dusty Rhodes by Mr. Getz.
