Two weeks I'm Florida,

To see Florida is pleasure; to visit IT is
privilege; but to spend fortnight within its
borders is an epoch There is great salts
faction in witnessing the ripenIng OF tropical
fruits in their own native land, and peculiar
Joy in wrestling with old oceans waves when
lakes and rivers at home are icebound. One
appreciates the wonders of modern invention
and railroad development upon leaving the
neighborhood OF good skating one day and
finding himself in the vicinity of good bathing
the next. Yet this can be done, and the man
who prefers hunting or fishing will take his
accoutrements along with him, for Florida
extends cordial invitation to all sportsmen.
Whoever would exchange for two weeks the
uncertain climate of the North for the delight
full and Spring-ike sunshine of Florida should
take the personally-conducted Jacksonville
tour of the Pennsylvania Railroad which
leaves New York by special train January 70.
Excursion tickets for this tour, including rail
way transportation, Pullman accommodations
(one berth. } and meals On route in both

ITHACA, N. Y, JAN. 20, 1897.
In the latter part of an article on the
cultivation of chrysanthemums, of the
issue of MONITOR REGISTER for Dec
25th, and which wrote, contains sort
of misleading statement, which wish to
rectify.
The statement is: "Water chry santhe-
mu ms very little, especially the variety
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy" During the
blooming season." chrysanthemums
should be watered very little, but during
the stages of growth before blooming
they should be watered eopiously. If the
plant is allowed to dry out occasionally,
the lower leaves will turn brown aud dry
up, and if too much water is given it, the
foliage will turn yellow. By adhering to
this rule one can determine the exact
amount of water to be given the growing
plant. And when the plant begins to
blossom water very little, also weak
growing plants should be watered very
little. As to The variety Mrs. Alpheus
Hardy. it should be given less water in
all stages Of growth than any other
chrysanthemum.
In order that the original sentence in
the article should not be misunderstood,
have writtezl 10 oove.

He was middle-aged, guileless ofsas-

and that nerve the outcome of being the

lie went to the theater the other
night, got there late and had seat in
the rear of the house. For a time he
watched the antics of the nipper-legged
comedian and the ''frivoling" soubrette.
He had never seen thNn before and he
liked them. He wanted to see who they
were, but the theater was too dark for
reading the programme. Then he did
something no city-bred man would
have thought of doing in a thousand
years. He struck half dozen matches
and read the bill of the play from end
to end.
1t was all over by the time the ushers
had noticed what they thought was q
private bonfire and reached his seat.
He had settled back comfortably and
looked so innocent the manager
wouldn't let him be disturbed with a
warning.
