The Idaho Woman suggests that
the United States constitution Inc
omended so as to provide that plu-
rality of the legislature shall elect a
u. s. Senator. 1t says this would
settle senatorial contests in an hour
We suggest that while making this
change it would be just as easy (and
wiser to have the amendment pro
vide for election by direct vote of
the people. Senatorial contests would
then be settled before legislatures
met, which would no doubt vastly
improve the work of the law making

Our Scuppernong Vines.

There are few farmers in Florida,
who do not have, in some corner OF
their acreage scuppernong vine. In
fact, as the Southern Ruralist tersely
puts it:
Every rural southern home, with
sufficient garden room for the recep-
ton of trees and shrubbery should,
by all means have one or two SOUP
pernong grape vines, the dark and the
bronze, if possible, on the premises
Mott because a highly palatable wine
can be made from them, but because
these native grapes are good and
wholesome eating, and hence boon
of real pleasure and joy for the fam
ily and visitors when it comes to pick
ing the same fresh from the vines dur
ing a season Of the year when plums,
peaches, pears, in fact everything in
this line is gone.
10 have such grape vine, and to at
once combine beauty with utility, dis
card the dead and unsightly pine post
trellis and train the vine into China
umbrella tree planted simultaneously
with the scuppernong if not already
at hand, and in a short space of time
you will have one of the finest sights
near the house-a perfect tropical
bower. The dark green foliage of the
tree intermixed with the light green
hue Of the vine, and dropping from
the density of the shaded dome, long
strings of fruit-laden vines. Verify,

A Ii ew Corn.

A new variety of corn, secured in
Camilla, Ga, by Mr.. Noah T. Pelt,
planted on about half acre of his
cow pen land near town, bids fair to
rival in prolific productiveness the IA
nous Carriers oats.
In addition to a large full grained
ear, each stalk has an extra large tas-
sci covered with fully developed
grains, filing the little pods or cups,
that in ordinary corn holds the pollen
mass. Little miniatu ears, perfect,
in form, with shuck, cob, silks or pis-
ills, and all complete except grains,
also appears here and there all over
p the tassel, making fine forage.
Another popularity of this strange
corn, and which adds much to it's
forage qualities, is that each grain is
covered by a separate and distinct
miniature shuck, just like it was sep
arate ear of corn, and the entire ear is
covered with a large extra thick
shuck, giving it the outward appear
ance of an ordinary ear.
For Smelling purposes this corn is
not very desirable, but for chopping
up for horse and cow feed, we imag-
inc it. is fne.-Gulf Coast Breeze.

Substitute for Sugar.

A patent manufacture called ''sug-
arine," (which, it is claimed, is five hum
dred times as sweet as ordinary sugar,
will be introduced into this country by
Frank H. Allen, of Connecticut, he
having obtained the option for it's ex-
elusive sale in the United States. The
patent is white, chrystalline powder,
easily soluble in water, alcohol or any
other liquid in which ordinary sugar
dissolves, and can be produced in any
form, powder, grain, pellets, tablets,
etc. Each of the lozenges, which are
of ordinary size, sent to Mr.. Allen is
equal to half pound of ordinary
sugar, and therefore sufficient for
sweetening six pints of water, coffee,
tea, etc. It's chemical property, it is
the exchange Of matter. Persons suf-
fering from diabetes, diseases, OF the
kidneys, ETC., who can not take sugar,
may take sugarine, with impunity, the
the latter not having affinity with the
carbon hydrates. A grain Of it will
sweeten cup of coffee. The cost of
production is only one-tenth the cost
of ordinary sugar. The article is be-
ing manufactured in England by the
British Sugarine Company, and pat
ents have been applied for in the va
rious untries.-American Caterer

Another New Industry.

Mr.. T. E. Dickey, the groceryman
of Tallahassee, has started a new
home industry which bids fair to be-
come one of the fixed manufactures
of this section of the state. His is
the manufacture Of tomato catsup.
He puts up two varieties "a mild,
sweet catsup, and a hot, or peppery
kind. They are put up in the usual
size, though differently made bot
tie and retail at a much lower price
than other products of the kind on
the market.
The samples left at this office COM
pare favorably with any that we have
ever tried, and we trust he will meet
with the measure of success his enter
prise deserves.
