The Red Rocks.

In sight of the Eric tracks, between
Susquehanna and Great Bend, are the
Red rocks, a red cliff standing above
the Susquehanna river. Near them can
be seen traces of the grave Of a beauti-
full Indian maiden, the daughter of a
famous chief She was betrothed to q
young brave, a member of her fathers
tribe, then encamped near here. Her IA
Their desired her to marry the son Of the
chief of the neighboring tribe, and the
wish of the paternal ancestor usually
counted for something
In consequence she resolved to fly to
the "happy hunting grounds, and one
night she stole noiselessly from her wig
wan, and, with the death song upon
her lips, flung herself from the high
cliff, her life's blood staining the rocks
below. And to this day they have retain
ed the reddish hue which the rains and
foods of century have failed to effaoe.
When the maiden's lover saw her
mangled corpse, he retired to cave in
the mountains and never again was seen
alive. Forty years later his petrified
body was found in the cave by wan
dering remnant of the tribe, Under his
body were found the long raven tresses
of the old chiefs daughter. New York

Idaho,s Island Wonder.

Henry lake is beautiful body of wa.
ter with an area of about Al square
miles and is situated on the dome OF
the continent in a depression in the
Rocky mountains near Targees pass,
Idaho. Henry lake is of no consequence
itself, but it is the ''home" Of a most
wonderful floating island, which is seen
first on one side of the lake and then on
the other. The island is about 800 feet
in diameter and has for its basis mat
of roots and decayed vegetation suffi-
cient to support large trees and dense
growth of underbrush. The edges of
this floating island are thin, Of course,
but near the center it is several feet
thick and of sufficient strength to sup.
port good sized summer hotel, if some
one could be found that would care to
make such a venture. There is a good
sized willow thicket near the center Of
the island, and scattered around among
them are several dwarf pines and asp
ems. These trees catch the breeze which
is continually blowing over this highly
situated lake, and, acting as sails ON a
boat, move the 800 foot island hithe1
and thither over the 40 square miles Of
water at their will. Old mountaineers
who are well used to all kinds of queer
things declare that the floating island
of Henry lake is the most wonderful
thing to be seen in the mountain regions

SPANISH GRANDEES.
They Constitute the Real Aristocracy OF
the Naughty Nation.

the Naughty Nation.
The real aristocracy of Spain is limited
to the S48 grandees, many Of them un-
titled, who enjoy innumerable privi-
leges, including those of remaining
seated and covered in the presence of
royalty and of access to the sovereign at
all times. Admission to the grandeza is
exceedingly difficult to obtain, for it is
necessary to prove long line of blue
blooded ancestry, unsullied either on
the paternal or on the maternal side by
any plebeian strain. The ancient cere-
mony OF comforting the grandeza--this
and the ceremony of Inducing peer to
his seat in the house Of lords constitute
the only forms of investiture of mobiles
that survive in the old worlds termed
an almohada and is exceedingly rare
Queen Christina has held but two since
her husbands death; there were three
during the reign of King Alfonso XII
One of the latter was witnessed by
writer in the New York Tribune, who
thus describes it:
1T took place in the small throne
room Of the royal palace at Madrid. The
men of grandee rank were at the right
Of the dais and the women at the left.
On the king exclaiming, Be seatedl'
they all took their places upon tabourets,
or stools of carved wood, topped with
large purple velvet cushions. Everybody
else, such as the members of the diplo-
matte corps and of the royal household,
remained standing. Then the doors at
the farther end of the room opened,
and, preceded by a herald and two
chamberlains and accompanied by the
two grandees acting as sponsors, the
postulant for admission to the grandeza
appeared and approached the throne
with three low obeisances. A tabouret,
with purple cushion, having been
brought and placed on the lowest of the
steps leading up to the throne, the king
commanded the candidate to be seated
and thereupon addressed few compli-
mentary words to him, recalling the
services of his family to the dynasty in
bygone ages. Alfonso concluded his lit
tie speech by extending his hand to be
kissed, at the same time directing him
to take his place among the peers.
Retiring backward from the royal
presence, the newly fedged grandee was
conducted by his sponsors to the side of
the hall occupied by the ladies of the
grandee rank, to whom he made a low
bow, and then to that of the men, whom
he saluted in the same manner. He
thereupon put his hat upon his head, his
example being instantly followed by ev-
cry grandee present, who all remained
covered until, his stool and cushion hav-
ing been removed from the steps of the
throne and placed beside those of his
peers, he had seated himself thereon.
This brought to close the acutal cere-
mony of almohada, which was rendered
extraordinarily picturesque by the SUI
perb toilets Of the women, by the gor-
geous tabards of the royal heralds and
by the brilliant uniforms of the generals,
the court officials, the ministers of state,
and, last, but not least, by those of the
diplOmats >,

IN HOLLAND.

Some Curiosities of Etiquette In the Meth.
erlantls.
An unmarried girl in Holland always
takes the right arm of her escort, while
the married one selects the left side OF
her husband. So deeply has this custom
entered into the life of Hollanders that
at a wedding the bride enters the church
on the right side of the groom, the
young wife returning on the left side of
her husband when the ceremony has
been performed. No unmarried lady in
this country can dream of going to
church, a concert or any other place of
public assemblage without the escort of
parents or male members of the family.
She cannot take a walk, pay visit or
go shopping unaccompanied by her
mother or some married lady friend
The Holland young lady does not go
to the theater with the gentleman who
has been introduced to her week be-
fore, neither does she vary her beau to
suit her dress or complexion Unmarried
daughters are chaperoned to all places
of amusement. Even dancing parties are
interspersed with songs, recitations,
etc., for the amusement of elders of the
family who sit around tables socially
slipping their coffee, wine or other favor
ed beverage, while the young members
glide over the waxed floors to the fitful
strains of music. Here the young must
make the best Of their opportunities, for
when it pleases the parents to seek the
quiet solace of the house the daughters
also quit the gayety of the ballroom. -

GOODROADS MOVEMENT.

The good roads movement In Flor
ida is gathering strength and force as
it moves along, and we predict that in
a very short time the people will have
been SO thoroughly educated ON the
necessity for better roads THAT there
will be unanimous demand for
something more than words. The peo-
pie will demand that some of the
theories and plans that look so hand
some ON paper, be put into practice.
There is but one way to meet the
demand for better roads-and that is
to make them. The question then
arises, chow cam this be done?" I'm
fortunately the population of Florida
is not great--in fact we have a small
er population per square mile of ter
ritory than any other state east of
the mississippi Aside from this we
are a state of magnificent distances.
The question of how these roads
shall be made-or rather how the
money shall be raised to make them
IS not an easy one to answer. Taxa
tion of course must be resorted to,
but the county is not in a condition
to have the rate of taxation largely
increased. Even if they could afford
to pay a comparatively heavy tax,
enough could not be raised in one
year or several years to accomplish
the result desired, and if dependence
was placed ON the annual collection of
road tax for the highway improve

We have received from the Pomona
Nurseries, Macclenny, Fla, a copy of
their handsome catalogue for 1897.
The catalogue embraces list of near
ly $50 varieties and is handsomely il
Illustrated with Photographic half tone
cuts. The adapta bility of varieties to
various sections has been made a
speciality, and in the classification Of
same in the catalogue the public get
the full benefit of these nurserymen' $
experience, which will be of great
value in the selection of varieties, if
carefully followed, and may save
many disappointments.

ments the work would be tedious and
long drawn out.
We are aware that there is a we'll
grounded prejudice against bonds,
but we are of the opinion that if any
thing is done i'm Florida i'm the way
of making better roads bond issues
must be resorted to. Counties by is
suing short time bonds, bearing a low
rate of interest, would be able to push
the work of highway improvement
without awaiting the tedious tax col
lection system. These bonds could be
made redeetmable at different times,
and could be taken UP annually as
the tax levied for that purpose was
collected. If this plan was followed
interest would be reduced, and the
tax payers would not greatly feel the
burden, as the redemption of bonds
would continue for period of years.
