Spring Park Siftings.

Some of our old time residents
have become convinced of the
fact that there are worse places
in which to reside than our little
town, as will be seen by the
three following items:
l. Mr.. Harry Fuller, after
spending few years in Brook
Iyn, n. Y, since his last visit
here, has returned with his fam
lily and household goods, and is
preparing to erect a building to
be used as boarding house. His
wife has gone back North to buy
furnishings, etc, and also to
make arrangements with some
of thets friends to come and
spend the winter with them.
2. Mrs. Ii. n. Wallace and
her two daughters have returned
from Fernandina, where they
have been living for a year and a
half. We are glad to welcome
them to our midst and would
have been pleased to have seen
Archie's smiling face with the
others, but as he has employ
ment in the +. G.. & 2. railroad
shops he will remain where he is
for the present. Mrs. Wallace
and daughter will spend the Win
ter at Mr.. A. Y. Strunk's, Mrs.
w. looking after the household
matters to give Miss Bertha a
chance to attend school.
8. Mr.. and Mrs. Corcoran, of
New York City, will return to
the Park next month and make
this their permanent home. He
writes that no matter what the
northern papers may say in re-
gard to business taking a new
start under the new administra-
ton, there are thousands out of
work there, and he thinks his
prospects for a living will be as
good, if not better, here in Flor
ida. where rents and fuel are
nothing, comparatively speak
ing.
Mrs. Memo hen and little daugh-
ter left for New York a short
time ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. G.. Packham
will return to their beautiful
home within a few weeks. Mr..
P. met with an accident soon af-
ter they went north and has been
unable to attend to any kind of
business all summer.
Mr.. Will Clarke, who went
north recently, is visiting his Sis
ter, Mrs. Geo. E. French, at
Worcester, Mass.
Mr.. Clarence Smith has gone
to the hospital at Savannah, Ga,
for treatment and to have a sur
gical operation performed. We
sincerely hope it may be success
full and that he will return to us
at no late date fully restored to
health. He has been a great suf-
ferer for a long time, but during
it all he has filled the position as
telegraph operator at Gainesville
and other places, being second to
none in the state,
| We regret to learn that DR..
Robes family will remain anoth-
er year in Leipzig. Germany.
Mr.. I. n. Huyett spent the
Sabbath with friends here and he
was so long in saying good bye
. that ne failed to catch the train,
hence he had to be taken to
Ocala by private conveyance in
order to reach his home by Mon
day morning
There has been an unusual
amount Of rain this season and
farmers have had a hard time do
, ing their harvesting. j.

THE MAJORS BIG STORY.
idea of His Wife Giving Him Five
Dollars Took the Prize.

There were FIVE of six of them sitting about
the stove IN the drug store, and they had
been telling pretty tall stories. The drug
gist was a man OF some humor and Inven-
ton, and he concocted mixture OF great
potency and fine favor, composed of sp.
frumenti, saccharum alba, cortex Unions,
carophyllus aromatlcus and aqua pura q.
s. This mixture he proposed to administer
TO whomsoever should tell the biggest story,
and the party at once began to stretch their
inventive powers to the fullest extent. A
toilet soap drummer was appointed Judge,
and the prize mixture, steaming hot, satin an
eight ounce graduated measure upon the
edge Of the stove.
The colonel told war story OF the Nun
chausen variety, the squire related hunt
ing adventure that evinced a decided genius
for evading the truth, and the postmaster
made strong bid for the prize with a snake
story big enough to make the sea serpent
jealous. The others followed IN turn, and the
last man, the major, entered the competi-
ton. The major had In his mind remark
able narrative about dog that he owned
that did some wonderful things, and he be-
gan his story in this way:
Last Wednesday morning ] got up a
little later than usual and went down to
breakfast. Most Of you have seen that
smarter than most men. Well, that dog
was In the dinlng-room when L went IN
As came to the door, my wife, who was
awaiting me, said:
John, when / went to wake you up
this morning, / found this fve-dollar bill
on the floor. You must have dropped II
from your pocket when you undressed last
night Then she handed me the bill. Now,

mer, you needn't go any further with your
story. The prize is yours. I'm married
man myself, and that lie you've just told is
one you'll never improve on. / hereby rem

As there was not single man In the crowd
not voice was raised IN protest against
the judges verdict-Detroit Free Press.

How to Make Tea.

More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is of japanese
growth, yet, the majority Of Americans ap-
parently do not understand how to prepare
it so as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The japanese Govern
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants In prosecuting this educational work,
and it is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students The main Bureau of the
japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
Frst.-Use a small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second.-Put In one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity OF fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from
TO 8 minutes Never boil the leaves In
order to retain the natural flavor. japanese
tea leaves should be kept In tight can or
jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

Electrical sheep shearinx.

Farming by electricity is now recog-
nized fact. Electricity drives the pillow,
churn, thrasher, and other implements,
and stimulates the sprouting and grow
ing of some kinds of vegetation And
now, at Great Falls, in Montana, which
Is becoming the great wool-growing
state. 20 machines for shearing sheen
are arranged in a long, narrow shed,
open on one side. A single line of shaft
ing extends overhead, and from this &c
flexible cables fall. The shaft, by means
of universal joints" cause each cable
70 rotate, and the cable transmits its
power to the clipper by means of SINH
lar connections. A man needs only TO
steer the clipper around. The blades
work themselves. A small electric mo-
tor of six horsepower drives the line
OF shafting. The motor is such as is
used under a trolley car, and takes its
current from trolley line. The 20 ma
chimes operated for nearly three weeks
and sheared 1874 sheep, averaging
nearly 100 sheep day per machine =

The Physicians Error.

The patient was far gone; it was the opin
ion of all that he could not live but few
moments. Just as the breath was about to
leave his body, one of the physicians, gen
tleInan of culture, and graduate of one Of
our best colleges, remarked: Poor fellow, be
looks badly" At this the dying man opened
his eyes, jumped up in bed, and shouted:
who is the villain who desecrates my
at the culprit and continued: NO. sir,
am not looking badly. admit / look bad
but not badly, for | am not cross-eyed.'
And from that moment he began to re
cover, while the canker of remorse began It's
work upon the heart of the offender, and ere
many days his name was to be found In the
obituary column of the village paper.-Bos

Reflections of q Bachelor.

Some folks are so humble that when they
get to Heaven they viii go way around and
knock at the back door.
When a man gets excited In an argument
he always says it does make him mad to
hear people talk so foolish.
Nothing makes girl so mad as for man
to pretend not to notice when she has fixed
her hair up the way he likes it.
When a man goes out to shoot bear and
ends up by picking huckleberries, he Is very
apt to tell it the other way round.
A man will go to the devil for woman,

He drove out to the wagon yard on Twenty-four.rh street with a view of spending the night preparatory to an early start home in the morning Short ly after arriving there he missed his box of merchandise and thinking 1t had been stolen reported his loss to the police de- paltment.
 Late in the night negro reported to Capt WiM Weir of the police department that he had found box near the Twen- ty-first street bridg-, and the merchant was so informed and recovered his goods.
