Down on the Hillshorough river. I'm Vo-
lusia county, Fla, there are the ruins of
one of the oldest settlements in this coun-
try, and its history forms one of the most
tragic episodes ever recorded of any place
in the United States. The place is called
New Smyrna, but there is nothing new or
attractive about it except the orange trees
the palmettos and green vines which ma
ture distributes lavishly around. There is
one class of people in the south who can
never be induced to visit New Smyrna and
the very sound of the name makes them
shrink and turn their heads aside i'm shame
anger.
In the streets of ST. Augustine today one
occasionally catches a glimpse of a type of
american beauty that fairly takes the
breath away, and again he sees traces of
that type in SO many other faces that he
unhesftatingly attributes them all to the
same source. There are only few pure
blcoded Minorcan women left in this coun-
try, but the blood of these ancient slaves
has mingled with that of our noble SOUTH
ern families and perpetuated i'm a degree a
beauty that is row rarely seen. What the
Creole blood has done for so many women
OF New Orleans the Minorcan blood has ac-
compliShed for the Inhabitants of Florida
The wondrouS eyes. the regular, classic
features and the beautiful hair are all
worthy of the Greek slave-their real an
cestral prototype.
The story of the Florida Minorcans is in
teresting. dramatic, tragic. They were the
first slaves brought to this country-and
white slaves at that! They suffered the
horrors of a slavery which was unregu-
lated by law. and which would have made
the scenes in Uncle Toms Cabin" COM
monplace. The existence of this white
slave colony in the south was only nine
years, but in that length of time enough
sorrow and misery were compressed to fill
half century.

ICE CREAM FREEzERs.
One Scheme Which Has Not Been Gem
orally AlODted.

one Schemc " htch Has Not Been Gen.
orally Adopted.
The people who resort to refreshing ice
cream as a means of seeking comfort on
hot summer evenings are seldom aware of
the amount of inventive genius that has
been exercised in devising methods for
freezing the creamy substance which they
enjoy. Two hundred and fifteen patents for
Ice cream freezers and parts of ice cream
freeZers have been issued by the United
States patent office. They comprise every
variety of freezers that an ingenius peo-
pie have been able to imagine and to Sc
cure patents for. One of the most unique
of the ideas involved in the variety of in
ventive genius shown in the ice cream busi-
Ice cream freezer is turned by the revolu-
tions of the wheels of vehicle on which
the freezer is placed. The idea was that of
a rural gentleman, who, while watching
the wheels OF his wagon go round on his
trips from town to country, had caught the
idea that those wheels while revolving
might as we'll turn the ice cream freezer
summer day, in order to provide dessert
at his dinner table. He also had an idea
that there would be an economy of time
and Ice by his invention. Providing cream
In his freezer upon going to town he
thought, he could transact his business
purchase enough ice to freeze the cream
and complete the whole operation by the
time his wagon reached his country home
in the evening. But somehow this in
genious device has never resulted in It's
practical adoption. 1t was one of those
things that looked very pretty on paper
and would nightly please the fancy of
children of imaginative turn of mind

THE USEFUL GIRAFFE,
Employed to Get Down Balls That
Had Lodged in the Roof Gutter.

Employed to Get Down Balls That
Had Lodged in the Roof Gutter.
From the New York Sun.
''Good-naturcd?" said the old circus man
why! The best in the world When the
old mans boy used to get q base ball
lodged in gutter at the caves of the
house-this was when we were off the road
Ill winter quarters-he never used to get
out at the scuttle and climb down the roof
and take the risk of falling off and break
ing his neck to get it. He used to go to the
barn and get out the giraffe. The old
efghteen-footer would trot along after the
boy-he knew what was wanted-tiu they
came to the house. and then walk along
the side, looking down into the gutter as
he went along. until he came to the ball.
and then he would pick it up and bend his
head down and give 1t to the boy
one day. when the youngster had
thrown the ball up on the roof and had
seen it roll down. into the gutter, he went
as usual after the giraffe When the gil
raffe looked along the gutter that day
out Of the gutter and looked down at the
boy IN the yard with large interroga ton
marx in each eye. as much to say:
Sure 1t didn't roll off somewheree'
And the boy said sure and then the
giraffe looked again. but it wasn't there
ana the giraffe so reported. with solemn
snake Of the head, and was driven back to
the barn.
They wondered about this, for 1t was
the first time the giraffe had ever failed to
get the ball. and they knew it must be
there. but 1t was soon explained. A day
or two later there came a big rain storm.
Instead of running a big. noisy stream as
usual. the tin water pipe from the roof
ran just little bit of stream, and the
water that should have run off in that way
overfiowed the cutters and dripped in a
thin sheet against the side of the house.
Then they knew why the giraffe couldn't
lind the ball. 1t had rolled down the water
pipe"
