Mrs. j. T. Drummond writes
another interesting letter from Hotel
DE Sofa, De Leon Springs, Fla She
says the spring is one mile from the
hotel and they walk there every day
to bathe in the stream which is from
four to fifteen feet deep and SO clear
that the bottom is distinctly seen,
and that the walk is bordered with
hemlock the entire distance, and is
lovely in the extreme. They had shed
their fiannels and she had purchased
a palmetto hat for comfort. The hotel
did not employ colored servants, and
that there were no oranges lying
around on the grohnd as they had all
been marketed as the crop was not
large, the orange groves not having
recovered from the hard freeze three
years ago. The gentlemen were sit
ting out on the veranda in their
shirt sleeves enjoying themselves, but
not all life's pleasures, for we are now
having as fine weather and slelghing
as ever graced this northern cline,
and while we glide along to the
merry tune OF bells, we do not envy
anyone who is compelled to agitate a
fan.

Dlphtherla and Rabbits.

For second time within a wear
diphtheria has broken out near Will
liams, and it is, in the opinions of
physicians, due to rabbits. Four of
the little children of a farmer by the
name OF Burkett, living a mile and a
half west of Williams, are down with
the disease. The first epidenic broke
out at a Swedish school house
southeast of that place, where the
rabbits had for years burrowed under
the school house. AS soon as it was
suggested to the directors that the
disease had been carried to the school
by the rabbits, they at once cleaned
the ground under the building. 1t
was long time hooted at that the
rabbits carried disease with them.
but this year so many have died and
been found scattered all over the
preirie, and have died with symp-
toms Of diphtheria that it is no long.

Give the Mothers a Chance.

Resolved that we, the members of this
organization, desire that women be
placed upon the school board of Cresco
and will use our influence to secure
the same" This resolution was adopted
unanimously by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of this city and also
by the Equal Suffrage club These two
societies number about sixty women
nearly all of whom are mothers who have
children attending the city schools.
These women believe that mothers are
as deeply interested in the. education OF
their children as are fathers. Women
are eligible to every school office in the
state of Iowa but have no vote upon any
school officials. hence they must appeal
to the justice loving voter to think upon
this proposition of electing a women to a
position where the mother influence may
be felt in the public schools, believing
that when the men of Cresco have care
fully considered the subject that they
will courteously and consclentiously vote
to give the mothers of Cresco representa-
ton upon the school board.

cred by George Smith seems to have
originated in the city of Surippak: at
any rate, the Noah Of that story came
from the Surippak. There are in that
account no such passages as we have
in this new fragment, which shows
that we have to do with another ver-

itself a copy from a, partly effaced

This text is in poetry. 1t proves that
the poetic construction was fixed more

show that it is a poem full of polythe-
