KRUGER's SUPERSTITION.

President Kruger is minus the thumb
of his left hand. In his youth it was
badly wounded, and rather than nurse
the troublesome member, he cut it off.
Some time ago, in discussing the pres
ent situation, and wishing to illustrate
how he would do with Sir Alfred Mil
ner, as he had with his predecessors,
he began with the little finger of his
left hand: II was too much for Sir
George Gray" Then, annotating with
his third finger: 81 was too much for
Sir Howard Berkeley" Passing to the
middle finger: II was too much for
Sir Bartle Frere." Next with the in
deX finger: 81 was too much for Sir
Hercules Robinson, and 1 shall be toe
much for Sir-alle Maagte!" he eX-
claimed, for he had come to the place
of the missing thumb. The incident is
said to have depressed him not little
as he is very superstitous.

NOVENBER'S DRY RECORD
THE DRIEsT FOR SIX
YEARS.
No Record of Time When the Rain
fall Was as Small-Drought Through
out the Group.

Last month was the driest November
recorded since records were kept a
period of twenty-slx years. The rain
fall has been only 81 of an inch while
the normal is $50 inches The total
rainfall since January 1 has been 22,26
inches, which is 11.52 inches below the
normal of 33. 7S inches. But notwith-
standing the drought of November the
artesian well level rose during the
month from "a so feet to "a 75 feet
above sea level. Professor Lyons, the
Government meteorologist, accounts
for this by the fact that the rice lands
are dried at this time of the year for
the winter harvest, giving opportunity
for the rainfall of October to take eff
feet on the artesian supply.
The rainfall has been very deficient
throughout the group, excepting in Ha-
makua. At Hilo, the rainfall has been
the lowest on record for the month of
November.
Prof. Lyons meteorological summary
for the month of November gives:

IMMENSELY.

The immensely of the universe is apt
ly illustrated by Astronomer Newcomb
in a current magazine. He says that
If an express train running sixty miles
an hour day and night without stopping
kept 1t up for $50 years, 1t would just
about complete the diameter of the cir
Gle made by the earth in it's yearly
journey around the sun. Now let this
immense circle be presented by a lady's
finger-ring, and, taking that as the
standard of measurement, the nearest
fixed star would be a mile distant, and
the furthest visible through the tele-
scope at least twenty miles.

After the Bath Take a Walk.

After having washed the BODY
all over in cold or tepid water,
dress warmly and walk for an
hour at least; exercise is essential
to health, without which beauty
cannot exist. The fresh water
stimulates the blood, and gives,
naturally, a rosy tint to the COM
plexion. The exercise, shaking
off the lassitud caused by fatigue
gives a steady circulation to the
blood, which enables it to flow
freely through the natural chan
nels, and imparts to the skin the
fresh color which is such a charm.

any record, was 1747, when it is re-
corded that at Charleston, on the 18th
of February, the mercury marked 10
degrees above zero, and all the orange
trees were killed to the ground, and
doubtless those in Florida were injur-
ed. Nineteen years Later in 1766, Bar
tram, then in Florida, records the oc-
currence of a freeze in January, which
killed the lime, citron, and banana
trees, and many curious evergreens ON
the st. Johns, which were near twenty
years old, which would indicate that
an interval of nearly nineteen mild
winters had occurred. In 1774 eight
years later a SNOW storm extended
over most of Florida, but no damage
ensued, being accompanied with show
ers. In 1900 the mercury marked 25
degrees, which was then regarded as
very low temperature, suppose ON &C
count of along period Of mild winters.
Prior to 1912 Mr.. Zephaniah Kingsley
settled on the st. Johns river, and
planted out several large orange groves
at various points on the river, from

however severe, has greatly injured
the trees except the three which have
occurred in the first half of February.
Fortunately large proportion of the
groves had been banked around the
base of the trees where budded, and
rhus the bud saved as q starting point
of renewal, a saving of at least two
years in the renovation of the trees.
Already new growth has come out
from this part of the tree and shoots
now two or more feet long have shown
the vitality of the tree, giving promise
of an early renewal.
But with our sad experience, we nat
urally dread the future. Has the eli

back to 1912, sewn years after the
freeze of 1885, in 1912 many trees at
st. Augustine and on the St. Johns had
come into bearing, but about that time
the scale insect appeared which was
almost as destructive aus the freeze.
This lasted for few years, when with
better care and enrichment, the trees
resumed their health and vigor, and
from 1850 onwards to 1886 no very Sc
we're cold weather occurred, although
young trees were repeatedly killed
down, and between 1845 and 1858 the
temperature was twice down to 20 de-
grees, and in 1857 down to 16 degrees
AS the trees grew larger they became
harder, and the occasional freezing
down of the young trees was hardly
regarded. On January IL, 1886 the
temperature went down at Jackson
Vile to Is degrees; fruit ON the trees
was of course destroyed, the small
trees killed down, and small limbs on
the large trees were killed back, but the
trees so soon recovered that the injury
was scarcely felt Then a period OF
