Retrospect and Prospect.

When civilized men approached the
prairies of the Mississippi and the
Pacific coast, he found them ready
cleared for his occupation. The sol
was cartWheel deep, there were nc
stones and roots to move the wrath OF
the plOwman, agriculture pressed for
ward at a gallop. On the other hand
in the older East and South, the fore
fathers had crept painfully along fol
two hundred years, battling with the
great sloven continent" the malaria,
the ague, the Indian, the hardships
and poverty of pioneering. Chicago
and San Francisco grew rich with a
strength not their own, rich and rank !;
it was nOurished in the long struggle
with the forests of the Hudson, the
Delaware, the Potomac and the Sa-
vannah.
Thus history repeats, or rather pro-
longs itself in Florida. The we'll knit
ted sheet of the fiatWOOdS sod is Spik-
ed down to the ground with the pow
erful tap-roOts of the pines. 1t takes
two or three yoke Of oxen at the pillow
to wrench up a few inches in depth.
Every acre must be grubbed and
burned and grubbed again.
When a few acres have been re-
claimed from the tangled hammock
and seeding oranges have been plant
ed, they grow slowly for half a gener-
alton before they come into the full
ness of bearing, laying broad and deep
the foundations for a life Of seventy

Elaborate preparations are being
made at Oberammergau for the Pas
sion Play of 1900. The committee of
villagers which is to assign the parts
in the play will meet tomorrow. JO-
seph Mayr will be asked to undertake
once more the part of Christ but he
will amost certainly decline it. He is
much aged, and has lost his excellent
wife and one of his beautiful laugh
terS. Some months ago Anton Lang
was asked to grow his beard and
his hair with view to suiting himself
physically for the great role which he
will probably have to take He is 10y

old; very gentle i'll his manners and
well educated; he has a good voice
and very majestic carriage, plentiful
blond hair and blue eyes. He falls
little short of the traditional six feet
but in all other respects he promises
TO be a great success. The Burger
masters daughter, Rosa Lang, is in
good health and her voice has still the
same ring of beautiful sorrow which
made her so interesting a Mater Do
lorosa. She and her father, who
made such an excellent Caiaphas, will
certainly be chosen again for their
highly appreciated representations.

Pm AND SCIS GORS.

The Countess Casteilane, once Miss
Anna Gould of New York, has the
most lovely garden in France. She
grows all the old-fashioned flowers,
which are allowed to overrun every
where in luXurant untidiness. One
corner of this delightful spot she calls
her garden of friendship and in this
she plants all the flowers that are as
sociated in her mind with friends and
relatives, each blossom being fragrant
with memory. 1t is a pretty idea.

to know which countries take the most

England bought more than half the

and the early spring, while the tops
of other grasses are dead, the paspa-
lum platycaule is charging it's boun-
diaries. In the moderate shade of the
pines it grows well,' until it spreads
it's smooth, unbroken turf through the
parklike forest.
Nature in Florida impresses upon
man the divine lesson of patience.
Long after the splendid but rank civ
ilizatiOn of the prairie and Pacific
States shall have reached it's meridian,
Florida will still be coming up. Mil
lions of acres of the lawn-like paspa-
lum will be seen in the northern and
western parts of the State, thinly
studded with the pines, affording a
half-shade at once to the nutritious
grass and to the small uddered, butter
yielding COWS that will Craze among
them. The wornout fields of cotton
and corn will perhaps be less eXpen-
sive, prOpOrtiOnately than at present,
park-like pastures, green nearly the
year round, as they are in the old
French settlements about Mobile to-
day. In the South the groves of citrus
and peach and guava and the fields of
pineapples, vegetables and tobacco will
also accept the moderate shade" of
the pines or the protecting wall Of live
oak and palmetto or the shed OF tent
if the grower shall have learned the
lessons of the times, which the wise
ones certainly will.
When the time comes, and not till
there will be no more Wasteful forest
fires. The cow will put them out in
time; legislation never will. Some
thing must depasture the face of the
earth the deer is gone; the COW has
only partly come; the fire must do the
work yet a while. When a grass
comes that the cow will wholly con-
sumo, the fire can work no more.
The pines also will mitigate the un-
timely forests; and they will ask only
the subsoil for their portion, giving
the surface without robbery to the
crops which they shelter. Then Flori-
ola will have fully entered upon it's
new culture destiny. An end will be
put to the old reproach "The South
has no grass The paspalum, the
Bermuda, the Para, and the crabgrass
will make Florida what it cannot now
be truthfully called the grassy PENN
