Bermuda Onion Seed.

The onion probably originated in
Asia, to the east of Palestine, in a sub
tropical arid region, and it has always
hourished best in similar situations.
The potato originated in America but
received it's name from Ireland, where
it was so we'll suited with the soil and
climate and it reached it's perfection.
On the other hand, the old World on
ion derives the name of the most popu-
lar variety from Bermuda, on account
of it's local excellence. Yet we have to
return to the Old World, to Teneriffe,
to procure trustworthy seed, that is
land having the dry climate and the
volcanic soil necessary to develop the
germ and ripen it to perfection.
1t denotes the growing interest taken
in this vegetable in Florida to observe
the eager rivalry among seedmen to
obtain the earliest consignment of Ber-
muda onion seed from Teneriffe. 1t
has to come by way of London, it is a
high priced article, hence the arrival
of the genuine seed in Florida consti-
tutes an important event, and may be
regarded as the opening of the fall and
winter trucking campaign after the
long inaction of summer.
Over thirty years ago Judge J.
Wofford Tucker, of Sanford, visited
the Rerm11da Islands, and resided there
awhile; he then made arrangements to
import to Florida the seed of their ia
nous onion, which he continued to do
until the time of his death. His success
sor is A. E. Philips, who has been con-
tinually engaged in the drug and seed
business for twenty-nine years, in
Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Tampa and
Sanford. His name, wherever he is
known, is a synonym for conscientious
dealings and substantial business.

Florida Grown Tobacco.

The Southern Tobacco Journal, of
Winston, N. c., says:
Some wonderful things are being ac-
complished in Florida in tobacco rails
ing. One of these is the production Of
plants of such gigantic size that

plantations, that he was in Brobdig-

plants which happened to be in the

A few of the preliminary farewells have been
said 10 the Maurice Grau Opera Company The
last farewell for the season is yet TO be said. The
farewells began on Friday night the last night Of
the subscription when the audience stayed Tor
half or three quarters of an hour after the end or
the performance of Tristan und Isolde and made
the roof II not the welkin ring. while the artists
performed what OF the disgusted attaches Of
the house called eight curtain-cals and ten cake

raised 10 reveal the artists TO their admirers and
II IS n cakewalk when they file ont at one OF the
doors across the stage and IN at the other. Part
ing with Jean de Reszke was such sweet sorrow
that the audience literally said goodnight until II
was tomorrow for 1t was nearly o'clock before
the sleepy ushers induced the last Of the music
lovers TO 20 home
The fun sweep and force OF the curtan-call in
sanity Is usually experienced at the last matinee Of
the season. but IT was not so yesterday. For only
a poor quarter of hour dd the enthusiasts

require the repeated sight OF Nine. Emma Eames

1t is reported that Leadville, Colo,
is suffering from a coal famine, and
that very great trouble is being expe-
rienced by the various companies OPP
Grating there in securing an adequate
supply for the generation of steam.
The Mining Record states that Lead
vile ascribes it to railroad discrimina-
ton, against which the city enters the
strongest kind of a protest. If this be
true, it is certainly 4 serious matter
and cannot be too earnestly condemn
ed. 1t is a matter that concerns, not
merely the companies, bur the entire
community, and under certain contin-
gencies it might work hardship on all
classes, and in many cases actual SUI
fering.
