A KINGS FINE HORSES.

This summer weather those who
rise early enough-and many do to get
a bicycle ride before the heat of the
day-will see some superb horses about
the streets, ridden and driven, so many
as to call forth remark. They are
horses from the royal stables out for
exercise in the fresh morning air. The
late king kept in Rome 300 horses, in
two immense stables, each nurse hav.
ing an average value of $500. 1t is es.
timated that they cost their royal own
er four shillings each day. or $i09,
year. They make a fine show in
their splendid and beautifully kept
stables, but il must be said that that
is about all they were kept for, as the
king did not ride more than seven or
eight favorites, and the queen as
many more. King Humbert was de-
voted to his stud. and paid the stables
a daily visit Each stall used to be
inspected and each horse petted and
led with sugar King Humbert was
very fond of driving about the city of
Rome, and as his servants wore a
dark livery, in no way distinctive, 1t
is said that the only way strangers
could distinguish the king was by his
magnificent horses.-Rome Letter.

A GEORGIA GATOR FARM.

There are schemes and schemes, but
the latest and most extraordinary is
one projected by prominent city
court official to make a fortune by
raising alligators The official, who
dislikes publicity and prefers that his
name be Withheld, is quite serious in
his undertaking and has purchased 300
acres of swamp land near Seven
Bridges, into which he will turn his
herd of alligators. The entire 300
acres Is to be closely fenced in, and
this work is now well under way and
will be completed by October l.
Thirty-seven alligators have already
been placed on the farm and the
promoter expects to realize 5000 on his
scheme next year. The alligator is
said to be the most prolific of all ami
mails, the goat not excepted, and where
there is a ready demand for them.
there is more money in raising them
than any other animal. That there is
a demand for them now is shown by
the fact that the promoter OF this farm
has now filed away in his Office more
orders for allgators than ne hopes to
be able to supply in two ears.-Macon

PROVIDED FOR THE CHILDREN

During four months visit in Rsr~
lin, Germany, last winter, l noticed
numerous sand piles surrounded by
happy children of all ages, and, won
dering why they were allowed the priv
ilege of scattering the sand In this
otherwise very tidy city, I made in
Guiries. and learned that before thu
old Emperor William died he ordered
large piles of sand to be placed at in
tervals on Inter den Linden, and also
in all the large parks throughout tha
city, for the benefit of the poor child
rem who live in the crowded tenemsa&
houses.
The pleasure proved to be so great
that the children of all classes, rich
and poor, mingled together, all armed
with spoons. paddles, buckets, and
pans. In Victoria park, which is situ-
ated in the poor" district, there il
one solid acre of fine white sand, where
on fine day, hundreds of children dig
and play, enjoying the kindness Of the
old emperor. This impressed me a.
the greatest kindness ever witnessed.

DIVISION OF FLORIDA.
An Impracticable Questio :, Declares a
Local Paper.

Abiding tc the action of the Young
Mems BUSINESS League of Pensacola in
passing resolutions favoring the an
nexation OF that part of Florida west
Of the Alphabetical river to Alabama,
the Jacksonville Times Union in a
leading editorial says
The subject has been much dis
cussed in west Florida and Alabama of
late years, and it may be added that no
question so impractical has ever
received more serious attention. We
characterize the project as impracti-
cal because it will depend for it's sue
cess on the support of so many Sec
tons. 1t cannot be done without the
consent of Alabama, of Florida at
large and Of the people of that portion
of the state that would be annexed to
Alabama if the plan were carried out.
There is no doubt of the approval
Of Alabama, though Mobile would
doubtless oppose the proposition If
it would benefit Pensacola, as it might
to very slight extent, it would be so
at the expense of Mobile It's benefit
to Pensacola and injury to Mobile,
however, is doubtful, and would be of
small amount, for transportation lines
care little for state pride. They will
ship through the port which offers the
bost facilities, and the exporters of
Ala bama products are not apt to make
it condition with the transportation
no off ;ro hn 11x tor 1,
The products be exported through an
Alabama port. Much of the iron OF
Alabama is already shipped through
Pensacola, in spite of the state line,
and it is not certain nor even probable
that appreciably more would be
shipped through that port If Pensacola
were an Alabama city.
But while the hope of gain in bust
ness, however remote and uncertain,
might influence number of business
en- in Pensacola to throw state pride
way and consent to annexation to
another state, no su,h motive would
apply to the remaindar of west Flor
ida. rhe state pride of the people of
that section would cause them to OPP
pose the proposition and they would
have no motive for favoring it.
But even if west Florida were will
ing the balance of the state would GER
tainly not be, and the majority against
the measure in the state as a whole
would be large. No state has ever yet
given up thickly settled territory, and
there is no reason to believe that Flor
ida will take the lead in a movement
for the readjustment of State lines
The talk of removing the capital
from Tallahassee has added something
to the little vitality that was already
in the movement, but it has not added
enough to make it at all probable
that it will ever amount to anything
more than talk"

SUGAR AND SUGAR CANE.

1t was recently announced that the
managers of the great sugar refinery
soon to be erected in Tampa had begun
operations by the purchase of site OF
some IA acres, and the fact may be ac-
cepted as an indication of the energy
and good faith of those behind the
enterprise. The land selected is locat-
ed on tidewater and will afford ample
accommodation for the docks and ware
houses necessary for the successful
operations of any extensive plant as
that about to be operated by the
South Florida Sugar Planting and Re-
filming Company. In this connection ID
was suggested that ample dock room
might be required, since were the home
supply of cane to prove inadequate. 1t
was proposed to depend largely upon
importations from Cuba. 1t need
hardly be said that the people OF south
Florida should see to it that no such
necessity shall ever arise, and that the
new refinery Is at all times kept sup
piled with all the sugar cane 1t can
handle. Jacksonville has long felt the
necessity of securing more manu-
featuring enterprises and the establish
ment here of such sugar refinery as
that upon which Tampa is now con-
graduating herself has for some time
past been ably advocated by prominent
and practical experts.-Flordia Times

would do every one good, but since We
are not all inclined to such radical
changes there is left t us the sensible
change TO lighter meats. which proves

bacon, and, above all. fish, give a wide

BIBLE IN SCOTCH DIALECT.
A Publication That Few Probably Car
Understand.

The Scriptures have been translated
into Scotch-to speak accurately, the
New Testament, for the experiment is
to extend only to that now. Such a
translation must be one of two thing :
1t must be either in a dialect that is
impure and unliterary, or in dialect
that is no longer familiar to the null
titude. AS we learn from the publisher,
Alex. Gardner, Paisley, the experiment
is to be in the latter, in the Scotch OF
the early century, that is tosay:
interviewed on the point on behalf
of the London Leader. Mr.. Gardner
said his Testament in the braid Scotch
which is still only in manuscript,
would not be in the Glasgow or Pals
ley Scotch of the present day, but
would more resemble Burns. 1t would
not be archaic, but neither would it
be corrupt Here, for instance, is the
Lords Prayer" said Mr.. Gardner:
Father O. usa', bidin' Aboon! Thy
name be hole! Lat Thy reign begin!
Lat Thy wull be dune. hath in Yirth
and Heevin! Gle us ilka day cor need
flu feedin'. And forgie us a cor i'll
deeds. as we sen forgae thae wha did
us i'll and lat us no be sifut; but save
us frae the Ill-Ane; for the Groom is
Thine ain; and the MIGHT and the
glorie, of evir and evlr. Amen"
Presumably the author is a Scots.
MANI" Mr.. Gardner was asked.
'He is a Scotsman, but a Scotsman
resident in Canada, who has acquired
his knowledge of Scotch from books
only. He is a retired minister Mr.
Smith his name is, and he is over so
years Of age"
do you really think Scotch people
will understand it, Mr.. Gardiner"
Those who know their Burns per-
fectly will; other may be puzzled by
it,
"And English people?"
81 showed it to an English minister
the other day and he was greatly
tickled. His knowledge of the Script
ures aided him a little, but even at
that he was beaten to read it. intelli
gently"
you don't count, then, ON any great
demand for a book Of this kind"
mot in the sense that there is any
desire for it," said Mr. Gardner.
There is no need for such Scotch
Testament, as for a Gaelic one; and
you can guess whether it will ever be
used or recognized by the churches.
But it will be an interesting and
curious book, and on that account may
have some vogue" In answer to a
further question Mr.. Gardner mention
ed that the publication would probably
come in the autumn.
Asked if the Scotch rendering of the
scriptures was in any way ludicrous,
Mr.. Gardner remarked that that would
depend on the reader and his know
ledge of the dialect. "I'll show you
the manuscript" he said, "and you can
judge for yourself"
