FITZ'S LAME HAND.

Fitz claims that his lame hand is
now fully restored to usefulness but
am not so certain his claim is iusti.
fed by the facts, says Macon in the
Enquirer. I don't mean to infer by
this that he is wiIlfully prevaricating
He may think that his hand is as
good ms ever IL was. and there Is a pos
sibility that he Is right in so believing,
but as ] have said before in these
columns have my doubts about brok-
en- hands and injured arms ever being
restored to their original good condi-
ton, and | also have my doubts as to
the men who possess limbs so injured
ever having perfect confidence in them
again For this reason MS well as for
the fact that ! know that Fitz has
passed the forty year line I do not
consider that he IL within 20 per cent
of the pugIlist he was when he fought
Jim Corbett at Carson City. II doesn't
stand to reason that he should he. II
is the law of humanity that mans
physical powers wane after he reaches
the shady side of 40. Rubin and Shar.
key have nj least dozen years adyan-
tagc in youth over Ftz. Nevertheless,
these matches will attract great at.
teniion, and hoth will draw big money.
DIVISION OF PURSE.
have no faith In the published
statemnet that the lighters share OF
the receipts viii he divided, IL per
cent to the winner and - per cent To
the loser. Nowadays there are SO
many secret understandings and ar
rangements that published statements
of how tho gate money Is To he divided
cut very little ice with me, However
II makes no difference to the public
how the prize money is divided. All
|
that the public cares for Is that the
men shall fight their best. II is tho
fight they pay to see. aud they don't
care how the money is cut up between
the men.

Trilby Plantation.

We were at this delightful spot some
years ago; things have changed wonder
fully. The Sebastian River Land I'm
provement Co. has made some very fine
improvements on the front facing the
beautiful Sebastian bay. They have
planted hundreds of choice ornamental
trees and plants. We noticed several
varieties of palms, cedar tree wind breaks
have been planted the entire length of
the grove; the young orange trees are
bearing-there will be good crop next
year The manager for the company
keeps the groves in excellent condition;
he is using Morgan spading harrow this
season; he says they are the best of its
kind manufactured, and from our person
sonal observation we believe them to he.
On our down-river trip We had the pleas
IRE of witnessing this machine do some
fine work
I. :. Drake, w. w. Bissell and III. ii.
Todd, three prominent business men Of
New Rochelle, y. Y, are the owners of
this fine property. They contemplate
extensive improvements this summer:
Two artesian wells will give All ample
supply of water for irrigating purposes:
we noticed a very fine variety of conifers
on Messrs. Drake and Bissell's place.
They are being largely planted for wind
break ;the calistriss robusta makes pretty
hedge, rapid growers, and attain height
of , Ia 10 feet in one season.
The manager of this company is well
known on the river, and certainly de
serves credit for the excellent results at

Misdescribed Freight.

Occasionally a case gets into the
courts, and thus before the public,
alleging a misdescription by the
shipper of goods shipped, IN order
to secure a lower freight rate. But
such cases that come to public at
tentiOi are rare. On the other hand,
it is quite common to hear of COM
plants against the railroads, and
there is seldom n session of any
state legislature or of congress in
which there is not one or more bills
introduced to correct or prevent
the alleged misdeeds of the rail
roads. At the present time there
is being urged upon congress the
necessity of modifying the inter
state commerce law in such man
ner as to give the interstate COM
merce commission more power over
the railroads.
Meantime, while few cases of at
temptS on the part of shippers to
secure lower rates by falsely describ-
ing the goods shipped come opub-
lie notice, the number of shipments
under false prctcnScS Is very large
every year. The Railway Age saws
that during the year 1899 the in
spectors of the trunk lines doing
business from New York, Boston
and Philadelphia To the west dis
covered 23S,OOO instances i'm which
shippers miSdescribed goods actual
~ shipped, So as To get lower rates
on them, This was only in the
weStbound business for the three
cities named, As many as 1900
similar instances of fraudulent bill
ing were found among shipments
from the western tcrmini of the
same roads. 1t is quite apparent
that the railroads are not all alone
in alleged wickcdncSS i'm connrc-
ton with treightS and rates. MANY
shippers are a. willing and eager to
hoodwink and dcfraud the roads a.
the roads are To take advantage of
every loopholc in the law 10 in

loo Many of Them.

The following suggestion. taken
from Learning By Doing, is quite
as appropriate in many instances
to parents as to teachers:
There are teachers who need to
be admopished that there is a
wide difference between entertain
ing children and teaching them.
Except, perhaps, as a temporary
recreation or diversion, no school
room exercise is worth anything
unless it involves work. Many
teachers in the misapplied and
mischievous willingness of a kind
ly disposition "help" the child in
to mental atrophy. In every
lesson, by suggestive word and
question and all too ready ex-
PLANTATION and illustration, the
teacher deprives the child of all
mental initiative, and accustoms
MIN to having all his thoughts
ready-made, and to being carried
over all difficulties on a feather
pillow. This is no kindness, it is
grave wrong, which is none the
less a wrong because the child is
led to look upon it as kindness.
The time will come when he will
know better, and when he will not
remember with approval the good
teacher" who was only a mental
wet nurse. The really kind teach
er is he or she who steadily stimu-
lates the child's activities and
early leads him to acquire a taste
for the pleasure that accompanies
keen ard effective brain-wOrk.
