THE SOUTH FLORIDA METROPOLIS.

The Miami Metropolis has just gotten
out handsomely illustrated special
edition giving an interesting account
of the new metropolis of South Florida,
its origin, it's people and their pur-
suits. Miami is the farthest point in
the United States reached by a rail-
road. and takes pride in this fact.
Previous to 1896 II was only a spot in
the wilderness, with a very few set
tiers. Then the East Coast Railway,
H. M. Flagler's great property. was
extended down from Palm Beach in
April, 1896, and Miami sprang into ex-
istence almost at once. The foun-
dations of the magnificent Royal Palm
Hotel were laid, the channel of the
river was deepened, a bank opened, a
newspaper was established and BUSH
ness houses sprung up like magic. July
2S 1896, the place was Incorporated as
city under the laws of Florida, there
being 344 votes cast at the meeting
called for the purpose. Since then,
fostered by the wealth and brains of
Mr.. F'lagler, the city has constantly
increased in wealth and population 1t
is the center of the pineapple industry
of Florida, and being below the frost
line its orange trees have never suf-
fered from cold. Bananas and cocoa
nuts grow in profusion and early vege-
tables of every description are pro-
duced in quantities. Thousands of
copies of the special edition will be
circulated throughout the North for
the benefit of both tourists and home
seekers

MISSING SKIPPER FOUND.

Times-U Union and Citizen: The mys-
terry of the disappearance of the skip
per of the barkentine Harry Merry
day some weeks ago has been solved.
1t will be remembered that on the very
day the barlSentine was to sail on her
return to New York the skipper, Capt.
A. P. Thompson, whose home is In
Machias. Me-, came ashore to make a
few small purchases, among which was
a ships stove. From that moment the
crew never saw anything of him, and
over a week passed. l.. H. Merryday
of Palatka, owner of the vessel, was
telegraphed for, and came over to look
up the missing skipper, but could not
find him. While here he went to see
Mayor Fletcher to inquire If he could
lend any assistance. Mr.. Merryday
returned to Palatka, after sending his
ship of with another captain. He has
now Just received a letter from his
agent in New York, which gives as an
explanation of Capt. Thompson's dis
appearance that he is mentally unbal-
anced, temporarily, 1t is hoped.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS SNAP.

Marietta Journal: The office of Rail-
road Commissioner Is perhaps the best
in the state. 1t pays the salary of ST.
800 year, and only requires about two
days work a month. In addition the
commissioners are provided with two
secretaries and they have practically
little work to do. They are appointed
by the Governor for a term of six
years. For the six years work they
receive $4,000 and railroad passes
Judge Atkinson practices law in Allan
ia, Mr.. Brown farms in Pulaski coun-
ty, and Mr.. Jordan conducts a large
manufacturing business in Columbus.
The three commissioners meet about
twice month in sessions lasting about
a day and then go home again.
GEORGIA BETTER THAN ARKANSAS
Marietta Journal: Mr.. West Wallace,
wife and several children. got of the
train here Thursday morning. They
were just from Logan county, Arkan-
sas, where they had lived for seven
years They were en- route to their old
home in Forsyth county, Georgia. Mr..
Wallace said he had enough of Arkan-
sas and had come back to stay. He
said there were others there who want
ed to come back and some would IL
they could. There is no comparison be-
tween Georgia and Arkansas. Chills
and fever abound there and droughts
that render life hardly worth the liv-
ing. In Georgia we have good healthy
climate where If a man will work the
land he can do better than he can
there. There is more in the man than
in the land.

MADE HIM A BOY AGAIN

VIEWS ABOUT CHRISTMAS

he asked in one of those sudden bursts of con-

A snowsquan had come suddenly. covering

renewed his youth.

A VEGETARIAN REPAST.
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE CHRISTMAS GOOSE
AND TURKEY.

4 Christmas dinner without roast goose or
turkey. and without mince pie, is something of
an anomaly. But the vegetarian can devise one,
and those who are of his way Of thinking may
enjoy it Perhaps the great majority Of such
people keep house, and take their meals on hoil-
days. as Well as on other occasions, at home. In
a large city. however, many Of them eat in
restaurants and there is at least one institution
Of this kind in the metropolis that is conducted
On strictly vegetarian principles This is stu
ated in lower Fulton-st- Brooklyn. The pro-
r,rietor happens 70 be q Second Adventist, and
therefore closes the establishment on Saturdays
though he keeps il open on Sundays. Here is
the bill of fare which he promises his patrons
on Wednesday next:

vEGETABIf3s,
sweet F.ets. pnsch Ceiery Macaron. Carrots,
DESERT.
Rice Ar1vle Almond and Steamed Fruit Puddings.
Fresh Fruit Nuts in variety.
The greatest novelties in this menu are the so
called meat dishes" These somewhat resem-
hIe croduettes in appearance and texture The
materials are finely minced, and are sometimes
served with a sauce Of gravy For good busl-
ress reasons the exact composition IS kept
something Of a secret But neither flesh nor
fowl is used in preparing them one OF the
most important ingredients Is the meats Of yar-
of1s nuts which alone would BE both appetizing
and nutritious But the consumer cannot al
7ravs detect their flavor And as practically no
condiments are permitted. the taste for such
r,ra,,arations needs 10 be cultivated.
BESIDES the meat dishes which TO be
ez--a5 on Christmas Day, there are several more
somewhat like them which appear on the bill Of
fare On other occasions. There are nut meat
with egg nut meat hash, baked beans and nut
meat rprotose nut meat and nuttolene, for in

 The hallway leading through the first floor of the clubs apartments and the stairway leading to the reception room and parlor above, was transform ed into a gorgeous avenue of palms. The reception room where the guests | were greeted, was adorned in clusters of American Beauties. The table ar- ranged in the center was beautified by | artistic placing of American Beauties streamers of broad beauty ribbon twin ed with smilax were drawn from the chandelier to the table and caught in a full bow at the side of the table.

BIRDS.

Birds are the flowers of the air, their songs are the odors and their plumage are the petals; they are like flowers more or less beautiful. From the HKentucky Cardinal to the pale dove they vary: they gladden. the eyes of those that gaze upwards as do flow CTS when our eyes are downcast. They float in the air as leaves. sometimes sa=ss5r sa=ssyr ss falling leaf, sometimes in cratic flight as leaf blown here and there by capricious light wind: some times they dart by as leaf in a storm blast: they hover in great companies like Autumn leaves lifted in a whirl- wind; sometimes they journey. cutting through the air. taking a formation like an arrow hard driven from a bow
