THEY LOST A GIRL.
Searching Party Failed to Find Her But she was Picked Up on the Way.

Dr, BIomes physical geography class held a picnic at the Hieroglyphic Springs Friday not only for the p1r- pose of enjoyment but also to study rocks and other things that pertain to that class of study. So far as study and pleasure were concerned it was grand success but there was one incl dent that caused some excitement fo" a time and until the wanderer was found presented father a serious as- pect to the other members of the party.
 The class went in two large hay racks and on account of the condition of the road in the canyon the wagons were abandoned some distance from the springs and all walked the rest of the way. When it came time to return to the wagons one young lady being rather tired and thirsty started on ahead but in some unaccountabie manner took the wrong canyon and missed the rigs. This rather confused her and she kept on going and finally walked the entire distance from the springs to the first house this side of there, a distance of several miles. When the rest of the party reached the wagons and the absence of the young lady was noticed. there was great excitement. The young men were organized into searching parties and taking with them anything thal would hold water took up the search for it was feared something serious had happened. The remaining mem- bers of the class took the wagons and started homeward. What was their surprise and joy when upon reaching the canal they found the wandering young lady peacefully seated under a

 A John Hopkins instructor said of him the other day:
 When Dr. Osler was a student at .he McGill university. in Montreal. he paused on the street one day beside d cow that had become stubborn and would not move along. He regarded the COW for some time. Then he took a box of pills from his pocket and gave one to the animal. She swallowed the pill willingly and then at a. breakneck speed she made off down the road.
 "The drover watched her disappear. Then he turned to young Osler and laughed strangely.
 T say give me one of those pills. will you?" he said.
 What for?" said Osler.
 Why returned the drover I've got to follow that beast"

Of fire Commissioner Thoams Sur gis of New York a story has been re- gently circulating through the city hall.
 This story, which is not sworn to, IS to the effect that MT. Sturgis few days after his appointment boarded a train and sat down beside a fat ran il. the smoking car.
 The fat man took cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Then he struck match, but before he could make use of it. MT. Sturgis blew II out
 The fat man glared at the commiss- toner. But he said nothing for he thought that perhaps the match had been blown out by accident. He lighted another match, regarding his compan- ion closely as he did so. This time there could be no mistake. MT. Sturgis leaned over. distended h:s cheek and puff-the match was out.
 By jingo" said the fat man. this is the second time you have deliberate y put out my match"

Strawberries Galore.

Palatka's market is supplied with
strawberries from December to the
middle of June principally by reason
of their Intelligent cultivation by Mr.
r, F, Rigdon whose home is ut Pen
iel, four miles from this city. OF
course the output of his patch for the
first mentioned month is never large,
but he always has some berries for
Christmas, and they find ready sale
at fancy prices. This year the De-
cember pickings were smaller than
usual owing to the severe weather in
the latter part of November. His
pickings up to the present time, and
receipts, have been as follows: De-
cember % quarts, 50; January, 1l9
quarts, $39,05; February, go quarts,
S7l.3S: March, 1853 quarts, $297. 70.
TO April 9th, 563 quarts, $64.lO.
Mr.. Rigdon states the April yield
usually shows some falling off as
compared with March, but that in
May the yield is enormous. He ex-
poets that his patch of less than one
and one-half acres will bring him at
the lowest calculation $1,000 for the
present season.
Up to the present time all Of Mr..
Rigdon's berries have been market
in Palatka with the exception of 2O8
quarts sent to Providence, r.. I. His
berries are of the Klondile variety,
large and luscious.

Easter Services at st. Marks.

Easter day was ushered in at st.
Marks by an early celebration of the
Eucharist at 7 a. m. At 10 a. IN. a
beautiful children's service at which
all those present made floral offer
ings. At l a. m. the main service
of the day was held-a choral celebra-
ton of the Holy Eucharist, with
sermon. This service was conducted
by the Rev. Thos Richey d. D., of
New York city, the rector preach
ing. The service and floral decora-
tions at this service were most beau
tiful and elaborate. Great credit is
due all those who aided in putting in
place the beautiful flowers. The al
tar was banked high with red and
white roses and the chancel windows
and reredos covered with ferns.
The musical program given under
the direction of Mrs. Selden was SUI
perb. The choir rendered the most
beautiful service held in the city.
Miss DevereuX rendered the solo
parts in the most beautiful and effec-
tive manner, and the consensus of
opinion of those hearing the service
was that it could not be surpassed.
1t is needless to state that the seat
ing capacity failed to provide for the
crowd attending. liz the evening the
large congregation at the 7:45 O'Clock
service was treated to fine musical
program. Mrs. Bassett rendered at
this service a beautiful solo in the
most effective manner.
The Offering was very large at the
morning and the painting of church
and rectory is assured Immediately.
