Luxuriant Growth of Plant and Ami
 nal Life.

The islands of the Everglades are covered with Iuxuriant virgin forests. The Iveoaks and the bays are present in large numbers, interspersed with wild eucumbers, wild lemon and wild orange. The papaya, the custard apple land the prickly ash are of very fre- quent occurrence, and here and there, governed by the size and elevation of the islands, are the cabbage palmetto and the pine. Wild rubber trees are also found in some localities, growing to enormous size. Throughout the re- zion there is a phenomenal growth of vines. The morning glory and honey
 suckle attain great size and are almost everywhere. The wild fig, which fast ems itself about a massive trunk of liveOak or bay, lives it's canibal life un-
 til the supporting tree trunk has been destroyed. Wherever the land is dry i enough the coon tie plant arrowroot. This plant is really the Flcrida arrow root. II is the mainstay of the Semi nole. From it's root he extracts flour and starch, both of which are delicate
 and digestive.
 There is remarkable veriety and and prOusion of wild flowers. Water and pr0fusion of wild flowers. Water lilies and spider lilies abound. Orchids are found in great numbers and Care of great beauty. On many of the is- lands grow giant ferns, the fronds of
 which measure ten feet in length. The shores of the streams by which
 the lades are entered are covered with
 rank growths of the cocoa plum. The same tree grows all about the edge of the lades, producing blue fruit on the i eastern edge and white fruit toward the west. The flora of the whole region is
 unique and unstudied, and contains, no
 doubt, scores of plants unknown and unclassified.
 l The Everglades are not sportsman's
 paradise, in the usual sense of the 1 term. Nevertheless, animal life is fair
 ly abundant in that portion of the area
 where the larger islands lie. Deer are Hound on both the eastern and west
 ern edges, and now and the bear is 1 seen. The panther has not entirely
 disappeared, an occasional one finding it's way into the explorers camp. Ot- ters are plentiful, and the Seminoles,
 who hunt both the otter and the alli-,
 gator for their skins, derive a consid-
 erable revenue from their otter trap
 ping. The alligator is often seen, and
 his gentle roar is by no means unmusi-
 cal. On the southeastern edge he cro-
 codile (Crocodilus Americus) is found
 in small numbers, though his more -favorite haunts are among the man.

SITUATION IN MOSCOW.
Comparative Quiet After Three Days
 of Excitement.
(Continued from First Page.)

Moscow, Oct. 9.-After the exciting events of the last three days, to-day passed in comparative tranquility. The strike of the bakers, printers and carmen continued and was joined by the theatrical mechanics, Two large gatherings of the strikers were held in the open air, at which red flags were waved, but otherwise the proceedings were orderly and the manifestants dis persed of their own accord. There were no serious collisions with the troops and the feeling was much less tense. All. the stores except the --~l Philipon bakery were open.
 Traffic was resumed on all the streets with the exception of the Tverakoi boulevard, the center of the previous disorders, which was closed with troops and police at all the intersect- ing streets. Detachments of Cossacks, dragons and mounted police patrolled the vicinity and kept the crowds mov~ | ing. Infantrymen and cavalry were held under arms in the court yards of l the police stations in various parts of 1 the city.
 The non-appearance of the newspa- pers, resulting in the lack of authen- l tic information, furnished field for many alarming rumors. Among these | rumors was one to the effect that there had been a collision between the troops and a mob in which ten persons, vari-
 ously reported as Cossacks, police or civilians, were killed. This rumor has
 been authoritatively denied. It was
 also reported that artillery had been
 posted in front of the palace of Gov
 ernor General Durnovo for the purpose
 of, defending it against anticipated at tacks.
 A meeting of workmen held during l the day sent a deputation to the chief of police for permission to hold a mass l meeting to discuss questions relating to the strike. Notwithstanding that , this request was refused, crowd o1
 2,000 persons assembled at o'clock
 this evening in the presence of strong
 detachments of Cossacks and other | troops and resolved to continue the
 strike until all the employers hat granted the strikers demands. The
 meeting then dispersed.

There need be no surprise at the
comparatively small estate left by Jo-
seph jefferson" said A. L. Erlanger.
ITO be sure the immense earnings
from his many seasons in Rip Van
Wrinkle and his keen sense of business
led the public to believe that there
would be millions of dollars left when
the great old man of the American
stage died; but TO those who knew of
the charitable side of his personality,
and the free hand with which he gave
money away TO members of the profess
sion who needed it, there should be no
surprise that this is not the case
81 was associated with Mr.. jefferson
for many years, and knew, probably,
more about his charities than any one
else In fact, | distributed thousands
of dollars every year for him, without
being asked to account for it in any
way. At the least call for aid Mr. JEFF
ferson would say, Look up this fellow
i used to know him-and if he needs
the money let him have it; only he's
kind of proud so don't let him think
it's charity
IF | wanted to, | could tell you the
names OF dozen or more actors, some
of them now living, who received reg
ular weekly amounts from Mr. Jeffer-
son, ranging from s25 up to 500. The
late c. w. Couldock | used to pay 500
every week, and 1t was Mr. Jefferson's
orders that Couldock should never
want for anything
"Couldock was a peculiar old man,
honest and candid, and little thing
like 800 week did not prevent his
saying what he thought OF Mr.. Jeffer-
son. Once Jefferson bought an apart
ment house up in Harlem, a fine, new
building, then very fashionable and
well appointed.
"'Couldock needs a good place to
live" he said to me Furnish a nice
apartment in the house for him, and
tell him 10 occupy it, rent free, with
my compliments, just as long as he
wants to-
Il sent for Couldock and gave him
the glad tidings. His gratitude was
something surprising. He stormed,
fumed and swore, and finally blurted
out in his most approved You are no
longer a chee-ild Of mine tone;
"What! Live in a tenement on that
old misers bounty! No, sir. No, sir.
Never-rr-r-r!'
He stalked out of my office, pound
ing the floor with his cane, and never
dared mention the subject to him
again."

CHINESE DOCTORS POPULAR.
Have Lucrative Practice In Western
Cities,

The method of treating sick persons
In some cities Is similar to that of The
other physicians of the United States
and those of Great Britain. They de-
pend much, however, on the examina-
ton of the pulse. Their sense OF touch
Is so wonderfully developed that IL Is
said they can determine the condition
OF the heart as well as some of the 9TH
er organs merely by the feableuess or
strength of the beats; but they say
there are no less than twelve different
movements of the arteries in the hu-
man body, all of which car be detect
ed by feeling the fingers, wrist and
arm, says an exchange.
When patient calls on him for ex-
animation, the doctor first presses the
arm, wrist and fingers. touching nearly
every part Sometimes ten or fifteen
minutes Is occupied with this examlna-
ton. Then he may ask IL the patient
Is married or single, and also his age:
but this Is about the limit of the ex-
animation. Apparently he can tell the
nature Of the disease without question
ing further and II the caller wishes a
prescription he writes one in the ordI-
nary Chinese characters OH a generous
sized square of paper
Ringing bell, he hands the prescrip-
tion TO the Chinese attendant who en-
ters, for each physician has his own
shop, filled with the ingredients which
he uses in treatment. If he has a large
practice he may employ a native chem
list, who makes up the prescription.
One of the curious features of Chi
nese medical treatment is the way in
which the physicians administer their
remedies Nearly all the Offices of the
principal doctors have what may be
called tea room attachment. This is
a spacious apartment, well lighted, fire.
quently ornamented with oriental pot
terry and pictures. and containing small
tables, each with two or three chairs.
II the invalid does not wish to take his
medicine at home, he is ushered into
the tables, drinks his prescription as he
would cup of tea or glass of wine
With but few exceptions the medicine
Is in liquid form. and served hot in
dainty Chinese bowls, for most of It is
composed OF decoction OF herbs.
Each table contains bowl of rais-
ins, and when the attendant brings in
the medicine he also brings in glass
OF tepid water. If the drink is bitter,
as it usually is, the patient can eat
some of the raisins to remove the taste,
while with the water he rinses his
mouth and throat. Then lie is ready to
go home, returning the next day for
another examination and dose.
