With its opportunities dead.

For every year is sherter year,
Aud this is truth sublime
A moment misspent is a jewel lost

of them dreaded man eaters, while his
bags Of other wild animals would be
difficult to number. Terrible as is the
tiger. the wild boar is even more saw
age and dangerous to attack. His
tusks frequently grow to nine or ten
inches in length and are as sharp as a
razor. Tigers have q special dread Of
him. and in their encounters. which
sometimes happen, he nearly always
comes out victor. In pig sticking.
which is always done with a spear on

his disemboweling horses. in which

blance to the women of the country.
One would think they belonged to a

reason probably is the low, degraded

of an individual who. being ordered to
take a hot bath by his doctor, complied
with the order and remained in it IN

The doctor exclaimed when he heard.

TAMPA TRIBUNE SAYS IT MAY
REALLY PROVE A BLESSING
RATHER THAN INJURY TO THE
STATE.
The Tampa Tribune says editorial

The Tampa Tribune says editorial
ly:
AS the DAYS glide by and Dame
Nature resumes her benign sway, ex'
tending her gracious fayors in the
most delightful weather conditions, Il
becomes more apparent that the late
freeze was not so destructive as wa
az first feared. While some tender
vegetables were destroyed, celery, the
main crop of the season is only delay
ed in maturing a couple OF weeks and
will then have heavier and better
hearts than otherwise would have been
the case, and the delay will only per-
nit the exhausting of the California
celery in the market and secure to
the growers OF this section better
prices than if it had been thrown on
the market earlier.
The strawberry shipments, while
somewhat belated, have continued IN
smaller quantities as il there had been
no freeze. Cabbage is all the better
and the Irish potatoes had not yet
shown their heads above the soil.
The great orange industry Of South
Florida, was the question which most
interested our people. The shipments
OF oranges for the past year almost
equaled that preceding the great
freeze OF ten years ago. New groves
were being raised in all parts OF the
state and there was again danger OF
over-production, while the old eva o.
consigning fruits to irresponsible com
mission houses was again robbinS our
growers OF the fruits of their labor
and kept the prices Of fruit lower dur
ing the past season than for several
years, and the early shipment OF green
fruit was also destroying the market
for the Florida product. The white
Nv had obtained a footing in many Of
the groves and was working havoc TO
the industry.
Now comes the late freeze while the
trees are dormant and destroys the
foliage Of the old trees without injury
20 the trees themselves and with this
foliage goes the insects and their eggs,
leaving the trees TO put on a new,
healthy growth unincumheTed by pesti-
ferrous insects. Many of the young
groves, IL is true, are set back for a
year or two. but IL will enure to the
benefit of those owning the Older

orange growers more careful Of their
fruit. In this effort 10 secure better
prices consignments viii doubtless be
abandoned and the growers will sell 70

pared TO pay a fair valuation for the
fruit, and having regular customers

10 ship the fruit green, but will wait
until it fully natures and has attained
its natural sweetness.
Hence in many ways the late frceZE
will prove a benefit rather than an in

The atmospheric waves are very

BY some peculiar coincidence, with
possibly one exception il has rained
on the opening night o. every assem-

worst weather ever experienced IN
Florida was al the date OF the opening
six years ago.
Further particulars in reference to
the burning of the home of B. P. EGge,

The Orange Tree.

The orange tree is regarded as a
prince among trees and the emblem Of
genius. A popularity Of this tree 10
that it bears fruit and flower at the
same time. It's leaves are evergreen.
and as It grows older it grows in beau
ty and fruitfulness. its blossom filing
the air with its fragrance. 1t is indeed
a 1T emblem Of marriage promise and
hopes. The orange tree is considered
typical OF love because. though its fruit
is golden and its favor and scent deli.
cious, Its rind is bitter. and. as every
one knows who has experienced It. Gu
pid's dart causes pain. The orange is
emblematic OF gratitude as well as Of
genius and love.

Great Damage to Timber.

Hebron, Miss, Feb. 9.-The steady
rains which fell here Friday and Sat

Much damage was done to fences,
telephone and telegraph lines running
through timbered country. Orchards
are badly injured, ana many forest
trees are stripped of their branches.
Roads in many places are impossible,
being filed with broken timber. Few
people of this place have. ever seen
any thing of its kind so destructive.
