DAMAGE TO FLORIDA CROPS.
Oranges and Pineapples Suffered Heavily
from Cold Snap-No Permanent Injury.
La rELEaRAPH no rnE rR1RuNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIRUNE.l
jacksonville, Fla, Feb 2-One week has passed
since the disastrous freeze, and the extent Of dam
age can now be figured with more or less accuracy
The most conservative estimate is that at least
500 900 boxes OF oranges were frozen. Many grove
owners had been holding for better prices. Nearly
one-thrd of the loss falls dealers who had
bought the crops on the trees. Bearing trees were
not injured to any extent ard the cold will not
affect the crop for next
Pineapples not a. badly injured at first
supposed. Not more than two-thirds of the spring
crop killed Pineapple growers along the East
Coast are already work setting out plants for a
new crop. Vegetables were cut down entirely but
as many of the larger growers had extensive seed
beds well protected, the replanting is progressing
rapidly, and within six weeks the crops of all kinds
will again be in fine condition.

Helpless TO Save Him.

At New York notwithstanding
desperate struggle Of his wife and SOD
to hold him by the feet after he had
tainted and toppled over the sill Of an
open window, Geooge F. Knapp, cash
ier Of the Cooper Exchange Bank, fell
to the ST. cot from the fourth floor OF
his home at No 2C9 West 9Th street
teday and was killed. Mrs. Knapp
and her son, Herbert, saw Mr. Knapp
who was in i'll health, suddenly fall
over backwards. Both mother aud
son jumped to the window in time to
seize the falling man by the feet.
They held him safely for few Sec
onds, screaming for help, but the as
sistance was slow in coming, and Mr..
Krapp's weight began to slip away
from his rescuers. The realization OF
this terrible fact caused the Wife's
strength to leave her completely and
the son, with bis mother helpless at
his side, compelled to hold his father
alone, was too light fol his fathers
superior weight. Exhausted and on
the point Of being dragged over the
window sill himself, the boy lost his
grip and MI. Knapp fell to the street.
he died soon afterwards.

THE MAGlClAN'S THUMB.
It Is His Worst Enemy In SleiSht Of
Hand Tricks.

It Is His Worst Enemy In SleiSht OF
Hand Tricks.
In every sort Of magic the magician's
thumb Is his worst enemy, says Nina
Carter Marbourg In Leslie's Weekly.
If he could strike off that thumb and
still have its assistance when neces-
sary he would be q happy man. In
closing the hand the thumb usually
bends toward the palm In advance Of
the fingers. In this way 1t many times
is much In the way, and practice Is
necessary to get magcian's thumb In
perfect training. But when he has
prac1ced In the school Of magic 9or
some time the thumb becomes so fe1i-
bic that it will bend nearly to the back
Of the hand.
Cards are invariably the beginning
of a magician's education. In handling
cards the thumb Ia especially In the
way, and this Is the reason why this
tickery with the pasteboards Is Sc
lected for the beginner. To change one
card for another in front Of ones very
eyes and still to have made no percep-
tible movement Of the hand Is a trick
that beginners learn to perform before
they have been tn the school for any
great length OF tme. This. as may be
imagined, Is a difficult piece Of work to
become proficient In, and here Is just
the place where determination plays
great part II success.

Big Fire in Bamberg.

a dispatch from Bamberg to the

Friday night fire, started probably by
rats, among the freight stored in the
Southern Railway depot, and await
ing delivery, destro Dyed the depot and
contents, and platfor N, six cars, load
ed with merchandise and cotton, and
cotton on the platform, in all 210
bales OF cotton, and damaged the
store OF b. c. Folk about 500; the
sales and livery stable OF Jones Broth
ers about 5000 and their stock Of We
hicles about $500. The losses on cot.
ton are estimated at sl1, 900; mer-
chandise in cars and depot at $4,000,
which includes cotton mill supplies
in the cars, worth $4,000, the depot
and platform at $4,000. Mr. Folk
was fully insured, as was probably
Jones Brothers, and the railroad and
cotton losses are doubtless covered.
The total loss Is from $40 900 to $780,

fought by bucket brigade.

The steamer Tartar, which arrived
at Victoria, B. c., on last Wednesday
night from the Orient, brought news
from Shanghai that the loss OF life
among the native OF the island at the
mouth OF the Yangtse River as re.
suls Of the typhoon at the beginning
OF September was tremendous. The
North China Dairy News. Of Shang.

ITO the east Of Tauagming, two
islands, one calling Yawoshwa, the
other Shihiousha, distant about twen.
ty miles from Woosubf, have suffered
much from the typhoon, nearly all the
inhabitants having been swept away.
The islands have only been Inhabited
for a Short time, comparatively speak
ing, as they are OF recent formation
and are not much above high Waiar
mark. It Is reported that nearly To-
600 people have been drowned on these
two islands and the smaller islands
adjacent. Tamagming itself has not
suffered much, being well above the
high water making
The Shanhai papers say that tie
damage to the Canadian Pacific Liner
Empress OF Japan by the typhoon will
necessitate the expenditure OF s100, 600

The ChcvrOn.

"Did you ever notice." Inquired an
old veteran, shat the sergeants and
corporals Of the army now wear their
cheyrons with the point up? It's only
been in late years that they've done so
The marines always did, but the army
for years had the points down It's
only lately that the chevron has been
understood. The chevron is inherited
from the feudal days and meant a roof.
4 man who had rank enough to be a
noncommissioned officer was required
to be a freeholder, man who owned
the root over his head The chevron
represented a gabled roof. The pri-
Yates owned no home. The Increase IN
rank for different grades Of noncom-
missioned officers was measured by
additional roofs, the eergeant for In
stance, having three cheVrons against
one for the lance corporal. You'll find
that nearly all OF these military devices
have some origin Of historical interest"

THE POWER TO PLEASE.
A Potent Factor For Success In Any
Career you Hay Adopt.

Potent Factor For Success In Any
Career you Hay Adopt.
The power to please is tremendous
asset What can be more Taluabas
than personality which always at
tracts, never repels? 1t is not only
valuable in business, but also In every
field Of life. It makes statesmen and
politicians; it brings clients to the law
yer and patients to the physician; it is
worth everything to the clergyman. NO
matter what career you enter, you can
not orerestimate the Importance OF cul-
tirating that charm Of manner, those
personal qualities, which attract people
to you. They will take the place OF
capital or influence; they are often a
substitute for a large amount OF hard
work
Some men attract business, custom
ers, clients, patients, as naturally as
magnets attract particles Of steel. EV-
erything seems to point their way, for
the same reason that the steel particles
point toward the magnet-because they
are attracted.
Such men are business magnets.
Business moves toward them even
when they do not apparently make half
SC much effort to get it as the less sue
cessful. Their friends call them "lucky
DOGS" But If we analyze these men
closely we find that they have atTac-
tive qualities. There Is usually some
charm Of personality about them that
wins all hearts.-Success.

The Great City.

It never misses; 1t can never miss
any one. It loves nobody; it needs no
body; it tolerates all the types Of man
kind. 1t has palaces for the great
Of the earth; 1t has crannies for all the
earth's vermin. Palace and Granny
vacated for a moment find new ten
ants as equally as the hole one makes
in a stream-for as a critic London Is
wonderfully open minded. On success
sive days it welcomes its king going
to be crowned, its general who has
given it a province, its enemies who
have fought against it for years, its
potentate guest from Teheran-it will
welcome each with identically raptur-
GUS cheers. This is not so much be-
cause Of a tickle mindedness as be-
cause, since it is so vast, it has au-
diences for all players. 1t forgets very
soon, because it knows so we'll that IN
the scale Of things any human achieve
