FLORIDA FANCIES."

The Courier office is in receipt of
bearing the title Of Florida Fancies,"
written by F. r. Swift, a New York
yachtsman, and published by the
Knickerbocker press.
In this little book the author tells
about the scenery and relates inter
esting adventures encountered on
hunting trip along the st. Johns and
Ocklawaha rivers. The author did not
spend his time luxuriating in some
palatial hotel but went out into the
wilds where he could enjoy our incom-
parable scenery.
He also tells about the music of the
Florida evening which commences
with the shrill call of the coot, the
scream of the blue heron and the troll
ley trill of the raft duck, the weird
whispers of the boot, and the hoarse
cry of the alligator, which he was
Obliged to listen to, as in many in
stances he was not able to leave the
yacht for several days, as everything
for miles was swamps and lakes.
The author sailed through lakes,
swamps and river to Lake Okecho-
bee, from where an Indian boy ac-
companied them, who was later killed
by a monster alligator, which meas
ured fourteen feet ten inches, and
weighed about eight hundred pounds.
The book is elegantly illustrated by
Albert Z. Swift, and is one of the most
interesting of it's kind ever written.

Florida the Best State in the Union.

Florida has ten million acres today
for sale. that are most admirably
adapted to the business of poultry
farming. The climate offers eXcep-
tional advantages since here the ex-
pense of artificial heating is not neces-
sary, and food is easily and cheaply
grown in connection with the business.
All this land is equally fit, but the
cost would vary in proportion to trans
portation facilities-access to trunk
lines being possible for every acre.
Since the business is one of the most
profitable in the country, requiring
little capital, why is not Florida being
settled? The only reason is that few
know of these advantages and the
knowing few have a snap.-Times-U I'm

ocALA NEEDS 1T BADLY.
A Preparation That Lays Dust-Is
Used Successfully in California.

After years of scientific research and
practical experiments Leonard Schade
Van westrum, the inventor of Wes-
trumite, claims to have finally sue
ceeded with the assistance of author
tiles from the first rank in chemistry
and road building, in producing
clinical compound which is ~solu-
BILE in water and which caan, there
fore, be easily distributed by means of
the ordinary water wagon. The min
ute distribution which is thus posi-
BILE permits the compound to pene-
trate through the pores of the finest
stone, sand clay, etc. and it's capac-
ity Of absorbing fresh water is said to
be sufficient to renew its binding ca
pacity after each rain, whereby the
are closed, as well as to lay the dust
which may be blown upon the track
from adjoining fields, etc.
The best results, it is said, will be
if the sandy or earthly surface is sat
Urated to a depth of six inches with
a solution of from % to so per cent.
Such saturation will amount to about
1900 per mile, it is claimed to be suf-
ficient to render the roadbed abso-
lutely gree from dust for years, and
to make the roadbed a compact, elias
tic mass, which will be able to with
and prevent the losening of the rails.
If after a period of several years
should make its temperance to a
dust should make it's appearance to a
slight degree this new dust can be
effectualy laid by sprinkling the sur
face with a solution of from to 10
per cent. which will cost from $40 to
$40 per mile.
In sections where it is merely nee
essary to lay the dust and no value
need be placed upon the solidity of
the roadbed, applications of Westrum-
lite in 10 per cent. solution, repeated
at intervals at six to ten times a
year, and which will cost about $40
per mile per application, will be suf-.
ficient to secure freedom from dust,
Although Westrumite has not yet
been used to any extent for the above
purpose for the reasons that the duty
on oil makes it's use for that purpose
in foreign countries prohibitive, the
results which have been obtained
by it's use on thousands of miles of
macadem and dirt roads seems to war
rant the assertion that it will be
equally effective for use on roadbeds.
Two miles of the midway drive which
have for some time been treated with
Westrumite by the South Park Com
misioners of the city of Chicago,
tend to indicate, from the appearance
of the streets and the results obtained
in rendering it dust free and it's sur
face hard and elastic, that the state
mentS herein made can be fully sub
tantiated.-Railway Age.

THE POOR JEW.

An account of the terrible suffer-
ings of the Jews in Russia, which we
find described in our evening paper,
recalls an incident in our law prac-
tice many years ago.
A good deacon in Vermont had
heard so much said by his pastor
about the wicked Jews that his SYM
pathies were aroused, and when he
died and his will was opened it was
found that he had left five hundred
dollars To "the poor Jews" The exc
cutor of the will wrote me and asked
me to find some poor Jews in BOs-
ton. 1 employed a man to make
careful search, and was compelled to
write the executor that we could not
find a poor Jew in Boston. This was
something over forty years ago, and
there were few Jews in our city, and
they were all prosperous. We believe
the money was sent to some society
in New York.
A frind asks us why the Jews are
so terribly prosecuted in Russia, and
we answer that we do not know I'M
less it is the Russian way of con-
verting Jews into Russian Christians.
We remember reading how a very
wicked Irishman, when making his
final confession to the priest just be-
fore dying, related so many crimes
that the priest asked him if he had
never done a good thing in his life.
And he said that he had done one
it was, and he said, Il convarted a
Jew" How did you convert him?"
said the priest. We'll, 1 had him out
wild me in a boat and l axed him
would he be a Christian, and he said
he wouldn't be a Christian, so l put
him over the side Of the boat and
put his head under water a bit, and
then when l let him up l axed him
would he be a Christian, and he said
lie NOuluH 81 lllCH put Ills liCSiu
under water a longer bit, and when l
let him up l axed him would he be
a Christian, and he said he would be
a Christian, and so l convarted him."
But how do you know" said the
priest, that he remained converted?"
"Oh, 1 put his head under the water
the third time that he might die in
the faith"
This seems very similar to the plan
adopted of conveting Russian Jews
into Russian Christians.
In this connection we remember that
when investigating the cattle question
some years ago, we found, by what
seemed to be reliable statistics, that
in various European countries Jews
lived, on the average. about five years
longer than Christians, which was sup
posed to result somewhat from the
great care taken by the Jews to eat
only the meats of perfectly healthy
animals.
We believe that the Jews take great
pains in this respect, and that Jewish
dealers in meats never put into their
meats, for the purpose of preserving
them, fOrmaldehyde or other poisons,
as is done, we fear. by not a few of
our (so-called) ChristiOn Dealers
