Out On the Sea.

(Mrs. Marean, writer of the follow
ing poem, which appeared in a recent
issue of the Ocala Banner, Is the
mother of Mrs B. S. Bernard and Mrs.
r. j. Owens, of this city, and was re-
Gently bereaved Of her husband and
son, who passed away within three
days of one another.)
Out on the sea, deaths mystical sea,
l knew my loved ones were drifting
from me;
Their eyes sought mine till they
grew so dim,
My weeping imagine was lost to them.
Their hands grew cold in mine until
Their pulse ceased and their hearts
were still,
And my beloved, my very own,
Went braveiy out to the great I'M
known.
Out on the sea, the deep placid sea,
With tender adieus they went from
me,
And l dared not ask them longer to
stay, s-2, .
though with grief pay heart would
pine away;
For they said: Dear one, but for
your sake
The voyage is one we long to take;
We'd feel neither sorrow nor regret
That our ship awaits with sails all
set"
"Out on the sea, the broad restless
sea,
Let our freed spirits go graceiuilyj
Do not hold us here with prayer and
tears
From that fair shore that cen now
appears.
Grieve not dear heart that you are
left alone,
For immortals love and claim their
own,
And when you enter deaths mystery,
Well come for you over the signing
sea-
Out on the sea, the great silent sea,
Their words come echoing back to
me;
I'll hear them call me from far away,
AS l tread the lonely beach some
day;
I'll see glad smiles DER their features
play,
That my earth work is done-Ah,
blessed day,
Their loving arms will encircle me
AS reunited we cross the sea.
BEATRICE MAREAN.

A FRIENDS ADVICE
Something Worth Listening To.

A young Nebr. man was advised by
a friend to eat Grape-Nuts because he
was all run down from a spell of fever.
He tells the story:
Last spring L. had an attack of
fever that left me in a very weak con-
dition / had to quit work; had no ap-
petite, was nervous and discouraged.
a friend advised me to eat Grape
Nuts. but | paid no attention to him
and kept getting worse as time went
by.
Il took many kinds of medicine but
none of them seemed to help me. My
system was completely run down, my
blood got out of order from want of
proper food, and several very large
boils broke out on my neck Il was
so weak | could hardly walk.
"One day mother ordered some
Grape-Nuts and induced ,me to eat
some. 1 felt better and that night
rested fine AS | continued to
use the food every day, | grew
stronger steadily and now have re-
gained my former good health. |

Red and White Wine.

Misrepresentation about the strength
of red and white wines exists" said a
vine grower. Because red wine has
a darker, richer look people think it is
more intoxicating. The opposite, real
ly, is the case. Red wines are made
by fermenting grape juice, skins and
seeds together. White wines are
made by fermenting juice alone. In
the skins and seeds there is a lot Of
tannin, and red wine contains much
tannin, while white wine contains
none. This tannin, an astringen;,
closes the pores of the stomach and
prevents the alcohol in the red wine
from entering the blood freely and
going. as the saying Is, to the head.
White wine, champagne for instance.
has no tannin, and hence its intoxicat-
ing properties are much more keenly
to be feared than those Of the tannin
filed red wine."-Philadelphia Bulle-

BLUFF SPRINGS.
Special to The Journal.

opCSidt " NC SOutHdis
Bluff Springs, Dec. love are hay-
ing a fine rain this morning. The
crops generally are about gathered
but there is some cotton yet in the
fields.
The large gravel bed just north of
the Bluff is now paying a handsome
profit but 1t is only being worked on
a small scale at Bluff Springs. On the
north is Pritchett's creek, a fine motor
power, supplied by pure running
springs capable of running a small fac
tory.
Where the L. & n. r. R. crosses
this creek there is a beautiful level
where a cotton factory could be run
by water power every day In the year
and the building site could be had
for a mere song. With a factory To-
Gated at this point the cotton crop
around it could be increased until the
needed supply could be bought off the
the wagons of the farmers.

ANNUAL DEAD
LETTER SALE
List Contains Almost Every
thing from Baby Rattle
to a Diamond Ring.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The curious
are looking forward to the annual auc-
ton of articles accumulated in the
dead letter division of the postoffice
department which will begin on the
18th OF this month. These sales gen.
orally take place about the middle of
December, thus giving a bidder the
chance Of securing Christmas pres
ents for friends at a price somewhat
lower than that for which the same
articles could be purchased at store.
Last year the proceeds of the sale
amounted to S7,05403. while the money
taken out of letters amounted to ST.
O29. These two amounts were placed
in the Treasury.
About five years ago some of the
clerks, whose duties consisted of sort
ing and cataloging the articles to be
sold, conceived plan to buy valuable
articles at ridiculously low prices. A
package containing some cheap arti-
cles and perhaps valuable watch or
ring was prepared and catalogued as
two neckties, a damaged shirt, etc"
The clerk would then make note of
the number of the package, and when
that package came up for sale, the
clerk or one of his friends would bid
it in for little or nothing compared
! with the value. Inspectors made an
investigation and several clerks lost
their positions. An order was then
issued that 'etc" should not be used
in the future and that the contents of
the package should be accurately de-
scribed. s.--
This year G,531. packages of miscel-
laneous articles, 1888 books. and
439. of jewelry are to be sold, which
comprise almost everything from
baby rattle to diamond ring.

VNOL SETTLES
HE COD LIVER OIL QUESTION.

TIE COD LIVER CiG SOGS lON'
No one will dispute the curative
and strength creating value of cod
liver oil. For centuries it has been
recognized as the grandeSt of all
healing and bodybuilding agents for
wasted human strength and vitality.
Yet, owing to the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal ele-
ments. end which has no value either
as food or medicine, many patients
weakened by disease cannot digest ii
either in its raw form or an emulsion,
and others will not take it on account
OF its disaGreeahle Odor and taste
consequently it's value is lost.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists-Morgues
and Gautier-should interest every
person in Pensacola, for all of the
tonic. bodybuilding and curative ele-
ments of cod liver oil are now sena-
rated from the greasy, useless oil. and
given to the people in delicious vi
mol. For this reason it is fast super
seding old-fashioned cod liver oil and

As a body-builder and strength
creator for old people. weak women.

Travellers in Tibet describe the won
derful storms of dust that occur in
Kashgaria, near the foot Of the Kuer-
Lun mountains. The dust in the air Is
sometimes so dense that complete dark
ness prevails. Occasionally rain falls
during such storm. but the raindrops
evaporate during their descent, and the
dust carried with them falls in Jumps.
Entire forests Of poplar trees are buried
in dust hillocks forty feet high. These

He denied having stolen the pants
and claimed that he had purchased

Letters Found Among Pos.

Be James Clark.
AND THAT HIS TRADE WAS
BRIDGE BUILDER-cAME HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND Sc.
CURED ROOMS AT NO. 1o5 EAST
INTENDENcIA STREET, WHERE
HE WAS FOUND DEAD.

A stranger supposed to be James
Clark, of st. Louis, Mo-, was found
dead in bed yesterday morning at the
boarding house of Mrs. Wandell, No
los East Intendencia street. Death
was due to swallowing a large guam,
tity of carbOlic acid and whiskey with
evidently suicidal intent, and when
discovered the man had probably been
dead for some hours, as his body had
grown cold.
The man came to Pensacola Satur,
day afternoon, or at least he went to
the boarding house then, and secured
had come from st. Louis and intended
going to work for Frank Daniels,
building trestle across one of the
bayous west of the city. He did not
appear down-hearted or morose during
the time he remained in the boarding
house, but on the other hand appeared
to be jolly and good natured
Sunday night he retired early, but
before retiring requested Mrs. Wan.
dell to wake him early Monday morn
ing as he wished to take the first car
going out and reach Lbs work.
Yesterday morning in compliance
with these instructions Mrs. Wandell
sent boy to the room of the stranger,
which was also occupied by boarder,
and the boy endeavored to awaken the
man, and failing, called Chas. Mccall,
who quickly discovered that the man
was dead. and furthermore that he had
been dead for some hours
Coroner Notified.
Coroner Nicholson was notified
shortly afterwards, and heard the
statements of those who had known
the man since his arrival in the city.
He decided that an inquest was I'M
necessary, and came to the decision
that the man came to his death from
taking carbolic acid.
In a glass near the bed was a small
quantity of carboiic acid and whiSkey,
showing that the man had mixed the
deadly poison with whiskey. He left
no letter or message, however, and the
coroner ordered that the body be
turned over to the county undertaken
for burial, which will be done.
An examination showed that the
mouth and throat Of the deceased had
been terribly burned by the acid, and
his death must have been most pain
full one.
Another in Room.
There was another boarder in the
room who occupied bed opposite
that in which Clark died, but during
the night he heard nothing, and was
not aware of the fact that he was Oc-
'cuping a room with corpse until he
was aroused by the boy coming to
woke Clark.
Letters found among the effects of
the deceased show that he was
bridge builder by trade, and that dur
ing the past year he, had visited sew
eral cities in Texas, Chalmette, La,
Hot Springs and other places. From
one Of the letters it is judged that his
home was in st. Louis. he was man
about so years of age, clean shaver
and weighing about IT'S pounds.
The deceased had no money on his
person or among his effects with the
exception of a ten-cent piece.
