People of Florida.


The people of Florida. God bless
them, are the most hospitable on the
earth. They are not only hospitable
but intelligent, and strange as it may
appear to prejudiced and ignorant
Northern haters of Southern manhod
and womanhood, they are patriotic.
The Fourth of July in Florida received
more heartfelt patriotic, private and
public, respect than in Kansas, whose
lippy profession of patriotism stulti-
fes true honor by eSteeming support
of the Republican ticket a guarantee
of loyalty to the flag Who ever in
Kansas saw a procession headed by
the flag of the Union, the streets lined
with thousands of people and as "OId
Glory" moved by witness the entire
people lift their hats and stand with
heads uncovered until the flag passed?
The soil, the commerce, the people,
the productions, the principles. the
patriotism and hospitality Of Florida
and her people rank with any other
state in the Union Spend a winter
in Florida and the ignorance and pre-
judice of lifetime will be eliminated.

While We have no disposition to
deny to either the Hon. Champ Clark
or Judge DeArmond any distinction
within their own party 10 which they
may aspire, it is difficult to see where
by the state of Missouri will be so
tremendously honored in securing the
minority leadership in the next house
/ through the retirement of Joan Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi. The minor
ity leader is supposed TO supply the
brains for the obstructive tactics of
the democracy. He is the collective
'retardatiOn of the lower house of con-
gress, the mouthpiece of the cumula-
tive unconstitutiOnalism which makes
up the democratic party. If any
measure affecting the welfare of the
country as a whole is proposed by the
Republicans, it is the duty of the mi
nOrity leader to rally the filibusters
and jawsmiths and deprive the ma
jority party of as much credit for it
as possible. He is the boss of the
gang that piles the ties on the track
in the effort to ditch the train.
Of course there must be a demo
cratic minority, just as there must
be fieas and mosquitoes, and there
must be a leader of the minority.

selected as the chief train wrecker,

girls to make the most of their oppor-

Maria Mitchell was the child of
honest poverty. She was one of ten
children. Washing the dishes for
this large family was her youthful
employment, and studying during
odd intervals. Her mother was a
true-hearted Quaker girl. Maria be-

to make Vassar College known and
honored. She was striking exam
pie of what a quiet country girl,
without money, can do for herself.
Louisa M. Alcott, the brilliant
author of "Little Women," &C., was
the child of poor parents. Her moth
er was an extremely lovely woman.
Frances E. Willard,-best beloved of
women,-was the child of a pious,
exemplary mother, and spent her
young years on an Ohio farm. There
she indulged in outdoor sports, gain
ing health and strength thereby,
and broadening her understanding by
observation.
These women I have mentioned,
and countless others just as worthy,

WOMAN,s ORIGIN.

Tradition says there was a scarcity
of solid elements at the time of her
creation.
AT the beginning of time Twashtri,
the Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology,
created the world, but when he wish
he had employed all his material in
the creation of man. There did not
remain one solid element. Then
Twashtri, perplexed, fell into a pro-
found meditation. He reused him.
self as follows
He took the roundness ofthe moon,
the undulations of the serpent, the in
twining of climbing plants, the trem-
bling of the grass, the slenderness of
the rose vine and the velvet of the
flower, the lightness of the leaf aud
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the suns rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency of the wind and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity of
the peacock and the softness of the
down on the throat of the swallow,
the hardness of the diamond, the
sweet flavor of honey and the cruelty
of the tiger, the warmth of fire, the
chill of snow, the chatter of the jay
and the cooling OF the turtledove. He
united all these and formed woman.
Then he made present of her to
man.
Eight days later the man came to
Twashtri and said:
my lord, the creature you gave
me poisons my existence. She chat
tiers without rest, she takes all my
time, she laments for nothing at all
and is always ill.,"
And Twashtri received the woman
again.
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said
"My lord, my life is very solitary
since / returned this creature. re-
member she glanced at me from the
corner of her eye, and she played
with me, clung to me"
And Twashtri returned the woman
to him.
Three days only passed and Twash-
tri saw the man coming to him
again.
"My lord," said he, II do not un-
derstand exactly how, but l am sure
the woman causes me more annoy
ance than pleasure. I beg of you to
relieve me of her,"
But Twashtri cried, "Go your way
and do your best u
And the man cried, II cannot live
with her |"
"Neither can you live without her.

And the man was sorrowful, muir
muring "Woe is me lean neith-
er live with her nor without her. -

WEEPING sUPERsTITIONs.

A bride who finds spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams Of fairies the
night before her marriage will be
thrice blessed.
If the bridegroom carries minia-
ture horseshoe in his pocket he will
always have good luck.
No bride or bridegroom should be
given a telegram on the way to church.
1t is positively a sign of evil.
If the wedding ring is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may as

always have i'll luck.
Kiss bride right after the cere-
mony aud before the newly made hus-
band has chance to do so, and you
will have excellent luck throughout
the year.
Should a bride perchance see a
coffin while being driven to the rail-
way station prior to departure upon
her wedding tour she should order
the driver to turn back and start over
again, or. else she will surely meet
with bad luck.

BIG HOTELS FOR CONGRESS.

Uncle Sam is building two apart
ment houses in Washington. They
will be the most magnificent struc-
lures of their kind in this country;
and will cost So, 500, 900 apiece, says
the Philadelphia Rec0,d. Exclusive
ly for use by congressman, they will
be to all intents and purposes detach-
ed wings of the capitol, though sepa-
rated from the latter by several hun
dred feet. One of them will be occu-
pied by senators and the other by rep
resentatives.
The official Congressional fat,'
as they might be called, will be de-
voted wholly to the personal convent
ence and comfort of the legislative
occupants, who will be surrounded
by every imaginable luxury. In ef-
feet, they will be huge hotels, each
of them occupying more ground than
the Waldorf Astoria in New York,
though not so high and the dining
rooms will be on great scale and
very handsome-though guests"
will be at liberty to have their meals
served in their rooms by messengers
on the government pay roll and in
uniform, if they so desire. Also,
there will be magnificent barber
shops and, indeed, the only regular
hotel feature lacking will be bed
rooms, all of the apartments being
intended for daytime use merely-a
fact which, nevertheless, will not bar
occupants from utilizing their quar-
tiers for sleeping purposes if they
wish.
The two buildings, which are to be
of white marble, will be exactly alike
in respect to their exterior, and will
not differ much so far as their inte-
rior is concerned. Flanking the capi-
tol at either end, they will form with
the latter a harmonious architectural
whole, the great dome dominating
the group as the central feature. 1t
would suffice, then, to give descrip-
ton of one, in order to convey sat-
isfactory idea of both-save for one
or two differences, relating particu-
lary to the number of rooms. In
the southern fats, allotted to the
lower house, there will be 40 rooms
one for each representative. On
the other hand, in the northern fats
the same amount of space (compris-
ing the whole of three foors) will be
occupied by SO apartments.
These senatorial apartments will be
very handsomely decorated and fur
nished. A small army of uniformed
messengers will be at hand to furnish
the requisite service, and, with pri-
vate staircases and private elevators
for the exclusive use of the wcarers
of the toga, the whole outfit will be
of the most comfortable, not to say
luxurious, description. Furnished
private apartments in white marble
palace, with rent and all sorts of in
cidents paid for by the government,
are not by any means to be sneezed
at, so to speak.
A pretty fair notion of the magni-
tude of the structures in question is
conveyed by the statement that each
of them occupied an entire block, ard
on its four sides has total frontage
of I, ,747 feet, or about one-third of a
mile.

Welcome the green from CLINE of flowers,

Blest of earth and the realm above.
The land is dreary, cold and chilled,

EGGS FOB INvALIDs.

Here are two excellent methods OF
preparing eggs for invalids, either OF
the ways bringing it to just the pro-
per soft-boiled state:
Put an egg on to cook in sauce
pan of cold water. As soon as it
comes to the boiling point the egg is
done and will be found neither too
watery nor too dry.
The second method is slightly diff
ferent. Let the water come to very
lively boiling point, take it from the
fire and let the egg stand in the hot
water, we'll covered, for exactly i've
minutes. The egg will be cooked to
perfection without making the white
hard and indigestible.
AS A rule, one must either climb OF
d;o for things that are worth having.

THE FOOD WE EAT.

DR.. Harry w. Wiley, Uncle Sam $
food expert, has told the house COM
mittee on agriculture some startling
facts concerning the dangers of cold
storage, oyster shipments, and gela-
tine manufacture. The chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the agricul-
tural department informed the COM
mittee. which has just made public
its hearings on the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. that milk and eggs
are badly affected Immediately upon
being put in storage, that bulk oys-
ters, if not "embalmed," frequently
contain ptomaines, and that gelatine
has been found to carry lockjaw
germs.
DIR. Wiley related the results OBJ
tanned in two cold storage ware
houses which are at his disposal ia
Washington, where he has conduc-
ted experiments with all sorts of
food-stuffs.
milk begins to deteriorate right
away and so does cream" he said.
Eggs also begin to deteriorate i'm
mediately.
Fruit is improved and sometimes
continues to improve for three months.
Meat improves up to about six or
eight weeks. But after three months
for meat you can see that it has
reached the maximum. Then it be-
gins to go down. l do not care how
hard it is frozen"
When asked for further explana-
ton of the deterioration of meat
frozen in cold storage, DR.. Wiley
said:
"We find that meats do not taste
and smell as well Every time the
jury can pick that which has been
kept more than three months.
Take our quail. We have
quail year old and fresh quail
cooked just alike at the same time.
You can distinguish instantly be-
tween them-frst by their looks,
and then by smell and taste. Every
time the jury can pick them out
blindfolded.
DR.. Wiley declared that he is
thorough believer in cold storage.
He is of the opinion that most foods
improve when properly kept for a
short time.
The object of his experiments, he
said, is to inform the public, and par
ticularly cold storage concerns how
long they may safely keep articles
of food. He said that as yet he has
been unable to determine whether
drawn or undrawn poultry keeps
better.
DR.. Wiley was asked many ques-
tions about oysters. He said that
oysters opened and shipped in buck
cts should be prevented from enter
ing interstate commerce, because they
are dead. 4
"An oyster is dead an hour after
it is opened" said DR.. Wiley, "and
is not good. 1t loses its flavor.
In response to inquiries from Re-
preventative Haskins as to the advis-
ability of freezing oysters to preserve
them for shipment, DR.. Wiley said:
They ought not to be frozen.
That ruins them. AS soon as they
thaw they are dangerous"
He urged that oysters be shipped
alive in the shell. DR.. Wiley declar-
ed the greatest outrage of the oyster
trade is to soak oysters with fresh
water and swell them up to make
them look fat.
DR.. Wiley said that oysters in cans
are all right, but concerning bulk oys-
ters shipped in tubs and buckets he
said:
They are either preserved with
some preservative or are dangerously
near the ptomaine line"
