Petunias-and Wild Flowers.

Editor Florial Department:
Where are we all, what has become
OF all the correspondence! l am ONE
OF the deserters too, know, but NOW
| make another start.
l want to say a good word for the
little petunia During the douth my
little daughter had IA bed of the COM
mon mixed seed, and they "bloOmed
and bloomed," as She expressed bit.
They are so bright and pretty, some
are striped, others blotched, standing
up so bravely Through the dro1th.
They do not seem particular as to
soil, but of course, are prettler when
the soil is rich, but here are IN boxes
and beds, and have all sorts of soil,
as l let her attend ITO it entirely her
self.
Has any one ever tried the Poppy
here in the South? If SO, [ wish they
would write it up. [ am going Ito
make all attempt this year; have been
told I will make a failure, las the Pop
py does not do well in Florida. Now
that is 'stinlulant. just makes me
determined Ito make success OF grow
ing the Poppy. A friend up North
has sent me seed of a dark crimson
variety, and | will report latter Sue
cess or failure.
A walk in the pine woods is delight
full; inhahng the odor of the pines,
and listening Ito the many happy little
songsters filling the air with their
sweet voices; and gathering pretty
little wild flowers. The wild flowers
always have charm for me. Near
me is quite a pretty assortment in
the way of wild bouquet There are
several varieties of the yellow daisy.
The large grant, with dark orange
oolored petals and dark brown vel
vet centers, the smaller and coarser
kind, then the dear little dainty yellow
and brown that resembles the cosmos,
only smaller. A beautiful pink, fine
petals, with yellow and white centers.
We have manned lit the wild cla|rkia,
as 1T resembles the 'Clarkia. Two va
rieties OF the Euphorbia, "a dark CRIMSON
and pure white; they are beauties.
A little pale pink blossom, looking
like digaHalls in shape, several grow
ing ON tall STEM The dainty wlite
fairy lilly, like the cultivated gephe
ranthus, ahld just as think, kind of
grass with white star bloom. This
Sounds rather MIXED a. d common no
doubt, but could you see the dear
wildlings you would say with me they
are lovely.

Over Planting.

The mistake mentioned by the Cali
iornia Cultivator in the following item
is very common one. If you are
setting trees or large shrubs, take
warning.
A mistake which many make when
ee-planting to beautify the home is
undertaken is to forget the effect which
time and growth have upon the speci-
mems set out around the dwelling.
This condition is often seen and is
a cause for regret when it is mott
easy to repair the blunder The inr1o-
cent-looking evergreen shrubs which
are set out to adorn the door-yard
between the dwelling and public high
way, are NOT suspected of lta ring the
inherent quality of development into

Acacias.

In the last catalogue which he made
up, before his death, P. W. Reasoner
listed 1854 varieties of Acacias, and
said that amy of them could be grown
in Florida. The last catalogue of the
firm. Reasoner Bros, only lists 2
species. We do not know why THEY
have discarded SO many. They are
qllite extensively grown in California,
and we copy an article about them
from the California Ct11tivator By
the way, ONE species Of Acacia is
quite common in some parts of Flor
ida; it is known, locally, as Poponac,
the true name being Acacia farnesiana.

A COUNTRY VISITOR.
The New York Man Felt Above Him,
but Changed His Opinion.

The New York Man Felt Above Him,
but Changed His Opinion.
One of the most successful wholesale
dry goods merchants New York city
ever saw had the peculiar habit of re-
garding as his inferior any man who
was engaged In a business less gen.
teel, as he held, than his own. In his
employ was young vermonter, who
felt highly elated when one day a man
from his native town who was visiting
the city called on him. The man was
somewhat crude In his manners, but
he had piled up fortune In the tin
ware business and IN buying up at a
discount in times of panic commercial
paper which he believed was good.
The youth introduced the vermonter
to his employer.
"What business are you int" asked
the dry goods prince as the two shook
hands.
"The tinw-a-a-r business" drawled
the vermonter.
without a word the dry goods mer-
chant turned on his heel ana bolted
into his private office. He didn't rec
ognize tinware merchants as desirable
acquaintances.
"Hold on minute, Mr.. II" shouted
the Vermonter after the retreating fig
ure. "Are these here things goin' to
be paid when they fall due9'
From his wallet the vermonter drew
several slips Of paper, which he held
up to the dry goods merchants face.
The merchant glanced at them and eff
fusively bade the Vermonter welcome
to his private office. The papers were
notes to the extent Of $4,000 uttered
by the dry goods merchant and which,
unknown to him, the Vermonter had
bought up at a big discount.-Brooklyp

ELBERT HUBBARD ON EDUCATION F."

l wonder is there is more prepos-
ferrous admonition than that which
has been dinned into the ears of in
nocence for centuries, Children
should be seen and not heard?" The
healthy, active child is full of impress
-sions, and that he should express
himself is just as natural as for a
bird to sing. 1t is natures way of
giving growth-no one knows a thing
for sure until he tells 1t to some one
else. We, deepen our impressions by
recounting them, and habitually to
suppress and repress the child when
he wants to tell of the curious things
he has seen is to display slight acu-
men.
Last summer, while on horseback
ride of hundred miles or so, came
to an out-of-the-way "Deestrick
school," one of the numberless such
that our country boasts. This partic-
ular schoolhouse would not have at
,tracted my attention especially had
/ not noticed that nearly half the
school lot was taken up with a garden
and It was apparent that this was the
work of the teacher and the scholars.
Straightway l dismounted, tied my
horse, and walked into the school
house.
The teacher was man of mid
die age-a hunchback, and one of
the rarest, gentlest spirits l ever met.
(Have you ever noticed what an alert,
receptive and beautiful soul is often
housed in a misshapen body?) This
man was as modest and as shy as a
women. and when ! spoke of the
floker beds n half apOlogized for
them and tried to change the subject.
But when he realized that my inter
est in his garden was something deep
er than mere curiosity, he offered to
go aut with he and show me what
had been done. So we walked out,
and out, too, behind us trooped the
whole school of just Is scholars.
"In the winter we have 60 or more
. pupils" said the master. but you see
the school is small now. ! / thought

Just working and talking
And that is the way this man
taught-letting the children do things

contradicted him my eyes filled with
tears. Not educated? wonder how

notes when we hear them? Can we
with pencil so outline the leaves OF

Head Manglcd by a Saw.

August Bauer, who operates a
small water power sawmill on Mill
creek, met with what may yet prove
a fatal accident late Wednesday af-
ternoon.
He was alone in the mill and
stopped under the cutoff saw tables
to oil belt when the top of his head
came in contact with the bottom of
the saw, cutting a cash nearly seven
inches long on his head and so deep
that the saw penetrated the brain.
Notwithstanding the horrible in
jury Mr.. Bauer managed to reach the
door, where he was found a half
hour later by Gus Galdo, who works
at HINES mill
DR.. F. E. Brown was hastily sum-
moned but. when he arrived the in
jured man, although conscious, was
almost dead from loss of blood.
AT present Mr.. Baurer has a slim
chance for life, but his condition is
extremely critical.-Council Advance.

Woman's Work.

A Columbus woman has submitted
a voting machine for formal approval
of the state commission, and it is said
that the machine will do more and
better work than any other machines
brought to the commissions attention.
Women get a vote only at school
elections in this state, but 1t appears
that this fact did not destroy interest
in voting and the possibilities of vot-
ing machine, upon which the Column

of toll and study. he dying six years

"I wonder what It is to be educat-
ed. Here was a man seemingly sore
smitten by the hand of fate, and
whose heart was yet filled with SYM
pathy and love. He had no quarrel
with either the world or destiny. He
was childless that he might love all
children, and that his heart might
belong to, every living thing. The
trustees df the school did not take
much interast in the curriculum,
found, so they let the teacher have
his way: and l have since been told
that the best schools are those in
which the trustees or directors take
no interest.
collection of birds eggs, fungi,
and forest leaves had been made,
and 1 was shown outline drawings of
all the leaves in the garden. This
drawing a picture of the object led
to- a much closer observation. the
teacher thought, and when / learned
that the whole school took a semi
weekly ramble through the woods,
and made close studies of the wild
birds, as well as insects, it came to
me that this man, afar from any "in-
tellectual center" was working out a
pedagogic system that science could
never improve upon. Whether the
little man realized this or not / can
not say. but / do not think that he
guessed the greatness of his work and
methods. 1t was all so simple. He
did the thing he liked to do and let
the children out. and they followed
because they loved the man and the
things he loved.
Science seeks to simplify. This
country school teacher, doing his own
little work in his own little way, wa.
a true scientist. In the presence of
such a man should we not uncover?
