EULOGIzES FLORIDA.
Has a Treasure in Her Soil and
Climate.


A representative of the New
York Packer travelling in this state
contributed an article to that
paper not many weeks ago, and we
reproduce the following extracts
from it:
To the student Of American
history, as well as to the traveller
or pleasure-seeker, Florida offers
an inviting field.
The tourist finds here freedom
from the fierce winter of the north
and the possibility Of an out-of-
door life from Christmas-tide to
Easter Day.
Florida, both on account of its
geographical position and its
semi-tropical fora and fauna, is q
realm overlooking with induce.
ments to the traveller of limited
income, and to the many who have
the opportunity to ENJOY only a
short vacation from their custom
airy vocation.
The great peninsula, stretching
southwark over four hundred
miles between the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf OF Mexico, is some
times called an American Italy.
1t lacks the charm of history and
classic lore of Italy, but it is not
without its own romance and his
torical lights and shadows, which
lend fascination to it's rivers, its
immense extent of sea coast, its
hundreds of attractive lakes, it's
mineral and medicinal springs, its
mighty forests Of long leaf yellow
pine and its outs read groves of
oranges and grapefruit.
. . % o W
The health statistics of Florida
demonstrate that this state is one
of the healthiest in the Union.
y o Sunstroke is almost
unknown, and the average temper
ature of summer is not much
higher than in New York or Boss
ton Summer in Florida is mo re
enjoyable than the sudden leaps
and drops of the northern wealth.
er. The ocean and the gulf send
their wholesome and welcome
breezes over the whole peninsnl.
every day in the year, carrying
mildness and health everywhere.
AS to insects, like mosquitoes and
flies, they are no worse 10 Florida
than in many parts of the north,
and there is an abundance Of re-
freshing and pure water.
Whether one looks at Florida as
land in which to build home,
as resort to regain health or as q
country of romantic interest, it is
a part of the republic worthy of
serious attentions .
The concluding remarks with
some minor changes or revisions
are wholly applicable to this re-.
gion of Florida, for to feast on
the fruits, to sail upon the quiet
lakes, to listen to birds, to enjoy
the fragrance of flowers, to hear
the wind softly murmur in the
lofty tops of it's giant pines, TO
feel The freedom AID the Joy Of
Southern life, and to see one If the
gorgeous and never to be forgot.
ten Punta Gorda sunsets, and, fin
ally, to witness the rplendor of
tn. night skies when the stars
keep watch over mans peaceful
slumbers-these are experiences
that lift one out Of the dull mon
olony of drudgery and the bard
SO ,ilude Of anxiety into an at
mos here Of pure and spontaneous
Satisfaction.

SOUR THOUGHTS.

ne We're flirting with her.
A wife calls il not being faithful TO her
when her husband thinks another woln-
ans hair curls naturally.
A man can sit up all hours Of night
with a girl and never get bored until
after they are married.
Nobody should blame q poor girl for
not screaming at being kissed when her
mouth is all stopped up that way

Sofa Cushions.

Newest sofa cushions are made of two
materials-for instance, bUrIap and den
i'm. IN such a case denim would be
the cover itself, while a design, usually
conventional may be cut from the mid
die and filed in with burlap. which IS
basted into place on the under side.
The edges Of the denim are then but
tonholed TO the burlap. which not only
prevents the latter from slipping. but
also keeps the edges Of the denim from
turning back.
Sometimes. instead Of cutting the de-
sign from the cover itself, the design
may be cut out Of the other material
and appIiqued TO the cushion cover. Such
q cover might be Of unbleached linen.
while a design. say Of water lilies, might
be cut from denim and appliqued 10 the
edge OF the square Of the linen. As
the latter is the smoother material. IT
would be comfortable next the face when
the pillow is in use.

material some talent is required; but If.
instead Of denim OF linen. cret0nne were
used, the work would be simplicity it.

a foundation OF dark green denim, while
huge pink cretonne roses form a border

be done IN green or pink floss

Serving Watermelon.

Many hostesses refuse TO use water
melon on any except informal family &C.
casions. They say it is too sloppy and
hard 20 serve
Certainly the old way Of serving was
not dainty The whole watermelon was
brought to the table on a large waiter
and was cut with the carving knife into
hunks OF segments-
Nowadays the rind does not make an
appearance The heart Of the melon is
cut into regular shaped pieces about five
inches square and two and one-haIf inches
thick These are heaped IN a low cut
glass OF colonial glass dish. have bits or
Ice scattered over the top, and sprigs Of
geranium leaves or any bright-green foil
age tucked in the edges
A salad fork or an asparagus fork is
passed with it for serving.
This method Of preparing watermelon
IS not only attractive TO the eye, but
makes the melon much more convenient
10 eat

POINT OF VIEW,

intermediate ones are seIf-coufessed drug

REAL LOVE.

Electric Light.

T. Cannot Be Switched on Like the
Electric Light.
We are always interested in love Any
one who has information TO impart is
sure Of a hearing
An Italian writer now says that real
love only comes by intimate acGUaint-
ance and thorough understanding. and
that love at first sight is only made 10
order for ictional purposes In few nov
els and stories is love allowed to de-
velop in q natural way. In real life how
rarely does the love which is described
as "at first sight endure TO the end
It is strange TO have this opinion from
such a source. because Southern temper
ar-1ents are more quickly inhamed than
those Of other nations; but as far as
one can gather from observation and
study OF Northern folk, literature, aud
drama. when love once dawns It takes
no longer TO develop in an arctic than
IN a sultry cline But the point is that
an love which is of sterling quality does
require a certain amount Of fostering.
It cannot be switched on like the cleo
