UNIVERSITY NOTES

A unique plan has been decided
upon as one method of raising mon
ey towards the new gymnasium. The
two groups of college societies., the
Thalians and D%aedalians, with the
Philomathians and Kappas, will each
endeavor to secure the largest pos
sible number of pledges to the build
ing fund, and the n securing the
most will have first choice of society
halls in the new building. 1t is the
intention to have the society halls as
we'll as the Y. M. c. A. rooms in the
gymnasium, and they will undoubt-
eddy be considerably better than the
that purpose. The societies have
taken hold of the matter in earnest,
and when the contest closes at the
end of the school year in June, the
fund will probably be much larger
as Il result of their efforts.

(By Special Request.)
This is a dainty dessert, as deli
as it is uncommon; and, al
though a little more trouble to make
than many other puddings, the fin
ished result more than repays for it
in absolute satisfaction.
How to Make IT..
Put two heaping tablespoons of
corn starch into a quart bowl, and
pour over it half a cup of cold water.
Rub all the Jumps to a smooth paste,
Then pour on one and a half pints
of fiercely boiling water, Stir until
thoroughly dissolved and let 1t stand
a while to cool.

pint size) over a slow fire to grad
lemons into a graniteware saucepan
ually come to a boiling point. Stir
steadily all the while it is cooking,
or it will scorch and be utterly unfit
to eat. Cook until it begins to thick
en-, and when quite stiff take from
the fire and pour into the cooled corn
starch, beating hard all the time,
until all the ingredients are we'll in
corporated. Butter the inside of a
deep earthen pudding dish and pour
the mixture into it. Then place in a
brisk oven and bake for fifteen min
utes. A firm skin will form all over
the top, which is necessary to sup
port the meringue. While it is bak-
ing turn the whites of five eggs into
a quart bowl and beat them one min
ute with an egg beater. Then add
one tablespoon of granulated sugar
and beat a little longer. Continue
this until you have used up five table
spoons of sugar.
Add two drops of extract Of lemon,
beat we'll in, and your meringue is
ready to use. 1t should nearly fill
the bowl you make it in and be light
and fine grained.
Work as quickly as possible, so
that the pudding will not have to
wait a moment longer than the if
teen minutes required to film over
the top. Draw to the front of the
oven and throw the meringue over
the top of the pudding in tablespoon
fulls. Pile it roughly (but make 1t
even along the edges.) then put back
into the oven to d%elicately brown
over, when it is finished. Let it get
thoroughly cold before serving.
If you have a gas over place the
pudding under the blaze for one
moment only, as that will suffice to
color the meringue nicely. But II
you have a range with coal fire you
will have to twist a newspaper and
lay it on the Goals. The Sudden blaze
will do the work quite as we'll. T.
Bear in mind that the meringue
does not need cooking, only coloring,
and if in the oven longer than nj
moment it will become tough and
heavy, and all your labor be in vain.

A REMINDER AND A REVELATION

Uncle Joe" ShufOrd, more than
any Jther ma n Florida, is busily en-
gagged in showing not what can be
done in Florida" but what is being
done. Mr. ShufOrd has a little patch
of ground between his place and the
A. c. L. railway, and every month in
the year, every week in the month,
and nearly every day in the week, he
he has something new and fresh
growing upon it. 1t is just a lesson
and a pastime, but is an ocular dem
OnstratiOn of the possibilities and act
ualities of the state, all the same.
His catalOg embraces everything from
leek, onions. kale and garlic, the veg
etables of biblical times, to caulifow-
er, tomatoes, lettuce, and the latest
Burbank squash and cactus. His cat
alog does not begin nor end with veg
etables, but include every variety of
fruits and flowers, from the pOme-
granite to the guava, and the lily to
the chrysanthemum. His little patch
of ground is indeed a revelation.

We had a very pleasant visit Friday
morning from Mr.. l.. S. Brooks of
Maynard, Mass, who owns a very
fine orange grove at Citra, and who
spends his winters there. Mr.. Brooks
said that after the great freeze he
tried to resuscitate his big grove, but
found that battling against the white
fly was even a harder task than TAX
ing chances with the mercury. But,
he says, in recent years the brown
fungus has almost completely annihi
lated the white fly, and the orange
growers around Citra and indeed all
over the state of Florida feel very
much encouraged and are going to
work with new zeal in planting or
ange trees and bringing them to ma
turity. Mr.. Brooks said that there are
a great number of very promising
groves in the Citra neighborhoOd, and
it bids fair to again become the cen
ter of this industry. and that many
thousands of boxes will be marketed
the coming season. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brooks are the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. league, and returned to Citra
Saturday.

Mr.. T. H Johnson had an expert

stretched some distance in the air.
This caught his nose and tore il up
considerably, causing a most painful
wound. He is busy explaining to his
friends how he came by his pet

FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGIsLA
TURE

DR.. William Griffith of Dunnellon
has announced his candidacy for mem.
Der OF the legislature from this coun-
ty, and his friends easily predict his
election.
DR.. Griffith came 10 Florida from
Alabama, and has been citizen
among us for fourteen years-long
enough to become identified with all
our interests, hopes, aspirations and
ambitions. This is as long as Jacob
served Laban for Rachel, ard the doc
tors love OF his adopted state and
county, and his loyalty to his party.
which he has always served, is as
true, and staunch. and devoted as was
exhibited by this worthy patriarch.
whose service we have mentioned.
and whose name has become in all
ages and in all lands a synonym for
loyalty and devotion.
DR.. Griffith is a splendid type of
man, is now in the full fruitiOn of his
powers and if elected will make an
efficient and influential member of our
legislative assembly, and we believe
the people of the county will have
cause to be proud Of his stewardship

DEATH OF HON. A. p. sAsKIN

The friends and acquaintances of
Hon. A. P. Baskin in this county and
throughout the state will regret to
learn of his death, which occurred a.
the home of his son, DR.. J. G. Baskin,
at DunnellOn, on Sunday, March %
He died from cancer OF the stomach.
The remains were taken to Anthony,
where he spent the greater portion of
his active life, and were laid to rest
beside his loved ones.
The deceased was a man of strong
personality and convictions and i'm
pressed mis- views with such cIearness
and force upon his fellows that b.
was al once recognized as a leader of
men. He was nominated on the leg
islative ticket, and he and his col
league. the late Lion Francis d. Poo
ser were the first democrats to rep
resent this county in that body after
thA reconstruction period.
llr. Raskin took great interest in
the Alliance movement, and was soon
recognized as one of it's most con-
spicuOus members. and headed the
movement in this county, and under
his direction il became a most form
liable political party. He soon i'm
pressed his strong personality upon
the organization throughout the state
and received and accepted the nOmi-
nation for governor at its hands, and
measured strength with Governor
Mitchell in 1892
The Alliance movement grew so
formidable in this state that it is
very generally believed that it could
have easily controlled the democratic
organization if it's leaders had follow
ed the advice of Tillman and remain
cd within the democratic party in
stead of dropping off from il and
forming a separate organization. If
such had been the case the politics
c. Florida would have had to be re-
written, and Mr.. Baskin would no
doubt had career in Florida not un-
like Senator Tiliman's in South Car
DINA. He had many of the same rug
ged characteristics.
Mr. Baskin was born in the town of
Perry, Houston county, Georgia, six
ty-four years ago, and belonged to a
large and prominent family of that
county. He enlisted in the war at
the first call to arms and was a faith
fIl and jealous soldier He came
70 Florida not many years after the
reconstruction era and settled at An
thOny. He planted an orange grove
and brought it TO maturity, but it was
wiped out by the great freeze. He
was also q successful trucker and
was among the first to successfully
engage in lettuce planting. Besides
being 4 tr1cl,er and orange grower,
he was a good all-round farmer.
A few years before his death he
purchased a controlling interest in a
large and profitable grove near Lar
so. in HillsborOugh county, and was
just il a position TO take life easy
when he was attacked with cancer
Of the stomach
When told that his condition was
hopeless he showed the same forti-
tude and courage that had marked his
career throughout life, and when the
summons came he illustrated the
martyrdom of Bryant's Thanatopsis:
Wrapped the draperies of his
couch about him as one who lays
down to pleasant dreams"
