CITY TO PLANT FRUIT TREES.

Tropical Orchards in Yards and Gar
dens for Jacksonville, Fla.
That Jacksonville will be metamor
phosed into a city beautiful next win,
ter seems assured. The initiative taken
by the Board of Trade in a movement
to plant tropical fruit trees in the gar
denS and yards of residences in that
city has struck a popular chord, having
met with popular approval of property
owners. Those who have tried to adopt
the plan will endeavor to persuade
their neighbors to fall in line.
Growing tropical plants in Jackson
vile seems to many people. no doubt,
says. However impracticable it may
appear, the plan will be carried out to
a successful realization. Some years
ago large and handsome orange trees
were even thriving in the streets Of the
city and scattered about the country
were numerous bearing groves. These
were greatly admired by the Northern
tourists, who, although comparatively
small in number in those days, visited
the State annually and spent much Of
the winter here Along came the freeze
of 1895 and wiped out of existence
within one night practically every
orange tree then growing in or near the
city. The cold wave not only wrought
havoc here, but entered the very heart
of the State, nipping and damaging
tender vegetation. Since the freeze no
effort to restore tropical fruit trees
here has been made, it being contended
by many that the tender plants could
not withstand the occasional cold and
that any effort put forth in the direc
ton would prove useless expense.
Now comes the discovery of the tri
foliata stock, which remains dormant
during the entire winter months and is
of sufficient toughness to withstand
cold of a much greater temperature
than that which is usually blown Flor
idaward Onto this hard. tough stock
can be budded orange, grapefruit, tan
gerine and other citrus fruit. If plant
ed out during the month of March the
tree would blossom the coming spring
and bear fruit the following winter.

of a few energetic physical culturists,

who were unable to maintain pleasure
vehicles saw the country through car
windows or not at all.
Last summer, however, numbers Of
persons previously stationary realized
that they were possessed Of legs and
that these legs were capable Of locomo-
ton. Whereupon there was a decided
stir and more dust was kicked up by
foot power than ever had been seen on
country roads. And, strange to say,
many Of these converts to pedestrian

Englishwomen long since learned the
lesson of walking for profit as we'll as
pleasure And their robust health and
clear compilations always have been the
despair of their inactive American sis
tiers. The distance an Englishwoman
will walk on her daily CONSTITUTIONAL
il amazing to femininity in other lands.
She thinks nothing Of a six or eight
mile tramp. and on occasion can do fiji
teen or twenty without turning a
hair" And no condition Of weather
stops her-wet or dry, snow or blow,
rain or shine, she goes daily.
The reason for the Englishwoman's
fondness for icy baths lies in her supe-
rior vitality, perfect circulation and
strong heart action, due to walking.
The most beneficial exercise is that
taken under enjoyable conditions.

routine, frequently become distasteful
drudgery and as such does little good.
Walking, intelligently practiced, is al
ways enjoyable. Constant change Of
scene and the buoyancy communicated
by light air and the fresh smells Of the
open country give a sugar coating to
the medicine.
But there is secret or two in walk
ing-not in the how, but in the where
and the distance. Walking, like other
physical exercise, is harmful, rather
than beneficial, If overdone. A wise
walker will reach home pleasantly, not
painfully, fatigued The beginner at
walking for recreation should attempt
no record-breaking tramps but should
accustom herself gradually to the exer-
else. And to enjoy it one must walk to
somewhere, not tramp idly about with
no objective point. There may be some
pleasure in walking merely for walk
ing's sake but the real relish lies in
carrying out planned excursion to
some spot Of interest. Under such con-
ditions the attention Is fixed ahead and
not under ones feet.

Since america is composed Of halt
the races of the earth, Americans, TAX
en- altogether, are amazing polyglots.
But those of us who were born to the
English language and no other are said
to be woefully deficient in knowledge
Of foreign tongues. Such an assertion
is hard to verify. Americans are liv
ing all over the world we are great
travellers. and we are an alert, acquisi
tive people. If it is true that at scien-
tif1c and political congresses foreign
ers understand our delegates better
than our delegates understand them,
then it may be argued that our men
in various intellectual pursuits have
not been trained as they should be in
German and French, which are almost
indispensable to one who pretends to
keep up with the best thought of the
world. Moreover, If, as a professor of
many years experience in examining
candidates for admission to a large
college has recently written, boys who
have studied "advanced' French and
German cannot read easy prose in
those languages at sight, then no doubt
our school methods are not so good as
they should be. It is doubtful, how
ever, if a language can be learned
well, even in a good school, along with
the other necessary subjects. Language
is learned by use. The scientific man
with mind enough to be valuable in
his subject can get for himself any
language that he needs. Moreover, all
other nations are inviting us to neglect
their tongues by their universal will
ingness to learn English. Perhaps we
need all our energies to master our
language ourselves. Francois Coppee,
when asked if he knew English, re-
piled, mo, 1 am still busy studying
French" The true charge against us
as a nation is that we do not devote
enough time and zeal to the magnifi-
cent instrument we have inherited.

Along with the discovery Of walking
as a recreation came a partial appre-
citation Of its benefits. With the enjoy
ment Of the visits to the fields and
woods came a realization that there

Walking in the open air is the best
known cure for ailing women, and the
only effective medicine that may be self
administered without professional ad-
vice. If all women walked for pleasure
as much as they should (and no more)
there would be no cases Of nerves"
chronic listlessness, unsightly obesity
nor embarrassing "scra gginess." For
an irregular heart, weak lungs or

Short Suggestions.

1t is better to cook too slowly tha1
too fast.
Vinegar diluted with water will rel
move grease from a stove.
Marble should be washed with ann
monia and water rather than with soap
and water.
A great many blemshes on WaIs
paper may be removed with Enbbe:
on lead pencil.
The bureau drawer can be made to
open easily and noiselessly by rubbing
it with common soap.
Dried lemon peel sprinkled over
Goals will destroy any disagreeable
odor about the house.
Combs soon warp and break II
washed with water. A good stiff nall
brush cleans them well.
A weak solution Of turpentine poured
down the water pipes once week will
drive the water bugs away.
To cool an oven while baking never
leave the door open, but cool 1T by the
drafts or removing one Of the plates
over the oven.
Half a lemon dipped in salt is ex-
cellent for cleaning copper articles.
Oxalic acid, too, is equally successful
both for copper and brass.
Remove grease stains by saturatlng
The spots with alcohol rather than ben
zine Alcohol does not leave ring
around the spot afterward. Wash with
cold water.
