oppo.ed to Prohibition.

The saloon men and antt-pronipiuon- lsts are much exercised over the intro- ductfon in the Florida Legislature of two prohibition bills. one in the Sen ate by Hon. John s. Beard of this city and another in the house.
 The bill of MT. Beard declares for Statewide prohibition. irrespective of the fact that to declare such 1t Is nec- essary to vote on constitutionai amendment, while the second in the House calls for a vote on an amend ment to the constitution. The latter will probably be the one to pass. 1T any does, and the voters of the entire State win be given an opportunity of declaring whether or not they desire iiquors sold in the State.
 This election will be two years from the adjournment of the Legislature, and the anti-prohibitionists have this much comfort anyhow, as they Know if they fail to defeat the prohibition ists in the Legislature and again by a vote of the people, that they have two years to live.
 Should the bill introduced by Sena- tor Beard pass, there is hardly any doubt that 1t would be promptly ve- toed by Governor Gilchrist. who Is pronounced local option advocate.
 To pass the House bill introduced, 1t is necessary to obtain a three-fifths vote of both the House and Senate. The prospects of the prohibitionists are, therefore, not very bright.
 Cargo of Alabama Coal.
 When the Mexican steamer Sinalao sailed from Pensacola this morning she carried the largest cargo of Alabama coal to Vera Cruz, Mexico, to be taken out of this port since the Louisville and Nashville discontinued it's two steamers running between Tampico and Pensacola, many years ago.
 The cargo of the Sinalao is for the Mexican Government which is now in the market for Alabama coal, and pro- poses to get it at the cheapest rate possible.
 The steamer carried 2.350 tons of fuel, and 1t is announced that many other cargoes are to follow.

Peculiarly Of Magnetlzed Needle
When Placed In Water.

II a thoroughly dry and clean sew
ing needle Is very carefully laid on
the surface Of the water In basin
the needle will float in spite Of the
high density Of steel-seven Or eight
times that of water.
On close inspection It Is found that
the surface Of the water is depressed
under the needle, very much as II
there were a thin film stretched over
the water, and slightly indented by the
weight of the needle. This property
Of liquids, Of offering certain assist
ance to a force exerted upon their sur
face, Is termed Surface extension"
The magnitude Of the force Of surface
tension varies from one liquid to an
other. 1t Ia greatest in the case OF
mercury. The cause Of the phenome-
non must probably be looked for In
the attraction Of the liquid molecules
to one another A sewing needle, thus
floating upon water, may be used as a
compass, II 1t has previously been
magnetized. II will then point north
and south, and will maintain this DO
sition II the containing vessel is
moved about; II the needle is dis
placed by force 1t will return to its
position along the magnetic meridian
as soon as the restraint is removed.

Chess and Checks.

Chess was originally the game of
kings, the game Of shahs. The word
shah" became In old French "eschac,"
while the old French "eschecs" was
further corrupted into chess" The
more original form chez has likewise
been preserved, though we little think
of 1t when we draw a cheque, or
when we suffer check, or when we
speak of the chancellor of the ex-
chequer. The great object of the chess
player Is to protect the king, and
when the king is in danger the op-
ponent is obliged to say CHECK" l. e.,
shah, the king. After this the various
meanings of check, cheque, or ex-
chequer become easily ineligible. Elk
chequer, or scaccarium, the name OF
the chess board, was afterward used
for the checkered cloth on which &C
counts were calculated by means OF
counters.

CURRENCY OF FURs AND SKINS.
Primitive Mode Of Exchange That Pre-
vailed In Early Days.

In the early days of the United
States furs and skins were very gen.
orally transferred from hand to hand
as money Thus, In the northern
states, pound Of beaver was regard
ed as the unit Of value, and in the
south the same weight of deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained currency val
ue until quite recent date. But, aft
er all, as bale Of skins was rather a
bulky roll Of money to carry about, 1t
was customary to cut of small strips
as tokens Of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places Of
security. Proof Of rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which 1t had
been detached. Trickery In substitute
ing another SKIN was not SO easy as
might be imagined, because 1t seldom
happened that two skins would prove
SO exactly similar in shade and length
of fur where the strip was cut off as
to deceive even the eye of a novice.
