silver" Democrat, died in Columbus,
Ohio, last Saturday. He was the man
who discovered that the coinage OF the
standard silver dollar was dropped by
stealth in the revision of the coinage
laws in 1873. The agitation over that
discovery led to the enactment of the
law which gave us all the silver dollars

TASMANIA.

Nicknames Applied to the One Time
Convict Settlement.
Tasmania is perhaps the most inter-
esting of the states of our common
wealth. remarked the Australian. st
is large triangular island lying to the
south of Melbourne and was once a
convict settlement
''The climate is delightful and the
soil remarkably fertile. The island is
practically one large orchard, where
peaches, apples, cherries, ETC., are
grown in sufficient quantities to keep
the adjoining continent supplied, with
some left over for export to England.
AS fruit trees do not require much
tending, leisure is a notable character
istic of the inhabitants, and Tasmania
is known throughout the antipodes as
the land of lots of time or the land of
sleep lot 1t is also called the jam
country and its natives familiarly
termed jam eaters This is on account
of the presence Of an enormous can
merry in the island. where some of the
orchard products are converted into
jams, jellies and preserved fruits.
But this by no means ends the list
of Tasmanian nicknames. Two Dutch
explorers Tasman and Van Dieman-
had to do with the discovery Of the
island. and, although the name of Tas-
man is now used. it is often referred
to in old school books as Van Dieman's
Land. We find it amusing to twist
the latter name a bit and call the Tas-
manians demons which is shame.
as they are the mildest and best fell
lows in the world. They speak of
themselves as Tastes and that may
be accepted as their unofficial designa-
ton. New York Press.

TWO Weeks Course In Fruit
GROWING.


The State Horticultural Department OF
the Maryland Agricultural College an.
nounces two weeks course in practical
fruit growing, the control of insect pests
and plant diseases and spraying. This
course is offered free and is open 70 all
persons interested in these subjects in the
State. 1t is an opportunity for the grow
.ers to gain an insight into the practical
methods of growing trees, packing and
storing fruit, and the control of the many
pests that are detrimental to successful
fruit growing.
This course is announced to commence
January go. The local inspectors that are
employed by the State Horticultural De-
partment to conduct inspection of

weeks. The course is given at con-
venient time for most persons, and the
cost is simply board. Therefore, growers
of this county should make use of this
opportunity to learn up-to-date methods

Mr. Franklin a ths Rar.

Among the state papers for the year
1886 may be read letter from John
Bartlett to Henry Wills minister,
Thomas Cromwell. stating that in ac-
cordance with the recent act the mayor
and aldermen had chosen Mr.. Pryseley
to attend the English parliament as
the representative of Calais and that
he had made certain arrangements
about his passage into England.
One Thomas Boyd was elected as his
colleague. and Calais continued to send
NJ. Prs to Westminster until. in the
reign Of Mary. we lost the stronghold
we had held for over two centuries.
This is the only instance in England's
history of anything like colonial rep
resentation at Westminster unless in
deed we reckon one or two exceptional
occasions when colonial grievances
have been voiced at the bar Of the
house of commons, as they were so
brilliantly by BENJAMIN Franklin
when Burke said the scene reminded
him Of "a. master examined by par

A 1OO-to-1-Shot Wins.

" ESTERDAY at the Jacksonville track
! the horse Mutterino won the fifth
race at odds of 100 to l. No killing was
made The horse was not played at all.
His win was purely an accident. for Nut
terino is an extremely poor animal. Az
ter several false breaks he managed TO
beat the barrier by ten lengths, and he
just managed to stagger home by a
snout His win caused no excitement
whatever al the track. Everybody, in
fact was keenly disappointed to see
Mutterino win the race. No gleeful col
ored man. when the horse wabbled first
past the wire, placed his derby hat on
the ground and then jumped on it in an
excess of ecstacy, announcing that he
had sold the cook stove and the kitchen
oicloth of his wickieup to get 81 to bet
on Mutterino to win. In the grandStand
there was no pretty hat trimmer, en-
poyed at well known millinery estab-
lishment, who sent a $50 note to the
ring with instructions that 81 of the
amount he bet on Mutterino to win, only
to discover after the race. that her COM
missioner had by mistake bet the entire
so on Mutterino to win at 100 to /, thus
netting her $1,000 Careful inquiry de-
veloped the fact that none OF the book
makers sheet-writerS had dreampt OF
Mutterino on the previous night and
pushed in the 500 that he was saving
for getaway coin on Mutterno at the top
price. thus realizing $4,000.
No motorman of a trolley car, taking a
day off at the track and becoming reck-
lessly stewed, sloughed off his entire
months wages, $50, .on Mutterino, thus
annexing unto himself the little roll of

The Nations Sweet Tooth.

from the Boston Transcript.
The country has grown accustomed to
international apple shows and corn con-
crosses and other explorations Of the
products of the farm and the factory, but
Philadelphia proposes to set the mouths
OF her citizens and the visiting public
watering with a candy exhibition. AS
candy making is one of her leading in
dustries, she is doubtless, warranted in
showing on a large scale what she can
do. She has seventy-six candy manu-
factories under the government system,
the estimated value of the output last
year being 100000.
Fifty years ago the candy of the coun
try was almost invariably hard and
coarse, and much of it unwholesome. Now
the making of it has become a fine art,
and the wizard of concoction and flavor
ing has fortune at his command Pure
candy in moderate quantities is no longer
regarded as menace to the healthy
stomach. 1t has been sent to American
soldiers at Manila and to British sol
diers in the Transvaal, while we have a
recent unconfirmed tradition that the lure
of the gumdrop will enlist an Eskimo in
almost any service. AS candy takes its
place among the articles that go to make
up high living we may assume that Its
consumption, even per capita, is steadily
on the increase. TO know just how much
OF it we are eating at the present time
we must await the neE census figures.
Not since 1908 have we had official infor-
nation to guide us, and subsequent de-
velopments must be largely guesswork.

Old Actors and New.

Those whose memories go back forty or
even thirty years recall great individual

veteran to understand, though l cannot
share, this feeling. The tragedians and
comedians of our youth gave US pleas
ures which we cannot now recapture,
partly because their schools, their method,
has died out. partly because we are now
more critical and less accessible to the
mere hystera of emotional acting. One
may quite believe in the greatness Of
Edwin Forrest, yet doubt whether he
would be found endurable by the public
of today. John Mccullough certainly
would not, any more than the G. v.
