The Wonderful Toad Bone.

All early writer's attribute wonderful
qualities to toads and frogs and the
various parts of their bodies. Pliny
believed, for instance, that If toad
was brought into the midst Of mob
or other large and unrllly concourse of
people SILENCE would instantly pre-
vail" A small bone found in the right
side Of toads "of the proper age" was
also believed to have powers over the
various elements. by throwing this
bone into a vessel of boiling water"
says Pliny, at will Immediately cool
It, the water refusing to boil again I'M
til the bone has been removed To
find this bone expose the dead toad
on an ant hill. When the ants have
eaten her all away except the bones,
take each bone separately and drop it
into boiling water Thus may the
wondrous toad bone be discovered"

A KINGS DOWNFALL.
Louis PhiIippe's Lack of Nerve When

Louis PhiIippe's Lack of Nerve When
the Crisis Came.
Baroness Bonde wrote in her diary
the following account of the abdica-
ton of Louis Philippe of France on the
day of that remarkable occurrence:
IAN aid-de-camp of the minister of
war who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated gave me detailed
account of this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the
troops In the carrousel on horseback.
highly rouged, when a cry was raised
'Voici les Faubourgs! No one had
any orders; no one gave any. The mob
rushed forward, shouting, 'Vive la
garde ationales-vivent les troupes"
and shook hands with the outposts
The king retreated precipitately with
his sons, and a sublieutenant Of the
national guard rushed into the palace
asking to see him. He was admitted
and in the greatest agitation said,
Your majesty must abdicate.' Very

were congregated round the royal per-
son Piscatory alone said: Go down

A STORY OF FORREST.
The Actors Encounter With an Inn
pertinent Critic.

pertinent Critic.
Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, when in New York,
was in the habit Of dining at Win
dust's, a noted restaurant on Park
row that was a favorite resort of ac-
tors and literary men. 1t usually hap
pened that Forrest would be joined by
friends and that the little group would
sit together at one table. On one Occa-
sion it CHANGED that an Euglishman
with a reputation for conceit and i'm
pertinence, who had scraped acquaint-
I ance with the tragedian. was one of
the group.
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about
Forests conception Of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation,
he gave full play to his humor and
concluded each Of his imperunences
with Pardon my freedom. sir-it's my
way"
To the establishment of all who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patient
ly and seemingly ignored them as far
as possible. When, however, the nuts
were brought in by the waiter he
took several cracked walnuts in his
hand and, walking over to the Rritons
place, jocularly snapped them sue
cessively in the face of that individual,
lightly saying after each shot, Par
don my freedom, sir-it's my way"
and snapped him out of the restau-
rant.

Funny how little appropriation OF
$780, for a government building and
site will affect the public mind. Last
week several citizens of Palatka were all
but "cussin'" Congressman Frank Clark
because he neglected his congressional
duties to advocate the nomination OF
Senator Taliaferro The men who
showed their teeth were Broward men.
Had Clark been with them in the late
campaign it is doubtful if they would
have said anything; but the other fellows
would. Sunday last word came that the
omnibus building bill, which had been
reported favorably by the House CON-
mite on appropriations, carried with il
$50, 600 for Palatka. OF course this is a
Frank Clark measure, 1t shows al least
that Mr.. Clark hasn't neglected Palatka.
And the men who were last week de-
nouncing him vigorously have this week
taken a reef in their condemnation.
Clark stock, always above par in Palatka,
has now gone up few points.

prohibition cannot be enforced. "
This is the cry of the distiller, the
brewer, the wholesale dealer, and the
saloon keeper, The statement finds an
echo among the unthinking. Who are
the law breakers? Why these Self-same
manufacturers and dealers. In effect
they say, 1--WE will not obey the law. "
They are anarchists. Here is an exam
pie: The sale OF near beer" contain
ing one per cent. alcohol, is permitted
in the dry counties of Florida. Do these
brewers obey this law2 Well, hardly.
Mayor MatheSon and Marshal Dell Of
gainesville recently purchased bottle
Of near beer" in that city, which they
.ook TO a chemist for analysis. 1t
showed ~ per cent. alcohol. The
booze dealers do not intend TO obey any
Jaw that interfereS with their business.
1t is this attitude that is making prohi-
JtionStS of the white people in Florida.

George Fields, negro who was to
have been executed for murder in Palm
Beach county last Friday, and who
was incarcerated in the Jail at Fl. Pierce,
walked out of that institution two or
three hours before the time set for his
suspension, and has not been caught.
His escape followed close upon the re-
tircment of his spiritual advisers" who
had prayed long and earnestly with him.
The Fl. Pierce jailer has not given a
very satisfactory explanation of the es.
cape. Fields was captured by posse
under Sheriff Carton Monday night.
Gov GilchriSt not knowing of the es-
cape had issued one week reprieve on
request of attorneys. Fields will there
fore be hanged to-day.

The trustees of The Internal Improve
ment Fund of the state have just awarded
a contract for digging 1874 miles OF canals
through the Everglades. The price to
be paid is twenty and two-tenths cents
per cubic yard on rock and eight and
four tenthS cents on all other ma
terial. II is estimated that the COM
pleted canals will cost about 2,OOO,OOO
The contract for this work was awarded
to the Furst Clark Construction Com
pany of Baltimore, which company
agrees to take over the four state dredgeS
at the trustees valuation of $145,0O0.
The contract is TO be signed within Is
days of the award, the work is TO com
mence Immediately, and is to be com
pleted within three years. No greater
work was ever attempted in the entire
south and the contract in its entirety is
one of the greatest reclamation featS
ever begun. In few words, the letting
of the contract means that nearly the en-
tire Everglades section of Florida will be
drained and ready for the plow within
three years time. Much of it will be
under cultivation long before then. If
it means that this great EvergladeS'is TO
be converted into wealth producing
farms, it also means that to Gov. Brow
ard, more than any other man or set OF
men, belongs the credit. The ex.gov-
ernor went at this work in a very I'M
business-like way, but he went at it.
The idea was his, and the credit for its
accomplishment will be his.

Cexterous Eating.

In the island of Jamaica, the land OF
hurricanes and earthquakes, the native
women do almost all the work, even
to blowing in the fields and working
on the government roads, and this
keeps them more or less busy. They
also have peculiar custom when eat
Ing. In order not to waste valuable
time these dark members of the gen.
tier sex have adopted an ingenious
method. They place plate containing
their food, be it hot boiled rice or rab-
bit stew, on their heads. and. thus bal
ancing the dish. they walk about the
yards of their homes, reaching up a
hand when they wish to take food
from the plate and going about their
regular work. Yet they never spill
