dear departed Mr.. Bittinger was

and the writer of this was the Spring

began to shed its effulgent rays until
I came to Ocala to live about eleven
years ago, and at which time be-
came member of the Methodist
church and got acquainted with its
good people here, who have always
been very kind to me. AS the time
went by and the Sewing Circle organ
lied and we held our weekly meetings
at the home of the different members
and partook of their hospitality, we
seemed more like a big family of sis
tiers, sure enough, instead of coming
from the east, west, north and south,
and let me say right here, that had

wavs make them as comfortable and /
happy as that big load Of wood has
made me. Words cannot express the
gratitude, thankfulness and JOY that
came over me as I gazed upon the
big box of substantial things sent by
my sewing circle friends, also the
big basket from the Kings. Daugh-
ters. Each containg luxuries as well
as. necessities. This is the second do
nation from the circle. when they gave
me such a surprise in coming to hold
their meeting with me and bringing
such an abundance Of groceries, etc,
and refreshments to serve the big

edgement was made. / would rather
be president of the Kings Daughters
than of the United States of America,
and may my dear, sweet, friend Of,
my prosperous days gone by, and her.
sisters in this good cause, live to make
many families comfortable and as
happy as their gift to me. The Sum
day school class of which / am a MEM
Der and Mrs. Washburn our below
ed teacher, also gave me surprise
by holding their monthly meeting
with me not SO long ago, bringing
nice refreshments for all also some
of the silver medal contest children
of the w. G. T. T., to recite some of
their nice pieces to me, all of which
were much enjoyed by me. Last, but
not least, are the Christmas gifts
from my dear neighbors and friends,
of all creeds, and from different
parts of the Union, but this thought
full loving kindpess has been going
on, from the date of my injury and
kept up in all manners of ways, and
/ it is not over with even now as
have had quail, ripe tomatoes, a big
bunch of lettuce ad some sweet po-
| tatoes brought me since / began
writing this long message of thanks.
Some have been bringing big trays of
dinner and some dainty Injuries;
others bouquets of flowers with words
of cheer, while the children, both boys
and girls, have brought fruit and flow
! ers of their own free will, and also
those sent by their mamas, all com
ing to me with smiling faces showing
that it was a pleasure to them, as
well as to me. When these dear
children have become men and womer
may they live by the golden rule
and the examples set for them il
their childhood by their Christian pa
rents have taken such root that Their
teachings have not been in vain.

and prosperity and given me som
of the dearest friends upon the fac

Pulaations of the Blood.

A grown-up person has ordinarily
twenty eight pounds of blood, and at
each puIsation of the heart ten ounces
are sent through the arteries and
veins. The pulsations average 40 per
minute in infancy, so in manhood and
60 in old age. and are rather more
rapid in women than in men.

DUTY Of the wiser part.

Since the foolish part of mankind
will make wars. from time to time,
with each other. not having sense
enough otherwise to settle their diff
ferences, it certainly becomes the
wiser part, who cannot prevent these
wars, to alleviate as much as possible
the calamities attending them. Benja-
min Franklin.

new pressing machines are being
added, which will amplify and large
ly increase the efficiency of the
laundry. Mr.. Metcalfe is a laundry

tensive business character and his
enterprises are all the very best to

crease the danger of freezing ard
dampening off. Ventilate the bed af-
ter watering in order to dry off the
plants.
Before the plants are set out they
should be hardened off and this can
be done by transferring to cold
frame or by removing the hot bed
sash during the days in mild weather.
AS the plants become hardened the
sash can be kept oft at nights when
there is no danger OF frost. This
hardening off process must be done
gradually to prevent any serious
check to growth.
If it is impossible to make a not
bed the plants can be started in shal-
low boxes in the house. Get shallo.v
boxes from a store and fill with good,
rich soil and SOW the seed as describ-
ed for the hot bed. Bore two or
three holes in the bottom Of the box
for drainage. Keep the box as near
a window as possible and at living
room temperature. Close attention.
should be given to watering as the
air of a living room is usually dry and
will soon dry out the soil. The plants
must be developed i'm the light or they
will be weak and spindling. They
should be transplanted to other boxes
or TO a cold frame, which is made IN
the same way as the hot bed except
that the manure is left out and canvas
may be substituted for the glass SASH
In the far South il will not be neces-
sary to have a hot bed, the cold frame
will be sufficient.
