If a patient approaches an attendant asking fer help in any manner, he will invariably get a bat in the jaw, and a kick with his foot. The attendants take great pleasure in seeing the patients in fight with each other and many patients are disabled in this way. There have been patients in this institute crippled and disabled for life by the cruel treatment re- ce.yed from the attendants.

Queer Way In Which an Umbrella Case
 Was Decided In Poland.
 The Central Law Journal says that the old fable of the lawyers and the oyster, in which. the ownership of an oyster being contested, the lawyers ate the oyster and gave shell to each of the ltigants, is matched by a story of a lawsuit which d Russian Journal re lates as entirely authentic.
 In city of Poland, it appears, two men came into court with a suit over the ownership of an umbrella which had been left in a restaurant Each one introduced evidence to prove that the umbrella was lis Being unable to match the wisdom of Solomon by dividing the umbrella between them. the judge postponed the case. Tend. Ing its decision the umbrella was left In the judges private room.
 Later. as he left the court to go home, the judge found thUt the wcath CT was rainy. He went back to his room, took the umbrella which was in litigation and spread 1t over his head In the street. On his way home he went Into a restaurant and left the umbrella on the rack, and when he was ready to-leave the place he found that 1t had been taken away by some unknown customer Then he bought another umbrella and took 1t to his courtroom.
 When the-casc came up the litgants were confronted with It, and neither was able to identify 1t as his own. The court thereupon fined them both for invoking the law on q frivolous pretext, and they departed empty handed and decidedly "nonsulted."

Food service

The .oOd is very scant and infe- r.ur la quality. The vegetables served such as potatoes, carrots, turuI. and cabbage are unmar- keta.5Ie owing to their decayed cluaia,u. The patients never have -uy butter, milk or sugar served to them. The only meat that is 1erycd to patients is served tO t-ose who are able to work our cu the farm, and then only once day in tue form of soup made from the Isayings left over from the officers and attendants table. and l assure you there is very little meat ill this soup.

Plant More Fruit Trees

There is nothing which brings
more pleasure and satisfaction tc
a home owner than the propaga.
ton of a fruit tree, and more OF
these should be planted. Bear,
ing ON this subject the Braden-
town Journal says:
cts a worthy suggestion OF
County Superintendent w. M.
Rowlett that the habit of chance
planting of fruit trees is a good
habit, which might be followed
with profit in the Land of Mana
tee and throughout Florida.
"Often it happens that a seed
planted in a protected, though
out of the way place, fourishes
wonderfully, and, though of slow
er growth than that which is at
tanned by the highly cultivated
tree or vine, finds exactly what
the plant needs for its perfect
growth and fruitage.
And this suggestion of the
school man brings to mind a very
pretty little story in connection
with the propagation of the Ell
berta peach, probably the most
popular of the peach family in its
season.
"A Tampa young woman, a
niece Of the propagation of the
wonderful peach, every year at
the season when the Elbertas are
at their best, entertains a select
company of friends on an occa-
sion when peaches in various
form furnish the menu of refresh
ments. This young woman, who
has plucked peaches from the
sprouts of the original tree, re-
members the story of the alberta
peach tree, which grew from
stone carelesSly cast aside and
without a thought of the fortune
t contained.
