University CatalOg.

The Annual Catalog Of the Univer-
sity Of Florida with announcements
for the coming year has just been is
sued 1t is a wcll-constructed and
neatly printed volume Of some two
hundred pages which gives clear
idea Of the scope and character of the
work done in the institution.
In the first section, containing Cen
eral Information, one is impressed
with the splendid equipment in build
ings, laboratories, library, museum
which has been developed in so short
period; with the various lines Of the
student activities, the Y. M. c. A, the
literary societies, publications, athlet-
les. ETC., with the very low cost to the
student for all Of these advart'
and with the very high standard of
entrance requirements, fifteen Carne-
gle units OF graduation from High
School, which places our University
in this respect abreast Of the leading
institutions of the country
In the second part, the various
scholastic activities are described
The University is composed of a
Graduate School, and five colleges:
the College Of Arts and Sciences, the
College of Agriculture, the College OF
ENGINEERING, the Teachers College,
and the College Of Law. In compar-
ing the courses offered in the various
departments with those described in
other catalogs one is impressed with
their fullness and variety; and we re
ali2p that it is no longer necessary for
our boys to 90 outside the state when
thev desire the very best education,
for he instruction offered in this in
stitution compares favorably with
that Of any university in the United
States.
In looking over the list of students,
one is struck with the remarkable
growth of the institution. If we re-
member correctly, the attendance at
the University was scarcely over the
hundred mark the year prior to the
present administration. This year
shows registration considerably
above four hundred. So far as we
know, no other institution in Amerl-
ca has had such a phenominal percen-
tage of increase in the last eight
years. The distribution of these stu.
dent, shows that the State Schools of
Florida are no longer restricted to To-
cal patronage, but that the patronage
is statewide, and, to degree unusual
in southern institutions, nation and
worldwide, the enrolment shows tif-
tv-one counties of Florida and twen-
tv-four states and foreign countries
rcpres ented.
In al respects, the State has much
to congratulate itself upon in the up
building of this great institution

BULBS IN A BOWL.
An Easy Way to Cultivate Miniature
Floating Grrdens

A novel way of growing bulbs, such
as crocuses, has been tried with good
success. After securing the bulbs the
next thing is to get one or two rather
large corks. Through these holes are
bored and the bulbs fitted into the
openings in such a way that the under
side, from which the roots spring, Is
near the lower part Of the cork.
Now obtain Il large shallow bowl and
fill this with pure water. Float the
corks with the bulbs in place, on the
surface and set the whole thing aside
in rather shady position for two or
three weeks At the end of this time
it will be noticed that the roots are
growing down into the water: thence
forward place in a sunny window
should be selected
The upper shoots of the bulbs will
start to grow rapidly and at this time
it IS a good plan to arrange little
moss to hide the upper surface of the
corks, or, If preferred, however, grass
or some other seed, such as cress, may
be soWn to provide green ~ ering
There is nothing to do but to keep
the bowl well supplied with water and
change this now and again. Finally
the flowers emerge, and then the effect
is extremely pretty. The bulbs may be
planted in this way any time up to
early January, though naturally the
sooner they are started the earlier they
will blooms. Leonard Bastin In St.
Nicholas

10 snow their appreciation of it. Ma
ny OF our cltlzens deserve special men,
tlon Tor their eXertions to make our
barbecue a success, but to our patriot
ic and generous ladies too much cred
1t cannot be given, and long may they
be held IN grateful admiration by our
people,. After dinner the attention of
the audience was claimed by that most
aDle and eloquent advocate of Reform
Hon: K. B. Hilton of Leon County,
until the Sun in his fading glorie5
sank in the West, and the meeting
was adjourned by Judge Jas. Burt,
whose valuable services are given to
the cause. Never before did such a
large and enthusiastic audience listen
10 such able and patriotic addresses in
Falatka. We regret that time did not
allow our nominee for the State Sen
ate, Hon. F. M. McMeekin to address
the people. He is man whom Put
nam County delights to honor, for his
noble character, and answering in
tegrity.
by no means the least part of the
demonstration was the grand Torch
Light Procession which formed in the
evening, with banners, torches, and
transparenceS, covered with beautiful
2nd appropriate notices. With inspi-
ring music and mirthful enthusiasm
the imposing procession was conduct
ed by our gallant and popular young
toWnsman, Mr.. S. j. Kennerly through
the principal streets to the st. Johns
Hotel, where large crowd of ladies
and gentlemen had collected and were
entertained by spirited and eloquent
address and appeals by Gov. Bard of
Alabama, and Florida's Eagle orator
Col. Wilk Call. AS a token of their
love Of country, and appreciation of
those who defend it, "The Young La
dies Drew and Hull Club of Palatka,'
presented the orators of the occasion
with two large and beautiful cakes
Col. Bowen making the presentation,
and Gcnl. Finley replying to the young
ladies in his usual elegant and happy
style. The ceremonies Of the day
wound up with a dance, and flying feet
tripped the light fantastic, until the
wee small hours. This closed the
most memorable day for Putnam
County of this Centennial year, .ex-
cept it may be the 7th day of No
vember when we shall declare through |
the ballot box that Stearns, and his ilk |
shall no longer feed upon the "bacon'
of the Government Of the people,"
The st. Johns Hotel spoken of in
the above story occupied the ground |
where the Earnest Company's store
now stands. 1t was a two-story
building with an ample porch and was
kept by the Petermann's. A number
Of the young Ladies' Drew and Hull
Club" and who We're conspicuous at
the ball in the evening, are now grown
and still residing here. All I
of the men who had parts in the event
have passed to the "other side"
The election which followed this
great demonstration. on the 7th OF
made good the prediction
Of the editor, when the people really
did declare through the ballot box
that Stearns (the carpet bag COVER
lor) and his ilk, shall no longer feed
upon the bacon of the government
Of the people," for George F. Drew
was elected governor, the first demo-
erat to serve in that office since the
war, and whose administration put
IN end to carpet bagism in Florida.

VCTORlA'S LETTERS.
Royal Secrets That Are Stored Away
In Buckincham Palace,

I'VE may wonder If the world will
ever be allowed to see the private cor.
respondence amassed by the late Queen
Victoria says a writer 1t is stored
away in strong room built into the
walls of buckingham palace, and the
queen shared her confidence with no
one.
So long as she was physically able to
do so she opened and closed the safe
herself and arranged its contents
When she was too feeble to do this she
employed an old and trusted secretary,
but even he had to work under the
royal eye He was never allowed to
keep the keys nor to read the letters
that he handled.
Queen Victoria was always a volumi
nous letter writer, and she was in con.
stant communication with most of the
royalties in Europe. Every domestic
secret and privacy of royalty during
half century is said to be represented
by the contents of this wonderful safe,
and ii is easy to believe that the mod.
ern historian would find his hands full
if he were permitted to browse among
these letters
But probably he will have to wait
few hundred years, and then his pop
ular audience will be langud one. 1t
Is one of the ironies of life that we can
never have a thing when we want it

Have you ever visited the dairy
from which you get your milk? If
not, how do you know as to the clean
liness of the milk you are getting and
as to the sanitary condition of the
bottles in which it is delivered to you?
The bottle delivered to you today
may not have been sterilized and may
have been returned to the dairyman
yesterday from a sick room where
there is measles, mumps, whooping
cough, scarlet fever, dyphtheria or
some other contagious disease. And
this endangers the lives of your chill
dren. Is this not a matter we'll
worth the attention of every parent to
Consider, that in a single year the in

Put Finishing Touches on
Laurel Track for Races

Gus luncheons and after-races dinners
have been arranged. and It is planned
as last year to give several tea-dances
after the races are over
Many thoroughbreds are already at the
track. The latest arrivals were the
horses Of August Belmont and Willis
Sharpe Kilmer. The Belmont string is
comprised OF imported 3-year-olds which
have never started in this country. They
include brother to Rock View and an
other to Half Rock. The older horses
including Stromboli which are now at
Havre de Grace will be shipped from
that track to Laurel Park this week
Among the half-dozen thoroughbreds be-
longing to Mr.. Kilmer is Tom McTag-
CART, star 2-year-old. by Chuctanunda,
which Mr.. Kilmer purchased from the
Brighton Stable a few weeks ago for
Sl2,5Oo Others in the Kilmer lot are the
Imported 2-year-olds War Doll, Hather,
and Election. Tom Healey, who trains
the big string owned by R. T. Wilson
wrote that he will ship from Havre de
Grace next Wednesday. Other shipments
will be made tomorrow and Tuesday.
There are already at the track about
200 horses, and when the Havre de Grace
contingent arrives all OF the 1,15o stalls
outside will be filled. This will insure
big fields and lively speculation.
Many horses were on the track yester-
day, and trainers who worked their
charges all declared that the Laurel
course this year will be faster than at
any time in its history. Miles better
than 1:3s before the meeting Is many
days old are prophesied by Col. r. A.

little effect on the going and the track
yesterday was in fine condition.
