FREAK OF NATURE i FLORrO

Stretch of I flo.ouu Ac.-e-t iu Kxient, Covered Uli BtaJc-HolM. Pavne's prairie, three miles south of Gaititsville, Fla., covers an area of .",. 000 acres. A lare proportiou of the prairie is now covered with water, but there arc thousands of acres around the borders of the iake which haa been formed on which horses and other cattle graze. There is no way of estimating the number of cattle, but there are many thousands, and they are in fine condition. The prairie, or savanna, which it really is. occasionally gees dry, the water passing out through a subterranean passage called the sink. Where ihe water goes has never been determined. When the sink is open th lake goes dry. and when the outlet becomes gorged or choked a lake from five to seven miles wide and about eighteen miles long is formed. When the waters of the iake suddenly leave fct thousands of alligators, snakes, fish and turtles are Ktft with nothing hut mod for their places of abode. The fish and turtles perish, but the saurlans and reptiles seek and find other qtiarteni. For miles along the northern border of the lake there is a succession of sinks, averaging in depth all the way from tw-e ity-five to 100 feet. .Subterranean passages run in every direction, leaving the ground in the shape of a honeycomb. The ground is liable to give way at any time, creat ing a new sink. Scenery around the lake, especially on the north side, is .".'oi. i 'i! 1 r mil : rwl la i . - - - - an aiuacuvo eature to strangers who visit Gainesville. The sink has long been popular as a resort for citizens of Gainesville, who go there to fish, boat ride and in other ways enjoy themselves. It is said that this vast area of land could be drained at trifling expense, a.id were it drained it would, be the largest as well as the richest tract of productive land In Florida. It is for the most part a bed of muck. The land is owned by various individuals. FOREIGN ERS IN CHINA. Ten ThotiaMnd, uf Whom 13 Per Cent Are Amerh-Mii-t. There are over in, 000 Europeans and Americaus resident in China, says the New York Herald. The English head the lilt with 4,000; the Americans numher 1,325. Germans, 8S-; Norwegians, 375; liussians. 116; Italiaaa, 103. etc. There arc 009 Japanese. Twenty-two ports are open to foreign residents that is to say, Europeans are allowed lo acquire conditional tiUe to certain lands, on which they live, govern thmselves and have special privileges in judicial matters. These porta are Mengtz, Eung Chow. Pakhoi, King Chow, Lappa, Canton, Kowion, Swa- ! tov. Amoy, Fuehau. Winshow, Ning- ; po. Shanghai, Chinkiag, Wuhu, Kiukiank, Hankow, Ichang, Chunging, C'xeefoo, Tientsin and Niotichwang. It hi to be noted that Pekin does not appear on this list, altiiough the embassies and legations are established there. The Chinese who find them- ! selvas undr foreign jurisdiction appear more than contented with the sitnation, because, although taxc-s are J hlg-h. they are fixed. Two hundred j thousand natives live in the European settlements of Shanghai. Besides the I foreign residents of China, a large number live in ports that have been ceded to other nations.

Probably self-distrust I3 cne of the readiest causes of failure, says the Spectator. A man who, however much he conceals the fact from observation, feels in his heart of hearts that he is not capable of doing the work that he has undertaken, is almost sure to fail. Ordinary diffidence as to one's power ia Quite another matter, and by no means a necessary impediment to success. Such nervousness Is often purely luperfieial and merely means that the anxiety to succeed is go great that it causes a reaction. The dangerous selfdistrust to which we are alluding is a much more negative quality and generally has joined to it a strong chain ol indifference. But when a man does not think he will succeed, and alee U dnnhtfn, ,w,0, u ! 'ft ...u ?! doubtful whether it is worth while to aucceed, or rather whether it is not a matter of indifference whether he wins or loses, failure is almost certain. Thtl atultlfying indifference to failure ia much more widely spread than peopi6 generally imagine. Because failure seems to the average man so horrlhle, producing, aa it must, humiliations and miseries, remorseful feelings and regrets of every kind, the average man cannot imagine any human being in different to it. Yet, as a matter of fact. there are men whose hearts become so Indurate that thpv , ih .on. indurated that they do not mind either failure or its consequences. They would endure anything rather than rouse themselves to the painful effort of resisting the march of what they call fate, ""hey will float with the ftream or tiie, but, come what may, they will njt row a stroke against either.

EGRETS FOREWOMEN'S MAT8.

Thomas Jone ,)usht quietly into the edge of the nesting grouud, ties his boat firmly within easy range of the Uli snag he saw the day before, and takes out his rifle, says Forest and Stream. There ia an egret on the tall fuag. Taking a steady aim, he fires, and the bird whirls down dead. One or two other birds start on their perches in the same tree, but settle Inu'k. One by one they. too. whirl out and lie in a white tangled mass at the fHt of the free. An egret raises herself above the rim of the nest on which she sits, and the tiny bullet pierces her. She whirls down, lying white and motionless. The little ones gape and cry. but no food comes. The father was kille'l on the tree near by. One by one out of tho nests, off the limbs of the trees, here, there, anywhere for the birds are all about, and so stupid with Ute breeding fever that they will not leave the slender white birds meet their doom. That tall snas; has yielded twenty victims. Jones has not moved from his boat. He haa over 200 birds down. He can tell by hia cartridge boxes, for he rarely misses a shot. It is easy shooting. After noon ha gathers up his sioils. A cut of the knife and the clump of plume is off. Two hundred cejnoaaaM of egrets are left lying. That many more tomorrow Many more than that the next day. for by that time the wailing of the dying young of the first nays victims will have ceaeed. I'rom - .a , ' , .

In leas than a month it is over. The long white lines no longer cross the country going to and from the feeding grounds. The white forms no longer appear on the naked trees. Doubly naked the forest stands in silent desolation. Sodden and discolored the once white , forms below the trees are sinking into the slime. From beneath the trees and from the nests up in thp trees a great stench goes up. Not a bird, young or old. is left alive. The old atevsd HIT rVath came, bound bv the great instinct of nature to remain with their young. AN AFFRONT RESENTED. The fteile of the Rival Town ..,t atwss. "There was the most intense rivalry hat ween two towns la Colorado and I was a resident of one of them." said the retired business man to the Detroit Free Press reporter. "It was not altogether a generous rivalry, and within certain classes disputed superiority generally led to muscular discussion. Business men vied for trade in debatable territory, the doctors, the lawyers, seen tho ministers, said har.h things against the other town, but it was in social circles that the belligerency was apparent at its height. People who could not afford it would go in for display, and when the two piaces had a function in common the toilets were chosen with special reference to showing that they were very expf nsive or to casting reflection upon the rival city. At a mask ball held in the other place I had the hardihood and impudence to perpetrate what I thought a telline iokp I w,i a rlrnnaaai rl ' vivaeara in a ('"me of newspapers and ap1 nVO nAil 1 n ! A Igt immm ' m M peared in the literary character of The Quick and the Dead. Gradually it dawned upon the residents that the papers of my own town represented the quirk.' while the papers of their town represented the 'dead.' It was an unpardonable insult. Indignation ran so high that I lxgun to wish I had not been so brilliant. The sensational ... ..wiMii denouement came when a hoa ,f th -' v ' ' t i ii' rival city took a little promenade with me and quietly touched a lighted match to my costume. In an instant I was all quick and no dead. I rolled ! in the grass, and in duo time the conj flagratlon was extinguished, but you can see the marks yet. "Then the papers of the other town made a dead set at me, raked up my record even niort thoroughly than if I had been running for office and made some remote locality look so inviting that i left." STAGE TRAGEDIES. "Knded III Day a an Actor Ought to Io." One of the dramatic little stories of Mr. F. Frankfort Moore, the London novelist, turns on the actual stabbing of a Juliet by a jealous Romeo (hiring a performance in a German court thea ter, says Harper's Weekly. Such tragic incidents have not infrequently oc1 I ? iwreqeenwy 00CUTT in the of opera and play bouse. In our own citv'3 chief lvric the? ter last season we had in what seemed the lively comedy of an actor something leading up to his sudden death, when the unfortunate Castrlmary, as Sir Tristan Mickleford, was pursued by a crowd of Richmond Fair folk in "Martha." There are at least a dozen well-attested suicides that have been Consummated by luckless actors and singers under cover of the tragic movement of their part. A more recent T u u n , Arad' "ngary. when a well-known leading member of the company, Koloman Balla, put a real and loaded re volver to his forehead in concluding the last act of the night's drama. He fell dead, amid an immense demonstration of applause from a crowded house quite unaware of the reality of the actor's emotion and gestures. He was a man of excellent family and bright in I professional prospects, disappointed In love, morbid, and, as he grimly wrote CO a friend, "determined to end his days as an actor ought to do to the satisfaction of his public."

AUSTRIAN EMPIRE CHANCED.

The fcmparur I Raatlj KeuarlrabU Mitu. Nothing is more wonderful than the difference between the Austrian empire that was and the Austrian empire that Is. I knew it about forty years ago. says a correspondent in London Truih. Then it was one of the cheapest countries in Europe, now there is no country dearer. In this it has kept pace with Germany. Bohemia is probably the wealthiest state ot the Austrian empire. The pecple there have always been comfortably off, and now they are well off. I never came across a village where the houses are uot far better built than the English farmhouses and cottages. If there la no great luxury, there seems to be no want. But agriculture Is not the sole industry. Factories are springing up everywhere. In all parts one sees tall chimneys. They are not picturesque, but they mean energy and the creation of wealth. The emperor is really a remarkable man. Practically not only the foreign affairs of the empire are in his hands, but so thorough is the belief in his honesty and good sense that he may be said to keep the empire together. He Is no longer a young man. and wheiher the empire will fall to pieces afier him Is a possible contingency. The heir Is a young man. whose health is so bad that he is not likely to live to Inherit the crown. His brother has only one specialty. He is, by the way, one ot the best horsemen in the empire, hut this is hardly a gift calculated to keep the various component and antagonists parts of it in harmony. ODD AND INTERESTING.

It is well known that when the petals of the great laurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact ia taken advantage of by the lover, who pulls a magnolia flower, and on one of its pure, white petals writes a motto or message with a hard, sharp-pointed pencil. Then he semis the flower, the young lady puts it in a vase of water,

M A WEEK r U"R tiOWT.

renl'ig a Family at a Cost of IS Caste a Day for Each Pcrioo. In the Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. S. T. Rorer tells how a family of eight peions can be fed and well fed at the aggregate eoat of $10 a week. "To carry out the scheme," she says, ' artieltis must be purchased economically and no waste permitted. A table which is supplied for a family of eight for $10 a week must, of necessity, be plain, but it may. at the same time, not lc?ck for variety or wholesomeaess. Sweetmeats and rich dessen must be oounted only as occasions luxuries and eunpany" diahea must be omitted al tog's th er. Meat, the most expensive food iif-m, may be puicliasod in a muoh larger quantity than ia needed for a single meal and utilized Freocti fashion. The poor and middle ciass of this country mua: learn more abvut tho food value of the leguraeus, mors about the proper perparation of fooa ajid last, but not it-ast, mora about th proper oomlr nations of food. Avoid the buying of steaks, roasts and chops saih week. It is an expensive household indeed which has no repertoire of cheap dishes. A beef'a heaxt or a braised calf's livr makes an enoellent and economical change. Broiled aheep'a kidueys, with a little bacon, give a good breakfast, at a oast of lw eents. Smothered leef, which may be made from Ute tough end of the rump steak, is appetizing and only costs half the price of an equal food vaJas f tenderloin steak. The housekeeper ihould go to market early and buy 3nJy the best materials. They keep longer and go further eb.au the inferior ones. Barlsfaabls food should be bought in small quantities two or three tJme-s a week. Gxceriea enough to last a mouth should be laid in. Canned goods and conserved aweeta should be bought sparingly. Meat ia always a most expensive artioie and not a particle of it should be allowed to go to waste."
