How Floridians Live in Summer.

The qestlon is often asked, “How do people manage to live In Florida during the summer?” That they do live, anil live comfortably, is evident. Few Floridians work very hard during the hot summer months, for food costs very little. The lakes and rivers are alive with fish, the ground Is full of sweet potatoes, corn that will yield forty bushels to the acre is ripening in the fields, watermelons can be bought for five cents each, tomatoes are given away in many places, fruits are plentiful, Florida beef Is cheap and nourishing, and many other things can be had for almost nothing.—Jacksonville (Fla.)
