F“ CORK TREES.
•-5
Spain is still the largest cork
wood producing country in the
world. Nearly all the cork wood
used the world over is grown on the
Mediterranean littoral, with the ex
ception of Portugal, Spain, Algeria,
.France, Tunis and Italy being the
countries that produce it. None is
grown in Syria or Asia Minor and
an inconsiderable quantity in Tur
irey and Greece. Several of the Med
iterranean islands, and notably Cor
sica, produce it in considerable
quantities. The cork trees will pro
duce cork in continually increasing
quantity until they are over 200
years old. The trees are stripped
every seven years. On an average a
cork tree produces 675 pounds of
cork in sixty years. The exports of
cork wood from Portugal, Spain,
Algeria, France, Tunis and Italy
amounted in 1901 in value to nearly
$14,000,000.
A Kingly Bullfighter.
The king of Portugal, among his
other accomplishments, is, or was,
an accomplished bullfighter. Once,
when Duke of Braganza, he entered
the ring to face a bull “with points
unbated”—that is to say, with its
horns not padded, as is generally
the case in Portugal
ed from Spain. One of the ladies
of the court had dared the duke to
face a bull with its horns bared, and
so he entered the arena in the Span
ish manner, incognito, though every
one knew who the bold banderillo
was.
Unfortunately the duke slipped
and fell; but, starting up before the
bull could charge again, he ran for
the barricade and cleared it at a
bound just a moment or two before
the infuriated animal splintered the
woodwork with its horns.
Modern Liberty.
The Stepdaughters of the Revolu
tion were in convention assembled.
“Madam President,” said an elo
quent member from Gotham, “the
day has come when we must make
our influence felt upon our beloved
country.”
A patter of refined applause ran
around the hall.
“I move,” cried the member, “that
we go in a body to the next session
of congress and demand in clarion
tones that the Goddess of Liberty
be represented hereafter as wearing
a straight front. Why, the dowdy
old back number statues they are
erecting now are a disgrace to us
and t|ie laughing stock of every for
eigner who knows what the fashions
are.”—J udge.

RED GROCERY. |
More and More Citified.
The city council has in preparation an
ordinance, which will most probably be
come a law, that will require every per
son who proposes to erect a building of
any kind, for any purpose or in any por
tion of the city, to first secure a building
permit from the authorized official who
will have charge of this work. All
larger cities have such regulations, for
abviously good reasons, and such a reg
ulation for Gainesville will be a good
thing in many respects.

Does Gold Grow?
There are some reasons for an
swering the question, “Does gold
grow?” in the affirmative, says Pop
ular Mechanics, but we must not
expect to grow golde« eagles from
dollars. It has been found that
gold nuggets under favorable eondi
tions increase in size. It is claimed
that nuggets found in placers are
the formations from the waters that
percolate through the gravels and
are not from decomposed quartz, as
is generally supposed. Those who
so contend cite the fact that in the
center of nuggets can be found a
small grain of iron sand. This was
the nucleus around which the earth
current of electricity created or de
posited gold from the substances in
the waters, ( ust as it is deposited in
electroplating.

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 6, 1903.
His Idea of Prayer.
Harold, the 5-year-old son of the
Presbyterian minister of Dayton,
Ky., was being prepared for bed,
says Lippincott’s. He had spent a
very active day coasting, and was
weary and very sleepy.
“Now, Harold, kneel down by
mama and say ydur little prayer.”
“But, mamma” half asleep,
with his head on her shoulder.
“Be mamma’s good boy, now,”
coaxingly. “Thank God for all
His goodness to you.”
But Harold was asleep.
His mamma gently aroused him.
“Harold, don’t be naughty. Be a
good boy, now, and thank Jesus for
the nice home you have, the warm
clothing and fire to keep you warm,
and a mamma and papa to love you.
Think of the poor little boys who
are hungry and cold to-night, no
mamma to love them, no warm bed
to go to, and”—
“But, mamma,” interrupted the
sleepy boy, roused to a protest, “I
think them’s th’ fellers that ort to
do the prayin’.”
To Eternal Rest.
Miss Hattie May Simpson, aged 19
years, died yesterday morning at the
home of her parents on Prior street,
after a long illness from consumption.
The funeral will occur this afternoon at
4 o’clock at the residence, Rev. J. W.
Hargrove officiating.
Miss Simpson was the only child of
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Simpson, and her
pure and beautiful Christian character
made all who knew her love and es
teem her. Many friends will be pained
to learn of her death.
