MS. DIS3TON T ~S PLAYTHING. A Colossal Undertaking that Should Do Much for f lor.da. From the Sew York Tribune. One of toe moat energetics men of to-day j, Hamilton Dimton of Philadelphia, aon of H e ary Disston, of aawmnking fame, head of tbe great manufacturing housj of Henry Huston’* done. Having grown wearied with tte monotony of personally conduct ing a bust'less requiring a force of 3,000 akiile-i artisans, he has entered into anew indmtry. the pursuit of which e . vt * him the highest satisfaction, if not the greatest profit. Hamilton Disston will be known to posterity as B reclaimer of land as well as a sawmaker. B nd incidentally may be remembered as a grower of cane sugar. Furht run re he will be set down a* a wonderful traveler. No engineer, no conductor, no Pullman car por ter, knows tbe road from Philadelphia to Kiiimmee ha'f so thoroughly as V. In bis special car he U avels it s > often that one grows tired of costing the trips Mi lo be tween the saw w urks and the svigar mill. The distance is i,4<X) miles, yet he speaks of the jou.-ey as if it were an hour’s walk. Mr. Disston is about 45 years of age, is short of stature, has a mustache like "Da i" I.amout’s and an eye like that of the great v . 'in tbe cage at tbe Tatn[ a Bay hotel, s ss. can look straight at the sun with •„ k - ir, or even a blink. He is far from t .. me. In bis features there is too concentration of rugged lines for hssu' f to have a place. At the club in Phila- la he is a clubman in the best mean* ing’of that phrase; be is one of the best enter tainers, and one of the most gererous. Noth ing can subdue, depress or uisoourage him. He ca drink plenty of champagne between U o'clock and mid light, and be at the saw works at 7 o’clock with cool and capacious brain. At the sugar plantation he might always pass unnoticed by the visiting stranger. His rusty old clothes and his little slouch bat, with the brim drawn down jti a sharp point over the left eye, do indeed distinguish him from the "cracker,” but in a party of celebrated people he would never be seen till looked hard at two or three times. It is on the sugar plantation that you would, however, find him at his best. Go visit him there. Go look over his millions of acres and walk through his mill. His head quarters are at Kissimmee, properly pro nounced "Kis-simm-ee,” accent on the 'Vimm.” Don’t make the oft repeated mis take of asking a young woman: "Are you going to Kiss-immee?” There is a legend in Florida about a man having been kicked off a moving tram for being too facetious concerning Kissimmee. Send a messenger around to the station of the St. Cloud Sugar Beet railroad and order a special train for an 8-mile ride to the sugar mill. The road is Mr. Disston’s now. When built, it was the joint prop erty of >lr. Disston and William L. Scott, the coal baron of Erie, who had a much more oxtensivo interest in Florida than his acquaintance dreamed of. Tbe track, like the man that owns it, is broad gauge, and the engines and cars are first-class. An arm of Lake Tohopekaliga is crossed a short distance from Kissimmee, and here the visitor sees the first signs of tbe colossal undertaking of the man who is con verting into dry land marshes that spread over enough acres to make a state larger than Rhode Island or Delaware. The lake, fifteen miles long, one of the largest and most t eautiful in Florida, as well as tbe m lit dangerous, has been robbed of four feet of water by the deepening of the canal that runs into Lake Kissimmee, which lies eighteen miles to the southward and emp ties through the Kissimmee river into Lake Okeechobee, seventy-five miles lower down. The last named, the largest body of fresh water in tbe south, is drained by the ser pentine Caloosahatohie river, which joins tbe gulf at Pine island, 100 miles south of the Tampa Inn. To lower four feet the sur face of a lake whose superficial area is little less tbau seventy-five square miles ie do bit of childish nonsense. The reclaiming of the Okeefinoket. in Southern Georgia is porhaiie a more stupendous enterprise than this, in so far as mere drainage is concerned, but it is not believed that Georgia will gain nearly bo much by it as Florida has gained by the operations of Mr. Disstou in drawing off the waters of Tohopekaliga. By his well planned Hystem of canals he ha* left high and dry, uot only all the old piers und wharves that were once the pride of Kissimmee, but also 4,000,000,000 acre* of as rich land as tho tropical sun ever shown upon. He went into partnership with tbe state, furnished all the capital of the firm, did all the work, and took one-half of the profits, that is, one halt of the land reclaimed, so that he now 0wn52,000,000 acres. The land, as may be seen by a glance at the sides of the deepest ditches in the reclaimed territory, is of tbe finest quality. No subsoil is discovered. From the surface to a depth of ten or t wolve feat you find a rich, black loam, easily cul tivated and highly productive. Experi ment has proved that it is peculiarly adapted to the growth of ribbon cano, and the belief io widespread that the i egion, al ready characterized as the sugar belt, is destined to become the sugar center of the United States. The manufacture of sugar is anew in dustry in Florida, but with the government aid is is making rapid strides. The orange crop has not been generally profitable in the last four years. Many growers have lost money, owiug to the overproduction; Cali fornia having proved a formidable, nay, a disastrous competitor. The only crop of which Florida can safely boast at this writing is the crop of northern tourists. It has in reality kept the state alive when everything else failed. It is increasing all the time.is not affected by drougebs or fresh ets, and requires nocultivation. It does not have to be marketed. It is ready money. But the natives continue to grow oranges and they will soon begin to grow sugar. The government bounty on home-grown sugar is 2 cents a pound, which should make the crop highly profitable. The West Indies, as sugar-producing islands, are rapidly losing ground. Especially is this true of all the smaller islands, the Wind ward group having practically been ruined by the system of absentee-landlordism, *hich prevails to an alarming extent. The Louisiana plantations are not what they were, though the acreage is now on the in crease—a fact due entirely to the bounty. Mr. Disstou had a little over 3,600 acres in sugar cane last year, and his mill is still grinding and boiling and evaporating. The yield is 4.000 pounds of high grade sugar to the acre, and he was well satisfied ith it till Claus Spreckels became his guest, Bud after looking over the ground, de clared : ‘DisstoD, you say you are making 4,000 Funds to the acre. Why, with suoh land ts this, you should not make less than four Las. You should have no trouble making five.” Mr. Spreckels may be supposed to know something about sugar. But oven with a liiid of 4,000 pounds Mr. Disston is making J!” crop fetch in over S3OO gm acre. Mr. “Preckels pays him a fraction over3 cents a Pound for his crop, and the government, •imply to encourage him, makes him a Present of 3 more, which enables him to sell •’■over 5 cents. But he is not in the busi- I,< * to make money alone. When asked his real object was in reclaiming land and making sugar, he replied: '.[{he truth is, I wanted a plaything.” " ell, you have it,” replied a friend. And it has eot you a vast bubo, too,” “'u another. , " 1 hat’s so,” was the answer, "but I am caving a vast amount of fun with it.” Hit magnificent mill alone represents an .vestment of $500,000. Thera is no better *h the world. Its present capacity is brn-a day. A government officer look* ~'r the product, weighing and officially s i.plng every barrel before it leaves the kunnug house.

A cry has gone forth that the blonde type of woman is disappearing, that the golden haired, blue-eyed, peaches and cream girl is being shoved out by a tall, athletio young woman with dark hair and Pig, dark eyes. This is not the first time that this wail has been ui.tered. it is the same old bowl which goes up annually, but as this is the first time it has been raised this year, it is, per haps, fitting to stop and consider the ti uth of the story. It would t>e a sad thing to really believe that all the blondes were fading out of the world. Why, since the world began, the blonde woman has been the acknowledged type of innooence and truth. All the virt ues nestled comfortably in her amber tresses, and all the graces played bide and seek in the fringes of her azure eyes. Do you suppose you could persuade any one that Eve was a dark-haired woman! Did you ever hear of a blaek-eyed angel. Why, 1 know a woman who used to cry herself to sleep every Sunday night when she was a child. She thought she was too good to go to bell, but she didn’t soe how they were going to make room in heaven for a brunette, and it preyed on her mind awfully. All tbe bewitching women whose names have been immortalized in history aod poesy were blondes. Don’t you know that the hair of Venus rippled on her divine shoulders in a golden flood! Ceres’ hair was corn colored. Helen of Trov had locks as yellow as wheat. The old masters have painted Salome, who danced for the head of John the Baptist, with a crown of golden hair. Remember Lucretia Borgia’s tawny aureole. Lady Macbeth, Mary Tudor, Catherine and Mane do Medici, *Anne of Austria, Mme. de Sevigne were all blondes. One of the greatest charms of the Empress Eugenie was her golden red hair. Queen Elizabeth had distinctly red tresses. Cousin describes the hair of the Duohess de Longueville as "the finest cif ashen-blonde hair, falling in rich curls around the pure oval face aud spreading over the perfect shoulders.” The Roman women hated their dark hair and wore blonde wigs, imported from Germany at fabulous prices. The German women were very proud of their light locks, and those who did not possess them washed their hair in beer or rubbed it with plaster of lime. Tho Venetian ladies underwent all sorts of torture to produce the bronze tints called after Titian, which are so popular with our actresses to-day. So, you see, in other days there were plenty of blonde*. It is a famous humorist who tells us why nowadays we have more brunettes than blondes. “Heaven,” he says, "sent upon tho earth many women with golden hair that thoy might charm the other half of humanity. Seeing this, the devil who hates men, sent cooks. These, with theiit sauces and ra gouts, disordered the human liver and pro duced the desired result —dark skin and hair.” There may be a grain of truth in this witticism or it may be merely a peevish thrust born of gout, but it serves to show that even a humorist who is engaged in making jokes all his life cau realize a sad truth when he cones in oontaot with it The novelists also seem to appreciate the fact that the blonde type is out of the race, for they make their heroines brunettes. One can remember when tho good and gen tle heroine of a novel was always u pale saintly creature, with turquoise eyes and honey-colored tresses. Gradually she changed to a plump and cheerful brunette, with hazol eyes, brown hair and red cheeks. In these days si,e is a tall, willowy individu al, with either green eyes aud bronze-red hair, or gray eyes aud r6ddish-brown hair. But if blundes are scarce, if golden hair is not often seen, so is black hair. That heavy veil of treßses as black as a raven’s wings and with the same purplish shadows In it which is the heritage of the patriolan Italian women, is seldom seen elsewhere. We have bleached blondes and drab blondes, and we have muddy brunettes, aud half-and-half brunettes, but we rarely have the perfect type in either case. Dandruff forms when the glands of the skin are weakened, and, if neglected, bald ness is sure to follow. Hall’s Hair Renewer is tbf best preventive.— Ad. PARAGUAY ALLIGATORS. They Are Numerous and Hard to Kill, But Not Dangerous. From Si. Nicholas. Of course, since there are no hunters to kill them, wild animals arc very plentiful; it is not uncommon to see jaguars and deer, even from the deck of tbe steamer. But moseof all alligators about. When the waters are highest, they roam over the flooded land, seeking the small animals, water birds and fish on which they live; at that time they are not so common along tbe river channels, and only now and then may one be seen in the shallows, witn but the top of his ugly head above the surfaoe of the water. In the dry season, as the waters recede, they gather in the river in such amtiziug numbers that I can compare them only to tadpoles in a pond. I have counted over sixty on a small sand bank, literally piled one over the other, while ail around tbe water was full of them. They lie thus for hours basking in the sun, and quite still; but if a steamer approaches the mass begins to move, there is a great rattling of scales as they hustle each other to rcaeh the water, and in a moment only five or six aro left, who raise their heads and stare at tbe ves sel until it ha* passed them. These more oourageous fellows are generally the larger ones, and offer tempting shots. I am no spoi uiiusn, hut my brother-in-law, who was traveling with me, killed many from the steamer’s deck, using only oourse shot. It Is not so easy to kill those that are seen on the surfaco of tbe water: shot, and even a bullet, will glance off from tbe hard skull unless the eye be hit. Tbe top of the eye socket is never more than two or three inohes above the surface, aud as they are usually at rather long range, even a skill ful marksman may he pardoned for a miss. Though so numerous the alligators are not regarded as daogarous. l have often seen the young uegrdes and Indian hoys swimming within a few yard* of them, and the re, tiles paid little attention to their play. Cattle, too, wade about tbe flooded grass lands in search of pasturage, and are ra: elv molested by alligators. In fact, un less driven to bay or ravenous with hunger, they dare not attack man or the larger ani mals; but they are always on the watch for smaller pray. Col.

THE MICROSCOPE. How tbe Instrument Punished the Guilty and Saved the Innocent. From the Chicago Herald. In conversation a day or two ago with the crown prosecutor I was shown a curious ac count of persons who had been found guil ty of murder by circumstantial evidenoe, and one of the greatest aids in the detec ton of murder crimes is furnished by tbe microscope in tbe bands of scientific men. In dstiuguDning human blood on a knife or razor from rust or from that of another ani mal, in discovering a particle of poisonous matter invisible to tbe naked eye, and m various other w ays the microscope has ren dered invaluable assistance to justice. It has been the means of acquitting many an innocent man whom the chain of circum stantial evidence was drawing toward the gallows, and of delivering many a murder er into the bands of the executioner. In 1855 a murder of an unusually brutal character was committed in Cumberland. The murdered man, the paymaster of a col liery, had been waylaid in a lonely up ,t, his throat cut from ear to ear. and his bodv fluug under a hedge. Circumstai tal evi dence of a very mcriminat.ug nature was brought aqainst tbe prisoner. He bad been seen near tne spot of the murder about the time tbe deed was done, and had attempted to disguise himself by cutting off his whis kers; but jurors are very reluctant to con vict on circumstantial evidence alone, and the circumstances in this case, though very incriminating, were not thought sufficiently conclusive. The aid of the detective micro scope was invoked. A learned microscopist on examining the prisoner's trousers found voveral spots of human blood, the largest "being uot so large as a swacshot." Around these spots were traces of soap, ev ident signs of the spots having been at tempted to be washed out, while over one or two Ink had been spread. The ivory handle of a razor found in the prisoner's posession was also smeared with humau blood. Avery severe cross-examination left the witness’ evidence unshaken. He showed that the oorpuicles or globules of human blood cau be easily distinguished by an ex pert from those of any other animal, those found in the human blood being each about 1-3,200 of an inob in diameter, those of a sheep being about 1-7,000 of an inch; of a dog, 1-3,542, etc. A verdict of guilty was found aud the man executed. Another proof of the wonderful detective powers of the microscope was given at the Chelmsford spring assize*. This was also a case of murder, tbe victim being an old woman living alone and baring a consider able amount of money in her bed-chamber. The ba k of her head was beaten in, no doubt by means of a large hammer, and the head nearly severed from the body. The footsteps around the house coincided with tho imprints of tho prisoner’s boots; tbe hammer found beside the murdered woman’s bed was declared by a neighbor to have been seen in his po session; a little girl had seen him come from tbs house on the morning of the murder, and—most conclu sive proof of all—in a brook a mile or more from tbe old woman’s house was found a pocket handkerchief, and'tightly rolled In it a razor covered with blood, which it was proved belonged to the prisoner. The defense argued: Assuming the razor and handkerchief belonged to the prisoner, and that the blood upon them was human, they may have had nothing to do with this murder, having been found a considerable distance from the murdered woman’s house. The microscope answered the question in the most conclusive manner. Upon the blade of the razor, beside the blood marks, were found a few fibers of flax and cotton. On inspecting the murdered body it was found that the razor had partially severed one of the strings of the woman’s nightcap, whioh string was oomposed of a mixture of cottou and flax. Another remarkable illustration may be given of the important part played by the mioroao ipo in securing the conviction of a murderess. Not many years ago a female child, about 9 years of age, was found mur dered by a deep gash in the throat in a small plantation near Norwich. Suspicion fell upon the mother, who had been seen by several persons leading the child toward the place where the crime bad been committed. Upon the woman being searched a long and sharp knife was found, which, on close exar. inatiOD, revealed a bit of fur or hair on the handle. When asked to explain how the fur came there the prisoner brazenly replied: “Yes, I dare say there is, and very likely some stains of blood, for ail came home I found a rabbit fast in a snare, and cut his throat with the knife.” The truth-telling mioroscope cast a differ ent light on the subject. The inioroscoput, on separating the handle from the blade, found between the two a quantity of human blood, and asserted that tbe fur was that of n squirrel. The strange fact was revealed that around the child’s neck, when the mur der was being done, was a tippet over which tbe murderer’s knife must have passed, and which was made of squirrel’s fur. Tbe innocent, howov9r, have also reason to bless the microsoope. A few years ago a man was on the point of being sentenced to death, the principal evidence against him being that ho was seen near the scene of the murder, and had in his possession a knife "covered with blood.” The microscope dis covered the so-called blood bo be sfuiply lime juice. Instances of the condemned who have sur vived the hangman’s rope are by no means rare. Not many years ago a man was pub licly hanged in Englaud three separate time3, and, either through detects in the scaffold machinery or the hangman’s bung ling, eleaped death after all, Pe pie pre tended to see in this a visible interposition of provideo ee to save tho man’s life. And, for all that is known to the contrary, did so in terfere, for a woman has since confessed cn her death-b and to having commited the crime, and the unfortunate man has conse quently been released from jail and nre lented by the British government with $25,- 000 and a farm in South Africa, tbe only condition of his release being that be changed his name and nover disclosed his identity. Mrs. Morton (angrily)—“Tommy Horton what made you hit my little Jimmy?” Tommy Horton —"He struck me wid a brick.” Mrs. Morton (more angrily)— “Well, never let me hear of your hitting him again. If he hits you, you come and tell me.” Tommy Horton (sneerlngly) “Yes, aud what would you do?” Mrs Mor ton —“Why, I'd whip him!” Tommy Hor ton (in dugust)—"What! he hits me wid a brick, and you have the fun of liokin’ him for it? Not much!” — Fuck. ——————————————— MEDICAL Deaf~from Catarrh I was the victim of the worst case of Catarrh that 1 ever heard of. I was entirely deaf in one ear, and all the in side of my nose, including part of the bone sloughed off.
