Sometimes It Is the One and Some
times the Other.
Among the strange things to be
met with in Florida is a section of
country which din turps with the
seasons nnd is alternately a prairie
and a lake. It is two miles south of
Gainesville, and at certain times
strangers wonder why it is called a
“prairie,” for they look out upon a
broad stretch of water so deep that
a storm churns its surface into roll
ing whitecapped billows. At times
the commerce of the lake is done
by steamer, while at other times
you can go over the same route in
a stage, from the wheels of which
clouds of dust roll.
On the edge of the prairie, half
walled in by rock and dense with
immense trees draped in long fes
toons of moss, is a pool of water
called “The Sink.” Its dypth has
never been sounded.
From it an underground river
flows and makes its way no' one
knows where. Some time an acre
of land, trees and all, will fall into
the underground river, and then the
drainage of the prairie becomes ob
structed and the prairie goes dry.
In a year or two the river will
sweep around the obstruction and
the prairie becomes wet.
There are a number of these
sinks in the neighborhood of
Gainesville, all of them as round as
a dollar and averaging from a quar
ter to a half acre in extent.
A little way north of Gainesville
is a pretty and mysterious spot
called the “Devil’s Millhopper.” A
large stream of water comes down
hill with considerable force and
disappears in a pool that has no
visible outlet.
Near Brooksville there is an
other pool very similar to the
Devil’s Millhopper. A stream of
water pours into it and is swal
lowed up in a whirlpool in the cen
ter. Throw a log in it and it will
be carried around the pool many
times, gradually drawing nearer to
the center. When it reaches the
center it suddenly disappears. The
people in the neighborhood do not
dare to go too near the Brooksville
pool, and it would be a vory bold
man who would launch a boat and
trust himself upon it.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

A Driller All Right.
An Irishman looking for work
took his stand in a group at the
gate of a large engineering estab
lishment. By and by the foreman
came un_to the grate and asked :
“Are*there any drillers here?”
“Yes,” said pat, stepping for
ward:
He got the job at once, but be
had not been working long at the,
machine when it broke down. The
fireman, in anything but a pleasant
mljod, then inquired:
“Where, man, did you ieavn drill- j
ing?”
f “In the militia ” was Pat’s reply.

Something Alivo.
An Irishman with one side of
his face badly swollen stepped into
Dr. Wicten’s office and inquired if
the dentist was in.
“I am the dentist,” said the doc
tor.
“Well, then, I want ye to see
what’s the matter wid me tooth.”
The'doetor examined the offend
ing molar and explained:
' “The nerve is dead; that’s what’s
the matter.” ,
“Thin, be the powers,” the Irish
man exclaimed, “the other teeth
must he .boldin’ a wake over it!”—

A HidcUn Warning.
It is recorded in history that
when Darius, king of Persia, invad
ed Scythia the ruler of the lattelf
country, Idanthuras, sent him a
message consisting of a mouse, a
frog, a bird, an arrow und a plow.
The wisest men of the army puz
zled over the meaning of it, which
was conjectured to be that the em
pire was surrendered. It was sup
posed that the mouse signified the
dwellings, the frog the waters, the
•bird the.air, the arrow the arms and
the plow the land. But it turned
out eventually that the interpreta
tion intended was that unless Da
rius and his soldiers could fly like
birds, burrow like mice or hQtaJje
themselves like frogs to the water
they would never escape the weap
ons of the Scythians arfd make their
way out of the country.
Cook Them Properly and They’ro Well
Worth the Buying.
Butchers should endeavor to cor
rect the impression of customers
that^only the high priced meats aro
valuable as fooil. On the contrary,
says the National I’rovisioncr, the
cheaper cuts are often more highly
flavored and fully as nutritious.
The chuck is one of the cheapest
portions of the beef, hut when
cooked slowly in a small amount of
water either with or without vege
tables for seasoning is a most excel
lent dish.
In stewing meat if too, high a
temperature is used it will toughen
the fiber. Another mistako is to
overcook the meat until it falls to
shreds. The skirt steak sells for
2 or 3 cents a pound less than
the others, but if properly cooked
is just as good. Lay the steak on a
meat board and Bcore it well with
a chopping knife.
Then dredge with flpur and put it
into a smoking hot frying pan that
has been greased enough to keep
the meat from sticking to it.
When well seared over on both
sides pour over it a little boiling
water and allow it to simmer slowly
for two hours. Season to suit the
taste. A bit of carrot or onion or
bay leaf and a little vinegar to
soften the fiber will add to the fla
vor of the meat.
All light meats are best stewed
and browned just before serving.
Mutton or beef is best browned first
and then stewed. Cheaper cuts are
best cooked in the tireless cooker.
Tha Wickedest Bit of 8aa.
Nine out of ten travelers would
tell inquirers that the rougest piece
of water is that cruel stretch in the
English channel, and nine out of
ten travelers would say what was
not true. As a matter of fact, “the
wickedest hit of sea,” says a ship
ping journal, is not in the Dover
strait or in yachting, for example,
from St. Jean de Luix up to Pauil-
lac or across the Mediterranean
“race” from Cadiz to Tangier, nor
is it in rounding Cape Horn, where
there is what sailors call a “true
sea.” The “wickedest sea” is en
countered in rounding the Cape of
Good Hope for the eastern ports of
Cape Colony.

able to tell the tale, hut such was,
the experience of one John Barten-
dalo, who was executed at York in
1G34 for felony. After his body
had hung for nearly an liojir it was
buried. A gentleman passing by
the grave, which had not been filled
up, thought he saw tho onrth move,
nnd with the help of his servant he
disinterred the convict, who was
still alive. It was the custom in
those days-to bury suicides and ex
ecuted criminals without any coffin.
Tho man was carefully treated and
entirely recovered. He became hos
tler at the coaching house in York
and lived a most exemplary life.
When nsked what ho could tell in
relation to hanging, as having ex
perienced it, he replied, “When I
was turned off flashes of fire seemed
to dart from my eyes, from which
I fell into a state of darkness and
insensibility.”—Medical Journal.!
Something She’d Say.

Tha Suaa Canal.
The Suez canal was begun'by
French engineers in 1858 and
dredging was begun by an English
constructor, Daniel Lange. In 186?
the water of the Mediterranean was
admitted int<va channel connecting
with Lake Timsah. In 1865, in
February, a vessel containing thirty
persons passed from sea to sea, and
on Aug. 15 the*; canal was in part
opened. The first ship from sea to
sea was the Primo, which made the
S assage on Feb. 17, 1867. The
lediterranean water on Mhrch 18.
1868, was admitted to the 84lt
lakes. The formal opening of the
canal was celebrated Nov. 23,1869.
The widening of the canal date*,
from the formal adoption of plans.

(A
Che.rle«» Palaces.
Palaces lacked what are now or
dinary comforts even in modern
times and especially for a period
prior to tho reign of Louis XIV. in
France. They were magnificently
decorated, hut the windows were
small and not well placed, and the
.rooms were filled with magnificent
but not particularly comfortable
furniture. Fires were seldom light
ed in tho immense, beautifully
sculptured marble fireplaces. Usual
ly the only fire was to he found in
the bedchamber at the end of a
suit of rooms. At Versailles in
1695, it is reported, the w r ater and
wine froze in the king’s glasses at

A nervous looking man walked
into a grocery with his baby on one
arm and a-kerosene enn on the
other, placed the can on the coun

to the dazed clerk, he added, “Fill
this thing up with kerosene.”—San
