Down In Florida. The St. John’s River is a queer riv- ,. r says a Florida correspondent. It 3 bout 150 miles long, from four to tru miles wide, and averages about a f , 0 t il< ep. In the centre, of course, be channel gets to be quite deep, iometimes it has a depth of forty feet. Its ciu-ent runs about a mile a day. I presume it would take about 150 days for a cork to float from the source of he St. John’s to its mouth. It is salt for fifty miles from its mouth, and brackish for 100 miles. It is full of -had, catfish, frogs, toads, eels, niiiga- ,irs, and cawl-fishes. I don’t know f any fish or reptile that don’t live in he St. John’s River. “Call this a river ?’’ I said to an old ligator killer who was fishidg for atfisli off the pier at Palatka. “Why, s a great bay. It’s no more a river an Lake Erie is. Lake Erie runs ;ter than the St. John’s River.’, “Thar you’s wrong agon, stranger. She’s ueitber a river nor a bay; she’s cow pasture. Don’t you see the ws standing all over the river?" That man was right. All the cows Florida seemed to congregate in rhe St. John's. There they stood in the water nil day long, slashing the musquit'WiP with their tails, while their beads are under water outing -i-.i.-'s. It is a strange thing, indeed, ; see droves of cattle feeding along a -r with their beads under the wa re They look like a lot of cattle •vithont heads. They will put even their horns and ears under when the grass lays deep, and keep them under •iumetimes two minutes. They got to as amphibious as the crocodile, A -almiarine cow pastille is an institn- >i i. enjoyed by the State of Florida. HcotliiK by Sunshine. Professor E. S. Morse, of the Essex Institute, has devised an ingenious arrangement for utilizing the heat in dm sun’s rays in warming our houses. His invention consists of a surface of blackened slato under glass fbod to the sunny side or sides of a bouse, with vents in the wnlls so arranged 'hat the cold air of the room is lot out •it the bottom of the slate, and forced in again at the top by the ascending heated column between the slate and the uliiss. The outdoor air can be .idimtled, also, if desirable. The tbiug ■s so simple and apparently self-evi- ■ buit that one only wonders that it iiasn't always beou used. Its entire ; . nr 1 icalness is demonstrated in the •lo tting of the professor’s study in his cottage at Saloin. The valuo of the improvement for daily warming build- ngs like churches and school houses, which, whon allowed to got cold be- •wuuu using, consume immense quali ties of heat before they are fairly '.vanned again, is oyidont. Of course some other means of boating must be available when the sun does not shine. Hut in the colder regions, say in the tar Northwest, the sun sliines a great er part of time, and hence the saving "t artificial heat would be very large ;! rue sun heat could be “turned on” tor eight or ten hours out of the twenty-funr. • A and, Rad Story* Spring styles Deraoreat'a Monthly for June. What a world of misery is told in the simple statement that a certain curt near Lawrence, Kansas, was oc cupied by a family, four in number, a father, a mother, and two children. The father was on bis way to jail, to serve a sentence of two years for rob bery, the children were going to a pour-house and the mother to a lnna- tio asylum. The poor creatures bad been unfortunate. The drought last summer ruined the father, who in his desperation to keep life in bis family committed robbery. He was arrested, tried and sentenced. The tension on the weakened frame of the poor moth er bereft her of reason, and so it hap pened that the same conveyance took |be fiit h« r to prison, the mother to an bwine asylum, and the children to an iihns-hotise. Thoy have what Guiteau would call :t “bigh-toned Judge down in New Orleans. Tho other day he sentenced il juror to twenty-four hours in tho parish prison for contempt of court In ’M'P'.nring without a necktie. Now Orleans jurors will probably hereafter models in the wav of fashionable attire. CLOTHING, SHOES! For men and women, boys and girls, children aud babies, CHEAP AS|DIRT. DJJNN , & CO.
