The Land of Flowers.
Mr. Editor:—Perhaps a few lines from
i lower Florida would not be without in-
Iterest to some of your readers, who
pave friends here, and who have never
[visited this portion of the country;
tvhicli has been almost unknown to us
until within the last few years. Even
kt this distance from home the change
Is very perceptible, from the broken,
pilly, red, cotton lands of that section,
*o the level, white sand and turpentine
lelds of south Georgia and northern
simply ridiculous ; for a fool, and him
drunk, knows that we need everything
else except those two articles. If we
don t get more sense than our Congress
has shown since the war we would
starve and freeze our wives and child
ren to death ; for they have not looked
after any interests save those of the
big and strong, and of themselves—or.
at^least, they have given no protection
to any except this class since the war,
and they have given it at the expense
of the poor. Xow. if we all get drunk
on this cheap liquor, and sick on this
cheap tobacco, we will, I fear, do like
our Congress—we will forget those at
home, and let them freeze or perish.
I want Congress to give us poor labor-
'lorida; thence to the gray sand, orange i «rs some of the home protection that
roves and tropical verdure of southern
■lorida—the country improving after
[eaving Palatka ; some of the towns,
With their street railroads, etc., putting
on quite a city-like appearance. This
they have been giving (or, rather, tak
ing} to themselves ever since the war,
which is to exempt us from taxation
and pay us interest on all that we have
twice a year; and when we all get rich,
point claims to be about 200 feet above Uke they are, we will give them cheaj
per cent, of water and about 50 per
cent, of cellulose—a substance resem
bling starch or grape sugar. The
agents which especially distinguish it
are caffeine and coffeone. The former
belongs to that group of chemical
agents called alkaloids. Coffeone is a
volatile oil, the result of an essential
change in coffee, produced by roasting.
To this subtile and fugitive principle
the aroma of coffee is due, and in roast
ing this oil permeates the entire grain;
but if the heat be too great, or contin
ued too long, it is dissipated and lost.
Experiments show that caffeine and
coffeone have different effects on the
animal body, the caffeine acting as a
transient stimulant, while the coffeone
is more prolonged in its effects and ex
ercises a sedative or tranquilizing ac
tion. But in drinking an ordinary cup
of coffee two actions are obtained,
stimulation preceding for fifteen min
utes the stage of sedation or repose.”

the level of the Atlantic, which is 80
miles to the east. The Gulf of Mexico is
40 miles to the west, and the climate is
I’ particularly adapted to the healt h and
„ restoration of those affected with pul
monary complaints. Contrary to my
expectations, so far, I have seen none
of the sallowness attendant upon ma
larial districts, but every appearance of
ruddy health. I am told that fires are
necessary but for a few days during the
t winter, a pleasant breeze tempering
the heat through summer, while <he
nights are always cool and refreshing.
4t is difficult for one to realize what
^Season of the year it is here, with straw
berries, tomatoes, beans, etc., on the
table. This, graced with a venison
roast or steak, would surely please the
^ taste of the most fastidious. We miss
the fresh butter and milk of home—
"’either it is too warm, the range is not
<j| sufficient, are the “cows haven’t come
H home”; which it is, I cannot say.
The absence of fences and the innu-
^ merable stumps remind a visitor that
H the country is new, but in going about
one is constantly coming upon hand-
f some modern dwellings, apparently
built in the woods anywhere; yet you
are sure to see not far off either a young
or an old orange grove, from five to
twelve acres in extent, some of the
trees having been set out the present
winter, while others are from twenty-
five to thirty years old. I was shown a
tree twenty-five years old, that the own
er told me had borne eight thousand
oranges in one year, which were sold
on the tree for $7.50 per thousand. One
can readily see that it is worth having.
In other words,it yielded $00 clear profit.
. Something more than cotton or grain
on the same space of ground. The trees
at this age require but little cultivation.
But the orange is not the only produc
tion of the citron family found. Lemons,
shaddocks, grape fruit, pomegranates,
guavas, and other varieties brighten the
dark-green, glossy foliage with their
golden coats, while the same trees are
% redolent with the odors of the pure,
white fragrant blooms.
Unimproved lands about here have
sold from twenty to one hundred dol
lars per acre, while improved lauds
with bearing groves are worth from five
. hundred to two thousand dollars per
, acre, according to the age and number
i of the trees. Many of the Northern and
Southern States have representatives
here who have made investments. New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut, IoWn,
I Nebraska, Kansas, Arizona, Missouri,
North and South Carolina, Alabama,
and even England, Scotland and Ire
's- land have representatives in this imme-
Hl diate section. It is no little labor to
clear the lands of the immense pines
nd prepare it for the groves, but when
once started they grow off, and are
pleasant to the looker-on and a satis
faction to the owner.
The first impressions of the people
,re pleasant. You find them social,
^pleasant and hospitable—sharing their
fruits and flowers with you in lavish
ibuudance.

liquor and tobacco if they want it. But
we must call jneetingsand let our Con
gress know that we all indorse Pres
ident Cleveland’s message on the tariff
—only some of us are more so. We
would like to try “free trade,” or any
thing that would place us in a condi
tion to make an honest living by hard
work, which we can’t do now. A\ e
wan’t to try some experiments. One
is this : As the owners of our mines
and manufactories have had the bene
fits of home protection for more than
a quarter of a century, and we have
been taxed to support them and
the Government, too, T, for one, want
the Government to give us poor farm
ers home protection, by compelling ev
ery dollar owned by the bondholders
and monopolists to pay its pro rata
share of the expenses of the Govern
ment that protects it. There is only one
way to do this and that is to give free
trade to every nation that will give us
similar advantages, and no trade to
those that will not. Give us a direct
ad valorem tax on all the property in
the United States. This, and this
alone is just; this, and this alone, will
preserve our constitutional liberty and
save millions of lives: for it was the
tariff that caused the revolution of
177(5; and it was the stamp act that
caused the war of 1812 ; and it was the
tariff that caused nullification in 1833;
and it was the tariff that was the prime
cause of the war of 18(51. It will be the
cause of the next war on this continent,
and it is this that is causing all the
trouble in the European world now.
1 can show how all these wars may be
settled—just like Solomon made peace
with the world in bis day. If we had a
majority in both Houses of Congress,
with such a man as President Cleve
land to back them, we would lay the
foundation of a temple for the lovers
of free government to meet in that
would make peace on earth, good will
towards all men. C. T. J.

£nds by crying “free trade.” And

acle Joe Brown, Mr. Randall, Major

A Cup of Coffee.
Sacramento Bee.
“In searching for the origin of cof
fee,” said the professor, “authors have
agreed to assign its birth-place to
Ethiopia. When it was carried to
Arabia it soon became naturalized. In
searching for the earliest mention of it,
one writer, inspired with that rever
ence which has sought to find out all
things in the Sacred Book, assure* us
that coffee is mentioned in the history
of King David, where it was stated that
this was the potion which was offered
by the hand of fair Abigail to calm the
excited monarch. The proof urged in
favor of this Biblical claim is that the
drink offered was prepared from some
thing roasted.
“Whilst visiting Paris,” continued
the lecturer, “I was agreeably surpris
ed to find in a museum a portion of the
original coffee shrub which was brought
to France. Probably no more precious
sample of this berry exists in the world.
Coffee, at the time of its first introduc
tion into use, was very valuable, selling
for from $20 to $25 a pound. Such a
price led to its general cultivition, and
soon, instead of it being the monopoly
of Arabia, whence it was first derived,
it was grown in the East and West In
dies, Bengal and South America, and
large amounts of it are grown in Java,
Ceylon, Mexico. Guatamela, Costo Rica,
and Brazil. The production of the lat-
ter country is the greatest, being about
4,500,000 quintals annually, one sack
generally holding about one quintal.
While coffee can only be cultivated in
a wmn climate, yet it cannot bear great
heat. The seed is first planted in a cool
shaded nursery, the infant plant being
scrupulously screened from the rays of
the sun. It is next transplanted to the
fields destined to its growth and it is
there carefully cultivated for nearly five
years before the product is sufficient
ly abundant to be remunerative. The
shrub usually reaches a height of from
twelve to fifteen feet, and is well cov
ered with leaves of a dark, glossy green.
Small flowers of snow-white color spring
from the stem at the foot of the leaf.
When in full bloom the appearance is
exceedingly charming. The flowers
are soon transformed into round, green
berries, which, ripening, present the
appearance of red cherries. From two
to three crops of mature berries may
be gathered annually. The work of
preparing the berries for market is
done partly by hand and partly by ma
chinery. Each berry should have two
grains on it, yet sometimes but one is
found, and this one is especially prized
and commands the highest price. The
pulp of the berry is sweet to the taste.
“A chemical analysis of coffee, after
being burned, shows that it contains 20
Making Vaccine Virus.
New York Tribune.
Few persons who pass the old two-
story brick building, No. 91G Second
avenue, which has a decayed wooden
awning in front of it and bears the sign
“Steam Carpet Cleaning,” are aware
that it shelters the Board of Health’s
vaccine virus “farm.” The first floor
of the building recently was converted
into a stable for cattle that are kept
there to undergo vaccination. A clean
er, warmer and better ventilated stable
probably cannot be found in the city.
Sixteen fat cows and Texas steers stood
in the stables the other day when a
Tribune reporter entered the place.
Dr. Pardee, the virus expert, was at
work in his laboratory, in the back end
of the stable, while two assistants were
looking after the cattle. Dr. Pardee’s
den is lavishly decorated with colored
prints, and is occupied in his absence
by a white cat. On the shelves are
glass jars containing goose-quills and
points of virus. A big table upon which
calves were formerly strapped while
undergoing treatment, occupies a part
of the room, and there is a small grind
stone used for roughening the quills
which are to receive the virus.
The manufacture of bovine virus for
the protection of human beings against
small-pox has been going on under the
eye of Dr. Pardee for a dozen years or
more. Formerly he operated on calves,
but lately be became convinced that
better virus could be obtained from
large cattle and the Health Board de
cided to give him a new “farm.” By a
clever arrangement of movable bars in
the stalls a cow or steer is prevented
from kicking while being vaccinated in
a dozen or twenty different places. The
operation most annoying to the animal
comes later, when the virus is being
transferred from it to the quill points.
It is necessary for the Board of Health
to buy the cattle outright, feed them
Well while undergoing treatment, and
for some time afterward, and finally
sell them to butchers at a loss.
The outlay for rent, feed salaries, cost
of material and losses in cattle trading
amounts to about $10,000 a year. Part
of the money comes back through the
sale of virus. Last year the depart
ment received $2,339 for virus sold to
druggists and physicians. Probably
money could be made out of the “farm”
if the Health Boa rtf charged a fair
price for all the virus it could dispose
of, but the sanitary officials are mainly
interested in stopping small-pox. Last
year nearly 90,000 persons in the city
free of charge by the sanitary inspec
tors and enough vaccine virus to vac
cinate 30,000 more persons was given
away to public institutions. As drug
gists are charged 25 cents for a single
“point,” the gratuitous Health Board
vaccinations on that basis might be
said to be worth nearly $30,000.
‘‘The recent change from calves to
large cattle in the virus ‘farm’ has been
attended with surprisingly good re
sults,” said President Bayles, of the
Health Board. “One inspector recent
ly vaccinated sixty-five children in a
public institution with new virns, and
vaccination ‘took’ in every case. For
merly there were frequent failures, and
many children had to be vaccinated a
second time. The new virus is believed
to be as pure as any ever obtained. We
have had no complaints about it, so far
as I have heard. It is alleged that dis
eases nay be communicated to children
by humanized virus, but there is no
danger in using bovine virus, when the
virus is taken from sound cattle.”
At present the virus ‘farm’ turns out
about 5,000 “points” a week.
