Wreckers Foiled. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 17.—As Spec- | ial Officer Clancey of the East St. | Louis police force was walking out | the Ohio and Mississippi track, about 8 o'clock this evening, he discovered at the crossing of that road with the | ! Belt line, which encircles the eastern | part of that city, that two coupling | pins had been driven into the frog evidently with the ecking the traiz The outgomg pass RICKLY jcy .

The pine and cypress are very durable woods and are excellent for many purposes of building and manufacture. The raising of oranges and lemons is of course the principal business of the state, and it is through this princi- pally that she is known to the com- mercial world. A good many pineapples are raised, and some cocoanuts are shipped from the south- ern part of the state. As for the alligators, I don’t know what they are worth. Their hides are quite extensive y used for foot gear, purses, book covers and the various purposes to which leather is put. Alligator teeth are gathered by thousands and used for ornaments of various sorts. Finely polished and mounted in gold they make very beautiful articles of adornment. The alligator constitutes 2 very numerous portion of the pop- ulation. Going down any river one can see thousands of them of all sizes froma few inches to fourteen or sixteen feet in length. “Speaking of these stupid monsters there is a curious sight which pre- sents itself occasionally to the travel- er.” Mr. Currier here gave his listner a look which implied that a large amount of credulity was neces- sary at this point of the narration. “You know they lie lazily along the shores in the sun, very often with their mouths open. Well, there is a little bird which flies down, hops into a wide open mouth and walks around picking the creature’s teeth. The bird is the most convenient toothpick Tever happened to see. It is one of those remarkable adjustments of nature which Darwin took such pleasure in discovering. I suppose these birds pursue their interesting avocations all the year round. The snakes and the alligators also are probably to be found in their usual business from one end of the year to the other. But the people do most of their business in the winter. It is during the months of January and February that the state is the live- liest. Then the northern travelers and business men are there, and with the sick people who go to Florida for their health, bring a great deal of money into the state. “The principal business of resident Floridans seems to be to furnish entertainment for visitors. ‘Living off sick Yankees’ is a very common remark among them. “The towns are mainly made up of hotels, and the country is practically dead, except when the influx of northern visitors comes. I suppose half of the population of the state in the winter is made up of the transient sojourners, who are there for pleas- ure, health or business.” For Rickets, Marasmus, and Wast- ing Disorders of Children.

Read the tollowing: “I have used Scott’s Emulsion in cases of Ricx- ets and Marasmus of long standing, and have been more than pleased with the results, as in every case the improvement was marked.””—J.

I don’t prac- tically see any limit to the attainment of speed except the courage of the driver.” Mr. Field has about completed the machine. A description does it no sort of eredit, and the public should see it to appreciate it. There is no sort of doubt but that the machine will go, and that it can be steered and con- troled. From the wayside brook the water tank can be filled, and from the coal locker the fires of the boiler. Mr. Field thinks that the machine can goa mile a minute. He will have the hind wheels drilled and corrugated for teeth, provided there is not friction enough; but he says he has no fear about the friction.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

We learn from G. W. Stovey, a wealthy farmer who lives in the southern portion of this county, that he had struck a vein of ore while digging a well on his farm, that he is quite certain is silver. The well is situated on his farm about one and a half miles southeast of the White Sulphur Springs, and is nearly forty feet deep. The vein of ore was struck at the depth of about 36 or 37 feet, andis about two feet in thickness. Some time ago it was thought that ore containing copper and silver was found in that portion of the county, and now Mr. Stovey is quite certain of being the possessor of a silver mine. He brought some of the ore to this city with him. and handed it to He Mr. H. A. Frasch for an assay. also sent some to the Rolla (Mo.) School of Mines for analysis, and ex- pects to receive a good return.— Henry Co. Demcerat.
