Except in the few twns and villages, the Indians very umed at will through the creat forests, hunting and fish- . clearing the land and raisin: weir crops, undisturbed by the Span- fards. In many respects the Indians wer o the real owners of the land. As wonld naturally be expectel rroubl. the Indians and their American neighbors on the rorth. For peace and safety, since Spain could not quiet these troubles, it was believed that the United arose between Florida. It was proposed that Spain should exchange Florida for a part o' Louisiana, next to Texas, but this pfan came to nothing. The Spanisa sovernment realizing that it would take a large army and heavy ex- penses to keep the Indians under con trol, signed a treaty on Feh. 22, IS14, by which Spain agreed to cede Florida to the United States for $6,- 00,600, he exchange of flags took plac» odudy 100 1821, at St. Augustine, and on July 17, at Pensacola.

For red ants in kitchen or pantry, it is recom- mended to scour the shelves weil with a hot solution of water and bo- rax, if the shelves can be taken out, dry in the sunshine; if not, wipe as d¢ry as possible, then let dry, an1 sprinkle thickly over them, and in the crevices or runways of the ants with powdered borax, black pepper, slacked Time, used freely A Any of these can be zood method is to find the nests and pour hoiling salt- od water into them, the flour of sulphur ahout where the ants run. Hanging saturated with coal oil wherever they ran, is also rccommended. Ants do not relish wintergreen. tansy, cayenne pepper, or lime dust.
