Thecause of this gift in her will wasthat while both of them, thenstrangers to each other, were inWasbington City in 1892, MissOwens saved the old ladyTs lifeby getting her out of the way ofan approaching street car thatwould have run over her.

Of this 250,000 boxes about200,000 will be marketed outsideof tue State. Withia about fouryears, if nothing occurs to givethe groves a setback, the orangeproduction will be as great as itwas before the freeze"about 5,-},000,000 boxes. {t is estimatedthat fully 10 per cent of thegroves injured by the frost wereabandoned, but many new groveshave been set out in that sectionof the Siate which was not notico-ably hurt by thefreeze. It wouldfot be at all turpnsing if tenyears hence Florida should beproducing 10,000,000 boxes ofOranges a year."Savanna Nows./Onaries Broadway Rouss afterone week's treatment by Dr.Guelph Norman, who camé fromTndia specially to cure Mr, Roussof blindness, is able to see dimlyat a distance of 16 inches.

Surgeon Major Semple;Assistant Professor ot Pathology atthe British Army Medical Schoo] atNetley, is using the serum at Maid-stone with encouraging results. Thevaccine is said to produce only someslight local soreness and a few hoursof discomfort.A serum for the actual cure of con-sumption is also heralded; but thisreport is neither so authentic in itssource nor so credible in itself. ANew York physician, it is asterted, hastreated six tuberculosis patients withProfessor MaraglianoTs serum withmarked improvement in each case.Even quick consumption is said tohave been checked.

Science has longsince proved that cyclones are due inlarge measure to the existence of vastdenuded tracts of Jand which offer noresistance to the stormTs career. Un-doubtedly it 18 also true that the yearlyoverflows of the Mississippi river aredue to some extent at least to the de-vastation which is steadily going onabout the sources of its tributarystreaurs. Some two or three weeksago the national irrigation Congress,which met at Lincoln, Neb,, adoptedresolutions calling attention to thevrgent need of etringent regulationsfor preserving our forest tracts. InEuropean countries tne deepest solici-tude is felt on the part of the govern-ment in the preservation of forest lands.Severe penalties are inflicted upon allwho are guilty of carelessness. in ex-posing forest lands to firs, and specialwardens are employed by the govern-nent to see that the forest laws arerigidly enforced. Something like thismust be resorted to in this country ifour vast forest areas are preserved, andthe national calamities which flow fromtheir heedless destruction are averted,The matter is one which demands theserious attention of our law-makers."Atlanta Constitutzon.The Democrats of North Caro-lina must be made to realize thatif they lose the State again nextyear and the Republicans carrythe country again in 1900, therewill be ten negro office holdersin this State where there is one synow.
