It was a grandly glorious, balmy Kay in July of a past summer. Tlicro iras not a cloud iu tlio cxpauso of jloar, deep blue sky, nnd Ibo cartb Hat batbed in a flood of golden sun thine, dispensing a gonial warmth ro lultant from tbe geutlo ft-ocze pre railing from tbo southeast, tbo chill inparted by tbo great ocenn on tbo loutb tberoto, dispelled by tbo sweep ver Long Island's sea girt lowland ind mouotonona forest ou ibo Hound boundary. Tbo sunoy littlo Olga swung on her jhnin iu tbo flood tide, tugging at it s if sbo would bo free, and dancing n tho wavelets swinging her boom 4tid rattling tbo riggiug. Tbe absent flng indicated that the wuer was ashore, and tbero was no visi ble indication that any one remained Aboard. In tbo seel union of tbo cabin, teposing on soft cushions of tbo couch, .ay a guest, reodiiig "Trilby," which liept him nwuke, or ho migbt have yielded to tbo soothing influences oud alien asloep, funned by tbo brcczo down tho companion wny ; as all tbe others wero ashore nt t ho pretentious hotel, in view of tbo open cabin door. He was disturbed in tbo perusal of Du Manner's fascinating novel by tho merry voices of a party of girls on some rocks on tho shoro near by. There was a party of young Indies from tbo hotel rambling ou the rocks, long tho terror of yachts dining into tho cove. Satisfying themselves Hint there was no one aboard, theso merry g'rls bad decided to remove their shoes and stocking and pnddlo iu tbo cool, clour wster, with a frequi-ut eye for tho re turn of the yacht's bont nnd crew, when they would scamper back into the copso and scrub oak and resume their footgear, gleeful to escape un discovered. Tho girls enjoyed themselves grcnt ly, until tho yacht's boat wan discov ered putting out from tho long dock of tho hotel, and then they hastily gathered up their shoes and stockings and retreated like culprits into tho bushes, where they remained iu hill ing for a reason that will nppeur, in stead of hurrying back t tbo hotel. "Had a nap, or finished 'Trilby' ? " Charley asked, hurrying ou deck with tho pniuter in hind, whilo his man hoisted tho ensign in placj of the ab sent Aug. "No m neither," Jack reppond cd, going up into tho cockpit ; contin uing, "Any news?" "There will bo a danco nt tbo hotel tonight," said Charley, adding," and wo will all go over. What say you. ?" "With pleasure," respoudod J.iek, with a glance toward tbo lockf.wbieh, of course, diil not have any signifi cance to Charley, wLj busied himself about the housekeeping details of tho yaoii.. "I thiuk n littlo exercise will put, mo up," suddenly exclaimed Jack pull ing iu tho small boat, into which he jumped, and placing tho oars, ho started toward tho rocks ou a voyage of discovery bent. "Lookout for those rocks!" ex claimed Charley, adding, "Tlu-y rise liko sholves and you'll be onto them beforo you know." "I know 'em," called Jack, as tho boat under his vigorom pulls shot toward the shore. Ho carefully picked bis way into a safe lauil.n; place, and, jump ing out, ho eecurcd tbo painter to a largo loose stone, and started into tho underbrush, w ilhout discovering a trnoo of tho girls, as tbe soft white 6oud retainod tho impression of (heir steps no longer thnu water would Lure done. Tbo girls wi re fleeing down tho road, in the shelter of n corn field, in great nppiehcnsion of discovery and pursuit by tho yachts men, who aro notoriously bold an. I sailor like, always alert for adventure. They sought the seclusion of n-i old weather-beaten, abandoned fisherman's shanty, where the-y remained iu bid ing, their dear hearts healing ns if to burst oil bound in exeitomout over tho adventure, so entirely unpremedi tated. Juck, however, bad no idea of in truding on them, and consequently did not follow tho girls, or ho nonld certainly have been amused at tbe pre dicament of one of tbero, and Lave gladly availed himself of tho opportu nity to rendor her gallnnt service. Returning to tho rocks, ho paused to view tbo magnificent panorama of shore, wood, water and field, embel lished by browsing cattle, handsomo cottages end sailing craft, with now and theu a resounding etenmboat ou the Sound, when he wns recalled from his reverie by the stentorian voice of Charley.shoutiug ; "Shipahoy! Como aboard!" His glanco lowered to tho water line, bo discovered in a shei'-liko crcvico of tho rocks a pair of small, neat russot pumps, which undoubted ly had been loft by their fair owner iu bor flight ou tbo approach of the boat. His first impulse, was to capture as a trophy this pair of pumps, nnd then that ho would mark them for tho pur pobo of futuro identification. Ho divinod ho would never discover the fair owner by taking them to tbo hotel and enacting a Cinderella-like comedy of having them tried ou by nil tho girls until ho found tho right oiie.aud decided to murk them, nud for this purpose bo took them to tbo yacht, whero ho interested his comrades by telling tho story. . It chanced that tho sailing mnstcr was somewhat of a chemist, a Nor wegian of good cducatiou, and of the several plans, suggested for identifying the shoes, his was adopted. He suggested that n daub of phos phorus bo made on tho rear of each hoel, which would not attract atten tion in tho daylight but which would be luminous at night. Shrewder than tho rest of us, ho suggested that tho shoes be returned to the rocks, to bo found tbero by tho fair owner, who would undoubtedly return for them if wo went nway ou a sail. Wo all agreed fh-j would never claim tho shoes if we loft them at the hotel desk to bo re stored to the owner. In a few minutes tho mainsail was hoisted, nnd the jib flung out anil the Olgn glided away like n bird before a good breeze I but put her starboard bow ill tho water. I took n station on tho after deck, glass iu hand, nnd watched tho shore, nud particularly tho rucks. Sure enough, as soon us t ho O'gu left thu scene and tho coast was literally clear, I espied a bevy of girls emerge from tho cornfield nnd hasten along tho shoro to tho rocks to recover the miss ing shoes. Iu tho group I could not discern which one appropriated them, as they kept well togothor for mutual protection, but I could hear their merry shouts of success. After a spin on tho Sound tho Olga was once again anchored oil' tho rocks, out of the chauuel, n littlo bit calm .d it seemed to me, by her sailing, but still restive as if anxious to be off again. To me nyacbt ofteu seems to bo imbued with tho animation and niituro of a bird, liko a living thing, rest U'B, ambitious, chafing uudor tho restraint of the chain, liko a mettled steed in his stall waiting to bo out. Tbe day wore nw.iy all too slowly for us, pleasant as was tho scene and weather, as all shared my curiosity to discover tho uiv.nr of thoso two small shapely pump". What if she did not wear them nt the hop? Perish tbo thought, fur tho summer girl always wears her cosey comfortable russets. Wo went ashoro after a delightful littlo dinner ou deck, that is, iu Ibo cockpit under the nwuing. It seemed that the shades of night would never fall over the earth and envelop all in tho darkness iioeef-aary for tho suc cess of our discovery. Tho sun, n large, red, fiery orb, never sank so slowly, lis iridescent rays never lingered longer iu tin horizon. Tbero was an illuminating glow in the pink Hutu! ami puiplo sky lunger tlun usual. I don't beiit vo that tho hotel malinger ever indulged before in such a general lighting of his lumps nud swaying I'ninet-o lanterns. Itut finally it was dark, a fact pro claimed by the locusts nnd the frogs nud tho katydids, and there was a gen eral assembling of jiromcna lers ou thcgtnid pinz'.i, preparatory to tho dance iu the dining room, that wns be ing actively cleared by tho colored servants of its tables and chairs, after a hasty d nucr. Prttty girls in charming white and colored linen attire, of the most fetch ing designs, trooped down the broad central stairs or across tho spacious lawn from tin colt iges, as gleosomo and noisy as mere children. Oh I this joyuusliess of innocent, unvexed youth ! Although nil of us wero on tho qui vive, the cio'.vd was ho close that for a longtime, ami an anxious time, (hero wan no b tico for a revelation of thu tell tnlo phosphorus. Hut persever ance is always rewarded, nud ours wns niter tlio dancing began, nud tho only I ones on tho puiiza wero promcnu lers who enmo out botween tho numbers for a breathing spell of tho cool night air. One of tho prettiest littlo blondes I had then ever seen well, now I think tho prettiest in tho world was dis covered by our trick to bo tho owner of thoso russets, which I am sure wero as small, if not smaller thau Cinder ella's. Such pretty littlo shoes could only belong to a perfect onus, with her roguish blue eyes, flowing golden tresses, sweet musical month, saucy dignity nnd girlish grace. Of courso Jack sought an introduc tion, bnt, of course, ho did not tell bor his secret until -well until ho wus nccoptod by her later iu tho fall. They aro married now, and tho shoes aro preserved in a glass case iu his bureau, which bears the significant but inappropriate inscription, "A iu Trilby." Vanity. The Kublur Tree. Thoso fomiliur with tho southern portion of Florida aro awaro of ibo fact that the rubber tree is indigenous here, oud grows in great profusion ou both coasts south of a lino drawn west from New Smyrna. Many largo trees grow on tho east coast.lhore being two well known mounrehs,ouo at Dr. Witt field's place, about six miles south of ltockledge, and another on Will Lane hurl's pl.c, nt Lako Worth. To tho native, countless numbers of immeuso rubber trees are known, but ns their usefulness has not yet developed here, they aro very littlo noticed. Ou the west coast tho trees aro ahoiindnntly prominent, nnd aro an open bid for tho puoplo of our state to investigato their value. At this time, when the people aro looking for new avenues in natural products of the soil to replace tho orange culture, it would bo reasonable to suppose that they would utilizj tbo wild rubber tree. On any of tho keys along tho coast one could find a rubber planta tion or i slate ut nu advanced stage of growth. , At Anna Maria Key, at the entrance to the harbor, colonel John R. Jones has a plnco upon which is ono of theso trees, wilh live scparato trunks, simi lar to n banyan tree. Tho largest trunk is eleven feet in circumference ; tho others measure twenty-eight, twenty-seven, and eighteen nnd fif teen inches, respectively. When tho tops of these trees become too spread ing, they send down a sucker, which takes root and assists iu tho support of tho briiiiehce. Such a treo as men tioned above covers a lurgo area, nnd would afford n good revenue, wero iti great flow of nap utilized. Colonel Jones, on April 11 lust, planted a littlo rubber nursling, eigh teen inches iu height. On February 11, lS'.IC, that tree stood fivo feet ten inches high, showing with what rapid ity they grow in their wild state, with out any cultivation. Florida Citizen. The Size of The Sun. The sun, provided vo mensuro only the disk seen with tho sniokod glass, is HliG.OOO miles in diameter, i. c, 108 earths could be comfortably ranged side by side across tho disk. To cover the surface would require many thou sands. To fill the interior we should need 1,300,000. On n smaller sculo wo might represent thu sun by a bull two feet iu diameter and tho earth by a good-sized grain of shot. Let the sun bo hollowed out, then plnco tho earth at its centre, and let the moon revolve about it at its real distance of two hundred nud forty thousand miles. There would yet remain nearly two hundred thousand miles of space be tween tho mooii's orbit and tho in closing shell of the sun. Indeed, to j iiirney from ono side of the suu to tho other, through the centre, would tnko ouo of our swift express trains nearly two yc.irs and a half. So vast a globj mii.it bo heavy. Since is density is only onc-qunrter that of tho earth, it only weighs as much us threo hundred and thirty-two thousand earths, or two octillions of tom! Tho attraction of gravity ou its surfneo would cause a mini whoso weight wns ono ' hundred and fifty pounds to weigh two tons. Ladies' Homo Jour nal. Hi i ils That Stolo a Xest.

Figures Which Show the Won derful Progress of the Wheel. During tho last few years tho bicy cle industry in tho United States, which formerly represented but a smull outlay of cnpital, has increased so ropidly iu the number of manufac turing plants established as to make a study of its growth extremely inter esting. To satisfy tho present demand for wheels, there lire no less thnu zoO of theso plants iu tho Uuited Slates, to sny nothing of the vnst number of wholesale and retail establishments engaged exclusively iu tho bicycle trade. Fxact figures caunot bo obtained, but nccording to tho best information, there will bo no less than 1,000,000 bicycles manufactured in tho Uuited States this year. A western firm will turn out be tween 00,000 and "."i.OOO machines, nfter eighteen different models. Other largo firms expect to produce from 40,000 to 50,(100. For several years a largo number of bicycles have been purchased iu thu foreign market, chiefly from the largo establishments of Grout li, ittiiu. Within tho last few months, however, one of theso English firms has decided to nbaudon tho American field, and others will doubtless follow soon. This, of course, will stimulito our own production and result iu tbo es tablishment of other largo plants. To bhow tho importance which this in dustry has acquired, one of tho lead ing firms of tho country employs 2,700 men the whole year mound. This firm expects to pro, luce 00,000 machines this year. Another firm, which expects to turn out So, 000 whocls this year, employs 1,100 meu. Iu order to produce 1,000,000 bicy cles, tho number o.-tiuinted for tho present year, no less thnu 00,000 men, working steadily for twelve months, wilKbo employed by thobO various p hints. Soino bicycle firms, however, do not make their own tires, tubing ur pedals, nnd theso supplies arc fur nished by other firms which exist merely for tho purpose of satisfying this demand. Perhaps as many ns 50,000 men aro employed iu this brnnch of tho industry. A slight idea of tho number of bi cycles iu active use can bo found from the number of cyclometers sold Inst year by ono firm alone. These sales reached the enormous total of i!G:S, 427, nud yet thero are thousnuds of riders who do not use these cyclometer.-. In New York city alone there are said to bo 200,000 bicycles iu nc tivo use, while the total number throughout tho country is put at somewhere iu the neighborhood of 4.,"00,000. Only a rough estimate can be mndo of tho enormous capital invested in the manufacture of bicycles. There arc ouo or two companies capitalized at $5,000,000, while tho total amount invested is but li. tie short uf 3-10,000,-000. Ton years ago tlio iudustjy whs represented by only a small fractional part of this sum. Most of these plants aro scattered nbout ovor tho Northern and Middlo states, tho greater 'number of them, perhaps, located iu New Kiigluud. Hero is a splendid opening for tho South. Already there aro ono or two plauts iu this section, but thero is room for others. Tho trade of tho Southern Slates is something enor mous and thero should bo enough plauts in this part uf the country to sntisfy this demand. Verily tho progress of tho bicycle has been wonderful. Atluuti Consti tution. How Hindoos Hoard Jewelry. Never during its existence bus India been so rich in jewelry as now. Tho people lire always adding to their stock. Savings from nearly nil sources ore disposed of ill this way, mid these savings aro being constantly made often nt the rxpenseof clothing, some times nt tho ixpens'i of greater neces saries uf life. Tlio making nnd the storing uw.iy uf wealth in Ibis form is tho n itional peculiarity uf the coun try. Jewelry is regarded ns the most slablo kind uf wealth, nud fortunes me never counted without estimating tho value uf tho stock of jewelry. It can always bo pledged or disposed of. The market for its sale is never closed nud never depressed. Tho most ignor ant unlive who wishes to sell a piece of jewelry knows its market value quite well. Ho onu scarcely be cheated - Jewelry forms tho greatest factor iu mutrimouy. The most lowly bride has her stridhun, which is occasion ally equal iu value to fivo years' in come of tho bridegroom. Thero is ofteu a scarcity of clothing, some times a scarcity of cooking potH, gen erally not a particle of furniture, but nearly always a stock of jewelry. Tbo wife that has no jewelry possesses nothing else ; she cannot bo robbed. Tho family that does not huve jewelry is absolutely indigent. One of tho greatest boasts of tho jewelry owner is that his hoards con not bo tinted. A man may own jewelry valued nt n lakh of rupees, and pay no income tax. This is a source of great satisfaction. Jewelry yields no re curring income, but it is prized more thnu government paper. If it never increases it never diminishes, is a na tional saying, common among men nnd women alike. No native mar riage, except among the most impov erished, takes place without n transfer of jewelry, nn I very frequently of new jewelry. Tit Dits. The Fake Philanthropist. "I visited a small town iu Alabama a few days ago, where they wero anx iously looking for a philanthropist who went there for tbe purpose of es tablishing a school," said T. R. Leffur, a New York traveling man, at the Riggs. "The man, w ho wuie a cleri cal suit of clothes, represented that he was agent for nu educational fund, similar to that left by I'enbody, and bad heard that the people uf the town were without proper school facilities. Il would cost $",000 to erect a building, of which he would donate one-half. Then, was no bank there, so he deposited bis share iu a Bir mingham bunk and held several mass meetings to raise the balance. Tho citizens became very enthusiastic, and within a mouth the money was raised and turned over to him to add to tho liind iu the bank. Then ho went to obtnin plans foi- a building, being ac companied by two of the best citizens, who went with him to the bank and saw him deposit the money. An ar chitect was employed, mid the citi zens returned, leaving tho philnhthrn pis' to complete arrangements.

A Short Life, But a Bothersome One to the Human Race. What a lot of huuiau misery flies are accountable for! They do somo good as senvangers, but that is far overbalanced by tho harm they do, apart from the discomfort they occa sion. There is no doubt that they enrry disease f rum one person to nnotber.nud so help to spread epidem ics. Fye complaints nro propagated by a certain small species of flies. A fly of this sort will alight ou uu individ ual with an eye trouble nud take some of the gorms off with him and deposit them on the next unfortunate person he settles upon. Flies also convoy in fection from sores. Mrs. Fly lays her eggs iu warm re fuse or iu decaying vegetable matter. The heat hatches these eggs and a lot of maggots are brought iuto tho world. After u few days they reach tho pupa stage, and from tho pupa emerge shortly ofterwords tho perfect winged flies. Thus theso pests are generally bred iu stables, which ac counts for most people's great objec tion to living near them. Wheu the young flios nro full ibulged they fly off mil enter nny doors mil windows which uro left incautiously open, and worry the inmates. Fib's ordinarily live about threo weeks. The first cold weather gener ally kills most of them, just enough living through tho winter to profli gate their species. A few of tho most sturdy uf tho females live through each winter and in tho spring Jay eggs before dying nn 1 m continue their kind. They remai'i torpid during tho cold neither 111 nooks nnd crannies, which accounts for tho fact that they do not bother tho human race except in summer. There me gi Hits and pigmies among flies, just as there nro in tho human race. Everybody has notic.'d bow much smaller Homo flies are than others. It is commonly supposed that ' these little uins nro the young, but J such is not tho cas'.'. A fly does not grow nt nil nfter it has reached tho ' winged stage.

Thero is a popular notion that flies j have suckers 011 their feet w hich en . able them to walk on tho walls and ceilings, llris, lilvo many other gen erally accepted theories, is not tho cas-. They huvj no suckers ou their feet at nil, but have a pair of little cushions and two hooks on the bottom j of ench foot. The cushions nro cov- j ered wilh lots of knobbed hairs nnd , kept moist by nn exuding fluid, thus , enabling tho fly to walk ou the ciling or window pane, the moist, hairy pads adhering to the smooth surface. They have six legs, which gives them a largo surface for sticking on to things.
