Now there is no picture of winter that looks more desolate than the groves along these railroad lines. Oi acres and acres of large, shapely trees not a green leaf is to be seen. They seem to be dead, utterly dead, and we noticed that in some plac«9 the trees had been cut down and burnea and the ground was being prepared for some- thinjf else. The little depots aeem deaerted. the packing houses olosed, tlie sawmills sijeni and tho whole country looked like Sunday. From all I could learn there is the same de»> latlon across all that portion of the state norl:h of Ocala. In tho Tampa region it is not so bad. Many gioves have escaped with gnly th® •mall branches killed. The trunks and larger Umbs will put out again, We watched mf daughter’s grove (she has one tree) with anx* ious interest. It was quite a large one that she purchased last fall and had transplanted to her front yard. It had over a thoWnd or anges on it^ but of course the top had to be all cut off and only tho trunk and the stumps of four branches were left. Since the last freeze that tree has put out numerous tiny shoots and bids fair to clothe itself with evergreen before tho summer has passed. When we reached Jacksonville we wer« ushered into the beautiful and spacious de pot that is. now finished and complete ia all it^ depariments. We had four hours there and were entertained In BtuUying tlje traveler:^ who come and go. As f walked around I observed a man and two ladies to take seati in the gentlemen’s waiting room, and as they seemed in a strange pla^'e I ventured to point OQt to them the ladies’ room that was more comfortable. The ladies seemed grateful for the information, but the dog of a man said, “Well, I gu-'s-? we can talie care of our- selyts.” His tone of voice made me mad, but I didn’t say anything, 'jhinks I to myself. I’ll tend to my own business after this, and vou may sit where you dogon please. Soon we boarded the sleeper for Atlanta by the Way- oroB'! and llfton route. There was a sorrowful looking man and woman nearbv us and a little tot of a child was with them.

(^rip is Ah'icaii Fever. Up two flights of stairs under th? roof of a double tenement house od Catharine street, lies S. John Kuno, African pioneer and missionary, sicl? with African fever. After a foui years’ experience of missionary work iinler the tropics, he has returned with the usual missionary reward—a consciousness of duties well per formed, a troublesome and ineradica ble diasease, and a large wad of pho tographs. 'I’lie African i’ev-.3r is really a cross l)et\veen malaria and infinenza. Your Iiead splits, you shiver and roast by turns, and when it is thraugn with you you are so weak that you generally die as a matter of preference. The doctors claim you can’t have it in a toinperature less than iifty-two de grees, but Mr. Kuno says he knows better. Ho has had it this week. Mf,reover, he goes further and ad- V'uices a new theory for scientific con sideration. The grip, he says, as far as he can learn, is notliitig more than the African.^ fever in a mild form. What is more, tlie disease started {a tew years ago, just after a lot.ot Afri- 0 m missionaries returned homo, and he is per'oually convinced that Afri- cm Xever was amon->- tlieir baggage. Tli'i Africin disease, he says, the doc- t >rs kn.')w nothing about, and ho t links we treat the grip too mildly, being tov> much afraitl of quinine. ^J’li.3 dose for African fever in the med- } books is two grains at a time, bui 1 I Africa the old han Is take as much fts 120 grains at a crisi?', putting i( (lijwii literally in handfuls.

While the notes of inseets are am,ong the loudest, and popularly supposed to proceed from the mouth, they are, in fact, instrumental—in other words, are produced by various musical instruments with which na ture has endowed them, and yet which, to some extent, correspond to the voice of other animals, the sounds and calls being answered by others of their kind. When the grasshopper wishes to hail soiaae companion or talk to its fellow ovePifee fence, it simply rubs its thigh agafftst the forewings, or plays upon a veritable fiddle. If the leg of the musician be examined under a microscope, a ridge of very fine teeth {the sound producers) will be seen. The loudest players are the locusts, which often make the woods resound ■with their calls. Sometimes all are playing or chattering at once ; again, there will be a lull in the conversation then one will begin^ the note will be taken up by another, and finallj^ a volume of sound will blend and fill the air. In the former case we had a fiddler, but here the musician is a drummer, as we may ascertain by examining the locust. The base of the anterior wing is transparent, forining a regular drum, with which the males produce their calls; and as there are many different species, so there are many different calls, and some, it is said, have certain calls for night and others for the daytime. The cicada, by using a drum at the base of the abdomen, produces a re markable sound, sufficient even to frighten off an enemy, yet a big wasp will sometimes carry off a big cicada despite the *‘zeeing” and drumming of the victim. Ihe notes of the katydid are per haps as familiar as any, and have a certain fascination, the sounds taking on various infiections and meanings. They are produced through . the rub bing of the inner surface of the hind legs against the outer surface of the front wings—through fiddling, in fact. Wheu the male cricket sings on the hearth, it raises its forewings and scrapes them against its iiind ones. Even the butterfly makes a sound audible at some distance, certain species having been heard to produce : a clicking sound.—Scientific Amer ican. Atmospheric Fnol. The possibility of carrying about with him the meatis of c(>unteracting a tendency to become chilled, and a stock of available fuel with which to keep warm, does not seem to be recog nized 1)3' the average individual. But tbat ore may by proper breathing keep up a comfortable temperature or throw off chiliner:is in . almost any de gree is a fact well e.stablished by abun dant experiments. Almost every per son may be exposed to the cold at times when there is no opportunity to pre pare for it, aud when there is no chance to secure extra clothing. In such cases it is only necessary io keep up deep, and rapid breathing. Fill the lungs as full as possible at every in spiration. If the air is very cold, it is well to hold a handkerchief lightly before the nostrils, in order that the sudden ingress of a large quantity of cold air may not injure the lungs. The air should be drawn in with some force, and exhale at once in the same way. Do not retain the air, but get rid of it as soon tvs possible. Two seconds is long enough for filling and emptying the lungs. Breathe fast, almost like panting after violent exer cise, but with tho utir.ost caution, stopping tho instant any distress or uneasiness is felt. Wait a moment, then begin again, a little more slowl}-. Be steadfast in the effort to fill the lungs as full as passible without strain ing. Within a few moments the blood will begin to grow warm, the extremi ties will feel the glow, und soon the entire surface will beat a comfortable temi^erature. It one wakens in the night with a “crcepy,” cold feeliog, this is an excellent thing to do, and will restore the circulation, and often produce a desire to sleep. There is another advantage in- deep breathing that is far too little appre ciated. Otje of the most eminent medical authorities declares that one can by full, rapid and free breatljiur^ eliminate almost all disease germs and teudencie< fr the ^y.':tera.
