MYSTERIES OF FLORIDA. A b r n d e r g r o u n il E lv e r T h a i M a k « T ilin g » V e r y L iv e ly a t l i r a . . . Two miles Foutli of Gainesville is a prairie At certain seasons strangers wonder why it is called a “ prairie,” for they look out upon a broad stretch of water so deep that storms churn its surface into rolling wliito capped bil lows. At times the commerce of tho lake is done by steamer, while at other times there is not water enough to float a canoe. In fact, 1 have crossed tho frairio in the steamer and again hare gone over Identically tho same routo in a stage from whose wheels clouds of dust would roll. On the edge of tho prairie, half walled in by rock, dense with immense trees draped in long festoons of mors, is a pool of water called “ Tho Siuk. ” The depth of it has never been sounded. lYora tliis Fink an underground river flows aud makes its way no one knows where. Sometimes an acre or so of land, trees aud all, w ill fall into tho underground liver, and then the drain* age of the prairie is obstructed, and the prairio “ goes dry. ” In a year or tv.o tho river w ill have seeped around the obstruction, nud then the prairie “ goes wet." In tho neighborhood of Gaines* villo there are hundreds of the sinks, all of them as round us a dollar and averaging from a quarter to a half aero in extent. North of Gainesville is a pretty and mysterious spot called the “ Devil’s Millhopper. ” A largo stream of water comes down hill with considerable force and disappears in a pool that has no visible outlet. Near Brooksvillo is an­ other pool very similar to the “ Devil's Millhopper. ” A stream of water pours into it and disappears in a whirlpool in tiie center. Throw a log in it, ami it w ill circle the pool many times, gradu­ ally drawing neurer Io tho center. Sud­ denly the log disappears. Sonio grewsemo stories are connect­ ed with the Brooksvillo pixil. It is said that tho place is haunted, for tho reason that many a man, and woman, too, has mysteriously disappeared in it, never to be heard of afterward. In the pioneer days of that part of the country, so the stories go, there was a secret society which washed all its dirty linen in that pool. In other words, if a man or wom­ an gavo grave offenso to any members of the society, ho or she was gagged, hound aud in the darkness of night thrown Into tho pool.—Florida Titues- Union.

A mild mannered man walked up to the cagu of un unshared son of the forost, wearing among his other clothes a prehensile tail und a face us solemn us a Wesleyun deacon of the old fashioned type. The monkey was critically exam­ ining a peanut, wondering possibly whether it would bo worth opening. The man laid un innocent looking little roll of something on tho outer ledge of the cage. Now, a monkey's curiosity is only equaled by his avarice. He will take anything in sight whether he wants It or not So the ring tailed resident of the cage took this roll in. At first it was not possible to see what he had ac­ quired, but in an instant tho mystery was solved. He placed it ouno to his month and took a generous bite. It proved to 1st a secondhand piece of chewing gum. As he removed his paw a few onlookers wore well nigh thrown into spasms, for the wax strung out in an ever dwindling string, and as it drew' nway front him tho monkey surveyed the string calmly, but ouriously. If ever a monkey assum­ ed an expression of beurt consuming bliss, it was that monkey. There was Just enough sugar in the pasty stuff to make it very palatable to him, and he curlsd his tail, rolled his eyes upward with an ngoiiizing look mid murmured to himsolf, “ This is hunven to m e.” But the wnx under his emphatic treat­ ment began to allow signs of r. bellion. It got worm and stuck in his paw, ami While he was trying to solve the prob­ lem there encountered it locked his jaws. Then he began In yawn, and to pray for a toothpick, and to w ish for the man Who hod given him I he gum, but tliut Worthy was far away. —Cincinnati Trib- ana K a r ly I'ae o f t h e W o r tl ••s tr ik e .* An early use of the word "strike" oc­ curs in the London Chronielo for 17(15. In the Septemls'r of that year are nu­ merous references to great suspension of tabor in the northern coalfield, nnd the colliers are atuted to have "struck out" for a higher bounty before entering into thier usual yearly “ blind. ” in confirma­ tion of Mr. Loatoii-Uleiikinsopp's state­ ment at tiie Inst reference it may be added that the strike is twice called a “ stick. ” (Loudon Chronielo, Oct. H ID.) One of Harriet Murtinenu's curliest pamphlets was a tract entitled “ The Tendency of Htrikcs and Sticks to Produce Low W ages,” published at Durham in 1K34.
