TKIiiis ana going through a thousand
genuflexions, until we left at eleven
o'clock, and they kept up the perform­
ance until midnight. What an emo­
tional people!
I revelled in the most exquisite roses
during all of our stay in Eustis, our
hostess keeping our room filled with
the choicest varieties, so marvelous in
color, so rich in perfume, as to almost
intoxicate us with their beauty.
Where Winter Strawberries Grow.
March 15th we took the train for
Ocala, the next day reached Lawtie, a
quiet little town settled by northern­
ers devoted to strawberry culture. Here
we spent a week driving, walking, sit­
ting on the broad piazza of the hotel
in the sun, getting tanned and fat.
Nothing here is cultivated but acres
and acres of strawberries, little tiny
plants; but raise the leaves and you
can pick nearly a quart from one vine.
The number of quarts shipped north
during the season is fabulous, but oc­
casional freezes do damage.
The mornings and evenings were al­
ways cold, so we had a wood fire in
the big fire-place in our room, of fat
pitch pine wood, and it was very fas­
cinating to watch the fire light, as it
flickered here and there, lighting the
room so that we needed no lamp. All
through the South the mocking birds
were singing, calling and answering
each other day and night. Returning
to Jacksonville we devoted the few
hours we had to visiting the shops and
the Exposition building. Here in the
Alligator Pool we saw a number of the
uncanny looking beasts, the largest of
which was ten feet long, so utterly
hideous and ugly that he was most fas­
cinating to me. Our next stop was at
Savannah, where we drove all over the
city and out on the beautiful shell
road to the old cemetery, called ''Bon­
aventure” (Beautiful Way), where the
ire««, great live oaks, covered with
gray moss, are a hundred years old
Great Natural Arches.
Roads have been cut through the
woods and the effect is indescribable;
it la like driving through great cathe­
dral arcbee, so sombre and solemn, and
so grand withal, a fitting place for
the dead. Savannah is a beautiful old
city, with many parks and squares
planted with palms and palmettos,
right in Ita heart.
The magnolias
seem the favorite tree, and they grow
to a great height. The houses are large
and broad, with verandas all around
th« two stories, and they must be
needed in the hot Hummer. We had a
very full day, and at seven o’clock took
th« sleeper for Richmond. We rode
all the next day, reaching our destine
tion in the evening, and drove to
Ford’s Hotel, where we had stopped
thirty-five years ago on our wedding
trip. But the hotel had changed, the
city has grown, and nothing looked
natural except Sunset Park and the
old Capitol Park. The grass was turn­
ing green and the numerous gray
squirrels were so tame they came and
ate from my hand. We drove all the
morning, visiting the beautiful statue
of Gen. Robert E. l>ee—a bronze eques­
trian on an Immense granite pedestal
In the afternoon we drove to the park
and hunted up Mr Pollard, the Vir­
ginian who captured my husband dur­
ing the war. It was their first meet­
ing since that memorial time when they
were mere boys, one wearing the blue
and the oiher the gray, and they had
a most Interesting “war talk.”
The next morning we took our train
for Washington exactly five week« from
the day we-left It has been truly a
delightful trip, beneficial In health and
education, perfectly charming tn every
way. whose memory will go with me
through life.

MAHNET GARDEN TYPE.
Style of Auto Suitable for
Carrying Farm Produce.
One of the first cable pictorial de
wriptions of the useful war automobile,
as shown in the illustration, has just
came to hand. This is a special farm­
er’s type. It can be constructed in any
small power, for jogging along pur­
poses, from 30 to 120 horse. A special
feature of interest to market gardners
is the ability of the wagon to run tor
twenty minutes after having the tires
riddled with bullets, which makes it
thoroughly practical. It is entirely
bomb-proof when beyond the range of
the enemy’s guns. A ‘‘starting crank"
is fitted in front, but “the machine can
be started automatically from the
¡rivers seat," where the principal crank
is supposed to be located. "On the top
of the rear portion of the box" the
specifications read, “is a turret from
which projects a Hotchkiss gun which
can be trained in any direction”—upon
competing market gardners.“ A special
quality of steel has been employed for
armor.” At 300 yards Lebel bullets
fall to pierce, but glance off. thus in­
suring adequate protection to loads of
eggs, live shoats and other tender vege­
tables.
"The machine carries two steel rails,
which can be quickly unshipped and
placed across a ditch.” This feature
is ot great import to the average tiller
of soil, as it means that if the machine
becomes frightened or unmanagable

men or the flight of birds, and jumps
