Through the work and Influence of the Girls' Gardening and Canning Clubs of Florida WO hope t0 ?'av* every rural home in the State supplied throughout the whole year with home? grown and home-cannod tomatoes, with an ample surplus to sell to those who live In town or city. The following instructions for growing tomatoes in Florida were prepared for tho use of tho members of the Girls Gardening and can? ning Clubs of the State.

ENT DWINDLING OF REBEL SPIRIT. Indications are That Orosco Will ?loin Huerta, Leading Zapatista Only Dangerous Cliief Still Outside the Fold ol' the Administration. Mexico City, Feb. 26.?Keen satis? faction was displayed at the palace to? night over late reports which indi? cated < arly disappearance of revolu? tionary disturbances in the north and in portions of the .south. Gen. OroSCO has sent a telegram to Gen. Felix Diaz, protesting his al? legiance to the n? w government. He places all his men at the disposal of Gen. Diaz, either to muster out, or to incorporate in the federal forces. It is not expected that che Zapatista problem( especially in the State of Morelos, will be solved Immediately but se\? ral chiefs have signified their willingness to serve the gejvernment. Government officials realized the probability e>f a difficult campaign in the south, but President Huerta, who commanded the t? lerals In the cam? paign which n OSt n? arly resulted in the- ending of the Zapatista trouble and was checked only by Madero's benevolent Interference, believes he knows the situation sufficiently wed to ? nd the trouble. The Zapatistas have added to the list of towns they already occupied Amecameca, on the inter-oceanic rail? road, so miles southeast of Mexico City, an.1 three othe rs of minor im? portune. . Raiding Ci ntinucs with the usual atrocities but troops are in pur-; suit of the murde rers lor whom little rest Is promised. The> revolution in the State of Ger rareoro appears likely of easily set tlement since- Jesus H. Salgade>, the oldest and most persistent rebel lcade-r under Amlrew Almazan and Julio liadilla, promises allegiance. Accoreling to government aelvices, Venuztiano Carranza, former gover? nor of Coahuila, is muking little head? way in the new revolution inaugurat? ed by him with Saltillo as a base. To the repe>rt that Emilo Madero was killeel Is added a rumor that his brother, Raoual, has met the same fate at Torreon. Both these young men were actively allied with Carran? za, and if it is true, their taking off doothless will have a deterrent effect on rebel activity in that district. Carransa still holds the region about Monterey but Gen. Trevino, the federal commander, who is at Mon? terey, is said to have eiispatched troops in the direction of BaHillo. The irovernment believes there will he lit? tle difficulty in regaining the terri? tory. That region to the north of Mon? terey, including Xeuvo Laredo, now held by the rebels, the government asserts, soon will be added to the loyal districts. Francisco de la Har? ra, minister of foreign relations, is authority for the stateme nt that Geremimo Villareal has Indicated a desire to cooperate with the new ad? ministration. Gen. Pascual Orosco, Jr., is known to have been feu* a long time under the domination of his father, CoL Orosco, and the telegram se-nt by the latter today to Diaz, promising ab? solute allegiance to the government, is regai'de ' as Snd! ;ativ< e.t his fath? er's attitude. if the- leaders of Orosco's army fel? low the- example of their Kader, it Is practically certain that the Carranza movement will dwindle' away, having the' government only the Zapatista problem te> deal with. in the midst of plots and counter? plots, President Huerta is said to have an excellent grip on affairs ami to be \\e?rking in complete harm* ny with Gen.

SEABOARD AND CHARLESTON. How the Roejd W ill <?ct into the City, Pusrllng < harlntnalana Charleston Poet. Not only is the Seaboard Air Lin? coming to Charleston? but it le com in;,r two-fold, so to speak, or by two routes one through the Central por? tion of the State and the other by the way of Georgetown? along the coast sec tion, according to rumor. 4 but just when this hope of Charles? ton for b? tier railroad connections will be realized, nobody seems to know, although the opinion prows stronger that the time is not far dis? tant when the system will have it tracks running into the city. The Charleston counsel for the Sea? board Air Line has denie d the story ^ that the- syste m is behind the Sottile project to erect a bridge over the Cooper river and enter Charleston through a connection of links of rail? roads, many built by lumber compan? ies about Georgetown, Working across the- Santee river, through the Mo Clellanville section and Mount Pleas? ant to Charleston. The idea of enter? ing Charleston over a bridge is to obviate the almost prohibitive rates which, according to the story, the other systems would impose upon the company, coming into Charleston through the "neck." A ferry S3 stemSj is said to be expensive to maintain and to have proven a failure at Sa? vannah where it is used, this sug? gesting a bridge for the connection with a Charleste?n terminus The Seaboard Air Line owns water*^ f re int. property at the foot of Society str. e t, as it is alleged to do also ? n the Remley'i Point section, just on the opposite side of the Cooper river, and the persistent rumors of the system coming into Charleston in this way, are heard and circulated in spite of the denial of the counsel^ of the railroad that the Seaboard has anything to do with the bridge proposition.
