any around as much as they desire.
Then they ”to In bathing at regular in
tervals. and the routine gone through
by the professors at the institute is
almost eoupi to that of some of the
best known athletes In the country.
The only dlfference is they do not get
out and run for ten miles at a stretch
nor do they tire themselves out by go-
lug throtléh severe gymnastic exer-
clses. They are then; to rest after
months of hard brain work, and they
take just enough exercise to be con
ducive to good health.

had charge of the place 0 to lhrcc
years ago. when Rev. Fat lcr Joseph
llimmel, who has preached in every
Roman Catholic Church In the United
States. took charge, and since then he
has been conducting the island on the
same principle as a well organized
farm. He has five men in his employ
all the time and they are busy from
morning until night keeping the place
In shape. There are twonty-threc acres
of hard. rich land. on which almost
anything will grow. besides a great
deal of salt meadow land. This marsh
land was purchased along with the is
land, for the purpose of having a pri-
vate road running from the island to
the main road leading Into the city.
It Is strictly a private institution and
Mr. Himmel‘ says that they do not cu-
courage visits of women. nor do they
invite men to call. : The priests desire
to be as private as possible.
For nine years the island was own-
cd and conducted by one of the Jesuit
colleges. . Three ignore ago It was de-
filled: to branch out on a large scale
and the colleges pained were taken in.
It is now a corporation In good iluan
c isI standing Therc are not sufficient
buildings to supply the demand and
the management Is thinking seriously
of erecting a large and handsome
building to take the place of the pre-
sent mansion. Father ilimmci says
that the only drawback from starting
the work is the supply of water. He
said that he had called on the water
commissioners In South Not-walk. and
they wanted the much to furnish them
with water by the year. He said that
they asked $100 per year. Tllc 001"
porn‘tlon Was willing to lay the pipe and
connect with the main.
The present main building has twen-
ty-nlne rooms. but this Is not sufficient
to hold all the professors. Those who
have been ill service the longest are
the ones who occupy the rooms In this
building. There are four. other build
Ingebcsidcs the kitchen and dining
room. which arc separated from the
others. . The dining room has a seating
capacity for 120 men. If the new
structure In built the mansion will be
moved back further In the garden and
the new building will be placed on the
present site. .

it has been closed up. Mr. Himmei I:
thinking of opening it again.
There is one of the finest orchards
on the island that can be found any
where. Each year hundreds of barrels
‘of fine apples are picked. Mr. Himmcl
has erected an apple cellar. where can
be found choice fruit from Octobel un-
til July
Last Tuesday' s storm did more dam-
age on the island than the one prev-
lously. Fourteen of the finest trees,
including three of the choicest apple
trees. were blowll down. The roof to
the dining room was blown about six
inches off Its bearings. William H. Mc-
Mahon. the carpenter and builder, hap-
pened to be In the room at the time.
He heard the timbers creaking and“
thought the roof was toI'go. He called
to the professors to get out. They had
no sooner vacated the room than the
roof gave way. Father Himmel said
that if anyone had been in the building
they would have been seriously Injur-
ed or killed. Mr. .Mciifahon braced the
roof up again and supper was eaten af
ter the storm.
The institute Is kept open the year
round, but this Is the busiest time of
the year. After the professors go any
ciergymeu or laymen are welcome to
go and stay a week or ten days If they
pay their expenses. No one but the
professors are allowed at the institute
during the three weeks.

that he would wish for no better place
to live outside of Florida, as he claims
that Florida is the best place in the
world to reside for health and many
other things.
'l‘lltI reason that. Governor Jennings

of being selected as one of the princi-

ccivcd a tremendous ovation when he
arose to dolrvcr his address. and at
the cloutI the applause was dcufuing.
In the beginning of his speech he
told about the terrible.I conflugrnflon Ill
