ORANGES IN THE AZoREs.-Nowhere are
oranges more important than in the Azores.
The islanders live on them, both directly as
food, and indirectly as profitable industry.
just as In other parts of the world mans
wealth is reckoned by the number of sheen.
cattle, or horses which he can call his own
so here the orange trees forms the unit or
value. You do not say such man is worth
many thousand, but that he has a quinta con.
tanning SO many trees. High and low, rich
and poor, ralike derive their incomes from
oranges. Whether it be good or evil, the
population are certainly not "divorced from
the soil' in the Azores, for while the pro-
prletor has his thousand or fifteen hundred
stems, the peasant rejoices in the "tints
that gilds the greenest boughn upon his
dozen or half dozen trees. During the year
when the orange trees are yielding no fruit
maze or beans are growing between their
racks, but seldom afterwards, unless the
owners be very poor or greedy.
The islanders devote their whole time.
thought and energies to the cultivation of the
orange, and watch over the trees with great
care and anxiety, to preserve them from the
violence of the elements, or from the ravages
of that destructive insect, the coccus. The
crop is generally bought of merchants be-
fore it has reached maturity, and there are
professional valuers who have attained great
precision in calculating the product of each
tree. After the bargain is made, however,
the weather or the insects may play sad
havoc with the quinta, and cause heavy
loss to the purchaser. The well-known St.
Michael oranges, so much esteemed in this
country, come from the largest of the Azores,
which upon an area of two hundred and
twenty-nine miles, yield ananualy oranges
to the value of about four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and to the number of near
ly three millions. A seventh of this quaa-
tity is usually consumed by the inhabitants,
the rest eXported

LION -TAMER EATEN UP.-A Frenchman an
named Soulages, native of Colmar. has for
some time past been exhibiting with great
success. at Wurtzburg, as lion tanner. On
the day above mentioned he entered den
containing lion and lioness, and made
them go through various performances. The
spectators loudly applauded. Eated by
these plaudits, Soulages determined to do
something more extraordinary, and for that
purpose he collected in one den lion, a
lioness, white bear, two black bears, four
hyenas. two wolves, and tiger. He then
entered himself, whip in hand, but the door
was scarcely closed when the tiger made a
spring at the white bear. This was the sig.
nal for a terrific struggle between all the
beasts, who appeared at once to recover their
natural ferociry. Soulages, hoping to in
timidate5the animals, fred two pistol shots
at the tiger and white bear. This act sealed
his fate, for the tiger, leaving the bear,
sprang upon hisskeeper, threw him down and
began to tear him with his teeth and claws.
The other beasts, rendered furious by the
smell of blood all fell on the unhappy man,
and in few minutes he was torn to pieces
and almost devoured, in the presence of the
horror-struck spectators. who were powerless
to render assistance.-Foreagn paper.
The Shasta courier., 1865-05-06

CHUBBY CHILDREN.-It should be kept
before the people that babies ought to be
plump. A letter from Berlin contains the
following on the subject:
To one who has just come from America,
l think hardly anything is so striking as to
see such multitudes of children from six
years of age down to six weeks, all ruddy,
plump and healthy. Look at the first five
hundred you meet, and that universal Amer.
lean nuisance, crying baby, is not to be
seen. Why should they cry? They have
plenty of simple food-no devouring of
pound-cake. If the child asks for bread,
they do not give him such stone; have
plenty of fresh air and play here, and sleep
IN their plump nurses arms, and wake and
sleep again. The children certainly do not
look SO delicately beautiful as with US
fairies, but frail and fair-still, were l a
parent, should thank God for the honest,
round, rosy, plump faces of these children.
There is something wrong about children
that are not chubby, and something wrong
about children that are not full of fun and
good humor. ms

NUMBER 10.
The Mysteries of Iron.

There is no miracle recorded in the annals
of any religion more mysterious, NOSE in.
comprehensive. more inconceivable. than
some of the well known properties of that
simple metal, iron. Consider, for instance
its change from its ordinary to its passive
state. If piece of the metal in its ordinarv
condition is immersed in nitric acid il Is
powerfully acted upon, entering into combi.
nation, with the acid and losing its metallic
form. But if a piece of platinum wire has
one end inserted in the acid and the iron ia
then immersed IN contact with the wire. # ia
SO changed that the acid has no power unon
it, and this condition continues after the f,]a.
tlnum wire is Withdrawn. The contact of a
single point with the platinum sends a trans
formation through all its particles which
renders them invulnerable to the attacks of
| the most powerful acid. Even more won.
derful is its change under the influence of a
current of electricity. When a bar of nura
soft iron is welded with an insulated wire and
a current of electricity is sent through the
wire. the bar is Instantly turned into a mag
net 1t is endowed with an unseen force
which stretches out from its ends, and seiz-
ing any other pieces of iron within its reach
draws them to itself, and holds them in its
invisible grasp. The object of insulating the
wire is to prevent the electricity from leav-
ing it, and yet through this insulating coat a
power is exerted which changes SO strangely
the nature of the iron, enabling it to act on
substances with which it is not ia contact
As soon as the circling current ceases, the
iron becomes like Sampson shorn of his
locks, its miraculous power has departed.
No less mysterious than either of these is
| the more familiar phenomenon of the fall of
piece of iron to the ground. under the SIM
pie action of gravitation. What is that in,
visible force that reaches out in all directions
from the earth, and clutches all matter in
its grasp? The fbers of this power are i'm
preceptible to any of our senses If we pass
our hands under suspended rock we can
feel nothing reaching from it to the earth, vet
there is something stretching up from the
earth, taking hold of the rock, and drawing
it down with the strength of hundred ca.
bles We walk enveloped in mysteries, and
"our daily life is miracle. .i'-iSciertifc
