noticed, with n snoer, that at certain
times the guide whatever obstacles
might arise, put them oil aside, and
kneeling on tho burning sands,
called on his God. Day after day
passed, and still the Arab mover
failed to do this; till at last ono
evening, when he arose from his
knees, the would-bo philosopher
asked him with contemptous
smile
How do you know there is n
God ?"
Tho guide fixed his eyes on the
scoffer for moment in wonder and
then said, solemly.

The orange orchards which flour,
ished in Louisiana before the war
are dying out, but we are informed
that much attention is being given
to the planting of new trees and to
the restoration of the old. Orange
culture is a pleasant business, and
when the trees get to bearing they
yield q good harvest. Being a
semi-tropical plant, the orange tree
grows luxnriantly on the Gnlf coast
1t succeeds best in dry, rich soil
AS there is such large demand
for the golden fruit in the more
Northern sections of the country
and as increased railroad facilities
permit of speedier transportation
than in the old days, it seems to us
that orange culture in Louisiana
should now yield handsome profits
to those who engage in it with
thoughtful determination. -Iuv
