How to Eat an Orange.

Always, on a Southern gentleman's
table, the dessert of oranges is furnished
with small silver fruit knives and spoons
The orange is held in the napkin-just as
you hold an ege-and with the slender
point of the knife circular incision is
carefully made in the stem-end of the
orange and the stem-core is nicely cut
out, leaving an orifice large enough to
admit an egg-spoon. The orange is held
and eaten then, just as gou,nands eat an
egg, in its 0aca she'll. and the skill and
grace with which this is done-that is,
without soiling the fingers or napkin
are, as in the same process with an egg,
test of good breeding. l have known
the most ineXpert persons TO master the
few difficulties in the way after two or
three efforts; and their satisfaction was
an infinitely pleasant sight To hostcsses
who like to have their tables preserve in
some degree, at the close OF an enter
tainment, the beauty which dazzled the
guests upon entering, this method is
most desirable. Servants-let me put in
plea for those silent ones whose inter
ests are too seldom rega1ded-are spared
the tedious duty of gathering up the
fragments; and guests Who look with dis
may at this tempting apple of the
Hesperldes can thus enjoy it as they
never did before. Only the delicious
nectar of the fruit is eaten, with the
more delicate pulp; the tough fber-ot

Iron and Hard ware.

From Chicago Tribune Of March 2O1
Iron and hardware in the endless divisions
and subdivisions of merchandise included in
the terms constitute a great feature Of COM
merce in every manufacturing or mercantile
district, and in Chicago the business OF this
department has come to reach high figures.
A visit to almost any one of the several large
houses reveals a general condition of active
preparation for q busy season. s. ID. kimbark,
successor to the firm of kimbark Bros. s. Co.,
who is perhaps most widely and generally re-
lated to the iron and heavy hardware trade, and
who is regarded as general Western author
ity in matters and statistics pertaining to that
interest, when interviewed by Tribune rep
resentative yesterday, candidly referred to the
depression in the outside manufacturing in
dustry as the most conspicuous feature in the
records Of the year, but reasoned In Il way to
apply effects on national rather than local
scale. The business OF the great house on
Michigan avenue OF which Mr.. kimbark is
the head, dating back quarter of century,
entering somewhat largely into the history of
the commerce Of the city, has attained sta
blity and uniformity by simple magnitude
which would naturally prevent its being af-
fected to any noticeable degree by the ordi-
nary vicissitudes Of the markets. 1t Is claimed
that to the operations of this house Is due the
acquisition Of considerable of the original ter
ritory Of trade now constituting the common
ground of the commerce OF Chicago, includ-
ing the Salt Lake district, and remOter fields
to the West and South which were traversed
by its agents, and made accessory to the
business of the city, long before any buffalo,
or Indian, or other native Of these fertile but
unchristian lands had ever been scared by
the whistle of a locomotive And when it is
remembered that for twenty years the house
has constituted a sort of steady center
Of distribution Of iron and hardware sup
plies for manufacturers, wagon makers,
blacksmiths and merchants throughout the
entire dominion of Western commerce, with
5000 permanent names on the books of the
firm, and sales aggregating as high as
81, 100000 year, it is reasonable to sup
pose that it would require something more
than the temporary depression in the manu-
featuring industry to perceptibly affect the
uniform volume and course of business.
The establishment itself is one of the mer-
camille curiosities and solid attractions Of the
city-a center Of very great interest to intelli-
gent visitors generally as well as to a
special community of mechanics, manufac-
turers and dealers-and may be properly des-
ignated as a perpetual industrial exposition
OF iron, steel, nails, carriage and heavy hard
ware, blacksmiths' outfits and wagon wood
material, each classified department and
every broad floor of the lofty building afford
ing a display in enormous bulk more calcu-
lated to surprise and interest the Imagination
OF a wagon maker, iron mechanic or dealer
than a worlds fair.

Europe using this oil only when the olive
crop is short The price in 1874 varied
from forty to sixty-seven and one.half
Vents per gallon, according to quality.
Mica was first introduced into Eu-
rope from Russia, and was then known
as Muscovy glass. The name is derived
from the Latin mtco, to shine. The most
extensive mica mines now worked are
situated in Dhoba and Dunwee, in India
one in Canada, one in New Jersey, and a
very ancient one in North Carolina
There have been small beds of mica
found in other sections of the United
States, but they have not been worked
to any great extent.

Pimples, EruptiOns, Rough Skin.

The system being put under the influence
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft and velvety, and, being illuminated with
the glow Of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glory The eff
fects Of all medicines which operate upon the
system through the medium of the blood are
necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how
good the remedy employed. While one to
three bottles clear the skin of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedoncs,
or "grubs," dozen may possibly be required
to cure some cases where the system is rotten
with scrofulous or viIulent blood poisons.
The cure Of all these diseases, however, from
the common pimpe to the worst scrofula, is,
with the use of this most potent agent, only
a matter of time. Sold by dealers in medi-

man or woman is rarity; and what
wonder? when we realize that it is the
custom to overload the stomach, and
then produce chronic disease by the use

produced disease by indiscretion, the
