Vow 20 Eat An Orange.

Always, on a Southern g%entleman'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 egg-and with the slender
poiLt of the knife a circular i~neision is
made in the stem end Of the orange, and
the stem-core is nicely taken out, leav-
ing an oriice large enough to admit the
e~gg-spoon. The orange is held and eaten
then, just like gourmands eat an egg in
its own shell; and the skill and grace
with which this is done, that is, without
soiling your fingers tor napkin-are, as
in the same process with the egg; a test
of good breeding. | have known the
most inexpert persons to master the few
difficulties In the way after two or three
efforts; and their satisfaction was an in
initely pleasant sight. The hostesses
who like to have their table preserve in
some degree, at the close Of an enter
tainment, the beauty which dazzle the
guests upon entering, this method is most
desirable. Servants-let me put in q
plea for the silent ones whose interests
are too seldom regarded-are spared the
tedious duty of gathering up the frag-
ments, and guests who look with dismay
at this tempting apple Of the Hes.
perdies, 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 fbre-of which, indeed,
there is very little in an orange plucked
from the tree under its own skies-being
left in the shell.

Mahoney City that large crowds Of men
from Hazleton and vicinity, who left
Hazleton last night, arrived in Mahoney

all to 60 with them to stop the working
miners that had resumed work since
Monday last, There are about one
thousand men now marching from col
liery to colliery, compelling all miners
to suspend work. They have visited
Silllman & Steets, Lentz & Bowman and
Peter ,Bowen's collieries. Boylan's
miners topped work on account Of the
refusal Of an advance in wages. Troops
have been applied for.
AT $3.50 to-day it was reported that
only part of Lent 4 Bowman's men had
stopped work. The mob then were on
their way to the Hartford colliery.
A later dispatch states that the Bear

A rare collection of artifcially colored

One of the most curious things in the

one hundred years old. 1t is about
twenty inches in hight, its trunk is as
thick as a finger, or, say, an inch in
