The Season of Oranges.
NEW York Times

This is the season of oranges, which
we are receiving in abundance from
Florida, as we'll as from Cuba and vari-
Gus parts of Southern Europe. Our do
mestic product has greatly increased
within few years, and is likely to in
crease very much more. The orange is
believed by many to be a native of this
country, in the region Of the Gulf of
Mexico, though it is probable that it was
originally introduced there and natural
lied. Botanists generally think the
sweet-bitter bergamot and other varieties
of orange all of one species.
The fruit is usually cultivated, and
even then shows marked tendency to
degenerate. 1t is raised wherever the
climate is warm enough, but fourishes
best in sub-tropical districts. The old
Greeks and Romans seem not to have
known it, for it was in all likelihood
taken to Europe by the Moors, and it Is
believed to have been introduced into
Italy as late as the fourteenth century,
nearly one thousand years later than the
lemon or citron. OF the sweet orange,
the principal varieties are the Portugal
or Lisbon orange, the China Or
ange, said to have been brought from
China by the Portuguese, and now
widely cultivated in Southern Europe,
the Maltese, or blood orange, the Ma
jorca, or seedless orange. The bitter or
ange was extensively raised by the Moors
in Spain, probably for medicinal purposes,
and is still used for favoring and for
marmalade. The orange is more readily
packed and preserved, along with its
congeners, lemons, citrons and lines, than
any other fruit. 1t is very valuable
crop in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Malta, the
Azores, and in Florida. Many people
hold that our oranges are superior to
any of those raised in Europe, and their
quality is steadily improving.

A Paper House With Paper Furnishings.

In the Sydney (Australial Exhibition
there is house built and furnished
throughout from paper. The structure
is one story high, and its skeleton is
made of wood. The exterior is nodded
in carton-piers, whilst the interior is
covered with the same material, being
plain on the floor, forming splendid ar
abesques on the walls, and nodded in
imitation of plaster on the ceilings. The
doors, cupboards and shelves are OF the
same material. whilst the entire furni-
ture, including chandeliers and a stove,
in which fire can be lighted, is made
of papier-mache. The carpets and cur
tains are of paper. and there is bed
room in which there is not only large
bed made of papier-mache; but there
are also blankets, sheets, quilts and fe-

of carton pate. 1t is proposed to give
a series of banquets in this building, in
which the plates, dishes, knives, forks

Worship of False Beauty.

Houses are known to me in which
laugh seems almost as misplaced as in
church, and is even subject to the same
unuttered rebuke. Houses there are
now by the hundred where the thickly-
shaded light, as it breaks with difficulty
through the faded curtains, falls not
alone upon "hatted," dusky paint, blue
china and black-and- gold wickerwork.
but illumines family the pale faces OF
weary women, self-immOlated upon the
altar of their own hearths. The wor-
ship of beauty Galse beauty as / hold it
to be) has its victims now by the hun
bred. and much of the etfeteness of our
artists and the hysteria of our women
may be traced back till we find its
seemingly inocuous source In art, furni-
ture and decorative hangings. The other
night at all sat home" l saw the last
and worst result of such teaching. Ny
attention was drawn by friend to a
young woman in dull, colorless dress,
without collar or other adornment, and
with thick mass of hair rubbed con-
fusedly down on her forehead She
was sitting in a corner by doorway,
with face expressive of such withered
Joy as L have never before seen affect
ed. Her head lay back against
the doorpost, her eyes were half closed,
more like piece OF sea-weed left high
upon the beach in the glare of a noon
day sun than woman. There she sat,
unlovely, unwomanly, and unhealthy
but oh, how aesthetic. The current of
people flowed and eddied about her; talk,
neither wise nor witty, perhaps, but at
least human, rose and fell UNDECIDED by
her ear, while by her side stood barris-
ter noted for his wit even more than for
his learning, vainly trying to win smile
from the poor, sad face. Is this what
our wives and sisters are coming to if
they have any artistic capacities? Is
this the desired result Of an increased
devotion to art? l, for one, refuse to
believe it. 1t seems to me to be only
one of the many false fashions of the
day, an outgrowth from the worst parts
of Swinburne's and Rosetti's poetry.
Let not one of this school delude him
self or herself into the belief that their
practices and theories tend to help art.
They tend rather to destroy it; and as
surely as you kill healthiness of feeling
and strength of moral fiber in any socie-
ty, SO certainly you may be sure you
kill also the root of all fine art. For
fine art is always healthy, always strong,
and never self-conscious.- LOaCtOnS Spec

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
Ornamental Women.

Nearly every woman who appears in
behalf of her sisters belabors man as
accountable for woman's present posi-
ton. But is not woman herself chiefly
accountable? As she now is man may
excusably think her unfit for the rough
conflicts of life. She is more of an ex-
otto than sturdy native and yet, be-
fore she has attained the hardness of
the latter, and without so much as try
ing to attain it, she wishes to pass at
one stride from her dollhouse home into
the chilling air of the world. 1t is not
or should not be a matter of astonish-
ment that men do not care to place the
making of the laws into hands that are
forever playing Mt ornamentation, and
which, after decorating the person be-
yond all sense and health, go on, among
other nonsensical conceits, deliberately
to cover handsome marble mantels with

What a Naturalist Saw.

An English naturalist, while preserv-
ing ants and spiders in bottles of alco-
hol, met with touching exhibition that
caused him to forego further expert
ments. He wished to preserve large
female spider and twenty-four of her
young ones that he had captured. He
put the mother into bottle of alcohol,
and saw that after few moments she
folded her legs upon her body, and was
at rest. He then put into the bottle the
young ones, who, of course, manifested
acute pain. What was his surprise to
see the mother arouse herself from her
lethargy, dart around and gather her
young ones to her bosom, fold her legs
over them, again relapse into insensi-
bility, until at last death came to her
relief, and the limbs, no longer con-
trolled by this maternal instinct, re-
leased their grasp.

The Married FIirt.

OF all the evils pervading "society
life, perhaps the most pernicious infu-
ences are to be traced to the "married
firt )" therefore, it will not be amiss in
our desire to unveil the ills of the pres
ent day socially to devote few words
to her. Either as male or female, the
married firt is abominable, but we think
the female productive of the most mis-
chief, so it is with her We shall deal.
First, pr ct simple, it is an odious
term, even when applied to a bright
young girl. How much more SO when
attached to married woman-she who
holds her husbands honor in charge,
her children's future, the lives and hap
piness of all. Love of admiration be-
gins the harm. Not content with the
love of the one she has vowed to keep
only unto still death do them part,
she Graves the fattery and admira-
ton of every passable man of her ac-
quaintance-to have string of admir-
ers who offer incessant incense mt her
shrine is her very life itself. She insists
on the most abject devotion, the great
est and most constant attention. At n
ball, let any of her followers dare to
slight her for some young girl, and dire
is the consequence to him-she exacts
the most implicit obedience to her
whims and caprices. If she appears at
the theater, there, also, the favorite of
the hour is expected TO be in attendance,
to carry her glasses, toy with her bou-
quet or hold her fan. Did the evil stop
here it would be comparatively harmless,
but by degrees the intimacy grows, and
at last to such degree that the flirt be-
gins to be " talked about" and event
ually the husbands ear catches the
whisper. Then comes suspicious, harsh
looks, harsh words. Madame, to turn
suspicion aside, drops the favorite who
has caused the "talk," and directs her
attention to young fellow who is be-
