THE ORANGES.
I he Season For The Splendid Fruit
Where They COue From. And the Diff
ferent Kinds.
New York Times.


This is the season of oranges, which
we are receiving in abundance from
Florida, as from Cuba and various parts
of Southern Europe. Our domestic
product has greatly increased within
few years, and is likely to increase very
much more. The orange is believed
by many to be native of this country.

enough, but fourishes best in the sub
tropical districts. The old Greeks and
Romans seem not to have known it;
for in all likelihood, was taken to Europe
by the Moors, and is believed to have
been introduced into Italy as late as
the fourteenth century, nearly 1000
years later than the lemon or citrol.
OF the sweet orange, the principal varie-
ties are the Portugal or Lisbon, orange,
the China orange, said to have been
brought from China by the Portuguese,
and now widely cultivated in southern
Europe, the Maltese or blood orange,
the Msjsrca, or seedless orange. The
bitter orange was extensively raised by
the Moors in Spain, probably for medi-
cinal purposes, and is still used for flaw
oring 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 a
very valuable crop in Italy, Portugal,
Spain, Malta, the Azores and Florida.
Many people hold that our oranges are
superior to any of those raised in Eu-
rope, and their quality is steadily i'm
proving.

SHE WON HER LOVER.
The Wicked Rinse of Very Wise Young
Lady.
Chicago Tribune.


The length 10 which those who mend
our shirts will allow prejudice to carry
them, even in matters of apparently
small import, was illustrated recently
in the case of beautiful young lady OF
this city, who year ago was Whlrline
madly in the vortex of fashionable So
ciety, and had apparently no object in
life except the qualification of the vari-
Gus whims and fancies which spring
perennial in the female breast. Sudden
ly she became convinced that this mode
of life was wrong, and that the true
sphere of woman was in the domestic
circle, provided she could get one of
her own; and 1t is worthy of remark,
that, when the young lady came to this
conclusion, she had already reached
the somewhat mellow age, for girl, Of
26 summers, all of which had. accord.

head, and seen not less than four young

glide gently but firmly out of reach. 1t
was after some reflection on this melan-
choly chapter of her career that the
young lady arrived at the determine
ton above alluded to, and at once
proceeded to put into execution her
ideas.
Discarding the bangs, bangles, frizz.
barber-pole stockings and other articles
of personal adorpment with which she
had been accustomed to bedeck her
person, size returned to the Puritan
simplicity in the matter Of dress, which
characterized our foremother, and, as
female acquaintance said, "made an
object of herself generally. But be-
meath this artless simplicity there lurk-
ed deep.laid plot. One of the most
estimable young men in the neighbor-
hood who had been looking for a wife
among the daughters of the first fami-
lies, but had been unable to find one
that seemed to care for anything but
dress, noticed with pleasure the change
in Miss, and resolved to win her.

tan-like maiden blossomed out in the
most gorgeous manner with fine raj
ment, telling the partner of her dry
goods bills that the discarding of fashion,
able finery was only done to win her
own, ownest Charley. The young man
saw that he had been roped in, but es-
cape was impossible, and he is now
simply dreadful example of the
lengths to which deception may be
carried.

An EIpnIlant,S hot Cake.

This story is from letter written by
a gentleman in India. The writer
SAYS: Zone day two ladies were watch
ing some elephants being fed near their
camp in the juugles of the Central Pro-
vinces, when the elder of the two took
into her head to offer one of the ele-
plants a very hot chabatti, which is
cake m ade of flour and baked on the
fire over thin plate and consequently,
when fresh made, is burning hot. Ele-
plants are usually fed with those twice
a day, but they are always allowed to
cool before being given. This one was
still SO hot that it nurt the beasts trunk,
for ne dropped it with the quickness OF
lightning and with shout, at the same
time striking a blow on the hand of the
lady. Had she been but little nearer
and the beast not at the full length of
his chain, the same blow on the head
would certainly have killed her on the
spot. As it was, her hand was in a
most painful state for weeks afterwards.
Next morning, when it was time to
start for the next encampment, this
same lady, who usually got up the lad
der first and sat nearest to the eIe-
plants head, proceeded to do as usual,
but as soon as she approached the ele-
plant he began to trumpet and throw
water over her. This he did several
times, till at last she had to give up try
ing to ascend. and another lady took
her place. The elephant however. per-
mitted her to sit near his tail, but be re-
NAMED cross all day."

BATTLING WITH A BULL.
A COlOred Mans Desperate Fight for
Life in Field in New Jersey.


On Tuesday afternoon, toward dusk
colored man in the employ of Mr..
George Hubschmidt, in Bergen county,
New Jersey, went into field to drive
bull into the barnyard. The bull was
rather vicious, but had never attacked
the men. This time, however. the ami
NAL made plunge for the colored
man, knocking him to the ground, held
him there with his fore feet and at
tempted to gore him with his sharp
horns. The negro struggled and fought
as best he could, and succeeded in dodg-
ing the blows several times. But finally
the horn penetrated the mans cheek
about an inch from the mouth. The
brute then gave savage lunge and tore
the flesh around the neglo's chin, from
q point about two inches from the left
end of his mouth clear around to his
right ear. This made terrible wound,
and the great arteries of the neck were
narrowly missed. In spite of his wound
the man continued to fight for his life.
he succeeded in reaching stone, with
which he hammered the animal over
| the eye until the animal, which was all
this time holding his victim pinioned to
the ground, was forced to let go. The
bull then ran to the opposite side of the
field, tossing his mead and roaring with
rain, the eye being almost entirely des-
troyed. The negro subsequently re-
marked that he made a square bulls
eye every time.
Two men who happened along in an
other field went as far as the fence, but
were afraid to go to the colored mans
assistance, even after the bull had run
away. He got up and staggered across
| the field to the fence and then he sank
sensless. DR.. Van Gleson of Paterson,
was sent for, and he dressed the wound.
DIR. Van Gleson says he thinks the negro
will recover, although he says it is one
of the narrowest escapes he ever saw,
as the mans windpipe was actually
grazed by the sharp point of the bulls
! horn

Then she told him to dig at the loot OF
the tree for the pot of gold, and, in an
other minute, she was gone. The old
man dug as directed, but found no
treasure. He consoled himself with
that he had his original $15, 900 in gold /;
but, when examined tho contents OF the
bag, he found, instead of gold coin, a
quantity of lead and iron worth about
fifteen cents. He then tried 10 find the
queen and her band, but they had dis.
appeared. Shortly afterward he died
of grief. One of Mr.. Pinkerton's men.
Detective Blake, was, however, FORUM
ate enough to capture the gypsy queen
about a year subsequent to the events
above narrated. She was found with
her band many miles from Redford's
residence, and nearly all of the stolen
gold was recovered

MOman's Tears

Stop this scientific business where it
is, and don't let it go any further. 1t is
robbing life of all that is worth living
for. Only short time ago one of these
scientific joskins analysed tear that
had trickled down upon the cheek of a
lady who wanted a new dress, and he
found it to contain phosphate of lime,
chloride of sodium and water. Ever
since reading that analysis we have lost
faith in tears, and no matter what a per-
son is believing about. we can only
look at the tears as they flow over
beauty's cheek and think of the phos-
phate of lime, chloride of sodium and
water. The Internal analysis has
knocked all the poetry out of tears for
us, and We feel as though we wanted
our money back. If the scientists will
refund what he has taken from US he
can have his old analysis. We would
like to throw him in a corner and Jump
on him. He has robbed us. Oh give US
bacE them other days, when tears were
tears and not chloride of sodium and
other nauseating drugs.
