An Orange Wrapping in Florida.

One night our party OF tourists went
to an "Orange wrapping" A large
warehouse belonging to the Wilkinson
place was lighted up with candles
placed along the walls, and al the
"help" of the neighborhood was gather
ed. In one corner of the room there
were huge boxes filed with oranges
They were rugged with handles at each
end. and it took two men to bring one
of them in. On the opposite side OF the
room were long tables, behind which
sat the wrappers" The fruit was sup.
piled to them by small boys, who car
ried it in bread-trays, putting tray to
every three men. Before each man was
a package of tissue paper. BY dex-
ferrous movement, an orange was envel-
oped in a leaf of paper by one motion.
As the fruit was wrapped, it was drop
ped into another tray, which was car,
ried to the packers" who stood before
pile of empty crates. Each orange
was placed in the crate separately, be-
ing packed in close rows. A crate holds
from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and forty oranges, and sells
here for about three dollars. The or
anges are not brought direct from the
grove to the packing house, but rest q
day or two in the drying house. There
they are spread over lattice shelves,
where they go through 80 sweating
process before they are ready for ship
mept.
The scene in the wrapping house was
a pretty one. The golden fruit piled in
rich profusion, the men and boys laugh
ing as they handled it SO rapidly, the
orderly crates with their tempting con-
tents, heap Of pine-apples in an odd
corner filling the room with their ex-
quisite favor, huge punches of bananas
with just feck of yellow here and there
amid the green, clean-looking lemons
almost as large as the oranges. heaped
off to themselves, great citrons with
their royal gold color, groups of boat
men and hunters with their swarthy
faces and picturesque attire. lending a
hand wherever it was needed, negro
with banjo stunning rude tunes to
which the crowd gave casual accompani-
ment, the ladies all watching curiously
and sampling an orange now and then
these were some of the elements that
made up the scene, the whole being
enlivened with the haste and hustle of
getting ready against the next days
boat, and having the fruit ready to go
out with the ship.

Waiting to See Him Off.

A country schoolmaster had two
pupils, to one of whom he was partial
and to the other severe. One morning it
happened that these two boys were late,
and were called up to account for it.

why did you not Gomez" "Please, sir"

I was going to Margate, and I thought
the school bell was the steamboat bell. /"

any pretext to excuse his favorite. "And

"what have you to say?' "Please, sir"
said the puzzled boy, IL was waiting

Writ and Webster.

Critics have classified Wirt's ''Life of
Patrick Henry" among the brilliant ro-
mances of biography. The distin-
guished author, while writing the
Life" found himself bothered The
facts were few, and even such as he had
collected were of doubtful authenticity.
He therefore called in the aid of his
imagination, and wrote one of the most
entertaining and unreliable of biogra-
phies.
On certain occasion Writ and Daniel
Webster were opposed TO each ether in
the trial of case. One of Wsbster's
witnesses gave such testimony as would
be likely, unless it were contradicted or
impeached, to settle the case against
Wirt's client. On beginning the cross
examination, Writ assumed a manner
Of incredulity, and asked the witness:
"Pray, Mr.. K, have you ever
read Baron MunchausenY" referring to
work noted for it's improbable stories.
Before the witness had time to reply,
Mr.. Webster rose and said:
81 beg pardon for interrupting you.
Mr. Writ, but there is one question
forgot to ask the Witness"
"Ask it now, sir" answered Writ, in
the blandest manner.
"Sir," said Webster, in his solemn
style, have you ever read Wirt's Life
of Patrick Henry?"
The court, jury and spectators burs

Ducks In the Farmers Dooryard.
Some farmers have an ample back
yard in the rear of their dwellings and
outhouses. for chickens, turkeys, guinea
hens, etc., and might add to their list
of fowls Aylesbury or Pekin ducks
without much trouble, and greatly to
their advantage. They do not need q
pond. A small vat or trough daily sup
piled with fresh water is sufficient.
Clean water and clean trough is good
for everything that has feathers, and
should be daily supplied to all the
fowls in the yard. A good flock of
large white ducks is ornamental among
other fowls, as well as profitable. They
give but little trouble. and usually are
healthy and prolific.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
A Pretty Flower Yard.

-
Now that the dismal winter is past and
we have once more the chance to cult
vate our floral treasures, little chat
about flowers may not be out Of place.
Laying out and arranging pretty
fower-yard requires certain amount of
artistic skill. Many and pretty are the
designs used by those who have abun-
dance of means to obt4in an attractive
as we'll as inexpensive fower-yard or
lawn of the more common varieties of
flowers is question with most of us.
Avoid all formality; that is, for ex-
ample, do not make bed just four feet
long on one side of the walk, with its
exact mate on the opposite side.
Shrubs or evergreens carelessly scat
tered about will have much prettier
effect than to set them by rule or line.
For brilliant display and variety of
colors, also for length of time in bloom,
nothing exceeds bed of portulaca.
No drought is too long or sun too hot
for, as Mr.. Wick calls it, "this little
salannander."
If you wish to make bed of snowy
ANIMALS, do not. as you value your repu-
tation for sanity, throw your seed into
the ground without regard to size or
color, but if you have round bed,
place the taller sorts in the center, then
the next in height, and SO down to the
dwarf or border plants. If long or
side bed is used, place the tallest kinds
in the back of the bed, or the side
furthest from view. Blend the colors,
and do not allow them to grow too
thick.
Euphorbia, sometimes called "snow
on the mountain" when grown in
clumps or masses, has very pretty
effect, with it's pretty white and silver
tipped leaves nodding in the breeze.
A stalk or two of ricinus in yard

Mr.. Blaine Gmpetuously addressing the
chairman -"This man has disgraced himself.
He has spoken for those who are behind him.
He has been put here to insult me. but he
cannot do so.
Representative Wilson proposed few cues
tons to Mr.. Blaine relative to the policy Of the
State Department, which gave Mr.. Blaine the
opportunity to reiterate his former state-
| ments that the policy of this government
toward the South American republics had
been merely peace policy, and no step was
ever taken or thought to be taken that might
in any way involve this government in anv
trouble with any other government.
Representative Kasson desired before the
adjournment of the committee to allude to the
colloquy which all must regret. He til upbt
the understanding of the committee was at
the commencement Of the colloquy that Mr..
Blaine in using the term ''untruthfullv''
meant to imply that the rendering of the dis
patch given by Mr.. Belmont did not truth
fully give its meaning, and did not intend to
imply the term extensively to Mr.. Belmont.
