The agony of anxiety to know when a
watermelon is ripe is relieved by a cor
respondent of the Washington. ID. c.
Star, who pins his faith to the following
rule:
The rinds OF melons, when left ON the
vines to mature, generally become hard
and the pulp brittle. Ii the melon be
gently pressed on and you hear the in.
side crack or give way, it may be re-
garded as a sure sign that the melon ma
tHred on the vine, and is good one.
Another good plan for selecting melon
is TO examine the side that lay on the
ground. If the melon lay ON the vine
until properly matured this portion
will be found to have changed from a
white to pale yellow, and, upon close
examination, numerous small pimples,
somewhat like the measles, as it were,
will be noticed on the surface, particu-
larly ON the outer edge. These pimples
may be regarded as a sure indication
that the melon remained on the vine
until mature, as they never appear on
those that have been prematurely pulled.
Sometimes the desired pale yellow is pro-
duced prematurely by turning this por-
ton of the melon to the sun for day or
two. In this case the yellow is apt to
be too deep. This fact, in connection
with the absence of pimples, will readily
tell the experienced eye how said color
was produced.

News From Orange.


The Santa Ana Herald gives the fol-
lowing interesting items from the fiour-
ishing settlement of Orange;
The Muscat grape crop of the settle
ment is exceptionally fine this season.
Large quantities have been shipped to
market, but there will be much larger
number of boxes of raisins put up this
season than last.
Mr.. Joel Parker who was thinking
Of putting out forty acres of apricot
trees, has changed his mind, and will
put 20 acres of French prune trees and
but 20 acres in apricots.
We understand that word was lately
received from wealthy gentleman in
Chicago, who owns a fine place in
Orange, to purchase $50 acres of land
for the cultivation of the French prune.
1t is expected that when this gentleman
returns from Europe this purchase will
be made, and the tract planted with
this profitable fruit.
The water has again been turned back
into the bitches of the s. A. V. l. Co,
1t has been used by the Anaheim Com.
pany for four days. All the water will
now be run this side of the river for
eight days. There is no permanent ar
rangement for the exchange of water.
There are now five and half heads
available for irrigation.
The laying of the 700 feet of 36-inch
concrete pipe across the Santiago creek
has been completed. Some carpenter
work remains to be done. This improve.
ment will save large amount of water
heretofore lost in the sandy bed of the
creek. 1t is apity the pipe system could
not gradually be extended 50 as eventu-
ally to embrace all the lands of the S. A.
V. |. Co.

In the case of Supervising Architect
Hill the report of the investigating COM
mittee will be submitted to the Secre-
tlry of the Treasury to-day. 1t is very
generally believed that the report will
be embarrassing" statement of Mr.
Hills shortcomings. 1t will be shown
that, for the past seven years, he has
been responsible for about three millions
of dollars of public money every year.
and therefore, it will be claimed he has
hal more to do than any one man ought
to have to do, and is not guilty as
charged. This is about as logical as
reasonable men expected the decision
would be.

Even after the cholera dies out in
Egypt, and the disease ceases as sud
denly as it appears, there will be dan
ger to other countries. Egypt exports
annually about six thousand tons Of
rags, and about one-third Of the amount
comes to this country. 1t is well known
that rags make the best vehicles in
which disease is transported, and no
rags will be imported from Egypt during
the present epidemic. But those fellahs
are economical and will keep all the bed
ding and the grave clothes now in use,
so that, after the disease has subsidized,
we shall see greater importation Of
Egyptian rags than ever. In common
deceacy the Egyptian government should
cause these rags to be burned, bu
whether it will do so or not is ques
ton.

IT seems that in the Australian col
onies also there is an objection against
the reception of assisted emigrants. /"
For some weeks great excitement has
prevailed in those colonies over rumor
that tho informers in the Phoenix Park
cases were to be sent thither. On the
arrival of the "Pathan" at Melbourne
a few days ago Kavanaugh, Joseph
Smith and Joseph Hanlan were found to
be among the passengers. The officials
OF the government would not allow
them to land. Such was the excitement
that, had they landed, the fate OF James
Carey would have been theirs also.
