Beauties Of an Orange Grove.

A Sandford Fla. correspondent Of
the New York EDen5ng Post says
There are several very fine orange
groves of from twenty to thirty years
growth IN the vicinity Of Sanford, the
Speer grove being the oldest. Ivisited
both that and the Doyle grove opposite.
and here obtained my first view Of an
orange orchard in full fruitage, the
trees on the lower st. Johns having
been picked before my arrival. Thers
is no more beautiful sight, unless it is
grove in full bloom. The trees are
planted in rows about thirty feet apart,
and at maturity attain a height Of
about thirty feet. They have green,
glossy leaves, and their branches are
simply loaded with the luscious golden
balls. The fruitfulness of the orange
tree think has net been exaggerated,
marvellous as are the tales told
in this respect. l saw one large
tree, thirty years old, that had repeat
edly borne 5000 oranges for its annua
crop, and these were worth from IS to
SO thousand on the ground also
saw many clusters of from twelve to
fifteen oranges each. and quite often
the lower limbs were so laden that
they bent to the ground, while the
level, candy floor beneath was strewn
with the fallen fruit. There are
lemon and citron trees in these groves
as richly laden as the orange. The
proprietor gave us the freedom Of the
grove; and you can fancy the luxury
Of it, sitting in the grateful shade,
though it was winter, and eating the
delicious fruit freshly plucked from
the bouphs.

A Reminiscence Of The War.

A breath of the war period stirs at
the mention of the name of Colonel
Harry Gilmor, ex-guerrilla chieftain
and free-lance Of the Confederate army,
who is now dying in Baltimore Of
necrosis of the jaw. The writer Of
this paragraph will not soon forget
being a passe- ger on an express train
from Washington to Philadelphia in
the summer of 1864, when the redoubt-
able colonel and detachment OF cav
airy captured the train just north Of
Baltimore, ordered the passengers to
leave it, took prisoners every man
wearing the Federal uniform, set fire
to the cars and backed them over a
long bridge Of trestle-work which they
had crossed a minute before, and
which, in its turn, was also soon
ablaze. Most Of the victims were
treated with the greatest con-
sideration, but the Union sol
diers on board, some of whom, poor
fellows, had been i'll with typhoid fever,
and were going home to convalesee,
were marched off to Richmond. The
contents Of the baggage cars received
thorough examination, and the
colonel soon cut droll figure by walk
ing nonchalantly among the prisoners
with large new toothbrush thrust
through buttonhole on the breast of
his coat. Considerable feeling on the
part Of the loyal passengers was
aroused by the affection displayed by
several Of the ladies, who hung upon
the necks of the Confederate soldiers,
and loudly declared their delight at
seeing them. Toward evening tug
boat came up and took the most of us
to Philadelphia, where those demon
strative women unfortunately soon
found themselves in the hands Of the
United States provost-marshal.-Har-

Wild Ducks Oddly Entrapped.

Wild ducks are more destructive to
grain this season than are the geese.
While the geese feed more or less dur
ing the day, the ducks confine their
depredations to the night, when the
darkness prevents the herders from
successfully waring against them.
Charles Chapman has been greatly an
noyed by ducks and his grain has suf-
fered to considerable extent. But
Charlie has hit upon an expedient that
is not only protecting his grain, but
threatens to annihilate the duck
family. He stretched five strands Of
barbed fence wire from the top Of his
barn to post twenty-five feet high,
placing the wires about eight inches
apart. A hair-trigger shotgun, loaded.
was fastened on the side of the post,
at the top, the muzzles pointing along
the wires. From one of the latter
small wire ran to the trigger of the
gun. This trap was set on Thursday
night Of last week. The wires were
only tRirty-four feet in length. About
2 o'clock A. NJ. Friday, Charlie was
awakened by the discharge of the gun.
Then followed a chorus of "quacks."
He went out. On the ground in the
vicinity of the wires he found twenty
three ducks; nineteen were dead, the
remainder crippled so that they couldn't
fly. Ten of the lot had been struck by
the shot from the gun. The remainder
had flown against the wires, the shock
killing them.
He reloaded the gun and put up one
of the wires which had been loosened
from the pole. Between and o'clock
the same morning he was again woke
up, but didn't go out. When he arose
in the morning he picked up thirty
seven dead ducks, making total of
sixty killed during the night. He was
in town Friday and told us that he in
tended erecting at least 500 yards of
the trap on his grain fields. The ex-
pertinent was suggested to him by re-
collections of the manner in which
prairie chickens killed themselves by
flying against the telegraph wires

About Turtles.

Of turtles there are two general
classes, those that have feet and are
known as land turtles, and those that
have fins or paddles and are known as
sea turtles. The green turtles, SO ia
nous for the soups which are (some-
times slanderously) attributed to them,
are found in the largest numbers in the
West Indies. Hundreds of men de-
vote their time to catching them and
shipping them to the markets. When
the turtles come ashore at night to lay
their eggs the turtle-hunters turn them
over on their Lacks by means Of stout
sticks. A turtle on its back is power
less, for it cannot regain its feet. Tur-
ties when turned upside down breathe
very hard, and as If with great
difficulty and pain. Some time
ago Henry Bergh instituted pro-
ceedings against Fulton mar
ket New York dealer under the cru
city to animals act, for keeping a
turtle on its back. 1t was claimed by
Mr.. Bergh that the turtle was unable
to breathe that way and was being tor
tured. It was shown, however. that
the turtles breathe in that labored way
all the time. After the mother turtle
lays an egg in thesand she goes off and
leaves it to the tender mercies of the
sun. AS soon as they are Matched the
young turtles have to look out for
themselves; they get no attention or
protection frem their parents. In fact,
they do not know who their parents
are. All turtles are foundlings. There
are numerous curious varieties of tur-
ties, from the leather-back turtle of
Massachusetts, bay to the elephant tur-
tie of the Galapagos islands in the
Pacific Oeean.-ProfeSsor' Bickmore.

Hairless.

Among the curiosities in Wilkes
barre, Penn, is hairless man. His
name is John Becee, the son of an old
and respected citizen. The hairless
man is known here as Badly" He is
about thirty-five years of age.
Eight years ago Badly" was the
hairiest man in the valley. There
were few BARRIERS in the town who
cared about shaving him. In fact, the
shops where 9 Badly" got his tonsoriaI
touches had the reputation Of having
the dullest razors. But Badly was
a victim Of scarlet fever eight years
ago, and for two months his physicians
gave up all hopes Of his recovery. He,
however, survived, and is now one of
the most healthy and robust men in
the valley. But Badly" is spared
the trouble of going to the BARRIERS, as
his crop of stubby beard and long hair
was blighted while suffering with the
fever. There is not single hair now
on his body.
A prominent physician Of Wilkes
barre will give any man $500 who can
find a single hair on Badly" even
with the aid Of magnifying glass.
Since his hair fell off "Baldy' got
married, and has now two children,
each of whom are blessed with luxu-
rant growth Of hair.
A stranger meeting the man in the
street would be attracted by his strange
appearance. He gazes upon objects
with wild, vacant stare; he is with
out eyebrows. Badly" is also some
what OF a pugilist. While Badly"
is deficient in hair he can boast of one
of the largest heads in the State.

Fish Tank on Wheels.

The Washington Star describes one
of the palace cars belonging to the
| United States fish commission which
started recently for California with a
passenger listof young fish numbering
$4,000. The car in its appearance, and
to large extent in its internal arrange
| ments, resembles a modern sleeping
car. There are the compartments at
each end. In the one compartment is
what may be called the Office of the
superintendent. Here is table fixed
between two seats, with a hanging
lamp above. The space above the two
ice tanks, which are built upon each
side Of the passageway and are used
when necessary to cool the air that
passes through the fish tanks in the
car, is utilized for pigeon-holes. The
compartment at the other end is used
| for kitchen. The central part of the
car has an aisle running through the
center, and. in place of the seats on
each side, are wide, wooden lodges
about three feet high, on which are
placed the tin fish tanks. Berths like
those in sleeping cars are along the
side, for the use Of the superintendent
and his assistants. The dining table
is placed in the aisle, with seats in the
ledges. The human passengers, as
well as the fish, live in the car.
The fish are not placed in the tanks
filed with water, as the motion of the
train would dash the water about and
destroy many lives among the young
passengers. Instead, about twenty
fish are placed in gallon tin pals and
these pals are put in the tanks and
then the latter filled with water. With
the carp, however, the water in the
pals is sufficient, and the motion of the
car tends to the circulation of air in
the water, keeping it fresh. The at
tendants, however, renew the water
every eight hours, and keep careful
watch to remove any fish that may
have died The percentage of fish
lost by death is, however. very small.
The fish do not complete their trav-
els when they leave the car. For in
stance, the first stop which was made
by this car was at st. Louis, where fish
were left for applicants residing in
Missouri and Arkansas. From this
point pals of fish were sent all over
the States by express, at the expense of
the consignee.

Pity the Poor Burglar.

1t is getting SO that even burglars
are seriously interfered with in the
practice of their profession. remarks
the genius of Peck'S Sun. A recent
invention is connected with safe, and
is SO arranged that when the burglar
touches the safe an electric light is
thrown upon the face Of the burglar,
and prepared plate inside the safe
door transfers the mans picture, 50 he
can be identified. If this sort Of
thing keeps on poor burglar viii
have to send an agent to burgle for
him, or he win get into trouble. The
life Of a burglar is becoming full Of
terrors. Not long ago woman whose
oom was being burgled woke up and
made the burglar stay to lunch and
listen to lecture on the wickedne5s of
his profession, and recently burglar
was surprised while going through the
residence Of an editor. and the editor
sat up in bed and insisted on the burg
lar playing him game Of seven-up
for his burglar tools, and the burglar
went away without his tools.
