How Cocoanut Shells are Colored, Ground
and Favored,

Wooden nutmegs are things Of the
past, young man." said an east end gro.
Ger, to reporter. They have been SUPER
seded."
"What has taken their place?'
"Just step around the counter here
and I'll show you. Do you see that box
of spices? They look very nice, don't
they? Just smell 'em. They smell very
strong, don't they? Now taste them;
they taste good, too, as spices do. Well,
young man, what do you think of EN-"
From all appearances l should say
they were fair lot of spices"
"That is just where your judgment
falls shorS. They are not spices at ALL"
"What are they then ~
Just ground cocoanut shells, favored
with spice extracts. The difference in
color comes from burning the shells.
Why do keep them? Because people
want them. OF course they are a fraud
from beginning to end. But they are
cheap, and people want cheap spices,
just as they want everything else cheap.
Large quantities are manufactured, and
shipped all over the country. They are
sold as genuine spices, but any grocer
with particle of sense, knows from the
price they cannot be the real article. You
see, they look, taste and smell like the
Simon pure, but put them in food and
you will soon see the difference. They
do not flavor. A drop of Glove extract
will smell stronger than twenty pounds
of cloves, but think the twenty pounds
will flavor more hot runs, don't you?"
"You have no idea of the ingenuity
that is used in getting up these and other
limitations. The best chemical knowledge
is employed. What do you think of
stamping out whole peppers and cloves !?
1t is done, though. Young man, the
general grocery trade is extending. With
glucose for sugar, oleomargarine for but
ter, cheese innocent of milk and coacoa-
shell spices, it is becoming big bust
ness"

FLORIDA ORANGES AND LEMONS,

The successful cultivation of oranges
and lemons in Florida is causing a reduc-
ton i'll the quantity of those fruits i'm
ported from foreign countries and bids
fair ere long to render further importa-
ton unnecessary and Improbable. \
writer in the New York J0ur1dL Of COM
merce on the fruit trade predicts that the
product Of the orange groves of Florida
in single decade will be sufficient to
supply the whole United States with an
abundance of fine oranges. About 200,-
600 boxes and barrels of oranges were
shipped TO New York this season from
Florida, and found ready market, and
about 300, coo boxes and barrels of
oranges We're distributed through the
West, South and Southwest from the
same source The trade in West India
oranges the past year proved both unsat-
isfactory and Improbable.
The Jacksonville Union quotes a lead
ing orange shipper of that city, who ex-
hibitcd one order for 600 boxes of oranges
at S. box, as saying: - We cannot be-
gin to supply the demand for oranges.
Next year the crop will be vastly greater

of filling pressing demands. This year
We lost a great deal Of fruit by delay in

4 TRUE STORY BY MISS AMELIA THRoP.

Phoebe RICHARDSON was the daughter
of Mr.. John RICHARDSON, highly-esteem-
ed citizen of the town of p, in the
State of Pennsy lvania. He had two
lovely daughters, of whom our heroine
was the youngest. She was Of medium
height, possessing graceful, symmetri-
cal figure. Her eyes were of a deep vio-
let color, which sometimes perplexed her
admirers as to their real color, shading
from blue to black between their long
silken fringes; her complexion livaled the
lily in its fairness, whilst the nose was
well shaped, and her mouth tempting
as rose bud. The dark waving chestnut
hair adorned in profusion her well-sbaped
head. The greatest charm, perhaps about
our sweet young friend was that her
beauty, by which others were so fasci-
mated, appeared to be unknown to her.
self so unconscious was she of her gre at
gift. There was a tinge of melancholy
in her lovely eyes, and the same percep-
tiblc in her manner, which was mys-
terry to her friends, for there were few
more favored by nature or fortune than
she. No wonder it occasioned surprise.
surrounded as she was with the choicest
of earthly blessings, kind parents who
idolized her, an elder sister by whom she
was fondly loved, a comfortable home. and
possessing form and face of bewitrh-
ing grace. However, there was a ro-
nance connected with her young lie,
which was destined to throw a shadow
over her bright sun.
Near her home resided Mr.. Wentworth
friend and neighbor, who was highly
esteemed by Mr.. Robertson. The two
families were the warmest of personal
friends. Mr.. Wentworth had an only
son, Frank, handsome, noble hearted
boy, greatly beloved by all who knew
him for his intelligence and many good
traits of character. He was number OF
years her senior, but her kind friend and
companion, the society of one appearing
indispensable to the other. And many a
friend takes pleasure in narrating little
incidents connected with the lives OF
these little happy lovers. especially OF
their Kindness and consideration for the
sick and suffering. To these they were
frequent visitors, taking with them pres
ents of apples, or cherries, or newly in
vented games, these little Samaritans
being too noble hearted to think only OF
their own happiness. Frank regarded
Phoebe with the most ardent admiration
to him she was his guiding star, hi:
queen: whilst on the other hand SHE
looked up to him with the greatest re
spect, and was considerably influenced
by his strong will and genius. So the,
grew up, the sunny hours of CHILDHOOD

FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

Flattering Prospects of it's Early Conn
mencement and Completion.
New YORK, June S.-The Florida ship
canal and transit company held meeting
to-day, presided over by Hon. John C.
Brown, of Tennessee. Highly encouraging
reports were heard from various commit
tees, and the feeling of confidence IN the
success of the enterprise was very marked.
General Charles j. Stone, chief engineer,
was presented. He stated he had sz-
amined fully into the reports of previous
engineers, and he entertained no doubt of
the feasibility of constructing tide water
ship canal across the peninsula of Florida.
He also stated that his assistant engineer,
A. F. Hill, is already on the ground in
Florida, and that the actual work of the
survey will begin Immediately. The survey
will be completed in about six weeks and
as soon as the exact route of the canal is
determined upon, contracts will be lst and
work be pushed with all possible vigOY.
1t is thought work will begin by Septem-
Der. General Stone has had large experien-
ces in Egypt in connection with the Suez
canal. Leading capitalists of this country
and England are eager to furnish funds re-
quired for the construction of the canal.
1t is we'll understood here that the canal
will have the backing and friendly CO.
operation of the great Texes and Arkan-
sas system of roads, with connection rami-
flying throughout the southwest and
extending through to the Pacific. General
Stone expects to be in Florida in two
weeks.

although there is more doing than

help to products, being quiet and some
what easier. There were $4,000 animals
received at the stock yards to-day and the
receipts for the week will be about $4,000
head against 106,563 for the same week of
1882. Pork was quiet and averages lower,
selling off 15c per bbl. early, but reacted

of 5@74c. A light business was transact
ed in lard, and the market averaged easy,
although closing rather steady at about
Thursdays prices, the feeling favoring
lower figures in options beyond July. In
the absence of demand values were held up
by the bull clique who did not dare permit
decline. In the afternoon pork was in
little better demand, and brought about
PIC more than at 1 o'clock. Lard was
moderately active and prices were well
maintained.

WASHINGTON, June s. The civil service
commission expect to inaugurate the hum
buggery of competitive examination on
July 20 in all the principal cities where
the parties have been selected to conduct
them, to continue until August s. AS far
as is known not single Democrat has
been selected as an examiner in any of the
cities which come under the operation of
the law. A Democrat applicant can,
without a magnifying glass, figure out
what chance he has to get an Office with
such an outfit. Eaton, the father of the
bill, which he saddled on Pendelton to per-
petuate the Republican party in Office
without day, finds it necessary to
write daily a letter yard long defend
ing his position.
NOT A PROPHET.
The Star says: eff Mr.. Henry Waiter
son has any desire to maintain a reputa-
ton for accuracy in the field of political
prophesy, he had better hedge on his pre-
diction that Randall will not get ten votes
for speaker, from the South. More than
that number of Southern members are
openly advocating and working for Ran
dalI's election. This is stated simply as a
political fact, and not with a view of
booming Mr.. Randall or of detracting
from any of his rivals"

ing the duty on wool which has for it's OBJ
ject the placing of those engaged in the
great wool interests of the state
is farce on its face, and
serves to show how even statesmen
as great as senators lend themselves, to the
task of hoodwinking the speople. First
the $4,000 wool growers of Ohio ought to
know that the duty on wool was reduced by
Republican, not Democratic votes. The
duty was fixed by committee on behalf
of the two houses upon which Ohio had
two representatives, John Sherman in the
senate and VIM. MeKinleyiin the house.
The tariff bill with wool duty reduced re-
ceived the votes of John Sherman and
every other Ohio representative in the
house, with the exception of Robinson, of
Kenton. Had the Ohio representa-
tives either in the conference COM
mittee or in the house stood
solid against any reduction, it
wouldn't have been reduced. The wool
growers of Ohio might as we'll make up
their minds for the reason given that the
Republican party is absolutely powerless
to help them. They are indebted to the
publican party fer the plight in winch
they now find themselves and the only
relief they ca n expect must come from
the Democratic party. The third plank
the Republicans Of Ohio put on their plat
form is only to pull wool over their eyes
The Republican party in its national as
well as state organizations will fight to
keep the existing tariff just where it is,
and against any special bill for relief,
through fear it will reopen the entire sub
iect which they do not want.
