Will there Ever be a Permanent
Orange Glut?

England consumed in the wear 1885,
27O,606 boxes of oranges, each box con-
tanning about 700 oranges. In 1884 over
l,OOO, 200 boxes were imported. Those
who imagine the time is coming when
Florida will over-produce must be under
the impression the world is going to
stand still. We notice from the above
that the consumption has increased very
largely in England from 1885 to 1884.
Florida does not ship POO, 900 boxes per
year. When we can ship 100000 per
year we may anticipate the business be-
ing over done, if the population will only
stand at the numbers they are now, but
they will not, every hour there are little
mouths coming into the world who will
come along in due time to seek Florida
orange. In ten years from now four or
five millions such little mouths will have
become big enough to take hand at an
orange. Any man who hesitates to buy
grove or start one now must be under
an impression that we have reached the
climax, and the little mouths are not
coming along; 100000 more suckers
will require the same amount of oranges
every week
The more oranges we can raise the
larger will be the demand. A twenty acre
grove of 1890 trees put out now will pro-
duce 100000 oranges in ten years. That
would not supply New York City with
one orange to each person for the winter
A city of 100000 population would use
up the production of twenty acre grove
at IL oranges per year to each one of the
habitants.-OcGIG Banner.

restaurant, walked in, and sat down at
o table; but he had forgotten the name

A STORY OF HUGO.

During the days of Victor Hugo's
exile in Guernsey, an English lady,
who had for some time been living with
her family at st. Saviour, near the
centre of the island, missed her young
est son, an intelligent child of about
five years old. The boy, it afterward
appeared. had strayed from his nurse,
and, wandering aimlessly about, had
grown weary, and had quite contentedly
gone to sleep in the open air. Hugo,
on one of his solitary ra1Y les, found the
child just awakening. and recognized
him as the son of lady whom he knew
by sight, he hoisted him on to his back,
and, greatly delighted. cantered with
him across country to hia own home.
A storm came on, and it was decided
that the youngster could not be sent
back that night. A message, however,
allayed the mothers anxieties, and next
morning the boy was returned, together
with profuse apologies, many thanks and
ahuge basket OF flowers and fruit Upon
being asked how he enjoyed his unpre.
meditated visit, the child said, Every
much, indeed! NJ. Hugo played at
lions with me all the evening. He was
the lion-under the table. And, do you
know, once when he came out of his
den and growled, he pulled off the
table-cloth and broke ever so many
glasses. It was such fun!" It is not
given to every one to have played at
lions with the author of Les Miser-
ables."

People with very large noses may be
interested to learn that an English
doctor claims to have discovered a
method of reducing that organ. The
process, which he calls multiple punct-
form scarification," consists in rapidly
pricking the nose with q number of
minute double-edged steel blades fixed in
a handle. From 500 to 5000 punctures
are made at a sitting. and the operation
is performed every week or two for some
months; meanwhile the organ is kept
we'll anointed. At first sight the opera
ton does not seem attractive. but the
doctor says it g is not painful"

way, that concealed the depth OF his
feelings.
MY dear boy, you must look at these
things in common-sense light. Miss

Cambridge you are"
"What?"
"Well, you know very well, Allen,
that from a worldly point of view, you
are poor, like myself"

"Yes-if! That's just it" cried
Charley, springing up and pacing the
room with restless stride. women
Go not love now a-days-not with their

Allen looked up half quizically.
All, thought there was something
behind all this cynicism," he said.
=" You have been playing with the divine
fire again. You and your Dulcinea are
'out !"
Don't joke about it, Al. for heavens
sake! It's Il home thrust this time.
Three weeks ago thought my happi-
ness WAS assured. The woman I loved

for the merest trife, she has cast me

I'm sorry to hear it, Charley, and
hope it may prove q lovers quarrel.
But you must not expect me to share

It was while Allen was engaged with
this Client that the postman came in
and threw down thick envelope with
a graceful superscription that strongly
contrasted with the careless, dashing
style of his business correspondence.
Aliens heart bounded. His patience
hardly lasted until he was alone and
could open the letter. It was longer
than Miss Limbs notes usually were
two pages, beginning "My dear Mr..

"Your letter was really favor" she
said on the first page. "Seaton is a
pretty place, but horribly dull in winter.
I shall be glad to get back to Cambridge.
It was very kind of you to ask me to

Then the letter rambled on in pleas
ant way till the bottom of the fourth
page, there was complete break. The
second page did not go with the first

connected. Allen turned it over in be-
wilderment, and finally held it still and
read:

An OLD CASE RECALLED.
Another Suit Against the Farman Estate
Brings 1t Again to the Surface.

Suit was commenced yesterday in the Superior
Court by Lewis Wallace, against the Far,nan
heirs and others. to collect 81, 900 and interest
The death of Francis L. Farman, the probation
OF has last will and testament. and the proceed
ings supplementary are set forth, viz: The suits
between the claimants and suits Of attorneys
against the estate, and the final Judgment in
favor of Sprague and Bartholomew for $1,000
This judgment, it is stated, was assigned to
Wallace, and the complaint alleges that the real
estate IN the city, subject to execution of this
judgment. is going to waste and is neglected by
the heirs who have been collecting the said rents
and profits and that part realized by the non
resident heirs has been removed from
the State; that large part of the
property has been advertised for dein-
quent taxes that the apprasement made
on the property at the time of the levy made TO
satisfy the above judgment, before it was trans
ferred to Wallace was too high, and no pur-
chaser could be found for it, or any part thereof
that new appraisement should be ordered; and
that receiver be appointed for the rents and
profits by the conrt for the benefit of plaintiff
1t will be remembered that the former suits
by the heirs and PARTIES in interest under the
Will OF Farman Was quite sensational. Farman
was an Eneilshman and contractor. who came
to this country some years ago. with a child
Charles Frederick Farman, whom he at times
called nephew and son, and the conjecture then
was that Charles Frederick was the ilegitimate
son of Farman. Some years ago Farman be-
came jealous of his wife, accusing
her of infdelity and divorce was
granted him. The wife took her two
ehildren younger than Charles Frederick) into
Kentucky. Meanwhile Farman married again
at the time of the execution of the will Farman
was supposed to be worth 500 900, but at the
time of his death. by cont tracts and the apprecia
ton of values, the estate had increased in the
neighborhood of 500, 900. Under the will the boy
Charles Frederick, received the largest part of
the real estate, and the remaining legatees, col
lateral heirs, received share. Meanwhile
after the division, the first wife brought suit for
the benefit of her children, and the court held
that her children were legitimate and entitled to
share of the estate. compromise was then
arranged. The right of action of Wallace is as
assignee of the judgment of the attorneys
against the estate, who protected Charles Fred
erick's interests.

The Cost of the Saloons.

The Morton Club has caused a committee from
among its membership, of which Mr.. Worth
Merritt was the active member, to investigate
the expense imposed by the liquor traffic upon
the city, and to suggest way of deriving from
the saloons their proper proportion of tax. At
the meeting held last night Mr. Merritt made an
exceedingly concise report containing much in
formation that will be of interest to the general
public. By allowing the most liberal estimate,
from an unbiased stand point, the report states
that during the past year there have been
I,S43 arrests, either for drunkenness
crimes committed while the offenders were
under the influence of liquor or for violations
of the liquor laws, and the net cost to the city,
after making due allowance for the fines turned
into the treasury, bat including proportion Of
the police and stationhouse expenses. is So. :
ESQ 80. This includes the license of $52 each now
paid by the saloons. The report suggests that
the Council and Aldermen shall Immediately in
crease the amount of the tax from So to $780,
which power is granted it by the law 1t is
estimated that theaverage cost TO the city of the
saloons is 1858 year.
