Hosr to Choose on Orange.

The very sweetest orange and the
richest Is the black or rusty-coated fruit.
Pick out the dingiest oranges in the box,
and you will get the best. Another way
to choose oranges il by weight. The
heaviest are the best, because they have
the thinnest skin and more weight Of
juice. Thick-skin oranges are apt TO be
dry; they either weigh less because Of
having 90 much skin D because OF the
poverty Of the juice in these particular
specimens. a slight freezing on the
tree causes this condition in otherwise
ine fruit. The .tkid-gloyea oranges are
the two varieties Of small fruit grown in
Florida from stocks respectively brought
from China aud from Tangiers. They
are called mandarin and ssTangerine.' y
They may Be eaten without soiling q hid.
glove, because the skin Is loose and the
little ssgoresn d pockets of juice come
apart very clearly and without breaking.
All tho above applies TO Florida oranges.
The Jamaica and Havana oranges are
much paler yeilow, and their juice i
usually d more acid quality than the
homegrown oranges.

Sunday Night In Stockholm,

AT n1ght-especially Sunday night
the scene is almost more animated, still
harder to find in any part of the world,
says Charles w. Wood, in the Argosy,
writing of Sweden. Quays brilliantly il,
Illuminated, the electric light shining out
in dazzling contrast with the feebler gas
lamp. If the king is not in residence.
the palace itself is dark and closed. The
old houses on those rocky and more dis
tant heights reflect a myriad CLEANS.
Every window seems an illumination.
From pleasure gardens on yonder hill
rockets shoot up and break into a thous-
and many-colored balls, dying out like
meteors in the darkness. Smaller fire.
works blaze up for a moment, and in their
turn expire. Fer it is Sunday night, and
the Swedes arc at their f~avorite amuse-
nent.
The water is one scene of flashing
lamps, green, red and white. Too dark
to see the steamers, you may trace their
courses by these lights; courses so silent
that the CLEANS seem to possess n sepa-
rate and independent existence. Gigan-
tic f~irefies, will-o'-the wisps, fitting over
the winding surface of the water. A
scene of enchantment, beautiful and in
teresting, only to be rightly viewed and
enjoyed from one of the upper windows
of the Grand Hotel. This alone is worth
a visit to Stockholm; would tempt you
some day to repeat it. Windows open
to the dark blue Summer sky, the in
tense heat and glare of the day succeeded
by a restful darkness and Il cool, refresh
ing breeze, you may sit and gaze and
muse for hours and never tire. The
scene has neither WEAKNESS nor monot-
ony.
Before the hotel, on the other side of
the water, under the very shadow of the
palace, are pleasure gardens, with just
sufficient ILLUMINATION to keep your foot
steps from stumbling and permit poor
deluded mortals to gaze into each others
eyes. Here crowds sit in the evening
cool, slipping harmless beverages at small
round tables, under bowery branches, on
a level with the river, able to watch the
lights of the boats darling to and fro
whilst listening to the music of an or
chestra composed of boys.
These strains are sufficiently distant
to disturb your meditations and en-
joyment of the scenes. As to. the gar
dens themselves, distance lends them
.cnchantmcnt. A closer acquaintance
shows up their atmosphere as frivolous
and unpleasant, curiosity is quickly salts
fed, and you are glad to escape.

CustS,sg Mahoauau IN Mea,ico,

In Mexico the season for cutting ma,
hogany usually commences about August.
Gangs Of Indian borers are employed,
consisting Of two to fifty each, under the
direction Of captain. Each gang has
also d cazador, or "huntsman,' y whose
duty it Is to search the trackless forest
for suitable trees to be felled, and to
guide the wood cutters to the places.
The felled trees OF o single season are
scattered over 50 wide q space that miles
of roadway have TO be made to reach
them, and numerous rude bridges con
structed ove the rivers that lie in the
way. All the larger logs have to be
sasquaredn before they are brought away
% rude wheeled trucks along these for
est roads. Each truck requires seven
pairs Of oxen, and the work could be
much more expeditiously done by. our
portable railway and plantation engines.
Tbs Implements used BY the Mexieans in
this trade are rude and insufficient, large
quantities of timber being often spoiled
by their iasuificieney, combined with the.
ignorance of the workn1en employed

Than dreadful terror of a dog begun.

But, though a dog, its soul had no r~elease,
For fear some tiger might disturb its peace,
Into g tiger next the beast was made,
And still twas pitiful and sore afraid;
Because the huntsman might, some illstarred
day,
Happen along and take his life away.
Them said the Wizard, turning to his
house,
sYou have a mouse's heart-now be a mouse. /"
It's so with men; no earthly help or dover

No art can make a lion from a mouse.

The Lost Tribes OF Israel.

A proclamation was lately issued by
the Ameer Of Afghanistan which brings
forward one of the most curious riddles
in history; the disappearance of the ten
lost tribes of Israel. Ethnologists and
antiquarians have followed every trace
Of these vanished nations with the ardor
Of slcuth-hounds on a trail.
There is hardly a race in Asia, Europe
or America that has not at some time
been proved to be descended from the
lost Israelites. Chief among these are
the Chinese, the Mongol Tartars, the
japanese, the Cossacks, the Gypsies, and
| the American Indians. Even the Saxons,
through whom bluff John Bull and Puri-
tan New England got into the world,
have had, and still have, their supporters
is to this mysterious claim A library Of
learned tonnes has u, ii written on this
single question.
The Afghans in feature strongly re-
semble the Hebrews, but they hold them
EAIM $3.50 E
selves aloof from the modern Jews, of
whom there are large numbers in the
kingdom. The Afghans call themselves
Benz Melik Talut, Of Sons Of Saul,
and the legend Of their origin is that
when David took possession OF the throne
Of Saul, that Kings grandson Afghan,
a giant in size and strength, established
himself in the mountains of Persia, and
Afterwards in the country now know
Afghanistan.
Sir William Jones. the great antigua
rian, examined the proofs Of this story and
gave it credence.
The Ameer's recent claim is of interest
to the Hebrews and others who attempt
t interpret the ancient prophecies, as
many Of them hold the belief that the
Hebrew race will all be gathered again
into the Holy Land, and that immedi-
ately before this restoration the ten lost
tribes will be discovered somewhere in
the n~eighborhood of Afghanistan. It is,
il any case, 4 curious question, involving
the descent Of a race through the most
mysterious regions of history.-Youtb's

J0nanese Life Boat.

In Poland some families are born and
die in salt mines, without ever living
above ground, and in Japan some Are
born ard die in the same way on boats,
without ever living on shore. One of the
most interesting features of japanese life
to me, says a recent traveller there, was
the manner of living in the boats and
junks, thousands of which frequent every
bay along the coast. The awkward junks
always belong TO the members of one
family, aud usually every branch of the
family, young and old, live ON board.
The smaller sail-boats arc made like a
narrow fiat-boat, and the sail Ghey never
have but one) is placed very near the
stern, and extends from the mast about
the same distance In either direction: i. g.,
the mast runs in the middle Of the sail
when it is spread.
In these little boats men arc born
and, die without cver having an
abiding place on shore. Women and
all are nearly naked, except in rains,
when they put on layers of fringy straw
mats, which give them the appearance
of being matched. At night, if in har-
Dor, they bend poles over the boat from
side to side in the shape of a bow and
cover them with this straw-water-tight
straw-and go to sleep all together like a
lot of pigs.
A child three years old can swim
like a fish. and often children who
will not learn of their own accord are re-
peatedly thrown overheard unit | they be-
come expert swimmers. In the harbors
children seem to be perpetually tumbling
overheard, but the mothers deliberately |
pick them out of the water, and cutting |
them a little, go IN with their work. 1t
is really astonishing at what age these
boys and girls will learn to scull a boat.
] have seen a boat more than twenty feet
long most adroitly managed by three chill
dren all under seven years of age. I am
told that notwithstanding their aptness
at swimming, many boatmen g~etdrowned,
no boat ever goes to another's aid,
nor will any boatman save another from
drowning, because, as he says, it is all
fate, and he who interferes with fate will
be severely punished in some way. Be
this, the saving Of a boatman's life
keeps a chafng soul s. much longer
~purgatory, when it ought to be releas-
ed by the death Of the sailor whom the
gods, by fate, seem to have selected for
The purpose.
