How They We're Coiored.

heard such funny story from an
old man about how the darkies came
to be black. 1 hope you don't know it,
for hate to tell what is vulgarly
known as ''maroons." 1t appears that
before the deluge every body was
black. Noah, who knew that the end
of the world was coming, started out
one day to find spring that would
give his sons life and strength to go
through the trials that were before
them. When he found it they were as
much afraid to 60 in as was the En-
glishman when 'She' introduced him
to the pillar of fire. But at last Japhet,
summoning up all his courage, sprang
in and emerged from the pool a very
Apoll:- and a Caucasian. Shem, ell
courageo by his brother, then jumped
in, but to his establishment the water
had disappeared and only q few ripe
lemons were at the bottom of the pit.
These he rubbed all over his body, and
he came out a copper-colored Indian,
Ham, who by that time had become
brave, gave one Jump and landed at
the bottom on his hands and feet.
Exasperated at the disappearance of
the water, he put his lips to the ground
to suck up the few remaining drops OF
lemon juice; and SO it is to-day that
while the darkey is black, the palms Of
his hands, the soles of his feet and his
lips are the same copper-color as those
of the Indians. Toledo Blade.

revived the grass and were of benefit to
farmers in blowing. The early corn was

corn on low lands had been killed. The
spring wheat was almost complete fail

erage would not be over four bushels OF
seeded land. Considerable winter wheat
was being sown. If winter kills it corn
would be planted on the land.

No Shortage In the Orange Crop.

New YORK, Sept 29-The price Of
oranges and the supply are not likely to
be seriously affected by the fever in
Florida. Wholesale dealers at Washing
ton Market said this morning that the
State of Louisiana alone will produce this
year at least 800 boxes of oranges. The
supply from the West Indies is almost I'M
limited. The Mediterranean ports can
also be drawn upon. The whole crop
might fail in this country and yet the
market here would not be seriously
embarrassed. The total number of boxes
of oranges handled annually is estimated
at between IL, O0O, 900 and 49, 600.
