no CHOOSE AN ORANGE.

The very sweetest orange and richest
is the black OF rusty-coated fruit. Pick
out the dingiest oranges in the box and
you will get the best. Anc4' :. way to
choose oranges is by weight. The heav-
lest 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 hav-
ing so much skin Or because of the pow
erty of the juice in these particular
specimens. A slight freezing on the
tree causes this condition in otherwise
fine fruit. The "kid glove" oranges are
the two varieties of small fruit grown in
Florida from stocks respectively brought
from China and from Tangiers. They
are called " Mandarin" and Margarine.
They may be eaten without soiling
kid glove, because the skin is loose and
the little "gores" or pockets of juice
come apart very clearly and without
breaking. All the above applies to
Florida oranges. The Jamaica and
Havana oranges are much paler yellow
and their juice is usually OF more acid
nnality.- The Carterer.
PIINIsIs' CRAMP.
Certain functional diseases of the hand
and arm have been observed in pianists
nv Mr.. Vivian Poore. This cramp OF
the nianists he estimates to be eight
times as common as the cramp OF
writer's; and he finds especially liable
TO it those who practice with the wrist
continually held rigid. The symp'
toms are painful stiffness of the shout
der and OF the right arm, less frequently
of the left side, cramps OF the little
finger and the ring-fnger, sometimes
with trembling-this distressing condi-
ton often persisting after exercise with
the keys, and being brought back by
tho least exertion of hand or fingers.
Cold. sedentary habits, weakness and
predisposition to rheumatism and eout
increase the liability to it.-Arka'asaao

A man who was sitting ut the same

sAM SMALL'S BROTHER.
Why Did God Make SO Much outd~y
 Two women's Experiences.
Sam Small. Evangelist .7


 The proverbial philosophy of "Old Si, the venerable plantation darkey, who rave to the world through the medium of SmAH's pen maxims of worldly wis dom, clothed in a yerbiage of irresistible hupor, has found permanent place Tn humosous literature.
 - Great surprise was shown when it was announced that he, having been converted under the ministrations oi "Sam Jones'" would become an evan gelist.
 At first though, humorist in the pulpit seems incongruous. Is II really so?
 No doubt the mere buffoon attempting to turn mems hearts to solemn truths would meet with only contempt. But truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine humor frequently illustrates and fastens in the mind bits of wisdom that would otherwise pass unheeded.
 In his eulogy of Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Parker says: "Whenever he came among men, he brought June sun shine and music, and made even des- ponding and surly men feel that fuller and warmer summer, the Kingdom of Heaven itself was 'at hand" That IS genial christianity.
 NIT. Small belongs to witty family He has a brother connected with Armoy Kuox's and ''Fat Contributor s" Ieras S,ft;ags. a paper which has had pheno- menaI success in the field of humorous literature. NIT. Frank 4. Small is the prasent represetative of that popular naper in England, and, Ike his distln- ruisbad brother, he takes deep ln- terest in the welfare of other people.
 Under date of 4S Porten Road, hens- ingtou W. London, Eng, Sept. ?, lsof Le writes "While at Yalding in Kent yesterdav, l met Prof. :. Williams, Head Master of the Cleaves Endowed school. In the course of conversation about America. Professor Williams re- marked that Warmers safe cure had been of great benefit to his wife, who had been much troubled with a dlsordered ! liver. Warmers safe cure Ian American preparation) was all she had taken, and | she had experienced none of her old trouble for some months past. Mrs. Annie Jenness-Mlller, editor oi New York Dress, and a very popular woman in the fashionable world says m | her own magazine for October: War per's safe cure is the only medicine | eyer take or recommend. In every in stance it gives new energy and vitality to ali my powers" This distinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is "peculiarly effective"
 sam Small is likely to succeed as q moral teacher. When we remember how near together in human nature he l the fountains of laughter and of tears the deep effect his discourses must have nm the masses can easily be imagined.
 ssWhy did God make so much out doo,s 7'j exclaimed little girl. We know moi He has made it and we should grov in it, broad, charitable and genial judging everything by merit, not by pre- ! iudice.

 From my observations of the country and it's resources, you must have great future before you, and all you need i- men and money. Co develop it. l have noticed your efTcrts to induce the per- pie to assist you that you may share Tn ihe big boom now gOiog on vest of you. 1 would suggest the least expensive and quickest plan to TeArh the thousands east would be to write ID the cOun ) xnd send to some of the large papers n few cities. You certainly have more Go interest the traveller than RUy town DO the cpsst; your city is curiosity It. self, with its adobe houses, Mexleans lnGIans, burrOs. etc, the climate de- iightful in winter. Uni no hler roads for driving in the world, and slTFy- 8 'meth,ng new. In every direction you havo cattle, sheep and horse ranches, gold, silver and copper mines, snd E more cordial, whole-souled class of peo- ole never met. When yOu get tEr people there tFe st them we'll by giyins them something for theIr money in tue way of hotel fare, reasonable charges for living, and let the citizens give them some attention, and they will surely come again.
 No matter how much money a man has, he wants something n return for 1t. Itis a general complaint here snonR those who travelled last year, that they got very httle for their money great many times while on the CRlifornis trip can say truthfully that my stay ot few weeks in Tucson last winter was s' place We visited, and intend coming again.

Government Lands

Letters are continually arriving ask Ing the price of public lands, and some naEe e reqaee. tat agents secure houses for people who live ID Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. This arises from .he taet that people east are not informed ID The land laws, and shInk that oil that IS necessary ID taking claims is for the papers to be filed by sn agent. and then 'hey can pay out on the land the same as though the purchase was from private individuals.
 Any person except soldiers and sol diers heirs must make affidavit that they are acquainted with the land they are entering, and also make affidavit that to She best of their knowledge there IS no mineral on the same.

No person who quits or abandons his own land to reside on pubic land ID the same state or territory can pre-empt. Persons can however, take homestesds and timber claims whether he has tie three hundred and twenty acres or not; neither does the law prohibit his taking 6 homestead when he has left 6 residence on hiJ own land. The above only refers to pre- emptions.
 The first requirement in taking 6 pre- emption is to select the quarter section desired. and ascertain from she Land Office record that 1t IS vacant and sub ;ecl to entry.
