Transporting Oranges in Bulk.

Oranges are now being moved from
Florida in bulk the same as potatoes.
The cars are piled about three feet deep
with oranges. Paper is run around the
sides of the car, and the floor is covered
with fine marsh grass. These carloads OF
loose oranges now come regularly TO
Baltimore from Orlando station, on the
South Florida Railroad. They have at
tracted much attention from Calvert
station where they are unloaded. This
new method of moving them does away
with wrapping in paper and excluding
the air as much as possible. Several
varieties come in a car, partitions of thin
board being put up. The last car TO
Baltimore contained Az, 600 oranges, and
had been six days making the trip. The
freight on the car was $l5j.-Baltim0rC

Cramps in the Leg.

Provide yourself with a good strong
cord. A long garter will do if nothing
else is handy. When the cramp comes
on, take the cord, wind it around the
leg over the place that is cramped, and
take an end in each hand, and give it o
sharp pull-one that will hurt little.
Instantly the cramp will let up, and the
sufferer can 90 to bed assured it will not
come on again that night. For the
permanent cure, give about six or eight
cells of galvanic battery, with the
negative pole applied over the spot that
cramps, and the positive pole over the
thigh. Give it for ten minutes, and re.
peat every week for a month. This j;
said TO be an almost infallible cure, and
it is certainly worth trial.-JourAal d

Doing Up Lace Curtains.

The cleansing of fine curtains in the
winter time is a very nice operation, and
one that few housekeepers have the cour-
age to attempt at home. The following
directions l carried out with tlattering
success:
Place the curtains in a tub of cold
water and allow them to remain for al
most an hour. Remove carefully, wiring
ing slightly, and again place them in
fresh cold water, where leave for three OF
four hours. Again wiring them care
fully, and stretching them across a clean
table, rub thoroughly with some pure
washing soap; roll up tightly and lay in
moderately warm water for full hour.
Then transfer them into very hot water,
| leaving them there not longer than ten
| minutes. Once more change into cold
water for few minutes. The next
move is into q moderately strong blue
water, where let them remain about five
minutes. Boil one half pound of starch
quite thick, fine -four quality; this will
be sufficient for three good-sized cur
tains. Dip the curtains into the starch
and wiring them very slightly. Then
stretch them Immediately over clean
sheets. Lay the sheets over thickly-
carpeted floor of a large room and pin
down the edges of the lace, drawing 1t
firmly, with extreme care. The pms
should be placed close together, so as tc
draw out the pattern. This may seem q
tedious process; but if the directions arc
faithfully carried out one will be amply
rewarded for the pains. The curtains
Ihould be left stretched across the sheets
antil thoroughly dry, and when the pins
are removed and they are lifted up, they
will be found to be snowy white and

HOW to Clean SILK.

For every quart of water required te
cleanse the silk pare and CRATE one large
potato in the water, which must be cold,
and let stand for two days without dis
turbing it. Rain water is preferred
when It can be obtained. Pour of the
clear liquor into large vessel and dip
the silk up and down in it until it IL
thoroughly saturated. Do not wiring 1t,
but letit hang where it can drip. When
nearly dry lay it f at on the table and rub
It with linen cloth, first on one side
then on the other. If necessary to press
it place it between flannel and use
moderate iron. Detroit Free Press.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

did God create woman subordinate to
mani" asks preacher at Salina. That
depends. If the inquiry is directed to the
editor of the Wichita EAGLE, yes; if to
Mrs. Laura NJ. Johns, president of the
Equal Suffrage association, No! !!-Kansas
City Star.
Beg pardon. Instances have come
under our observation where woman
was subordinate to a brute, but to a
man, never. The inspired word informs
us that ''God created man in His own
image, male and female, created He
them," and both being in His image
neither could be brutes, nor the one
subordinate to the other. If there is any
rule of subordination it must be
mutual one, and not one sided, not the
angel to the brute. This is not to say
that Laura Johns is exactly an angel;
however, we do not deny that she is pretty
and pitite enough to look like one; but
Laura wants to vote, and angels don't
vote. Having thus disposed of the
preacher, the brute and the angel will
the Star be kind enough to cease mis-
representing US on the woman question
by intimating that we entertain minor
estimate of woman when the exact
reverse is true.

Atchison Champion.
Our sincere friend, Colonel Murdoch,
of the Wichita EAGLE, Judging from a
recent editorial on that subject, does not
take much stock in the idea of the res
toration of traffic on the Missouri river.
He is not opposed to the annual appro-
priations for the improvement of the
river, but IN good natured way he dis
parages the feasibility of Its navigability.
The colonel desires us to kindly notify
him when the steamers begin to ply
again, and he will come up and take a
trip. We shall certainly comply with
this request and that before very long,
and as we sit beside him on the upper
deck of one of the many boats that will
glide up and down one of the grandest
waterways in America. we shall take
pleasure in not only contrasting the
picturesque beauty that greets the eye on
both sides of the old stream with that of
his own Arkansas, but we shall endeav-
er to impress upon him the decided ad-
vantage Missouri river cities have in the
matter of proximity to the commercial
centers of the country, over his own
wonderful town.

KANSAS CITY AS A TEACHER TO
WICHITA.

A great number of phrases and idioms
| have been conceived and coined to ex-
press the idea sought to be conveyed by
the words 'cheek and ''gall," but no in
choation of words yet evolved from the
inventive brain OF the century now clos
ing could prove equal to the spectacle of
a Missouri paper attempting to inculcate
moral ideas in Kansas, as applied to the
science of civil government. The devil
in Offering the kingdoms of the world to
Christ set up no claims to ownership,
but simply cited the fact that they were
big things worth having, yet down the
corridors of all the ages has come ring
ing along one continued guffaw at the
impudence of his satanic majesty on the
occasion referred to.
The Times, of Kansas City. Missouri,
in its Saturdays issue, in advising Wich-
tia Republicans to vote the Democratic
ticket, goes on to announce that the
EAGLE is other than it reads, and that
its editor, inferentially, Of course, be-
lieves morality to be farce and whisky
more to be desired than soberness and
truth. This exponent of the Missouri
standard does not exactly say that re-
ligion and temperance are to be Stunned
but dweils with loving expression on the
benign influence of ''liquor regulation"
The willy size of it is this: There is
but one Wichita, but that Wichita is
one too many for the comfort of one
Missouri city who sees chance to place
her coming Kansas rival in position Of
antagonism to the powers of the state
by turning it over to the Democratic
party, in which event Wichita would lose
her political influence and prestige and
proportionally her chances for greatness.
Nobody knows better than does the
editor Of the Times that Wichita becomes
a CIPHER with the dominant party of
this state and with the Kansas dele
cation in congress, the moment the
city and county have been declared
Democratic; and, only from the convic-
ton that such an attitude would pro-
portionally weaken Wichita, does that
paper urge Republicans of this city to
stand by the Democratic ticket, and in
furtherance of which scheme it tells the
world that the editor of the EAGLE talks
what he does not believe. Along side
of the impudence of the thing the much
abused cheek of the government mule
holds the sensitive seeming of a new
born blush, the surplus gall contained in
the tankard of a mastodon-saurus not to |
be mentioned the same day.

Society Leaders at the Canital.

During the incumbency of Mr.. Cleye-
land IN the presidential Office, the vice
president was not very important
factor socially. Mr.. Hendricks died SO
early in the term that Mrs. Hendricks
had not time to do much. Mrs. Ed
munds, the wife of the first president
pro tenn of the senate, was in i'll health
and could not entertain extensively.
Mrs. Sherman, while her husband pre-
sided over the senate, gave weekly re-
ceptions. Mrs. Ingalls,, whose husband
succeeded Mir. Sherman, boarded, and
contented herself with receiving her
friends informally once a week. All
this is to be changed this winter. The
vice president. Mr. Morton. is man of
immense wealth. His wife is clever,
handsome, and has been a power in
New York society for years. Mr.. Morton
has bought the hoase, formerly the
home of Alexander Graham Bell. the in
ventor of the telephone; for it he gave
over 100000. He remodeled and re-
furnished it, and it will be the seat of
the most generous hospitality while

reflection in the water. 1t is not posi-
BILE for the people of Leavenworth county

sion must come, if at all, through the leg
islative and executive authority of Kan
sas. So long as Leavenworth county
gives Democratic majorities she cannot
expect to have influence with our state
executive or with the legislature. They
are Republican, elected by an over
whelming majority of people to carry
out a policy that is opposed by the Demo
Gratis, 1t is not good sense to expect
them to be influenced by Democratic
