Origin Of the Blood Orange.

The blood orange is mere variety
of the sweet orange obtained by
cultivation. and appears first to have
been raised by the Spanish gardeners
in the Philippine Islands. from the
capital of which (Manila) it. together
with the well-known cigars. formed
at one time one of the chief articles
of export On its first appearance In
Europe it excited q considerable
sensation; and, in the last century.
very high prices were demanded for
the trees which bore the wonderful
fruit. None. however, now come to
us from Manila, our supply being de-
rived almost entirely from Malta.
where great pains and attention are
bestowed upon their cultivation. It
was for q long tine supposed. and. in
deed. the idea is not yet quite extinct.
that blood oranges were produced by
the grating of the orange with the
pomegranate; but there is not The
slightest foundation for this belief

Good ToreadOrs Can Command . Fortune
In the Ever Faithful Isle.
The older love of the Cubans for
bull-fghting is on the. wane. Undoubt-
eddy bull-fghting is still fascinating
sport for the Old-timers, but there has
been such a succession of clowns in the
bull-ring during the past ten years that
they have practically killed the sport
When great, bull-fghter turns up in
Cuban event which happens about
once in four or five years-he is lion
lied to a wonderful extent for a time.
but there is every indication that bull
fighting as national sport has seen its
best days in Cuba often wonder
what has become of Mazzanini. who
went to Cuba from Spain and fell vio-
lently in love with Sara Bernhardt tho
day that he arrived in Havana. Sara
and he were inseparable during the
stay of the French actress in
Havana. Wherever the bull-fighter
went enormous crowds followed him.
The conjunction of the French actress
and the hero of the ring was almost too
much for the sight-seers. Mazzanini
was remarkably handsome man and
he won his way into the affections OF
the people by his amiability and good
nature. He was paid $50. 900 and all
his expenses for a four weeks tour
through Cuba and Mexico. When it
came to the actual business of bull
fighting. however, he proved himself
more or less q muff. The bulls were
SO tame that they excited his derision
and he expressed his contempt in pam
tomime to the populace. The populace
grew sulky and refused to attend the
bull-fghts. Then Mazzanini went to
Mexico, where he also expressed his
contempt for the bulls and the place
generally with rather tempestuous re-
suits. The people pelted him with
chairs, benches and every thing else
they could lay their hands on. and then
shot at him casually as he rushed out
of the ring.

Havana, but the bull she was to fight

CHINESE IMPLEMENTS

ally two or three? They thresh yet

tossing the grain into the air. For
q harrow they use hoe. and every
thing else about the farm is On q SINH
lar scale. The nation is largely COM
posed of farmers. and there ought to
be splendid market there for Ameri-
can implements. One great obstacle
in the way, of course, is the conserve
tive spirit of the people and another
their extreme poverty; but if they
could once be walked up to the posi-
bilities that lie in the use of decent
farming tools the magnitude of the

repay the pioneer manufacturer who
risked some money in the endeavor.

Enormous Fortunes.

Notwithstanding the enormous fortunes
accumulated through the use of printers
ink, large sums Of money are annually
wasted IN Intellectual and unremuner alive
advertising.
The merits Of really valuable commodity
properly portrayed in the columns Of an in
auentlal and widely read newspaper, like
this, will speedily become generally known
and appreciated, while the returns reaped
by the advertiser will be like those Of the
wise husbandman who PLANTED his seed in
good ground, wherein it bore fruit and
brought forth, some an hundred fold, some
sixty, some thirty"
The wording OF an advertisement ID an
all-important matter.
Clearness, attractiveness, brevity and sin
certify must characterize any announcement
intended to catch the public eye and appeal
to public confidence. An advertisement in
serted in a London journal few days ago
brought instant and multitudinous replies
accompanied by an almost unlimited sup
ply Of bank notes, simply because it
touched the chord of nature which makes
all mankind akin. Its simple pathos and self
evident truthfulness appealed to every
heart.
The advertiser sought Tor lost relative,
and, giving his name, said: 81 am ill and
friendless. My last half crown is expended
In paying for this advertisement. Write me
st'-(glving the address). As already
stated, nearly every one who read the an.
nouncemeht FASTENED to relieve the necessi-
ties of the sufferers real sufferer in this
case, though many swindles are perpe-
trated in the divine name of charity.
Thus it is with q really meritcriods COM
modify or preparation; if its virtues be
properly and truthfully set forth in the pub
lie press, its success is prompt and certain.
On the other hand, the public is quick and
unerring to detect deception and charlat-
anry and, accordingly, no amount Of puff
cry" will force . vile nostrum into public
esteem and patronage. Untold sums have
been sunk in vain efforts to advertise into
popularity so-callef medical preparations
which did not possess the virtues or proper
ties claimed for them.
Valuable medicines, however, like War
ner's Safe Cure and Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, carry their own best common
datiou in their power to esTe the p irticular
diseases for which they are specific.
They require no labored panegyric to con.
vince the people of their power and efficacy,
for they have been tried and found perfect.
Natures remedies, by their own intrinsic
merits have conferred lasting voon upon
mankind, and they have secured an enviar

HUNTING THE LION.
An Englishman's Encounter with the
King Of Beasts.

King Of Beasts.
Suddenly, while the noness charged
down upon US along the ledge. her
consort, with one mighty bound,
cleared the gully. alighting in the very
midst of the Arabs at its brink, and.
for the moment, carrying all before
him. We aimed carefully this time as
the lioness sprang upon US, and both
our bullets took effect; but it needed q
second dose of lead out of our breech-
leaders to stretch her lifeless at our
feet We then fastened to the assist
ance of our allies What a scene met
our eyes. Bleeding profusely from
many wounds. but as yet far from dis
abled, the furious male was making
sad havoc among the crowd. Crack
ing skull there with one
mighty sweep of his paw and
smashing a shoulder with another.
he had already strewn the ground with
slain and wounded as we drew nigh to
finish him with our rifles. At that
very moment the spearmen were like
wise upon him. While he was scatter
ing his assailants in front, more and
more men had drawn near from be-
hind, and half a dozen lances were
now plunged into him simultaneously,
bearing him to the ground at last.
The short but fierce struggle was over.
Our terrible antagonist lay breathing
his lase1 with his victims around him.
He had killed five Arabs outright and
wounded fourteen more, among whom,
to our great regret, was the young
hero of the day, the same brave lad
whose perilous exploit we had adj
mired so much. A great broad cash
from neck to shoulder will henceforth
bear witness to his proves in the eyes
of the whole tribe.
We were publicly thanked by the
chief for our modest share in the glory
of the day, and he informed us later on
that he deemed victory cheap at the
price. considering that thirty or forty
victims often fall in such encounters.
Two young cubs, scarcely six months
old, were found inside the cave half
smothered by the smoke. We after
ward learned that they bad been sent
to Algiers for sale, and, for all we
know, they may now be inmates of
some geological garden or menagerie.
Our work was accomplished. Probably
for many years to come the tribe would
be exempt from similar infection. With
high hearts we held our triumphal
entry into the village, amid shouts Of
victory blended with death walls, and
with lamentations over the many
wounded. Our young hero of the fire
met with his reward. They carried
him along in triumph, as he lay on his
roughly improvised coach, faint from
loss of blood, but elated with the con-
seriousness of his achievement, no
mortal could have been happier than
he. The whole tribe, young and old,
paid grateful homage to him as he lay
there, for '.honor to whom honor is due''
remains the rule with these unsophis-
ticated sons of the wilderness, and
long may it continue SO.
Such, then, has been our experience
of lion hunting in North Africa Eur
nished with the best arms of precision
and well supported by the indomitable
pluck and ripe experience of our dusky
allies, we had found ourselves face to
face with the king of beasts, and, after
all, had but little right to boast of our
encounter with him.-Chambers' Jour-
nal.

paper is.plentifuily washed with water
until all traces of acid have been re-

1t is this gun cotton which gives it it's
explosive character. Most of the

They are at this stage rolled in heated

Tea gowns, which if possible are more pop
ular than ever, are garments that admit OF
great originality Quite new in idea Is
vieux rose thick silk, with cream and green
pompadour stripes; the back hangs full and
plain, save for two jellybag pleats at the
back of the waist. The bodice is most pict-
uresque, having n large wired Elizabethan
frill of lace starting from the side revers.
The front is entirely composed of soft cream
Sicilienne, which falls in full unbroken folds
from neck to feet, kept in their place by a
loosely knotted girdle of the same, ending in
bows of ribbon
Vieux rose is favorite tone for tea gowns,
where vivid contrasts are considered in good
taste One, in pompadour silk of that tint,
was trimmed with embroidered faint yellow
crepe de chine, which appeared in the front
and formed the lower portion of the sleeves.
The collar and sleeves were made high.
In the cut here given is represented a tea
gown in black velvet, which is decidedly
quiet and stately affair. The full front of
crepe de chine is embroidered in gold and
gray. The zouave fronts and train are of
black velvet
