How to Select an Orange.

The sweetest and richest orange
shows more or less rust on its coat
or skin. Pick out the dingiest or
ange in the box and you will get the
best. Another way to choose or
anges is by weight. The heaviest
are the best, because they have the
thinnest skin and more weight of
juice. Thick skinned oranges are
apt to be dry and pulpy. The kid
gloves are the two varieties of small
fruit grown in Florida from stocks
brought from China and Tangiers.
The are called "Mandarin" and
"Tangarine." They may be eaten
without soiling kid glove, because
the skin is loose and the little cores
or pockets come apart cleanly and
without breaking. All the above ap-
plies to Florida oranges. The ia
maica and Havana oranges are a
much paler yellow, and their juice is
usually of more acid quality.

A New Postal Suggestion.

1t there is any point on which our
postal system does not stand in need of
improvement, it is in the cheapness of
postage. Our newspapers are carried
within the county Of their publication
for nothing and everywhere else for
next to nothing, and letter OF an ounce
weight is transported from any point to
any other of our enormous area of g.
100000 square miles for the smallest
unit of letter postage known in Chris
tendon. But far more important
matter, and one wholly neglected, is
that of postal delivery. In other civil
lied countries, the post-ofice, receiving
letter from the writer, undertakes to
deliver it to the person addressed. In
our own happy land the post-ofice re-
ceives the letter, and Except in the case
of privileged twenty per cent. of the
people undertakes to carry it to within
FIVE or ten miles of the person addressed,
and keep it there till called for. This
is the mere barbarism Of postal service,
worthy of the dark ages before Rowland
Hill. The enormous cost and loss
which it involves becomes obvious to
any one, on few minutes reflection.
For example: A man living three miles
from the post office is anxious!y expect
ing a letter Of great importance which
may arrive any time within a fortnight.
He goes daily to look for it, and on the
sixth day he gets it. That letter has
has cost him twelve hours of walking, or
six hours of travel for himself aud
horse, In other words, the postage on
that letter has been virtually s202, or
more. The government does not get
the money, but the citizen loses it,
DR.. Leonard Woolsey Bacon IN the
March Forum.
