Blood oranpes.

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 MA
nila) 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 considerable sensa-
tion, aud 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 derived almost entirely from Malta,
where great pains and attention are be-
slowed upon their cultivation 1t was for
a long time supposed, and indeed 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

Talmage Sketches an Ideal Home.

Make your home the brightest place on
earth if you would charm your children
to the high path of virtue and rectitude
and religion, says Rev. T. De Witt Tai
mage in the New York Observer. Do
not always turn the blinds the wrong
way. Let the light which puts gold on
the gentian and spots the pansy pour into
your dwellings. Do not expect the
little feet to keep step to Dead march.
Do not cover up your walls with such
pictures pictures as Vests ''Death on
Pale Horse" or Tintoretto's Massacre
of the Innocents." Rather cover them if
you have pictures, with ''The Hawking
Party and 1.-The Mill by the Mountain
Stream, and 1.-The Fox Hunt" and 1.-The
Children Amid Flowers, " and "The Har-
vest Scene" and ''The Saturday Night
Marketing." Get you no hint of cheer
fulness from grasshopper's leap, and
lambs frisk, and quail's whistle, and
garrulous streamlet which from the rock
at the mountain top clear down to the
meadow ferns under the shadow of the
steep, comes looking for the steepest
place to leap off at, and talking just to
hear itself talk. If all the skies hurtled
with tempest and everlasting storm
wandered over the sea, and every noun
tain stream were raving mad, frothing at
the mouth with mud foam, and there
were nothing but simoons blowing among
the hills, and there were neither larks
carol nor hummingbird' trill nor water
falls dash, but only bears bark and
panther's scream and VOLTS howl, then
you might well gather into your homes
only the shadows.

A Family Of Age and Weight.

Three brothers were in New Bruins
wick, N. j., recently, who show heavy
aggregate in height, age and size. They
are Captain Samuel Acken, who is feet
81 inches in height, seventy-six years OF
age, and weighs 24O pounds; William
Acken, of Metuchen, who is feet 3 inches
in height, eighty-six years of age, and
weighs 22O pounds, and Henry Acken, of
Raritan, who measures 6 feet 2 inches,
weighs 200 pounds, and is eighty four
years of age. The joint weight of these
Middlesex brothers is, therefore, $50
pounds, their total height IS feet liz
inches, and their combined ages amount
to GAG years. What is equally notice
able is the fact that the Acken family is
a family of giants, among the younger as
we'll as the older generations. Freebooter
Acken is the biggest official in Middlesex
County and stands head and shoulders
over the other members of the Board, and
there are many young men and boys, all
of whom are tall, and most of whom are
as remarkable in weight as in height

Flappin< Of a Fly's Wing.

In his book ''On the Senses, Instinct,
and Intelligence of Animals" Sir John
Lubbock records some of his later obser.
vations, among, which are these:
The slow tapping of butterfiy's wing
produces no sound, but when the move.
ments are rapid a noise is produced, which
increases in shrillness with the number Of
vibrations Thus the housefly, which
produces the sound F, vibrates its wings
21 120 times minute, or 335 times in q
Second, and the bee, which makes sound
of A, as many as 26, 400 times, or 44C
times in a second. On the contrary, a
tired bee huns on E, and therefore, ac-
cording to theory, vibrates its wings only
$50 times a second.
Marcy has succeededin confirming these
numbers graphically. He fixed fly so
that the tip of the wing just touched a
cylinder, which was moved by clock
work Each stroke of the wing caused
a mark, of course, very slight, but still
quite perceptible, and he thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in a
second, agreeing almost exactly with the
number inferred from the note produced.

The Presidents Father-in-Law.

The Rev. DR.. Scott, President Harri-
sons father-in-law, keeps steadily at his
desk in the Pension Office, according to
the New York World, which also says
that ''his daughters and the President
himself have asked him to resign his pc
sition, but he refuses to live in idleness.
Shortly after the election, Mrs. Harrison
wrote to her father asking him to quit
work and live at the White House. Her
husband also wrote to DR.. Scott, cor
daily supporting his wife's request. But
the old gentleman sturdily refused the
temptation, and said that he had been SO
long used to the routine of his Office that
he could not give it up. His compan-
ions in the Pension Bureau say that his
habits and manners have not changed at
all since last November.

THE SETTLING UP IS CERTAIN.

You may take the world as it comes and
goes,
And you will be sure to find
That fate will square the account she owes.
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that man has done,
By whosoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come home to roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your hfe's last sands;
You will have your balances struck some
night,
And you'll End your hoard reduced.
You'll view your life in another light,
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint you soul and starve you heart
With the husks of a barren creed,
But God will know if you play part,
VIII know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed alone9 You viii lie there
dumb.
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to face,
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same:
You cannot escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sin shame.
No matter what's carved on marble slab,
When the items are all produced,
You'll find that ST. Peter was keeping tab,
And that chickens come home to roost.

some hours later by the arrival Of the

that Coles. who is a prominent farmer
living on James River about five miles
from S,Ottsville, had LOstcd "A certain

was riding through Coles land in com.
plny with John Alexander. a farmer
with hom he lives. when they were
met by Coles. who began 20 abuse him
and Alexander. He says that he dis

him. the bullet, he alleges Just grazing
his skin. lie, then fearing that Coles
would shoot again, drew'a revolver and
shot the farmer through the head kill
ing him instantly. lie then went for
dOctCr and was unable to find one
nearer than North Garden. eighteen
miles distant. On his return he was ar
rested and brought TO town by officer

The trouble concerning the parade is
still unsettled at late hour, owing to
