Lady BaIscombe. All, we'll, it's nothing
to do with the murder at all events; but
I'd like to know If he really did leave
town on the night.
Then he turned to Flip.
Did the swell see Jem Mux?" he ssked
sharply.
Rather, said Flip, an Jem e called
i'm my lord, so e must ave been a bloom

my lord, repeated Dowker thought
fully. ooh! no doubt it was Lord CAL
listOn. I wonder if he's had anything to
do with the death Of his mistress; it's
curious if ne stopped in town all night
that he didn't go back to his chambers.
About what time was this2" he asked,
aloud.
About nine, said Flip, promptly, cor
harf-past.
Nine, echoed Dowker; @then in that
case he must have stayed in town all
night, as the last train to Shoreham Is
about half-past. I'll look into this bust
ness, but meantime I want to find out
Desmond's little game.
Flip had now finished his meal, and
was waiting impatiently for instructions
from his chief.
-Wot's h'up, guV'nOr?" he asked, his
black beady eyes fixed on the detective.
DOwker glanced at his watch.
IT'S about 2" he said, replacing it,
~and want you to meet me at the Mar
bic Arch about a quarter to 8.
"Wot for?"
@To follow lady and gentleman and
overhear what they say, said DOwker;
ell show you whom mean. Don't lose
a word of their conversation and then re-
peat it all to me-
I'm fly, said Flip, with a wink, and
then this curiOusly assorted pair depart
ed, DoWker to his Office for a few min
utes, and Flip to wend his way to the
rendezvous at Marble Arch.

The navel orange, so called from the
peculiar appearance of the blossom cup
st the lower end, is a true seedless
orange, and probably stands first
among orange lovers. It has hardly
any core, the flesh is solid and Juicy,
and the skin is thin and smooth.
Tsngariues, mandarins, sweet and
sour oranges seem to thrive equally
well on the sandy soil which looks
as if it would not support a

passes. 1t is not pretty, but 1t is re-
markedly effective. A modification of
this style is practiced in the United
States and used to be known as New
Orleans fashion" It consists in divid-
ing the orange diagonally into four sec
tions, cutting across the core. It is
not, however, considered good form by
orange experts.
Oranges are grown all over the
semi tropical world. Spain, Italy,
Northern Africa, China, Southern Cali
fornia, Florida, Cuba, and Palestine
send their quota of the fruit to the
great markets. But for excellence the
Florida orange takes the lead Florida
produces a larger variety of oranges
and brings them to greater perfection
than any other region in the orange
belt. Whether this is to be attributed
to the soil, the climate, or to methods
of cultivation has not been definitely
decided, though I fancy the latter
cause has the most to do with the ex-
cellence of the Florida fruit.
Another fashion Of eating an orange
which is considerable trouble and
has but little to recommend it on score
Of elegance-is to cut just through the
skin at the equator and by carefully
turing the peel back form a cup Of the
skin at each pole of the orange. The
pulp is then bitten off around and
around, as a school-bOy eats an apple.
While this style keeps the hands COM
paratively clean, it smears the face
most unpleasantly. The same Obiec-
ton may be urged against the fashion
Of peelng the orange on fork and
holding it in that way while eating 1t.
Some people thrust a fork into the
core Of an orange, peel the fruit, and
then slice it as one would an apple,
losing thereby a large quantity Of the
Juice. At a dinner-table, if the orange
knives are very Sharp circumstance
that rarely happens, by the Way-thls
is perhaps as good a way as any. 1t is
simple and makes no fuss, and there Is
an air of refinement about touching the
fruit only with the knife and fork, if it
be gracefully done, which recommends
it to many people.
With a mandarin orange, which, as
its name suggests, originated IN China,
none of these methods are practicable.
/ The mandarin Is a delicate little fruit,
/ with a strong musky flavor, and It's
/ tender skin fits as loosely upon the
pulp IS does the siIken coat Of its celes-
| Eian namesake. Like the italian and
/ Spanish oranges, It's inner skin is dry,
and it can be readily peeled and divid-
! ed into sections. It's first cousin, the
/ Margarine, whose habitat is Algiers and
/ Northern Africa, is a trife larger, not
/ quite so musky, but possesses ali the
/ other pecuIiaFities OF the mandarin.
There is no doubt that the orange has
/ been brought to It's highest perfection
IN Florida; larger, juicier, and fuller

Ln absent.EIfnded Earmar.

A Scotch farmer who was a little
absent-minded was one day going INTO
Perth with a load Of hay. He led the
horse out Of the stable. but instead q
backing it into the trans Of the wagon
he absent-mindedly led the animal
along the road and never as much ss
looked behind him till he walked into
the yard, leading the horse, where the
hay was to be delivered. "Whaur VIII
I back into?" he cried to a stsbIsmsh
standing by. "Back in what?" asked
the man. "The hay, you stupid idiot. "
What hay? Ye've nae hay, ye DAFT
gowk." Turning round, to his con-
sternation the farmer for the first time
apprehended the fact that he had left
the wagon at home aud brought the
horse alone. In his hurry to repair
the error he started off at tEot and
was half way back to his own farm
before he realized the fact that he had
left the horse behind.-Scoti5sk liner

der interior skin of the Florida orange
this was a matter of greater difficulty
Fastidious people objected to the style
which is the delight Of childhood, viz,
punching a hole in the orange with the
fOrefnger and extracting the juice
by pressure and suction, and soon
the fashion was set of dividing
the orange in halves at the
equator, if the expression may
be permitted, and digging out the pulp
with teaspoon. Some genius i'm
proved upon this by cutting off only
small slice at the top of the orange, at
about the arctic circle, so to speak,
then with a sharp knife cutting out the
core; a second circular cut Just inside
the skin separates the pulp, and if the
operation is Gexterously performed the
fruit can be eaten with a spoon without
spiIling a drop Of the juice, a recon-
mendatiOn which has made it more
popular than any other method. The
native Sicilian, who does not care if he
does get a little of the juice smeared
upon his countenance, takes his long,
sharp knife-every Sicilian carries a
long, sharp knife for family purposes,
as he generally has a vendetta or two
on hand-and cuts the orange spirally

WALKING HORSES.

One Of the most desirable and val.

it should be the aim to first develop
this gait in the handling of the colt.
The good walker will always make
good time on the road when a DAYS
journey is to be made without wear
ying himself, while the slow moper
must be constantly kept on the trot
if time is to be made. A horse that
will walk five miles per hour will 90

as an ordinary horse can be driven
when kept half Of the time to the
trot, and with much greater ease to
himself. II one.half the pains were
taken by farmers boys to make fast
walkers of the youngsters on the
farm that is usually taken to make
them trot the result would be much
more beneficial, and we could find
plenty of teams that could do their
five miles an hour with ease. But
instead Of this, as soon as the colt is
brdlcd the sole aim of "tho bows" is
to make trotter out of him. And
doth gaits are spoiled.
Make the colts walk, boys; make
them extend themselves in long,
sweeping, square walk, and don't be
satisfied with anything less than five
miles an hour When he gets to
trolting he will go all the faster for
this preliminary training to the
walking gait, and IL he cannot trot

Both mines did loose playing, but
there were many good points made

game by superior fielding and the

side. The following is the score:
