How TO Eat an Orange.

Until the last few years, since oranges
have become popularized, it was matter
of no little difficulty and concern to those
who desired to eat gracefully to hit upon
the best way to eat an orange. The thick,
easily broken skin of the Spanish and
Italian oranges admitted of but little vari-
alton of the method. The skin was care
fully removed and the fruit separated in
it's natural sections, and eaten piece by
piece. With the thin, tough peel and
tender interior skin of the Florida orange
this was matter of greater difficulty.
Fastidious people objected to the style
which is the delight of childhood, viz,
punching hole in the orange with the
foreinger and extracting the juice by pres
sure and suction, and soon the fashion was
set of dividing the orange in halves at the
equator, if the expression may be permit
ted, and digging out the pulp with tea
spoon. Some genius improved upon this
by cutting off only small slice on the top
of the orange, at about the Arctic circle,
so to speak, then with sharp knife cut
ting out the core, second circular cut
lust inside the skin separates the pulp,
and if the operation is dexterously per-
formed the fruit can he eaten with spoon
without splitting drop of the juice, a
recommendation 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 long, sharp
knife-every Sicilian carries long, sharp
knife for family purposes, as he generally
has vendetta or two on hand-and cuts
the orange spirally around so that it be-
comes long strip of peel and pulp. He
grabs this strip at either end and draws Il
rapidly across his mouth, absorbing the
Juice as i. passes. 1t is not pretty, but it
is remarkably effective. A modification
of this style is practiced in the United
States and used to be known as "New
| Orleans fashion" 1t consists of dividing
the orange diagonally into four sections,
cutting across the core. 1t is not, however,
considered good form by orange experts.
Another fashion of eating an orange
| which is considerable trouble and has but
little to recommend it on the score of ele-
gaace-is to cut just through the skin at
the equator, and by carefully turning the
| peel back, form cup of the skin at each
pole of the orange. The pulp is then bit
ten off around and around, as school boy
eats an apple. While this style keeps the
hands comparatively clean, it smears the
face most unpleasantly. The same objec-
! ton may be urged against the fashion OF
| peeling the orange on fork and holding
| it in that way while eating it.
Some people thrust 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 dinner
table if the orange knives are very sharp
"a circumstance which rarely happens, by
the way-this is perhaps as good way as
any. it is simple and makes no fuss, and
| there is az air Of refinement about touch
| ing the fruit only with the knife and fork,
if it be gracefully done, which recon-
mends it to many people.-Ladies' Home

No Mapping.

"What's the secret of your success,
| Jackson7" inquired the superintendent of
the young conductor, who had managed to
take his train successfully every time over
a dangerous place, where others invaria-
bly, had had serious accidents.
.sNo mapping, either by conductor or
men, when passing over dangerous places, !"
was the reply.
"A good rule, 1 thought, for travellers
| over life's pathway. as well as for those on
the railroad. If only the dangerous pla-
ces in life could be mapped out as accu-
rately and marked as plainly, perhaps
they would be needed and avoided. The
trouble is to convince people that there is
any peril and of the need of wide-awake
| watchfulness.
That young man, a stranger perhaps to
| the allurements of q great city, does not
think he is about to pass into danger when
he accepts the invitation of comrade to
visit the public gardens or the baseball
park on Sunday, instead of going, as he
| had intended, and as he promised his
| mother he would, to church and Sunday
| school.
mo harm Just to go once. One must
| see something of the world"
He lulls his conscience to sleep with
these excuses, and goes. But he is not
exactly the same young man in the even
| ing that he was in the morning. He had
lost something he could i'll afford to lose.
The first glass of beer has been taken.
| Vice has become little more familiar and
| not SO gross and loathsome. His sense OF
right and wrong is blunted. The tempter
| has gained the victory, and it will not be
| SO easy to resist him when he makes his
next attack. In word, he has been nap
ping in the presence of the most terrible
danger; he has been guilty of criminal
lack of watchfulness. Already he has
lost much, and the end will be wreck.
! not Of body alone, but of mind and soul.
The skating rink did not seem danger
GUS place to that innocent country girl.
She had accepted an invita- ion of an aunt
to come to the city and attend school. The
family next door allowed their daughter,
Dora, to GO to the rink, and Stella gained
permission to accompany her.
It was bewildering, fascinating scene
to the quiet girl, and she longed to be
among the merry skaters and try her skill
with the rest Soon she was whirling
away with the giddy throng. This was
no new thing to Dora. Night after night
che passed in this way. Ssella's evenings
were soon spent in the same manner. In
stead of improving her advantages to the
utmost, by reading and study, and then re-
newing her health and strength by sound
and refreshing slumber. she was away
until nearly midnight in that unwholesome,
demoralizing place.
Bad enough, truly, for health, intellect
and morals were all injured because some
one is mapping instead of watching and
guarding this young life as she neared
this dangerous place.-Cdnada Pres6yte-

A Singular Adventure.

Andrew Larsen, the captain of the
schooner Mary Anderson, has arrived in
San Francisco with one finger less than he
sailed with. While fishing one day on
one of the Southern islands he ran across
lot of abalones on some dry rocks. In
attempting to pick one off he put his little
finger under the shell, when the animal
closed on it, making him prisoner. The
tide began to rise and the gallant captain
still found himself held fast, notwish-
standing that he had broken all the blades
Of his knife save one in trying to pry open
the shell. When the tide went above his
waist he concluded that it was better to
lose finger than be drowned, and so with
the remaining blade of his knife he cut his
little finger off. PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

SO Interesting to note that the French are
not behindhand in suggestions for putting
down the slave trade by sea. NJ. de Lave
leye pointed out the other day that France
had admitted the principle of the right of
search by the treaty with England in No
vember, 1881. But he forgot, apparently,
to mention that when the question of
carrying out that principle nose a few
years later. M. Guizot was afraid to press
it upon the French Chambers, end induced
Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen to
waive strict performance of the treaty

The selfshness Of Bad Manners.

The old fashioned division of society was
into superiors. equals and interiors. One
of the rarest things in American society is
genuine courtesy toward superiors. Toady
ism there Is plenty of, and it is disgust
ing habit which it is unnecessary to con-
denim here. The more common and less
conspicuous mistake is Withholding,
through selfshness, the Difference which
is due superiority. Let q person of little
more culture, q little better position, larger
experience, be thrown among us, and we
too often assume q cold dignity. The
glorious doctrine of equality of all men
we quote in self-defense. Unselfishness
would alter this manner and tell us to do
the honest thing-and the only polite
thing-give his worth its due and our
selves the opportunity of gathering what
we can from his broader life. This prin-
ciple is constantly ignored in our villages
and towns. The sharp lines which are
drawn between cliques is really often, If
not as rule, the fault Of those who feel
their social position to be less than that of
another set, and who assume rigid for
mality when thrown into their company.
The manner which shows Difference COM
bined with self respecting independence is
one Of the most charming good society
sees. The great strain on this principle
undoubtedly comes from association with
equals. A man Is polite to his daily asso-
ciates in proportion as he lays aside his
own claims for consideration and substi-
tutes theirs. But it must be spontaneous,
natural, unpretending .unselfshness. An
affectation Of misunderstanding up
thing in 80 pronounced manner that
everybody will see that a sacrifice has
been made-it is never good form. It calls
attention to the doer. It suggests to all
who see it that they have missed an oppor-
tunity to do polite thing. 1t is in better
taste to omit doing an unsel6sh thing
which one seas the opportunity for, if it is
going to make others feel that they have
been rude or careless. Good manners are
like dress that is in best taste whose har-
mony is so complete that nobody thinks of
it. Respect for opinions, tolerance for &C.
centricities, kindness toward the uninter-
essing, willingness to give up comforts,
readiness to join in suggestions for social
entertainment. ignoring unpleasantness,
the daily practice Of social niceties, sharing
pleasures, generosity ia admiring these
are only few of the lines on which unset
fishness works il daily ife.-I'hs Gsasl-

Resemblance Of Married Couples.

1t has been observed that in the case OF
mature married couples who have lived
together for a long period of years, har-
monious in thought and feeling and SUBJ
ject to the sane conditions of life, they &C
quire strong facial resemblance.
The Photographic Society, of Geneva,
Switzerland. took the photographs of sew
enty- eight couples to see to what extent
this facial resemblance prevails. The re
suit is that in twenty-four cases the re-
semblance in the personal appearance of
the husbrnd and wife was greater than
that of brother and sister in thirty cases
it was equally great, and in only twenty
four was there total absence of resem-
blance.-EC.

Mrs. Fannie H. Rastall, president of the
Kansas w. c. T. u, gives the following
summing up of the practical working of
prohibition in that State The simple fact
is Kansas has grown wealthy under pro-
hibition. Property values have increased
under prohibition about $1S.375 900 an
nually, while the increase in population
has been 1907 annually, or total in
crease of values of nearly $4,000, 600
to be accurate $146, 979, 757 ga. We have
1891 more school houses than we had 4
years ago, and 1869 more teachers. The
school population has increased during the
years by the addition of 130,760 chill
dren. The amount of U s. revenue col
lected in Kansas last year was only 1888.
1872, while Nebraska with less population
paid $2,248,634 The tax rate Il should
say revenue assesseO in both States is the
same. These figures clearly prove that
prohibition does prohibit, and high IL
cense licenses bit does not restrict.
