How to Eat an Orange.
From the Ladies Home Journal

LUNeOo
Until the last few years since oranges
have become popularized, it was a 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 Ita-
ian orange, admitted of but little variation
of method. The skin was carefully removed
and the fruit separated in its natural Sec
lions, and eaten piece by piece. With the
thin tough peel and tender interior skin Of
the Florida orange this was a matter Of
greater difficulty. Fastidious people OBJ
jected 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
a small slice of the top of the
orange, at about the arctic circle. SO
TO speak. then with sharp knife cutting
out the core, second circular cut just in
side the skin separates the pulp, and if the
operation is dextrousy performed the fruit
can be eaten with spoon without splitting a
drop OF the juice, a recommendation which
has made 1t more popular than any other
method. The native Slcilfan who does not
care if he DIES get little of the juice
smeared upon his countenauce, takes his
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
1t becomes long strip of peel and pulp He
craps this rip at either end and draws it
rapidly across his mouth, absorbing the
juice as it passes. 1t is not pretty, but it is
remarkably effective. A modification OF
this style is practiced in the q nited States,
and used to be known as New Orleans
fashion," 1t consists in dividing the orange
dlagonally 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-
gance-is to cut just through the skin at the
equator, and, by carefully turning 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 schoolboy eats an
apple While this style keeps the hands
comparatively clean, it smears the face
most u pleasantly. The same objection
may be urged against the fashion of pee'ing
the orange on a fork and holding it in chat
way while eating it.
Some people thrust fork into the core or
an orange, peel the fruit, and then slice it as
one would an apple, losing thereby large
quantity of the juice. At dinner table, II
the orange knives are very sharp-a Cir
cumstance which rarely happens, by the
way-this is perhaps as good 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 recommer ls II 20
many people.

Butter from Cocoanut Milk.
CaIclltta Dtgpatch to the london TIn1es.

OtttCtIIIW Dt8pLEIClE 70 It6 LOItLtOTb ItNIeS.
Within the last few months new trade
has arisen in India and has attained extraor-
binary dimensions. About two years ago.
German chemist, DR.. Schlunk, discovered
that excellent butter could be made from
cocoanut milk. 1t is, according to Bonn
bay newspaper, pleasant to taste and smell,
of a clear, whitish color. singuarly free
from acids, easily digestible, and an incom-
parably healthier and better article of diet
than the cheap poor buffers and oleomar"
garines of European markets. The manu-
facture is carried on in Germany, where
one firm turns out from 5000 to 4,0n0 kilo-
grammes daily. The cocoanuts required
are imported from India, chiefly Bombay,
in large and increasing numbers, and the
trade seems likely to attain still greater
Importance.
