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, says the Ladies Home
Journal. The thick and easily broken
skin of the Spanish and Italian oranges
admitted of but little variation in
method. This skin was carefully re"
moved and the fruit separated in its
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 forefinger and extract
ing the juice by pressure and suction,
and soon the fashion was set of divid-
ing the orange in halves at the equa-
tor, if the expression may be permitted,
and digging out the pulp with tea
spoon. Some genius improved 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 a
sharp knife cutting out the core, a
second circular cut just inside the skin
separates the pulp and if the Operations
is dexterously performed the fruit can
be eaten with a spoon without splitting
drop of the juice, a recommendation
which has made is 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 long, sharp knife for family
purposes, as he generally has a ven
delta 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 it rapidly across his mouth, alb
sorbing the juice as it passes. 1t is noa
pretty, but it is remarkably effective
A modification of this style is knows
as 'New Orleans fashion" 1t consists
in dividing the orange diagonally it's
four sections, cutting across the core
It is not, however, considered gooa
form, by orange experts.

Swallows as Carrier Birds.

1t seems to be quite possible that the
swallow will prove a successful rival
to the carrier pigeon III its peculiar
line of service. The idea of domesti-
eating this little feathered favorite has
been taken up in France, the exigencies
of war having suggested the possibility
of its usefulness. A Frenchman has
been experimenting with the birds for
years. He has managed to tame them,
and make them love their cage so that
they return to it after few hours
liberty.
The birds spend the winter in their
home, and do not change their residence
with the change of seasons. On this
point theirsmaster says that, if the
swallows migrate, he thinks it must be
less on account of the cold than for the
want of their regular food.
They live on insects, and when these
disappear with the coming of fair
weather in the Autumn, the swallow
take their leave so as not to die Of hum
ger. With food to its liking provided,
the swallow goes abroad in January.
and return again to its cote as freely
as it does IN July.
The speed of these messengers can
be judged from a single experiment,
An unframed swallow having it's nest
on farm near Roukaix, was caught
and taken in cage to Paris, where it
was set at liberty. In less than an hour
and half he was back at the farm.
1t had passed over about two hun.
dred and fifty kilometres, little more
than one hundred and fifty-tive miles,
in ninety minutes. 1t is asserted that
the trained ones will still do better.
but how much better they can do will
not be known until the art of train
ing them has been further developed.
Their great speed and their diminu-
tive forms are what especially recon-
mend the swallows for use in war. 1t
would not be an easy matter to shoot
such carriers on the wing, and they
would very likely out-fy any trained
haks. 2outb's Companion.

Port Edwards, Centralia And
Northern.

Will be the title of the new railroad
lately organized by representative
business men in Port Edwards, Cen
tralia and Grand Rapids. Those
interested who had subscribed toward
the enterprise met in Pomainv;lle Hall
in Centralia, Monday evening and
discussed the merits of such line. All
those who took part in the discussion
were decidedly of the opinion that
such a railroad would be of great value
to the cities and towns through which
it would pass. W. A. Scott, of Merrill
who has heavy interests in Port
Edwards, with John Ed. ards, was
positively in favor of the road. After a
long discussion vote was taken on the
proposition which resulted unanimous
ly in favor of building fhe road. The
capital stock was fixed at 100000 and
the name to be known as the Port
Edwards, Centralia and Northern
railroad.
The following persons were elected
directors for the ensuing year: John
Edwards, W. A. Scott, F. J. Wood,
John Arpin, I. E. Nash, G. J. Jackson,
and J. d. Witter.
We hope nothing will be left undone
from now on until we can hear the
sound of the whistle as the "iron horse"
comes and goes on it's mission of labor.

noticed that in nearly every instance
the taxes of 1889, are higher than those
of 1888, on account of the levy for
bridge purposes. Some of the wealth
lest men seem to escape very heavy
tax and just how it is done is query to
the poor man who owns small house,

our business men pay large tax

left this city short time before Christ

a young lady whom he had learned to
admire. While there he was taken
with typhoid pneumonia and was some

with hemorrhage of the lungs and died
on Saturday morning January the 18th
at seven o'clock His remains were
brought to this city Sunday morning
and he was buried Tuesday afternoon
at the -Four Mile Creek cemetery. He
was in his 26th year and was we'll and
favorably known IN this city. He
worked for Jones & Nash in Centralia.
some five years, also for r. Parrish &
Bro. in this city. Latterly he was in
the employ of the government as mail
agent. To be cut down thus in early
manhood seems harder for relatives
and friends to bear than when one
reaches old age.
