The Orange Industry in Paraguay.


The orange tree is generally under
stood to have been introduced into Para
quay by the Jesuits and the seeds dis
tributed by the birds. However this
may be, the orange has spread all over
the country, from the river banks to the
tops of the hills, and from the cottages
even to the deepest solitudes of the vir-
gin forest. Paraguay is the land of
orange trees more truly than the coun-
try of Mignon. And what orangesl
Juicy, perfumed and of delicacy that
Spain and Italy have never attained.
The chief industry consists in the ex-
portation of the fruit
The great orange season is from May
to August, when the ports of the Para
quay river, from Humaita to Asuncion,
dispatch enormous quantities by steam
ers and schooners. Villeta, San Lorenzo
and San Antonio are the principal ports,
and there best may be seen the pictur-
esque professions of laughing and
screaming girls and women, who carry
basket after basket of fruit on their
heads from the shore to the ship, like q
swarm of busy ants. Up to the present
no industrial use has been made OF the
orange. Some sixty millions are ex-
ported annually, the same quantity is
consumed by the natives, and perhaps
treble that quantity is devoured by
monkeys aud birds, or left to rot on the
ground. Child in Harper's.

PRAISE OF DEATH.

Thanatos, thy praise / sing.
Thou immortal, youthful kingl
Glorious offerings will bring;
For, men say, thou hast no shrine,
And / find thou art divine
As no other god; thy rage
Doth preserve the Golden Age.
What we blame is thy delay;
Cut the flowers ere they decayi
Come, we would not derogate.
Age and nipping pains we hate;
Take us at our best estate;
While the head burns with the crown.
In the battle, strike US DOWN.
At the bride feast do not think
From thy summons we would shrink:
We would give our latest kiss
To n life still warm with bliss
Come. and take us to the train
OF dead maidens on the plain
Where white lilies have no stain;
Take US to the youths that thou
Lov'st to choose, of fervid brow,
Unto whom thy dreaded namc
Hath been simply known as Fame:
With these unpolluted things
Be our endless revelingsi

Mr.. Preston, in letter to Dr.. Hertz.
the famous discOverer Of electrical
waves, points out that if the lines of
force remain stationary while the mag
net rotates, the magnet, being con-
ductor rotating in the field of its own
lines, will become electrified and show
positive electricity at one end and nega-
tive at the other. If, on the other hand,
the lines move with the magnet, no such
effect will take place. DIR. Hertz admits
the force of this reasoning.

American Luxury and Love OF Money
At Frenchman's Bay, on the bor-
der of the Eastern States, a violent
storm having compelled me to stop
at Machias, questioned the man at
whose house | was staying. That
house was indeed the best in the dis
trict, and, as people say in the coun-
try, the landlord was a most respect
a6Le man. Having exhausted the
chapter relative to the value and
price of land, | asked him whether
he had ever been to Philadelphia.
He replied that he had not yet done
SO. He was man of about forty
five years of age. [ scarcely dared
to ask him whether he knew General
Washington. 81 have never seen
him, he said. If you should go to
Philadelphia" I went on, 'you would
be pleased to see the great man?
"No doubt L shall, but" he added
with beaming eyes, Il should very
much like to see Mr.. Bingham, the
man who they say is so rich.
Throughout the States | met with
similar love for money, and often as
coarsely expressed. This country is
too soon acquainted with luxuries.
The latter are, indeed, shocking
when men can hardly provide them
selves with the necessaries of life
l recollect having seen, in. the
drawing-room of Mrs. Robert Nor
ris, the hat manufactured in the birth
place of the masteE. OF the house,
carefully laid on an elegant Sevres

some American. Hardly would a
European peasant have consented to
to wear such hat. 9. -.

WEATHER SIGNALS.

The following explanation OF the
weather signals displayed from the tower
of the TELEGRAPH-C COURIER building will
throw some light on their meaning to
most people. The flags are displayed to
read downward. The cold wave flag is
not displayed unless a temperature Of 40
or lower is expected and indicates sud-
den and decided fall in temperature. The
black flag above the white indicates high
er temperature, below it indicates lower
temperature. The following is the inter-
probation of the display:
The white flag alone indicates fair
weather, stationary temperature.
The blue flag alone indicates rain or
snow, neutrality-suspicious..
{ The white f1agswith black flag below it
indicates fair weather, colder.
The black flag with the blue flag below
it indicates rain or snow, warmer.
tThe1white flag with the cold wave flag
.(white with black square in the center)
indicates fair weather, cold wave.
The black flag with the white and blue
below it indicates warmer, fair weather,
followed by rain or snow.

The Annual Cotton Crop in the
United States.

The yield Of cotton in the United
States rose, in round numbers, grad
uaIy, but rapidly from 10000, 900
pounds in 1901 to 50, 900, 900 in 1911,
and from 1000, 900 pounds in 1927
to ,684,o 900 bales-of which $50, 600
were exported to Great Britain-in
the season of 1912; thence to A.
Sol 900 bales in 1880, of which
Great Britain received 100000.
No accurate record Of cotton move

1864, 462, 900 in 1865, 100000 in
1866, and the maximum Of 2,886,oo
bales in the season of 1898. Ip
the season of 1866 the crop was
2,278,ooo bales, of which 1902. 900
went to Great Britain; in that Of

What Koch's Discovery Leads To.

.
It.can safely be assumed that every
statement made by Koch himself is true
and accurate. He has gone no farther
than is. justified by the sactual scientific
facts. with this assumption, no one can
doubt that Koch has made one Of the most
important discoveries IN the history of
medicine. IL IL pe, true tnat ''pntnlsls IN
the beginning can be cured with certainty,
it is possible, if not probable, that con-
sumption may be cured in the later stages
by supplementing the injections by gener-
al hXgienic measures Of treatment, anti
septic Limitations, and 50 on, which have
already been found useful The direct
value Of the discovery of means Of cur
ing disease which is responsible for one
tenth of the deaths from all causes, includ-
ing violence IS indeed great; but the inn
agination almost fails to grasp the import
ance Of the method extended to other di-
seases produced by heterogeneous. If
we know the exact mechanism Of the
cure IOI COlo uuI pUpOI, IL ID IcI Idlu UlAdC VIC
shall soon be able to successfully apply
! this knowledge to the study Of other dis
eases.
1t is possible in the light of what has
recently been accomplished by Koch, that
in the near future many curative lymphs
will be discovered, each produced by the
special micro organism of each disease.
1t would then be not too much to expect
that these agents would promptly arrest
the different diseases to which they are
applicable. For example: The typhoid
| lymph, the dyptheric lymph, the lymph
for measels, scarlet fever, ETC., would
promptly arrest these diseases and save pa
tients from the degenerations and the ac-
cidents which are allowed to run their
course; and that convalescence will be
prompt because the diseases have not pro
duced damage which can only be repaired
by time Truly this would be revolution
in medicine, and it now seems to be inn
pending.-Dr. Au8tin Flint IN the January
| Forum.
