Blood Oranges.

BLOOD oranges" have been investi-
gated by order of the health officer of
Washington. The story that they are
fixed with a syringe and little ami
line dye has been going the rounds of
the newspapers. 1t was seen by DR..
Townsend, and as the supply of ''blood
oranges in the Washington market
seemed to be abundant he directed an
inquiry with view of condemning the
fruit if it had been tempered with. The
chemist to whom the matter was re-
ferred says in his report: 1.-THE oranges
are naturally stained, no artificial color
ing of any kind having been used. The
small spot on the side is fungus spot
and not puncture. 1t is impossible to
stain an orange by injecting any arti-
fetal staining fluid into the fruit either
before or after pluclking from the tree.''

A Coming Martinez.

The ten-year-old crown prince of Ger
many appears to be in fair way of be-
coming an insufferable little prig. A
few days ago, when returning with his
brothers from drive, the palace guard,
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the imperial children. AS the carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced TO run as fast as they could
to assume their place in the ranks, and
one unfortunate fellow, in his haste,
forgot his gun. This was Immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who, as
soon as ever the carriage had stopped,
instead of entering the palace, hurried
of with his brothers to the officer in
command OF the guard for the purpose
of lodging a complaint against the sol
der who had appeared without his rifle.
The result was that the soldier was SEN
fenced to four days arrest and to a
further term of fatigue duty for his re-
Inissness, while the Berlin papers are
filled with laudatory notices of the mill
tary feeling and precision of the future
emperor of Germany.

The Presidents Trim.

Attention is called by the New York
Herald to the fact that throughout all
the presidents journey around the
circle of ten thousand miles his train
pursued its prearranged schedule, pass
ing from one line of railroad to an
other and from state to state without
so much as five minutes delay from any
cause whatever. 1t met with no acct
dent, and over all the long route the
presidential party were enabled to en-
joy their habitual routine Of life,
sleeping, eating, bathing, reading,
writing and talking with as little dis
comfort as if they had been seated in
the white house, with the added com
fort of not being annoyed by office
seekers This feature of the journey
is remarkable tribute to American
railway management 1t could not be
repeated in any other country in the
world.

Buried Towns.

The sand-laden winds from the Lake
Michigan shores have wiped out the
town of Singapore, near Saugatuck,
Mich. Every house except one has
been completely covered up, and the
family in this lone house has now been
compelled to move into the second
floor, the sand having filed the first.
The same cause, it is claimed, will
eventually drive the people to the roof,
as these sand dunes respect neither
man nor his abode, and this little old
town will become as thoroughly bur-
led as Pompeii. -

A Cannibalistic Cow.

Fort Worth, Tex, possesses a cow
that is unique in being carnivorous and
cannibal, as well as an infanticide.
Her peculiar propensity was discovered
while she was yet calf by the discov-
cry of the bones of a cat which was in
the habit of frequenting the stall where
she was confined, and the blood
smeared upon the calf's mouth revealed
the startling fact that puss had actually
been eaten by her. Since then she has
been seen to catch mice and rats ven
turing near her and devour them alive,
while she has twice killed and eaten her
day old calves. She exhibits no pc
culiarity beyond her carnivorous appe-
tite, but appears gentle enough, and
has never been known to behave ill
humoredly, except when in sight of
freshly killed meat or when shown
blood. -.

CAT AND RAT.
A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for
Homeless Rodent.

A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for
Homeless Rodent.
A laborer employed in one of the mills
at Suffer Creek has in his house one OF
the strangest families of animals in ex-
istence. The head of the family, says
the San Francisco Call, is an old cat,
which is a mother of thrifty family of
five kittens; but, in spite of the cares of
motherhood, she has taken it upon her
self to provide for rat that she has
taken under her protection.
During a storm about two months ago
a half-grown rat, lame and nearly
drowned, crawled into the house, evil
IDENTIFY in search of food and shelter,
and by some chance made its way to
the place where the old cat lay snugly
on the heap of sacks with her family.
Strangely, the mother seemed touched
with pity over the condition of the wan
derer, and, instead of attacking him,
she coolly made room for him and did
everything to relieve his sufferings. The
rat displayed every sign of gratitude,
and the miners family, when they dis
covered the intruder were SO struck
with surprise that they forbade anyone
to disturb them.
The result was that the rat chose to
remain with his new-found friends, and
has now become as docile as his foster
mother. A warm attachment seems to
have sprung up between the two, and
the rat has grown fat and lazy, wan
dering about as it suits its fancy, and
evidently pleased with its new surron,,5-

ONE-CENT SAVINGS BANKS
a recent Financial and Philan-
thropic Success.
New York Institutions Which Are Prov
ing of Great Benefit to Chill
dren and the Poorer
Glasses.

The penny proyident fund, organized
by the charity organization about two
years ago, is proving a great success
says the New York Sun. 1t was the
design of the organization to encourage
the saving of small sums among its pro
teges by providing a place of deposit
for even so small an amount as /, 3 and
cents, and stations were established
at the ten different branch offices of
the society for carrying out the plan.
So popular did the work become that
outside organizations were allowed to
come in from the churches, the missions,
the industrial schools, and the working
girls clubs, until there are now 1913 sta
tions of deposit, 1909 depositors, and
$40, 464.65 on deposit in the different
stations There are no hired clerks in
these stations, the work all being done
by voluntary charity. The depositors
are quite fairly divided betwe.E chill
dren and grown people, and, thsesh it
is the desire of the society that all ac-
counts of IS shall be transferred to the
savings banks, many poor people refuse
to take out their money.
The plan of the work resembles that
so long practiced in England 1, 3, s. 10,
%, and so cent and 81 stamps are sold
to the depositors, pasted in the little
book given to each person, and remain
the guarantee of the amount due until
it is needed and drawn out again. When
SIS or $40 accumulates the depositors are
helped to open an account in a savings
bank, and the United States and West
- 1.
stamps on sale at one of their windows,
where sums of cent up will be received,
and as soon as 81 is accumulated the de-
positor will receive a regular passbook.
This work necessitates the addition of
only one clerk, and it is hoped that 9TH
er banks will take it up.
One poor woman succeeded in saving
about $50 in this way, and when her
husband deserted her a short time ago
she was able to start lodgings with the
fund.
A little girl whose father is very in
temperate meets him every payday be-
fore he reaches saloon, and coaxes all
the money she can from him. This she
divides among her little brothers and
sisters, and all is placed on deposit. Not
long ago the father, through intemper-
ance, was discharged from his work,
and the money thus accumulated by the
children paid the rent until new sit
uation could be found.
Another little girl has managed to
save enough in pennies and nickels to
pay for having her fathers grave put in
order.
The working girls clubs are some of
the largest contributors, one club alone
having raised $500 in the last year.
Much of the money is drawn out at
Christmas and during the summer vaca-
lions, but the purpose of the society is
only to save for some such need and not |
simply to hoard up money in a misery

In South America there is a species OF
fly that lays its eggs in the body OF man.
and large-sized larvae or inciplent IN
sects are frequently taken from under
the human skin. This fly is supposed
to lay its egg while the victim is bath
ing, as any part of the body is at
tackled. Very often some of the south
ern natives are fairly alive with larvae,
which, if left to themselves, will at last
become free from their confines and de-
velop into true dipteras.

AS early as the campaign in Spain, in
1867, in support of Peter the Cruel, and
also in the following reign of Richard
II, the English soldier appears to have
been in white and with a red cross of st.
George on his breast and back. In 1851
there is evidence of red being adopted
for small number of men at least,
