Blood Oranges Cannot BE Stained,

Blood oranges have been investigat-
ed by order of the health officer of Wash
ington. The story that they are fixed
with syringe and little aniline dye
has been going the rounds of the news
papers. 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 a
view of condemning the fruit if it had
been tempered with. The chemist to
whom the matter was referred says in
his report: The oranges are naturally
stained, no artificial coloring of any kind
having been used. The small spot on
the sideis fungus spot and not punct-
ure 1t is impossible to stain an orange
by injecting any artificial staining fluid
into the fruit either before or after
plucking from the tree."-WashiDgton

Range Cattle Doomed.

Joseph II. Moore, of Fort Worth,
Tex, whose cattle interests exceed
those of any man in the southwest, was
among the guests at tine Lick, where in

You have heard great deal, no
doubt, or did, a few years ago, at least,
of the famous Cattle Kings of the
west, who were supposed to reckon
their wealth by the millions. The bus
iness of raising cattle was conducted on
grand scale, and at one time the
profits were simply enormous. This
naturally attracted capital in large
amounts, and wealthy men from all
parts Of the world rushed eagerly into
the business of breeding and raising cat
tie. The result was overproduction and
a serious decline in prices

Railway Clerks with Long Days.

The hours on duty of booking clerk
are usually ten day; but they are at
very irregular times. This is on account
of trains starting to run as early as 5 a.
m. and continuing till midnight. There
must be always some one to book the
passengers; and as there are nineteen
hours to cover, and in many cases only
two clerks, they have to work as best
they can that both may have time for

 How Mrs Walsh Reached the Place
 Where She Was Found Dead.
 Coroner Mix has finished his investi- gation into the case of Mrs Maggie Walsh, the woman who was found dead in the woods in Waterbury, Monday last. In his report the coroner says |: The woman had not lived with her husband. On the afternoon after Christmas the woman was seen on Quarry street, surrounded by about fif- teen or twenty men. She was in a drunken condition and was being piled with liquor by her companions. The coroner learned that in the evening one of the men borrowed wheelbarrow from a farmer and while the woman was lying in a drunken stupor and un' able to help herself, ho put her into the wheelbarrow and took her to the spot where she was found dead. The sup position is that while lying in thii stupor she perished from exposure After ascertaining these facts Coroner Mix left the case m the hands of tho police. Several of the men who were ir company with the woman that after noon are known.
 Coroner Mix will complete his repor when he learns the result of the investi gations of the police. Chief Egan take but little stock in the wheelbarrov | story.

THE PASSION PLAY.

Repeated Every Tenth Year at a Little Bayarian Hamlet Father Mulcahy's. Interesting Lecture.
 The new rooms of the Young Mems Catholic Literary association, in the Lilley block, were opened to the public for the first time last evening, the occa- sion being Father Mulcahy's lecture on 'The Passion Play" The reverend speaker was introduced by President Scully of the association.
 The speaker opened his address by giving brief history of the religious plays from the eleventh to the seven- teenth century, which were called mysteries or miracle plays, giving scenes in the lives of the saints, taken from the old and new testament. But none ever attempted the representation of the passion of the Lord until 1633, when Bavaria was visited by plague, Ober Ammagau made the play known to the world.
 The reasons why the play at this place had outlived all others were tho religious devotion of the inhabitants, inherited from their ancestors, and VOW made by them two hundred and fifty years ago to perpetuate the play by repeti- tion of it every tenth year, as a thanks offering for deliverance from the plague, which formerly wrought havoc ameng the people.
 Father Mulcahy took his audience over the ragged hills and mountains to the village of Ober Ammagau and intro duced them to the people of that town, , whom he described as genuine, honest and christian people, the most of them of humble life and employed as farmers and wood carvers. The costumes and scenery for the play are in part pur- chased at Munich, but mainly gotten up by the peasants of the place. Almost the whole population of the village has some part in the play, appearing in the chorus, tableauX or dramatic work. The rehearsing for the drama occupies months and years and is under the direction of the burGomaSter.
 The play, which attracts thousands oi spectators from all parts of the world is given on Sundays and Mondays dur ing the months of June, July, August and September and lasts the whole day with the exception of an hour at noon A large open theatre with stage partly enclosed has been built, and on this the audience witness a most realistic re presentation of the sutferings of Christ from his triumphal entry into Jerusa lem till his death on the cross.
 Father Mulcahy illustrated his address by stereoptlcon views of the principa characters and scenes in the great play The role of Jesus is assumed by Josepl Mayr, in manner the lecturer said that defied criticism. His physique i: a model for sculptor, and his face as it appeared in the different and difficult parts of the play was represented by the stereopticOn, and showed that th' character of the Christ had been closely studied and appreciated by the actor The lecturer had the pleasure of an in troduction to MT Mayr, and also to Mis- Lang, the burgomasteI' daughter, wh' impersonated the Blessed Virgin

STRIKING A LIGHT.
How it was Accomplished Before M 1t che.
 were Invented.

How it was Accomplished Before M 1t ci,ca
 were Invented.
 It was necessary in former times fo1 light to be kept burning all night in one room, for to strike light was a long and laborious operation. There were little silver boxes that contained amadou, the spongy texture of puff ball, and some matches dipped in sul. phur, also a flint One side of the box was armed with steel. In striking a light the holder put the amadou in po- sition to receive the sparks from the steel as he struck the flint, then, when the amadou glowed, he touched it with the birthstone end of the match and ig- nited that-a matter of five to ten min. utes Why. burglar could clear of with the plate before the reused master of the house could strike light and kindle his candle to look for him!
 The finder box employed commonly in kitchens and cottages was different application of the same principle. It consisted of circular tin or iron box, with the socket for candle soldered on to the top. This box contained a re- movable bottom. When opened it dis, played steel and lump of flint. These were taken out and the removable bot tom lifted up, when below was disclosed a mass of black finder. The manufact- ure of this finder was one of the accom- plishments of our forefathers or rather foremothers. It was made of linen rag burnt in close vessel, charred to tin der, without being set on fire, and the manufacture of finder had to take place weekly. and consumed a considerable amount of linen.
 In the morning early before dawn the first sounds heard in a small house were the click, click. click of the kitchen maid striking flint and steel over the finder in the box When ignited, a match was applied, the candle lighted, and at once the plate of tin let down over the precious finder to extinguish It. If any one possessing an old finder box will try his hand at it, he will find how toilsome, unpleasant and lengthy the process is.
 Then came in the phosphorus bottle, but held its ground very short while because of the danger attending it. This consisted of a small bottle, like one of smelling salts, that contained phosphorus. A match was thrust into it and twirled about till it ignited the match, but as simultaneously the phosphorus in the bottle sometimes caught fire. this invention was speedily discarded. .--Cornhill Magazine.

The Wind Mnde Visible.

Take a polished metal surface of two feet or more. Take :. windy day for the experiment, whether hot or cold. clear or cloudy, only let it not be in murlly, rainy weather. Hold your metallic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind. If the wind is north, hold your surface east, but instead of holding it vertically incline it about twelve degrees to the horizon, so that the wind striking, glances and flows over the edges as the water flows over dam. Now sight carefully along the edge some minutes at sharply-defined object and you will see the wind pouring over the edge in graceful curves. Make your observa- tions carefully, and you will hardly ever fail in the experiment. The results lre even better if the sun is obscured.
