Storing Oranges in the Caves.

A very interesting discovery has been
made by Mr.J. c. Briggs, of Russellville,
Ky, which, if experience verifies, will
revolutionize the orange trade of Florida,
and give it q much moro assured value.
The problem which confronts the orange
grower is the season at which the fruit RI
pens and must be marketed.
If the supply over and above the winter
demand could be saved until tho warm
summer months and fresh juicy oranges
could then be placed upon tho niarkcs
there would be ready demand which
would take all that are offered. This is
the very problem that Mr.. Briggs claims
to have solved. He stated at the meeting
Of orange growers in Jacksonville the
other day that he had been informed that
in order to keep oranges long while 1t
is.necessary to store them wl,ere the air is
cool end dry. It occurred to him that
these are the characteristic qualities of the
air found in the caves of kentucky. In
the Mammoth Cave, for example, the
temperature is about SO degrees the year
round, and the air is so dry that the rem
nants Of the old wooden nitre vats seems
to be almost iiuperishable. Acting on
this suggestion he had placed quantity
of oranges and lemons in two caves, one
of which has temperature of 40 degrees,
and is large enough to hold several mil
lion boxes Of oranges. In these caves he
has kept oranges in perfect condition for
sixteen months and lemons for over
year.
Mr., Briggs now proposes to furnish
storsge in his Kentucky caves to Florida
orange growers, and enable them to mar
ket their crop at any season of the year
they find most profitable. If more ex-
tended experiments verify those already
made by Mr.. Briggs the orange industry
will take on new life, and the luscious
fruit will be a perennial blessing. instead
of winter luxury.-Correspondence Of
augusta Chronicle.

The Hulnbug OF Proverbs.

A Provsrb has been defined as 'the wis
dom of many and the wit of one." Into
many proverbs are packed pithy sugges.
tions as to conduct and generalized ex.
periences of mankind. They are sar.
castle, hortative, minatory, mirth.pro-
yoking, but they are not wiser than the
people who make them. Hence, many
of them, some of the most widely cur
rent, are arrant humbugs, asserts the
New York Examiner. IF they were
once true to experience, under certain
conditions, they are true no longer.
To say this is fiat contradiction of the
well.known proverb, Nobody is wiser
than everybody" But even that is one
of the humbugs. 1t not infrequently
happens that single man is wiser than
his whole generation. Such men become
6ras the leaders, then the martyrs, of
their age, but are the saints and heroes
of the ages which follow.
As a fsgrant instance of proverbial
unwisdom and humbug, take the dis
itch which has been dinned into the
ears of unnumbered generation Of chill
dren:
"Early to bed, and early to rise,
Makes man healthy, wealthy and WISE"
This is terse and witty generaliza-
zion of the experience of pastoral
community, where to get on in the world
it is necessary to work in the fields
from sun-up to sun.down. 1t has no
application whatever to town life. The
wealthy and wise men of town are men
who work late and rise late, and as to
health, it is notorious that no part OF
our population so suffers from all man.
ner of diseases as farmers and their
families. Yet how many have been
deprived of their natural sleep BY q
superstition, begot of this wretched
rhyme, that early rising is conducive to
health. It is only in recent years that
people have had the sleep which ma
ture demands. A, man who did 30 q
generation ago was called 'lazy"-the
most intolerable of all epithets, Frank
lin even aimed proverb at him :"Man
need FIVE hours sleep, women six, chill
dren and fools seven." Nowadays
the man who takes less than eight is 8
fool.
Take some of the maxims inculcating
shrewd business policy. "a penny saved
is a penny earned" has ruined many a
man who could not persuade himself to
spend money with judicious lavishness
in enlarging his business. The penny
saved was so large in his eyes that it has
hid the dollar lost by his foolish econo-
my. "Out of debt. out of danger" and
"better go to bed supperless than rise in
debt" are a pecious pair ,Thich have

Her long illness and the fact that her
limbs remained in nearly the same posi-
ton all the time, made her legs slightly
deformed. She is now recovering from
this deformity. She does not feel any
bad effects of her strange illness and has
felt no pains for two months.
During her illness twelve physicians
visited her but her case bafled' them all.
Nearly every Sunday persorsrom miles
around went to Mr.. Compton's home to
learn the condition of the child and to
hear the most marvellous story thaS had
ever been told them.
Before the little girl recovered, one
large stone bruise on each heel caused
her intense suffering. Often before she
became speechless she said that she felt
something in her throat like worm and
tried to reach her fingers to it to pull 1t
out. Her constant request was that she
be prayed for and she believes now that
PRAYER and a merciful God restored her
to health.
She is a pretty little girl, apparently
not over eight or nine years old, and
answered intelligently and pleasantly
all questions asked her By the reporter.
Money was left for her while she was ill
and her father brought her to the city
yesterday to let her purchase what she
wanted, and she bought handsome bu-
re- with it.
,:eyeral persons in the city who had
heard of her case, gave her presents and
she was told that when she returned to
town others would do likcwise.-Grecn-
