Rich Chestnuts That Won Bride for a
Marquis.

A romantic story comes to hand from
Paris. An eccentric marquis whose suit
had been rejected by a beauty Of the
second empire hired a costers stall,
planted himself on the curb opposite her
door and every day used to send in a
pint Of chestnuts. in the heart of which
pearls. rubies and diamonds were con-
cealed. After n week the fair one yielded
and bestowed her hand upon her devoted
admirer But the marquis has since been
ruined and now earns his living in the
streets Of Paris by the same method which
formerly enabled him to storm loves
citadel. Let US hope. in the interests of
romance that the story itself is not a
chestnut-FrOm the London Globe.

It's Color Is the Result of the Bite OF an In
sect.
The russell orange is made so by a
minute insect, which comes at certain
times during the summer months in
such vast numbers as to give u grove
the appearance of being covered with
brown dust A magnifying glass shows
this insect to possess a bill-lilSe pro
boscis, with which it punctures the oil
cells Of the orange skin and causes the
oil to ez.ude, which becomes oxidized on
the surface and discoIors 1t. 1t acts
much upon the rind of the orange as
tanning upon leather, making it thin
nsr and tougher.
It is n mistake to say they select only
the sweet fruit for they cover an en-
tire grove, both fruit and foliage.
Some hold the theory that as they de-
stroy the oil cells of the riud the lorna
ton Of oil ceases and the fruit is made
richer and sweeter in consequence.
Sometimes Orange-growers spray their
trees with q mixture that destroys the
insects, but it was found that the russell
orange shipped so much better and was
so much finer in quality that they aban-
doned it The hammock and Indian
river fruit is seldom attacked by the
rust mite, hence it is not so durable for
shipping, the skin being very tender

that the Mississippi river from Memphis

IRENE food height is causing great un-
easiness, in spite OF positive knowledge
that the levees are stronger than at any
previous time in their history, and that
anything like a general overflow is prac-
ticalIy an impossibility. Levee build

afternoon. His body was feurfully
mungled by the fall, and nearly every
bone was broken. With half Il dozen
other worlUuen, Murphy was hosting

When the elevator reached the
seventh floor, Murphy, with two others,
tried to drag the safe out on to the
landing. As the safe rolled out the
elevator, relieved of the weight, jumped
up about two feet, fitting over the safe,
The landing between the elevator and
the next shaft is only about four feet
wide. The building is yet incomplete
and this shaft was open, the elevator in
it being at the top floor As the safe
tilted it pushed Murphy off the landing
over the edge of the open shaft. The
other wOrizmcn barely got out of the
way by jumping to each side. a great
crowd gathered in front of the building
when the news OF the accident spread.
An ambulance was summoned, but the
man never breathed after he struck.
Coroner Shea gave permit to remove
the body to an undertalSer's- Murphy
