The Orange Eating Prohlem

There is no doubt that half the
pleasant flavor of the orange is des-
troyed by the difficulty of eating it
gracefully, although that is feat of
which, like building an open fire,
everyone imagines his method is the
best. So great terror does an
orange inspire in woman at luncheon
with the fatal example which has so
often been told hanging over her of
the man WHO broke an engagement
when he saw his sweetheart hacking
at ono, that this delightful food is gem
orally tabooed. One feels tempted to
follow the example of the dear old
lady who was in the habit of retiring
TO her room with an orange and lock-
ing the door after her. But the mys-
terry was lately solved at luncheon,
and the solution will be hailed with
delight by housekeepers. The or
anges were peeled and sliced aud
brought on the table cut up fine in
punch glasses, in which there was a
great deal of juice. In each glass there
was cracked ice and sugar, and this
delicious combination, which embodies
all the delights of the fruit. with none
of its disadvantages, is eaten with a
spoon.-[Chicago Herald.

Finest Ironelad Aioat.

At the beginning of his tragic
Chilean presidency Bal maceda ordered
three ironc!ads at the Chantlers de la
Seyne, Toulon, France. Two, it will
be remembered, were after some de-
muir handed over to Balmaceda's adj
versaries. The third, the Captain
Pratt, has just been armed and will
shortly start for Chile, where it will
be warmly welcomed. The builders
claim that it is the finest ironclad
afloat.
lis cost was $4,000, 900, besides
$4,000 for incidental expense. The
construction of it was begun in April,
1889, and it is named after the brave
captain who fell at Iquique on May
81, 1889. 1t is vessel of 1000 tons,
is 100 yards long by 20 yards wide,
draws 20 feet Of water, and is of 49,

20 Hotchkiss guns and 5 Gatling

Any girl of Il who is not deformed
can make herself attractive and even
beautiful il she will, says a we'll
known New York physician. A light
course of gymnastics and plenty of
outdoor exercise will make the figure
round and elastic and develop the
limbs Tight shoes, cOrsets, heavy
wells and late hours must be dis
carded, and every effort made TO
avoid excuses and live in rational
manner. Those having thick, oily
skin, broken by pimples or come
dones or black-headed worms, there
is no other alternative but a careful
diet, il they would have it grow
smooth and tine-grained But little
butter must be eaten, and no fat
meat, and the food consist for the
most part of vegetables and fruit. A
tablespoonful Of sulphur in honey
taken every other morning for week,
then omitted three mornings and
taken again, will clear the com
plexion in a couple Of months, but
will probably make the black specks
more numerous for week or two, A
mixture Of powdered sulphur in
diluted glycerine, rubbed on at night
with the other treatment, will soon
cause them to disappear Wash off
carefully in the morning with soap
and water, in which there is little
ammonia. After this, if the face
seems oily, wash it at night with
spirits of camphor, reduced with half
as much glycerine and few drops OF
ammonia In the morning, battle
the face as before in water with
ammonia in it, and after wiping it
carefully, sponge it over with cam
phor and water, and in short time
the fairness of your complexion will
delight you and surprise your friends
