It amuses me to see the variety Of way,
In which people eat oranges. One breakfast
at big hotel will introduce you to ever,
phase of the orange eating industry. Some
spoil their oranges by sprinkling pulverized
sugar on them and then scooping the pulr
with spoon. Some peel the orange and
eat it slice by-slice out of the hand. Some
cut it into squares or eighths and squeeze
the juice out of the sections, while Others
simply make round opening and suck the
juice of the fruit Many people refuse or.
anges in public because they do not know
which is the proper way to eat them, and
there is nothing that an awkward person
can appear more ridiculous at than In eat
ing an orange.
think it is safe to follow the theory that
nothing but the knife should be applied to
fruit and that any way of eating it grace
fully from the hand is all right. Certainly
the spoon method is silly--almost as idiotic
as sticking fork through the hard middle
fiber and eating the joyous sphere away
until nothing is left but the fibrous cone at
its center. / imagine that the people who
take hold of an orange, halve 1t and halve
1t again and then swallow everything ex-
cept the seeds and skin and don't care a

OF the fruit.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

One of the amusing things of life-of nv
life, at any rate-is the pity that eastern
people feel for the residents of the west.
Women frequently, and with rudeness OF
which they seem to be sublimely uncon-
scious, put their pity into words-and they
really pass very nicely for gentlewomen,
too, but gentlemen, never If you wish to
startle both out of their seven senses, tell
them very hearth and happily that you
have always lived in the west My expert
ence Is that the most inconsiderate people
come from Boston and are usually women.
They are also the most amusing. l do not
say that they live in Boston, for l have
never met them there, but l meet them in
the west very often, and they certainly say
they are from Boston.
However, must confess that 1t has been
also my experience that every one who had
lived within GOO miles of Boston and spent
one week OF a fraction thereof under Bos,
ton roof is straight from Boston by the time
he reaches the Pacific coast. This must be
because they are uncertain as to their own
merits and prefer to trust to Boston's to
carry them through. At any rate, it is
worse than useless, because the one alto
gether beautiful and desirable thing about
the west is that it doesn't care totemstick
where you arc from, who your father was
or who your mothers great aunt was or
indeed whether you ever had either so long
as you are bright and good yourself.
must say here that have of course met
few very well bred people from Boston,

land that is dear to us that could hurt u.s.

full as to whether Bostons much talked of
