CURIOSiTiEs ABOUT CP,.GEs.

Something OF the II;~t~-~ q u. Sow
Common i .u...
The name orange" : from The latin
aurum meaning gold or Of golden color.
The fruit was originally a small bitter
berry about the size Of : Common early
Richmond cherry, and very seedv. It
has been cultivated iii Hindoo,tan from
a very remote period. and was taken
from that country to Arabia and Persia
in the eighth or ninth centuries. It is
said to nave received little or no atten-
ton from cultivators of fruits in either
OF the countries last mentioned above
prior to the beginning of the tenth
century, there being a tradition that it
was a "cursed' fruit, SEN by Moham-
med to destroy the u~nfaithful. This
reminds me hat our common tomato
was formerly supposed to be poisonous,
it being now less than fifty years since
it was only grown as a garden curiosi-
ty. But to the orange: In the
tenth and eleventh centuries the
horticulturists of Oman and Syria
began the cultivation Of the
tree in earnest, the fruit going un-
der the name of "~bigarade." BY the
end of the twelfth century it had be-
come quite abundant in all the cOUn-
tries of the Levant, the returning Sol
diers of the Cross Crusaders bringing
1t with them upon their return from
Jerusalem. 1t was well known. but not
extensively cultivated, in either italy.
Spain or France before the middle of
the sixteenth century, four hundred
years after its introduction into the
tirst-named country, the hindrance be-
ing a survival and an addition to the
old anti-MOhammedan tradition, viz:
That the use of the fruit would cause
the partaker to enroll himself with the
legiOns of Islam, whether he desired to
or not.
The Spaniards finally attempted and
succeeded in cultivating it in their
West Indian colonies, and from there it
found its way into Florida, Central
America, Mexico and California, always
improving in size and flavor, until it be-
came what it is to-day, one of the most
perfect Of fruitS.-St. Louis Republic.

Il sometimes wonder" said a woman
, who was devoted to society and it's Gus
toms, what the end of all this tread
mill round will be. The truth is. I am
dragged to death, mentally, bodily
might almost say spiritually and NOR
ally, too. | get past the condition
where | can love my neighbor, and l
haven't charity to suffer long and be
kind all the season through. We see
the same faces, the same dresses, with
tritiing notifications. We repeat the
same phrases, go through the same
round Of entertainments and amuse-
ments, partake of the same dishes and
keep up the same society high-pressure
day after day, until life is a burden
and a WEAKNESS.
Il don't believe that many of us
really enjoy it, and do not think that
enjoyment is our real object. It's g
sort of current we get into, and there
seems to be no such thing as stopping.
Of course, in a limited way, it might be
very pleasant; but, like cream-candv
and all other good things Of life, a lit
tie Of it goes a long way, and too much
Of it is almost uncomfortable. 1 sup
pose, however, that it is the penalty
that one pays for belonging to hat
tyrannical body known as Society
and while l inwardly and sometimes
outwardly rebel, [ see no way out Of
it. The only consolation l derive from
it is hat occasionally l can arrange to
get my very few intimates together
and in some r~estful, quiet, informal
fashion talk over the situation, or else
break out of the t~yrannous round and
run away to some quiet and secluded
spot perhaps to the old homestead,
where l can find the keenest enjoy
ment in ~unearthing some of the old
p~laythings and in sitting down to
dream over the rag-dolls hat were my
greatest solace in my childish trials

GEoUNDLEss RUMoRs.

All sorts of rumors are being circu-
lated throughout the country as to
the financial condition of certain
business houses in Winston, and
some little papers in neighboring
towns are silly or indiscreet enough
to give publicity to them. 1t is
enough to say that there is no
foundation in fact for much of the
talk that is being INDUCED in, and it
is very wrong and unwise to re-
peat it.
For a city of it's size and the
amount of business that is transact
ed, Winston has stood the financial
strain remarkably well, especially
when we consider the unusual severi-
ty of last winter and our terrible
misfortunes by fire.

WILD TALK.

Lit will not advance the cause OF
the silver men to talk as they have
lately been doing in the West.
Hundreds of thousands of the best
people in this nation believe that our
present policy is bad and that it is
largely responsible for the stringency
in the money market. These people
own no gold mines nor any silver
mines. They are impartial jurors.
But the silver men call these people
"gold-bugs. They talk about con-
spiracy; they yell about plutocrats.
Yet we know that the silver States
are generally dominated by the rich
est men whose methods are most
corrupt. In fact, it. is we'll known
that the mining men have debauched
the legislature of Nevada over and
over again to elect United States
Senators.
The silver men have have gone be
yond reason; they have apparently
lost their reason. 1t would appear
so from the following statement of
of the situation in Nevada:
"Most of our people are too mad
to swear, or even to talk about what
is now being attempted by the plu-
tocracy of the East, in conjunction
with the. arch-conspirators in Len
don. They would much prefer to
fight. Plenty of mountain men
would shoulder their guns at the
first tap of the drum were the war
but begun. The men must be
there ia Washington with their reso-
lutions in their mouths ready to spit
them in the faces of the goldbug

his home and freside will fight for

EXTRA SESSIONS.

A little retrospect into American
history is now opportune. There
have been twelve extra sessions of
Congress. The first was called by
President John Adams in 1897 to
consider the subject OF our relations
with France. In 1903 Jefferson con-
vened Congress to consider his plan
for the purchase of Louisiana. He
called another session in 1907 to
consider embargo measures against
Great Britain. President Madison
in 1911 convened Congress ia extra
session to consider English depreda-
lions upon American merchantmen;
and in 1914 an extra session was
held because of questions growing
out OF the war of 1912. Over twenty
years elapsed before the next extra
session. That was in 1887, when
Van Buren, was president, and its
object was to consider the condition
of our finances. A similar reason
caused President Harrison to call a
session in 1871. The next extra ses-
sion was called in 1856 to make ap-
preparations for the army. Congress
was next convened in extra session
in 1861 to consider ways and means
for prosecuting the civil war. 1t was
not found necessary to convene an
extra session from that time until
1877, when President Hayes called
Congress together to pass an apprc-
priation for the army. In 1879
President Hayes called another
extra session to pass appropriations
for the army.
