Acting Its Song.

The white banded mocking bird Of
southern South America-the finest
feathered melodist in the worlds one
of the species that accompany music
with appropriate motions. And just as
its song is, so to speak, inspired and an
improvisation, unlike any song the bird
has ever uttered, so its motions all have
the same character of spontaneity .and
follow no order, and yet have g ace
and passion and perfect harmony with
the music unparalleled among birds pos
sessing similar habit. While singing
he passes from bush TO bush, sometimes
delaying few moments on and at others
just touching the SUBMITS, and at times
sinking out of sight in the foliage, then
in an excess of rapture soaring vertically
to height of hundred feet, with
measured wing beats like those of a
heron, or mounting suddenly in wild,
hurried zigzag, then slowly circling
downward To sit at last with tail out
spread fanwise and vans, glstening
white in the sunshine, expanded and vi
brating, or waved languidly up and
down, with motion like that of some
broad-winged butterfly at rest on a
flower Lougman's Magazine.

Orange Culture.

1t is estimated by competent authori-
ties that in Florida there are 10000. 600
orange trees, bearing and non bearing.
In Arizona, new section as regards
orange culture, there are about 1000,
600 trees that will come into bearing
withir few years. In California there
are 5000, 600 trees, part of which are
bearing and part will produce in few
years. AS each tree grows not less than
two boxes, and sometimes reaches as
high as ten, il can easily be seen that in
ten years from to-day the production Of
oranges in the United States on the basis
of the low average Of two boxes tree
will be "a, 00O, 900 boxes, or enough to
supply the whole world. 1t is no won.

gagged in marketing the orange crops are
casting about for favorable outlets, such

AROUND THE HOUSE.

Clean plaster of paris ornaments with

Tinware badly tarnished should be
boiled in soda and water before scour-

A little paraffine rubbed on screws will
make them enter wood more easily.
Flatirons should be kept as far as
possible removed from the steam of cook

Table linen should always be mended

Never wash bread board in an iron
sink. The iron will leave black mark

move. Wash the board on the table
where it has been used with cold water,
scrubbing occasionally with sand soap.

They Turn n Crank.

1t is said that the only manual labor"
to which conviots in the English prisons
are subjected is the turning of crank
handles, heavily weighted with lead and
working heavily inside a box, when n
mechanical device registers the number
of revolutions made, from $3.50 to II, 900
constituting days work. Among the
purely mechanical labor is included the
working at the crank handles of the
huge water pump. and by cranks, too,
all the meal used in the prison is ground,
but in the case Of corn-grinding the
prisoner may rest as often as he likes,

gentleman's researches amounts only to
a very small fraction of the $50 different

However, the result may be of some
interest:
