The name orange" is from the Latin
aurum, meaning gold or of golden
color. The fruit was originally Il
small, bitter berry about the size of Il
common early Richmond cherry, and
very seedy. 1t has been cultivated in
Hindustan from a very remote period.
and was taken from that country to
Arabia and Persia in the eighth and
ninth centuries. 1t is said to have re-
celyed little or no attention from cult
vatOrS of fruits in either of the coun-
tries last mentioned above prior to the
beginning of the tenth century, there
being tradition that it was a cursed
fruit sent by Mohammed to destroy
the unfaithful.
In the tenth and eleventh centuries
the horticulturists of Oman and Syria
began the cultivation of the tree in
earnest, the fruit going under the name
"blgarade.' By the end of the twelfth
century it had become quite abundant
in all the countries of the Levant, the
returning soldiers of the Cross (Cru-
saders) bringing 1t with them upon
their return from Jerusalem. 1t was
we'll known, but not extensively cult
waited either in Italy, Spain or France
before the middle of the sixteenth cen
tury, the hindrance being survival
and an addition to the old anti-Moham-
medan radition-namely, that the use
of the fruit would cause the partakcr
to enroll himself with the legions of
Islam whether he desired to or no.
The Spaniards finally succeeded in
cultivating it in their West Indian col
onies, and from there it found its way
to Florida, Central America, Mexico
and California, always improving in
size and flavor until it became what
it is to-day, one of the most perfect of
fruits.

Keep tho Teeth Clean and the stomach
In Good Order


Il could wed the woman with a face
like a cow We're her breath as sweet" :"
is quotation correctly or incorrectly
attributed to Lord Byron, but never
theleSS significant
A bad breath is the strongest argu-
mcnt against intemperance, Incidence
and personal neglect that a gentle
woman should require. Genius, talent
beauty, wealth-nothing can make the
society of Il woman tolcrable who
breatheS forth the creations of disease
and disgust. Usually bad digestion is
the cause; the stomach is charged with
Superabundant or indigestible foods re-
Quiring extreme muscular effort to di
gcst, and, being unable to exert this
force, the indissoluble mass, instead of
being digeSted, putrfieS and bad
breath is the result
The same result is caused by decay
ing or unclean teeth, Inflammation of
the respiratory organs and the con-
sumption of malodorouS dishes bad
cold will often make the breath dis
agreeable as well as dangerous. When
the tongue Is coated or the mouth is
sore the breath is sure to be bad A
fruit diet may not be sufficiently nOur-
iShing. but there are times when it is
L.
entS are necessary for stomach diSOr-
ders, and fruits are the best, safest
and cheapest Acid, juicy fruits or
seed berries are remedial The habitual
use of lozengeS, scented tablets, aro-
matte and medcated candies, ginger
and OrriS roots, cloves, cinnamon and
other spices to correct foulneSS of the
breath is mischievous; these aromatcs
neutralize the offensive eXhalatonS for
while, but a repetition of the cure is
apt to derange the stomach and de-
stroy the appetite.
Neglected teeth can and do make the
breath offensive. Bad teeth should be
filled. There are in New York several
dental colleges where people of limited
means can have intelligent service and
respectful treatment for the actual cost
of supplies Unclean teeth, even when
perfect, always taint the breath. Pro
fessional ethics lays the finger of 81
lence on the lips of the dentist. but at
the clinics the lecturers estimate that
the proportion of people who keep their
teeth clean is one in twenty. There Is
only one way to remove the particles
of food from the teeth, and that is by
passing thread between them after a
meal Some antiSeptic mouth wash is
needed unless the health is above SuS-
picion, and it is only Il question of taste
whether soap, listerine, myrrh, cam
phor. lemon or chloride of lime is used
in Il solution of water
Women who eat garlic seasoned foods
should retire from society for at least
twenty-four hours. A cup of black
coffee will weaken the breath a tritie.
Onion enthusiasts claim that the masti-
cation of Il thimblcful of dry tea leaves
will destroy the fumes of that vege-
table.

Nby n Wife Cbanpe. Rsr Nam.

1t is said that the practice of the wife
assuming the husbands name ut mar
riage originated from a Roman custom
and became the common custom after
the Roman occupation. Thus Julia
and Octavia, married to Pompcy and
Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey and Octavia of Cicero,
and in later times married women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same manner but omit
ted the "Of." Against this view may
be mentioned that during the sixteenth
and even the beginning of the seven
teenth century the usage seems doubt
full, since we find Catherine Parr so
signing herself after she had been
twice married, and we always hear of
Lady Jane Grey mot Dudley and Ara
bella Stuart mot Seymour. Some per
sons think that the custom originated
from the scriptural teaching that hus-
band and wife are one. 1t was de-
cided in the case of Bon VS.. Smith, in
the reign of Elizabeth, that a woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band.-Philadelphia Times.

Old Fashioned Huskinc Bees.

There has been perhaps less improve.
mcnt in the average methods of husk-
ing corn than in any other kind of farm
work 1t is still done by hand, with
The aid of wooden finger with sharp
point fastened to the hand with leather
thong, with which the husks are strip
ped from the ear. In the early days it
was common to have large fusking
bees in which the young of both sexes
took part. The growing independence
of farmers, and in many cases a chronic
dislike to be put under obligations to
return favors of this kind, has put Il
stop to this Interchange of work. Corn
huslling without companionship is per-
haps the most lonely of all farm work.
In some places the old-fashioned husk.
ing bee is still common. One of its in
cidents in the olden time was the dis
rovcry Of a red ear, which entitled the
finder to n kiss from each of the girls
present. Only one ear of red corn was
planted each year, so the red ears In
the crop did not come often enough to
seriously interrupt the work

A New Story of George Washington

Here is new story on the father of
his country. Washington's head gar
dener was from some European king
dom, where he had worked in the ROYAL
grounds. But coming to America he
left his wife behind. Homesicknass for
his guide" wOman's face soon began
to prey on him, and Washington no.
ticed the anxious eye and dropping
spirits of his servant. Finally the man
went down to the river and declared
his intention of shipping to rhc old
country, when who should come up
and lean over the side of Il newlv-ar-
rived vessel but his wife. The kind
hearted Genteral had secretly sent for
the woman, and she fortunately sur
priScd her loving husband in one of his
fits of dependency, ~ Philadelphia
Times.

REVENUE FEATURES.
Democrats Will Rush the Wilson
Bill Through the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The revenue
features of the tariff bill will be ready to
report when Congress reconvenes. and 1t
is said they will be Substantially as recon-
mended BIZ President Cleveland. There
will probably be a tax of 10 cents per gal
lon additional on whisky. The purpose
of the Democrats is to rush the bill through
the House as soon as possible and to do
this many of the members will refrain
from experimenting. The Republicans
are united In their determin alton not to
assist those Democrats who have special
interests to protect.
They will. of course, strongly oppose
tariff reduction in general, but will not
discriminate to protect any certain indus
tries, such as the coal and iron of Ala
bauis and Tennessee unless the south
erners stand in with them in their de-
mand for protection On lead, tin and all
else that requires protection from the Re-
publican point Of view. 1t is expected that
it will take six weeks or more to get the
bill through the Senate. The Finance
Committee may decide TO reconstruct tn g
entire entire Wilson bill. Three or foar
weeks will be allowed for the bills con-
sid-Iation in the Finance Committee, as
hearings will be allowed as before the
Ways and Means Committee.

THE FOOTPAD FAKIR.
One of the Worst of the Series Run
to Earth.

The police have a busy time hunting
after fUotpad fakes. One of the worst of
the season appeared in morning paper
yesterday, in which cleaning pistol
played an important part.
A long sensational story was published
TO the effect that a robber entered the toy
store OF Mrs. w. c. Kerns of 213 Fifteenth
street on Saturday night and at the point
of the cleaning pistol compelled her to
hand over her purse, containing $50 of her
hard earned money. The robber the n
bolted and Mrs. Kerns ran out and
blew police whistle number of
times, but no policeman appeared.
Then she lwent into the Humb d. Hotel
and accused a man Of beng the robber,
but both the man and the proprietor de-
MED the soft Impeachment. 1t was also
stated that the robbery was reported 10
the Seventh-street station.
The facts as ascertained by Sergeant
Burke yesterday are that Mrs. Kerns.
whose store is on Twenty-thtrd street, re-
ported TO Policeman Cook on Saturday
night that young man had entered her
store and snatched her purse, which was
empty. The young man threw quarter
on the counter and asked for change.
She pulled out her purse. thinking she
had some small change in it, but found
there were only three quarters. She
emptleu lnb purse on Ine counter, ana the
young man snatched 1t and ran out of the
store. but he did not point any pistol at
her nor offer her any threats or Violence
Shs blew a police whistle and went into
the Hum boldt Hotel and pointed out
man as the one who robbed her, The man
she pointed out is Cornelius Loughlin. a
prominent resident of Oroville, and when
Sergeant Burke took him TO the old lady
Yesterday she denied that he was the man
she pointed ont, and said it was a much
younger man.
She also said that a reporter called at
her store and she told him the same story
she had told the Sergeant, and was very
indignant when the story as published
was read to her.
Loughlin and F. Eggers, the proprietor
of the Hum boldt Hotel, are mad clean
through at the aspersions cast upon their
character and say they will demand re-
traction.
Mrs. Kerps Is Is years of age. and Is
looked upon as q crank by her neighbors.
She has been in the habit of blaming chill

A YEARS REVIEW.
Annual Report of the Geographical
Society.

oO(tCtys
At the annual meeting of the Gsograph-
zeal Society of California Fred w.
d'Eyelyn, first vice. president, read the re-
port for the past year. He said the num-
Der of memb ers is growing satisfactorily
and there are now 43S names on the roll,
Of which five are honorary. thirty life and
403 contributing members.
1.-THE death of Senator Leland Stanford
has been a severe loss to this society, the
report says. The late Governor Stanford
was a stanch supporter of geographical
science, and often spoke of his in ten ton
to make the Geographical Society of Cali
fornia the geographical branch of the
great university Of which he was the
founder; and am glad to be able to state
that there is every prospect of his inten-
tions being carried into effect by Mrs.
Stanford and the executors"
The position OF secretary. vacated by
the resignation Of j. Study Leigh last
July. has since been filled by Peter Nc
Even.
During the year several valuable works
were added to The library, which now has
1000 volumes. The society has also n
valuable collection of lantern slides. most
of them having been made for the purpose
of illustrating comparatively unknown
types of tribes and races 10 Africa, Sumat-
ira, Borneo and other distant countries.
These slides will be found particularly
useful for illustrating chronological lectures.
and will add very considerably to the
educational features of the organization.
Exchanges are made with scientific institu-
lions In almost every civilized country of
the globe. Directors for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: A. L. Bancrofs;
George w. Davis. NJ. D.; f. w. d'Evelyn,
Edwin Fretwell. Dorville Libby; Rev.
Frederic Masters. DID,; DIR. G. A. Moore.

HE THREATENED MANY MEN.
Senator Mills and Other States
men Now Feel Safe.
THE PRISONER IS VERY MILD.
Saws He Does Not Know the Use of
Dynamite and Intended
No harm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Joseph Donjon.
the man who has been writing threatening
letters to number of prominent public
men during the last two weeks, is in jail
tonight The letter from this man to
Senator Mills few days ago caused tbs
Senator's son to secure leave from the
authorities to 60 armed for the protection
of his father.
For several months past he has been
writing similar letters to number OF
prominent public men. among them Vice
President Stevenson. Senators German,
Mills and Sherman. President Cleveland
and Secretary Lamont.
During the fight over the silver question
in the Senate Vice-President Stevenson
received letters almost daily from DoDjon.
then in Newark. n. j. The Vice-Presi-
dent to-day received one dated from 404
Leigh street, this city.
DoDjon talks very nationally. and with a
rather studious effort to avoid any appear
ance of bitterness or expressing any an
archistic views. He is an Austrian by
birth, and lays stress upon the assertion
that he is a Catholic and processes piety.
As TO the letters he has been writing, he
claims he was melted to write them by
other people. and received 500 for doing
it. He disclaimed they were Anarchists
or formed any association. They were
merely private persons. He denies any
threats in the letters, or any references
whatever to dynamite.
81 never saw dynamite. and would not
know it if 1 saw it," he said. He claimed
all that was contained in any letters was a
proposition to each man addressed to for.
ward him the cost of transportation to
Washington and an offer TO como on there
and make business proposition to them.
The man tells connected story, bu the
police put no faith In the assertion that he
was melted to write the letters by other
narS0ns
