The Boone Or ange.

One day last week we received the fol-
lowing communication:
Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
sent you to-day by express prepaid
a small box of One-half dozen BOone's
early oranges, they are not as sweet as
usual at this season of the year from the
fact that there has been rain when
they grew steadily for six weeks, at
least up to September 25th, the time
they were pulled (nOt clipped), the man
that went after them forgot his clippers
and having no jack knife he pulled them
off, which makes them, at least some of
them, look bad about the stem end. The
trees have never been sprayed with any
kind of insecticide hence, the greater
part of them are rusty. Please note the
thinness of the skin; the scarcity of seed;
the smallness Of core, the compactness
of the fruit and also the toughness of the
skin and the 'fullness thereof"
G. A. BOONE.
The fruit arrived in good condition
and certainly deserves all the praise that
can be given it. 1t was not only fairly
we'll colored, but was sweet and we'll fla
vored with ripeness of tissue that was
hardly to be expected. Many Florida
oranges are sweet when green, but as
rule they are devoid of flavor fault thai
cannot be charged to the Boone.

TEMPERATURE.

The mean temperature, 78.0 degrees,
is about the mean normal for the State
for September. Tho warm period OK
tending from about the 18th, to the 9th,
gave decided excess of temperature
but this excess was offset by the cool
periods at the beginning and close Of the
month.
The highest temperatures were re-
corded at most of the stations on the
10Th, and 18th, and the lowest during
the last days of the month.
The highest temperature recorded dur
ing the month, 100 degrees, occurred at
Bristol on the 10th, and the lowest, so

mum temperature, o. degrees, occurred

average September PRECIPITATION for the
State. The average rainfall for the

was nearly the same, about $50 inches,
while for the southern district the ave-
rage was about one inch less or, exactly,

Dinner EtIouette.

On elegant tables each plate is accom-.
panied by two large silver knives, small
silver knifeand fork for fish, a small fork
for oysters. tablespoon for soup and
three large forks. The napkin is folded
in the center with piece of bread upon
it. AS the courses are served the knives
and forks and spoons that have been used
are removed with the plate Fish should
be eaten with silver fork, and If full Of
bones needs the use of the knife as well.
For sweethreads. outlets, roast beef, ETC.,
the knife is also necessary. but for GRO
quotes. rissoles. bondries la Refine, tim
bales and dishes of that class the fork is
required.
When dessert is reached. everything
save the tablecloth and floral decora-
tons are removed. A dessert plate with
small silver spoon. dessert spoon and
fork, and sometimes a combination fork
and spoon for ices is placed before each
guest. Pears and apples are peeled with
a silver knife. cut in quarters and eaten
with the fingers. Grapes should DO eaten
from behind the half closed hand, the
stones and skins falling into the fingers
unobserved. and thence to the plate.
Oranges are eaten with spoon. Salad
is eaten with fork. but needs a knife
to cut large leaves that have not been
divided before serving. Cheese is eaten
with fork, though soft cheeses are
spread on bit of cracker or bread and
conveyed to the mouth by the fingers.
Saltcellars are now placed at each plate,
and it is not improper to take salt with
the knife.
The small after dinner coffee spoon is
used with the tiny cups of the black
beverage that concludes all dinners. The
spoon is the most dangerous implement
of the dinner. SO far as its correct usage
is concerned. Soups always taken from
the side and is eaten uoiselessly. To push
the spoon into the mouth either end first
or otherwise is decidedly vulgar.

The Practice Of Timing.


"The practice Of tipping is growing
steadily in this country" said an OBJ
server. persons who ten or twenty
years ago never expected tips at all do
expect them now. and persons who once
never thought of giving give now as q
matter of course. And yet it is not at
all probable that tipping will ever be-
come as widespread here as it is in some
foreign countries. The spirit OF personal
independence which leads every man
here to think himself as good as any
body else is against it. There are some
branches of work of public and semi
public nature in which those engaged
abroad willingly accept tips, while men
similarly employed in this country
would resent them. In some branches
Of work custom does not appear TO be SO
well defined.
"ln London, for instance. many stran-
gers who sit upon the box seat of an
omnibus. and who ask the driver for in-
formation about the buildings and points
Of interest on the way. offer him a tip,
and he accepts it cheerfully and as a
matter of course. A visitor in New York
who rode upon the box seat of two of the
Fifth avenue stages offered willingly
and courteously tip. One accepted il
In the spirit in which il was offered, but
not with the offhand manner that would
have characterized the London driver.

unnistakable decision, declined it,

Jerseyman OF the hills. Fitzpatrick made
good start for fame He was in the grad
uating class at West Point in the spring of
1861, and when Lincoln called for volun-
teers in April he and companion cadet pc
titioned the war department to skip the
usual ceremonies and send the class to the
front. His commencement day was passed
on the battlefield of Big Bethel, Va,
June 10, and he was wounded there while
leading the advance of the famous Dur
yeas zouaves.
The Big Bethel wound changed Kiloat-
rick n career. He WAS at home, recovering,
when the boom in cavalry recruiting was
at its height. Bull Run had been fought.
and the fame Of the Black Horse cavalry
was stirring the Yankee boys to emulate
the deeds Of southern chivalry and thread
the path of glory on horseback. He re-
