Many varieties OF oranges are found in
Japan, the most noted being called Don.
hin, Hira-Mikan, Koji, Kinkan and
Nstsu- Mikan. The first in the list is by
all odds the best. Its fruit is very small,
Hat at the ends aud practically seedless,
this being its greatest popularity. 1t is
stated that out of 200 selected at random
only two were found to contain seeds.
The Kinkan, also called the Cumquot,
or golden orange, is divided into two
vsrieties-the marumi, or found fruit,
and the nagami, or long fruit. Either
IF these is eaten raw, rind and all, but
he majority Of the crop Is used in max
ng preserves, or is crystalized.
In Japan the propagation OF the orange
5 somewhat different from that pursued
IN this country. There are groves, as
lere, but the trees are planted 10 irregu-
ar patches, and many Of them placed in
terraces on the hiIlsides. Then again this
planters allow vegetables to grow between
The trees, and very often they are planted
so close together that the branches inter.
lock each other. As in the case Of mani
other varieties of trees in that Part of the
world, the orange trees are not trained
to grow upright, but on the contrary are
crooked and dwarfed. There are other
reasons for this, one being that the
Japanese prefer the low trees because the
fruit car be more easily pieSsd without
the aid of ladders, and another that the
low branches keep the ground cool and
moist, which would not be the case II
hey were trained and staked up tic
strengthen them.
The young trees are irrigated only in
the dry season, the water being dis
trIbuted by means of buckets, as IL alsc
the liquid fertilizer, which is ! placed
about the roots with hand clippers.
As early as the first OF October the
green and Jour fruit Is picked aud the
whole crop Is gathered aud packed b,
December. These oranges ara then stored
away and kept in such good condition
as to be found in the market as late q,
the end of May. A large number OF then

The Franchise In mississippi.

The new Constitution Of Mississippi
deprives of the franchise all who fail
to pay a poll tax and all whe cannot
read and write. The educational
test, however, will not be fully ap-
pl ed until 1896. During the next
four years an unlettered citizen may
retain his franchise, if he gives salts
factory evidence that he understands
such portions of the State Constitu-
ton as are read to him.
The United States census Of 1890
gives Mississippi LAT, POS colored men,
and ITO, 100 white men OF voting age,
and yet this years registration lists
contain the names Of only S,6l5
colored men and IS, 1871 white
men. About %, 900 co,ored men
aud 80, 600 white men were
disqualified because they. did not
pay the poll tax. That there 10 a
disposition on the part of the au-
thorities to administer the educational
test fairly is evidenced by the fact
that the illiterates admitted to vote
after constituting the Constitution
were about equally divided between
the races.
Without passing upon the ultimate
political wisdom OF the dIsffanchise-
ment Of an actual majority Of the
citizens, IL must be admitted that
Mississippi has devised a very In
gcnious method of securing by peace

HE WAS SUSPICIOUS.

SEVEN a statesman is picked up some-
times" remarked the Congressman to a
crowd of listeners. '.On one occasion |
was going over my district to get postel,
and in my rambles l ran across an old
fellow away up on the head waters of a
creek. He was hoeing corn in a field
near the road, and I stopped to talk with
him.
"'Good morning. I said pleasantly.
"sMornin'.' he responded, but never
stopped his hoeing.
"'Right nice looking 6eld,' re-
marked.
"'Might be wurs,' he replied still
hoeing.
"sExcuse mel veatured, 'but Pm

trict.'
".Air your he asked, still hoeing. q

"'T'm much obliged, I'm sure said.

said, still hoeing, 'ef you don't take
nothin' else,' and he looked at me so
suspiciously that I babe him good aay

One Of the editors of the Amcri.
can Law Review spent his summer
vacation in Iceland, aud crossed that
island twice on horseback, and then
sailed round it. He spent over Il
month in the interior OF the country.
sleeping every night IN some farm
house. He had a good opportunity to
observe the state of civilization in
that far-of and most interesting
country.
The island had about seventy-three
thousand inhabitants at the last cen
sus, and there is no reason to believe
that it has shrunk below that figure,
especially as the three past seasons
have been warm, the same as in
America.
The whole military force of the
island consists of two policemen in
Reykjavik, the capital. There are
but two lawyers in the island not
holding public offices. One Is what
we would call the States Attorney,
and the other is on hand to defend
any person who may be put on trial

A REAL KNIGHT.

A pleasing sight it was, I do assure
you. Not the first part of the scene, for
the little maid was crying bitterly.
Something very serious must have hap
pened. Wondering, l paused; when
round a corner came my knight. On a
prancing steed? Wearing q glittering
helmet and greaves of brass? No. THIS
was a nineteenth century knight, and
they are as likely TO be on foot as on
horseback. Helmets are apt to be straw
hats or derbys; and, as for greaves, well,
knickerbocKers are more common to-
day.
This particular knight was about ten
years old-slender, straight. open-eyed.
Quickly he spied the damsel in distress.
Swiftly he came to her aid.
"What's the matter?" l heard him
say.
"Alasi the "'matter' was that the
bundle she held had "bursted." and
its contents were open to view. Prob
ably the small maid expected a hearty
scolding for carelessness. And, indeed,
whoever put that soiled shirt and the
collars IN her care might reasonably
have been vexed.
The boy tried to fix the broken wrap
per but could not. A new piece of
wrapping paper also proved too frail.
Must the child get a scolding? Poor
little souli No wonder she had sobbcd
so mournfully.
But the boy was not daunted. He
tucked the "bursted" bundle under his
W arm.
''I'll carry it to the laundry for you"
he saidin the kindestvoice, and off the
two trudged together.
Soon after, / met the small girl again.
She was comforted and serene.
"Was that boy your brother?"HI
asked.
She shook her had.
'Did you know hIm?"
Another shake.

generally disparaging title Of novel"
is the only qualification. Especially
of the yoluminous writer, inspired
by the strong and continuous impulse
Of that power of narrative which,
in its way, is a passion, must this be
said. He or she who writes two or
three books has a better claim for
partial immortality than he or she who
writes a score; not always because the
score are usually weaker than the two
or three, but because the current of
time is not strong enough istrong as
it is) to carry SO much along with 1t.
Thus it Is, as we have said, a very
costly thing to be a novelist. In al
most every other art and occupation
it is 4 credit to the workman to do as
much as he can, but In this 1t is the only
wisdom TODD as little as you can. The
public may grasp eagerly at your
novel to amuse itself withal, and
