AN EVER-BEARING ORANGE.

Mr.. Simms, proper founder of this
valuable fruit, says it is true Citrus
vulgaris found wild in the Apopka
hammocks, without the bitter of the
common wild oranges of our hammocks.
The tree has the characteristic of be-
ing in fruit the year round, and is
without doubt cross-the sour orange
with the sweet-and of holding the
fruit ON the tree for months after they
are fully ripe. The original tree has
now both green and ripe oranges, and
they are picked ripe, juicy and deli
cious any day in the year.
The fruit is more even in size and
thinner skinned than the old one, with
less rag and very few seeds, and for
home use every garden from Tampa
to Brunswick should possess it. 1t
surely must prove valuable as market
variety. Only to think of it-a ripe
orange picked from the tree before
breakfast the year round A guarantee
is given by Mr.. Simms that the origi-
nal tree was found in the month of
full of bloom, green and ripe
fruit. ND. Lindley, in Tampa (Fior-
Ida Times.

HORSES WEEP, JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

Many people believe that horses do
not weep, but those who have had
much to do with these faithful crea-
lures know that on several occasions
they will shed tears as we'll as express
sorrow in the most heart breaking
manner. In the West, where the hard
mess of ponies causes the riders to
almost overlook the necessity of provid-
ing for their needs, it is quite common
when the weather is extremely cold to
leave an unblanketed pony tied up for
two or three hours when the tempera-
ture is nearly zero, while its owner is
transacting business. In this case the
suffering is evidenced by the cries
which are almost like sobs, and unmis-
taxable tears freeze ON to the cheeks
like icicles. When horse falls in the
street and gets injured the shock gener-
ally numbs it's senses so much that it
does not either Cry or groan, but under
some conditions an injured horse will
solicit sympathy in the most distinct

TRUTHS ABOUT TEA.
Generally Considered a Harmless
Brain Bracer.
A MISTAKEN IDEA REGARDING 1T
Tea often Paves the way to a Resort to
Stronger Drugs-As Bad
as Alcohol.

In an item which will probably go
the rounds of many papers, tea is re-
commended as tonic and gentle and
harmless as a brain bfacer, because,
1T as no reaction. This is q great
mistake. Probably no woman who is
much of tea drinker, has failed to re-
cognize that there is reaction, and a
period of being down below par quite
equal to the elevated state of being
above par which tea confers. The only
normal tonic is food. or we may say,
food air and water. Perhaps it would
be fair also to include as medicine,
that which will help us to get the bene-
fit of our food, when, for any reason.
the digestive powers are below par,
but anything which like tea, acts as a
prompt stimulant, or enliyener, caus-
ing a buoyant state of the feelings, or
giving us comfortable state of the
body generally on the basis of i'll health
or exhaustion, cannot be more than
temporary in its effects. What goes
up must come down, as the boys used
to say, and for just as much citation
as we procure in this unnatural man.
ner, we must suffer a period of depres-
sion. Those who are not content to
pass through the slough of despond,
but who insist upon repeating the dose
of stimulant, whether tea, coffee,
alcohol, opium, or other Narcotics, may
for awhile think that they escape the
reaction, but it is not long before the
nervous system becomes an entire
wreck. One Of the notable examples
OF this sort Of experience that has re-
Gently been brought prominently into
notice, is that of an actress, pert and
pretty, brilliant and smart, but now the
inmate of an asylum from which it is
doubtful that she will ever return to
active, useful or merry life. The ner-
vous system has been pumped dry with
this sort of vacuum exhaust process, the

ious but certain action. Tea seems
harmless but it often paves the way to
resort to stronger drugs and it is
really no safer for women to become
steady users of tea than it is for men
to brace up with alcoholics. 1t is a
little curious how folks will go out of
their way to find fault with water and
other innocent things The same item
concerning tea objects to the addition
of milk because the casein in the milk
and the tannin in the tea form a
leathery indigestible substance which
is bad for the stomach. We would
say that if the fannie acid had not the
milk to act upon, it would itself do
more harm to the stomach in the way
of tanning or hardening it's mucous
membranes. Our notion of the best
kind of tea is that which was fed to
us as little boy, glass of hot milk
with little sugar and only a teaspoon
full from the tea-not.-Health Monthly.

BUSINESS VIEW OF MODERATE DRINKING.

A writer who is discussing the ques-
ton of drinking and total abstinence
from ap tactical business point of view
and, ignoring the moral and sentiment
tai side, says: Life insurance compan-
les find the moderate drinker a more
dangerous risk and his mortality great
er, hence refuse to insure him at ordi-
nary rates, or at all. Mercantile agen-
cies find that business conducted by
moderate drinkers is more precarious
and followed by greater number Of
failures, hence rate such firms low as
to responsibility. Railroad companies
find that accidents and losses increase
under the care of moderate drinkers;
that the income and stability of the
road are diminished, compared with
the same service by total abstainers.
Capital everywhere discovers by figures
and statistics, which have no other
meaning, that under the care and con-
troll of moderate or excessive drinkers
the losses, perils and risks of business
are increased. -Popular Health Maya

SAILING ON A BICYCLE.

For the last few weeks there has been
in the vicinity of New York another
new development of the bicycle idea.
This is an arrangement made by Mr.
Christian CAM, of Omaha, Neb., by
which he can set sail from the handle
of his bicycle, and ON a level road,
with the wind abeam, can travel all
day without using his own strength at
all, except to check the speed of the
bicycle when the wind forces it ahead
too fast. The sail is adjusted in the
following manner, and any bright boy
can amuse himself by making sail
for his own bicycle.
Mr.. GAM has taken a stout piece of
inch and-a-half or two-inch plank, cut
it into circular shape possibly five
or six inches in diameter, and by max
ing a deep notch at one point from the
circumference in toward the center has
fitted it securely around the for
ward support of the bicycle just
below the handles. Through this disk
a hole is made, precisely after the
manner of 'step" for a mast in a
rowboat. The light bamboo pole or
mast is then inserted through this
hole and fastened securely below by
stout Irvine or wire around the support
of the bicycle. The pole itself is seven
feet high, and the boom of the sail is
six feet long, with a gait Of about three
to four feet.
The sail is of light silk or cloth, and
is bent on in the same manner as an
ordinary boat sail. The foot of the
boom, however, is attached to the mast
with gooseneck, that allows the
rider of the bicycle to tip the boom
itself up against the mast at any time
he chooses; and it is in this way that
he "tacks ship" by lifting the boom
over his head to the other side.
Mr.. GAM has covered 11S miles in a
day with this sail, with almost no
work except checking the speed of
the bicycle. He is confident that on
straight macadamized road he can
easily do 200 miles with the wind a
beam, which is the most favorable d.
rection to have it come from.

OUR DAIRY NOTES.

London milkmen color their milk
with annatto, to make it look rich.
The methods of adulteration increase
all the time.
The Farmers Voice" is of the
opinion that COWS kept on thin lands
give milk that contains less butter
fats than the milk of the same COWS
would if kept on fertile lands. Who
knows?
A Vermont farmer who raised his
own COW feed, except cotton seed meal,
and kept strict account, found that
his butter cost him 1877 cents per
pound.
Too few dairymen can pick out the
best COW in their herds with perfect
assurance that they are making the
right choice. Every man who makes
business of keeping cows ought to
know from tests just what his COWS are
doing for him.
One reason why short course in a
dairy school will never be sufficient
for the purpose is that it will not drill
the students with enough thorough
ness in the absolute necessity Of clean
illness. This is the first and last thing
in butter or cheese making.
The National Dairy Union should be
encouraged in its fight against fraudu-
lent butter. The editor was present at
the Chicago meeting when the Union
was formed, and it is composed of the
best men IN the business. Every dairy
man should belong to it.
A Cincinnati paper relates in great
detail how a chemist of that city has
invented an artificial milk On which
cream rises that can be churned and
make butter. There is future before
the man that invented that story, but
we fear the temperature will be too
high for milk and butter to keep we'll.
Wisconsin has over 700. 900 COWS and
these give over 100000 gallons Of
milk day. The present drought has
been the cause of an immense loss to
the dairymen of this State. A greater
part of that could have been saved if
preparations for such an extended dry
season had been made, by sowing soil
ing crops early in the season.-The
American Farmer and Farm News.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

The principal languages which COM
pete with English, not considering such
as Chinese and Hindostanee, are
French, Spanish, Russian, and German.
French is practically stationary as re-
CARDS the number of its adherents;
Spanish is largely spoken in South
America and the southern part of
North America, but it owes its promi-
nence to the colonizing genius of its
speakers; where German is introduced
it rapidly gives way to the native
tongue, generally English; Russian,
like the German, has little influence
upon the Western civilization. 1t is
remarkable fact that, while the Eng
lish in their colonies and offshooSs have
absorbed millions of aliens, there is no
record of any great body of English
speakers having become absorbed by
any other race.
In the United States there are mil
lions of Germans and other foreigners
who have become merged with the
English speakers in single generation,
they losing even their family names;
and the children in many cases do not
understand their parents language.
In Canada, however, the French speak
ing population is increasing faster than
the English speaking. This is not be-
cause the French element absorbs the
but because it crowds it out.
While the French is seldom absorbed
by any other tongue,it is almost always
absorbed by the English. The English
has practically driven the French out
of Egypt, and it is rapidly driving the
Dutch out of Africa. This has been
in Egypt within dozen
years. The change in Africa is being
effected with even greater rapidity.
AS the English-speaking settlers rush
into the new country, the Dutch and
other languages, which are rarely to
be met with, drop into the backwoods
and are finally lost. Africa is wit
Messing repetition of the fight of the
tongues in America three centuries
ago, which resulted in victory for
the English. The history of lingual
in America alone is a
sufficient argument for the prediction
that no languages, excepting possibly
those of the Orient, will long remain
competitors of the English.

wasteful tension is antagonistic to
natures attempts to replenish the
nerve forces. 1t is most important
that you should rid yourself of this
menace to your health. perhaps to
your reason.
Relax then. Relaxation is of more
value than distraction, pleasure or
holidays. Relaxation means the free
dom of organs and tissues from this
hateful tension. How often do we
hear a hurrying woman say: L
haven't time to rest I've so much to
do" Hurry and worry are physical
sins When you feel most hurried or
worried, then is the time to relax.
What is relaxation? Simply doing
nothing. Give up; let go; surrender
the nerve forces. Here is the first step
toward learning how to relax. With
your arms hanging at the sides, forci-
bly, agitate the hands until they feel
heavy like dead weights. Shake them
forward and backward laterally and
in circle, from and toward each other.
Shake all the stiffness out of these
direct agents of the mind that by their
restlessness and tension report mental
strain. By continued practice OF this
simple exercise you will soop be able
to withdraw nerve from them at your
will. Halls Journal of Health.

hailing from a country store in Wis

HE WAS GRATEFUL.

For five or six minutes the other
afternoon patrolman stood at the foot
of Woodward avenue. alongside of a
young man who had satchel in his
hand and was waiting for ferryboat.
At length, as the officer started to
saunter away, the young man handed
him cigar and said: Thanks I'n

the officer, as he closely regarded the
stranger to see if he was drunk or
crazy.
