Something About Oranges.

1t is orange season again, and those
%ho are fond of them are very glad to
get their favorite fruit once more. 1t is
possible to buy oranges at any season OF
the year, and as nearly everybody likes
them there is a steady demand for the
fruit all the year round. But the orange
months have always been from Decem-
Der until May. Oranges are sweet then
and very juicy.

all the way from Brazil, and as the Bra

No party remains virtuous more than

The Democrats now take the govern.

they will keep it so long as they are true

become derelict some other party, nc
matter by what name it may be called,
will issue an order of eviction. The

Immediately after lunch there is a

A lady never extends her hand to
man whose acquaintance she Is
making. She may or may not shake
hands with a lady who is introduced,
but she must not give her hand to o
range man. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long acquainted with
him, unless she respects and admires
him. A gentleman never extends
his hand to lady first. To do so
would be presumptuous, and subject
him to snubbing. A man shows
