Russet Oranges.

A little item in the New York Con-
fectioners Journal, in which golden
russets and small dark russets are
incidentally stated to be the best
keeping oranges, has called to our
mind very general experience which
we have never seen referred to in
print. We buy for our own table
consumption russet oranges in pref
erence to bright oranges. and yet in
our official work we are in constant
receipt OF requests from orange grow
ers for methods OF destroying the
rust mite. The hardening Of the
skin Of the orange from the work Of
the rust mite undoubtedly keeps
them juicy, improves them for ship
ment, and retards decay. The selec-
tion OF bright oranges was fad
among growers and wholesale buyers
which did not last. The time has
come when russet oranges for ship
ment command higher prices and
when remedial treatment for the rust
mite is only necessary for great
excess OF this Acarid The change
in public opinion in this matter
shows that utility governs even sem
timent.-l Insect Life.

A SONG of HOPE.

Never mind about the weather, IL IL halls,
or if IL SHOWS;
Never mind about the weather, III the
world has one sweet rose
Never mind about the weather, pray your
prayer and sing your song
Soon the ships will sail together-sight
the harbor lights ere long
Never mind about the weather, though
the storm be sweeping far;
Back of all there beams the rainbow and
the splendor of a star
Never mind about the weather; for the
loneliest ship draws near
O'er the blacklist of the pillows, where
the harbor lights shine clear.

Antiquity Of the Alphabet.

According to Philippe Berger's
book entitled Historic de lEcritus
daLs lAntiquite, the alphabet was
invented about the year 1900 X. c.,
that invented by the Phoenicians
being without doubt the oldest of ali
the forms of expressing thought or
sounds by character. Originally it
and all other alphabets were simply
a series OF hieroglyphics or picture
characters, the idea of an elephant
or an OK being expressed by rude
sketches Of such animals abbrevia-
tions being in the form of a pair of
tusks, horns, etc. Professor Auer
says that, taking both the ancient
and modern alphabets into account,
as many as 400 different sets OF char
acters, hieroglyphics and letters may
be enumerated; that these are all
outgrowths of the Phoenician mode
OF mutely expressing thought or
sound, and that il we should set
aside slight variatioVs of form, the
grand total OF 400 alphabets would
dwindle Immediately to less than
fifty.
The best oriental scholars have
given it as their opinion that the
original Phoenician alphabet was
composed OF but sixteen characters.
yet il is known that il contained ut
least twenty-one and probably twen-
ty-two at the time when it was
adopted by the Greeks. Why or by
whom these extra characters were
invented, or why such an addition
was necessary. has never been ex-

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY i6. 1894.
The Blizzard Ragged.

The heavy electrical storm which
occurred last week Friday about p.
m. was a very unusual occurrence for
mid winter. The storm was very severe,
the heavy thunder and sharp lightning
seeming to come into collision several
times. Afterward the rain fell in tor
rents. Michigan can boast OF any
amount of variety in weather. Since
then we have had snow, rain, sleet,
freezing and thawing up to Monday
morning when the wind thought 1t
would take its turn and aided by vast
amount of snow, through the day and
through the night had things generally
their own way while most people staid
indoor and wondered in what shape
Michigan would serve up her next
batch of weather. The storm was the
worst since that of April 1886, when a
gale very similar to this occurred, but
was more unusual coming as it did in
the spring of the year. Last winter,
about this time we had a heavy snow
storm but with less severity. Tuesday
morning the wind had abated and
people woke up to find that snow
shovels and strong arms must come
into play, as the beautiful in many
places was piled as high as ones head
while in others the ground was nearly
bare. There is no sleighing. If the
snow should leave as suddenly as it
came we predict that the ground will
be somewhat moist. Traffic on the
railroad was much delayed by the
drifts, the late train down Monday
night reaching here about one o'clock
Tuesday morning where it remained
until nine O'Clock. The snow pillow
was working through all night and
during Tuesday each train was sup
piled with two engines. No train came
from Port Huron until afternoon. The
fiercely beating and drifting snow made
bad havoc in nearly every house in
town, driving in every available crevice
and thawing, dripping down, many an
attic was filled and wall paper and
other articles spoiled. We don't care
for many repetitions of this days ex-
perience.

LANSING. Feb. S, 1894.

LANSING, Feb. s, 1894.
The weather during January was
variable but not severe. The ground
in the southern and central counties
was bare from about the 25th of De-
cember until about the same date in
January. On the 23d, oath, and 25th
of January it showed generally
throughout the State and covered the
ground to depths varying from lightly
to several inches. The average depth
of snow in the southern counties on
the 3lst of January, was about inches;
in the central counties, 81 inches; and
in the northern, inches. The average
depth on the 18th of January in the
northern counties was over inches.
Correspondents are about evenly divi-
ded as TO whether or not wheat has
been injured during the month. At
date, February 8, the weather is warm
with indications that the snow in the
southern part of the State, at least,
will all be melted off.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in jan
uary, is 1,350,60l, and in the six
months, August-January, 9,l49, 636,
which is 107 ,l08 bushels less than re-
ported marketed in the same months
last year. At twenty-six elevators and
mills from which reports have been
received, there was no wheat marketed
during the month.
The condition of live stock averages
not quite as high as one year ago. The
figures range from 90 to 81 per cent,
comparison being with stock in good,
healthy and thrifty condition.
