Bottle Bells.

Take two chairs, two sticks and Is wine
bottles. Rest the first stick on the tops OF
the chairs and second stick across the ends
of tho two seats, the chairs being turned
back to back. Now hang the empty bot
ties to the sticks with strong string, each
string having a double loop. If tho bot
ties arc all of the same size and shape
they can be tuned by pouring water into
them--the more the water the lower the
note. Strange to say, every empty bottle
when struck gives out an entirely differ
ent note. Besides wine bottles ordinary
medicine bottles may be used. With O
musical ear it is not at all difficult to ar
range the bottles and fill them with water
to just the right height to produce the diff.
ferent notes. Now take a light stick with
spring" in it, and strike tune on the
bottles.

iAches. 1t belongs to the orange variety.
According to tho San Francisco Chronicle
which illustrates it, gentleman of that
city found the odd plant year or two ago
over in Japan He thought he had dis
covered sort of missing link, so he bought
It and brought it home. 1t is hardy
shrub, the outdoor climate Of San Fran
cisco agreeing with its health excellently
we'll In it's native country it Is usually
kent potted, and the Japanese seem to be
fully alive to its value as an ornamental
curiosity, for Mr.. Gonzalez found it diff
cult matter to get one to bring to Amer
lea, and SO far nobody else ever did get
one.
The orange tree 10 ragged little shrub
that does not average moro than five or
six feet in height. 1t does not grow
straight, as properly behaved tree is sup
posed to do but Is curved everywhere.
There Is generous supply of thorns hid
den under the leaves, and they are thorns
that mean business. The leaves are fleshy
long and narrow and Of a dark green
color. They resemble lemon leaf more
than an orange leaf
The flowers come out in June and July
and are very similar in appearance and
odor to the ordinary orange blossoms,
save that they have delicate pinkish tint
which Is very beautiful.
The fingers of the orange divide at about
half the distance from the wrist, and
though the division lines can be plainly
seen throughout tho entire length of the
hand they do not destroy its contour.
Tho fruit itself is of a light yellow color,
pure lemon hue, growing greenish to-
ward the stem. The size is immense, the
largest ones measuring when mature fully
10 inches from the W rist to tho point of tho
middle finger. The fruit is not edible, but
what it lacks in being unable to tickle the
palate it more than makes good in per-
fume Tho strangest thing connected with
tho perfume is that it is the fruit and not
tho flower that is most odorous. The fruit
when ripe is so redolent that its scent can
DO recognized full mile from where the
orange is growing.

During the past year the leading auc-
tioneers and dealers in horses and carriages
between Sudbury and Causeway streets,

sively In The Boston Sunday and Daily
Globe.
The fact that, after one years trial of
this policy, these firms have decided to
continue tho exclusive use of The Globe
as the medium for announcing their
auction sales, etc, is a splendid indorse-
ment Of The Globes value as an adyertis-
ing medium.

FISHWAYS.

One Of the little known acts Of the
late Legislature was Chap. 337, authori-
zing and requiring the building of Fish
ways on the dams on and across all
streams in the State Of Wisconsin on or
before Mar. 1896. Section l requires
the construction of such fshways in
accordance with plans furnished by the
secretary of the State fish commission,
and provides that the necessary and
original cost of such construction shall
not exceed $3.50.
Section 2 provides that such fishways
shall be kept open from Mar. 1st to June
18th of each year.
Section ) provides that the State
board of fish commissioners may sus-
pend the operation of the act with
respect to such dams when it shall be
made to appear that such tishways are
not necessary to the free passage of
fish, or that there are no fish in the
Streams over which the State has
exercised any protective jurisdiction.
The remaining sections provide for
penalties for neglect or refusal to COM
ply with the law-ten dollars a day for
each and every day such fishway shall
not be open and unobstructed during
the time specifed-one-half of fines
collected to 90 to informer.

What Men Like In Women.

Men like, in the first place, amiability
in woman. They like pleasant
appearance. They like the doing of
little things that are pleasant to them.
They like the courtesy of the fireside.
They like women whose lives and faces
are always full Of the sunshine of
contented mind and cheerful disposi-
ton. They like ability to talk we'll,
coupled with a proper appreciation of
the charm of timely silence. They like
a motherliness large enough to under
stand the wants of the older as we'll as
of the younger boys. They like a
natural disposition to speak good rather
than evil of any human being. They
like sympathy, the ear that lends itself
willingly to the tale of sorrow or glad
ness. They like a knowledge of how to
dress well-which, by the way, does
not mean conspicuously. They like
intelligence, but they prefer that the
heart should be stronger than the brain.
They like to find in a woman a COM
panion-one who has sufficient
knowledge Of the world and its ways to
talk we'll with them; who is interested
in their lives, their plans, their hopes;
who knows how to give a cheerful
word or to listen quietly and by a
tender look express the grief which
the heart is feeling. A man may some
times say that children are bore and a
nuisance, but he Will shrink from a
woman who declares her dislike of them
A man expects the maternal instinct in
woman, and is disappointed if he does
not find it. Men like women to be
affectionate; there never yet was man,
no matter now stern, how cold, how
given to repressing his own feelings,
who did not like a loving pressure of
the hand or tender kiss from the
woman nearest to him.
