The five-fingered orange is a queer
thing. 1t grows in exactly the shape
of a human hand, with a thumb and
four fingers. 1t is a half-open hand,
tina of this curious fruit. and the close
resemblance to the lean, long-nailed
hand Is startling. Even the nails are
identical, hard-pointed and ella w-like.

1t has a family name and a Christian

the botanist cares to call it by the one

The tree itself is a ragged little
shrub that does not average more than
five or six feet in height in it's native

would be very difficult to find two con

oranges as to size of the tree, the
largest ones measuring, when mature,
fully ten inches from the wrist to the
point of the middle finger, including
the nail.
The fruit is not edible-none of the
Usage variety is-but what it lacks in
being unable to tickle the palate it
more than makes up in good perfume.
The strangest thing connected with
the perfume is that it is the fruit and
not the flower that is most odorous.
The fruit when ripe is so redolent that
its scent can be recognized a full mile
from where the orange is growing

The close of the year 1880 was, in
the Southern states the darkest time
of Il revolutionary struggle. Corn
wallis had just destroyed the army of
Gates at Camden, and his two formi-
dable ~lieutenants, Tarleton the light
horseman, and Ferguson the skilled ri
1eman, had destroyed or scattered
all the smaller bands who had been
fighting for the patriot cause. The
red Dragons rode hitler and thither,
and all through Georgia and South
Carolina none dared lift up their
heads to oppose them; while North
Carolina lay at the feet of CORVALLIS
as he started through it with his army
to march to Virginia. There was no
organized force against him, and the
Il of the patriots seemed hopeless
1t was at this darkest hour that the
wild backwOOdsmen of the western
border gathered to strike a blow for
liberty.-"Hero Tales from American

Throat PARALYSIS.

(From the Courier Herald, Saginaw. Mich.)
1t vas publicly talked all over Clare

right hand became p~aralyzed and the
paralysis extended to my arm and

Galvanized Steel Wire Fencing.

The most extensive and comp1ete
plant for the manufacture of wire fenc-
ing in the United States is the De Kalb
Fence Company, located at De Kalb.
Ill. For years prior to 1890 barbed
wire was extensively used for
fencing, but those using it often lost in
fine stock, more than it's cost and to
avoid danger to man or beast there was
need of, and a demand for, a barbless
fence.
The proprietors of this company
having spent more than IL years in the
manufacture of wire fencing, recog-
nized this fact, and have produced the
best lines of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now in use. The success of
this is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle of
making good what they make, putting
enough material in their inc to make
them both strong and serviceable, in
stead of producing a cheap f1imsy ar
ticle only to meet the price of a fence
that has never given satisfaction. This
is what has made their fence so popular
and in such great DEF land and to-day
they have over 40 special machines.
with a capacity Of over % miles of
fence per day, ard their fencing is used
in every state In the Union. This fence
most used is their Gable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing, Gable Poultry
Fence, Steel Web Picket Fence, and
Park N Cemetery Fence, and to COM
plete same they also make gates of wood
or steel frames to match, and also fur
nish iron posts. All of their styles of
fencing are strong, neat, durable and
economical in price.

kind will consu their own interests by

NeeDIhs the TaTD SItaE VI "eeuSs
The government agricultural depart
ment is trying to impress upon the
farmers of this country the truth Of
the familiar maxim, God helps those
who help themselves" The direct loss
in crops, the damage to machinery
and stock and the decrease in the
value of land due to weeds in this
country, is estimated at tens of mil
lions of dollars a year. This loss is
sustained almost wholly by the farm
ers. A government report urges the
cooperation of the whole agricultural
community on this question. In many
cases weeds canno be eX~terminated,
and their reduction to a state of conf
parative harmlessneSs is all that can
he looked for. Land owners should be
on the watch for new plants, and
learn their character, if possible, be-
fore they become established as ag-
gresSive weeds Oh farms. This is prac-
tically the only possible means of eX-
termination, unless public sentiment
is aroused to a more vigorous and uni
Versal destruction of weeds. The Off
cial bulletin on the subject insists that
any species al be Subdued and con
trOlled within the limits of an ordinary
farm, and unless the value of land is
low from other causes this work can
be p%rotitably undertaken. Prevention
of seed production is cases of ANIMALS
will gradually reduce the quantity of
weeds and prevent further spreading.
This is accomplished in cultivated
fields by burning over 10 destroy as
many as possible of the seeds on the
surface, and successive blowing is re-
quired. Broken lands should not be
permitted to remain idle. and moving
or cutting off the main stems of weeds
is deprecated as multiplying the stalks.
They should be cut below the crown
and killed.

Whittier Saw Little of the World


Whittier was the only one of the
leading American authors who never
crossed the Atlantic. Not only did he
new go to Europe. he never went
south of the Potomac or west of tie
Alleghanies. When the farm at Ha-
verhill was sold in 1896. part of the
price was used to buy Il small place at
Amesbury; and hat house was Whit
tiers home for more than half a ecu
fury. After his return from Philadel-
phia, in 1889, he was rarely absent
from Amesbury for more than a
month or two at a time, although he
did once reside the better part of a
year in Lowell. He made visits to
Boston often. and sometimes even to
New YORK; and frequently he spent
his summers elsewhere; but until his
death his home was the little house at
Amesbury.-PrOf, Brander Matthews
