a young man named Long, work
ing at the Fuller Hutsinpiller fac
tory, and some fellow workmen
were having 4 pitched battle with
corn obs at the noon hour We'd
nesday, when Long in running
from the missels came in contact
with Eli Hicks, who was strolling
along with an open knife in his
hand.
Hicks warned Long against COM
ing closer to him in an apparently
testing manner and Long paid nc
heed. For several moments Hicks
fourished his knife in Longs face
and dared him to intrude, when the
latter made a frantic rush at him

He Could BE Indinsrent.n

1t isn't every man that owns q silk
hat, but it is the dream Of every very
young mans life to possess one. A
young man in our end Of town went te
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved, and he wore silk hat.
He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came in gave it a
kick that practically ruined it. Most
young fellows would have had u fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
He was so philosophical that the girl
was charmed. AS they came out of the
theater they met another young man,
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
man 8 hat. and how philosophical he
was:
"Why, do you know, Jack" she said,
Charley didn't even look annoyed. 1t
was lovely"
"Umph, said Jack, with fire In his
eye, "it's all right for him to be lovely,
but it's my hat"

wreck the friendship Of a lifetime. -

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Navel Orange and How It Came to
This Country.

The first navel orange was doubtless
a freak or Sport, as horticulturists
say To make such fruit by artifice
would be impossible. 1t is abnormal
even in the bud The navel shows in the
bud as early as the latter can be ex-
amined Under the microscope. It,may
even be traced back to the flower, which
is double--though that word does not
express the idea very well, each blossom
having a secondary blossom within it.
In the developed fruit the navel is itself
a secondary orange, in. some specimens
having a distinct skin surrounding it.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book on horticulture published in
1642 gives picture of the navel orange
and calls it "pomum Adami f9tum
This is the earliest reference known.
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, and
the fruit is usually, though not always,
seedless. The variety is reproduced by
budding. Where it originated is not
known with certainty, but it was prob
ably in southern Asia Thence it was
brought to the region of the Mediterra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world A lady who had travelled in
Brazil told Mr.. Saunders, chief gardener
of the department Of agriculture, about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country Acting on this information,
Mr.. Saunders told Star reporter that
he sent to Bahia and secured dozen
young budded trees. These reached the
United States in 1870, being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated. One Of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house of the
department of agriculture. In 1878 two
of the trees were sent to Mrs. L. G. lib
bets of Riverside, Cal AT the same time
others We're sent TO Florida But those
planted in California fruited more quick
" and were the first to attract attention.
1t soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited to the
cultivation of this variety. In Florida it
is not sufficiently productive G., does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
SO handsome as those from California

Records Which Show That 1t Annotated
Fulton's Product by Twenty-Five Years.
Tho records of jefferson county, w.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat in this coun-
try. He was anticipated over % years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va. +,
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed in Frederick
county, Md, in 1855. 1t wass.ftted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
q furnace called 1.-THE Cococtin Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc., were built in Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iroh works Rumsey's boat
was so feet in length. and it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center of the
vessel The water was drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe. The entire weight of
the jmaehinery was 665 pounds, and
the tonnage of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc., took up space of very lit
tie oyer feet square.
The first public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river ON March IA. 1856,
when the boat showed q speed Of four
miles an hour up stream The records Of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son of Maryland were among the pat
rons Of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal -

While using these she had second fan,
the knee grew worse and the Limb con-
tracted. Tie following August the doc
tors decided to bandege the leg. They
pulled the knee-joint apart by main
strength and put Il in q plaster bandage.
"During the si~ months the use OF the
plaster-of-paris bandage was continued,
limb grew worse instead of better. All
sorts OF appliances and bandages were re-
sorted to, but there was no improvement
the disease continued its tnroads.
Five Assesses
AOrmed on the limb. We took her TO
q prominent hospital. The doctor said
it would be necessary to open the leg and
scrape the bone, and perhaps finally to
Amputate the Limb.
She had wasted away to q mere shadow
and as didn't believe she could survive
the operation, I made up my mind she
might as well die with two legs as one.

Hyphenated names in Europe may DO

Light.

of light that the eye experiences is caused
by the effect of 500, 900, 600, 600, 900 of

by the molecular energy of the sun, travel
ing along it rhythmically. If the waves
have a lower frequency than this $780, 600,
600, 900, 900, they will chiefly engender
heat. In our artificial methods of getting
light we imitatively agitate the ether so
poorly that the waves our bonfires set up
rarely get above the rate at which they
become sensible to US in heat, and only a
few waves attain the right pitch or rapidity
to cause the sensation of light
