"A Hand-ShaDed Oran~e

Inc f1ve-fingered orange is a oreer
thlng. 1t grows in exactly the shape
OF human hand, with a thumb and
four fingers. It is a half-open hand,
that of this curious fruit. and the close
resemblance to the lean, long-nailed
hand is startling Even the nails are
identical, hard-pointed and claw-like.
tipping the orange fingers with a
length equal in some cases to three
inches.
1t is no interloper in a we'll resula ted
family of oranges, but a regular men,
Der, belonging to the Usage variety.
IL mas a family name and a Christian
name OF it's own, but it's pet name is
"hVe-fngered orange" and nobody but
the botaniSt cares to call it by the one
which means the same thing.
The tree itself is a ragged little
shru9 that does not average more than
five OF six feet in height in it's native
Japan. 1t does not grow straight, as
properly behaved tree is supposed to
DO, but is curved everywhere. It
would be very difficult to find two con-
secutiVe inches in the entire tree
whose line of direction is the. same.
Even the branches grow in spiral
form, so that the width Of the tree is
often as great as it's height. The
fruit itself is of light yellow color,
pure lemon hue, growing greenish
toward the stem. The size is i'm
mense, considered relatively to other
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
it's scent can be recognized a full mile
from where the orange is growing

Darkest Time in the Revolutio

The close of the year 1850 was, in
the Southern states the darkest time
of our 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 hither 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
cause Of the patriots seemed hopeless
1t was at this darkest hour that the
wild backwoodsmen Of the western
border gathered to strike blow for
yliberty.-"Hero Tales from American
History by Theodore Roosevelt, in

Old Salt Factory

Salt is one of the most ancient artl-
cies Of diet and it's manufacture has
at all times been extremely interest
ing. A factory of very old date ex-
lists in a Mexican town in the state Of
Michoacan. The works are more than
1000 fet above the sea level. They
are situated in a volcanic region, and
salt water drips out through various
crevices in the rock. The most primi-
tive methods are employed for making
the salt. There are little terraces built
on the hillsides, and these are covered
with f1at-topped stones. Over these
clay is placed and formed in basin
shape. In these hollows on the ter
race the brine is put and is evaporat-
ed by the atmosphere. 1t takes about
four days to clear the water out of
one of these vessels. The salt is dirty
and coarse, as might be supposed,
but is really remarkable quantity is
prepared in this fashion.

Postal Car. on city Elesctrio Hoao..

POSTAL Cars on City Electric ROADS.
At: Sullivan, postmaster OF Brook
lyn, ~ ~: y, who took a prominent part
IN organizing and introducing the pos
tai car system on city electric rail-
roads, has made public the results of
the working service in Brooklyn, for
the benefit Of such cities as have not
yet adopted it. The postal car, as used
IN Brooklyn, is Of the size Of the or
alnary@ street car usually found in
large cities. IT. has eight windows on
each side, and is divided by wooden
paftltlon in the center. AS the postal
service requires only half the ear, the
'front.' portion, which has seating and
standing accommodation for about
twenty passengers, is used by the pub
nc as smoking compartment. The
rallrcad company is thus able to de-
rive from the passenger portion Of the
car suf1lclent income to more than paw
the running expenses Of the entire
car: A sliding door opens into each
END OF the car. In the part used for
postal purposes a shelf runs along one
side under four Of the windows. On
the opposite side an iron rack supports
the mail bags. At the front end Of the
compartment large ornamental gates
prevent any one, except the motor
man, from going on the platform. Be-
meath the windows on the side, print
ed in gold letters, are the words,
United States Mail-Smoking Car"
The cost of such car is $1,000. It is
warmed in winter by an electric heat
er, and at night it is lighted by elec-
tricity. One postal clerk rides in each
car: 1t is his duty to face, separate
and distribute the mail in pigeon holes
furnished for the purpose While the
car is in transit he drops into mail
bags the matter assigned to the differ
ent stations. On his return trip to the
central Office he has all the letters
sorted in different bags ready to be
sent out of the city. During the jour
ney of the car the bags are received
through an open window on either
side, and deposited in the same man
ner. In his compartment the mailing
clerk is isolated and free from inter
ruption as is the postal clerk on the
large postal cars that run across the
country. Three trips are made daily.

A Brilliant Promise.

She was the pride Of the faculty and
the pet Of the class-a girl grappled
with logarithms only to lay them low,
and whose Latin and Greek were as
perfect as could be desired. ALI sorts
of brilliant things were expected of
her after she left the college. The
president said that she had one OF the
fp-~t minds the college had ever had
the privilege of cultivating. The lit
erat.,re professor prophesied that she
would make shining place for herself
in literature. The professor Of mathe-
matics shed tears at the thought Of
her absence from his class. AS for
each and all regarded her as a sort
rolled into one. And, in spite of these
many fond hopes and bright predic-
tions, the girl, Immediately after she
was graduated married. Ten years
later her class met for a reunion.
The members made it sort Of ex-
perience meeting. Each arose and
told what had happened during the in
terval since they last met. One had
won renown in music, another in phil
anthropic fields. Another had written
her heart out in verse, and a fourth
had become successful teacher. At
last it was the turn of the girl with q
mind. Everybody held her breath as
she arose and began: "Girls, I, too,
have not been idle. During all these
years I have won a name like the
rest Of you. am known in the city

erages nine cooks a month"

Galvanized Steel Wire Fencing.

The most extensive and complete
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 its 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 II 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 company is due to the managers;
adopting the true business principle of,
making good what they make, putting
enough material in their lines to make.
them both strong and serviceable, in
stead of producing a cheap f1imsy arr
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 demand and to-day
they have over 40 special machines,
with capacity Of over % miles Of
fence per day, and their fencing is used
in every state in the Union. The fence
most used is their Gable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing, Cable Poultry
Fence, Steel Web Picket Fence, and
Park and Cemetery Fence, and to conn
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 ...,5s .. ..s--.. ., -,

Thr0ai Paralysis.

The Prejudice Against Sleep.

The last word on the sleep discus
sion seems to have been spoken. It
appears that, after, all, the sleep slug
gard IS very rare being. It is time
that people were becoming sensible
on the subject. The popular preju-
dice against sleep works an infnity
of mischief. The tendency of the edu-
Gated is to wakefulness, and the man
who does intellectual work and exhi-
bits what his friends think a DISPOSE
tion to oversleep, is obeying healthy
instinct. Sleep recuperates him, and
he knows it. The popular notion that
young man who works with his
head, yet sleeps for nine hours, is a
sluggard, is popular nonsense. No
man whose brain is active and who
does not drink ever sleeps more than
is good for him and the cure, if he
seems to do it, is TO let him 81 eep till
he gives the habit up. Sleep is a de-
light until you have had enough of it.;
but five minutes beyond that point
it becomes a bore. Nobody sleeps
twice around the clock, or even once.
unless impelled thereto consciously
or unconsciously by exhaustion, for
which, again, sleep itself is the best
and the most natural remedy. The
contrary idea has arisen there is good
reason for believing purely from sell
fishness. Many people of mature
years have a lively recollection Of the
diligence with which they were rout-
ed out of their youthful bed, and they
resent the idea of 'pampering' the
younger generation, besides objecting
to the extreme Inconvenience and
household upsetting which arises
when any one necessary member Of
the family will not keep hours"

Whittier Saw Little of the World

= winter Saw Little of the World
s Whittier was the only one Of the
leading American authors who never
crossed the Atlantic Not -:lly did he
never go to Europe, he never went
south of the Potomac or west of the
Alleghanies. When the farm at Ha-
.Yerhill was sold in 1886, pSrt Of the
price was used to buy a small place at
Amesbury; and that house was Whit
tiers home for more than half cen
tury. After his return from Philadel-
phfa, 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

Diamond Setting for roolx.

q In working hard materials with dia-
monds set in metal there has always
been difficulty in preventing the
stone from being ripped out by the
strain. An effective method of doing
this has been devised. "A little block
of steel, suitably notched to receive
the diamond, is brought to red heat,
the diamond inserted, and the block
is passed through small roll. The
diamond is thus firmly imbedded IN
the block, though projecting slightly
beyond it's surface, and defes the
strain of the most exacting work.
