Eating an Orange.

Those who take an orange every
morning may like to try the manner
of eating them that prevails in the
land of oranges. Take 3 thin-skinned,
heavy orange. thrust Q fork through
1t from the stem end, and with q
sharp knife cut the rind away, be-
ginning at the fork and cutting
downward. Place the orange on ice
for half IN hour and bring it to the
table with the fork still in it. II
oranges r good they can be eaten
from the pulp with perfect ease and
with much more satisfaction than
will be experienced in anv other way.

Back with Rich Trophies.

Last spring we made notice in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A. Salzer OF
the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse,
Wis, Americas leading seed growers
and merchants, was in Europe in search
of are seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue,
his trip was an eminently successful
one. It is brimfull of rare things. OF
especial merit we name the Bismarck
apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Flowering Star Phlox, the Ger
man coffee berry, and for the farmer,
the Victoria rape, Germanica Vetch,
the Lathyrus silvestris, the Giant
Spurry and Giant Incarnate clover,
Sacaline, and dozens of other r
things.
This wide-awake firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent for
SC postage, would be cheap at $l.0o
per copy.

HOMES FOR WORKINGMEN.
Report Of Labor Commissioner Carroll
Wright.

Report OF Labor Commissioner Carror
WASHINGTON, Feb. .15.-Carroll u.
Wright. United States commissioner
of labor, has transmitted to congress
his eighth special report. Its title is
the Housing of Working People,"
and it has been prepared under the
direction of the commissioner by DIR.
E. L. Gould, formerly a statistical ex-
pert of the department. who has been
studying the conditions abroad.
y One chapter t~reatssof public inter-
vention in the housing of working
people, giving the most notable laws
and furnishing data showing encour-
agement accorded by municipalities
and various public institutions. The
German savings law of 1892 permits
the general savings bank of that
country to loan money at reduced
rates of interest through joint
stock and corporate loan or
building companies founded on
certain conditions, and also provides
for the insurance of the purchasers
life, so that in case of death the home
Immediately becomes the property of
the family. Under it the acquisition
OF a home is made SO easy that where
the period OF prepayment by Install
ments is fixed at fifteen years or
over; the actual cost to the pur-
chaser is less than prevailing rentals
during the same time.
Three chapters deal with model
housing under three phrases-block
buildings, small homes and lodging
houses. A history of leading agencies
and the financial result attending
their operations are given. The
general lesson CLEANED from the
study of the facts IN these chapters"
the report says, lis encouraging.
1t shows that the proper hous-
ing of the great masses of
working people car be conducted on
a satisfactory commercial basis. With
the development of rapid transit in
the electric age just dawning, posi-
bilities will be greatly increased.
The potency OF real rapid transit as a
factor in relieving c~ongested districts
and extending popular proprietorship
of home is not yet fully understood"
A chapter deals with the economic
and ethical aspects of improving
housing. Under the latter facts Of
great significance, CLEANED from Off
cial inquiries in several European
cities, showing the relation of bad
housing to intemperance, immortality
md crime, and the improvements re-
sulting from amelioration in living
environments are quoted at length.
Model lodging houses everywhere
have turned out to be thoroughly re-
munerative Investments. The expert
ence of Glasgow may be studied with
great profit. More than this, they
are of i~ncalculable benefit in prevent
ing overcrowding and immortality.
The last chapter reviews some Of
the important conclusions, and closes
with the significant observation that
the general teaching of the present
inquiry affords in most respects q
certainty and in others more than g
responsible probability that a final
solution of a difficult social problem
can be wrought out along economic
lines

HORSE LOVERS INTERESTED.

Feats at the Pavilion.

Professor Gleason Performs Wonderful
Feats at the Pavilion.
A new kind of show is being given at the
Pavilion. Crowds of horse-lovers, ladies
as well as gentlemen, are becoming inter
ested in the exhibition of power over wild,
vicious and nervous horses which is being
given by Professor Oscar R. Gleason, who
announces himself as the liking of horse
tanners"
Local horse-owners are invited to bring
animals to the Pavilion to be tanned and
trained. Most of these horses are noted as
being almost useless, because of nervous
ness or bad habits
Vicious kickers after a short but de-
cisive struggle submit to having tin pans
tied to their tails without finching.
Nervous horses trot unconcernedly
through bundles of flying papers,
and stand quiet while punches of
irecrackers are fired under their feet,
drums are beaten under their noses and
umbrellas are suddenly opened and waved
around them.
Last night the audience manifested
marked appreciation as a particularly
nervous animal belonging to Felix Heine-
man of GIG Larkin street was being handled.
When the animal finally walked out with
its head under an umbrella the applause
was spontaneous. Some very bad horses
are booked for subjugation tonight.

sold out, for all the unreserved seats were
occupied before the concert began, and
though a number of reserved seats re-
manned empty all through the concert,
there were more than enough people to
fill them standing at the back of the hall.

The Hawthorne Society," which delights
to honor talent wherever it finds that
commodity, turned it's attention last night
to a local musician by giving concert in
the auditorium of the Y. M. c, A., to in
troduce some new compositions by H. R.
Pasmore.
Hitherto Mr.. Pasmore has obtained a
good deal more recognition cut of Califor-
MIA than he has at home. In musical
Leipsic some of his works were kindly re-
ceived when he was student there, later
number of his songs received recognition
in the East, and some of his music was
successfully produced during the Worlds
Fair.
The works produced last night, however,
were unpublished ones, and though the
character of most of them was serious, at
times almost ecclesiastical, they made on
the whole very favorable impression on
the audience.
II Arise From Dreams of Thee" sung by
Loring P. Rixford, was very effective

sort OF melancholy, which was increased
by refrain, sung almost in whisper by u

BY THE LANTERNS FLASH,
A Trip Round the World With
the California Camera
Club.
Success and Applause Meet the
Fifty-Ninth Stereopticon
Exhibition.

For the fifty-ninth time in its history the
California Camera Club gave one of its pho
tographic exhibitions last evening in the
Metropolitan Temple. The lecture and
the slides shown were styled lola Po-
drida," and the suggestion of the subject
was fully carried out in the variety OF the
scenes displayed.
All but very few of the slides were
beautifully colored, and many pretty
effects in moonlight and in the lights and
shades of water landscapes were shown.
Mrs. H. B. Steele lectured upon the
views as they were presented. They
opened with conventional figure of free
dom waving huge and richly tinted
banner of the Union, and, having
thus periodically started, the audience was
hurried around the world with a speed
possible only to the camera. A few scenes
from; the Yosemite followed, then
ice bound Alaska, then a fteting
glance at the glories OF the Yellowstone,
and then with the shifting of the light to
the shores of the Emerald Isle.
Some time was spent among the ruined
castles of Ireland and among its
mountain lakes and valleys, and
then the shores of Loeb Katrine, the cliffs
of Ben Lomond, the ruins of Melrose
Abbey and all the spots of bonny Scotland
made famous by Scott and Burns flashed
on the big white screen.
! England followed with her crowded CITY
| streets and her homelike country houses.
| her towns and castles and palaces. Then
came Holland and her people, her wind
mills, her cows and her marshes, and last
of all was India.
Along the shores of the Ganges, through
temples and mausoleums, the glittering
pictures led the audience until the final
good night shown for a moment in the
darkness and then faded in the light of
the reminding chandelier.
There were two intermissions and in
G. T. Wendell R. W Smith 'V G. f +, Gag Ue
and E. G. MacBaine, entertained the
audience with its songs. The singing was
frequently encored, and for encores
the quartet sang of the wars of tom, the
Piper's Son." Of "Simple Simon" and such
kindred ditties, to increasing and enthusi-
astic applause.
