Uses for the Orange.
From the pittsburg Dispatch.


In view of the prospects of the future
developments in orange production in this
country, attention has been drawn to the
supplementary uses to which the products
Of the orange tree can be put In their
natural state the orange flowers serve to
flavor drinks, candies, etc. When distilled
they yield the much-esteemed orange flow
er water, and essential Oil called neroli.
When treated with sugar, the flowers form
4 delicious candy. which is said to be not
only exceptionally palatable. but more
wholesome than many other productions of
the confectioner's art. The flowers Sc
lected with care, weighed and immersed
in cold water for twenty-four hours, after
which they are dipped in cold water, re-
washed. and finally spread out on a linen
cloth or sheet to dry. When quite dry they
are laid out in low, wide dishes, each flower
separate from its fellow, and then sDrink-
led with double their weight of sugar ad-
ministered at intervals over a period of
eight days. They are meanwhile moved
and kept in the shade. At the expiration
of that time they are once more placed in
the sun, whose rays dry them completely.
The orange flower water is made of equal
proportions in weight of blossoms and wa
ter. which yield on an average about one
fifth Of pound weight of water and flow
ers and aqua nanfa, with about .O007 per
cent Of essential oil. At present the best
manufactures Of orange flower water are
to be found in France, where q spirit call

ton of the leaves.

Venus Long Day.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


II the observers at Flagstaff are right IN
their conclusions that Mercury and Venus
make but one revolution on their axes
during their journey round the sum- so that
each day is year long, these planets can
not be inhabited by people constituted like
those on the earth. 1t has been supposed
that Venus at least was very similar 10 the
earth in its phenomena and characteristics
and might be peopled by much the same
kind of beings: but as Venus period Of ro-
tation is nearly the same as that of the
earth 1t must have six months of unlnter-
ru-rted sunshine and six of continuous
night-conditions which, in The case of the
moon. have been accepted as implying un-
bearable heat during the day and unen-
durable cold during the night. The Flag
staff observers have the best opportunity
for observing this difficult planet that has
ever yet beer given II astronomers, and
their conclusions are therefore, most likely
to be correct; but it may be noted that
Schroter and the two Cassinis have all cal
culated its revolution to be accomplished
in about twenty-tEree hours and twenty
one minutes. The phenomena on which
their calculations were based, however
were confessedly few and uncertain and if
they were incorrectly traced the conclusions
drawn from them are necessarily worthless.

A PJfghtfng Stone.
From the Toronto Globe.

The archaeological collection at the Can
adian Institute has been enriched by the
addition Of valuable and historical curio
from Scotland, known as THE Plighting
Stane O. Lairg." Where it originally came
from Is not known, but as far back as
Scottish tradition goes it has existed in
Sutherlandshire, In the north of Scotland.
1t is believed to belong to the Druidical
period. The stone Is disk shaped, being
worn out in the center, and through the
hole, probably caused by the action of
water persons wishing to make an agree
ment. either relating to business or love,
shook hands, solemny promising to carry
out the contract This pledge has in all
known cases been kept religously. Mar
riages celebrated in this way when wit
nesses are present. The stone was built
into small wall extending from the church
al Lairg, but some seven eight years ago
the buildings were torn down to make room
for more modern edifice, and since then it
has been in private hands. Mr.. Hugh
Nichol of Stratford was in Scotland short
time ago, and managed to secure it. Mr..
David Boyle, the curator of the institute,
says that it is about the only one procura-
BILE. and for this reason the museum in con-
nection with Oxford University was very
anxious to get it.

Japanese Competition in India.

From Travel.
In view of the threatened competition
of Japan in American markets in various
manufacturing branches, 1t is interesting
to note the effect of Japanese enterprise
in India. An Indian journal says that the
figures modestly offered by Japan in 1885.
and again ten years later, speak with
voice that browns all sneers at the output
of people who wear grass clothing and
use paper handkerchiefs Her total ex-
ports and imports for 1885 came to $77, ,3oO.-
NO. In 1888 they reached S236,cO,OO0.
The increase, $21S. 100000. is about three
fold in the ten years. The contrast Offer
ed by some of the figures for exports alone
Is almost dramatic. Textiles rose from
1,!DO to SD. 1T ,626; Mating from S,35 to
$46l ,'f9. In ten years the export of cot
ton umbrellas was multiplied by 40, and
the total value Of the 'Satsuma" and Kaga
vases and other cheap curioS went up from
over $2.O0.OO0 to over $I1.O00,0O0. The
secret of Japan's enormous strides in tex
tiles has been that the great proportion
of the work is domestic. Last years re-
turns show over 1.OO0.000 weavers among
the people, a large proportion of whom
are women, who work al home at what Is
their traditionally natural occupation The
employment of children has hitherto been
winked at. and the little ones are taken
from school to earn two sen a day at rug
and mat making. Although it is believed
that the national temperament is NOT one
that invites the labor agitatcr, and it will
probably be long before socialism or hatred
or the capitalist takes root in land of
such uniform prosperity and content it is
stated that the japanese workman is al
ready showing disposition to initiate his
western brother in the matter of demand
Ing higher wages. These are all factors
IN the commercial future of Japan in its
bearing on other nations which cannot be
overlooked.

AN HISTORIC CANNON.
The Gun From Which Was Fired the
Last Shot of the Civil War.

Last Shot of the Civil War.
From the New Orleans PicayGne.
The cannon which fired the last shot in
the last battle of the last is gun
worth knowing something about. Hence
the sale of the S-inch columbiad, Lady
Slocomb," which is advertised in the Mobile
Register, arouses the interest of old soldiers
and old soldiers sons.
This last engagement" said an old SOL
dier yesterday, took place at Spanish Fort.
This engagement, of course. was not a
regular battle. and is not, perhaps, recorded
a conflict fierce Gen. Forrest had sent to
Spanish Fort during the last days of the
war a sufficient force of men to guard the
place. and among the number was the 5th
Battalion Of the Washington Artillery, Capt
Cuthbert Slocomb in command. The Lady
Slocomb was brought there. and there fired
its last shots when Wilson's raiders stormed
the place and took it. There the Lady
Slccomb. for a few hours before the old fort
was surrendered, belched forth fire and
scattered death, but to no avail, as the
enemy numbered several times as much as
the garrison.
After the surrender of the fort some of
the members of Capt Slocomb's command
one night rolled the Lady Slocomb off the
earthen embankment into a lagoon, or old
siush hole. and buried 1t. giving as their
reason that they did not want the gun to
fall into the hands of the enemy. 1t was
afterward dug up and carried to Mobile,
where it was purchased by Henry Badger. a
prominent confederate of that place. who
had served through the war, and knew Of
