We pEvoUR MANY LEMONS.
California 10 Briskly Competing with the
Foreign Importation.

California ID 3E16K1y NOH1PeNAu0 "ASAs SA~~
Foreign Importation.
This country consumes in year
about SOC, OOO, 900 lemons, or about 6A
lemons for each man, woman and child.
This is going to be good lemon year.
Since the new fruit commenced to ar
rive about the 1st Of October very near
lv 100000 more boxes have been re-
ceived than came in during the same
time last season. The receipts at New
York for November, 1896, were 177.3O6
boxes, against 110,:50 boxes for Novem-
Der. 1894. The November receipts at
New Orleans were IL, 500 boxes, against
none received at that port for Noycm-
Der, 1894. Last year, between Deem
Der and Christmas time, $4,000 boxes
were landed here and Immediately sold.
BEFORE Christmas probably not more
than $4,000 boxes are due here, for tho
reason that two vessels containing al
together from $4,000 to 10000 boxes
have been wrecked off Gibraltar.
The crops are very plentiful along
the Mediterranean. but because so
many oranges are being carried from
that region these months owing to tho
deficiency in the Florida crop there is
ittle>roomaf orxlemonso on board these
ships. The California lemon crop also
is larger than ever before, and sup
plies will be forwarded from there. The
California lemons ore exec edingly good
ones, and only experts IAN tell them
from the Mediterranean crop.
For culinary purposes the lemonA
from Sicily-that is, those from Mes
sina and Palermo-are t. be preferred,
as they have a much better flavor.
Other excellent lemons come from Mai
orr and Rodi, in the hill regions sur
rounding Naples. Catan:a and Malaga
lemons are yet another variety, and
come in the early fall, Just after the
southern Italy and Sicilian crops have
been finisheds up.
A box of lemons averages about 300
each. From 1,5O0, 900 to :.O0O, 900 boxes
are sold in year mere. 1t is predicted
that the California crop in three years
will average 100000 boxes. IT will
be interesting to note whether. they
will drive out any or all of the foreign
lemons. Prices are now little lower
than usual. In September seven dol
lars was obtained at wholesale per box,
the highest price in years.-N. Y.

ADAPTAe,L,TY OF ANIMALS.

How They vary Their Food to Suit tho
Changed Conditions.
An impression prevails that insects
and other creatures are so CO.
related with their food that they can
scarcely exist unless the special food
seemingly essential to them is ready to
hand. This is believed true not only
of food, but of their habits in gen.
eral. The yucca and the yucca moth
are so closely connected that it does
seem as if each is absolutely dependent
on the other-and one might well ask
what would the, chimney. swallow do
without chimneys in which to build its
nests-or cherry or peach.tree gum
with which to build them.
But just as the vegetarian would have
to abandon his principles where there
was nothing in the icy region but musk
oxen and walrls to feed on-so animal
nature generally has the instinct of
preservation, that which first comes
to hand when favorite resources fail.
The chimney swallow built its nest
somewhere before the white man con-
structed chimneys. The potato beetle
had it's home on the plains long before
it ever knew a potato, and the writer
has seen the common elm-leaf beetle,
feeding voraciausly in the mountaina
of North Carolina on species of skull
notwithstanding apparently
no other plant, in localities where elms
were absent. In Germantown gardens
half-starved bees take to grapes and
raspberries. In the same locality the
common robin has had hard times.
There had been no rain from the Fourth
of July to this date October ny. and
everything having become parched
long since, insects that live Oh green
food have not increased. The robins
have taken to green seeds and fruits.
The apples on the orchard trees are
dug out as if by mice. An American
golden pippin, with a heavy crop, pre-;
sents indeed remarkable appearance
with what should be apples hanging on
the trees like empty walnut shells. In
brief, no creature will ignore the
promptings of nature. It will change
its habits when necessity Demands

An Old Colonial fslock-House.

Among the attractions of the town OF
Bourne, Mass. are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side. and the
structures built over them were filed
with goods as necessary for the com.
fort of he.carly pilgrims asswelli AS the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manu-
featured goods. such as the Hollanders
had for sale, and the Dutch required
products such rs the colony could sup
ply. Gov. Bradford. in his diary. states
that this block house was built as early
rs 1927. only seven years after the land.
