Ian Maclaren ON Scott.

and that is the same thing as taking

he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion Of the house Of
lords. a. I do not know single page Of
Scott that is not readable, and lido not
know single page that would shake .
mans faith or bring blush to wom-
ans cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that hs
is not interesting, and others object to

Oranges,

The very sweetest orange and richest
is the black or rusty coated fruit. Pick
out the dingiest oranges in the box, and
you will get the best. Another way to
choose oranges is by weight. The. .heav-
lest are the best, because they have the
thinnest skin and more weight Of juice.
Thick skinned oranges are apt to be dry.
They either weigh less because Of hav-
ing SO much skin or because of the pow.
erty Of the juice in these particular
specimens. A slight freezing on the
tree causes this condition in otherwise
fine fruit. The ''kid glove" oranges are
the two varieties Of small fruit grown
in Florida from stocks respectively
brought from China and from Tangier.
They are called mandarin and tanger-
inc. They may be eaten without soiling
q kid glove, because the skin is loose
and the little ''gores, - or pockets Of
juice, come apart very cleanly and with
out breaking. All the above applies to
Florida oranges. The Jamaica and Ha-
vana oranges are much paler yellow,
and their juice is usually Of more acid
quality than the home grown oranges.

Feeding a Baby Elephant.

In st. Nicholas +. Fitz Roy Dixon
tells of a baby elephant that was cap
tured by friends of his in Ceylon, after
the death Of its mother. Mr.. Dixon says:
When Sidney was first brought over,
virtually in order that she might be
fed, the question naturally arose as to
how she would take her nourishment
OF course tho proper way for an adult
elephant to take in water is by means
Of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running its whole length.
But when bowl Of milk was placed
before the baby elephant she did not
know what to do with it. She dipped
the tip Of her trunk into it, and the
lockers on thought that there would be
no difficulty about her drinking at all,
since she recognized the scent Of the
nourishment she had been accustomed
to. But she was quite at loss and set
up q roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
ono suggested pouring it down her
threat from bottle, and this was &C.
cordingly tried, and after one or two in
efcctual attempts she understood.
She was half starved when this was
done, for she had had nothing to eat
since the death Of her mother, and her
delight at being fed was most amusing.
The only trouble was that it was diff
cult to satisfy her, and it was feared
that the change Of diet would disagree
with her. but fortunately it had no ill
effect.

Sick Fish.

When fish in an aquarium is ailing
or injured. it is put into reserve tank,
out Of sight of the visitors, and where
it can be looked after at any time The
circulation Of the tank lis adjusted with
great nicely to give the fish the greatest
possible amount Of water. and with the
constant renewal Of water the greatest
possible amount Of fresh air. A fresh
water fish may be treated with salt wa
ter baths. The fish is fed on the food
best suited to its condition or most like
ly to suit its fancy.
1t may lie on the bottom of the tank
,notionless for hours. like sick person
in bed. 1t may sometimes seem to be
dead, but closer inspection will show
a feeble movement Of the gill covers,
which marks the ish's respiration. Aft.

WOULDN'T BURN HIS BOOTS.
Though He Didn't Mind the Eneot on
His Stomach.

His stomach.
After he had sold his load of wood
and had received $4.2 25 for it he strolled
over to the little combination billiard
parlor and barroom on the other side of
the square. His faded old eyes lighted
up and his new cowhide boots, larded
generously in grease, squeaked exult-
antly as he thought of that drink he
had been planning to get ever since he
left the farm at daybreak
"Jest one old snifter
or that good old ifter,"
he cooed to himself, ''and TIL be pri,nel
ter start fer home.
"About one finger of that old red eve
will do the bizness, / calculate" he
confided to the bartender, as he pulled
q feverish red mitten from his right
hand and jammed it down in his
"pants" pocket. II amt drinkin
man-never was-but when it's SO cold
outside yer breath freezes ter t'waggin
wheels yes got ter resort ter some pow.
erful remedy ter thaw it out.''
The bartender agreed with him. For
months he had watched the old farmers
come in, order just one finger of whis-
Ky and drink whole handful of fin
gers for the manifestly unfair expendi-
ture of 10 cents. He had decided to put
o stop to it, and the farmer with the
new cowhide boots was the first victim.
The remedy he placed before him was
powerful enough to thaw the Yukon.
The old man poured his glass full-just
as tho bartender knew he woodland
gulped it down in one big swallow.
The effect was instantaneous. The VIC
tim gave one convulsive shudder, look
ed reproachfully at tho bartender and
whirled around four times. Then lie
sat down and hastily began to pull off
his cowhide boots.
"What the mischief are you doing
that for?" inquired the astonished bar
tender. {.
Cant ye see them's brand new
boots?" gasped the victim. "D'ye think
I'm goin ter let them burn up tew2"-

Hounding Celebrities.

DR.. Paul GARNER, a French specialist
In lunacy, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men and wom-
en- who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women Of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known, Of the cases by the public Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in a lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers Or who make good
speeches i'll the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter,
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fro
at them, but for some reason or other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
AS to actresses, DR.. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous. Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her worshipers secrete them:
selves in all sorts Of places in order to
zee her enter or leave her theater or her
residence. The special detectives have
had to interfere on two noted occasions
in order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers Of maniacs
who resolved to injure OF kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their fat
teries and passionate declarations of
love. Go
