source Of Riverside widespread reputation
as an orange city.
The navel orange is merely an effort of
nature to produce twin oranges, but one of
the twins aborted, merely surviving as a
protuberanee in the blossom end of the
orange, little kernel enveloped in the
skin which closely resembles the human
navel in appearance. The tree itself is
mi-dwarf and has few small thorns.
When some Of these oranges were exhibited
in the spring of 1879 their beautiful color,
peculiar form, and excellent quality attract
ed immediate attention and stimulated their
production. The poor returns from seed
lirg oranges, the original orange raised from
the seed, during the past season have still
further stimulated navel production, so that
many Riverside seeding groves have been
cut back and grated or budded with navel
stock. The navel orange is smooth, of
golden bronze tint fine texture, and satin
skin, while its flavor is delicious, and it
has the additional advantage of having few
or no seeds When the new orange gave
Riverside the palm over Florida at the
Exposition at New Orleans in 1885, the
future of the navel orange was secure,
though its fame is not even yet at its zenith.
The first Riverside grove budded from Mrs.
Tibbets' Washington trees was B. B.
Barney's Sunnyside ranch, the fruit from
whose nineteen acres, not all nayels, how
ever sold for nearly $40, 900 on the trees
this year
The navel orange has come to stay, and
is now so widely grown that it will soon
comprise the greater part of California S
shipment, taking the place of the Seeding,
which, though grown on larger tree, is
much smaller in size than the navel, though
the seeding trees make up in number of
oranges for what they lack in size The
navel is the earliest orange to ripen, the
earliest specimens supplying the Christmas
market, though it is not at its prime for
toothsome eating before March.
The varieties Of oranges are increasingly
numerous, but the highest price in not Sc
cured by the navel The blood, sport or
freak from the Mediterranean countries,
has that distinction. The reddish color of
the pulp gives its name, and the fact that
it is not extensively raised accounts for its
high price The ST. Michael, favorite
orange, was derived from the Azores, but
the Mediterranean sweet is fanciful name
given very desirable orange that ripens
later, has delicate flavor, and is nearly
seedless. 1t originated from nameless
trees secured from Rochester. n. Y,
nursery in 1870 by Thomas A. Geary.
Among promising new varieties of the
orange is the Tardiff, Mediterranean
variety that promises much, since it can be
put upon the market when other kinds of
oranges are gone, being marketable from
May to Christmas, when the orange season
begins its new year.

with many an inward groan and grunt
He gets him out of bed,
And starts upon a grand stili-hnnt
For clothes so lately shed.
The shoes he set beside his chair
Have surely changed their place;
His trousers-not his Sunday pair
Have gone, and left no trace.
His collar button. new or old,
Cannot be found at all;
His razor's dull, the waters cold,
And life is filed with gall
His patience will no further go,
And everything is "blanked,
The 'kids'' set up howl Of woe,
And then the kids get spanked.
A mufEied voice, in gentle tone,
Explains the situation =:
Her woman s-hand. and hers alone
Has caused his condemnation.
But, finally, he gets him dressed,
He gropes his way down stairs,
And goes, with feelings sore depressed.
Tolls prayers.

I'M TIE COTTON BELT.

(Frances A. Dougherty in Lippincott's)
The stranger who saw the Atlanta
exposition, small and unimposing al
though it was compared to the Column
bian mammoth at Chicago, came away
full of hope for the cotton states in their
unfathomed resources of field and for
est, mine and factory
A few. days later the same visitor may
have felt a sense of discoura cement in
travelling through the rural districts be-
cause of a mopOtOnOuS contrast con-
stantly showing itself there between the
vastness of geographic areas and the
restriction of sociological conditions.
The every day face of Dixie" still
shows the care and uncertainty result
ant upon the social upheaVal of the civ
ii war; vague sadness seems to brood
over the silence of untrOdden woods and
fiowery glades, a thick pail of Spanish
moss trailing pensively over the gigan-
tic live oaks and the sineWy cypress
trees.
Most of the ancestral homes have
been abandoned by their owners for
residence in the cities, the white col
umned porticos of the faVorite colonial
architecture now Wondering in decay,
the wide and once hospitable front halls
resounding only to the rough banter
and Quarrels of negro tenants and their
children.
To fine and sympathetic ear the as
trail shell of a former state seems to be
giving forth plants for the loved and
lost, echoes of the old ante-bellum days
in the southland.

(From the Atchison Globe.)
We old people believe that man is
in his prime at 20.
Industry has no friends, but some
how it always succeeds.
A girl is getting old as soon as she
puts her hair up in a knot.
There is a certain kind of man who
aggravates every woman he knows and
makes her in-tempered.
The most quarrelsome man in Atchi-
son spends a good deal of his time in
telling how easy it is to get along with
him.
There is still a chance left for some
one to distinguish himself; he may be
the first person tried in the new court
house.
This world will not be just right I'M
til every woman is presented with
policeman's club and a star as soon as
she becomes the mother of a boy.
When we remember that the Lord
loves every one, we can no longer re-
strain the feeling of conceit that we
are more particular than the Lord.
Life is short, but a woman in town
has found time to collect enough four
leaf clovers to make into a tea, which
she will use as a lotion for her COM
pleXiOn.
f.
We are glad we are not a pretty man:
a pretty man is unhappy except when
a woman is admiring him. We like to
go to bed at o'clock where man has
no use for good looks.
=
An old timer at love making says that
the present spirit shown by the girls
makes counting no work at all for the
men. He recalls the time a few
years ago when a man had to carry an
umbrella over a girl, bring her ice wa
ter, and chairs and cushions, and give
up the rocker. He says that this is no
longer the case. Men are regarded as
such prizes that the girls ar willing to
do all of this, to have a man around.
He called on a girl last evening, sat in
the rocker, was famed, and taken
down town and treated to ice cream,
the girl cheerfully paying the bill. At
one place where he called last week the
perspiration was wiped off his brow,
and he was fed chopped ice all even
ing. He says that all the work a man
has to do these days is in sprinting
when he finds the net is getting tied
around him.

NOVEL SKY-SCRAPING KITE
Chicago Man Sends Up a Mechanical
Soarer Which Men Take for
an Airship

Chicago, July ia new kind of kite
was flown in the air at a height of 1000
feet from the roof of the stock exchange
building all day yesterday. Its inventor,
Silas Coyne, s61 North Whipple street
says it combines all the perfect points of
other kites.
Being different in shape from most 9TH
er kites, many people of the streets who
saw it hailed it as an airship. 1t con-
sists of two triangles, connected by a
light framework, and having wings on
each side after the Malay pattern. 1t is
a combination, in fact, of the Hargrave
and Malay kites. 1t weighs seven and
one-half pounds and has nine square feet
of surface 1t leaves the hand at an an
send it out and make it return to him
without it's once touching the ground, pro-
vided the wind is favorable as it was
yesterday. He says he has tested its
carrying powers, and that it will bear a
load of four pounds in the air.
Coyne says he has kite four times the
size of the one which he few yesterday,
and that he will experiment with that
next week from downtown point to see
whether it will carry a weight of twenty
pounds. 1t is sixty inches high and meas
ures fifty-four inches from tip to tip of
the wings.

ECONOMY IN COUNTY AFFAIRS

1t is perhaps with no small degree of
satisfaction that the people of Shawnee
county learn from the report of the
county auditor that the business of the
county has been carried on during the
fiscal year just closed for $50 900 less
than the amount which was required
during the previous year. Thirty thous-
and dollars distributed in the form of
a per capita tax would scarcely be felt
in the county, amounting to only about
so cents to each inhabitant In the
aggregate $4,000 is a large sum and
much could be done with it in the line
of public improvements were any such
deemed necessary.
Notwithstanding the economy in the
management of the countys affairs
which this saving indicates, there, per-
haps cannot be found anyone willing to
maintain that the public business has
not been cared for fully as we'll as when
the expenses were $50. 600 greater
The fact that $4,000 of this amount
has been saved in the department of
the district court and the additional
fact that the auditors report shows a,
considerable increase in the expenses Of
the justices courts leads to the conclu-
sion that there is room for still further
pairing down.
This showing affords one of the
strongest reasons why the fees collect
ed in these minor courts should be
turned into the county treasury and
the justices and constables be paid a
salary. The services of a number of
these officers probably could be dis
pensed with and the remaining posi-
lions be made a source of revenue to
need not be so many justices and con-
stables because there would not be so
much business. The amount of bust
ness to be done would be less because
there would be nobody going about
working it up.
The class of cases which is worked up
is the class that is usually paid for by
the county. The legitimate cases in
which the litigants commonly pay their
own costs would probably afford suffi-
cient revenue to pay the salaries and
leave a surplus.
Under such a system there would no
longer be room for the suggestion
that decisions are rendered against
the party to a suit who is most likely
to pay the costs, without regard to the
merits of the case.
The low prices of farm products have
put the taxpayers in a position to APP
preciate economy in the administra-
ton of public affairs and continuation
of last years record will find well mer
tied favor.
There is always much talk of econ
omy. but it is seldom that the public
is treated to so marked an example of
it asris afforded by the county auditors
report.
