F!RoT TO GROW ORANGES.

The orange of Louisiana is an excep-
tionaliy fine variety of that fruit. and

formerly comprised that part of the city

ordn r. tree begins to bear at about the
seventh year, although it is not reck
oned to have reached its full growth
until its twelfth or fifteenth year.
The orange culture in Louisiana is
probably the most profitable industry of
the state under favorable conditions, a
flll grown tree producing from 0, 900

The sweetness. delicacy and juiciness
of the Louisiana orange, the best of

English Penny Novels.

Penny novelettes differ from one an
other in eNternals rather than in in
ternals. The get upof the better sort is
neat and attractive. The type is clear.
and the covers might even be called
artistic in the catholic sense of the
term. The inferior kinds are indiffer-
entity printed ION gray paper with blunt
type, and there are many degrees of
excellence between the two extremes
All except one have illustrations rang
ing from the rudest of woodcuts TO the
smudgiest of process plates. of
course the artist selects the most sensa-
tional incidents for his pencil to adorn
The stabhing of the heroine's father by
the villain disguised as the hero. the
kidnapping of the heroine by Black
Tom and his gang of gypsies at the in
stigation of her jealous rival, the horse
whipping of the villain by the hero in
'faultless evening dress-these and
their like naturally present themselves
as thoroughly suitable and congenial
subjects. s.-Blackwood' Magazine.

blue and silver, swooped with indescrib-
able strength and rapidity upon its
quarry, catching it, mirabile dictu, in
midair. In a fraction of second the
deed was done. The ocean, recording
the splash of the leviathan, rippled ap-
plause, and our questions pattered like
