TRAINING A WAITRESS.
Do Not Give Her Orders During .
Meal, Nor Correct Her
at Table.

''In selecting waitress choose one
who is tall, slender and light and easy
in her motions, rather than large or
very small woman" writes Mrs. s.
I. Rorer in Ladies' Home Journal.
"Insist upon her wearing a washable
dress, protected by large white
apron with long, broad strings. Show
her how to care for her hands, provid-
ing her with the necessities. Arrange
to have her arrive in the afternoon,
so that during the evening you may
begin instructions. Then give her .
general idea of the way in which you
desire to have your meals served.
Show her where the china, silver,
linen, etc, are kept, and instruct her
in the methods Of caring for them all
Arrange the table for breakfast and
tell her exactly at what hour you
want breakfast served and in what or
der. Follow the same routine each
day, and serve the family in the same
manner as guests, otherwise you may
be mortified when guests are present.
Start right. and give time after each
lesson TO have it repeated. then trust
the waitress. correcting any little er-
ror after the meal. never at the table;
neither should you give her orders at
the table; instruct her before you are
ssated and correct her mistakes after
the meal is over and when you are
with her alone

CaIifornia,s Oranges.

The capital invested in orange grow
ing in the state of California is esti-
mated at $14,OOO,OOO. As the bulk of
the oranges comes from seven of the
southernmost counties of the state
los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernar~
dino, Orange, San Diego, Santa Bar
bara and Ventura-some idea may be
gained Of the vast utility of this work
in the United States to Uncle Sam.
The number of nonfruit-bearine
orange trees in this district is said to
be about 1,227,OO0, and those now
yielding fruit 2,O72,40O. When all
these trees are yielding the luscious
California oranges, Californians, it is
estimated, will reap a harvest Of gold
from this source alone of $4,000 900

BASKET BALL.
Story of a Recent Seminary
Game WeIITOld in Verse.


A very interesting game of
basket ball was played on the
campus Of the Female Seminary,
December s, 1900, between the
juniors and seniors.
The game was called at Sp. M.
All the juniors played very good
game, especially Miss Lucy starr
who won the admiration OF the
audience by her sure playing, She
Ian ded the-ball safely in the basket
twice making four points.
The time keeper, Mr.. Coppock,
shortly after called time and the
game ended with score of four TO-
nothing in favor Of the juniors.
The lineup was as follows:
JUNIORS.
Lala Ward, Captain;
Bula Edmondson,
Lizzie Ross,
Susie Sewer, center;
Lucy Starr,
Sarah Ballard,
Byrde Faulkner.
SENIORS.
Rosanna Harnage, Cap.
Juliette Smith,
Josie Howard,
Mary Garrett,
Minnie Benge,
Sallie Paris,
Myrtle French.
Referee: Mrs. Shelton, Of Fe-
male Seminary.
Umpire: Prof. Harnage of Male
Seminary.
Scorers: Miss Thornton Of SEN
ior class and Miss Tyler Of junior
class.
Timekeeper:: Mr.. Coppock, U.
S. Supervisor.
The story Of the game has been
splendidly told In verse and sent
to this Office with no name attached
the author should be
proud OF his or her effort. 1t is
"The Juniors the class for basket ball,
We've beat the Seniors and that's not
all;
We've beat the Seniors two out Of
three;
by theyells Of the Seminary.
We won the first game two to naught,
For in that game much art was
wrought.
We won the next which made them
blue
BY a small score Of three to two;
The third game was the best OF all
And showed the roughness Of basket
ball.
Each of us all got knocks and blows
And at each scfimmage the cheering
rose.
The captain on the Junior team
Fell down once or twice. 1t certainly
did seem as il she couldn keep
on her feet 4
Perhaps that's the reason that our
side beat.
)h, the Senior side we're not very gay;
Cor again they had to give up the day.
It half past four they all went home
Ind each Of us went to our own little
room,
Ind / guess the Juniors, one aud FL
Dreamed that night Of basket ball" {

A MAN OF COURAGE.
There Are Not Many Who Would Dis
play Such Morality as
Did He.

"a man Of real courage; that is,
courage as courage goes in politics"
said man OF experience in political
matters, according to the Washington
Star, "is Solomon Hirsch, of Portland,
Ore, and minister to Turkey under
President Harrison. He is a million,
aire. thereby being eligible to the
United States senate, and wac Eena-
torial candidate before the Oregon leg
slature in 1885. Matters were badly
mixed. as they are likely to be at
times, and there was deadlock for 90
days. Hirsch was a member OF the
state senate and president of the body.
and the vote was tie between him
self and his opponent during the whole
time, And here is where the cour age.
or heroism, of the man came in. He
had cast his vote for the other man
and would not change it. His friends
urged him with every argument in
their power to vote for himself, break
the deadlock and get the senatorship.
but he did not believe il was the right
thing 10 do, and Notwithstanding the
great prize and the perfectly lcgiti-
mate manner by which he might have
secured it he let a principle lead him
in another direction, and in a compro-
mise threw his forces to John II.
Mitchell, who was elected. / don't
Gnow Of an instance where greater
moral courage in politics was ever
shown than that, and think ii was
more of credit to Mr.. Hirsch than
TO have been a United States senator"

TRUSTED BY WHITE MEN
4 Negroes Long Record of Fidelity ~
Collector for q Memphis
Bank.

The northerner who il forever harp
ing upon the manner in which the ne
gro Is kept down in the south might
open his eyes in wonder at the many
cases in which the negroes have been
faithful in their services for many years
to their employers, says the Memphis
Scimitar, and, as reward, hold posi-
tions of trust and are esteemed as hon
est as any man by the white people who
know them. They are not put on
social equality with white people, but
their station. in hte, is far above that
which the northerner sets as the rank
of the negro in the south.
A fair illustration of this Is to be
had in the case Of Prince 4. Danuel,
who for &c years has heen in the em-
ploy OF the First national bank Of Mem
phis. Danuel secured n position with
the bank in 1871 as porter, and, after
proving his efficiency and integrity,
was given the work OF collecting TO do.
Never in all the time of his service has
he failed to account for every cent OF
money intrusted to him. His collec-
tions are always made accurately; in
fact, he has yet TO make his first mis-
take in a money transaction.
In executing his duties at the bank
vast sums OF money are handled by him,
and the money is as safe In his hands
as is the meat in the care of butchers
dog.
So we'll is Danuel thought OF by his
employers that not long ago the bank
gave him trip to the north, his rail
read fare and all travelling expenses to
Chicago, Washington and other large
cities being betrayed by the bank. The
president OF the bank gave him a let
ter OF introduction TO all of the banks
in the cities he went to. This letter
made him welcome visitor wherever
he went. He was looked upon as Kind
Of wonder, the idea of negro holding
a position of trust in the south being
before that considered out Of the ques
ton.
