ORANGE INDUSTRY
SIuch Labor Involved in Producing thai
Succuleut Fruit.

nAuCh NaDoh 50 49,
succulent Fruit.
Did YOU ever stop to think while
eating an orange how much labor was
involved in producing that succulenl
fruit? Thousands Of boys, men and
women are employed at from 80 cents
to 50 a day in gathering the produce
of an orange orchard. In the height
of the season, which is from Dec. 10
May /, every body who wants it may
find employment.
1t is not generally known that or
ange growing is one of the most pro-
fitable industries of the Pacific slope
and many vast fortunes have been
made in this line.
1t is claimed that more oranges are
grown at Riverside, Cal, than IN any
other city of equal area on the lace OF
the earth. Out of fifty-six square
miles, which is the area of Riverside
thirty square miles have been convert
ed into orange groves. This means
that the seasons product Will aggre-
gate about 5000 carloads, or 3,2OOOOU
boxes Of oranges. This represents q
money value of $6,000,00O.
Orange trees grow low and tho fruit
is easily gathered. When the trees are
tall ladders are used.
The picker ties around his waist a
bag, fashioned like an apron, into
which he drops the oranges, cutting
them from the trees with shears. They
are then sent to the packing-houses.
If there has been much wind during
the season there Is a heavy collection
of dust on the fruit, which has to be
removed. Some OF it can be removed
by dry brush.
The oranges are put into a lone
trough, through which runs bent
containing number of brushes. II
the fruit is not too heavily coated this
process will remove the dust.
The oranges are then put into an
other kind of trough half filled with
water. AS they float around on the
surface a man with a broom swishes
them around in lively manner. They
are then taken up and dumped into
another trough, where there is a
second brush belt This takes off the
surplus water and polishes the skin
of the fruit.
After this new brushing they are
lifted and rolled out on rack. The
rack is made of Stats, about an inch
apart, to admit free current of air
1t is then set on edge in the sun, where
the fruit is quickly dried. They are
then sent to the grading machine.
Great care is taken in grading Or
anges. The poorest quality is never
shipped. but is sold on the coast. Each
orange is wrapped in tissue paper by
women skilled in their work. The
fruit is then put in boxes according
to their size.

JAPANESE Bells,

Bells were in use in China, Japan
and India long before they were
known in Europe. In the space
fronting the temples of Nikko,
Japan, there are enormous bells of
exquisite purity of sound too heavy
to be suspended in any tower which
this people build, and so they are
swung on low frames of stout tim
Der, the bell being only three or four
feet from the ground.
They are rung by means of bat
tering rams, made of long joists Of
hardwood, suspended so as to swing
by the united aid of many human
hands. They give out soft and
muffled though deep and farreach-
ing notes.

A WOMkN'S LOVE.

A sentinel angel sitting high in glory

For God is Just. and death for sin is we'll

Nor Tor myself do ask that grace shall be,
But ior my love on earth who mourns for me-
"Great Spirit, let me see nv love aeain
And comfort him one hour, and were fain

Then said the plying angel NAY! Repent
That wild vow! Look! The dial fingers bent
Down to the last hour Of thy punishment
But still she walled: 81 pray thee, let me COL

Oh, let me soothe him in his bitter woeI"
The brazen gates ground suddenly ajar,
And upward, joyous, like a rising star,
She rose and vanished in the ether far
But soon adown the dying sunset sailing,
And like wounded bird her pinions trailing,
She futtered back, with broken hearted wailing
She sobbed: 81 found him by the summer sea
Reclined, his head upon maidens knee.
She curled his hair and kissed him. Woe is me!'
She wept; "Now let my punishment begin!

CIGAR Ashes Good For Heartburn

A gentleman who is a very heavy
smoker did a peculiar thing in my
presence the other day. He knock
ed off portion of the white ash at
the end of his weed into his hand
and without more ado swallowed it.
l naturally asked the reason for this
remarkable performance and, to my
surprise, learned that it is a sure
cure for the heartburn which some
times overtakes the devotees of to-
bacco. Not being afflicted in that
way [ did not care to try the rem
edy, but FASTENED to communicate it
to my fellow smokers. Ny inform
ant was at one time engaged in the
cigar importing business and was
accustomed to test cigars by the
score. He informs me that he
learned the curious fact in question
in Cuba, where the remedy is ha-
bitually used by the dons, who
breathe as much tobacco smoke as
they do air.-Exchange.

New Occupation for Women.

A woman who7had lived in Washing
ton for years and but lately removed
to New York found herself obliged to
earn money.
One day a woman who holds a pc
sition in a banking house was bewail-
ing her lot at lunch time.
81 am often so busy" she said,
"when noon comes that l cannot leave
my desk to go to some restaurant, and
| am often obliged to wait for bite
until two or even three o'clock. If
could only have a lunch, say a sand
witch, a piece of cake and a glass of
milk brought in to me | know l
should be in better health.
Il get so faint about half-past twelve
that it often brings on headache.
and by the time l get out | have lost
all desire to eat"
Now, the woman put on her thinking
cap and remembered having heard that
a woman in Washington was going
around among the government clerks
serving a dainty light lunch every day
between twelve and one o'clock to
those who did not care to go out or
who could not leave their desks.
She obtained permission from the
superintendent of one of the largest
buildings down town to canvass among
the women employed in the offices and
find out If this really was want, and
If so If it would pay her to cater to it.
Her canvass resulted in obtaining
almost a hundred customers in that
one building. She furnishes a lunch
consisting of two sandwiches, one of
meat, the other Of lettuce, cheese or
sardines. a couple OF liberal slices of
home made cake anu glass of milk
put In email bottle. which is re-
turned the next day.

ONE GENERAL REMEDY.
II Operates as Effectively For the Fat
as the lean.

The pretty stenographer had
never worked for a physician before,
and hence, when on this first morn
ing office hours began, she settled
back in her chair to listen with as
much interest as though she were at
matinee. The first patient was
a young man whose padded coat
would not conceal the narrowness Of
his shoulders and the weakness Of
his chest. He was a very puny
young man indeed.
Doctor" he said, 81 want to get
fat. | want to resemble a man
rather than lead pencil. l want
to wear a bathing suit without
shame"
The physician answered: "Ri8e
at Z o'clock and exercise an hour
with chest weights and Indian clubs.
Then take a cod bath and break
fast without coffee or tea. During
the day contriye somehow to get a
two hours walk and sleep at least
nine hours a night. Don't smoke.
II you follow these directions, you'll
gain ten pounds in a month"
After the thin young man had
gone a fat young woman entered.
Doctor" she said, "make me
thin. Take off most of this too
solid flesh. Let me wear a straight
front like other girls
The doctor prescribed: ''Rise at
Z o'clock and exercise an hour.
Then take a cold bath and for
breakfast have 10 coffee or sweets.
Get two hours walk during the
day and sleep at least nine hours
every night. You'll lose ten pounds
month if you obey me-"
The patient left, and the stenog-
rapher asked the doctor how it was
he prescribed for leanness and for
fairness the same thing. Because"
he said, Chat thing is exercise and
exercise makes you right. 1t makes
you, if you are too thin, stouter, and
if you are too stout, thinner. 1t is

in."-Philadelphia, Record.

Government Tree Planting.

Special efforts are bel az made at
present by the United Sites Govern
ment to reclaim the Western prairie
lands by planting trees.
Government forestry experts have
found that If properly planted thou
sands of acres of these waste lands are
available for timber and orchard pur-
poses. The Forestry Division of the
Department of Agriculture has devised
cooperative plan for planting trees
which is meeting with very ready re-
spouse from farmers throughout the
prairie districts. Ninety per cent. of
all the applications made to the Gov
eminent for trees come from the tree
less regions Of the prairie States.
Land owners who wish to take adj
vantage Of the Governments co-opera-
tive plan must first formally apply 10
the Agricultural Department at WASH
ington. Application must be made nv
the land owner. On receiving this an
plication an expert tree planter is at
once sent to the site to be improved.
This Government official examines the
soil and other conditions and prepares
an elaborate map showing the pro-
posed Improvement. This map shows
the position of wind breaks. wood lots,
shelter belts and other details, with a
diagram showing the exact position of
each tree. He. also names the trees
best suited for the land to be inn
proved. The farmer must furnish the
seed and trees. The expenses of the
forstry expert in making his trip and
preparing bis map are paid by the gov
eminent.

The Can and Hat Riots,

Those civil disturbances-the cap
and hat riots-were in Sweden from
1888 to 1771. The caps were the
Russians and their sympathizers;
the hats were the French. For a
time the kingdom was reduced al
most to a state of anarchy by the
two contending factions, but order
was restored by Gustavus III. in
1771, who, DESTROYS of excluding all
foreign intervention in the affairs
of Sweden, forbade the use Of the
names and sternly repressed all dis
orders growing out of the political
dissension between the factions.
