BATH OF THE ORANGE.
The Fruit Needs Much Grooming Be

The Fruit Needs Much Grooming Be-
fore 1t Is Ready For Market.
Fresh from the tree an orange is still
very much alive, with the oil cells ex-
banded and the mystery of growth not
yet suspended. Cut off from the sap
supply, a change takes place. The skin
draws closer to the pulp and gives off
moisture that would cause sweating if
the fruit were packed at once. But
first these dust stained travellers must
have bath.
By the bushel, il only this were the
land of the good old bushel basket, the
newcomers are dumped into a long.
narrow tank of water at one end of
which is a big wheel with a tire of soft
bristles. The wheel revolves so that
the lower edge works in connection
with another set of brushes in small
er tank below, and the oranges, after
bobbing about in the big tank, pass be-
tween the wet brushes and come out
bright and clean.
This washer is a neat machine and
does away with the more primitive yet
picturesque method of hand washing.
At some of the smaller packing
houses may still be seen groups of wo-
men, sometimes white, sometimes
brown skinned, each with a tub of wa
ter and brush, scrubbing busily away
at the yellow piles that never seem to
grow less till the last hour of the day
After their bath the oranges are
spread out in the sun to dry on long,
slanting racks. At the lower end they
roll off into boxes, to be carried away
to the warehouse for their rest.
An orange needs a deal of grooming,
1t would seem, before it is ready for
market. The washing was not enough.
There must be a brushing too. And
after the days of curing the oranges
are fed into hopper which drops them
single file on to a belt that runs be-
tween revolving cylindrical brushes,
this for a smooth, shiny look.-Los An
geles Herald.

He Was Unjustly Punished, but He

After his graduation from Harvard
college Phillips Brooks became a
teacher in the Boston Latin school.
And here, on the very threshold of his
career, he met with failure. So much
had been expected of him that his
want of success was naturally q SUBJ

after he had become a great preacher
his early failure was still referred to
and sometimes was used to point a
moral.

Phillips Brooks was then not yet 20
years old, little more than boy. Nat
urally, perhaps, he made mistakes. On
one occasion, says his biographer, he
punished a boy who had committed
no fault.
After Mr.. Brooks had become bishop
of Massachusetts,, as he was moving
in his majestic dignity across Boston
Common, he met this boy, then a ma

The United States grants $4,000 pat
ents per annum, or nearly as many as
all the rest of the world. England
grants 5000 per annum and France
and Germany each about 1000, and
such countries as Canada, Australia,
Austria, Italy and Russia grant about
1000 each. An interesting and hopeful
fact is that more patents are granted
in proportion TO the applications than
ever before in the history of the patent
office, showing that mechanical genius
is not chasing as many rainbows as
formerly. American inventive genius
Is shown in all lines of invention, but
it greatly predominates in machinery

A Saving Quality.

Gilbert White, the naturalist, was
once university proctor, and of his
performance of the office this anecdote
is told: ''On his rounds one evening
White discovered an undergraduate Iy-
ing on the ground, sleeping the sleep of
intOxication, with his outer garments
removed and neatly folded up at his
side. The proctor awoke him and sent
him to his college with an order to
appear the next day for judgment.
The culprit turned up in highly con-
trite frame Of mind. White said to
him: You deserve an exemplary pun
ishment, but observed one circum-
stance which shows you are not wholly
degraded. Your clothes were folded
up by your side, indicating habits of
care and neatness which appear in
compatible with habitual degradation.

A Curious Chinese Custom.

According to the rule sanctioned by
centuries of Chinese observance, no
document can have the authority Of the
imperial throne of China unless 1t bears
a red spot placed there by the sover-
eign. To the grand council the tsung-
li-yamen and all other departments of
state take their business, and the grand
council in its turn considers all docu-
ments and attaches to each a piece Of
red paper on which it's own decision is
written. Each morning at daybreak
the grand council proceeds to the pal
ace to submit the papers to the sover-
eign, who as each document is pro-
duced signifies approval by making a
small spot with brush on the margin
Of the red paper. With the red spot
upon it the paper is the most sacred
thing in the world to Chinaman; with
out it it may be torn to shreds with Inn
punity.-Leslie's Weekly.

How PiceadilIy Was Named

It's curious how the names of towns
and streets come from something that
has been the fashion of the day. Who
knows where the word "Piccadilly''
originated from, the name of that Won
derful street of which it is written
that ''some make love and some make
poetry in Piccadill?" The street was
built by a tailor named Higgins, whose
fortune was made in a kind of collar
called Piccadel or Pickadill or Picca-
dilley, which was worn by all the beaus
of the day. OF course it is not meant
that the street as it stands today was
built by him, but he erected few
houses to which he gave the name the
street now bears.

Old Time Legislation Against the
Use of Tobacco.

1t is one of the curiosities of old time
legislation that the use of tobacco was
in early colonial days regarded by the
magistrates and elders as far more in
furious, degrading and sinful than that
of Intoxicating liquors. Both the use
and the planting of the weed were for
hidden, the cultivation of it being per-
mitted only in small quantities, for
meere necessitie, for phisick, for pres
ervation of the health, and that the
same be taken privately by anncient
men," But the Creature called tobac-
ko' seemed to have an indestructible
life. Mrs. Alice NJ. Earle writes of
these early restrictions about tobacco
in "Stagecoach and Tavern Days"
Landlords were ordered not to "suf-
fer any tobacco to be taken into their
houses" on penalty of a fine to the
"victualler" and another to ''the party
that takes it, The laws were con-
stantly altered and enforced, and still
tobacco was grown and was smoked.
No one could take it ''publicquely' nor
in his own house or anywhere else be-
tOle SlIdHSerS. Two luen were IOrDlu-
den to smoke together.
No one could smoke within two miles
of the meeting house on the Sabbath
day. There were wicked backsliders
who were caught smoking around the
corner of the meeting house and others
on the street, and they were fined and
set in the stocks and in cages.
Until within few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited,
and innocent cigar loving travellers
were astounded at being requested to
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote in 1856 that he
knew men, then living, who had had to
plead guilty or not guilty in Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
of Boston.
In Connecticut in early days a great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
a man could smoke once during a jour-
ney of ten miles.

Celebrated Musicians Adventure In
a Swiss Country Village.
The late Sir John Stainer, one Of
England's most celebrated musicians
and composers. was several years ago
in small Swiss village, and the Eng
fish clergyman was on the lookout for
musician to assist at the service.
Stainer was in the smoking room of
the hotel when the clergyman found
him and started the conversation with
do you play the harmonium? 2" "a lit
tie" was the reply of the ex-organist
Of st. Paul's cathedral. "Will you,
then, be good enough to help us out of
our difficulty on Sunday? We will
read the psalms, and the hymns shall
be the simplest I can select" added
the delighted parson. 81 will do my
BEST" said Stainer, with a smile.
The service passed off all right, but
the congregation, instead of rushing
away at the close, listened to a brilliant
recital. When the parson heard the
name of his assistant, he asked him to
dinner. "Do you smoker" he said at
the close. II will do my BEST" NUT
tered Stainer, and the ensuing laugh
ter was the prologue of an entertaining
exchange of Oxford "reminiscences.
Stainer was a great story teller. One
anecdote he was fond OF relating had
reference to the days when there were
amateur orchestras in churches. The
Messiah" was being sung, and as the
line who is the King of Gloryp ap-
preached the man playing double bass
whispered to the violoncellist in front
of him. LET us have your rosin, and
