How PiccadiIIy 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 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
street now bears.

A TIL hOrOughbred.

Don't be thoroughbred. A thor
oughbred is well enough in cattle and
hogs, but very disgusting among men,
for the reason that among men a thor
oughbred means man who devotes
too much time to having fun, to being
good fellow. Make n speciality of re-
liability, industry, fairness. Make your
specially n worthy one. Instead of
seeing how late you can stay out at
night go to bed at regular hours. Sleep
will do you more good than a good
time. There is no better man than the
good citizen, the good husband, the
good father, the good son. A thorough
bred is never noted in these directions.

BATH OF THE ORANGE.
The Fruit Needs Much Grooming BE
fore II Is Rendy For Mnrket

fore II Is Ready For Market.
Fresh from the tree an orange is still
very much alive, with the oil cells ex-
panded 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 n bath.
BY the bushel, if 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
brstles. The wheel revolves so that
the lower edge works in connection
with another set of brushes in a 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 neat machine and
does away with the more primitive vet
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, scrubbiny 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 smooth. shiny look.-Los An
geles Herald.

SPRINKlING WAGONS,
The Modern Ones n Big Improvement
on the Old style.

The modern Sprinkling wagon is very
different from the old timer. The chief
Improvement is in the spray head,
which enables the driver to control the
flow of water much better than the old
style. Thus, whether it is dirt or
macadam road or Il stone paved or as
phaltcd street, there can be supplied
from the modern street sprinkler just
the amount of water required to lay
the dust in it without waste.
The spray head on each side has its
own valve rod running to the drivers
seat, with a step there for the foot.
The driver can operate both heads at
once, or he can run only one head He
can shut off one or open either one at
pleasure. With this sort of wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crosSwalks with perfectly defined lin
It's, and when he comes to n carriage or
a street car upon which he doesn't
want to throw water he shuts off the
flow on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made in
various sizes, ranging from $50 gallons
to 1000 gallons capacity. There are 20
sprinkling wagons sold in this country
nowadays where there We're was one
sold only few years ago. This great
increase in their use is due in large
measure to sanitary reasons, to the
great extension of good roads and to
the common desire for comfort.
Sprinklng wagons are used nova
days commonly in many smaller towns
and villages where they were never
thought of some years ago. And Amer
lean sprinkling wagons are now found
all over the world wherever sprinkling
wagons are used.
They are exported to Australia, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, South America, South
Africa and Europe. The modern sprin-
king wagon that the traveller chances
to see in Paris or Berlin or Hamburg
came very likely from the same factory
as the one he saw here before he left
home going through his own home
street.-New York Sun.
