CALIFORNIA ORANGES.
Vast Improvement Noted in the Fruit
--Enects of the Freeze in
Florida.

Everybody who eats them has
probably noticed that New York's
supply of California oranges has
never before been so plentiful and
cheap and good as now. You can get
big, sweet, juicy navel oranges as low
as two for a nickel, says the Sun.
Florida oranges have practically
been out of the market since the big
freeze in the fall of 1897. They will
find things somewhat changed when
they get back. A few years ago the
superiority of the Florida orange,
particularly the Indian river prod
uct, was unquestioned. The CalIfor-
MIA orange was coarse-grained, less
Juicy than the Floridas, deficient in
flavor and full of stringy pulp that
was both disagreeable to the eater
and hard upon the digestion.
But wonderful improvement has
been made within comparatively
short time. The California orange to-
day is still coarse-grained and still
lacks some of the delicate flavor OF
the Florida or the Messina fruit, but
it's flavor has been vastly improved.
it is trimming with juice and the
tough fiber in the best grade OF
oranges has almost entirely disap-
peared.
1t is not generally known that this
horticultural device for doing away
with the seeds in the ripened fruit
was introduced in this country by
an observant American woman who
called the attention of the depart
ment of agriculture to it. This wom-
an, while travelling in the province OF
Bahia, Brazil, in 1868, observed that
the oranges of that province were
much superior to those raised in the
United States, and seedless as well

QUEER WAX CROP.
Insects in China That Produce q Val.
liable Commodity in Curl
GUS Manner.

The white wax crop exported from
China is made by the curious method
of using minute insects in it's produc.
ton. These insects are found in
brown, pea-shaped excrescences or
gals attached to an evergreen tree
called the 'tinsect tree" The gals are
gathered in May and carried in head.
long fight to the market towns by
bearers, who travel at night, so that
the heat may not force the insects to
emerge during the journey, saysa Lon
don exchange.
They are then placed in "wax
tree" which is a stump varying from
three to twelve feet in height, with
numerous branches rising from the
top, similar to the pollard willow.
The wax insects are made into small
packets of 90 or 80 gals, which are in
closed in leaf of the wood oil tree,
fastened together with rice straw.
These packets are suspended close to
the branches under which they hang.
On emerging from the gals the insects
creep rapidly up the branches, to
which they attache themselves, and
begin forming a wax that in about
three months attains thickness of al
most quarter of an inch.
The branches are then cut off, and
after removing as much of the wax as
possible by hand they are put in a ket-
tie of hot water, when the remaining
wax floats on the surface, and the in
sects finish their usefulness by going
to the bottom.

welcomed the Circus.

Howard Paul told an amusing story
of his first Italian tour, when a party
of so were piloted about by Thomas
Cook the founder of the famous firm:
1--WE ascertained that he had ar
ranged at Pisa for a number of open
carriages to take us from the railway
station to the leaning tower-about the
only object of interest there was to
see in that archaic place. l telegraph
ed to the mayor of Pisa that Cook S
circus from England would pass
through the town and that l desired
him to announce it by bulletin on the
Marie and any points where the pub
lie would see the notice, that they
might extend to the troupe a hearty
welcome.
mot suspecting a joke, the mayor
did as / suggested and when we ar
rived, entered the coaches and drove
in procession through the town the
streets were thronged with spectators,
who now and then sent up delirious
cheers and shouted 'vivas' in demon
strative fashion. Mr.. Cook q rode in
his carriage) was astounded at the
enthusiasm of the inhabitants and was
puzzled to know how they knew the
English tourists were coming, as he
had only communicated with the sta
ton master regarding the vehicles.
"Of course as the author of the little
comedy, l could not enlighten him, and
when my American friend and | called
on the mayor to thank him for his
courteous attention to my requests he
gently inquired where the horses were,
as the inhabitants would prefer to
have seen us mounted. My Yankee
partner in the sell was equal to the
occasion, and. as he spoke little Ital-
ian, he informed the official that the
horses We're so numerous they would
come on by later train.
THE secret was well kept. and, as
Mr.. Cook and none of the tourists We're
linguists and as we only remained in
Pisa three hours, they all departed in
wonderment as to why their advent
had earned such extraordinary ex-
ement."-Argonaut.
