 Florida oranges haye practically been out #oi=,Hc market s:He" the big freeze in the fail of ls21. They will find things somewhat changed when they get back. X few years ago the superiority of the Florida orange, particularly the Indian river proG- uct. was unqueStioned. The Cahfor- nia orange Wds coarse grained, less juicy than the Floridas, deficient in flavor and full of a stringy pulp that was both disagreeahle to the eater and hard upon the digestion.
 But q 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 brmming with juice and the tough fiber in the best grade of oranges has almost entirely disap- peared.
 It is not generally known that this horticultural device fer doing away with the seeds in the ripened fruit vas introduced in this country by an obseryant American woman who called the attention of the depart ment of agriculture to it. This Wom- an, while travelling in the province of Bahia. Hrazl. in f~eS, observed that the oranges of tE@f province were much superior 10 sie..r raised in the United States and sefdiess a. well.

MODERN CHINA MONOGRAMS.
Distinctiye Mark Is the Present Style in Marking the Sets of
 Household.

Much of the handsome china used nowadays is marked with the mono gram or crest of the owner It is a distinctive mark that ditferentiates the china from all other ware. and the lettering is an ornament in it. self. It is usually the more simple china that is ornamented in this way, and an attempt is made always to put the lettering upon the side or wing of plate, as the professional will say to prevent wear. Old-time china was frequently marked in the center of the plate. and the marking was worn away by the knife and fork, says the New York Tribune.
 In some instances entire sets of china for different courses are marked, and always each piece of dish-the cover, the dish itself, and. II q soup tureen, the piece upon which it rests. The letters for the marking are always the initials of the mistress of the house and are put on in script in preference to the block letters. The lettering is usual ly sn gold, but occasionally one let ter will be put in in color and the others in gold.
 The gold may be flat or raised. and upon this will depend largely the cost of the lettering. The flat gold will cost six dollars dozen and up ward and the raised gold from $15 to SIS q dozen and upward.

Insects in China Z'hnt Produce q VG1- ua!sie Commodity in a Curi-

The white waN erap exported from China is made by the curious method of using minute insects in it's produc- tion. These insects are found in brown, pea-shaped eXcrescences or gals attached to an evergreen tree called the ''insect tree. The gals are gathered i' Wy and carried in head- long figh o= he market towns by bearers, was :ravel at night. so that the heat may :.s.s .erce the insects to emerge during the ,oarney. says Lon- don exchange.
 They are then isaced in "waN 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 20 or 90 gals. which are in closed in a leaf of the wood oil tree fastened together with rice straw These packets are suspended close tc the branches under which they hang On emerging from the gals the insects creep rapidly up the branches, tc 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 $ much of the wax as possible by hand they are put in ket. tie of hot water. when the remaining wax floats on the surface, and the in. sects finish their usefulness by going fn the hnt n1r,

 Toward Missions

A Boston lawyer, who has for forty years been eminent in his profession and 10 less eminent in Christian work and in princely gifts to the cause ot DeneVolcnce, tells this story of what fixed his course of life: When he was a young man he once attended mig, sioaaly meeting n Boston. One of the speahe.s al tiie1t meeting, plain mar. said he had a girl in his domestic ser, vice at q wage of leGg than t,Eo dollars a week, who gave a dollar every month to missions; she also had a class of poor boys in Sunday school who neves missed her from her place. And he said Jf her, "She is the happiest, kindest, tidieEe girl l ever had in my kitchen" The young man went home with these three broken sentences sticking in his mind: Glass in Sunday school-dol- lar month to missions-happiest girl.' The first result was that he took @ class in Sunday school; the secoad was a resolve that if this girl could give a dollar a month to missions. he could, and would. These were the inn mediate effects of one plain girls con- secrated life But who can count, who car imagine the sum total? That law yer was, for almost half century from this time, an increasingly active force in every good work within his reach.-Boston Journal.
