"Oranges are so abundant and so
cheap nowadays" said the president
of the "Reminiscences club, chat we
do not appreciate our good fortune.
When | was boy in Pennsylvania,
one of my uncles came up from
Florida on a visit, and the present
he brought the family was a Dag of

orange before, and it seemed to me
the most beautiful object my eyes
had ever encountered. 1t was so

my mother had finally to compel me
to eat it | cried so that | hardly
enjoyed it. My father had typhoid
fever very shortly afterward, and
then | saw my first lemons. The
local grocer had to send to Philadel-
phia for them, several hundred
miles, and they cost Is cents
apiece"
"You were lucky indeed to have a
whole orange all to YOURSELF" com
mented a listener. 'When | was a
boy, oranges were scarce and high
priced. Only the confectioners kept
them, and they sometimes cost 10
cents apiece. Half an orange was
all that we children ever expected
to have given to us, and the grown
folks Jared no better. Once some
country cousins, two spinsters, came
to town to do thcir winter shopping.
They stayed at our house a week,
and before they left they bought
half dozen oranges, presenting
each member Of the family with
half an orange. This return for my
fathers hospitality was considered

A Frenchman,s Social Error.

A Erenchman on his return to
Paris after . weeks stay with an
English commercial friend in Lon
don sat down to inscribe a letter to
thank his host for his kind hospital
ity. Possessing but a scant knowl-
edge Of the English language, it en-
tailed some effort on his part to
frame a suitable letter. He man
aged, however, to convey what he
wished to say with considerable sat
isfaction to himself. 1t only needed
the usual finishing sentence, and the
Frenchman was wont to wind up
his social letters with the French
phrase, 'AIay the Lord preserve you
and your family to all eternity"
Failing for the moment to- recall
the English definition Of the French
word meaning preserve" he sought
the aid Of a dictionary. He there
discovered that the word meant
"pickle," so with pride he concluded
his missiye with the parting words :
"May the Lord pickle you and
your family to all eternityp

Uses Of Salt.

Do YOU know that common salt
dampened, will remove the discolo-
ration on cups and saucers which is
the result Of tea and coffee and
careless washing? That it will take
the egg stain from silver? That ii
will restore in great measure colors
faded in washing or keep them from
fading if used in the rinsing water:
That nothing cleans China mating
or willow furniture so we'll as a salt
and water scrubbing with a scrub
bing brush? That it is an excellent
dentifrice? That if the chimney
gets on fire salt put upon the fire
will deaden the flame? And how
many even old cooks know that
when the blaze from dripping fat
on the Goals is charring the steak
they are broiling the trouble can be
stopped by throwing little salt on
the fire?

Sticks In Mercantile LIE.

Many young men choose a mer-
camille position for the present only
without thought or intention of
making it a permanent business.
The result is that oftentimes we
find these men at thirty years re
ceiving no more pay than they did
when only eighteen.
There is an army Of this class Of
young men behind counters today.
They are an aimless, pitiable class.
They stand listlessly in their de-
partments and are as unobseryant
of what's going on around them as
are the inanimate figures which one
sees at the entrance Of clothing es-
Establishments.
Many Of them let slip grand OPP
portunities Of becoming great bust
ness factors in the commercial world
and have doomed themselves to the
treadmill Of common drudgery. SIN
gleness of purpose implies self re-
lance, without which a young bust
ness man is not thoroughly fur
nished for a successful business ca

LENTILS GOOD FOOD.
They Have q Peculiar Taste, Which
improves With Acquaintance.


Notwithstanding the fact that
lentils are recognized by students
Of food economies as among the
most nourishing of vegetables, they
are very little used in America. IL
Germany, however, their value IS
fully appreciated, and seldom a
week passes where "linsen," as they
are thore called, do not come to the
table at ieht once, If not otacncr.
In thcfs dried state they resemble
in form small magniiying lenses,
being thick in the middle and ia
pering toward the rims. They are
very hard and to be properly pre-
pared mast be soaked overnight in
water before cooking. The form IN
which they are most frequently eat
en- is as soup, which has to be cooked
for a long time until the lentils be-
come thoroughly soft, a few bay
leaves, some celery, red pepper or
other fayoring materials being add
ed.
Another way to eat them is in
the form Of a mush. In this case
frankfurters are, as a rule, cooked
with The lentiIs, although some pre-
fer ham, AS a vegetable side dish
with frankfurters lentils are just
as appetizing, especially when pre-
pared with vinegar, as salerkraut
and far more nourishing.
Those who have never eaten len
ills may consider their taste, which
is different from that of any other
vegetable, somewhat peculiar; but,
like that of olives, it grows upon
one. Properly cooked, they will be
found a most welcome addition to
the list of soup vegetables that can
be served TO vary the daily menu

There Was No Hurry.

which we're being repaired.
There was no ladder by which he
could make his escape, and he be-
gan to shout for help.

and, looking down, asked who he
was.

upon the laborer remarked:

FATE OF THE FLIES.
What Becomes of All That Are Pro.
duced Each Season?

An exchange quotes a distin-
guished entomologlst as saying that
single female lily will lay 100 eggs
during her life Of from ten to If
teen days and that of these ninety
or hundred viii produce other
flies. During Il summer twelve or
thirteen generations OF these flies
will be produced, so thai millions il
Cne season may be tie descendants
Of a single fly.
|lIlIllons" is feeble word to ex-
press lie humber tla, would be
produced under this estimate. Put
ting tie lirst generation at 100 and
allowing lHat nal oil them are fe-
males, the second generation would
number 5000, with $500 females.
The third generation would number
100000, the fourth 1,250,000 and
the fifth 90, 100000 Continuing
the calculation on the same system
to the twelfth generation, we should
get q grand total OF 1882, 812, $780,
600, 200, 900, or, expressed III words,
four Quintillions, eight hundred and
eighty-two quadrilIions, eight hun
dred and twelve trilHons, five hun
dred billions, a number quite incon-
eeivable Estimating the popula-
ton Of the earth at a billion and a
half, this would give 3,255,20
1913 Is flies to every man, woman
and child ON earth, all the descend
ants Of one fly in single summer.
1t is true in this calculation we
have taken the higher number of
flies to begin with-100 instead Of
g0-but in return we have left off
the thirteenth generation (aS I'M
lucky, which would have given US a
total fifty times greater, 50 the cal
culation may be taken as a fair one
It must be that the estimate Of
flies or Of generations is too liberal
4 great many Of the eggs must per-
ish, and the number Of flies that are
Matched must be overestimated. We
could not cope with the flies at the
rate Of increase here given.
