Trouble With Florida Oranges.

THE situation in Florida oranges
was never worse" said L. J. p. Bishop
a leading grower and receiver, to a re,
porter for the New York Times. IT
would be impossible to describe the
situation with accuracy. If it were
possible it would scarcely be believed
because it wouldn't seem as though
/ those most interested in an import
ant industry would permit it to gel
into such shape; but it is fact thai
the New York market is so heavily
overloaded that no one is getting the
cost of bringing the fruit here out oil
it, and there is nothing ahead to indi
cate that any one will be able to do sc
in the near future.
"A good deal of difficulty has been
experienced from freezing, but it isn't
in the cars that the dangerous chilling
has occurred. 1t was on the trees dur
ing the cold of November 81. Then,
instead of Immediately picking the
fruit from the trees and shipping it to
market, growers allowed it to remain.
The result is am orange which is abso-
lutely worthless. If taken immediate
ly from the tree and eaten within a
short time freezing does not appear to
injure the fruit much, but If the sun is
allowed to shine on it and start the
sap in the trees before they are
stripped, there is no saving the fruit.
The cold reaks the oil cells in the peel,
which serves as a protector for the
pulp, and the pores are left open. Much
moisture escapes in this way. Then
when the sap starts back it draws all
the Juice out of the orange, and it
never goes back again. Growers must
learn to pick frozen fruit Immediately
or it will be total ioss.-New York
Times.

A Jealous Dogs Revenge.

from Birmingham, England-new, il
you don't happen to have met the same
Cog before. He had been a great pet
in the family, this Birmingham deg. in

came. There was suspicion the dog
was jealous, but, for the most part, he
hid his sorrow in his heart and could
not he detected in any disrespect or
disloyalty 10 the newcomer 1t myster-
iously happened, however, that when
ever the dog was left alone with the
baby that the baby began to cry. Up.
on entering the room, no signs OF
trouble were ever to be seen, and the
dog was always snoczing peacefully
before the fire. But, finally, one day
when the baby cried as susual upon
being left alone with the dog, a peek
through the keyhole disclosed the cruel
canine rubbing his cold nose up and
down the babys neck.

THE LAZY TINE ONCE MORE.

on, the laziness is creeping where
the violets are sleeping,
And the sunshine glstens lightly on
the stream,
Where the timid shadows shiver On
the border of the river
When the south wind wakes the
crocus from its dream.
When the green is softly glinting like
the whisper of a tinting
And there's music in the rhythm OF
the rain,
It's the lazy, hazy season, built fo,
rhyme and not for reason.
And were glad to have it with rs
once again.
All, we need no Maypole dancing nor
the glancing maids enhancing
To make festive such a gentle time
as this,
For tbs fine to watch the cleaning OF
the world with sunlit teeming
And existence is a sweet and price
less bliss:
There is drowsy satisfaction in thi.
personal inaction
While around you nature tolls with
might and main:
There is JOY enough in knowing that
the grass and trees are growing
And the lazy time is with us once
sagain.

GARDENS IN WINTER TIME.
Beauty May be Retained Throughout
the Chilly Season.

I
Home and Flowers-As | sit In my
room l can look out upon an expanse
Of garden, in which | see several things
about which | believe something of
interest to my readers can be said
One is the value of evergreen as a
background. At one side of the gar
den several Norway spruces stand in a
group. In front of these are leaf
less trees, but their gray green
branches show very effectively against
the bronze-green of the spruces, and
the careless observer is surprised
when his attention is called to the
beauty of the leafless limbs. Perhaps
he has never noticed it before. He
has thought of the shrubs as attract
i've uGly in foliage CT flower. But
when a still finer effect can be secured
by planting 5erry,hearing shrubs IN
front of evergreeas. There is the
scarlet fru,ted alder, the rugosa rose
and the wax berry bushes, with
white fruit.
These are particularly fine when
given the contrast afforded by green

all about them intensifies their colors

scarlet clusters, and these are quite
as effective as flowers could be. The
vine is thing of beauty the day after
a saowstorm, as its brilliant berries
seem to burn their way through the
veil of snow that envelops it, A
