The orange is the longest-lived fruit
tree. It begins to bear the third year
after budding and for hundred years
It will yield abundant crops. Orange
trees have been known to attain TO the
ripe age of 300. The orange requires
less care and attention than any other
h-uit tree. Its early growth is rapid.
In the hrst two years 1t grows more

MARRIAGE ElIaht Of Ants.

People living along the River Stour.
at Sandwich, England, were the other
day treated to wonderful sight. Sud
denly the stream, the shores and the
streets Of the town became covered
with flying ants that seemed to be
dropping like hail from the clouds.
The phenomenon was marriage
flight OF ants, such as always takes
place in the summer. The ants thus
swarming were young queens and
winged males In these marriage
flights countless millions OF ants take
part, yet the noise of their tiny vibrat-
ing wings is scarcely as loud as the
hum of bee So frail are their dense
columns that little puff Of wind will
dispense them out of sight.
Comparatively few Of the myriads
which come forth from their nests
into the air live to enter nest again.
Practically all the males die, lonely
and shelterless. The surviving queens
found new communities, or, entering
old nests, are at once taken care of by
the workers. and start new colonies
In their old nursery.

a recent fashionable function, where
several dresses were worn ornament

each frill being edged with tiny gauze
ribbon. The bodice was made in fichu

the skirt, and with elbow sleeves also
finished with frills. Lace revers, chem
isette, and high collar, and deep belt
of rose-tinted China ribbon gave the
finishing touches.-Brooklyn Eagle.

are Saved.

Hong Kong. China.-The British
steamer Hankow from Canton was
burned Sunday morning while lying
alongside her wharf. Hundreds Of
Chinese passengers were burned to
death and a valuable cargo was de-
stroyed. All the European passengers
and crew were saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 1000
Chinese passengers, men, women and
children, and seven Europeans, and a
cargo including 900 bales of mating,
$50 bales of raw silk and 400 bales
waste silk, arrived from Canton at
three o'clock Sunday morning and was
shortly afterward moored at the
wharf
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain then directed the chief for
eigner to turn on the water through
the fire hose. This was impossible
for the reason that within five min
utes after the alarm was given the
Hankow was ablaze the fore and aft
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed
down the gang way, the ladies in their
night clothes. The crew was com
peeled to leave the ship, which by
this time was a veritable furnace.
The Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into a frightful panic. Hor
rifying shrieks and cries to save their
lives were heard but escape was I'M
possible, owing to the infammable ma
| ture of the cargo.
Hundreds were burned to death and
many others jumped into the harbor
and were drowned
