Altouether Too ExpensIve.

Attracted by the whiteness of a servant girls kitchen tables and floors, I very nearly committed an un- pardonable extravaganza down in Florida" said a good housekeeper. Never until I saw her tables and floors did I realize just how clean a kitchen can be. Recklessly I plan ned to invite the girl to come north and work for me. Before putting the fatal question I said:
 "By the way, Jennie, what do you scrub with?'
 Imagine how wilted when she said, Oranges. Just slice an orange in two and rub the wood. There is nothing like it to take of dirt
 And it had been on the tip of my tongue to offer $25 a month to girl who would require three dozen oranges a week to scrub withl"

The Abuse of sayonets.

A veteran soldier was talking about bayonets.
 "A lot of unjust obloquy was heap ed on our bayonet makers during the Civil war;" he said. "The makers were blamed for defects that were really the faults of us soldiers.
 T saw some interesting bayonet tests the other day that proved this. First, in these tests, a lot of swords and bayonets, and they came out in superb condition. Then they were put through the improper ordeal that too many of us subjected them during the war.
 "A piece of bread was toasted on a fine bayonet, and then the hot steel was thrust suddenly into cold water, as often happened in the field on the sudden appearance of an officer. The result was that the magnificent metal became as brittle as glass. Dropped on the floor, it broke into five pieces.
 Three bayonets were arranged in tripod shape and a steak was cooked under them. These bayonets cooled slowly, and, when cold, they were as soft as lead.
 And for these things, in the Civil war, many a bayonet makers name was disgraced."

SAVED BY HIS DREAM
6ALLooNIsT TAKES STRANGE VI.
 SION AS A WARNING.
Gives Up Ills Vocation and Ills Sue cessor Is Killed Within Two
 Weeks.

A dream in Buffalo five years ago. following an exhibition in a local park, caused Carl McManus to give up bal looming for less dangerous vocation, and, as he believes, probably saved his life. MT. McManus is now trav- cling salesman for New York house and was in Buffalo recently on busi- ness. At the Lafayette hotel he told his story.
 "I am only slightly superstitious," said McManus, ''but that dream proved too much for me. I'm mighty glad that it did, too.
 T had gone to bed rather early on the night of the dream, following my exhibition at the park. Things had gone rather badly and was tired out. A couple of narrow escapes had slight ly unnerved me.
 Tt couldn't have been more than ten minutes after I had fallen asleep be- fore started to dream. I was up in the air sailing along beautifully. There was no wind and the balloon. rose slowly and gracefully. I went higher and remained up longer than usual and then made ready to descend.
 'I threw out the ballast and held tight to the parachute, but the bal loon failed to shoot up. That was and let out the gas. Instead of fall ing the big bag remained stationary. It was most unusual and inexplicable.
 Thoroughly alarmed and mystified by this time, 1 cut the cords of the parachute. There was nothing doing. The balloon and the parachute seemed anchored in the air to stay there.
 Then I awoke A cold sweat GOV cred my body. The more I thought about the dream the more convinced I became that it was an ominous warn ing. It means, I told myself, that some day I will go up and never come down again alive.
 '"The next day gave up ballooning. My friends protested, but I told them knew what was best for me- left for New York that evening.
 "A couple of weeks later was read ing paper when I came across an item telling about an accident at an Ohio county fair in which balloonist was killed when his parachute failed to work. The man who was killed was the one who had stepped into my shoes when quit. The date was one I had been scheduled to i'll. If had kept my job I would probably have been killed, told myself. I am not very religious, but you can just bet that got busy right then and offered up thanks. And the following Sunday I attended church, too"

 She opened her mouth obediently. but the kindly tooth-lugger demurred.

 How much more will it cost?" she asked.

GORDON-BENNETT CUP WINNER

LEISHMAN TO SUCCEED HILL

John G. A. Leishman was proposed to the German government by Wash ington as American ambassador, to succeed Dr. David Jayne Hill, who resigned last spring.
 The United States asked whether the appointment of MT. Leishman. who at present is American ambassador at Rome, would be acceptable to the kaiser's government, through Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa- dor at Washington. MT. Leishman's name was submitted by telegraph to Emperor William, who was touring in the grand duchy of Mecklenberg.

 A little over ter years ago the United States undertook costly war to free Cuba and when after some years of self-government the Cubans failed in the primary purposes of all governments-to secure the safety of life and property-this country was forced to intervene When the last of our soldiers after the period of occupation left the island the state ment was made on the floor of our na- tional congress that if the United States were again called upon to in- tervene the American flag might never again be low cred in Cuba.

This display is in conformity with a
catalogue, which shows the car ndm-
Der, point of shipment, variety Of
fruit and the name of the grower, as
well as the quantity of each particu-
lar variety.
The fruit begins to arrive at the
pier at ~ o'clock at night, and it
takes small army of stevedores to
unload and sort it according to the
descriptions in the catalogue The
fruit is ready for inspection by a,
m. Each buyer before going to the
auction marks on a catalogue the
prices he is willing to bid. Fruit that
is purchased early in the sale is often
in the hands of the consumer before
the sale is concluded.
New York is the greatest consum.
ing market for California fruits in
the world, and the consumer there
gets it at a more reasonable rate than
the same fruit can be had at Los
Angeles or San Francisco California
uses an infnitesimal amount of its
fruit products.-Harper's Weekly.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT
IN NEW YORK.

IN NEW YORK.
Picture a room $50 feet deep by
fifty feet wide, arranged with seats
similar to those in a theater, seats
and aisles filled with eager men rep
resenting nearly every nation, shout
ing almost unintelligible sentences at
the top of their voices, and you have
conception of a New York fruit
auction.
A man on high stand, coatless,
collarless, usually with perspiration
running down his face in rivulets,
trying to bring some semblance of
order out of the confusion, completes
the picture. 1t is in such a room and
under these conditions that the vast
quantities of California fruit that roll
into New York every day of the year
are disposed of.
This public auction is held on pier
20 on lower West street. Here are
gathered all classes and kinds, from
the small buyer, who ekes out a live
lihood from his pushcart and buys
one or two boxes at a time to the
big jobber who buys as many car
loads at a time as the other does
boxes. 1t is a democratic gathering,
too.
During the California deciduous
season, which is chiefly in July, Aug-
ust and September, during which
months the majority of the pears,
peaches, grapes, cherries and plums
are received, these sales start
promptly at a m. and usually keep
up without intermission until or 4
o'clock in the afternoon and often
later. During this time from sixty
to seventy-five cars, each averaging
$50 or more boxes of fruit, are sold
daily The work is so strenuous that
often five or six auctioneers, working
at different times, are necessary to
complete the task.
All the fruit coming to New York
arrives in Jersey City. The cars are
loaded on floats, which hold twelve
cars each, and are landed at pier 20,
North river, at the foot of Duane
street. The cars are unloaded at
night, and sample boxes of fruit are
arranged ready for the inspection of
the buyers early in the morning.

The rooms are now all finished in
wood panelng and the furnishings of
old kou and koa, with cases of an
cient feather capes and regalia of the
former kings of Hawaii make the
place more than beautiful. The large
reception room was decorated in
ferns. Some of the finest specimens
of Australian ferns to be found in
these islands were in the drawing
room of the princess on Saturday
night.
The decorations throughout were
simple but elegant The room in yell
low chrysanthemums and the one in
red exoria were decorated with great
taste.
After an elegant poi supper, at
which fifty were seated, many other
friends arrived to participate in dane
ing.
At a late hour another supper was
served.
The prince and princess are leaving
for Washington, d. c., next week.
