ORANGE INDUSTRY.

The interior of any one of the big
orange packing houses in either Flor
ida or California shows a wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are a
dozen different sizes of oranges and
so automatic is the grading that every
box of oranges comes out with every
orange almost the exact size OF its
companions. The result is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as low as one cent apiece-from this
to 80 or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
Judgment is the throwing out OF culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays in both of the big orange
growing states the orange business is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ming. The latter is handled by CO.
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
and grapefruit.

AROUND THE CORNER.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end;
Yet days go by and weeks rush on,
And before | know it year is gone,
And I never see my old friends face
For life is swift and terrible race.
He knows | like him just as we'll
As in the days when | rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger
then;
And now we are busy, tired men
Tired with playing a foolish game;
Tired with trying to make q name.
Tomorrow" | say, L will call or
jim,
Just to show that I'm thinking OF
him"
But tomorrow comes-and tomorrow
goes;
And the distance between us grows
and grows.
Around the corner,-yet miles away
There's a telegram, sir
Jim died today
And that's what we get-and deserve
in the end
Around the corner, vanished friend

There was a rath l used to love, in
Ireland long ago,
An ancient dun in which they dweIt-
the Fairy Folk, you know.
All belted round with hawthorn was
this Rath of Closharink,
And one could hear, when straying
near, their silver anvils clink!
Q, clfnk, clank, clink-hear the fairy
hammers go;
Clink, clank, clink, in their caves of
gold below!
What were they a-forging in the dun
Of Closharink
Upon their silver anvils tapping
clink, clank, clink?
When all the thorn was blossomed
white, and yellow was the furze
You'd hear them in the MONDAY hush
when ne'er linnet stirs,
You'd hear them in the evening when
the sun began to sink
And purple glory flushed the hills that
smiled on CIosharink.
o, clink, clank, clink, hear the fairy
hammers sound
Clink, clank, clink, in their FORCES I'M
foreground;
What were they a-patterning, the
Sidhe of Closharink,
With all their silver anvils sounding
-clink, clank, clink?
What were they a-fashioning-a crown
y for great Queen Nave;
A helmet for Cuchulain, or a shield
for Lugh the Brave:-
A scabbard for the Sword of Light
that flames on dangers brink,
A jeweled torque for Angus who is
king at Closharink?
Clink, clank, clink, like a harp note,
sweet and low,
Clink, clank, clink, and a big moon
climbing slow!
Though youth is far from me tonight
and far is CIosharink,
My senses thrill to hear it still, that
clink, clank, clink!

KEEP ON LAUGHING.

1t has been suggested in this coun-
try that the press and platform con-
fine themselves to serious things; that
anything with a smile in it be ban
ished as not in keeping with the car
mage and privatiOn of war. 1t is also
pointed out Paderewski has ceased to
play his beloved instrument because
of the suffering and despair in his
native Poland. Harry Lauder, whose
son, serving in a Scotch regiment,
gave his life for Britain, has stopped
making people laugh and now is
preaching to them.
One day when Lincoln's cabinet met
the President asked one of the mem
bers if he had read Nasby's latest.
Mr.. Stanton-austere, stern, dignified
took the President to task, saying
he ought to be thinking of sterner
things. Mr.. Lincoln replied:
stanton, think l have the bur-
dens of this nation on my heart, but
laughter is my safety valve. l am
sure that if l couldn't laugh some
times I'd bust
If laughter (Which is so closely akin
to tears) will better fit us to bear our
load, then we can not do without it.
Sometimes a tightly wound spring
snaps. That could be avoided by
loosening the tension. Laughter is a
means of loosening the tension of the
human system. 1t is needed espe-
cially now.

KEEP AFTER THINGS.

DO you remember when you learned
to swim, or ride a bicycle? You went
to it for all you were worth, but you
couldn't get the hang of it. Then, a
few days afterward, you tried again
and it came to you" first thing.
But it wouldn't have come to you
if you hadn't gone to it, that other
time. The effort which seemed to be
wasted at the time you made it wasn't
wasted after all. You will find it the
same with learning how to think. II
you can't keep your mind on the sub,
ject tomorrow morning, keep on trying
till the half hour is up. The next
morning you'll do a little better, and
you'll surprise yourself within d few
weeks.

GROCERIES

then ask him where he was going
Of course, Henry would announce his
intended trip to the lodge, whereat
the friends would wish him we'll, hope
that his evening would be pleasant,
and again comment upon his fine ap-
pearance.
Then they would go home, feeling
that they had done their part as
friends and brothers of humanity to
make Henry happy.
After the lodge visit, Henry would
have news fer weeks. He would be
reciting the gossip of the lodge, and
would surely have an intimate story of
some prominent member, which would
be a surcharge. The plethora of news
would last him for weeks. Then
gradually he returned to normal and
talked about business, the newspapers
and politics.
Well, Henry laughed immoderately
at my loss of watch, chain and charm.
He related it over and over again to
all of his customers who would listen
to it. He stood at the door of his
store and stopped passersby to tell
them of my being taken in by the
pickpockets. And always he rubbed
it in,, by saying to me, or of me:
Such a smart fellow, too, to get
robbed, by golly, he was easy
Now I did not see the humor of the
robbery or the repetition of the story
quite as deeply as Henry did. He
found it a storehouse of fun. He I'M
packed specimens of elephantine
verbiage and ponderous jokes that
hardly thought him capable of. He
delighted in telling the tale. When
ever opportunity offered, to stranger
or friend, in my presence, Henry told
that story. And the humor got weaker
and weaker to me.
Then came when Henry was to go
to his lodge. Like good and dutiful
friend, | did my duty. l knew the
time was drawing near, and | in
quired, innocently, as if mostly unin-
formed about it, if it were not, about
time for Henry to be paying his lodge
dues. And Henry announced that he
was going to the lodge on a certain
night. So, of course, | was on hand,
as were others, on the afternoon of
that evening.
We went through our parts like men
and brothers. We feigned astonish-
ment at his improved appearance, and
we gave out gentle intimations that
the lodge was only an excuse, and that
he was really going, off on some devil
ment. Henry denied such intentions,
and we affected incredibly We con-
veyed the idea in several forms, and
we went away, apparently uncon-
vinced that his purpose was as he de-
clared it to be.
This we did each year. with slight
variations. Henry enjoyed the sly digs
and the intimations of his gallantry
and cavalier qualities. 4

ROMANTIC SICILY.

Sicily's history is as vivid and pic

tensely practical, as the stories of all

And in beauty Of nature, of climate or

disc today, whether or not it was ever
the voorhees,, painless, passionless
elysium where our first ancestors en-
Joyed all the good things of life with
out having to toll.

in commissions or in quiet fertility
that science has made plain to us,
WeaVes its mysterious shuttle through

ST. FRANCIS AND THE BIRDS.

Over the ocean, long ago,
In the land of Italy,
Lived a good man named st. Francis,
Francis of Assist ..
Neither silver or gold had he,
His roof was the sky above,
But he helped the sick and the needy,
And told them of Gods love.
And all men he called his brothers,
The birds and the flowers, too,
And one day he preached to flock
of birds
A sermon good and true.
They fluttered and twitted about him.
And when he was old, tbs said,
choir of larks sang to him
AS he lay on his dying bed
For the birds and the flowers all
loved him,
They know their friends, you see;
He was kind to man and bird and
beast,

RECKONING TIME.

Previous to the coming of Christ
time was reckoned A. U. c., that is
Alb Urbe Condita, or in English.
From the Founding of the City"
(Rome); but since then the years are
computed A. D. Ammo Domini, or
Year of the Lord"
The years 754 A. U. C. and l A.
d. coincide. However, it is most
probable that Christ was born on
December 25, TAT A. U. C. or six
years previous to the beginning of
the Christian Era. His birth certain
~ did not take place later than $50
A. U. c., for st. Matthew says it &C.
CURED during the reign of Herod the
Great; and Herod, we know died in
$50 A. U. c., for all the early writer's
tell us He came down to earth as
man in time of peace; and the only
period Of peace about that time be
gan in 746, and lasted six years. That
He was born in TAI A. u. G.. is highly
probable from the fact that the cen
sus, spoken of in the GOSPEL. was
made by Sentius Sauterpius, proprac
tor OF Syria, in his last year of office:
and he, we know, held office from 744
A. U. c. to the beginning of the year
748 A. U. G. Hence, we are justified
in concluding that Christ was born on
December 25. TAT A. U. c.. or six
years before the opening of our pres-
ent calendar,

THE BELLMAN.

The important person whom TODAY
we call night policeman was known
in London in the seventeenth century
as the bellman, the name being given
on account of bell which he always
carried in his hand, as policeman
carries a club. This was for the pur.
pose of giving an alarm in case of
fire. In his left hand he bore q
painted pole, and suspended at his
waist was lantern. Once every year it
was the custom for the belIman to go
about among the citizens, who were
expected to buy from him a set Of
printed verses. t
These verses were, for some I'M
known reason, called broAdside,
and were usually so devoid Of merit

And Henry went to the lodge.

And Henry went to the lodge.
| came down on a Third Avenue
car that night about eleven o'clock
and at the corner of Grand Street and
the Bowery l saw Henry waiting for
his eastbound car. | knew how burn

Where's your watch?"
Henry grasped at his pocket with
out answering me. He looked down
at his swelling form. He picked up
the pendant watch chain He
nervously felt his pockets, and then
he gasped:
Jerusalem, the watch is gone"
[ smiled. First a flicker swept
across my face, then the skin crinkled,
then unable to hold it back, out burst
a laugh so loud and hearty that the
passersby looked around to find the
source of the humor Henry's face
was blanched. His eyes were bullying.
He was fumbling at one pocket after
another. He looked at the watch
chain with stupor gradually dulling
his facial expression And all the
while l laughed immoderately. At
length, said:
And such a smart fellow, too, to
get robbed. By golly, he was easy"
We came home in the car together.
Henry was all excitement. He told
the conductor of his loss. He told it
to his waiting wife and woke up his
two sons to relate it to them.
The next morning he was busy
telling everybody he knew But the
neighborhood was not as excited
about it as Henry. | came into the
store while he was telling a man
whom we both knew. Henrys manner

and invented other parts. Henry
could secure no credence for his
denial of my assertions.
l could see that Henry's being
robbed was funny. But he could not
see it at all. When he heatedly re-
minded me that l had not thought
my own loss was humorous l nearly
broke Henrys heart by saying that
now | could see that mine was funny,
too
That left Henry without an argu-
ment.
But Henry planned revenge upon the
tribe of pickpockets. He confided his
scheme to no one until he had it per-
fected. He went to shoddy jewelry
place and bought huge hunting
cased watch, an ornate chain and q
