"If it is true, as tbo Census Burenn alleges," asks the Chicago Record, "that there nre 100,000 more married ineu in the country than there are married women, what, in the name ol Hymen, are those 100,000 men mar ried to?" The nntivo Russian jieasautry ol Esthonia and Livonia, now numbering altogether about 1,500,000, have sent thirteen deputation to St. Petersburg to celebrate the seventy-fifth anni versary ol their emancipation by the Emperor Alexander I. According to tho Chicago Herald nil tho United States Senators from the Stales south of the Potomac served in tho Confederate armies ex cept Irby, of South Carolina, and Blancliard, of Louisiaun, who were too young then for military service. At the animal meeting of the Han iiemann Hospital Association in Phil adelphia the other day an interesting explanation of the crowded condition of tho hospital was made. Secretary Lewis said tho institution had been crowded beyond its capacity, and the number of typhoid fever cases was in excess of ail previous years. This condition the physicians ascribe to tho business depression and conse quent worry of men over financial matters. The death of David Dudley Field, the eminent New York jurist, recalls to the Philadelphia Ledger the most remarkable story of four famous brothers, all of whom led useful lives. Cyrus West Fields, one of these brothers, who died in 1892, was the projector of the Atlantic cable; David Dudley Fieiil distinguished himself as a lawyer and acquired a national repu tation by his codification of the laws of New York. Other brothers arc Su preme Court Justice .Stephen J. Field and Dr. Henry M. Field, the editor of the Evangelist. They were sons of a poor, but distinguished Berkshire clergyman, who managed to give three of his sons a collegiate education, of which they made excellent use. Officials of the United States Navy Department have found a curious typographical error in the Bering Sea law recently passed by Congress, and *re wondering what its effect may be. It is feared, states the New Orleans Picayune, that it may invalidate tho whole law. Tho award of the Paris Tribunal prohibited tho capture of seals at all times within a zone of sixty miles round the PribylolV Islands, "inclusive" of the territorial waters. The bill, as iutroduc d by Mr. Mor gan, Chairman on the Seuato Com mittee on Foreign delations, con tained tho correct phraseology, but when it was printed the types ma le tho word "exclusive," and the bill was so pissed. What the legal effect of the error may bo still remains to be seen, but so 1110 people think that the Senate will have to reconsider its work and pass the bill again formally before it will bo properly operative. There is a good deal of red tape about legal matters.

Canon Wilberforce, in a recent in terview published in the Westminster Gazette, contends that the lower ani mals are immortal, and uses hiß belief as an argument against the establish ment of a Pasteur institute in Eng laud. It is an interesting fact that out of the 08,403 postoflices in tho United States the ten largest furnished thirty aud two-tenths per cent, or noarly one third of the entire revenues of the de partment in the last fiscal year. These teu postoflices are located at New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Baltimore and Pittsburg, and they rank in the order given. Chicago is No. 2 in the list and shows the largest increase in business, which was eighteen and three-tenths per cent. St. Louis comes second with ten and four-tenths per cent., Cincinnati next with nine and four-tenths and New York next with eight and seven-tenths per cent. Tho proposal of Kaiser William to make the peanut a liberal portion of the German soldier's rations has an unusual interest for American farmers, maintains the American Farmer. First, it is something that there is a fair margin of profit on, which there is not on wheat and corn sold abroad. Second, we would not have, for tho present at least, the destructive com petition of Russia and Argentina. But we fear that just as soon as the Kaiser's saldaten begin to eat peanuts in considerable quantities, ho will or der the German colonies in Africa to go into peanut raising. Anyway, it will bo some years at least before they can produce as good and cheap pea nuts as we can raise in the South. While there are no night mirages in the far West like the one of an in verted shore, lighthouse, and vessels, recently seen off the North Carolina coast, the twilight or dawn upon plains o • mountains sometimes brings a strange magnifying of celestial bodies uear the horizon. Thus, at close of a day, when from evaporating snow or a recent rainfall the air is humid near the ground, tho goiug down of a red and sullen sun below tho western sky line is sometimes followed almost co incidentally by the rising in the east of a full moon, in vast and fiery, which, red and portentous, seems to poise at the moment of its complete emergence over prairie, ridge or mountain, threatening to roll, a burn ing sphere, down tho slope toward the beholder. Similarly, the morning and evening stars at times take on si»e and colors so extraordinary that eveu tho experienced plainsmen can scarcely believe that new and vast con stellations have uot appeared for the first time in the heavens.

OREENE. §H dear, Abncr!" ex claime . Mrs. Rod gera to lier husband ono May morning as she bustled about the kitchen, "I don't 9 see how in this world I'm ever going to get through with all my spring work— cleaning and everything ! If I didn't have to keep ono eye on gran'pa I could do more. Seems as if ho grew worse and worse." She paused with a sigh. Her hus band waited silently for more. "When the peddler called yesterday he was setting quiet as a lamb by the stove, with the cat in his lap, kind of playing with her, so I ventured togo j up garret and pick over the rags—it j makes such a litter down here—and I when 1 got back gran'pa was still set- | ting there and fast asleep. I thought j everything was all right, but come to j make my fire for dinner a few minutes | after, there was an awful towsing and I mewing in the oven. I opened the! door and out jumped the cat! If | tliere'd been a hot fire ho'd dono just I tho same I suppose!" Abner, who was sitting by tho table looking over a lot of garden-seeds for j the spring sowing, latiglied shortly and i shrugged his shoulders. "Yon know what I think about gran'pa's doings," he said ; "you know where I think folks had ought togo when they lose their faculties and are no good to themselves nor anybody else." "Now, Abner," said his wife, re proachfully, "don't say you'd semi gran'pa to the poorliouse! Think what a good man he's been, and what j a smart man. How can you be so un feeling ! You wouldn't want ycui children to do so by you, iu your old | age." "I sha'n't probably outlive my use- | fulness,"answered Abner, coldly. "My father worked till the very day of his death—more'n paid his keep till the last." "And father Pinney has already more than paid his keep, if he lives to be a hundred, and you know it!" re turned his wife, indignantly. "You always lay out to forget that he's give us the old place !" "Well," said Abner, "I sha'n't hire help at present; we can't afford to, not while we have such au expense a-goiug on iu tho family." Her father, when ha came to live with them, had made over to Abner the old homestead, the "Pinney I'lsce," as it was called. It was a good farm lying adjacent to theirs, but tho house was old and of little value. So, also, was the house they now occupied, and the plan was to sell tho "Pinney Place" and with the money build a new house where their own now stood. Hut Abner seldom chose to remem ber the ample provision Kraudpa had made for his support, and on this oc casion, instead of replying to his wife's reminder, he picked up a pack age of early lettuce seed, and started off. At the door he turned, however, and said, perhaps with some idea of encouraging her; "Ain't it about time for grau'pa's May-moving? He won't be round uu -1 derfoot so much when he gets tip iu his tree." "4 hope he won't go. I hope he's forgot all about it," she said, anxious- I lv. "1 tell you, Abner, it isu't safe and it i*n t respectable for an old man ! like father to sleep outdoors in a tree ! I Set ins us if 1 couldn't hate liiiu do it i aguiu." She dashed tlui tears away fr»in her | eyes as her husband went out. "I do wish I could ever learn to hold tuy tongue, complaining to Ab ner !" she exclaimed, bitterly. "lie always blames everything off onto graii'pa, and that's all the good it does. It s a burning shame I can't 1 have help through house-oleauiw' , but if gran'pa 'II only give up his May- I moving this y% .ir 1 won't say another word uot tf I »utk my lingi rs to the bone I" Two years before, when the spring came found, tlraudpa I'tnuey ha I taken a queer In aU into his head.

Then on the last day of May, which was unusually warm for the season, iu spite of his daughter's coaxing and scolding, ho insisted on dragging his bed and bedding up there. A single chair and his Testament completed tho furnishing. From that time on, not only did ho spend his days in the tree chamber, but ho actually slept there at night. Nothing but a smart shower could drive him into the house. What seemed strange, no harm came to him from the exposure. He did not get the terrible colds and rheu matism that Belinda had feared; on tho contrary, he seemed to grow stronger and happier every day. And she found sho could accomplish twice as much work. It was true, as Abner had said, "he was out of her way;" still, sho did not feel quite easy about him. It seemed a dreadful thing to have her old father sleeping out there alone in the darkness of the night! So she anxiously hoped that he would not think of going this year. But a few days after the recorded conversation, Belinda came home from an errand to a neighbor's house, to find that the "May-moving" had taken place. Abner, who had been a wit ness to the proceeding, only said, carelessly: "Let him be, he's all right; nothing happened to him last year." What finally reconciled Belinda more than anything else was a remark ber father made in his rambling way, which gave her new insight into his feeling. "Belindy, darter," he said, "don't bonder me. Everything is free out of-doors, free and welcome." She knew then that he realized how grudgingly he was housed and fed. His withdrawal from the house seemed i but a natural instinct, the protest of j his self-respect. After that she could ! uot oppose him farther. She allowed I him the most perfect freedom to come and go as he liked. "God 'll take care of him, as Ho j does of the birds and the rest of His j creatures," she said to herself, trust ful lj'. One day Abner came in very much elated. "Belindy!" he exclaimed, "what should you say to au offer of four thousand dollars for tho old place! I What kind of an offer is that, hey?" I and he rubbed his hands in great sat j isfaction. "1 should Kay it was a bouncing ■ good offer, and you'd better take it," said his wife. He went on excitedly to tell hor tho ' particulars. | "And now, Abner," sho said pres | ently, in her coaxing way, "I do hope | you'll try and fed a littlo more pa tient with gra'id'pa. Just think of 1 all that money coming to us through j him!" "The best of it is," continued 1 Abner, who just now could think of nothing but the money, "tho best of !it is, Belindy, it's going to bo paid , , down! So all I've got to do is to | clap it into the bank, and let it stay | | till after the crops aro in. Then i we'll begin the new houso right away 1 —have it all dono and ready to move , into by spring!" "And when wo get into tho new j house, we're going to havo Mary and ! tho baby come homo to live with us, , ' ain't we? You know you've prom- i ised," reminded his wife, bent on tak ing all possible advantage ot her un usual opportunity. Mary, their only daughter, had married a poor man, and was now a . widow, supporting herself and child by working in the factory iu a distant town. To have her child and graud i child at home with her had long been tho wish of the mother's heart; but her husband had always put her off. "Wait till wo get into tho now i house,"he had always said. "Then there'll bo more room." Hut slio had feared that he never really meaut to ! consent. Now, to her astonishment and delight, he answered good | uaturedly: "Yes, yes; let 'em come!" His good luck seemed to have warmed his heart, ami made him for ouee fatherly and benevolent. The uext day the man who had bought tho Pinney farm paid to Abner the price in full—four thousand dollars; mora money than either \tiuer or his wife hat ever seen be fore. Iu the midst of their joyful excite ment, they were both suddenly struck with an auxious fear. Hiuee Abner could not take the money to the bank till the uc»t day, where should they put it for safe-ket piug through the night? After much deliberation they de elded to hide it in a little cupooar I over the maiitcl in the |utrb) , Ihi 112 'l bu mote apt t" think I he 1 il ,un le* H»y plllia, h; »sl t that night "At any tmtf, we ve gut t" »Ui» llu >..k oi lu.UM 4a* teem wee lnil el smoke! They sprang out of bed, t« HOC the flames already bursting througl the door opening into the parlor. "The money ! the money I" screamed Abner, frautically, and rushed into flumes, only to bo driven quickly back Ho flew outdoors and round to th< parlor windows, hoping to gain en trance there ; but he was too late. Tli« wholo house seemed to be in flames J it burned like tinder. Before any of the neighbors were aroused, before Abner and his wif« thought of anything but the money, the wholo house and all it contained was gone—money, furniture, clothing —everything gone in a night! At first the thought of his loss drovf Abner almost wild. Ho ravod like 8 madman, and his wife looked into hie face in speechless agony. What could she say ? How was shs to comfort a man like him for the losi of his property ? She did not think of herself for a moment; she only felf for him. But all sho could do was to pray silently that God would mercifully help him to bear his grief. And as i; in answer to her humble prayer, t miracle began then and there to lx worked in Abner's sordid soul. Whih he sat on the great chopping-block it the dooryard, in the midst of the ruir of his hopes, gradually his miserj seemed to abate. The sun had risen, the birds wort twittering in the trees, and by and by the cows came up tho lane one by oni of their own accord to tho milking Tho old horse and tho colt in the field, put their heads over tho fence anc whinnied, and finally the great roostei strutted up quite closo to Abner and crowed encouragingly. Abner, looking up into his wife's face, almost smiled "1 forgot the creatures," he said, slowly. "They're left to us —and there's the land. If we only had th( money to build the new houso with 1 wouldn't care." "Nevermind; we shall get along somehow. I reckon the Lord'll pro vide," she answered cheerfully. "Belindy," said Abner, tremulously, "the worst of it is I deserve it all. Anil seo here," hesitating and speaking with evident effort, "I—l'm afraid I've got nobody but myself to blame foi the fire. Belindy —I suppose—it was my own hand that set that fire. You see I went info tho parlor just at dusk to make sure the money was safe be fore going to bed, and not contented with feeling it, I lit a match to see. I expect that match doue tho mischief; it must bo! And I believe it's a judg ment upon me, too. "Yes," ho sobbed, breaking down entirely now, "yes, I've been a grasp ing, wicked man, and now granpa's money—" At the mention of grandpa Belinda sprang up with a cry, and hastened to the chamber in tho tree, closely fol lowed by her husband. In their sel fish grief they had quite forgotten grandpa! Was ho safo? They clambered quickly up tho steps and reached the landing. There on the bed lay the old man, still sleeping, lie was a very sound sleeper always, and evidently the fire had not wakened him. As they looked uponhiin, thcthought of what would probably have been his fate had ho been sleeping in the house, u:ade their blood run cold. "We should havo forgot nim—and we couldn't havo saved him, anyway !' they said. While they stood th re ho awoke. Seeing his unusual visitors, ho sat up iu bed and rubbed his eyes, a little bewildered ; then suddenly a wonder fully bright expression illumined his dim 01.l face, and he laughed aloud. "I know, Belindy. I haint forgot!" he chuckled, and slippiug his hand under the pillow, ho drew out tho bundle done up iu the baudauna that they hail hidden in the parlor cup board, and delivered it over to Be linda. "I knew it would be safest herewith me," he explained simply. "Thieves don't never look up in tho trees for nionoy." They built the new house, and grandpa's room was the largest and best room iu it. Mary aud the baby came home to live, aud mother au.l daughter did tho housework together easily. Tho next year grandpa forgot all about his May-moving, lie was con tented aud happy ill the new house, where lie now found everything "free and welcome." lint he still likes his chamber iu the tree, and sits there often of a summer afternoon, poring reverently over his Testament or kuss iag up through the tree*, dreaming perhaps of heaven.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH OF A DO MESTIC INDUSTRY. Driving the Foreign Fruit From Our Market—lmmense Yields of Flor ida and California Trade. V J-HE growth of the American I orange trade has been phe nomenal,and its history is full of interest. Thirty years ago the oranges consumed in tbis country were obtained mainly from the Medi terranean countries, the tart Sicilian orauge, however, being supplemented by the "sweet Havanas," which latter have tince been so completely sur passed by the even more luscious Floridas, the finest oranges in tho world, that they now practically exist only in memory. Only three decades ago the entire orange trade of this country was controlled by a few ex tensive importers. Business was then done entirely on orders, the importers sending their orders abroad every fall, at which season sailing vessels, which have since been entirely supplanted by steamships, were chartered to trans port the fruit from Sicilian and other Mediterranean ports to this country; in fact, September was tbo month in which business arrangements wero an nually made six months in advance of their fulfillment. This method ot conducting business existed for many years, but in 1865, tho growers of Sicilian oranges, who had previously sold their crops en tirely on orders, begau to ship them to this country on consignment. Tho old importers then gradually aban doned their original methods and be gan to receive fruit as consignees, in stead of importing it. New firms en tered the field and strong competition sprang up in the business, which was then profitable, as may be seen by the fact that-a single New York firm, in one season, realized a clear profit of over $30,000 on its Sicilian consign ments alone. About fifteen years later tho Amer ican fruit firms were largely super seded by Italians, the fruit growers of Sicily and the native shippers of Pal ermo and other Mediterranean porta sending their sons and relatives to this country to establish firms, till now only three or four distinctly Ameri ioan firms of prominence remain in the business. During the last ten years, however, thn importation of oranges from tho Mediterranean has steadily decreased, and, while largo quantities continue to come'from Sic ily, the imports from Spain have dwindled into utter insignificance. Tho decline of importation was brought about by the rapid growth of tho do mestic orange industry, which has been most remarkably developed. For eign growers at first ridiculed tho idea that they could ever be deprived of the American market, in which thoy had long been accustomed to reap bountiful harvests annually, but their ridicnlo was soon turned to regret. About that time, only a single decade ago, the Florida orange industry spuing into prominence as if by magic, and tho product of tho Florida groves has sinco swiftly and steadily in creased, till now tho annual crop is estimated at fully 6,000,000 boxes, and it is yearly augmented. California has since come into great prominence as an orange-producing State, and last year supplied 2,500,- 000 boxes, which wero distributed mainly through the West and North west. only a limited quantity reaching tho Atlantic seaboard, on account of tho high rates of freiKht, it costing 87 ( cents a box to transport oranges froni tho Pacific Slope to New \ork by rail, while those from Florida, coming by steamship, are transported for fifty cents a box, giving the Flor ida growers ail advantage of 371 cents a box. Teu years ago there "'ere probably no less than 150 firms receiving tho delicious Florida oranges directly from the fragrant groves, and, iu fact, it was said that a w .11-worded circular and a brass stencil-plate were the only prerequisites for procuring abundant I consignments from t iie confiding urow : ers. Tho number of receivers iu this citv, however, has rapidly decreased, j and there are now not in >re than ten I or twelve firms of noteworthy proui- I inencc iu the trade hero. lien there | was such a uuiuber of firms iu I the trade there were many whose busi j ness methods were open to criticism, | and who duped the oiauge growers an I | the public, but they have happily been I driven out of the trade, which is now ! conducted by reputable firms and on | strictly business principles.
