THE LUSCIOUS ORANGE. THE EPICURE'S XVA Y OF CARVING AND SERVING IT. Skinning nnd Dissecting tlto Fruit—Tliero Is No Economy in liuying So-Called Cheap Orange*—The Florida Product by Ear the lie.st Sold in Our Markots— Point* of Interest. is little if W ll any economy in buy & ing cheap oranges, /?7\ writes Allen Fore /ryH K man in the Ladies' VMjr Home Journal. As hit a rule, there is more pulp an d juice in one iffl solid "Florida," for r) which you will pay three or four cents */T Ul 'hig the season, than in five of the cheaper fruit, which may possibly be sold as low as a cent ajiiece. Until the last few years, since oranges have become popularized, it was a matter of no little difficulty and concern to those who desired to eat gracefully to hit upon the best way to eat an orange. The thick, easily broken skin of the Spanish and Italian oranges admitted of but little variation in method. The . skin was carefully /7 i J V\ removed and the UjZZ i j \ \ fruit separated in n|g { 1 11 its natural sec- J j tions, and eatenJ piece by piece. MjKllp / With the thin, tough peel and ten der interior skin of the Florida orange this was a matter of greater difficulty. Fastidious people objected to the style which is the delight of childhood, viz., punching a hole in the orange with the forefinger and extracting the juice by pressure and suction, and soon the fashion was set of dividing the orange in halves at the equator, if the expression may be permitted, and digging out the pulp with a teaspoon. Some genius im proved upon this by cutting off only a small slice at the top of the orange, at about the arctic circle, so to speak, then with a sharp knife cutting out the core; a second circular cut just inside the skin separates the pulp, and if the operation is dexterously performed the fruit can be eaten with a spoon without sculling a drop of the juice, a recom mendation which has made it more popular than any other method. The native Sicilian, who does not care if lie does get a little of the juice smeared upon his countenance, takes his long, sharp knife—every Sicilian carries a long, sharp knife for family purposes, as lie generally has a vendetta or two on hand and cuts the orange spirallv ,,i , around, so that li becomes a long jjvfV- strip of peel and MS ) pulp. He grabs BjX'q in this strip at eithei ttVSk 7 ant * draws >! rapidly across his mouth, absorbing the juice as il passes. It is not pretty, but it is re markably effective. A modification ol this style is practiced in the United States and used to be known as "New Orleans' fashion." It consists in divid ing the orange diagonally into four sec tions, cutting across the core. It is not, however, considered good form by orange experts. Oranges are grown all over the semi-tropical world. Spain, Italy, Northern Africa, China, Southern Cali fornia, Florida, Cuba, and Palestine send their quota of the fruit to the great markets. But for excellence the Florida orange takes the lead. Florida produces a larger variety of oranges and brings them to greater perfection than any other region in the orango belt. Whether this is to be attributed to the soil, the climate, or to methods of cultivation has not been definitely decided, though I fancy the latter cause has the most to do with the ex cellence of the Florida fruit. Another fashion of eating an orange —which is considerable trouble ami lias but little to recommend it on score ' of elegance—is to cut just through the j skin at the equator and by carefully ! turing the peel back form a cup of the 1 skin at each pole of the orange. The pulp is thou bitten off around ami j around, as a school-boy eats an apple, j While this style k< ops the hands com- ! paratively clean, it smears the face ' most unpleasantly. The same objec- j tion may be urged against the fashion ; of peeling the orange on a fork and holding it in that way while eating it. Some people thrust a fork into the core of an orange, peel the fruit, and then slice it as one would an apple, losing thereby a large quantity of the juice. At a dinner-table, if the orange knives are very sharp—a ciroumstanco that rarely happens, by the way—this is perhaps as good away as any. It is simple and makes no fuss, and there is an air of refinement about touching tlio fruit only with the knife and fork, if it be gracefully done, which recommend;? it to many people. With a mandarin orange, which, a? its name suggests, originated in China, none of these methods are practicable. The mandarin is a delicate little fruit, with a strong musky flavor, and its tender skin tits as loosely upon the pulp as does the silken coat of its celes tian namesake. Like the Italian and Spanish oranges, its inner skin is dry, and it can be readily peeled and divid ed into sections. Its first cousin, the tangarine. whose habitat is Algiers and Northern Africa, is a trifle larger, no* quite so musky, but possesses all the other peculiarities of the mandarin. There is no doubt that the orange lias been brought, to its highest perfection in Florida; larger, juicier, aud fuller flavored fruit comes from the groves of that State than from any other part of the world. Flor- &■>( ida malaria does -9 aiot affect the or- RM Jj . nngo orchards, aud MmufA i t is said that orango jg&| growers utilise the disease by getting up in an orango tree when they feel a chill coming on, and let the ague shake down tho fruit. The navel orange, so called from the peculiar appearance of tho blossom cup at the lower end, is a true seedless orango, and probably stands first among orango lovers. It lias hardly any core, the flesh is solid and juicy, and the skin is thin and smooth. Tangarines, mandarins, sweet and sour oranges seem to thrive equally well on the sandy soil which looks as if it would not support a blade of grass. Orange-growers say that the long tap-root of the orange tree pierces through the sand into tho primeval swamp which underlies all Florida, aud it sucks nurishment from tho same sojirce whence „the oiauge- grower gets his chills and fever. How ever that may be, the fact remains that Florida is rapidly approaching the point where she can supply the world with oranges. There is no more beau tiful sight in the world than a Florida packing-barn during the season, great heaps of the yellow fruit piled up higher than a man's head; the pungent fragrance and the brilliant color de light the senses, and the low prices that they net home, after transporta tion and commissions are deducted, make the farmer wild. A word or two as to the methods of serving oranges at table may not bo amiss here. A simple way is to remove the peel from the w* top aud bottom of j/jjr / a k the fruit, leaving a F\ kV\\ £ irt^e about an ( iflllll l \ \\il \l)ll hich wide all about the equator; sever this at one side, llr, d carefully sep mate the sections from each other. leaving them all attached to the strip of skin. Another fashion which is ef fective for table-dressing is to cut the skin on lines of longitude, leav ing the sections attached at the south pole. In making up a dish of or anges prepared in this way some of the points of the peel may be bent forward under the orange and others be allowed to stand loosely away from the fruit. Carefully done this makes an sjpjfcfrv \ orange look like a JH||\ / a! large yellow A *3 w itli a white center. \ Sliced oranges is too familiar a disli nSbikL. to require auy com ment, but a very palatable modifica tion is to alternate in the dish layers of sliced banana and sliced orange and cover the whole with a frosting of desiccated cocoanut. The oranges do not look quite so pretty if the slices are cut parallel with the core rather than across it, but they are easier to eat. But every housewife knows of dozens of ways of fixing oranges for the table. After all an orange is some thing like a watermelon. However beautiful and palatable it may be when prepared for the table, it never tastes quite so sweet as when it is plucked from the tree and sucked with the vig orous assistance of both hands to squeeze out the juice.

"Mamma says I talk three-quarters of the time," said a little girl who had just begun to study fractions, and was quite willing to air her knowledge of terms, "but I'm sure I don't more than four-fourths of it." Such tricks do our tongues play us, when we let them wag at will, undi rected by the mentor, brain. It is as tonishingly easy to fall into slovenly habits of a speech which sound well, but cannot be literally interpreted. A lady who was on the point of leaving the house to pay some visits said, ab sently, as she looked at the leaves and dust whirling through the street: "Well, if I had known it would be so 'windy, I never should have gone." "Well, you haven't gone yet, have you?" asked her husband, rather test ily. This changed the current of her thought, and she continued half aggrieved. "Well, Richard, I should think you might have gone with me, and made that call we owe Aunt Sophia." Then Richard gave the matter up as lost. Another lady who, with the best in tentions, does not always say what she means, was one afternoon greatly con cerned at the thought that her husband, a lecturer, must work up to the very mo ment of delivering an address. "My dear," said she, going into the study, where he bent over his books, "can't you get a few minutes to sleep half an hour?" But he, being a mathematician, could not see the feasibility of the plan. A Itopc of I.ads. A number of boys were skating and sliding. On a sudden the ice gave way almost in the middle of the lake and one little chap fell in. There was no | house near where they could run for , help, no ropes which tlioy could throw to their struggling companion. The hoys stood on the bank, with pale, sor rowful faces, afraid to try to reach their friend, in case the ice should give out and swallow them all up. But one boy suddenly remembered that al- , though you cannot stand a board up- j right on the ice without its going i tli rough, yet if you lay the same board j flat on the ice it will bo quite safe, i Not only that, but he knew that ho 1 could run along the board without fear j of cracking the ice. It only took him a moment to remember all that; the next he spoke to his friends after this fashion: "I will lie down flat on the ice near the edge; then one of you must come to my feet and push me along till you too can lie down. If you all lio down in that way and push the boy in front of you, we shall make a lino quite long enough to reach poor Reuben." Taking the post of danger himself, .the brave boy was able by his living rope to reach his friend. He pulled him out, though he was not one mo ment too soon, for he was so exhausted with liis efforts to keep his head above watoi that lie would soon have sunk. ROAD RUNNERS AND SNAKES. A Rattler is Surrounded by ft Wall of Cactus and Goaded to Death. There is u strange bird of the pheasant family, peculiar to Southern California, Arizona aud Mexico, whose habits have long been a puzzle to naturalists, and has furnished much amusement and interest to sportsmen in these localities. The name of this bird is the road runner. It is built somewhat like an English ph#sant, being of a dull brownish color, and having long, tail feathers and short, thick legs. It derives its name, no doubt, | from its ability to get over ground at a I rapid rate, as well as from the fact that it is more frequently seen on the country roads than anywhere else. It is a very | wary bird, and is seen but seldom. It rarely takes flight when approached, but | will run along the ground with its head ' down, at a remarkable rate of speed. I [ This peculiar bird appears to be an in veterate enemy of rattlesnakes, which abound in great numbers in the localities ! before mentioned. It is said that the ! birds first kill and then eat the snakes, j but of this latter fact I am not certain! 1 Their methods of killing the snakes are | at once peculiar and ingenious, and will ' best be illustrated by the following inci- I | dent:— Some three years since I was camping ( on the Gila River in Arizona. I had ac companied a prospecting party, who had | gone to this region in search of silver : | and copper, which were said to be abundant in this section. I was seated one day at noon near a number of cactus plants, and getting such shelter from the noonday sun as a ' small cluster of manzanita bushes would | ! afford. I had not been seated long when j I observed lying asleep about twenty i i yards off a large rattlesnake. I Seizing a stick, I was about to make 1 an attack on the sleeping reptile, when 1 , I noticed a pair of large brown birds ' standing under a stump of bushes, and : apparently watching the rattler with ! great interest. As they had not seen me 1 1 resolved to keep quiet and watch for developments. I knew the birds were ! road runners, and, having heard that they never let a rattler escape when once they saw oue, I was anxious to see how it was done. i One of the birds cautiously approached 1 the snake, as if to satisfy itself that the i reptile was really asleep. The bird then | walked deliberately up to a small cactus plant and broke off a piece of the thorny substance, which it carefully laid down about a foot away from the snake. Piece by piece followed until the snake was , fairly walled in by a circle of thorns, from which it would have been very hard for the snake to have escaped without j serious injury. The next movement on the part of the birds was even more curious than before, j i The snake had remained asleep all this j ' time, but at this point one of the birds, | uttering a sharp note, jumped into the ; ring, gave the reptile a sharp nip with its ; beak, and was out again almost before ! his snakeship was aware of what had happened. ; To coil itself for a spring was the first j j act of the serpent, and, when one of the j birds approached within what appeared I | to be striking distance, there was a sharp, | j quick dart forward. As quick as a flash . i the bird was out of harm's way, and , j equally sudden was the movement!* of the other bird, which seized the snake from I j the rear before it could again assume a , coil. I Every time the snake launched out at ; the birds it was pricked by the thorns, j until it became perfectly frantic with j rage. At last, smarting under the pain in- j flicted and unable to reach the birds, I which kept jumping in and out of the ring with lightning-like rapidity, the rattler turned and bit itself again and ugain. At this the birds seemed to suspend j operations, and very soon the bouy of the snake began to swell, its movements became slower and slower and soon j ceased altogether. The snake was dead. ' What might have further happened 1 i am unable to say, as just at this stage of the proceedings I jumped to my feet aud thereby attracted the attention of the birds, who scampered of! and were soon lost to sight. The snake was a large one ! of its kind, and had thirteen rattles, be- ) sides the "button" at the end. When I 1 told them in camp what had happened, 1 was informed that this was by no means ; an uncommon occurrence, and that after killing the snakes, the birds invariably j made a meal of their victims.

The history of Peru is the record of a | series of conquests. The Inca aud Aymara tribes, intrenched in their st rong holds on the eastern slope of the Andes, i brought the Aborigines of the coast undei their sway before extending their empire northward to the Equator and southward ] to Central Chili. Pizarro and his war- j riors overthrew that empire and substitu- ! ted Spanish misgoverinent for the won- ] derfully effective administration of the < Incus. The revolt against Spain left a mixed population of European and In dian blood in control of its own destiny. European invasion was successfully re sisted when Callao was bombarded by a Spanish fleet, but the Chilenos overran the coast, captured the capital, annexed Tarapaca, permanently occupied Tacua, i and dictated at Ancun a humiliating' treaty of peace. From that war of devas tation Peru emerged bleeding at every pore, bankrupt in resources, and without power of reaction. Civil strife and finan cial mismanagement completed its ruin. Its utter exhaustion has left it at the , mercy of the English bondholders, whose j conquest is now complete.--[New j Tribune WORK OF THE WITS. ' Is IT the stone ballast that makes a | boat rock ?

Nobody doubts the wisdom of build ing a new navy; the efforts made in this direction have been applauded by statesmen of all parties, and the people are very willing to see their money spent on ships of war worthy of the name. W r e would not counsel for a moment anv abatement in tho gener osity of our national policy in naval affairs, but is it not nl 10 nearly time that something should bo done for tho armv? There is a great deal to bedone, and some of tho reforms are instantly needed. The United States soldier is very little better off in point of weapons than his predecessors at the end of tho civil war. He lias a breech-loading rifle of antique pattern; the artillery have guns out of date judged by Eu ropean standards, and most of the heavy guns in our forts on the seacoast are relics of the last war. While all tho old countries have been advancing fo tho present stage of magazine rifies, j small bullets, and smokeless powder, the United States has stood still. The old flint-lock of Washington's day is hardly less fitted to be opposed to tho modern magazine rifle than the arm which the American infantryman relies on to-day. There seems to be a delightfully cheerful view taken of the army by tho War Department and the big (lener als. But the rank and file who will havo to stand the brunt of an invasion of a foreign foo with modern arms can not bo expected to see the joko in .-o happy a light. It is not at all humor-1 ous to be killed in battle, even if it is made plain at the subsequent Congres sional investigation that inadequate arms were responsible for the mortality.; One of tho favorite arguments of tho day in this connection is that this conn-1 try is so great and resourceful that sho could afford to wage war for a year or two and thon come out victorious. Perhaps—but a host of victims must be sacrificed wliilo the country is get ting into modern armor. Who will volunteer to engage a foe who has twenty shots for his one, a deadly range of three miles, where he cannot kill at oyer a mile?
