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- &■>(

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.

Men's Era.
New Conquest of Peru.
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

Our Army Is Weak.
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? Twenty-five years be
hind is too far in tho rear of the pro
cession for safety.

If your lungs are weak, breath short, have

are plunged into tho relentless grasp of that !
most fatal scourge Consumption.
You can't afford to fool away any J
precious time, if suffering from any !
considerable number of these unmistalra

madness to trifle and experiment with un
