The orange is the longest lived fruit tree. It begins to boar the third year after budding, and for 100 years It will yield abundnnt crops. Orange trees have been known to attain the ripe age of 800. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. Its early growth Is "rapid. In the first two years It grows more than It will In the next fifty. This refers of course to Its height and breadth alone Its fruit stems and consequently Its crops Increase more rapidly after the first ten years. For Sae. Rubber tired. sinule buggy.

A physician points out that, several fallacies are common with regard to tbe weight of the human body. Tho man who congratulates himself on bis gain of several pounds In weight in a given period may have no cause for rejoicing, for he may bo under a delu sion. Very few persons sayB the in vestigator, have any correct idea of their own weight. As a matter of fact, the weight of the body Is continually changing owing to innumerable influ ences. On a warm day after break fast a man will lose more than a third of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent of tbe body contains water, and its weight varies constantly. The Infer ence to be drawn from the loss or gain of a pound or two may be mistrusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces arc a sign that the body is in a healtiiy state. Milwaukee Citizen. Gold Horaeahoea In Gillen Tine.. Roman writers inform us that Corn modus caused the hoofs of his horses to be covered with gold leaf and even the fetlocks to be gilded. Nero's short journeys were Invariably performed on white mules wearing gold. shoes on their fore feet and silver behind. The beasts which drew the chariots of his wife, Poppae, were shod all around with gold. Several others among the dignitaries and potentates of the riot ous days of the Roman empire shod their horses with gold and used the same material for bridle bits, buckles, spurs, etc. The Life Line on the Foot. Starting from the base of tbe big toe there Is a distinct line. That Is the life line. In one foot It will curve along until It terminates under the Instep far toward the lower base of the little toe. ThlB means long life. If broken In tbe hollow of the foot It denotes a sickness at middle age, and If It terminates In the hollow of the foot it means a short life. This line Is the most Interesting one on tbe foot The experiments that have been conducted have proved this to be an almost unfailing reading of longevity. Simon and Greyy.

" The Ait 'ofToTiusr; Cultivate the art of Idlirr:. There is no doubt that to be able to Idle at will la a most valuable gift and one which is becoming rarer every day. The art of loafing Is not properly understood by the majority of people. Much has been written on the subject. Steven son dealt with It In an essay; Mr. Kenneth Grahame touched on it In "Paean Papers," and Mr. Barry Pain has some Illuminating remarks on the subject In his Canadian canoe book. There is a subtlo difference between the views of these experts. Mr. Gra hame advocated absolute Idleness. Mr. Pain pointed out, with more truth, that the great art of loafing was to do the easiest thing and that sometimes It Is easier to work than to be Idle. This Is the secret of the whole matter. The superficial Idler thinks It bis duty to be idle on every occasion. Tbe man who has studied the subject knows that this Is an entirely erroneous view. There are times when we feel that we must be up and doing. If we sternly repress this Inclination our pence is disturbed. The really scien tific Idler Is the man who can Idle at will. London Chronicle. , WORSHIP OF SPRINGS. low It Prevailed Amonar Early F to ll If M In the Sonthweat. Springs nro rarely found lu the south western part of tho United States, and for tills reason they bavo been from ancient times prized as a most valued possession. Tho people who dwelt lu this region, says Walter Hough lu "Records of tho Past," saw in those sources of life giving water the remits of C3iitinuance and well being, and near them they located their pueblos. Save air,' no elements of nature ore nearer to hmmm life than those com bined Into the primitive fluid which must nhvays be within reach of men who put themselves Into tho grasp of tho desert. The primary knowledge of tile tribes who wcro tho pioneers niul of every human being who has since made his home lu tho grout American desert was complete as to the location, distribution ami ldosyncrasies of the wnter supply. Spring water Is naturally more prized by the inhabitants of those desert soli tudes than that from living streams, because It is always drinkable and al ways at hand, while the watercourses, which for tho greater part of the year aro sinuous roaches of dry sand, furnish at Hood a quickly disappearing supply of thinned mud which will not he touch ed by man or beast except in the dis tress of thirst. One Is not surprised, therefore, that a prlmltlvo people 1 will regard these springs as sacred, lu fact, the Indians of the southwest are not peculiar in the worship of springs. The sentiment Is worldwide, lias had a vast range of time, perpetuates itself In the folklore of the highest civilizations and presents In its mnnIfostatlqnsjimost.l.uterestlng body of myth and fancy. But lu the southwest tho arid environment lias so intensified this feature ot primitive cul ture that no spring in the region Is without evidence of many offerings to the deities of water. It is small wonder then dint the Pu eblo Indians came to regard springs with special veueratlon; that they wove around them myth and tradition and made tliem objects of lvliglous worship. To one ncqualuted with tho environ ment and Its radical needs this seems to have been a natural, even though uuconsclous, generalization, Perhaps offerings to springs will not admit of such simple explanation. Perhaps the mystery of the underground source of water welling ! up from unknown depths, Impressive always even to the observer who believes himself free from the trammels of superstition, has also had a powerful effect on die mind of the Indian, lending, like many other natural phenomena, to an attitude of worship of unseen powers behind these masks. New York Tribune, POINTED PARAGRAPHS. What happy lives furmers lead in story books. Never Judge a man by tho opinion be has of himself. A dozen men may make a club, but one woman can make a home. When a man borrows trouble he puts up his peace of mind as collateral. Men and women should look during courtship and overlook after marriuco. Happiness bas a peculiar way of ap pearing and disappearing unexpect edly. It's an easy matter to sympath:::e with the poor when your pockets arc empty. Try to bo agreeable. There are too many .disagr.eeahle people In the world as it Is. It's so hard for some men to save money when single that they don't think It worth wlille trying after they marry. What a man and bis wife say to their guests and whnt they say about them ufter their departure are differ ent, quite different. Chicago News. WiHdom of the Anelenta. To the undents for wisdom! Dr. Pinches at the University collego In London brought out in a lecture some advice of general Interest given by a certain little known king of the As syrians. On one of the monuments In the British museum is the following Inscription: "Tho eggs of an owl given for three days In wine bring on a drunkard's weariness. The dried luug of sheep tqken beforehand drives away drunkenness. Tbe ashes of a swal low's beak ground up with myrrh and sprinkled In tbe wine which is drunk will make Becuro from drunkenness.

OABTOniA j BMtth fm a H" BOW ON THE SPIRE. hrllllnsr Incident In the Ufa af Jamea Freeman Clarke. When James Freeman Clarke was k young muu he visited Salisbury. England. Here tho beautiful cathe dral lifts lu spire 404 feet Into the air. The spire is topped by a ball, and on the ball stands a cross. Prom the ground tho ball looks like an orange, but Its diameter is really greater than a man's height. Workmen were repairing tho spire. Mr. Clarke saw thorn crawling round the slim steeple in the golden after noon like bugs on a bean stalk. The Impulse came to him to climb the spire and stand on the horizontal beam of the cross. Accordingly at dusk, when tho workmen had left, the young American slipped lu and made his way up the stairs to the little window which opened to the workmen's stag ing. To run up tho scaffolding to the ball was easy. Then came tho slightly more bulging curve of the ball. A short platform gavo him foothold. He reached up, put hts hands on tho base of the cross and pulled himself up. To gain the cross arm was merely "shinning" up a good sized tree, and soon he stood on tho horizontal timber aud, reaching up, touched tho top of tho cross. After enjoying his moment of exalta tion he slid to the foot of the cross, and, with his arms round tho post, 6llppetl dowu over the grent abdomen of the ball. His feet touched nothing. The little plank from which he had readied up was not there! Here was'a peril and oue for a cool head and sure eye. Of course ho could not look down. The hugging hold that he had to keep on-the bottom of the crqjs shortened the reach of his body and made it less than when he had. stood on tho plank and reached up to the cross with his hands, He must drop so that his feet should meet the plank, for ho would never bo able to pull himself back If be should let him self down at arms' length, and hie feet hung over empty air. Now his good head began to work. He looked up at the cross and tried to recall exactly the angle at which he bad reached for it, to make his mem ory tell blm just bow the edge of thnt square post hud appeared. A few bichcs to the right or to the left would mean dropping into vacancy. Rending his bead away back, he strained his eye up the cross und fig urcd his angle of approach. He can tiously wormed himself to tho right and mode up his mind that here direct ly under bis feet must be the plank. Then he dropped. The world knows that he lived to tell the tale.
