According to the Picayune t lie Penii eylvania Railroad company is being sued in Cleveland, Oliio, for $118,000 Worth of legs and arms that her ears have cut off. A writer in the New York Sun says that the time is coming when no cot ton will be manufactured in England. It will bo manufactured in the 1' idled States close to the cotton fields. The united debt of the Australian colonics that arc preparing to forin a federation is nearly as great as the present national debt of the United States, although the population is scarcely one-twentieth of our own. The Mexican newspaper, La Patria, published at the City of Mexico, says that tho United 8tHes government should return to Mexico the trophies captured by United States troops in the Mexican war, and which are now at the AVest Point Military Academy, thus showing its magnanimity. Gold while in circulation is handled less than any oilier medium. It is usually kept in vaults of banks for demand rarely made, and for this rea son the loss by abrasion is but one half of one per cent, in twenty years. In a $20 gold piece, the standard weight of which is ;"16 grains, the government allowance for loss by ab lation is 2.58 grains. The New York Sun soliloquizes: A thousand passengers for Lurope. At $1000, only, apiece, is one million American dollars sent by a single day's steamships to keep the Old World's axles greased. And the same QJd World folks cackle like a pullet over her first egg when they invest one million dollars in American enter prises. Why, America spends more than that on them every week ot the year. The Lick telescope is the most pow erful glass i" the world. It is report ed the obs v s at Mount Hamilton have lately ept a sharp eye turned upon the shadow of one of the moons of the planet Jupiier. This shadow seemed double, indicating that the tiny moon which cast it is also double. Since tha first hint of the discovery many observations have been made through the Lick glass, all tending to confirm the original impression, lo wit: That this particular satellite of the greatest of the planets is double a dot of a moon revolving around the main moon. The young German Kaiser has taken to reforming the German lan guage, so that those words derived through Latin-French sources shall be expunged. "Captain," "strategic'' and "attacke" give way respectively to "liauplmann," "kreigsfuhrung' and "sturm " "Avanciren" becomes voigehoii." The changes, comments the Chicago News, are patriotic, no doubt. But a battle might be lost "While commands were being given in . the now patent reform language.

ORANGE CULTURE A Great and Growing Industry in Southern California. Hundreds of Orange Groves Paying Handsomely. The average crop of 1889 amounted to about 2200 carloads, each car con taining 300 boxes, which means that Southern California sent east 500,000 boxes, or an orange and a half for every man and woman in the United States. The oranges that are being picked now and shipped will fill easily 3000 ordinary cars. They are marketed in the East at a time when the Florida crop is over, and have to compete with foreign oranges only, such as tho Yalcncias and Sicilian fruit, upon which a heavier duty has been placed to afford tho California supply a fair opportunity. A glance at the hundreds of orange groves in Southern California at the present picking will hardly tend to convince the novice that fifteen years ago there were very few bearing trees outside of the old missions in the country; yet this is a fact. The orange groves of Pasadena, Riverside and other localities are the result of the last fifteen years' work and the actual returns tell that it has paid. Many of those who first cainc to California ex pecting to make a fortuuo in oranges failed, but the possessors of theso fine groves today are the envied ones of the community. The first oranges in Southern Cali fornia wero planted by the old mission fathers, who undoubtedly brought the seed from Spain, whereto it originally was carried from western Arabia by wandering tribes. The orange is a remarkable treo. It flourishes in what is apparently the poorest soil, is always green, ripe fruit will hang upon its limbs for a year, and it is always in fruit or blossom. The tree will bear when 150 or 200 years old, while at Versailles there is a tree known to be over 400 years old, and older still is a famous tree at Nice, that is fifty feet high and still bears 6000 oranges a year. Its exact ago is unknown. The orange craze, as it has been called is the most alluring. The prospect upon the outside is of sitting down and waiting for the agent to come around yearly and buy the crop; yet const ant work and attention are necessary. The orange grove requires to be irrigated, ploughed and weeded throughout the year, and so far it is a bagatelle. The chief trouble lies in the various parasites. Two years ago many of the groves of Southern California wero almost ruined by the white 6cale. Orange men were in despair, and orchards worth thousands of dollars were literally given up to the destroyer and looked as though flecked with snow. Tho Government sent a commissioner to Australia wflb discovered a ladybug that proved au enemy to the white scale, the trees arc again in fine But other insect pcsls, tho rod and black scale, have to be fought, so that the life of the orange grower is not at all smooth sailing. The success of last year and the ap pearance of tho grass of tho present season have croatcd an unusual de mand for orango lan I, and thousands of trees have been set out during tho past year that will in from four to six years be adding to the productive vatue of the country. The visitor to I California is amazed at the price of . land where the orange grows, but his astonishment wears away as the sum received for the luscious fruit arc ahown. The eron of Uiversidn mr i j be taken as an instance. Every year nearly $1,000,000 is paid to tho orange men alone for their crops. The figures for 1889 were' Ciirus fruits (oranges), 8630,000; deciduous fruits (dried), $80,000; raisins, $375,000. No won der land in this vicinity is held high and offered to Eastern farmers, unimproved, at from $300 to $500 au acre. The prices appear cxlravagant, but it has been demonstrated at River sido that laud will pay for itself in about five yoars, and fn six pay 10 per cent, on n valuation of $1000 to $5000 an acre, and in ten years 10 per cent, on a valuation of $10,000 an acre. These are the figures that have fired men's souls, and that are now result ing in the planting of new trees all over Southern California. What especially encourages tho grower hore, is the fact that in the last ten years the consumption of oranges has increased 500 per cent, in this country, and is on tho increase. Net only this, hut rival and new roads have opened up a market for Califor nia fruit which it has not had in for mer years. New York Sun.

A meek-eyed, mild-spoken man drop ped around to the hotel in St. Louis one evening last fall, and as fast as he came to any one whom he sized up as "safe" he said: , "It is a case of charity a noble and today ! charity but we are opposed to any condition ' tmnK e a subscription.

They Bhook hands, "put up" in good shape, and the know ing ones predicted a hot time.

He has evidently died of heart failure, and under the adverse circumstances the fight cannot go on. I'll have to send for the police. " Of course everybody made a hustle to get away, only too anxious to escape arrest and detention, and the barn was emptied in thirty seconds. Next day, as I was going down the river on a steamboat, I heard two men in the stateroom next to mine disputing. "Well, make it an even divide," said one. - "Of oourse. its even," replied the other, "Bill worked in the orowd, you played dead on 'em, and I had the rig there to get as off.
