This is especially true as regards -England, whose former . prefer- ence for Mediterranean oranges is being rapidly supplanted by the more perfect seedless California varlety now produced by the Caifornia Fruit Growers’ Exchange, The. transition in the tastes of our Brite ish friends has been gradual, but. it s definite, and they are finding partioular satisfaction in the new crop of “Sunist’ oranges, which indicates that they have reached a final. conclusion ‘as to the fa- vorable conditions prevailing in the 5,000 orchards of the California Exchange. The tendency in this direction was realized some time ago and a London branch of- flco was opened to facilitate the dfstri- ution of “Sunkist” oranges. The First Cookbook. To the Romans belong the honor of having produeed the first European cookery book, and, though the author- ship is uncertain, it Is generally attrib- uted to Caelius Apicus, who lived un- der Trajan, 114 A. D. Here are two recipes from this ancient collection: “First, for a sauce to be eaten with boiled fowl, put the following ingredi- ents into a mortar: Aniseed, dried mint and lazer root. Cover them with vine- gar, add dates and pour in liquamen (a distilled liquor made from large fish which were salted and allowed to turn putrid In the sun), ofl and a small quantity of mustard seeds. Reduce all to a proper thickness with sweet wine warmed, and then pour this same over your chicken, wliich should previously be boiled in aniseed water.” The-second recipe shows the same queer mixture of ingredients: “Take a wheelbarrow of rose leaves and pound in a mortar; add to it brains of two pigs and two thrushes boiled and mixed with the chopped up yoke of egg, ofl, vinegar, pepper and wine. Mix and pour these together and ‘stew them steadily and slowly till the per- fume s developed.”—Chambers’ Jour- nal. $ Which Foot Walks Faster? You may think this a very silly ques- tion to ask,-but it isn’t. It is a simple, demonstrable fact, which you can prove to.your own satisfaction in a very few minutes. If you will take a pavement that is clear, so that. there will be no interference, and walk brisk- ly in the center, you will find that be: fore you have gone fifty yards you have veered very much to one side. You must not make any effort, of course, to keep in the center, but if you will think of something and endeavor E Followed. 8uit. o On' the day of -the admission of M. Rostand to the French academy the author of “Cyrano” and “L’Aiglon” gave a breakfast to a few of his friends, the guest of honor belng Mme. Bernhardt. The actress was dressed in a handsome gown, which had been | made expressly for the occasion. At the end of the breakfast she arose and in an impressive manner took a glass, held it high and said, “I drink to the greatest of French dramatists, M. Ro- stand, and I drink after the Greek manner!” She then poured the con- tents of her glass over her head and gown. Two of Rostand’s small sons- were sitting at a side table wearing new velvet sults, also made for the.occa- slon. ‘In the silence which followed Bernhard’s dramatic tribute the elder of the boys arose-and, imitating her manner, said, “I drink to the greatest of poets, my papa, and I also drink in the Greek fashion!” and stralghtway deluged himself and his small brother with the contents of his glass. A Sceno Not In a Pla; An extraordinary scene took place in the Princess’ theater, London, on the night of the first production of Charles Reade’s great play, “Never Too Late to Mend,” Oct. 4, 1865. During the prison scene a large quantity of water was thrown over Miss Moore, who took the part of Josephs, the character done to death by the warders. One of the critics, Mr. Tomlin of the Morning Ad- vertiser, rose from his seat and -pub- licly protested against the unnecessary cruelty. This aroused almost a riot among the audience, and the action of the play was stopped for some con- siderable time. ¥uel was added to the fire by George Vining, the lessee of the theater, who was playing the part of Tom Robinson and who made a most imprudent speech, in which he prac- tically insulted every eritic present, | with the result that the theater was left severely alone by the press for many months. The play, howéver, turned out to be a popular success and had, for those days, the phenom- enal run of 140 performances. Asked Too Much. _ In R. F. Johnson’s book, “From Pe: * the author teils the story of a poor Chinese scholar noted for his piety, who heard the voice of | an Invisible being who spoke to him thus: “Your piety has found favor in the ‘sight of heaven. = Ask now for what you most long to possess, for 1 am- the mossenger of the gods, and they have sworn to grant your heart’s desire.” “I ask,” said the poor scholar, “for fhe coarsest clothes and food, just enough for my daily wants, and I beg that I may have freedom to wander at my will over mountain. and fell and'! ‘woodland stream, free from all world- 1y cares, till my 1if¥s’'end. That is all I ask.” Hardly had he spoken than the sky seemed to be filled with the laughter of myriads of -wunearthly volces. “All you ask,” cried the mes senger of the gods. “Know you not that what you demanded Is the high- est happiness of the beings that dwell In heaven? Ask for wealth or rank or what earthly happiness you will, but not for you are the holiest joys-of the gods. 3 The Ungrateful Cuckoo. ¥ To hear the cuckoo’s cheery note you might think he had the clearest con- science in the world. He can have nei- ther memory nor moral ‘sense or he would not carry it off so gayly. We say nothing of the “raptores,” who are- a race apart, but the most disreputable of birds, as a rule, are gullty of noth- ing worse than peccadillos. The jack- daw will steal for the mere fun of the thing, for he can anake no possible use of plate or jewelry, and sometimes un- der temptation may make a snatch at ® pheasant- chick. Sparrows are, of rourse, notorious thieves, but they rank no higher in' crime than the sneaking plckpockets, - But the cuckoo, so to speak, {8 a murderer from his cradle. He violates the sanctity of a hospitable hearth. ‘His first victims are his own foster brothers, and before he tries his to walk naturally you cannot keep a direct line. The explanation of this lies in the propensity of one foot to walk faster than the other, or one leg takesa longer stride than the other, causing one to walk to one side. You can try an experiment in this way by placing two sticks about eight feet apart, then stand off about sixty feet, blindfold yourself and endeavor to walk between them. You will find it almost impos- sible. . Why Not Be an Egotist? There is much mistaken sentiment as to the sin of egotism. The fact is ego- tism 18 not a sin. On the other hand, 1t 1s somewhat of a virtue and an in- dispensable element in all real prog- ress. - Some phases of egotism are un- pleasant to the beholder and unfor- tunate for the possessor, but if all of self love, or, rather, the love of other people’s admiration and good will, were to be extinguished there would be little to hold soclety together and less to glve impetus to the great enterprises ‘which spring from individual thought and culminate in personal profit.—Les- lie's Weekly. ‘The Retort Courteous. A lady passing through the negro quarter in Mobile, Ala., heard an old ‘woman chanting a dirgelike tune. “Auntle” she observed, “that is a mournful gong you are singing.” “Yassum,” was the response, “I knows 1t’s mo’nful, but by singin’ dat song an’ ’tendin’ to my own business 1 spects to git to heaben.” Expected Some Cussing.
