A New Orange and Lemon Peeler.

A remarkably ingenious and simple orange- and lemon peeler is now being introduced by which it is claimed that 1,000 oranges may be peeled without soiling Anger or glove or losing a drop of juice. The peeler is a piece of wire, nickel-plated, and very much in the shape of a button-hook, but with a tiny blade let into the inner bend of the hook. When the point of the hook is drawn into the fruit it slides between the pulp and the peel without danger of entering either, while the blade divides the peel easily and rapidly, after which it way be removed without trouble.
