Go into almost liny town in the orange-growing districts ami you will see the women using the luscious fruit exactly ns our housekeepers use soap. They cut the oranges in halves and rub the flat, exposed pulp on the Door. The acid in the oranges doubtless does the cleaning, but at any rate the boards are ns white as snow after the application. It is thought that lemons would be better than oranges for this purpose, because of the additional acidity. fWMOMIMUJ,- .. ■■■■ A French scientist experimented with brilliant diamonds to ascertain at what temperature they will burn.

KILLED AT A PICNIC.

Two M«-n lx>«« Their Lives by the Kxplo•ion of a Mortar for Shooting Fireworks Bouibs at Chicago. Cm a; a go, July 17. —By the explosion of a 7-inch mortar, loaded with a heavy charge z of powder and a fireworks shell, »vo rnen were instantly killed, two fatally injured and two more slightly injured Sunday night. Richard Marshall’s head was tern off and Michael Snow was instantly killed, his body being badly tern and lacerated. The accident took place at Sixty-ninth and Wood streets at a picnic given under the auspices of the Society del , Carmine, an i Italian organization belonging to i Father Machin’s church, Sixty-ninth I and State streets. The immediate cause of the explosion is not known. Marshall was standing 100 feet from the bomb rocking his babe in a carriage. A piece of iron weighing about thirty-five pounds completely severed his head from his shoulders. The babe was not injured.

CAN’T COME BACK.

Chinese Authorities Refuse to Allow Chinese Who Have Been Here Once to Return to the United States. Washington, July 17.—A letter received at the state department from Mr. Derby, the United States minister to China, was accompanied by a proclamation issued by the Chinese authorir ties in which it was stated that 100,000 Chinese who had returned to China from the United States within the past year would be prevented by the law from again entering this country. An investigation by the treasury department has developed that since 1888 less than 81,000 Chinese have returned to their native country and the exaggeration of the proclamation is still more apparent when taken in consideration with the well-known fact that only a small proportion of Chinese leave this country with the intention of returning. Undek the influence of increasing foreign immigration, Philadelphia is losing its right to the title of the City of Homes. In 1890 there were living in that city 55,600 persons huddled together, sixteen to a dwelling. There were found to be 10,000 families living in tenements. As p. result of this exhibit, there is a clamor in Pbiladelpfliia for a rigid enforcement of existing health laws requiring owners of tenements to place them in sanitary condition. A new ordinance is also demanded as a result of the exhibit which shall require a certain oubic air space for each occupant of a tenement house.

The verdict was unanimous, said Mr. Burke One menher failed at first to see how Marshal Murphy was implicated, but he soon changed his views. Murphy knew the construction of the tower and it was his business to call the firemen down, knowing the danger tiey were in. D. 11. Bumham was included as the representative of the fair. The fair should have seen that the recommendations in regard to the tower were carried out. Chief bwenie notified them of the danger and they w ere responsible to a certain extent. The cold-storage people were held because they deserve the most of the blame in not taking proper precaution against fire when putting up the building, and again when notified by the proper authorities after two previous fires in the building of changes positively necessary to insure safety of life.

WON’T RESIGN.

Judge Jenkins to Continue ia Active Court Work During the Trial of the Indicted Plankinton Bank Officers and .Directors. Milwaukee, July 19.—Judge Jenkins will not resign from the bench of the United States circuit court in consequence of his indictment by the grand jury as a director of the Plankinton bank; nor will he remain off the bench pending the outcome of his trial. This decision has been arrived at by the judge since a conferqlfce in Chicago last Friday with Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States supreme court, and his confreres in this circuit. He was assured by them that they were satisfied with the purity of his motives in connection with the bank, and they insisted that he should maintain his fullest and most active relations with the court. Chief Justice Fuller was most emphatic in his opinion as to Judge Jenkins’ duty and insisted upon his sitting in court as if nothing had happened. By way of assurance as to his faith in the judge’s honor and integrity the chief justice promised Judge Jenkins .that he would see to it personally that President Cleveland became acquainted at the earliest possible date with the former’s case in all its phases, and he assured the judge that the president would sustain the stand taken by Justice Fuller and the circuit court judges.

Topeka, Kan., July 18.—State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal was on Monday notified of the suspension of six state and private banks in Kansas, all due to the suspension of Kansas City banks in which they had deposits.

Kansas City, Mo., July 18.—The Missouri national bank, which was looked upon as one. of the stoutest houses in ths west, closed its doors at noon.

Denver, Col., July 18.—The first bank failure in Denver since 1874 occurred Monday morning when the People’s savings, the Colorado savings and the Rocky Mountain dime and dollar savings banks closed their aoors.

The assets of the Rocky Mountain dime and dollar savings bank are 8156,803.53; liabilities, $105,654.32. It is understood that all the assignments were preconcerted and the step was taken for self-protection and for the protection of the depositors.

The president of each bank declares that every depositor will be paid in full and that the institutions will resume.

One of these sharics. the larger cam. has a. ftc-fistamt cxNapaaion that causes a good deal of comment and guessing among visitors. It is a slender fish about eight inches long that has attached itself, apparently by its trath, to the smooth skin of toe shark's baek. It sticks closer than a brother or a leech. Some of the visitors think it is a young shark. The guard will tell you that it is a pilot fish, bet shows that there are some things which even a Columbian guard does not know. The fish is what the Carolina fishermen call a sucker fish, a remora. If you ask Prof. Forbes of the fish commission ho will tell you that it is the ectjeceis nauerates of linne. That is a pretty imposing name forw> little a fish, but the creature itself is one of the most interesting of swimming thingK The remora has set in the top of its flat head an oral sucker plate, whereby it has an easy time. The remora attaches itself by this sucker plate to the first big fish that comes along and rides around just as lazily as a fat woman in a roller ehair. Whatever the big fish gets to eat the remora has also its share; it catches the crambe and leavings. There is no fish that has more fun and an easier time than thia remora. Some of the West Indians make this parasite work for a living though. They use him for an animated fishhook. They tie a string to his and let him into the water to swim around until he falls afoul of a turtle. Then when he has laid firm hold of the turtle the wise , West Indian bags the wholeoutfit and sets his remora for another turtle.

POETICAL DREAMS SHATTERED.

Influence of a Gondola Ride Through th* togeons of the Fair. The music came softly, sweetly out to the old man and his daughter as they sat, half reclining, on the luxurious cushions of the gondola, gayly decorated with Japanese lanterns. The myriad of gay lights from the cornices, from the roofs, from the water's edge reflected in silver and gold the ripples of the lagoon. High up along the balcony they could see the flaming torches, flickering with Roman reminiscence, and the white, ghastly faces and dark forms of the people looking down on the beautiful scene, while all around the lagoon, sitting upon the wide rail of the fence, leaning against the statuary, or moving about with eager, restless tread, they could see the thousands of sightseers. In the distance they saw the shimmering, multi-colored waters and heard the gurgling murmur of the fountains. The stoical gondoliers dextronsly swung the gondola here and there among the gay craft, laden to the water’s edge with merry parties of lagoon tourists. Once, in a pause of the orchestral music there came to them the twang of a banjo, then a happy French song came rippling across the dancing wavesFor a long time they were silent, says the Chicago- Tribune. Then she clasped her fingers, sparkling with diamonds, across the old man’s knee, and said; “Papa, I am so happy, I feel so dreamy, so poetical, something Byron or Browning like. Ah, the Bridge of Sighs and Byron. 0, I could love Byron to-night and Venice, too. Papa, Browning is buried there.” Possibly the old man thought Browning was one of her old dude lovers; they all looked consumptive; probably he had croaked in Venice. The old man sympathetically sighed. “If Byron and Browning coold have lived to see this, papa, what poetry we would have from them. They never saw anything to equal this.”' “Well, 1 guess there air few towns could beat this show,” the old man complacently remarked “How dreamily poetical Howells makes Venetian life,” she mused; “it must be something like this. How I should like to live in Venice always.” “Do you mean to say you’d rather live in that perennial flood town, Venice, than Chicago?” he sharply interro?ated. “Papa, my life would be a happy iream in Venice.” “Now, look-a-here, Maria,” he savagely said, “I won’t have that bowlegged dude fellow of yours prowling ’round the house any longer. He puts you up to all this moonshine business, and 1 won’t stand any more of this comic opera gondolier business, d’y’ hear? I ain’t going to be paddled 'round in. a canoe by a pair of opera bouffe scullers. We’ll land and take an electric or steam launch, something that can get a move on.” | Ho prodded the nearest gondolier with his umbrella and ordered an im» i mediate disembarkation.
