Possibly tho orango was tho "apple of discord" nwurded by Paris to Venus, and perhaps, too, tho golden talismans with which t ho (loddcss of Iivo armed Milanlon, that hu might win the raro from Atalanta, weru also plucked from tho splendid and prolific Indian true. This, however, Is mere speculation, but there remains a siruTcIency of romance, historically estab lished, Hiirrouuillng tho orange ami lemon to give them tho foremost placu among tho fruits known to mankind. Hotli aro na tives of India, and from that nistlc anil ancient laud their cultivation has spread to other climes, always tinder novol and Interesting conditions. The lemon was 11 fiivorito with tho Arab In tho days of their power and glory, and by them, as their empire spread, it was In troduced into various parts of Asia and Africa. In tho latter part of tho Twelfth century Itlclmril tho Lion Hearted, of Eng land, with Philip of France, headed tho third crusade for tho rescue of the Holy IjUihI from the dominance of the Saracen. At the siege of Aero 11 wounded knight In tlio English monarch's train called for water, but uoiiu was to bo had. A native pressed to his lips n "htr.iyngo frutte," whoso cooling juices eased his thirst. The knight recovered, ami returning homo from that losing but glorious eimpnign carried with him tlio seeds of a lemon. Stopping en routo at Naples ho gave them NKLI. OWYNNE. to nu Italian friend, who planted them on his estate. They grew and flourished, and from thenceforward western civilization know tho virtues and the value of tho acid fruit. Meanwhile tho orange was traveling toward Europo by another route. As in the case of the lemon its spread was duo to the Arabs. They covered Syria ami Persia with dark green groves, and as tho seem Ingly Irresistible wave of their martial progress advanced toward the pillars of Hercules scattered the seeds of the yellow fruit on the fair and fertile plains of Italy, Sicily and Spain. They called It "narang," and they cultivated rt moro for its beauty than for its qualities as a table delicacy, for the juice and pulp had n bitter taste. The sweet orango was brought to Europo from southern China by tho Portuguese In IW8, and was know 11 as apfclsluu, or tho apple of China. So in tho Middle Ages tho lemon and orange spread the fragrance of their flow era throughout tlio civilized world. They bloomed In fair Florence, where Loreno the Magnlflccnt ruled and Hoccaccio wrote his wondrous tales, and through their leaves the scented breezes sought the gar dens and fountains of the famed A 11mm bra. Then across strange seas, In enro of tho hardy mariners of Spain and Portugal, thoyenmo to the New World discovered by Columbus, and lu Florida and the wiii:.tiii:i) rou unit w kiidi.no. Hrazlls as well as the Cuban Isle got fresh foothold and throe as vigorously as In their far oil" Indian home. Everywhere they became the fashion as the jears went by. In tho dajs of his power and suprem acy Cardinal Wolhey used an orango as a pomander Throngs ought tho powerful priest at his palace of Whitehall to secure hU favor or apiieaso his wrath, and ho, so tho old clironlclo runs, would enter the crowded audience chamber "holding In his hand n very fair orange, wheieof the meat or Hubbbiuri' within was taken out and If ZMJk ofcialamsIiiaM, tilled up again wiin the part or 11 sponge, 'a heroin was vinegar and other confec tions tigalnsttlio peotlletit airs; the which ho most commonly smelt tint t passing among the press, or else ho was pestered with many suitors."

At a later date the orange llgures In n romance of English history equally scan dalous, but less traglo. The Resloratlon had brought the loose living Charles II to his own, and among those who welcomed his return to London was a pretty girl of 10 who sold oranges at the t heal res. Sho was poor, obscure, unknown; he was tho ruler of 11 realm, jet seven ) ears afterward the two were on terms of lutlmacv. and whoever wanted a favor from "Old How ley," ns the monarch was railed, had to secure the support of Mine Nelly Uwjnno. In those seven j ears she had passed from tho pit to the footlights ami charmed the town with her uctlng. Tin the king sent for Nelly," and her hlstrlnnle tri umphs were nt an end. It is of her earl.y struggles lorn livelihood that Lord Roch ester sang: Hut first tlio bosket her fnlr arm did suit, IjiiIoii Midi pippins nlid IIe9ierlAii fruit; Tills first step raised, to U10 wntulrrliu: U si m sold The. lovely fruit, smlllne with cent of gold. Tho orango girl did not nbiiso the powni obtained by her doubtful elevation. Shu was 11 popular favorite of whom a poet of the tlmo wrote: All lieilrts fall a leaping wherever slin comes, And Is'iit night and dny llkn my I,onl t'rnvi en's iiriimu. Toiler is duo the founding of the great Greenwich hospital, and from her descends the ducal house of St, Albans, Rather more than a century ago somo curious mid close observer of Loudon ex istence published a pamphlet, entitled, "!"

A pas. sage which has to do with the subject un der consideration rends; The ies of genteel meeliniilos, under prctenso of going to pmjers la their iiMirlment, take 11 imp and a drain, after lilch they then- lemmi eel tu piuieui ociug miicic Aseveiyono knows tlio orango (lower wreath, cf charming frngrance ami pure whltonesi, Ij an essential lu the costum ing of the brldo whose wealth iilul social position demand tho display of a ptibllu wedding, but the fact may have been less obseru'd that all thu lauds where the orange anil the lemon grow aro lauds of romance mid adventure.

Aloysla Kirschner, or Schubln, nude, which pseudonym sho is known tlio world over, Isttiu best of living Austrian female authors. Sho is still young, but of a serl 011s disposition. She has seen much of the world. Her writings, too, show great pen etration and profound study of the human mind. Although original in her concep tions, she has adopted tho stylo and man ners of Tiirgenleff and the modern French sclool. Her clearly cut features denote at once force and delicacy, and her whole ap pearance l most attractive. Philippine Welser was not only a woman of intellect, but she also devoted ker self to tho noblest task ot a wife-to bo a good mother and n good housekeeper. She even wrote 11 hook about cooking, "Do re coqulnarlii," which still exists It is hard to tell whether Austrian ladles now are as experienced In the kitchen ns they nro In tho drawing 100m.
