Much is being said and written at the present time in regard to the alleged overproduction of oranges, and the presentation of some facts on the other side of the question may tend to strengthen the faith of some third ones and prove that there is a market for good fruit. In the month of April D. W. C. Dimock of Orange telegraphed to K. R. Nichols & Co., a commission house in Chicago, that he and Joel Parker were going to send them one carload of oranges per week. They shipped a carload and while it was in transit Mr. Dimock received a letter from Nichols & Co., dated April 26th, from which the following extracts are taken: Choice oranges are now selling at $3.50 to $4 per box. If your car arrives in good shape, we think there will be no trouble in getting them at from $3 to $4.50 per box. The total receipt from California this season does not show up very well. This general run of customers here are not so well separated with California oranges as they are with other stock, and naturally do not buy any urgency of it. As airload after carload was sent forward, Mr. Dimock was well pleased with the returns. To show what the receipt were, we copy verbatim the result of one shipment. THE CHRISTIAN ERA. The much debated question as to the correctness of the hitherto accepted reckoning of the years which have elapsed since the birth of Jesus has again been mooted by Professor Sattler, of Munich, in the columns of a German contemporary. Professor Sattler (according to the Jeleish Chronicle) claims the distinction of having solved the problem, and of having demonstrated the fact that the current year is probably 1888, instead of 1883. He bases his proofs mainly on three coins which were struck in the reign of Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, and which date, consequently, form the first half of the first century of the current era. Madsen admits the genuineness of these coins, and other numismatic writers do the same. The evidence they offer coincides with the narrative of the Gospels and with astronomical calculations. The following are the results at which Professor Sattler has arrived: Jesus was born on the 25th of December, 749 years after the founding of Rome, and commenced his public career on the 17th of November, 780 years after the founding of Rome. He was then 30 years, 10 months and 22 days old. The date on which he commenced his career fell on the 15th year of the Emperor Tiberius, and in the 46th year after the building of Herod's Temple. This in accordance with St. Luke III, I and St John II, 20. According to Josephus ("Antiquities," XV. 11, I), the construction of Herod's Temple was commenced in the D. W. HUDSON.

A sales by E.R. Nichols & Co. Of 157 boxes oranges, received June 4, 1883. 156 boxes on track $14.25 $663.00 1 box empty KONGAT $152.96 Commission 66.30 $229.23 Net Proceeds $442.74 On June 28th, Mr. Dimock received a telegram that his last carload of oranges had arrived in good order; that the market was overstocked, but that they were selling at from $3 to $4.50 per box. The Commercial Bulletin of Chicago, in its issue of June 21st, made the following quotations of oranges: Messina and Palermo oranges rather scarce and mild steady at $7 and $8 per box. California oranges are coming in very timely. Those sold down to $1.50/ $2 per box for year, at $8.35/ $9.00 for good quality in lots, and at $8.45/ $9.00 for choice repacked in a small way. As a further illustration of the demand for really good fruit it may be said that on May 29th another Chicago commission firm who had seen the fruit or signed to Nichols & Co., telegraphed to Mr. Dimock asking the price of a carload of similar fruit. The response was that though his own fruit was nearly gone he could buy a carload at $2.50 per box. An order was immediately sent for a carload of that figure, and they were daily forwarded. Mr. Dimock firmly believes that it is impossible to overstock the market with good oranges, and the above facts show that he has good reason for the tastle that is in him. His trees are of the Mediterranean Sweet variety, were four years old in Marsh, and he has gathered from his ten acre orchard this year 1500 boxes of oranges which have netted him $2 a box. The culls he sent to San Francisco, and the superior fruit he wrapped and forwarded to Chicago as detailed above. His preference for the Mech terranean Sweet is not only because it is a heavy bearer but it repens later than other varieties and is ready for market at a time when no other variety can compete with it. The danger of infection from phylloxera is considered so great in Algeria that the following precautions are enjoined on any one visiting an infected vin-yard: Firstly, a careful cleaning of shoes, so that no particle of soil may be carried away; secondly, a vigorous brushing of all outer garments and hats thoroughly complete cleaning of all inside. Test for Wines. M. Pradines has recently published a test for wines, by which wines may be examined for their purity. He proposes with this test to answer three questions. First, is the wine natural, secondly, is it diluted, and lastly, has no product of the grape been used in its preparation? The reagent used consists of pure ammonia saturated with rectified ether, which is then filtered and kept in well stoppered flasks protected from light. To make the test, pour some water in a test tube, add with a pipette or burette about fifty drops of the wine to be tested, shake the mixture, allow five or six drops of the reagent (Diano-Pradines) to run into the mixture, and shake again. If the mixture takes a pale green coloration the wine has been diluted with water, and the amount of dilution is determined by measuring the volume at which Professor Sattler has arrived: Jesus was born on the 25th of December, 749 years after the founding of Rome, and commenced his public career on the 17th of November, 780 years after the founding of Rome. He was then 30 years, 10 months and 22 days old. The date on which he commenced his career fell on the 15th year of the Emperor Tiberius, and in the 46th year after the building of the Temple we arrive at the end of the year 780, the year during which Jesus entered on his career. If moreover, we subtract from 780 (779 years 10 months and 17 days), 30 years, 10 months and 25 days, there remain 745 years, 41 months and 25 days, which gives us the date of his birth—the 25th of December of the 749th year after the founding of Rome. Jesus died on the 7th of April, 783 of the Roman era, that is to say, on the Friday before Passover; for it has been attained by exact calculation that Passover fell that year on the 7th of April, 783; and as the latter year was a Jewish leap year, and consisted accordingly, of 13 months, his public career lasted two years and seven months. Between the 17th of November, 780, and the 9th of April, 783, three Passovers were celebrated, viz., 781, 782 and 783. Those years correspond with the 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th of the Christian era as at present calculated. Remembering how ever that the year of the birth of Jesus corresponds with the year 749 of the Roman era, and taking this year as the starting point of the Christian reckoning, the years of Jesus' career must be the 31st, 321, 331 and 34th of the new era. It thus results according to Professor Sattler, that the Christian reckoning is at fault by five years, and that we are now in 1888, and not in 1883. English Mechanic. WASHINGTON Meat Market!

No one also can enter a vineyard suspected of infection without official permission (in conformity with the law of March 21, 1858); all infected vineyards are to be inspected by order of the Mayor of each commune once a month; every wine grower is obliged to communicate to the authorities the first symptom of phylloxera among his plants. These regulations are not to be violated without fines and heavier punishments. When it is considered that from a single egg laid in the vine in April several millions of insects are produced by October, it is not to be wondered at that such stringent precautionary measures are taken. The Shaker doctrines, as now formulated, present the following points: Belief in a God who is over all. That in the Godhead are the male and female principles, Father and Mother. That created by Him, and sent forth by Him, are many spirits who will guide safely those to whom they were sent. The highest of these spirits is the Christ, first descending upon Jesus, who was the son of Mary and Joseph, and then upon Ann Lee. The direct guidance of every believer by the Christ order of spirits. The rejection of the books called the Holy Scriptures as containing all the word of God. The consequent disuse of the sacraments commanded in the Bible. The enforcement of virgin purity, abstinence from marriage, and from all that offends against chastity. A community of goods, of affection and interest. The following of the moral virtues, love, peace, justice, holiness, goodness, truth. An open confession of every known sin.

Instead of dying out, the Jewish body shows increasing vitality. They cannot be stamped out or swallowed up. They pass from country to country to become practically masters wherever they go. They get the land in Germany and Hungary, and grow rich in Russia; they are the great bankers in London and Paris and the centres of European commerce. In ten (recent) years the Rothschilds furnished £100,000,000 in loans to England, Austria, Prussia, France, Russia and Brazil. They increase faster than Christians, and of every 100,000 persons only 99 Jews die to 143 Christians. Central Presbyterian. It Must be True.

Philadelphia Record "Hair Singeing: 25 cents," is the somewhat novel sign displayed in the window of a South Broad street barber shop. The interior of the shop is decorated with half a dozen more of the signs, and two knights of the razor and a colored boy fanned themselves and waited for customers. The reporter had just made known his errand, when two youths, of the variety known as "toughs," entered, and one of them, notwithstanding the lavish display of signs, inquired if "this here's the place the felter was wot burned yer har off?" Being assured he had reached the right place the youth asked if it "hurt yer," and when the barber said it was a painless operation seated himself in one of the chairs and told the barber to "bring on yer blaze and do it up in style;" he added that he wanted a "regular summer cut, short all over." The first stop taken by the barber was to cut the youth's hair in the regular way with the scissors, and this being finished the act of singing began. Taking a long wax taper, such as are used in any household, he lighted it from a gas burner, and with a comb lifted what remained of the young man's hair into ridges, the tops of which he deftly burned off by applying the blazing taper until a halo of smoke encircled his head, and a faint color of toasted wool floated about the room and out into the sultry night.

The date on which he career fell on the 15th year Tiberius, and in the 46th building of Herod's Temple, balance with St. Luke III, 120. According to Josephus XV. 11, the construction made was commenced in the that monarch, or in the year founding of Rome, in the year. If we add the 46 years after the building of the Temple at the end of the year 780, the Jesus entered on his caver, we subtract from 780 months and 17 days, 30 years, 25 days, there remain 749 nights and 25 days, which gives us birth—the 25th of December year after the founding of died on the 7th of April, 783, that is to say, on the Friover; for it has been ascerted calculation that Passover in the 7th of April, 783, and year was a Jewish leap year, accordingly, of 13 months, last two years and seven seen the 17th of November, 9th of April, 783, three Pass celebrated, viz., 781, 782 and 783 correspond with the 27th, 30th of the Christian era as stated. Remembering how fear of the birth of Jesus correlated the year 749 of the Roman king this year as the starting christian reckoning, the years must be the 31st, 321, 331 new era. It thus results, Professor Sattler, that the Christmas at fault by five years, and in 1888, and not in 1883. Test for Wines. has recently published a test which wines may be examined.

Taking a long wax taper, such as are used in any household, he lighted it from a gas burner, and with a comb lifted what remained of the young man's hair into ridges, the tops of which he deftly burned off by applying the blazing taper until a halo of smoke encircled his head, and a faint color of toasted wool floated about the room and out into the sultry night. With great skill he had the entire top, back and sides of the youth's head completely singed, that worthy in the mean time staring at the operation as reflected in the looking-glass, and momentarily exclaiming: "Well, I'll be blowed." His companion was similarly impressed, and made constant remarks of a like nature. When the youth's head had been sufficiently toasted to suit the barber's artistic eye, the taper was put out; and the customer requested to step down to the wash basin, where his head was thoroughly washed, to clear away the "ashes" that remained at the end of each hair, and when that operation was finished the youth gazed in the glass at as beautifully clipped a cranium as ever left a barber's shop. Paying his quarter and remarking that it "wasn't such a bad racket," after all,"the young man gave a pairing glance of approval in the mirror, and with his companion departed. "This is the only place in this country where you can get a regular 'singe,'" said the barber after the youth had gone, "but it's a pretty common thing in England and Europe, and in Canada, too I believe." In conclusion, he stated that it was said to be a capital thing for the hair, and would cause it to flourish like a cornfield after a summer shower; but he added in conclusion: "It isn't any good for bald-headed men, for they haven't any hair to be braced up." Dr. Felix Oswald says that consumption is more easily cured than any other chronic disease. The population living at an elevation of 4,000 feet above the sea level have been shown to be quite free from consumption. What the Doctor calls "undigestion of respiration" is bred by humid climates and stagnant air. He believes in the theory of the German Dr Koch that parasites are a phase of the disease, but maintains that their appearance does not amount to a death sentence. "Clease to feed the lungs with azotic gases," he says, "and Dr Koch's animalcule will starve and disappear." He claims that all except the last stages of consumption can be subdued by outdoor exercise. He condemns the night air superatitions, and recommends mountain excursions even to the extent of a three months' tour under the disadvantages of insufficient clothing and protracted fasts, as certain to effect a cure in a majority of cases. He points out malnutrition of the lungs as one of the primary causes of consumption, and suggests fatty substances and sweet cream as the best lung food. A vocal effort he says does not injure the respiratory organs; on the contrary it strengthens them, and he thinks that consumers should enjoy cattle drink.

I am verging on eighty years, and deem it my duty to suffering humanity to say that my long life is due to Brandreth's Pills which have been my sole medicine for half a century. I know the last forty three years of my life are owing solely to their use. Your Pills saved me many times after the best medical skill in several States had given me up as hopeless. I have had many converts to purgation with Brandreth's Pills and have seen them perform almost miracles of cure. For children, a few doses have cured measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. In all female troubles and weakness I have never known them to fail. In adult males I have known them to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism kidney diseases, dysentery and diarrhoea; even dripy, paralysis, and appoplexy have yielded to a persistent course of Brandreth's Pills. In fact I have found them the true Life Elixir. They act as continual preventives against the effects of time, disease and labor. J. Jerolomon, Lawyer, N.Y. City.
