Tne stock market to-day continued narrow and dull for the general list, while a few stocks monopolized all interest. The general tone of the market was strong and even buoyant until the issue of the bunk statement, wuich, w ith its un-xpeeted loss of over $1,000,000 in the surplus reserve, induced the hears to try their hand once again at an attack up -n the market. Tne heavy loss lu the reserve is attributed in part toe rnplica’lons arising from th“ recent failures of three hanks, thou ,'h the effects of these troubles have ail developed by this time and passe 1 away as adverse influences upon the | course of prices, .dears who have been roughly | handled of late ill Louisville and Nashville, ; heading and L.c u.wanna, were not so aggres sive, and the losses occasioned by the dem n sl ration were small in every case but one. Lackawanna, It c< Island, Missouri Pacific Richmond and West Point, and Sugar Refineries were strong points, though the final raid car ried as ay most of the gams in all except the last named stock, in which, as well as Lea l.the talk was quite bullish, though Lead failed to respond. The events of the past two or three days have turned a number of ojierators on the street from the hear to the bull side of coal stocks and rumors of the coming settlement of matters important to the trade are circulated. The markei closed rather heavy on the raid, and at small fractions below last night's closing figures as a rule. Sugar, however, was up 14 per cent., but Sew Jersey Central was down !% uer cent.

From the Ladies' Home Journal. Until the last few years since oranges have become popularized, it was a matter of no little difficulty and concern to those who desired to eat gracefully to hit upon the best way to eat an orange. The thick, easily broken skin of the Spanfch and Ital ian orange - admitted of but litUe variation of method. The skm was carefully removed and the fruit separated in its natural sec tions, and eaten piece by piece. With the thin tough peel and tender interior skin of the Florida orange this was a matter of greater difficulty. Fastidious people ob jected to the style which is the delight of childhood, viz., punching a hole in the orange with the forefinger and extracting the juice by pressuie and suction, aud soon the fashion was set of dividing the orange in halves at the equator, if the expression may be permitted, and digging out the pulp with a teaspoon. Some genius im proved upon this by cutting off only a small slice of the top of the orange, at about the arctic circle, so to speak, then with a sharp knife cutting out the c re, a second circular cut just in side the skin set-aretes the pulp, and if tha operation is dextrously performed the fruit can be eaten with a spoon without spilling n drop of the juice, a recommendation which has made it more popular than any other method. The native Sicilian who doe3 not care if he and os get a little of the juice smeared upon his countenance, takes his long, sharp knife—every Sicilian carries a long, sharp knife for family purposes, as he generally has a vendetta or two on hand— and cuts the orange spirally around so that it becomes a long strip of peel and pulp. He graps this s rip at either end and draws it rapidly across his mouth, absorbing tha juice as it passes. It is not pretty, but it is remarkably effective. A modification of this style is practiced in the United States, and used to be known as “New Orleans fashion." It consists in dividing the orauge diagonally into four sections, cutting across the core. It is not, however, considered good form by orange experts. An ther fashion of eating an orange— w hich is considerable trouble and has but little to recommend it on the score of ele gance—is to cut just through the skin at the equator, and, by carefully turning the peel back, form a cup of the skin at each pole of the orange. The pulp is then bitten off around and around, as a schoolboy eats au appie. While this style keeps the hands comparatively clean, it smears the face most u pleasantly. The same objection may be urged against the fashion of pee''Ug the orange on a fork and holding it in *hat way while eating it. Some people thrust a fork into the core of an orange, peel the fruit, and then slice it as one would an apple, losing thereby a large quantity of the juice. At a dinner table, If the orange ki.ives are very sharp—a cir cumstance which rarely happens, by the way—this is perhaps as good a way as any. It is simple and makes no fuss, and there is an air of refinement about touching the fruit only with the knife and fork, if it he gracefully done, which recommer ’= w to many people. Butter from Cocoanut Milk. Calcutta Dispatch to the London Times. Vi ithin the last few months anew trade has arisen in India aud has attained extraor dinary dimensions. About two yeirs ago* German chemist, Dr. fcichlunk, discovered that excellent butter could be made from cocoanut milk. It is, according to a Bom bay newspaper, pleasant to taste and smell, of a clear, whitish color, singularly free from acids, easily digestible, ani an incom parably healthier and better article of diet than tlio cheap poor butters and oleomar garines of European markets. The manu facture is carried on in Germany, where one firm tarns out from 3,000 to 4,0 *0 kilo grammes daily. The c coanuts required ai e imported from India, chiefly Bombay, iu large and increasing numbers, and the trade seems likely to attain still greater importance.
