FRUIT SALES.
Results of Yesterdays Auction Sales of
California FRUITS.

CHICAGO, July 13th-The prices realized
at the auction sales to-day of California
fruit were as follows: Two hundred and
sixty-three boxes Crawford's Early peaches,
81 60 to 81 10; 441 boxes of Purple Duane
plums, 81 20 to 81 so; 54 boxes of Magnum
Bonnum plums, 81 rs; 80 crates of Ger
man prunes, 81 so to 81 S5 S2S boxes
Bartlett pears, 81 20 at 81 80.
The principal feature of to-day's market
is the decline in the price of Bartlett pears,
caused chiefly by the delayed sales OF
yesterday, which afforded shippers no op-
portunity to ship to outside towns. The
large arrivals -four cars) of this line of
fruit being more than the local markets
could well absorb. The prices for other
fruits is fully up to expectations.

a NEW ENTERPRISE.
Proposed Importation of California Wines
into Mexican Cities.

Ell PAso (Tex.), July l3th.-Parties in
Ell Paso Intimately acquainted with the
Mexican wine trade are on the point of in
augurating a new enterprise that presents
every prospect of success. There is getting
to be an active demand for California clar-
cts along the line of country traversed by
the Mexican Central and branches. French
claret has heretofore been extensively
patronized, but is fast falling into disfavor,
owing to nearly all being heavily adulter-
ated.
The proposition is to transport claret in
bulk direct from the California vineyards
in tank cars to the principal Mexican mar
kets, and let them go there through the
final fermenting and refining process.

Packing Butter.

The following is given by one of the
most successful butter factories in this
State as the best mode of preparing the
packages for packing summer butter
When packing in spruce barrels, first scald
the barrels thoroughly with strong brine
of salt and soda, letting the brine remain
in the barrels twenty-four hours. Then
empty, and scald again with hot water, to
take out the soda The barrel is then
ready for the butter, which should be
worked clear of milk and water.

Floquet Twists His Sword In Geners
Boulanger's Throat

bOui3nSerb InrOat.
PARIS. July 13th.-Boulanger and Flo
quet fought duel at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Boulanger was seriously wounded,
receiving sword thrust in the throat
Floquet's injuries are slight-in the hand
and left breast.
The flow of blood from Boulangers
wound was heavy, and fatal result is
feared.
The duel lasted only four minutes. Bou-
LANCER, excited and nervous, made several
passes at Floquet, who did not seem expert.
Finally Boulanger made desperate lunge
at Floquet, who thrust his sword out and
held il so. At the same instant Boulanger
was run through the neck. He staggered,
clapped his hands to the wound and fell
unconscious in the arms of his seconds.
The wound was bandaged and the General
immediately carried away.
INCIDENTS OF THE DUEL.
PARIS, July l3th.-Members of the Min
istry awaited the result of the duel at the
residence of Floquet, when he received a
perfect ovation.
Only small crowd was awaiting the
return of Boulanger.
Eye-witnesses at the duel say Boulanger
fought desperately and displayed much
feeling. He tried very hard to kill his an
tagonist and threw himself again and
again upon Floquet, making desperate
lunges with his sword at every onslaught.
Both duellists refused to stop at the re-
quest of the seconds when Floguet's hand
was cut.
Another account says Boulanger and
Floquet were both greatly excited, the latter
white as sheet during the fighting.
Boulanger forced the fighting.
Floquet was very awkward, reason for
surprise, considering the impetuous attack,
that he was not killed.
VERY BAD THIS MORNING.

gasps for air causes the physicians frequent
alarms. Suffocation is feared.

William Starts on His Journey.
Home Decorations.

An odd idea that has taken hold, espe-
cially in country houses, is to decorate a
series of rooms representing certain coun-
tries or periods in history Descriptions
come to us of a charming house in the
south of France, whose owner has fitted up
series of apartments, opening one into
the other, describing veritable series OF
pictures scenes in South American for
ests and historical apartments in the days
of Mesdames Recamier and De Staei, and
one Imagination is even bold enough to
carry out in supposed details the sumptu-
Gus boudoir Cleopatra might have occu-
pied. The majority of ladies, by the way,
take an especial pride in their boudoirs
no matter how spacious their houses may
be this is one spot they claim as their
every own" and highly favored is the
friend who is admitted into the cosy sane
tum. Boudoir is purely French creation.
Littre tells US that the word "boudoir'
means to "to sulk." Boudoirs were not in
existence until the eighteenth century,
and the word was coined at the same time.
Sulking-rooms or not, boudoirs are usually
very cheerful and comfortable. A couch
for the boudoir may be wide, low couch
OF wicker-work, upon which is laid thick
mattress, over which is thrown Turkish
covering, rich, dark, strongly blended col
ors, falling to the floor. Three square pill
ows should then be procured of size that
when placed together the three extend the
length Of the couch; cover these with
French cretonne of harmonious colors; tie
them together with ribbon loops and lean
them up against the wall, alongside of the
couch. A charming dressing table, also
for the boudoir, is medium-hight table
festooned with pale-blue satin over which
falls sheet of white net. An oval mirror
framed in pulled satine is suspended over
the table. And to be thoroughly au fait,
what is known as a o'clock tea-stand
should be in the boudoir furniture. All
women love cup of fragrant Oolong, and
it certainly imparts wonderful zest to con-
fidential chats. The newest design for a
tea-stand is slender upright bar of
wrought iron, it curves over the top, and
there hangs suspended a small copper tea
kettle, beneath which in the same metal
is a tiny alcohol lamp July Table Talk.

CULTIVATION.

By experiment | have found that the
plantain will live-if in proper soil
without injury to the roots, at a tempera-
ture as low as Ice Farenheit, the stalk
will stand temperature of 250 without
injury, and the leaves are not wilted until
the air is chilled to 800 This is with the
thermometer placed near the plants, or at
an elevation of five feet from the ground.
As this plant is n native OF the hot tropics.
where there is an immense rainfall, it is
necessary here to produce like conditions;
a soil must be created with conditions sim
liar. This can be easily done. My method
has been to supply The richest food for
this gigantic plant and force 1t to its ex-
treme growth. Every one has old chip
dirt, ashes, boots, shoes, clothes and ma
nure, which is often nuisance. Dig a big
hole, bury this up in the center of the
mass place Il paiiful OF sand and plant the
fresh bulb. This is to preserve the DOR
mant plant from the wire-worms and in
sects which will not attack the growing
plant. As the plant grows give it an
abundance of water and all the slops of the
house. Any kind of manure fresh or old,
ashes, leaves and vegetables, will soon dis
appear and be absorbed by this gigantic
king Of plants. As the rainy season APP
proaches pile all the leaves and twigs of
trees around the plants 1t protects the
bulbs and makes the soil rich for next sea-
son. 1t is a very easy plant TO cultivate
Never try to protect it by covering in
winter, for it makes the plant weak My
experience shows me that is more than
useless
