Oranges are always abundant and cheap
IN England. They come from every orange
growing country on earth, and prices range.
according to size and quality. from cent to
three cents per orange. Remarkably good
oranges may be had during the greater part
of the season at twO cents each or q shilling
per dozen. Navel oranges from California,
no matter how fine and perfect in condition,
can scarcely be expected to command more
than 80 20 30 cents n dozen, and the market
at the latter rate will only be among the
middle classes and the rich. Even with this
Limitation there would still be a brisk de-
mand. Probably superb qualities will coin-
mand a higher price IN the United States
than in England; but, as has been remarked,
the luxurious do not sickle over tTihes when
in Quest of Injuries, and it Is quite within
The bounds Of possibility that Riverside ma
vels, ripe and sound, may obtain fancy
prices quite unprecedented 10 the annals Of
COYent Garden.
As to grapes, California VIII have to study
tie masses and not the classes. Tbs wineries
Of tie rich provide constant supply OF
table grapes for family use, and The dealers
are well furnished wish supplies by market
gardeners. BY special cultivation supplies
Of these grapes are Obiainable throughout
the year, and they cannot be surpassed IN
quality. The price ranges from shil-
lngs 60 4 and even 10 shllings per
pound. Grapes for the multitude come from
Spain, packed in barrets among sawdust. and
frequently un1ar or over ripe, rarely ia

interest as the place where the Duke of
Clarence and Princess May became engaged
She is the ony woman who has ever won
the marked affection of the Princess of
Wales. and is a frequent and welcome
guest at Sandringham and Marlborough
House. 1t is said that the real reason why
the two ladies agree so well is owing to the
complete similarity of their views as to
what should be the education of young girls
vigorously careful and what may be styled
Old-fashioned way of bringing up the women
who are to be the mothers of the future
generation
The Prince of Wales daughters were
never allowed to read Shakespeare or Mil
ton in "the rough" and no book was ever
put in their hands which had not been
perused by eitha their mother or Mrs
Gerard Leigh, as Nine. de Fable was then.
The same strict rules were pursued with
reference to their going to the theater; they
never witnessed a performance unless Il
had already been pronounced quite free
the most delicate and prudish taste. On
the other hand. 1t was to Nine. de Fable
that young Princess Victoria appealed when
she fell in love with the Duke of Fife, aud
1t was owing to the kind intercession of that
lady that the Princess of Wales was brought
round to not only her daughters but her
husbands point of view as to the adviSablity
Of the Prince of Wales eldest daughter
marrying an English gentleman instead OF
a German prince. 1t was also in great
measure owing TO Nine. de Falbe's affection
that made the Princess of Wales give up
the idea that she had cherished of having
her eldest son marry one of her Russian,
Greek or German nieees
