NOVELTIES FOR THE B0UD0IR.

A dainty little chest of qua rtcred oak or
satin wood is a novelty and If one is col
lector, a necessity as we'll
Fitted with lock and key, it proves d safe
receptacle for the costly treasures which
the industrious person is getting together
perhaps of stamps, perhaps of book plates.
The chest is about twelve inches high,
foot wide and two feet long; If made to
order the dimensions must be regulated by
the size of the collection.
The prettiest ones are made of uuartered
oak, with panels of satin wood upon which
a design has been etched, usually in various
cOlOrs, possibly gay cavalier and his lady
love, or cupids and a bower Of roses-any
design that is effective Will answer the
purpose A mottO-your own and your
coat -Oi-arms must form the decoration on
the top of the chest. Put in one corner of
your morning room or boudoir, the chest
will certainly adOrn the spot and elicit
many an exclamation: "Oh how pretty,
and what is it for?" II is always so nice to
have a novelty to introduce to a friend.
Still another new thing-a charming lit
tie frame made of OAK for holding photo
graphs, that is, Just four pictures. 1t is
one frame with four divisions The pie
lures are slipped in at the back, and each
one has a glass over its face. The affair is
really four frames in one. 1t is hung upon
the wall and the little shelf which forms
the upper part of the frame serves nicely
10 hold some triiing ornament, perhaps
little vase with a few flowers. Our En-
glsh friends are quite devoted to this style
of framing pictures Of intimate friends and
lately they have been introduced here.

as much as she does vacuum.
The sanity gantess in question is q girl
OF twenty, whose height is eight feet
two inches. She lives in Price Mo Price

Veriest trlic of a population, and not one
American in Thousand knows there is
such place at all. But it has claim to

OF Miss Ella Ewing, for that is the young
lady's name. She was educated III this
remote settlement. and Will not leave il.
Thus 1T happens that very few people have
ever seen Miss Ewing, although her fame
has spread far and wide by word OF mouth.
This fame is by no means the result Of her
physique. Evident as is the fact that Miss
Ewing is glantess, il is not more evident
than are the qualities that make her a saint
ly GIantess. Every man, woman and child
in Price has the warmest regard for her.
To DE more exact OH the subject OF
Miss Ewing, II may be mentioned that,
although she weighs 200 pounds, her
height OF eight feet two saves her from
any appearance Of obesity On the con
trary, she lmpresSeS one as gracefully
slender, and this impression is confirmed
by her taste in dressing. Miss Ewing

A Mexico dispatch says: The expected
arrival of ministers from Honduras and
Salvador and the possible nomination
of ministers from Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA has put new light on the Guatemalan-
Mexican boundary negotiations. The evil
dent object is to support Guatemala and to
bring force to make Mexico back down
from it's attitude. All appearances are that
Guatemala is making efforts to form a
Central American league against Mexico
for the settlement OF old scores. The Qua
temalan minister Is alleged to have tele-
graphed, after his official reception, that
the response Of Diaz was applauded, con-
trary to diplomatic precedent, that he used
threatening language and prejudiced a
question Of high Importance to all Central
America. The policy of the minister is
evidently not pleasing to his chief, for it is
alleged that Barios replied requesting that
he pursue more conciliatory policy.

CALIFORNIA; GOOD FRUIT CROP.
Growers viii Not Take Advantage o.
FIOrida's Misfortune.

From the action of the executive COM
mittee the southern California fruit ex-
changes have no feeling that because there
has been freezing in Florida they are go
ing to take advantage Of consumers and
get fabulous prices for their fruit Quota
items have heretofore been made about
February /, at which time the heavy ship
ments usually begin. This year, however,
the exchanges are prepared for business a
month ahead of the regular time, notwith-
standing the fruit is little late in ripen-
ing.
The executive committee Of the ex-
changes have fixed prices for the opening
of the season as follows: Fancy California
navels, free on board cars, 81 per box;
choice, $1.75; standards, $1.2O. 1t may be,
however, that as the season advances and
it becomes apparent that the trade will
stand it these prices will be raised.
The crop this year is estimated at about
$500 carloads, or little less than 100000
boxes Since the news has been received
of the frost and consequent loss to oranges
in Florida prices have advanced somewhat
for California fruit. Notwithstanding the
damage to the Florida crop and the fact
that Inquiries and orders are rolling into
the exchange from all over the country
very reasonable prices have been fixed.
