Beating Ahead.

The appearance of woman delegate
at a recent Wesleyan conference in Eng
land was the occasion of great conster-
nation. Commenting thereon, The Pail
Mall Gazette remarks: In Australia they
are accustomed to that sort of thing. At
the Congregational union, which was
holding its meetings in Sydney when the
last mail left, there were no fewer than
10 women delegates. and their presence
caused no surprise whatever. The num-
Der included five single and IA married
women. and though the proportion-19
out of ia lay and so ministerial dele
gates-is small, it shows that women
are beating ahead" at the antipodes.

Ut zicoats of a Poetess.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox is having her
petticoats made on a peculiar pattern in

her husband and herself together. She
dotes on white petticoats, and so does
he flor her; it is not meant that he
wears them himself, but she concluded
that she paid for a great deal of unnec-
essary laundering. So the new garment
is made of two pieces-a top and deep
flounce that buttons on to it. The hounce
can be changed as many times as you
like and buttoned on to the top piece.

The latest notion with New York wo-
men addicted to wearing flowers on the
street is to attach streaners of ribbon,
similar in color to the flowers, to their
coats. The notion has become so popu-
lar that almost every florist in the city
keeps as largo stock of ribbon on hand
as he does of flowers. The idea started
about the time the violet season opened,
and for d time only violet colored rib
bon was in demand, but now the florists
say that they sell ribbon of all hues with
different kinds of flowers.
The ribbon flower combination was
only seen on Broadway at first. but now
the east side young women have taken
it up, and almost every girl who prom
enades on Grand street and the Bowery
has her bunch of flowers with the rib
bon attachment fastened to her coat.
Like the chrysanthemum craze, it will
probably disappear suddenly from
Broadway, and the east side will be per-
mitted to enjoy it all to itself for the
rest of time.

of the harvest just now beginning.
The crop, it is believed, will amount
to at least 2, 800, 900 boxes, and growers
are talking about So and So. 90 a box,
so that the gross amount of money that
will find its way to the slope in return
for oranges this season is pretty certain
to be more than So, 900, 600. AS there is
a good profit in the fruit at 81 so box,
the reason for jubilation on the part of
the California growers is apparent.

their standpoint, but in 1892 and 1898

ruin more than 5000, 900 worth of
fruit The next year a com bination of
buyers was effected for the purpose of
keeping the price down to So box. The
growers objected and held off as long as
possible, but failed to properly organize
for the marketing of the fruit them
selves. Finally, when the season was
too far advanced for them to SO organ

and sold at ruinous prices, not more
than $500, 900 being received for what
should have brought between 81, 0OO,

ers combined and marketed the fruit
themselves at prices that returned large
net profits.
It is estimated that between $33, 900,
900 and $50, 900, 900 is now invested in
orange groves in California. Twenty
years ago the industry as it now exists
had not yet been born. There were a
few oranges at Los Angeles and some
near the old Franciscan mission of San
Gabriel, the annual product of which
was about 2, 600 boxes. None of these
oranges, however, was sent east, both
