FINE FRUIT FOR HAMBURG.
j. A. FILCHER'S PLAN FOR
SENDING SOME.
He Wishes the Visitors to Have an
Opportunity of Judging What
California Can Do.

J. A. Filcher, Commissioner of the
California exhibit at Hamburg, was in
the city yesterday ON a mission that
should fully arouse the interest and
support of the fruit growers of this
section.
The judges viii first pass on the gem
eral exhibit at the end of this month.
The next month, from the 9th to the
2Oth, there will be a deciduous fruit ex-
hibit. This is a splendid opportunity
opened TO the fruit growers of this
State if they have the perception to
grasp it. 1t gives them chance TO
ship their finest specimens of fruit to
a city where it will not be put in mar
ket stalls to be gazed at by the rich,
but to be placed in an exhibit where
it will, by competition with fruits raised
in Europe have an opportunity TO snow
to thousands what splendid fruits we
can raise here without the intervention
of hothouses and trellises, but in the
open air and by the acre. to supply the
worlds great markets.
Mr.. Filcher is trying to ascertain
what is the least cost for which he
can send an exhibit of fruit. He
proposes to employ a man to collect
and receive the fruit from such grow
ers as wild contribute it at the fruit
freight depot. He would like to get
about 200 boxes. carefully packed, and
thinks if only half of it arrives in good
condition that it will be an excellent
object lesson to the HamburgerS. the
Earl Fruit Company has offered to re-
frigerate it free of charge, and between
the willingness that fruit growers who
have been spoken to and the offer or
Mr.. Earl. Mr. Filcher thinks that fine
exhibit will go across the water to
show visitors at the exposition what
fine fruit California produces. and that
it win lead TO opening a market there
sooner than would otherwise be the
case. although parties are already hg-
uring on shipments.
He is trying to make arrangements
n start the shipment next Monday and
to arrange terms with the steamship
company to taht end.

THE WITCH'S REVENGE.
THRILLING TALE AS UNFOLDED
IN A NURSERY.
An Account of the Gradual but
Rapid FuIfllment of a Pre-
diction.

My niece, Alice, has predispositions
to sorrow and tragedy. They crop out
only rarely, and for the most part she
likes best to hear about little girls who
fall into jelly tarts and have to eat
their way out, and about good little
boys who get unlimited sugar loaf. But
occasionally the mood seiZes her and
she wants anguish laid on thick.
At such times she commands me-:
"Uncle, tell me about the little girl who
dropped down an organ pipe. Uncle,
tell about the poor little boy who wan
dered on the railroad track and the
engine came along and said, 'Choo"
'Chooi' 'Chooi' :" Uncle, tell about the
baby who fell into the canal" Or,
"Uncle, tell all about the naughty child
who climbed a great, tall tree and new
er, never came down and what he:
parents thought of it,
I will not have heard before of the
catastrophe in the organ pipe, or in
the canal, or on the railroad, or up the
tree, but my invention is strong and
1 am rather fluent of speech when L
meet my peers of the nursery. So
make the ghost Of one little girl go
wandering over the organ keys, tramp
ing out unearthly chords ever after,
and I have the other little girl flutter
perpetually, like a scarecrow, from the
top of the cherry tree, to the agony of
her relatives, and as for the unfor-
tunate small boy on the railroad track.
I do not do a thing to him.
1t is this underlying seriousness in
my niece's nature that led her to regard
my funniest story in the light Of a
great sorrow 1t related to the vicissi-
tudes of a waggish African, whose wool
was so kinky that I'm cold weather he
could not touch the ground with his
heels. / own I got the idea for him
from a paragraph about dog in Ir-
wing But the detail was my own.
Alice recited everywhere in the neigh
borhood and always with expressions
of sympathy the unlucky predicament
of
THE small darky named Jim,
Who was black, very agile, but slim
AS I phrased it in a rhymed version
which l composed for the use of her
younger sister, Tottie.
One evening all four of US were seat
ed in the nursery, whittier, indeed, I am
wont to resort for intellectual exercise
after vegetating all day in downtown
office. Number four was the baby.
Dick a robust infant, elemental alike
in his joys and sorrows, and inclined TO
take the cue for each from his two
sisters. Tottie is tender-hearted, and
so is Alice, except when her scientific
curiosity is aroused. I have reason to
believe that an unluc1xy remark of mine
about the solar plexus Of the beetle
was the cause of an enthusiastic course
of dissection which she prosecuted for
two days.
Well. Tottie was tickling Dick IN the
ribs with her forefnger, and Dick was
riotous with appreciation. That was a
point which he could understand. 1t
was then that Alice rose to the spirit
of the occasion with a request that

ties captivate by their brightness, and
the habit reflected in their face of
desire to please. Largilliere's ladies
were perhaps less coquettish. Still the
genius of sociability beams in their
physiognomies.
The Georgian English painters tried to
leave on the canvas the presentment of
beautiful women who were quite nat
ural. They eschewed fashion in physi-
ognomy Look at the portraits of Sir
Joshua, of Romney. of Nollekens, of
Gainsborough, of Opie, and the minia-
lures of CosWay. l never saw a more
exquisitely natural, sweet, soft, amdable
being than Gainsborough's Mrs. Jordan.
The fashion in faces when the Queen
came to the throne, and long after, made
for simpering sentimentality. The Ia
dies in painting of the Queens first
drawing-room seem in ecstasieS OF sim
pering admiration of the young Queen.
There was an expression in the BOOK
of Beauty countenance that matched
with the sentimental songs of l.. Il. L.,
Constance" and so on, and with the
troubadour melodies of Mario. 1t was
very insincere; but 1 think it was more
agreeable than the type THE Book OF
Beauty of the Victorian Era" seeks to
hand down to posterity. l do not know
the exact date, but 1t must have been
brought out since the Duchess of York,
the Duchess of Marlborough, and the
Princess of Pless were married. The
most agreeable types are the American
ladies. who, by dint of dollars, have
made their way into the peerage. The
ariStOcratic bpautV of the present day
seems as if haunted with the idea of
American competition in the marriage
market. Can she have wearisome
sense of the uselessness of shining be-
fore noblemen whose dreams are all or

she looks discontented, almost disgusted
