The postoffice at Los Angeles is hav- ing a strenuous time these days to dis patch second class mail matter. In ad- dition to the large amount of first-class mail matter to sort out and route, as a result of the large number of tourists and visitors in that city at this time, the postoffice clerks are putting in overtime handling tons of copies of the Midwinter Number of the Los An geles Times, which was issued on Jan. 1st. As usual, citizens and tourists all over the Southwest are mailing great numbers of this issue of "rhe Times" to friends-many going to re- mote parts of the world.
 No section of the world can tell prouder story of progress and develop ment than can Southern California for 1902, and .'The Times" has certainly told it truthfully and well, and bes, of all, has told it in few words and in at tractive form. Such papers do effect i've missionary work in the East and one can more correctly inform friends

Shade Trees for the Desert

In the Imperial and Indio districts trial should be given the lebbek tree Albizza lebbek), deciduous tree from India, but extensively planted in the desert parts of Egypt. It grows rapidly, produces dense shade and thrives i'll soils containing but little moisture. It will also endure, without apparent injury, the sand storms of the desert. Another strong point in their favor is the ease with which they may be transplanted at all ages, with little danger of loss.
 In Egypt they are allowed to grow in the nursery row until to 8 inches in diameter and are then dug up and pruned back to desired height and size of head and planted where needed. During the first year only, do the trees require watering. The trees grow to d large size, some in cultivation meas uring nine feet in diameter. They spread in all irregular, gnarly growth. and would do much to relieve the monotony of plantations of the con- ventional and tiresome growth of Euca- lypts. Information regarding seeds may be had from the Department of Agriculture.-Cu

THE life of a girl student at the

to the account Of one who has
experienced it. is not devoid of vivacity,

station The arriving girl student dis

may have been in the drawing room.

the college world.
She is. as Mrs Browning expressed it,
by no means the equal of the male"
She finds herself scorned by porters and
cabmen. who are hurrying to do the bid
ding Of the lords Of creation. and it is
only after Hercules and Apollo have de
parted, in their glory, monopolizing all
the hansoms and leaving porters dazed
by their tips, that the girl student makes
known her desire FOR a modest cab ana
is taken to her destination.
Her Arrival.

with box and bicycle at one Of the four
halls Of residence existing at Oxford

IF sANCHO PANZA had been a wom-
an, and living today. he certainly
i would revise his famous exelama-
ton and call down blessings on the man
who invented the chafng dish. All the
annoyance and perplexity which the com
ic writer's would have US believe once
tried the temper and troubled the soul
of the woman whose husband brought
home an unexpected guest to dinner are
speedily vanishing. for the wedding bells
have hardly ceased Ginning when the
up-to-date husband promptly proceeds
to buy a chatting dish-that is, if they
lave not got che already for wedding
present, which is more than likely.
4 Recognized Feature Now.
From a luxurious accessory the chafng
dish has become a recognized feature Of
domestic Iife-aIways at hand, ready to
serve you, easy to operate. It well typi-
fes domestic comfort, is the modern en-
bIem of hospitality, and the symbol Of
good fellowship. Whether for madame
to use for iInpromptu repasts OF the late
luncheon before retiring. for mademoI-
seIIe's dainty after-theater supper, the
bachelor girls room. or the college
mans Gen, as q gift 10 the bride who is
lust setting up domestic establishment,
or present for the woman who is ceIe-
brating her silver anniversary, the chat
ing dish is growing steadily in favor.
Lots Of ehafng dishes were given this
Christmas. and all over the land they are
now figuring in initial experiments at
making Welsh rarebit. lobster Ia
Newburg, oysters or fudge
Chatting Dishes of Various Kinds
The growing popularity Of the chatting
dish is indicated by the increasing
amount of space which the stores give
TO these up-to-date cooking utensils. and
the various appointments which go with
them. First of all. there are the chafng
dishes themselves. which now come IN
the less expensive nickel, in silver. and
in the new royal copper. An ultra-fash-
fonabIe chatting dish is of copper, artis-
tically orramented with applied silver,
which stands on tray Of similar de-
sign. Price 500. When the talent of
the designer is given free play the chat
t ing dish becomes a work Of art. thing
/ Of ornament quite as much as an article
Of utility, By way of example, a chahng
dish which is a combination of earthen-
ware dish in a frame Of hammered cop
per-price Sis. This by no means rep
resents the high-water mark Of cost.
In Many Designs.
The silver chafing dishes are in many
different designs. They come in the
bright silver OF the French gray finish
Some are absolutely plain except, per-
haps, for a simple line of beading,
others are more deliberately ornamented
with floral borders. Handles of ebony,
ivory, or staghorn give variety to the
designs.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-01-18

The chahng dishes are Of different ca
pscity, large and small. Some have one
burner. others three. The lamps are
much improved over what they ussd
TO be. Many OF the dishes do away with
wicks, and in the newest designs the
lamp is so constructed that the fame
can be regulated in a twinkling, en-
.Iarged at will or reduced at villa most

The electrical eEafng dish perhaps is
the latest stage in the evolution of this
useful. convenient and fashionable ap-
purtenance. It is said to work on any
incandescent circuit. either direct or
Indirect current. The circuit is estab-
Iished by means Of a wire with plug
at one end. Remove the globe, screw
in the plug, and you can concoct any
ehaang dish dainty from Welsh rare
bit to creamed oysters
The Various Appointments.
The vogue Of the cbafng dish has
brought its own special appointments in
its train. There are spoons and forks
with ebony. ivory or staghorn handles
to correspond with the nountings OF

Difference IN the Students.
There is a marked difference between
the men and women students at OK
ford in the motive which takes them
there. Usually a man goes because it is
the thing" because his family have
been oxford men from away back. Life
at the university means for him several
years pleasantly spent. with athletics
and hunting and social functions absorb
ing most Of his time. with modicum
of study.
But most Of the girl students go to
oxford to quality themselves to earn
living. Few of them have anything like
as much money at their disposal as the
men have, and the period of study wears
for them the serious aspect of laying
up capital for the future.
