HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston Texas, April 1.-The re-
cent cold snap has been fatal to the
fruit. The aggregate damage over the
fruit belt averages from 25 to IS per
cent. while in Uvalde County the peach
crop is reported as practically de-
stroyed. The following list OF several
reports to the Houston Chamber of
Commerce may be taken as indicative
of the fruit status today:
Waco-Elbertas damaged 40 to so
per cent; pears 80 to 40 per cent.
Cameron-Damage percentage high,
all fruits.
Athens-Sixty per cent of the peach
blooms killed.
The freeze caught the blooms open
in Grayson County and the damage is
heavy.
Peach damage in Ellis County may
total rs per cent.
Lamar. Erath and the highlands In
Parker County reported little damage,
but the lowlands in the latter county
bear the brunt of the loss.
Top prices are still being paid IN
the Houston produce market for all
kinds of chickens. The Houston mar
ket is the highest chicken mart in the
country; the demand is good, but the
Supply is short The price current
cards of Houston chicken dealers show
highest prices being paid shippers OF
chickens.
Strawberries have taken a tumble
of 10 cents a box and the price VIII
weaken as the season advances. All
coast country produce is coming in
strong despite the cold weather. Eggs
are steady, with an upward tendency,
as receipts were lighter during the
cold snap.

Once unon a Time h France.

There was q time in France when a foolish actress who was ambitious enough to want q decoration and so ill advised as to make application for it to one of the ministers was punished by imprisonment. It was during the reign of Losis NV. and the first gen- tlenan in waiting of his majesty wrote this to the governor of the Fort rEveque prison:
 Dear Slr-Flaying been informed that Mile Cla.ron has had the insoleace and has been mad enough to solicit enc of the kings decorations. 10 which neither her sex nor her profession entities her, write you this letter iu the name Of the King. You are to lac.. her up in yonr good prison of le Fort ri.Neque and maNe things sui fciently uncomfortable for her to teach her a lesson.

Servian Women.

There Is no country in the world where w3men occupy a more dignitied or honored position in the home than Servia. The Servian idea is quite diff ferent from that of the Turk. who keeps his women behind shut doors, or the German. whose ideal woman is a good hausfrau. In Servia the woman is the companion of the man. A man is responsible for his unmarried sisters, and throughout the Balkan states it is considered rather a breach of etiquette for him to marry before his older sis ter. No Seryian girl would feel she could bod up her head in society un- less she could speak four languages. There is hardly Seryian woman who cannot play some musical instrument Embroidery. painting. drawing and sculpture are all studied. Politics is a popular feature among women. Ser vian women are very domesticated, and the highest ladies pay personal atten- tion to trivial matters of housekeeping. London Tit-Bits.

Gladstone on the Balkans

The traditional opposition of Bulga- ria to Turkey constituted. according to Mr. Gladstone. one of the chief fac tors of European progress. Speaking of the Balkan peoples, he once said:
 They are like shelving beach which restraints the ocean. That beach, it is true. is beaten by the waves: it is laid desolate: it produces nothing: it becomes perhaps nothing save q mass of shingle. of rock. of almost useless seaweed. But it is fence behind which the cultivated earth can spread and escape the incoming tide. and such was the resistance of Bulgarians. of Servians and of Greeks. It was that resistance which left Europe to claim the enjoyment of her own religion and to develop her institutions and her laws."-London Chronicle.

Trousers.

Modern trousers came into fashion in 1872, yet the column of Trajan shows a group of Sarmatians clothed in trous- CTS that are just like ours. AS early as 4. D. 69 Roman general created great scandal by going to war in trousers. which were regarded as 'barbarian." When the Bulgarian King Boris was converted to Christianity in the sev- enth century. among the i06 questions he propounded to the pope was wheth- CT it was lawful for Christians to wear trousers. The explanation of this is that the BulCarians had long been among the trousered peoples. but as conversion was coming from the flow ing robed Creeks they feared that robes instead of trousers might be es- sential to Christianity.
