The grapes are purchased on the Vines, some by actual weight, others by estimating the prop from weighing the product of every tenth vine, says a writer on raisin-making in the Orange (Cal.) Tribune. Good judges can make a pretty close guess at the num­ ber of tons on an acre of Tines, and years of practice enable the buyer to tell •ery nearly not only the amount but the quality of the raisins to be made from the vines which grow in different soils. While the lower and damper lands bring the largest crop, and perhaps the largest berries, the dry lands give a much larger percentage of sugar, and consequently a finer raisin. It is claimed that the best grades of Orange raisins will this year equal any in the market, and it is confidently expected that our products will gain a very en­ viable name and footing in the East this year. Unusual care is being taken to pack and grade in a manner that will reflect credit on Orange's products, and the result will certainly be a strong de­ mand in the future. The grapes are picked by crews of men under experienced foremen, and placed in trays or wooden frames, ' whioh are piled on top of each other in •Wagons and taken to the scales, weighed, and then taken to the drying-grounds. These consist of about sixty acres of land, smoothed and cleaned like a brick­ yard, and the grapes are spread out in rows to dry in the sun. Ten days or two Weeks from the "laying down" is usually about the time required to dry them, and then those thoroughly cured are token up and put into the sweat-boxes , Probably one-third are not vet cured, and these are turned over and placed in Barrow rows until the action of old Sol "has mode them ready. The enormous quantity of grapes handled by one firm can be estimated when it is known that tt one time this sixty-acre lot was cov­ ered, and a portion of it has been cov­ ered a second time. Teams are contin­ ually coming and going, and a small army of men are employed to take care . of the grapes and keep the teams on the move. Many women and girls are also employed picking up the loose raisins which have fallen from the Stems. The frays are of a number and Capacity to hold 300 tons of grapes. Another thing which catches the eye at the drying-grounds is the preparation made for possible rains, in the shape of Oiled paper stacked up in all directions. This paper is in sheets about four feet in width and sixteen feet long, prepared to withstand rain by dipping it in boil­ ing oil. Two cart-loads of paper and fifty barrels of oil have been used tliis season, but as yet it has not been found necessary to use the paper. When properly dried the grapes are taken up and put into sweat-boxes, probably seventy-five or a hundred pounds to the box, and hauled to the packing-house, where they are piled from floor to ceiling in the large front ' room. They are left here some ten days and passed through a sweating pro­ cess, the object being to equalize the moisture contained in them. When "placed in boxes some are much drier than others, but when ready for the packer the intention is to make them, as nearly as possible, equal and uni­ form in that regard. Four layers are placed in a box. and each layer is weighed by the packer, and the whole must make exactly the twenty pounds required. When a box is filled the packer takes it to the scales near the door, presided over by an expert in. the business, who carefully weighs and ex­ amines it, and if all right it is carried to the next room, where it is nailed up and the corners smoothed off, and it is ready for shipment. Particular care is exer­ cised in grading and weighing. About 125 men are employed in and about the packing-house, aru\ "a steady stream of boxes" is kept going around the circle. We were informed that about 1,500 boxes a day were being turned out, or three car-loads every two days. The Esquimaux and the Reindeer. If a traveler meets an Iwillik Innuit in his winter suit--which he wears nine • or ten months of the year--lie encount­ ers absolutely two distinct animals (in a scientific sense), the Esquimaux and the reindeer. His snow-shoes, boots, stockings, pantaloons, drawers, coat, shirt, mittens and hat arei all of rein­ deer skin. Even the "puckering strings" which hold the clotliing on the body are made of sinew, stripped from the superficial dorsal muscles of the reindeer, and these are shredded and woven into strings. In every igloo, as they call their snow-liouses, can always be found a huge bunch or two of these wide strips of sinew, looking not unlike a bunch of dried tobacco leaves. This bunch of sinew may be called their , spool of thread, for whenever they are sewing you will see the woman reach .ilp over the lamp rack and pull down this rustling mass of dry leaves, look them over, tear off a sinew thread from the side of one, thread her glover's (three-cornered) needle, and go ahead On the garment at which she is working, Until the length of thread is used up. When the bunch is nearly used up, or has been picked over a great many times, it often takes some close scrutiny to get a thread for fine work, but in the snow-house of a good hunter there are always several such bunches in reserve, one doing about a month for a good Esquimaux seamstress, and eacli bunch representing about a dozen reindeer from whose lmcks it has been stripped. These sinew threads are also braided ' -into fisli-lines. drying-racks to put over -the native stone lamps, on which the fur clothes, when wet with perspiration or snow, are dried, and every well-regu- lated Esquimaux family has a large ball of this very light but powerful twine ready for any use to which it can be put. Borrowing. "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." Shakspeaft* in the kitchen is somewhat unusual; but the great poet never wrote another sentence so full of practical common sense. There area few misguided persons who know no other way of being neighborly than to "go over and borrow" something, said some­ thing being usually a kitchen utensil or an article in the provision line; they do not realize that the fore handed neigh­ bor regards the chronic borrower as an Unmitigated nuisance. Onco in a thousand times, in cases of sudden sickness or accident, there may be a reasonable excuse for borrowing, but as a rule the fancied necessity arises simply from carelessness. A slate, with a pencil attached by a string, should hang in every kitchen; out of the reach of meddlesome little fingers; then, whenever anything is known to be out, a note can be made of the fact, and even a poor memory wjjl no lohger serve as an excuse for the neglect to order sufficient provisions or utensils for the family need^ If anything is then overlooked it will be a good dis­ cipline to do penance by going without it until the next opportunity conies for procuring it. What an unfavorable opinion we always form of the new neighbor, who without even the con­ ventional first call, is introduced t^> us by a knock at the back door, and a "Please, marm, will you lend ma a tea­ cup o' butter an' a drawin' o' tea?"-- and the same voice volunteers the statement that they "blieve in being neighborly." So they do, for the sake of getting as much out of their neigh­ bors as possible. As you close the door not very gently upon the retreat­ ing small boy, you say: "Well! What queer people! Hope they'll move away soon!" A More Excellent Way. It was Saturday afternoon, and the quiet sitting-room of Mrs. Morse wore a cosy, home-like look. Whatever of litter by way of work or pleasure had accumulated during the week was re­ moved, and the room was toned down for Sunday rest. Mrs. Morse, in quiet house-dress, "was carefully conning the week's expense, when the door-bell announced a caller. That caller was myself. Maud Alston--now Mrs. Morse--and myself were old-time friends, and though our homes were now distant we had not lost sight of each other, and whenever I visited her town I called. Five years had passed since her mar­ riage with Wilber Morse, and I was sure they had been happy years, not­ withstanding limited means. Both had belonged to aristocratic families, and moved in first circles, yet depended wholly upon themselves, and at their marriage decided to live within their income. Wilber was a hard­ working lawyer. He possessed talent, yet it must take time and money to bring it forth. Recognized ability would undoubtedly be his some day, and in the meantime hie must live. They took a small cottage, and began life in a very moderate and modest manner, resolving not to go in debt one cent. Doubtless their small belongings sometimes brought humiliations, when wealthy and fashionable fri but they held to simple w cheerful, contented, out now on the road to competency, How sensible, thought I, had their course! How much to be p ferred to the showy beginning made by some young people--and I rememliered a call of the day before. Alice Dean and Walter Cliilds were wed the same season, and tlieir wedding was a very stylish, celebrated affair; in fact, in fashionable society of their city home--the same as Maud's--it Avas.the event of the season. I knew Maud's worldly circumstances, in many respects, had been peculiarly trying, when compared with this friend's, for instance, for they were of the same set, but the simpler had proved the wiser, for I found Mrs. Cliilds fretful, peevish, discontented, unhappy, in spite of wealth and costly surroundings. Besides, she confidentially told nu, they were liviug beyond their income, and a crash must soon come--then what? And tears flowed afresh, and life's burden grew heavy. Ah, life's burdens! They will come, and how much better to l>e trained, fitted and prepared for them than con­ stantly shirking and planning to shirk. More excellent, indeed, was Maud's course, and the fruits were being mani­ fest*. Greatly, to be prefecjed was her rule of living than that of her friend Alice, for while she has grown unsel­ fish. thinking, liviug for others, Mrs. Child's life was extremely sr>lf-centred. "What shall I do if Walter's business goes down?" Yet others were affected by the failure. Better a home of quiet and peace where "carking care" and yawning debt dwell not, than a . prince's home with those. And in reviewing my calls I said: "Give me the excellent beginning of Maud and Wilber; true happiness is theirs."--Christian at Ilbrk. T Alphabetic Axioms. Avarice was grown when Adam was a baby.

The train was passing a field which was being plowed when the stranger turned and said: "May I take the liberty to inquire what those men are doing who appear to l>e tearing up the surface of the earth?" The agriculturist answered him as calnilv as his emotion would allow and speedily sought a friend in auother part of the car, saying: "There's a blaiu'd fool down in that seat for'ard who don't know plowin' when he sees it. Do you know who the infernal idiot is?" "That gentleman you were sitting with? Why. that's Col.

A born musician has a great advant­ age over one who is not yet l orn. AN orchard of trees is not a true for­ est. A dense growth of underbrush, herbaceous plants and mosses under the larger trees, which will retain the fallen leaves in place, fill the surface soil with rootlets, checking the floor of water and facilitating its entrance into the earth, are necessary. M. LrDovic BRETON has propounded a new theory of the formation of coal. He believes it is produced by the sink­ ing of floating islands like those which now occur on many lakes and rivers, and which are conspicuous on the Up­ per Nile. These islands are composed chiefly of turf, which, being swallowed up by the water, become*" fossilised at the bottom. EXPERIMENT has proved that zinc free from any foreign metals will not decompose water either on boiling or in presence of dilute sulphuric acid. Pure zinc heated with distilled water in a flask, so arranged as to receive the gases over irercury, gave off no hydro­ gen on prolonged boiling. Nor was it attacked by dilute sulphuric acid. The presence of iron in proportions of from three to five in 100,000 enabled it to decompose water. Traces of arsenic and antimony have the same^ffect. Ax Australian savant has^aseertained that the moon has an influenced on a magnetized needle varying with its phases and its declination. The phe­ nomenon is said to be more prominently noticeable when our satellite is near, the earth, and to be very marked \dien she is passing from the full to her first or second quarter. The disturbances are at their maximum when the moon is in the plane of the equator, and greater during the southern than the northern declination. THE ' Sclnefer electric light is the name of the invention of a young Ger­ man of Boston. The most noteworthy feature, of the new invention is that the carbonized filament enclosed in the incandescent lamp is composed prima­ rily of a simple silk thread, which, when carbonized, remains as flexible as plati­ num wire. These filaments have been tested to last for over 2,000 consecutive hours. Tlieir orignal cost is also very slight; 250 lamps can be maintained by a dynamo propelled by lfi-horse power, the light being white and of great bril­ liancy. PROF. W. MATTIF.T: WILLIAMS con- tencls that minute particles of dust are repelled or driven away from heated bodies, and that the repulsion operates in the open air and confined spaces alike. Large bodies, he adds, are sim­ ilarly repelled, but as the repulsion acts only superficially, and the inertia of a mass of given matter increases with the cube ot its through dimension, and its surface only with the square of the same, the repulsion of such masses de­ mands special and delicate arrange­ ments to render it visible. Assuming this view--that dust is repelled from warmer to cooler bodies, be those bod­ ies solid or gaseous--to be proved, then, "if the walls, floor, ceiling, and furni­ ture of a room be warmer than the air of the room, the dust will be repelled from the walls, etc., to the air; while il the air be warmer than the walls the dust will be projected from the air to the walls." Hence those methods ol warming rooms are to be preferred which heat the air rather than the solid objects; and this, in Mr. Williams opinion, should exclude open fires. How Silk-Raising Pays. An Ohio mother, with one lame boy 16 years old ("who often worries tc know what he can do") and several younger members of the family, de- termined to make a thorough test oi the "new industry for women, children, and invalids," advocated by the Wash­ ington bureau of agriculture and by various schemers not in government employ. Misplacing confidence in these interested representations she last spring bought eggs, a book of "direc­ tions," and about the middle of May started operations in a warm room. The worms soon began to make thing* lively. They were good feeders and 8 very heal thy family. W ell, after a week or two, it took four sometimes five of us four hours a day to them and clean trays, and before they wound up tliek- business life became almost a bur­ den to the little ones. But I encour­ aged tin-in by the rich harvest in store for tlieni, and we kept it up. To shorten the story told in detail in the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, we note that at last the season's crop wag forwarded to the "Women's Silk Cul­ ture Association of Philadelphia," ex­ press charges prepaid. After waiting two or three weeks, the victim wrote once more: "Finally I received an answer saying, 'Our ladies are in the country, but will be back next week and attend to your business.' Well, we waited again. J do not remember how long. Finally 1 received a check for seventy cents! I have lieen told since by parties from West Virginia that they never even acknowledged the receipt of theirs/' The sum mentioned--seventy cents, for weeks of hard work of a whole family--is considerably less than the aforesaid "Women's Silk Culture Asso­ ciation of Philadelphia" agreed to pay. This is not the first complaint we have seen of that concern, which, unless we are. misinformed, was "fostered" a few months apo with £1.50(1 of public money.--Setc York Tribune. Douglas Jerrold and Phelps. In his youth Samuel Phelps used tc plav in a humble amateur company, and was foolish enough to invite Jerrold, then a printer in the same office with him, to witness the performance. Phelps asked for his opinion. "Have you really made up your mind . to chuck up the shop and go on this wild-goose chase?" said Jerrold. "I have." replied Phelps. "Very well." he continued; "don't say afterward I didn't warn you." "Warn me!" exe'laimed Phelps. "Do you mean to say I shall never* Make an actor?" "No. I don't mean to say anything oi the kind.

A contributor to the Popular JSci- enoe Monthly attempts to prove that the debasement of mankind during the darkness of the middle ages was due to the "adaption of the horse to warfare, and the development of defensive armor." The enigma of the long night has defied more plausible theories. Prof, von Banke, who recently cele­ brated his ninetieth birthday, asciubes it to the flunkyism inherited from the bond-house of dying Rome; Condorret and Hume to the influence of a system of ethics inculcating the duties of self- abasement and passive obedience. Des­ pots have certainly been fond of moral­ izing on the enforcement of those duties, just as ignorance gloried in the neglect of worldly science and indo­ lence in the neglect of worldly indus­ try. At all events, one should think that horses and hardware are not neces­ sary concomitants of slavery. Thes- salian war-horses and Corinthian armor did not prevent Greece from worshiping freedom for seven hundred years.
