BIG GRAPE VINES. California has, pro-

more than 500 lbs. Of grapes as an aver

We have heard nothing lately Of the yield
Of the Montecito and Coloma big vines.
We saw the yield Of the latter in 1867
when young, and it then bore $500
punches of grapes. The Montecito vine
grew from a cutting Of the big vine at the
same place, set out in 1895 and cut down
in 1875, when so years old. II had
diameter Of Is inches, covered an atbor
ia feet long BY IS wide, and averaged
three tons in its annual yield. The big
vine at Dlakes separates, at the surface OF
the ground, into two stems, each six inches
in diameter. The vine at Coloma Is an

sion variety.-Saa Francisco Altd.

A Mutual Surprise.

A Danburv grocery firm have taken the
agency for hammock One of ihe arti-
c|es they have hung at the front. in the
shade. of their porch. They hnng it
there as an advertisement, but numerons
people have got into it to see how II work
cd. I, hung so low that they contd easily
sit in it, and undoubtedly the motion was
agreeable and comforting. Bat lhe gro
GERS didn't fancy this performance, esprci
ally as the hammock sitters were tzot ham
mock buyers. So they removed The loop
at one end from the hook, and fastened j,
by bit of twine instead. Shortly after
man came in for two quarts of rno'asses
('reacIe). 1t was put up in his pal, aud
paper tied over the top AS he had tergotten
TO bring cover. When he passed ou, he
saw the hammock. His curiosity was
aroused at once. The g'ocers were busy
inside SO he thought he would Investigate
on his own account With tina, keen 10
tuition peculiar to New England man. he
saw at one glance that it was something
to get into. He knew it was nalhng to
wear and was equally sure it could not be
arranged for cooking. He sat down in it..
Then he swung forward, and lifted his feet
up. The twine fastening gave way. 1t
was dreadful affair. He had tire pail Of
treac|e sitting on his lap and there was q
dog sitting under the hammock. Neither
the dog nor the treacle expected ahything
any more than the man himself did. 1t
was terrible surprise to all Of them. The
man and the dog lost their presence of
mind, and even the pail lost its head. The
golden syrup" went into his Jap, ran
down his legs, and swashed up undcr his
vest, and insinuated itself so,ns way in be-
tween himselfand his clothes. Aad when
he went down he hit the dog withzhis heel
on The back, and the dog was so wild with
terror and amazement that it sent up
head splitting yell. and fled nadly down
the street having first taken the precaution
to bite him in the leg, aud to tip over the
tier Of wooden water pals. When the
pals went down lot of hoes wets carried
over with them, and that started p box Of
garden seeds, mounted on box, and they
in turn brought away pile Of peek meas
ures, whose summit was crowned with a
pyramid Of canned tomatoes. Il was
dreadful shock 70 the man, and nearly par
a|yzed him with its magnitude. But when
one article after another came avaEanching
atop Of him. be thought the evil one him
self had burst loose, and heejust screamed
rs loud as he con|d. The treacla was all
over him, and the garden seeds had adher
ed to the treacle, and he looked more like
a huge ginger bread stuck full Of ,saraways
than anything else. In this awful condi
ton he waddled home.-Danbury. News.
