Big Grapevine IN 0alifornla.


California has, probably, twenty vines,
each of which produces more than SOC
pounds of grapes on an average crop.
Among these are vines at Coloma and
Blakes, and near Montecito and Stockton
representing the Sierra Nevada, the coast
mountains north of San Francisco, the San
Joaquin valley, the southern coast, the level
of the sea, and an elevation Of 1000 feet
above it. The Stockton vine, a mile south
east of that town, in the yard of Mr.. Phelps
house, is a foot in diameter, and has this
year produced 5000 pounds (24 tons) ac-
cording to the Independent. We have
heard nothing lately of the yield of the
Montecito and Coloma big vines. We saw
the latter in 1867 when young, and it bore
1900 punches of grapes. The Montecito
vine grew from a cutting of the old big vine
at the same place, set out in 1895, and cut
down in 1875, when eighty years old. 1t
had a diameter of 10 inches, covered an ar
Dor of ia feet loug by 70 wide, and aver
aged three tons in its annual yield. The
big vine at Blakes separates, al the surface
of the ground, into two stems, each six
inches in diameter. The vine at Coloma is
an Isabella the other three are Of the Mis-
sion variety.

Means to Prevent Grave-robbi ng.

A man In Iowa proposes to fill the
space around a cofln with hydraulic
cement, which will soon become so hard
that it cannot be broken without using
a blast of powder. A citizen Of Cincin-
natl has patented a coffin safe designed
to protect the remains of the dead from
the emissaries of dissecting-rooms. 1t
consists of a case much larger than the
coffin and is composed of bars of
wrought iron. In filling the grave dirt
passes between these bars in such guam
titles that the safe cannot be lifted
without the aid of a derrick. The con-
Germ resembles In construction a crate
used for holding china ware. The
cover, made OF iron bars, is secured to
the bottom before any earth is thrown
In the grave. In the meantime a New
York man has patented a coffin torpedo,
designed for the extinction of grave
robbers. 1t consists of a canister con-
tanning pawder, balls, and a firing trig
ger so arranged that 1t Will cause the
powder to explode should any one open
the lid of the coffin. A more summary
way of %disposing of grave-robbers is
prepared by a Massachusetts inventor.
He would put a charge of dynamite in
the grave, so that a touch of q spade
would cause Its explosion. This would
be pretty severe not only on the de-
spoilers but the occupants Of graves.
For that matter 1t would be rather Sc.
we're on n%eighboring grave-stones and
other monuments to the memories of
the dead as we'll as fences and shrub
berry. While the many recent cases Of
grave-robbery have melted inventions
TO lind out ways of rendering graves
secure, they have given a new impetus
TO cremation. A cremation society has
been organized at Indianapolis and a
furnace is in process of erection. Most
persona appear to be averse to burning
the bodies of their friends and relatives,
but between having them cremated Or
running the risk Of having them made
articles of m and then hacked
TO pieces by unskllled butchers, they
would doubtless prefer the former. 1t
Is possible that the present excitement
may result in the adoption of some
more satisfactory method OF disposing
of the dead than has hitherto been en-
! ployed. If this should be the case some
compensation will be afforded for the
vast amount of unhappiness recent out
RACES have caused.

COLD CHOCOLATE PUDDING.-The re-
cipe given below is used by Miss Dodds:
| require Tor cold chocolate pudding
one-quarter pound of block chocolate,
one t%easpoonful of vanilla, one pint OF
milk, one ounce OF vinegar, one-half
ounce of gelatine, one-half gill of cold
water and the yolks of four eggs. Crate
the chocolate through a carrot crater.
Put the chocolate and milk on to boil,
and melt by the fire one-half ounce OF
gelatine with one-half gill of cold
water. When the chocolate and milk
boil draw the saucepan to m side and
let 1t cool a little. In a small basin put
the yolks of four eggs and over them
pour the chocolate and milk. Add the
sugar and melted gelltine. Pour all
this back into the saucepan and stir

Predicting Pldgues.-Numer0us at
tempts have been made Of late to show
that the variations in the number OF
spots on the SUMS face were the cause
of excessive rains, poor wheat crops,
commercial panics and other terrestrial
occurrences. Now comes Mr.. b. G.,
jenkins, Fellow CT the British Royal
Astronomical Society, who says that
cholera. the black death, and other
plaques are the effect of planetary in
fiuences, and particularly of those of
the four outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn
Uranus and Neptune. He goes back
for hundreds of years, asserts that all
the plaques which have swept over
Europe during that period can be ac-
counted for by the movements and po-
sitions of one or more of these planets
and concludes with this ominous pre-
diction. 81 would say that within the
next seven years there will happen that
which has not happened for hundreds
of years; all the planets at oil ear
their nearest pointto the sun about the
same time. IL is true of the earth that
It's magnetic intensity is greatest about
the time when it is near the sun; the
same is probably true of all the planets {;
therefore we may expect extraordinary
magnetic phenomena during the next
seven years, and great plaques, which
will manifest themselves in all their
intensity when Jupiter is about three
years from his perihellon-that is, in
1888"

How TO Grow RICE.-There is no
difference in species between upland
and lowland rice. After breaking up
your ground lay off rows three and a
half feet wide. Drop about eight
grains to the hill, wide enough apart to
admit hoe between them. Plow with
a sweep until the last blowing. In
laying by, throw a furrow on each side
with a small turn plow, and break out
the middle with a sweep. This will
leave the rice with a small bed. Hoe
when necessary. Cut the rice when
ripe, and let il lie two days. If the
weather is'fair, it will be thoroughly
cured in that time, when it can be tied
into bundles and hauled into the barn.
If the weather is unfa 'orable, put into
shocks like oats, and let it remain in
the field untll cured. Plant at any
time from the middle OF March until the
first of June. No crop responds better
to the use of guano than rice. Itbrings,
rough, from $1.05 to $l.20 per bushel.
Even at twenty bushels per acre,
which is asmall yield, it would pay bet
ter than cotton ut present prices.

jolly, keen-eyed son of the sod, who
acted as hostler at a large stable, and
who was up as a witness IN a case OF

Curran greatly desired to break down
the %credibllity of this witness, and
thought to do 1t by making the man
contradict hlmself-by tangling him
up In a network of adroitIy framed
quostlOns-but all TO no avail. The
hosrler was a companion to Sam Wei.

Ice IN THE SICK Reconsideration is
made in a foreign paper OF a plan pur-
sued by an ingenious physician Tor
insuring a supply of ice for use in sick
rooms during the hottest nights, and
without disturbing the patient. This
plan is to cut a piece of flannel about
nine inches square, and secure it by
ligature round the mouth of an ordinary
tumbler, so as to leave a cup-shaped
depression of flannel within the tum-
bier to about half its depth. In the
flannel cup so formed pieces of ice may
be preserved many hours all the
longer if a piece of flannel from four to
five inches sAEIre be used as a loose
cover to the ice cup. Cheap flannel,
with comparatively open meshes, is
preferable, as the water easily drains
through it, and the ice is thus kept
quite dry.

CABBAGE GRUBs.-ln old soils all the
cabbage kind has a tendency to form
club roots, owing to the attacks of the
cabbage grub or larvae, of "A small in
sect belonging to the beetle tribe. The
damage it causes is often a serious
matter for the gardener, as 1t nearly
destroys whole crops, and makes seri-
Gus gaps in the planting. When the
grubs irst attack Il crop there is MOTH
ing to indicate their presence until the
plants begin to turn to an unhealthy
color; then they flag in the sun, and in
a few days the crop is lost. One Of the
best methods Of preventing these inroad
is to make each unpalatable TO the grubs.
In the Spring secure some fresh-burnt
lime, and lett become air-slacked, max,
ing it with IN equal quantity of sooU.
In planting, the holes are made with
the trOwel in the usual way; each
plant is dropped into its hole, an inch
or so of the soil put over the roots, a
good watering given first, lien a mod
crate handful of the SCOT and lime mix
ture thrown in each hole, and the re-
naming soil filed in. Equal parts of
SCOT and finc garden soil, mixed with
water to the consistency of thin mortar,
with the plants dipped into the mixture
up to the base of the leaves before plant
ing, is used to prevent clubbing. Wood
ashes mixed with water and put into
the holes after watering, has been tried
with success.
