Raisin Making.

The United States is the greatest
raisin consuming country in the world,
and uses annually more raisins than the
whole of Europe. This market is mainly
supplied from Spain, the raisins known as
"Malagas" being considered the best.
They come from comparatively mar
row strip of country in the south O.
Spain, which has hitherto been regarded
as surprising all other regions for raisins
of that character. The annual yield of
Malaga grapes averages ., 100000 boxes
of thirty pounds each. 1t sometimes.
reaches 100000 boxes, and last season
about 100000 boxes were marketed.
Of this enormous yield the United States
takes fully one-half, on which it pays a
duty-as on all other raisins-of two and
a half cents per pound. The American
raisins are made from white grape, the
"Muscat of Alexandra" to the raising of
which the soil and climate of large
portion of California are well adapted.

The Bitter Bit.

A Sheffield, Eng, paper tells good
story of a revenue officer and chemist
in that town. The former wanted tc
catch the chemist mapping by getting
him to sell and deliver two gallons Of
methylated spirits. The chemist sold
the spirits and got his cash. He Jumped"
to the officers little game, however, and
knowing that though he could sell two
gallons, he could not legally deliver
more than one per day, sent half the
quantity to his customer. Then that
officer was angry, and wanted to know
why the ewhole had not been sent: "Oh,"
alarmed; you'll get the rest tomorrow"
The officer, seeing he was dropped
upon," got angrier still, and wanted his
money back. Not so-the man of medi-
cine was fairly satisfied with the transac-
tion as it stood, and the customer has
more methylated spirits than he knows
very we'll what to do with

Prof. Swing On Good Times.

Professor Swing remarks that it will
be great mistake and a great misfortune
if the return of good times shall bring
back the old fervor for property and ad-
ventures which made mortgages among
the most popular things of the day.
Mortgages" he adds, "are pestilence,
and debts are regular cholera. Estates
die under them. Churches sicken and
have to be sat up with at night; individ-
uals pine away, wives and children be-
come disheartened in the mortage season,
and the financial grave-digger is busy
day and night. Swamps and dirty houses
were the black death of Europe-debts
are the plague of America"

ANY ONE who has travelled along the
railroads that traverse the coal regions of
Pennsylvania, must have noticed the
huge black hills that stand beside every
colliery. These mountains are coal waste,
and have hitherto been, not only useless,
but cumberers of the ground. 1t is esti-
mated that twenty million tons of this
refuse is produced every year, and it has
been problem long thought over by
owners, what to do with this waste.
Some years ago 4 Pennsylvania man pat
tented a plan by which the finer portions
of the waste was to be pressed into bricks
fit for use as fuel, but the expense of
manufacturing is greater than the profit
accruing, so that plan fell through. Now,
however, Il locomotive has been con-
structed that will use this waste as fuel
without any special preparation, except
screening. It is expected that over lO0,-
600 tons will be used this year and when
stationary engines get to use the waste,
those immense black mounds will rapidly
d sappear from the landscape of Pennsyl-
E.nia.

Pierce was admitted to the ministry at
the first Georgia conference in Macon,
January 5, 1881. His career is of more
recent date and Is part OF contemporary
Methodist history. DR.. Pierce has been a
delegate to every general conference of the
Methodist church, and in 1S4S was the
fraternal messenger sent to the northern
general conference, but was refused adj
mission and recognition. In 1874 he was
one of the three sent in response to those
who came to the southern general con-
ference at Louisville. He was unable
to 90 to the conference north, but wrote
a memorable letter upon the fraternal
relations of the churches. In May,
1874, Bishop Pierce was in Louisville,
attending the general conference, and
last year he was present at the general
conference in Atlanta. One of the most
notable incidents of the conference in
Louisville was little speech he made in
connection with the transaction Of some
conference business. The aged bishop
said:
;"tNIy BELOVED BRETHREN | stand

De very unbecoining in me to congratu-
late you on account of my presence with

than 1 have ever deserved. Ihave never
been left out since the time of my cligi-
Bility as delegate. I have never done
much. l. have always felt inclined to
retire rather than make myself bold and
prominent. (, had no expectation, when
it was announced to me that was elected
to this general conference, that | could
be present with you. 1t may be consid-

in that of our own ministry, that man

Warts on Animals.

Inquiries are made for cure for warts
of different kinds on horses, mules and
cattle. Many remedies are prescribed
many barbarous and cruel to the ami
NAL. I will give you a remedy often
tried and never known to fail: Anoint
the wart three times with clean, fresh
hogs lard, about two days between times.
I have had warts on my horses-bleed-
ing warts of large size, rafting warts
and seed warts, to the number of more
than one hundred on one horses head.
have never been able to find the warts
for the third application of the lard.
All disappear after the second applica-
tion.
have sent this prescription to several
agricultural papers, hoping it would be Of
some use to farmers. But they all
seem slow to believe; perhaps because
the remedy is at hand and costs nothing.
It ought to be at the head fthe veterinary
column of every agricultural paper. I
own I was slow to believe myself, but
having a fine young mare with large
bleeding warts that covered part of
the bride and girths with blood when
ever used, thought there would be no
harm in trying lard on them. When the
mare was got up for the third applica-
tion there were no warts and the scars
are there now after more than fifteen
years, with very little change.
Right here I may say that for cuts,
bruises, gals, etc., the application of fresh
lard-either for man or beasts worth
more than any patent liniments in use.
1t will relieve pain instantly and does
not irritate raw flesh, as all lniments do.
Let all papers wishing to benefit the
farmer and his friend, the horse. copy
thls-not once, but often enough that all
NAV learn.-T p. Richardson.
