A GIANT GRAPE VINE

San Diego, (Cal) Union.
MANY Of our readers will remem.
her an item we published about q
year ago in regard to monster
0granevine. of the Mission variety,
Growing on the ranch of William E.
Finn. several miles from the Csjon.
AT that time the reporter took his
measurement all by guess, and that
too. after his return TO town. Not a
few thought our description OF the
big vine a stretch of the reportorial
prerogrstive, yet we have been as
sured by Mr. Finn himself that we
failed to do the vine even justice ;
that it's branches we're longer and
covered a much larger area than was
represeuted Since hen this NOR
ster has continued to grow until lts
accumulated weigh, of branch and
fruit has brought total destruction to
one of the two large oak trees which
snoported it and almost demolished
the domieile of its owner. from
Mr.. Fines driver, who visited our
office yesterday, we learn that the
vine and tie fruits have completely
crushed the tree, tearing 1t out by
it's roots. The size of the vine and
the weight of grapes growing upon
it may be estimated when we say
that the oak tee thus Frustrated,
which ia perfectly sound, is fully two
and half feet 10 diameter and up
wards or sixty feet in height, with
corresponding spread of limbs and
branches. Mr.. Finn estimates that
on that portion of the vine which
destroyed the tree, there were fully
FIVE tons of grapes

DOES HER OWN WoRK.-Does
her own work does she : What of
it? Is it any disgrace2 Is she any
less a true woman, less worthy of
respect than she who sits iu silks and
satins, and is of fingers that never
labor We listened to a person the
other day, who, ,speaking of newly
welded wife, said, sneeringly: "Oh
she does her own work" The
words and tone of contempt in which
they were uttered, betokened mar,
row, ignobIe mind, better fitted for
any place than country whose in,
situations rest upon honorable labor
as one of the chief cornerstones. -
They evinced false idea of the true
basis of society, of the true woman
hood of genuine nobility. They
showed the detestsble spirit of caste
or rank, which certain class are
trying to establish-a caste whose
whole foundation is money, which is
the weakest kind of RANK known to
civilization. Mind, manners, morals
all that enters into good character
are of no account with these social
snoos. Position in their stilted
ranks is bought with gold, and ev,
cry additional dollar is another
round in the ladder by which eleva
ton is gained in their esteem and
society.

PRESERVING WOOD AGAINST De

wood set in mortar is preserved
against decay, and many stories have
been told of the lasting qualities of
wood which had coue in contact
with this substance. A naval jour
mel stated recently that lime-laden
coastipg schooner Of unseasoued
Maine timber, which went ashore
and bilged forty years ago, was
raised some time after and is still ia
service; and an English paper gives
the history of platform of nine
planks, which have been used sue
cessively by fathes, son and gradson
for mixing mortar, was then thrown
aside and allowed to be overgrown
with grass, but when brought to light
again sixty years after, was found to
be still in perfect state of preserva

method based on this principle has
been devised in France, and is sim"

plan is to pile the planks in tank
and to put over all layer of quick
lime, which is gradually Stacked
