California Raisins.

Raisin making in California is pro-
crossing each year. Those who have
entered upon the business have not yet
mastered all its details thoroughly, but
the experience of every successive year
gives additional knowledge. There are
now large sections of the State devoted
exclusively to the manufacture of
raisins. The productive vineyards of
some OF the most flourishing of the
Southern California colonies are planted
solely with vines suitable for raisin
making. A paragraph was published
in the Bulletin only day or two ago,
which reports the raisin crop of Santa
Anna settlements this year to be 1900
boxes. The colonies of Central San
Joaquin valley are also given largely to
raisin making. In the vicinity of
Woodland and Davisville, Yolo County,
is another large raisin-making district.
The area planted with the raisin grape
vine is being constantly enlarged, and
new districts each year are coming into
prominence. Comparing box of Cali
fornia made raisins with the best i'm
ported Malaga, no unprecedented expert
will pronouce against the California
cured fruit, except on one point, name
ly, the bloom. SO far as flavor is CON
cerned-size being equal-the Cali
fornia made raisin will be admitted to
be superior. But, as a rule, there is a
total absence of bloom, which gives to
the imported raisin special charm.
Having succeeded, in other respects, in
making splendid commercial product,
California raisin makers are now giving
some attention to the preservation of
the bloom. The absence of this ex-
ternal covering is due to the careless
handling in pinching the fruit from the
vines. Cinnamon are employed chiefly
as pickers, and the raisin-grape grow
ers seem to have great difficulty in eX-
planning to them the necessity of avoid
ing touching the punches of fruit when
they are cut from the vine. When the
hand of the picker seizes tine body of
the bunch the greater portion of the
bloom is at once removed Careless
and hurried handling in drying finishes
the work of destruction, so that when
the fruit is ready for boxing, not a speck
of this delicate frosting is visible on the
skin of the raisin.- Francisco BuL-

Poisonous Authorizations.

Committees of experts tell of adulter-
alton in food that is simply appalling.
Were the ingredients which are mixed
with food innOcuous it would still be a
very great hardship; but when it is
known that the most violent poisoAs are
employed, it is marvel that the whole
country does not rise up and put stop
to such practices and punish all dealers
who use poisonous articles of food. If
confirmation of these startling state
ments were needed one has only to read
the facts recently brought to light in
Chicago, where it is impossible to find
pure sugar and where not ten per cent.
of the milk is good. In that city the
bread, without exception, is poisonous;
the teas were never imported, but are
made of leaves "faced +" with Prussian
blue and chromate of lead. Seventy
five per cent. of the cream of tartar is
white earth, and the coffee is coated
with lamp-black. But Chicago is no
worse than other cities. Baking pow
ders are largely composed of alum
Picking fluid is diluted with sulphuric
acid, alum and verdigris, to give it pc
culiar flavor. The manufacture of a
great deal of our confectionery should
be punished as a crime, for much of the
candy sold to children is simply lump
of white earth, made attractive to the
eye with arSenical paint and sweetened
with glucose. Costly spices are coun-
terfeited in terribly grotesque manner,
the tlavoring being given by the rankest
poisons. In these and other adultera-
lions arsenic plays the largest part. We
import annually 1000, 900 pounds of this
deadly poison-one cents worth of
which would kill $500 people-and the
bulk of this import is used in the prepa-
ration of food and clothing. Food and

dictionary of medical and scientific
terms now in course of publication, he
says that, if its present proportions are
maintained, it win contain over three
hundred thousand terms; and that. at
the present rate of matchmaking. an APP
pendix will be necessary by the begin
ming OF the next century possibly bigger
than the parent book.
This fatal love of long words, he af-
firms, has helped to check the advance
of medical science. In this "pedantio
jargon," mouth becomes the oral ORR
fee; the nose, the olfactory organ; the
skin of the back, the dorsal integument;
touch, tactile sensibility; stomach-ache,
gastralgic crisis; tears, lachrymation;
sweating, diaphoresis.
1t seems TO be the pitiable ambition of
some writers to seize upon trifling fact
and give it the longest name they can
invent, with the aid of "a dictionary.
"Many of our long words,' he says,
exercise a most unwholesome fascina-
ton upon the student, and | have
known some who appear to think that a
parrot-like use of words was the main
use of medicine.
There was a time, perhaps, when
there was very little true knowledge
behind the verbiage which was the chief
stock-in trade of the profession Now
times are changed. 1t is no longer
necessary to give back to the patient in
Greek what he had just told us in En-
glish, and call it a diagnosis. y

Medical Language.

One of the most barbarous uses to
which our language is put is the prev
alent medical style of expression. Ev-
cry science and art has its technical
terms, which are a help to exact thought
and expression. In medical literature
they have become an obstacle to the
mastery of the science, while the ordi-
nary man could as easily master new
language as read an average medical
essay. They seem to have been pre-
pared by ambitious medical Sopho-
mores whom little learning has lifted
above their mother-tongue, SO that they
can only express themselves in sounding
words of Latin origin.

Troublesome Weeds.

Every one has a garden called CONVEX
s@tion. If the unpleasant words which
blossom into thoughts are kept out, the
garden becomes beautiful and interest
ing. There are few kinds of weeds,
which uncOnsciously creep into this gar
den, and unless they are. put down, or
better, pulled out, they injure and spoil
the good flowers.
L. Untruth. This is dark leaved, and
so'small at first that it is scarcely no.
ticed. In its early stages it is called ex-
aggeration. You are not sure whether
you saw three or four things and YOU
say four. The next time the number
becomes larger, and so the weed grows
until it is strong and hardy. Be sure
and pull it up.
2. Slang, This spoils many a garden
of choice flowers. 1t is sometimes over
looked among boys, but is not considered
to have any beauty.
3. Bad grammar. This is common
weed found in the gardens of uneducated
and careless persons. 1t grows slowly
but steadily, and finds place beside the
incest looking flowers. There are a
number of varieties, and among them
are "Iseen," which chokes up :" saw"
or 81 have seen;N ''it's her'n," which
crowds out 9 it is hers,' and sit is me-"
which grows close to the little plant " it
Is l."
4. Gossip. Every one knows this ugly
weed which works mischief wherever it
appears. IL is one of the worst varie-
ties, and has been known to completely
over-run and spoil the gardens in which
il was allowed To GROW
These are the principal weeds which
find their way into the garden of CONVEX
sation. Examine the one belonging to
you and see what weeds are gaining

And Old Aunt Polly saws that boys
Eat twice as much u mon.
There's always something can do
To pass the time away;
The dark comes quick in winter time
a short and stormy day;
And when give my mind to it,
It's just as father says,
almost do Il mans work now,
And help him many ways.

And get all through with school,
I'll show them by-Ind-by that L

I'll take the crops Off this old farm,
I'll do the best can.
A Jolly boy like mo won't be
A dolt when he's man.
Like to hear the old horse neigh

The oxen poke me with their horns
To get their hay at night.

And like to see me come.
