The Wine Crop.

From the accounts which come from
Napa of reduced production, We were
compelled last week to reduce our esti-
mates of the States production of wine
this year by one million gallons. We
now learn that Sonoma county has
fallen off probably half a million gallons
The southern district, Los Angeles and
contiguous counties, will make less wine,
though opinions vary on the total
From the best information we can gath
er, we have formed the opinion that the
crop will be less than 1900, 900 gallons
and probably not very much over S,000,-
900, the smallest crop we have had fol
five years.
Thus if we have full crop in 1884,
which should, counting the new vine
yards, be 100000 to 10000, 900 gal
Ions, it will find us actually without
wine in dealers hands. The city of San
Francisco alone can consume one-half
the wine we have made this year. So
much for drought and red hot northers.
California brandes continue in de-
mand at prices within the range of our
quotations. f. Merchant

How to Avoid Getting Fat.

A new book on "Corpulence and its
Treatment" has lately been published in
Germany by Prof. Ebstein, OF Gottin-
gen. He is not, like the English Savior
OF the stout" full of oyerflowing thank.
fulness for relief from the disease; prob
ably he has not even suffered from it, for
col pulent men are rarely stern and
strict. His method also differs from
that of Ranting. According to Ebstein,
the primary cause OF corpulency is the
want of sufficient energy to renounce
the so.called attractions of life. He
firmly maintains that fat is produced
merely by over-eating and drinking.
Water and drinking cures are altogether
condemned by Prof. Ebstein; and while
the Ranting system teaches that Fat
makes fat" this doctrine is directly op-
posed by Prof. Ebstein, in whose ideal
of fare for those suffering from corpu-
lency fat forms great feature. "The
$50 grammes of bacon,' says Prof. Eb.
stein, (which our Emperor ordered to
be delivered daily to all soldiers taking
part in the French campaign of 1870 are,
so to speak, an official acknowledgment
of the importance of fat in the rational
nourishment of Woodworking man,"
The annexed bill of fare is that pro.
posed by Prof. Ebstein for an average
case of corpulency, the invalid being
supposed to be Al years of age, and hav-
ing suffered from increasing stoutness
for twenty-five years. The disease is
supposed to be contracted by insufficient
bodily exercise, dict consisting OF such
things as are hurtful, among which are
named all sweet dishes and those con
tanning much albumen and those devoid
of certain quantity of fat;
"Breakfast-A large cup of black tea
without milk or sugar; fifty grammes OF
white bread or brown bread, with plenty
of butter.
"Soup Frequently and with bone mar
row., 100 to lS0 grammes meat, boiled or
roasted, with fat gravy-fat meat being
preferable; small quantity ofvegetables,
particularly leguminous. but also all
kinds of cabbage. Turnips are excluded
because of the sugar in them; potatoes
are altogether excluded. After dinner
some fresh fruit, when in season, as des.
sert; salad or baked fruit without
sugar, Two or three glasses of a light
wine. Soon after dinner large cup of
black tea, without milk or sugar.
"Supper-ln winter regularly, in sum
mer occasionally, large cup of black
tea without milk and sugar. An egg or
some fat roast meat, or both, sometimes
fat ham, smoked or fresh fish, about
thirty grammes OF white bread, with
plenty of butter, and occasionally a
small quantity OF cheese and some fresh
fruit.

The End of the World.
lLondon Graphic. !

The end OF the world is confidently
predicted by deyout Moslems to be ap.

melan thirteenth century on November
Sth. Tradition declares that in the pres.
ent month during the Ramadan fast,
the sun shall rise in the west, the day OF
mercy and forgiveness shall cease, and
that OF judgment and retribution begin,
Thus, proclamation has been issued
from Mecca, warning all true beliey.
ers to prepare for the coming day,
which, the Times of India tells us
has been widely circulated, and has
created great impression. A fanatical
pilgrim to the Prophets tomb at Medina,
Muhammed Saleb, declares that Moham'
med appeared to him in dream last
March, and warned him of the approach
ing end. There are twenty five signs Ia
be fulfilled before the Great Day, and
some of these the Mohammedans al
ready recognize, the closing sign being
the coming OF Imam Mahdi, the Director,
with his troops bearing black ensigns,
and mighty wind which shall sweep
away the souls of all whe have but Q
grain of faith in their hearts. After
the Mahdis reign the trumpet will
sound two blasts, the dead shall rise,
and the judgment begin.
