How to preserve Ripe Grapes.

7 y s s. FL d Ii
Burying in Jars, waxing the end Of each cIls-
ter, wrapping in paper, using cotton or saw
dust are variously advised for keeping grapes,
but all those methods are too ftissy complicated
and unnecessary. Grapes will, without apec-
ial treatment, keep about IS well as apples, if
the temperature is cool enough, and not too
damp or dry. At our great vineyards the
grapes are gathered from the vines into keep
ing boxes about three feet long, eighteen inches
wide, and ten inches deep, the sides tapsring to
prevent the weight of the fruit pressing tcs
heavily on that beneath. The grapes should
be handled as little as possible; they are placea
In the boxes as picked, and not disturbed again
for several months, being Immediately stored
in cool, dry cellars until the market suits
the grower--often until January Or Feb
ruary They are then packed in boxes Of
different sizes the market may demand,
and shipped i'll cases. The fruit must he ripe
--imperfectly ripened grapes will not keep by
any method Select kinds that have thick skin
Isabella are good keepers, but they are too
late in ripening for most localities. Agawan,
Salem, Lindly and Diana are better. Concord
is not considered u good keeper, but can often
be kept until February When first picked,
the house cellar is the coolest place farmer
has, so put them there. AS the season advan-
ces and the cellar windows are closed the eel
lar becomes too warm. No fruit should be
kept in the house cellar then, AS tho cold
weather comes on, place the baskets Of grapes
in a room where they will be kept as cool as
possible and will not freeze, and where il is
not too dry. II there should be danger Of
frost, throw heavy blanket over pile Of tho
baskets. The grapes will stand considerable
cold, but will not endure warmth Grapes in
winter are a great luxury, and withal health
full and appetizing. Sacramento, Cal Bee

Rem edY for rheumatism.

To medical man the announcement Of q
remedy for rheumatism is about as definite az
aremedy for illness. There are various forms
of rheumatism, and any part Of tho body may
be affected It is therefore absurd to claim
that the same. remedy will relieve all cases.
But there is q form of the complaint that is
very common in malarial districts, for which
we would suggest treatment that has been
highly commended by persons who have en-
ployed it.
Take one or two teaspoonfuls of Rochelle
salts i'll half glass Of cold water; follow this
Immediately with glass Of lemonade, which
contains all the juice of large lemon, and the
requisite quantity Of sugar to render it pleas
ant to drink. This simple treat1nent may be
employed once or twice O day, according to
he severity Of the rheumatism. We are as
sured that this plan will curein eight to twelve
days any rheumatism of miasmatio character
The treatment is indeed based on scientific
principles. Citric acid separates any excess
IF bile from the blood, and the Rochelle salts
hastens it's elimination from the system This
sorm OF rheumatism depends upon an un-
healthy condition of the blood caused by ma
arial poison; consequently no form Of treat
nent could be more rational than the one
above suggested And nothing can be more
absurd than to expect to cure rheumatism with
Gniments and massage alone. These are sim
ply useful in afording relief until more
thorough remedies have time to act--Halls s

Whitewash.

4 The wholesomeness of q dwelling is much

This is particularly important in hot weather
aud when there is reason to fear an epidemic.
The finer whitewash, made with whiting and
size, may be used on interior wallis and ceilings.
It is made by pouring water on cakes Of whit
Ing and stirring until the liquid is like q thin
cream, when . small quantity OF warm size or
dissolved glue is added to prevent the color
rubbing off II is necessary first to remove
the dirt and the old Whitewash By washing it
lway with brush and plenty Of clean water.
But for purifying purposes there is nothing
made BY placing in q pail some freshly burned
quick lime and pouring in sufficient water to
cover it H the lime is fresh, great heat is
Eiyen out and the lime gradually crumbles in

seed oil, sold by all paint dealers and druggists
should then be added in the proportion Of
one pint to each gallon Of wash For cheap
ness any refuse fat, snch as dripping, may be
used instead of the oil This is necessary to
fix the wash and prevent it's rubbing off. The
whole is then to be thinned with water TO the

The Warl1ke Aspect Of Base Ball.
From tho New York Hour -.
The so-called national game Of base
ball israpidly assuming the aspect of an
armed candict between opposing forces.
It is probable that there is not single
totally unfractured player in the land,
and the number killed or fatally wound
ed on the ball-feld foots up an aggre-
gate that might put many q respectable
battlefield to shame. OF course these
chances Of manning or slaughter lend
additional excitement to the spectators,
if not TO the play yers, but apparently
not enough. A tendency has lately
been exhibited to give q browning finish
to the game by immo1 1ating the umpire
at its close. Within d fortnight three Of
these unhappy officials narrowly es-
capped with their lives and q choice as
sortment Of bruises Nov, this was
plainly unreasonable. Base ball is
pfayed to furnish sport TO the public,
who certainly pay well for it, and if the.
death OF the umpire Is necessary to top
off the public's pleasure, why should he

Oiliug Wagon " heels.

A well made wheel will endure constant wear
from ten to twenty five years, if care is taken
to use the right kind and proper amount OF
grease, but if this matter is not attended to it
will be used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used On a wagon, for it will
penetrate the hub and work its way out around

the best 1ubricator for wooden axle trees and

axle greases are also excellent, and have the
merit of being cheaper and easier to handle.
just grease enough should be applied to ths

This is better than more, for the surplus put
