SOME FACTS ABOUT RAISINS.
Rapid Growth of Their Culture in Califor-
nia-How They are Cured.
New York Tribune

uld-hO" lheS are Suieus
New York Tribune.
Few people in the East comprehend the
rapid development of the raisin industry
of the Pacific coast, of the acreage de-
voted to it, or the amount of capital
invested. A large proportion of con-
sumers is still under the impression that
Spain furnishes the entire product. John
NJ Chapman, whose firm has been ap-
pointed as agents of the California Dried
Fruit Association, has given the Tribune
reporter some interesting facts about the
management OF this luxurious vine pro-
duct.
Unlike the cultivation of grapes on the
Atlantic seaboards or in the large vine
yards OF Ohio, the vines are grown with
out a trellis, being trained so that the
laterals curve over The stalk, thus pro-
tecting the fruit from the direct rays of
the sun. The best fruit grows close to
the ground, shaded by the broad leaves.
is likely to become sunburned
and can only be used for max
ing second quality raisins. The first crop
natures about August 10 to 20; the So
called second crop from September Is to
October / Vines begin to produce at the
age of three years, and at six years are
in full bearing. An impression prevails
that raisins are made from purple grapes;
on the contrary. the raisin-grape is
tranlucent green. The principal variety
used in California is the White Muscat of
Alexandria.
The preparation of raisins for the mar
ket is rather simple process. The
branches are laid on trays exposed to the
sun; fermentation begins almost immedi-
ately; after two weeks theys are turned
over, when the under side is cured in
about one week longer; the grapes as
Stunning the deep purple tint common to
raisins. Some of the punches after leay-
ing the trays are moist, others are too
dry. To equalize the moisture and make
the goods of uniform consistence the
gIspes are put into sweat-boxes holding

The Deception Practiced Upon a New York

NEW YORK, Dee. l3.-In 1855, when
George Cooper asked Mary A. Cooper to
become his wife she asked him if there
was negro blood in his veins. He had
visited her for a year, but she had been
beguiled into the belief that his silhouette
appearance was due to Portuguese ex-
traction He then positively assured her
that he was white all through, and they
were married. Hearing that he
had relatives in Philadelphia she
later decided to make visit to the home
of her mother-in-law. On inquiry for
that individual there, she was aStounded

misunderstanding. Mrs. Cooper beat a

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. ia rumor
is current here that Sir Spencer st.
John, English minister, will be relieved
and will probably go to Washington to
replace Lord Sackville.
Muricat, minister of foreign affairs, in
referring to President Cleveland 5 mes
sage, said he, believed the difficulty to
arrange reciprocity is now due to delay
and besides the Mexicans consider the
report of the committee insulting. He
denied the veracity of a dispatch from
Montreal respecting a treaty of extra
dition between Mexico and Canada. He
also says the difficulty at Paso del Norte
has been settled, Mexico abiding by the
decision of the engineers. He expresses
faith in President-elect Harrison, and
believes his administration will be friend

THE SOUTH In THE CABINET.
A Suggestion in Behalf of Delaware Ii the South

Cincinnati commercial-G Gazette.


Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There is considerable interest, we are
told, in the circle about General Harri-
son, about building up Southern Repub-
lican sentiment by appointing Southern
Republican to position in the cabinet.
Grant and Hayes experimental IN that
way rather unproftably. 1t is a ques-
ton of men rather than of sections. The
only section that really has claim to a
cabinet place is the Pacific coast. And
we do not consider that any state as state
has a right to demand a cabinet place.
But New York and Pennsylvania have
strong claims.
We will venture to give General Har-
rison a slight suggestion. 1t is, that IL
we were making up a cabinet and thought
the South should have representative,
we would look Delaware over carefully
and see who the man is in that state next
TO the one who is to be elected to the
Senate, in usefulness in the revolution
well started there, and think it Over
whether he would make a good cabinet
tafficer, and if he would try him in recog-
bitiaesof the break iusthe solid South.
