THE CULTURE OF GRAPES.
Row the Industry Began In Cbautauqus
County, New York-The Pickers.

Il
A score Of years ago when a man named
Harris came from England and founded q
community" at Brockton, in the township
Of Portland, about midway on the Lake
Shore railroad from Buffalo to Erie, he saw
the adaptabiIity Of the region to the culture
Of the grape, and began a vineyard which
has since become famous, and the reputation
Of which would have become still more ex-
tended but for the disruption OF the settle
ment But the start made at that time has
given Brockton the lead in grape growing,
and it is now the recognized centre OF the III
dustry, with the only wine cellars and the
largest shipping station.
kn the township Of Portland there are now
5000 acres devoted to grapes, and the yield
under careful management is from three TO
eight tons per acre.
The Concord is the standard grape, and
probably seven-tenths of all the grapes grown
on the lake shore are Of this variety, as 1t is
hardy, a large producer, stands Transports
ton well, and can DO preserved for months.
But the Niagara is q fayorite variety, white,
not unlike the Malaga grape in appearance,
and Of very delicate flavor. While all the
grapes require much care especially in the
early part of the season, more than the usual
time and labor are spent on the Niagaras,
some Of the growers oven going to the ex-
treme Of tying paper bags over the lunches
when partly grown to prevent brusing and
mildew. To stranger the sight Of n ten acre
lot Of grape vines bearing brown paper bags
is enough TO excite the risibilties. In one
vineyard this season 20, 600 Of these bags were
hus used.
The harvesting Of the grape crop is the
period Of anxiety for the yinicuiturst and,
ike the hop grower, he brings all the force
possible into extraordinarily "his sisters
and his cousins and his aunts" When the
harvest is about TO begin the housewife cooks
many times the usual quantity Of food and
Until the vines have been robbed Of their
punches Of fruit little attention is paid to
creature comforts. From early in the morn
Ing until dusk the vineyards swarm with
pickors, and the punches are carefully clip
ped from the stalks and packed in baskets or
trays, some of them being wrapped in tissue
paper 70 insure their reaching market in the
best possible condition. Only the small and
imperfect lunches are sent 10 the wine eel
lars. The markets for the grapes are princi-
pally in the west, Chicago taking the bulk Of
the product
The wine cellars at Brockton have n stor-
age capacity Of about 10000 gallons, and are
not large enough TO meet the demands Of the
trade. as several of the western railways
are using the wines in their buffet cars and
station refreshment rooms. The wines sell
from one to several dollars per gallon. Some
II the grape growers whose temperance pro
civities prevent their selling refuse punches
10 the cellars, scald the juice and preserve it,
and the beverage would rot offend con
noisseur, while the natives esteem it highly.

Restaurunfs for Business Women.

Tue business Of carrying on restaurants
with an eye 10 female customers is probably
distinctively American and reaches its eli
max in the great shopping districts of New
York city Year by year these women's
restaurants become moro numerous and
mere extensively fitted up They are even
extending down tOwnS0r the use Of business
women, and they all seem TO make money.
There seems 10 he n considerable change
too, in the quantity and quality of luncheon
now thought TO be sufficient for women and
girls who earn their own living. Years age
tin boxes or parcels or baskets containing
luncheons used 10 be a common and con
spicuous feature Of the early morning down
town street ears and their owners ate bread
and butter, sandwiches, cake, fruit, etc.
at Noon, without leaving their desks or
counters.
Many do this still, but the number is far
below what it used 10 be and grows rapidly
less. even nmcng the very poor, aud the
habit of visiting restaurants aud taking hot
luncheons, more or less substantial is grow
ing in favor. Indeed, women whose noon
time rest is limited are often seen standing
up at the regular luncheon counters, gulping
down solids, liquids and semisolids pell mel,
in the style OF your true business man.
Plenty Of these downtown typewriter girls
spend fifty cents a day on luncheon, and up
town about Fourteenth street, where shop
girls and milliners assistants abound, they
spend about twenty-five cents. Even factory
girls send out at noon for dainties from
neignboring cook shops, aud among work

Gen. Sherman's Story in the North
American Review Badly Mixed.

Gen. sherman's Story in the North
American Review Badly Mixed.
Maj. George w. Anderson, vino is now
cotton buyer in this city, was seen for few
minutes yesterday, aud was asked about the
story told about him by Gen. Sherman, in
the latter's article in the last number of the
North american RerietO, published in yes
terday's MORNING NEWS.
The gallant confederate defender of Fort
McAllister was busily engaged in examn.
ing cotton samples whom he was asked
if he had read the story about
himself He replied that he had, but he
would scarcely recognize it, he said, as a
statement of what really occurred The
major said that it was not his servant but
Major Mott Middleton's that was waiting
on Gen. HaZen. The boys master had dis
appeared after the fight and Major Ander-
sou was anxious to find out whether he was
alive or dead. He asked the boy what he was
doing there and what had become of his
master.
Maj. Anderson said that he did not care
to be interviewed, as the story was
not worthy of correction. 1t was of little
consequence whether what Gen. Sherman
stated was true or not. He said that Gen
Sherman asked him in a very insulting tone
if he thought it was honorable to use tor
pedoes in war, and added that he supposed
that was specimen Of southern
chivalry. The major says that Gen. Sher-
man made the confederate prisoners go out
and search for the torpedoes, and person
ally instructed the federal guards who were
sent with them to ''shoot like dog any
man who heSitated.n The men had to work
on their hands and knees and feel in the
sand for those destructive explosives, placed
there to protect their homes from the in
vaders.
Maj. Anderson's body servant, Old Sandy
DeLvon was well known in this city. He
was for years, before and after the war,
porter in the office of the majors father,
and afterward in his own office Old Sandy
never waited on federal officers. He was
too proud of his being a trusted servant in
southern family to do that. A year or so
after the war Sandy had a fight with an
ex-federal officer at the corner of Brough-
ton and Bull streets for insulting him, or
some of his friends. Incidents of Gen.
Shermans campaign around Savannah
(aud then through Carolina) are not pleas
ant reading for southern people, and are
probably not intended to be, but 1t ap-
pears that even what Gen. Sherman tells as
| humorous personal incidents of that trying
period of the south, will not stand investi-
