CULTURE OF THE GRAPE.

Requirements Necessary for the Proper Pro-
duction OF the Wood and Fruit.
The conditions most favorable 10 rapid
vine growth are generally well under
stood, but that they are antagonistic to
the production of fruit has been almost
entirely overlooked. There are distinct
stages of growth absolutely necessary TO
the proper production Of wood and fruit.
These arc explained "a follows by Kan
sas horticulturist in Popular Gardening:
Tho one is the terminating, unfolding,
developing and expanding period, tho
other the celebrating, contracting, solid
flying and maturing period. The first pro-
duces rapid and succulent, the latter q
slower and frmcr growth; and condi-
tions beneficial TO the one arc often dctri-
mental to the other.
The first stage of development Is aided
by very high, stimulating culture, tho
latter by the opposite treatment The
ono produces the stock, tho-other tho
fruit. In case of excessive stimulation
the plant becomes too succulcnt 1nd
tender, unable to withstand the vicissi-
tudcs of the climate; in case Of tho op-
positc extreme the plant dies from neg
lect, debility or overbearing.
Upon these principles we base the true
system of pruning, training and culture,
for these different stages of growth must
be kept properly balanced. The first re-
quires deep and thorough cultivation
with considerable moisture and mean
temperature of from 55 to Go dogs,
while the latter needs somewhat shall
low tillage with diminished moisture
and mean temperature of from 20 to
80 degs. To mature the grape requires
10 dess. higher temperature than it does
to grow the vine. This higher tcmpera-
ture is not only necessary 10 elaborate
the sap, but also 10 solidify and mature
the seeds, harden the wood, and to oxi-
dize and diminish tie acid, thus incrcas-
ing and concentrating the sugar All
these processes take place in proportion
to the high temperature and diminished
rain fall of the maturing season.
Everything should be done to give per-
feet surface drainage and free circula-
ton of air, rs nothing tends so much to
diminish tho temperature Of the soil AZ
excessive moisture and shade. Every
inch Of rain absorbed by the soil requires
40 degs. of additional heat TO restore tho
lost equilibrium, and this is equal to the
loss of half day in the ripening of the
grape. This retarding of the maturing
season, by either excessive moisture, low
temperature, cloudincss, uufavorable To-
cation or latitude has the eject Of rcduc-
ing the amount OF sugar ia the grape,
and the saccharomet,r has shown this to
reach O5 dogs Ia - eegs in the above
cases, equal to oue half ui 4 bound of
sugar 10 twelve Poum,s of grapes, or at
tho rate Of six hund,,pt pounds Of sugar
to the acre. Thus the excess of acid re-
duces the value and quality Of ia. fruit.

Simon Greenleaf, the famous law pro-
fessor at Cambridge, and author Of the
best treatise on evidence ever written,
was native of New Gloucester, Me. OF
poor but respectable parents, his early
advantages were extremely limited. He
contrived to study law, and commenced
practice in Gray, little town about
twenty miles north Of Portland. He
was so poor as to DO once arrested for
debt. He removed to Portland, where
he made such a favorable impression
that he was appointed reporter of de-
cisions after Maine became a state, and
acquired a fino reputation. His business
was large, and he stood among the first
when he was invited, through the influ-
ence Of Judge story, to become royal
professor of law at Cambridge, where he
soon acquired q national reputation. The
treatise on evidence was written here.
lie also wrote work in defense Of the
Gospels, which was q failure, inasmuch
as the attempt was made to support the
testimony Of the evangelists by the rules
Of evidence administered in courts of
justice. No genius or learning could
make success Of work on this basis.
The Gospels are true; but the evidence Is
of far higher kind than that admins
tered in courts of justice, although law
yers sometimes affect to DO very wise,
and talk in watery way on this sub
ject. Their efforts In this direction do
not strengthen the evidences, and some-
times tend to throw doubt over what Is
clear enough when seen from another
and proper standpoint. Judge Metcalf,
a sturdy believer of the old sort, was not
deceived by this sort of thing. and pro-
nounccd the work of Mr.. Greenleaf

CHAPER VII.


Cynthia had gone from me, and still
lived cannot say 1t was a very happy,
or'even cheerful life--but l lived. ]
neither took to gambling, drinking. nor
bad company, but became very fond Of
my own society, had set Of chambers
fitted up over the offices, and spent tho
best part OF my time there, smoking a
great deal more than was good for me,
and dwelling upon tho past in way that
was not conducive to good health and
spirits
Whenever met an acquaintance about
town, he told me was looking precious
queer" and advised trip TO Canada or
the States; and knew my mother and
Jem-although the latter had an ap-
preaching crisis Of her own to distract
her thoughts-fretted good do.a about
me. was too selfish, however, to shake
OF the unwholesome depression that held
me fast In its grip.
Living In this deplorable state Of self
concentration, 1t may easily be imagined
that did not trouble myself much about
the well being Of people surrounding me.
Nevertheless, and in spite Of my increas-
ing indifference TO outward events, the
knowledge was abruptly forced upon my
unwilling mind that something was going
wrong with our head clerk Levens For
merly the most steady and sober of men,
he was now-when well on in the ffties
taking to habits of intemperance.
The first time noticed it was one af-
ternoon in the middle of October, when
he had brought a letter to me to read
A fog was gradually settling over the
city, and could not read with ease, so
pushed the matches across to him and
asked him to light the gas.
He lighted it three times, each time
turning it out again when he tried to
moderate the fame.
The fourth time became impatient,
and watched the operation to see what
was wrong His hand was shaking SO
violently that, when he tried TO turn the
tap half way back. he lost all control
over his fingers and put the light out
again.
took the matches from him and
lighted the gas IN myself; but before he left
the room l had one or two good steady
looks at him. What / saw set me won
Aering where my eyes had been not to
have noticed the change that had taken
place In him. His eyes were bloodshot,
his skin bloated and his lips tremulous.
This could not have been the work Of
two or three days ON the spree, but the
result Of some months hard drinking at
the least.
That evening, after dinner, when had
got my favorite pipe going full blast, and
Richards-advanced to the post Of major
domo Of my bachelor establishment-was
clearing away the remains Of the meal,
asked him aquestion or two; and, though

The analyses of snake poisons made
last summer by Drs. Weir Mitchell and
Reichert have been fully confirmed by
other investigators. All Of the venoms
examined are essentially alike; In every
case they are made up Of three proteid
bodies. The first reduces the blood
pressure. induces swelling (9dema) and
finally brings about putrefactive effects.
The second is virulent substance,
one-twentieth OF grain Of which will
kill a pigeon in two hours. 1t gives
rise In few minutes after injection to
enormous infiltration of blood into the
neighbOring tissue. The poisonous
properties OF the third substance are
doubtful. The object of the analysis
is to eliminate the venomous principle,
so that experiments may be made as to
what drug can be used to the best
advantage in neutralizing 1t.

On the State railways in Sweden
there is generally doctor for every
thirty-two miles of line, and in this
way forty-four doctors are employed
by the Government. The private rail-
ways have a similar system. The
medical men examine all applicants for
employment and reject those physically
disqualified, and especially by defects
of sight or hearing. They also give
their services to and attend to all in
iured by accidents on the line, to
regular employees and their families in
sickness, to occasional employees while
engaged in service, and to 1aborers in
the shops who have paid the same
contributions as those engaged In
working the line, and also to their
families. No exception Is made in the
case Of those who suffer from injury or
disease caused by their own fault.
