A Bad Year for Grapes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-Reports re-
ceived by the viticultural commission
ers today from vineyardists throughout
the state are not very encouraging. In
their judgment the grape crop will
hardly come up to the average of other
years. In Fresno county and through
the San Joaquin valley most of the
grapes will be made into sweet wines.
In those places the raisin crop will be
about 10 per cent. less than usual. Crops
are late in all sections, and unless lain
falls soon, or there are continued fogs,
the wines will be poor, light and acid.
The same state of affairs exists in the
Santa Clara valley, at Livermore, the
Mission, San Jose, Napa and Sonoma,
and to certain degree at Vina.

The wonderful performance of Nancy
Hanks at Independence has been briefly
chronicled by telegraph. 7 he following
additional particulars will be read with
interest by every reader of this column:
At 2 O'Clock the great 5-year-old ap-
peared Nancy Hanks sold for $500,
Allerton $235 and Margaret $50. Nancy
Hanks struck out from the first for
the prize, and trotted it even with
Allerton to. the first half.
She then gained slowly but
perceptibly, and at the third
quarter claimed a length. A break for
Allerton on the home stretch gave the
heat to Nancy Hanks. An appreciative
audience demonstrated their feelings in
shouts and yells when the time-2 :12-
was announced. The second heat was
but a repetition of the first, with the
time half second slower.
In the third heat Allerton had the ad
vantage of half length, but broke
badly on the down stretch, and Margaret
S. trotted a speedy quarter here, but
was compelled to resign the second
place to Allerton at the half. On the
home stretch Allerton was safely steered
over the breaking ground but lost time
in the effort, and Nancy won the heat
and race by three lengths. Again in
the wonderful time of 212, the three
fastest heats ever trotted in race. The
quarters were: 0:3215, 1:051a, 1:39.

Form in Writing Letters.

It is preferable, or at least permissi- ble, in social "notes" to make slight distinction in the form with business communication. If you are writing to your lawyer on business, put address and date distinctly at the upper right hand of the page; if you are writing to him to thank him for basket of flow CTS or to accept an invitation to drive, omit the date and put Thursday after noon" or Monday" below and at the left of your signature, and if the ad- dress is not engraved at the top of the page, that may Or may not, as you choose, go below the day.

Tennyson and His Clay Pipes.

Alfred Tennyson, the greatest living poet, has shown his appreciation of to- bacco in deeds rather than in words. For nearly fifty years he has been 2 steady smoker. His finest fancies have come to him amid the curling wreaths of his pipe. For pipe and not his cigar is his habit. Partagas, regalias and cabanas have no charm for him. Of all the pipes in the world the common clay pipe is his choice. His den is at the top of the house. When in the morning he sets down to work, the aromatic weed is before him in an urn large enough to contain the budget of the chancellor of the exchequer and dainty enough to be q casket for Cleopatra's jewels.
 A box full of white clay pipes is at his side; filling one of iiiese he smokes until it is empty, breaks it in twain and throws the fragments into another box prepared for their reception; then he pulls out a fresh pipe, fills it, smokes it and destroys it as before. He will not smoke d pipe second time.-New York Sun.

 ALAS! AND HosANNAH!
 After a moments silence by both hills the Acropolis moaned out in the darkness, Alas! Alas!" and Mars Hill responded, "Hosannah! Hosannahp Then the voices of both hills became indistlnct, and as passed on and away in the twilight seemed to hear only two sounds-a fragment of Peptelicon- marble from the architrave of the Acrop- oils dropping down on the ruins of shattered idol, and the other sound seemed to come from the rock on Mars Hill, from which we had just descended.

Sight Draftn.

The sight draft is an institution almost, if not entirely, peculiar to this country, and think myself it is one of the most unfortunate of commercial customs. l know one man whose signature is good for almost any amount, but who will never honor a sight draft.
 If he is notified that one has been drawn on him he promptly remits by certified check or bankers draft and lets the sight draft go to protest. AS result his credit has been ruined at one hundred banks and his rating is comparatively bad.
 It is utterly unjust to condemn man for refusing to honor one of these instru- ments, as they can be drawn upon with out any reason whatever, and without the slightest evidence of indebtedness.
 Banks have again and again agitated the question of refusing to accept draft for collection without prepayment of charges; but this has not been done, and at the present time money is actually lost in this branch of the business.-St. Louis lobe-Democrat.

THE TREE | LOVE.

In the house of my God many trees there are, On the banks of the Beautiful river Cedars of Lebanon, rich and rare; The Tree of Life, whose broad leaves are For the healing of nations; the fig tree, too, Once withered by Truth, now by Truth made
 new.
 But the tree love in the sacred sod On the banks or the Beautiful river, Is the tree where the sweet tired Psalmist
 stood
 In his harp's selah, with soul a-quiver- Is the green olive tree in the home of my God. And trust in His mercy forever and ever.
