An AIbino Among swallows.

On Thursday last, writes corre-
spondent of the London Times, when
l arrived at Westgate- on-Sea, | was
told by my gardener that a white swal-
low had been seen during the last few
days at Birchington, village about
two miles from here. determined
to 90 over ann see it next day. Alasl
before | arrived there the bird had
disappeared. On the same evening it
was brought 10 me alive, with one
wing shattered by gunshot. Its
beauty had proved its doom, and, as
if rare loveliness were crime, price
had been put on its head, and several
men with guns, not licensed, had been
watching for it. The man who struck
ii lost it in the long grass of a
meadow, and some hours afterward it
was picked up by two little boys.
With great care aud attention have
been able to keep il alive, and, so far,
save it from The birdstutier. 1t now
readily takes flies from ones hand, and
is very tame; bul through the cruel
cupidity of so-calIed bird collectors, it
will never be able to fly again, and a
beautiful rarity of nature. with its
now-white win glistening In the
sun, has been lost. The eyes have a
pink tinge, and the under part of the
body is pure white; the head, back,
and upper part of the wings are of 3
pretty light mouse color.

.Wakipg,, the Dead.

said well-known embalmer of this
city, speaking Of waking the dead:
"The custom is almost universal, and
in some form is observed by every
race and tribe whether civilized or
barbarous. In this country we are
apt to associate wakes with the Catho-
lie people, but the sitting up with the
body after death, and especially dur
ing the night time, from time out of
mind has been practised by those of
every other creed,
This custom probably originated
when embalming aud undertaking
were very crude and in their infancy,
and the dread of dear friends and
relatives at leaving the bodies of their
loved ones alone over night, and to
prevent any Injury TO the body,
watchers selected or appointed, who
sat up all night and took turns in
looking after the condition of the
body. Then the doubt in many peo-
pies minds that their lifeless ones are
not really dead is another reason for
the custom. > Philadelphia Press.

THE GRAPE INDUSTRY.
Enormous Quantities of the Fruit Raise
In New York and Ohio.


Enormous Quantities of the Fruit Raised
In New York and Ohio.
The growing of grapes has come to
be an important industry in New York
and Ohio. In the western part Of the
Empire State lie Lakes Seneca. Keuka.s
Canandaigua, Cayuga and Chautauqua.
and In this beautiful region "a, 900 acres
are devoted to the raising Of perhaps
the most delicious grapes grown in the
world. Besides this area the Hudson
River district embraces $4,000 acres de-
voted to viticulture.
There are in Ohio 10000 acres of
grape land. The amount OF grapes
which these two States contribute to
the markets OF the country is enormous.
In 1890, when statistics OF viticulture'
were collected for the first time, 1t was
found that New York sold that season
$4,000 tons or 100000, 900 pounds of
grapes for table use. This was 22,000l
tons more than California sold for the
same purpose, but the latter State sent,
$4,000 tons TO the wine presses. This.
season the crop in this State Is much
reduced on account Of the ravages of,
the black rot, and the yield OF the lake
region this year is estimated at IS, 00c,-
900 pounds. In Ohio the annual yield;
is 10000 tons OF table grapes, but the,
wine industry is consuming large guam
titles Of grapes, some of the cellars I'M
Ohio having a capacity OF 900, 900 gall
Ions Of wine.
The grape industry in this State was
begun fifty years ago, when 100 pounds
OF grapes were shipped to New York.'
Now capital to the amount of $40, 900 ,000t
Is invested in the grape industry. After,
the war there came an immense boomi
in the grape business. and grape landi
was valued at ST 900 an acre. Then,
came reaetion, tie result OF the busil
ness being overdone and the markets
glutted. In 1ss0-82 came another boom.
Within ten years the area OF grape land
in the Hudson River district has in
creased from 5000 to $4,000 acres; in,
the Lake Keuka district from 5000 to
$4,000 acres; in the Canandaigua dis
triet from 2,0QO e $500 acres; in the
1850 acres lsaf-d0 -ifsiii1 sSdsEVo.i ~.
from 2, 800 to over 1000 acres. Perhaps
the most rapid advance in grape culture
in the State has taken place In the,
Chautauqua district, which includesl
Erie County, pennsylvania. There the
industry liz ten years has grown from
1000 to 10000 acres Of vineyard.

A VERY excellent gentleman, named
Dewey, of Grand Forks was appointed
adjutant general of the state militia by
Governor Miller and was in office when
Governor Burke took charge. Burke
had nothing against Dewey, but wanted
another in the place and he let Dewey
out. Nothing wrong about that. The
other day Dewey was elected justice Of
the peace up in Grand Forks, and some OF
Governor Burke's enemies took occasion
to call his especial attention to the fact
by a special telegram to him at Hot
Springs. AS a joke it was all right, but
it Ill becomes a state paper Of pretended
dignity and condor to use the circum-
stance with malicious intent to belittle
Governor Burke. In no sense or exager-
alton of mind was Governor Burke's &C.
