HOW TO UTILIZE THE SURPLUS
GRAPE CROP.

"A paper read before the Wake County Horti-
cultural Society, July 10, by Gerald Mccarthy,
n. G. Experiment StatiOn.J
The grape crop this year promises to
be everywhere an extraordinary one.
The general failure of the peach and
plum crops, caused by the severe, late
frosts of spring, will undoubtedly in
crease the demand for grapes, but
should the present promise of the crop
hold out there is likely to be glut
which may render it improbable to
ship from this section. In any case
there will be large quantity OF unsafe.
able fruit caused by the rotting of
parts of clusters which are thereby
spoiled for sale as table fruit. How
to utilize this unsaleable fruit is ques-
tion of considerable Importance to our
vineyardists.
UnsaleabIe table grapes may be
utilized in either of the following ways:
1. Made into sterilized unfermented
"wine."
2. Made into fermented wine.
8. Made into brandy or vinegar.

pealed, therefore be it

Ths supervising architect Of the treasury
department does not appear 70 be making
much Roadway with Savannah's public
building. 4 survey OF the site was made a
few weeks ago, but since then absolutely
nothing has been heard Of the matter. 1t
is 70 be hoped that the supervising architect
hasn't the impression that Savannah is in no
hurry for her public building. She would
like to have it just as soon as she can get il.
She would be very much gratified IL work
should be begun upon it at once. The en-
pIoyment of a number Of men upon the
building wonld be quite a help TO her In
these dull times.
The United States court is greatly in
need Of a court room In a different locality
It is almost impossible for the proceedings
TO be heard in the present court room. The
rumbling of the drsys and trucks over the
cobble~stones make a noise that browns the
voices Of the judge aud lawyers.
The last time the public building was
mentioned in our Washington dispatches
it was stated that the plans for it were
being made. They ought to be completed
by this time. 1t has been several years
since the first appropriation was obtained,
and, although delay was made necessary by
the change in the site, no satisfactory
reason has yet been given for 80 great
delay.
II an effort were made to get the super
vising architect to begin work upon the
building at an early day it might be success
full. If a petition signed by a number of
citizens and the judge of the United States
court calling attention to the urgent
necessity for the building were sent to him
it might have good effect.
Comparatively little building will be done
during the approaching summer, perhaps,
and the public building. il it were begun
soon, would afford employment for quite a
number Of people who would otherwise
have nothing to do. And it
will take two years TO complete the build
ing probably after it is begun. If we are
to have it in the very near future therefore
there should be as little delay as possible in
beginning work upon it. Congressman
Lester has done all he can to secure greater
activity with regard to it, and il our citi-
zens were to give him little help he might
be able to get the treasury department to
begin the construction of the building very
soon.

VOLTS First Contribution TO Figaro.

Wolff expOstulAted with the cashier and then
lost bis temper. Forgetting his empty pockets,
be declared that he would rather make Vile
messant-the famous editor Of the Fi0drO-a
present Of his article than 20 accept 80 paltry a
sum- On returning 10 his lodgings, however,
he thought better Of his resolution He had
nothing to eat no money and little credit. and
it was obviously to his advantage to put his
pride in his pocket. Accordingly he sat down
and wrote as follows to the publisher Of the
Figaro:
SIR: have just been Informed that an i'm
post er has presented himself at your office and
applied for the money due me for my article
(37 francs 50 centimesl OF course he thought
the remuneration would be 100 francs. do not
care myself how large or small the honorarium
Is. for lay greater stress upon the fact that
my article was considered worthy of publica-
ton in your journal. That knowledge is more
precious to me than all the treasures Of the
world"
A few days later he received check for 100
francs, accompanied by letter from the great
Villemessant himself, stating that 81 francs 50
confines were In payment for the literary con-
tribution, while the balance was for the ingen-
ious letter he had written. The story has the
merit Of being authentic, says the London
Graphic, for NJ. Wolff himself told il.

Anthony Comstock, who is doing noble
work for the cause of purity in literature

ridicule and senseless criticism. In Mil

took occasion TO severely oriticise Mr.. Com

Of the law. never giving thought, appar-
eutly. TO the fact that if plain, straightfor-
ward inquiries had been made, not thou
sand years would have sufflced to get evil

literature through the mails, and no method
adopted to trap such an incubus on society
can properly be called questionable"
