lite rocks. The Antelope valley district
embraces points which are some 40
miles apart from each other, Fairmount
and Msnzana being on the one side,
Big Rock creek. Myrtle aud Llano being
on the other side, and Pslmdale lying
between. In theee places, also, the
soil is deep and rich. and there is good
water supply in course of development.
In each district the climate would seem
to be specially adapted for drying fruits.
Fogs are unknown, the nights during
the drying sesson are warm, and the air
is warm and dry.
Last year a report was sent to the
commission that a vineyard in Escondl-
do had been newly attacked by the vine
disease. An investigation was made,
and it was found that the vineyard IN
question was not in the Escondido val
Icy proper, but in a cafion running down
from the valley. A visit was made to
the same vineyard this year, and it was
found that though there were still a
number OF vines diseased, the number
was not so great as it was last year. nor
were the vines 60 badly affected. Some
of the vines appeared to have entirely
recovered. On the other hand several
fresh cases of attack we're found in other
districts, but as rule the disease ap-
pears to be much less deadly than it
was. In the Cucamonga district also
the vines were found to be less affected
than they were last year. In this
connection it must be remembered
that in San Diego, San Bernardino and
Riverside counties the vines have never
suffered from disease to the extent that
they have in some other districts.
The newly set out vineyards in
Orange county have made an exceed
ingly good growth, and in many in
stances show no signs OF disease; yet
many other cases could be found where
the first signs of disease could be easily
seen, though here, as in other districts,
the disease appears to have lost much
of its former destructive power. But it
is still too early to venture upon any
statements on this subject.
I'm some districts there was con-
siderable amount of encouragement
owing to the low prices ruling for grapes,
whether for wine or for raisins. In the
El Cajon and Sweetwater valley dis
tricts the growers have succeeded in
establishing reputation for their own
district by united action in packing
their crops. The greater number OF
growers have packed their crops to-
gether, and go established brand tor
the district, which will be permanent,
no matter how much the ownership OF
the vineyards may change. This ar
rangement has already brought about
good results. in fact, the arrangement
worked so we'll last year that operations
will be carried on on much
larger scaie this ssason It Wouid
probably be we'll for growers in other
districts to adopt some such plan OF
united working as that noticed above,

The French Village Labarer.

The material condition of the day
laborer is much better than it was halt
century ago il every way. Then men
might be seen thrashing the corn in
winter, working by the light of a lamp
from $3.50 a. IN. to p. m, receiving
only sixpence day and their food, and
during the harvest they earned only Is
Cd. day
A farm servant of IA years Of age,
who now earns at least ga year, then
received only his food, the farmer sup
plying him with wooden shoes and a
blouse At II only would he begin to
earn a little money. AS rule, the
French laborer is sober, industrious,
hardworking and thrifty, his chief aim
being to save little money or to buy
land to leave to his children As rule
families are not numerous, and one rare
ly if ever sees such early marriages as
are frequent among the lower classes in
England One reason is that the mill
tary service is compulsory. Every man,
unless physically disabled, is bound to
serve for three years, from 21 to "a, Sc
they cannot marry till this is over, at any
rate; and many do not till much later
However, the military service is certain
ly borne without reluctance and as q
matter of course by most Frenchmen. -

HANDY WITH THEIR FEET.
Hindoos Able to Utilize Their Neither E1-
tremities to Great Advantage.

Hindoos Able to Utilize Their Neither Ex-
tremities to Great Advantage.
In the native quarters of the towns OF
India the strange spectacle may be
seen of butcher seizing piece OF
meat in his hands and cutting it in
two with a stroke Of his knife held be-
tween the first and second toes OF his
foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but
turns the unfinished shoe with his feet,
while his hands are busy in shaping 1t.
So the carpenter holds with his great
toe the board he is cutting, and the wood
turner handles his tools as well with his
toes as with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the hands
in their labor is not, however, the mere
result of practice, but is principally due
to the fact that the Hindoo foot is quite
different from ours in its anatomical
conformation. The ankle of the Hindoo
and the articulation of the back OF the
foot permit considerable lateral motion.
Then the toes possess a surprising mo-
bility The great toe can be moved free
ly in all directions, and the first and sec
ond toes are separated by wide space,
sometimes as much as five-eighths OF an
inch across at the base of the toes ano
two inches at their eXtremities.
The articulation of the hip is also pc
culiar, and this renders it easier to use
the toes in handling the objects by en-
abling the Hindoo to sit in a squattine
posture much more comfortably thai
we can do. A similar formation OF The
feet and toes is found among the An
amese, but it is not, as might be sup
posed, a common thing among barbar
GUS and savage tribes.
One naturally thinks OF the resem
blance to a monkey which human be
ing using both feet and hands in th'
manner described above must present
and yet M. Regnault is careful to poin
out the fact that the Hindoo foot is no
at all like the foot of an ape or monkey
The great toe is not opposed to the othe
toes like thumb, as occurs with tn
monkey, and accordingly the pedal dex
terity of the Hindoos is not to be takel
as an indication of simian descent

A young lady organist in church was
captivated with the young pastor of q
church in the next street and was delight.
ed to hear one week that by exchange he
was to preach the next Sunday in her
own church. The organ was pumped by
an obstreperous old sexton, who would
often stop when he thought the organ
voluntary had lasted long enough. This
day the organist was anxious that all
should go well, and as the service was
about to begin she wrote note intend
ed solely for the sextor's eye. He took
it, and in spite of her agonized beckon-
ings carried it straight to the preacher.
