CULTURE OF cURRANTs IN GREECE


The Garden and Field of Adelaide
South Australia, says in recent Is
sue:
"Our correspondent informs us tha
currant vines are always planted out IN
separate blocks AWAY from other
varieties of vines and never in the prox-
unity of fruit trees. and more esp scially
olive trees, as the latter have been found
to interfere materially with the growth
and yield of. the vines The vines
which are generally planted about five
feet apart each way, are trained as low
bushes and never trellised. The vine
yards are manured every three or four
years with sheep or goat manure. The
yield is also augmented by the annual
practice of ring-barlxlng the stem; this
operation weakens the vines considerably
and ends by killing them.
The vines generally begin to bear at the
eighth year, the maximum results being
obtained between the twelfth and the
twenty-fifth year.
The average yield Of the vineyard
varies greatly with the nature of the
soil. Moist, low lying flats are said to
yield heavier crops, but the finest cur
rants proceed from rising ground and
hill slopes. 1t is estimated that three to
-FOUR POUNDS or 1resn trult ylelu one
pounds of dried currants. 1t would ap-
pear that from q to % cwt. OF dried cur
rants are taken from an acre of good
average land. The low lying flats Of
Pyrgos often yield 43 cwt. of dried fruit.
the vineyards of Patras and Corlnth
from q to 36; whilst those of Vostlzza,
whence proceed the finest currants, very
nearly yield 35 cwt. of dried currants.
1t is STATED that the currants remain on
the drying floors from eight to ten
days.
The cost of cultivation seems to be
very great for country enjoying cheap
labor, rising as 1t does, according to the
provinces, from f6 to f1O per acre. The
value of an acre Of currant vines Is
said to vary from eos to fi2S In the
Vostizza district they often fetch from
f2iO 10 f2SS per acre"

The sealing fleet that went from this
coast early in the year to japanese
waters has fallen upon evil days, and
misfortunes seem to be crowding thick
and fast on the various schooners that
ventured so far westward. The Emma
Louise, with Captain Alexander Mc-Leaa
in command, called at Hakodate with six
of crew of dismasted Japanese
schooner on board. The rescued men
said their vessel was wrecked about 300
miles off the land and that they had
remained by the dismantled hull until
picked up. For ten days they had been
without food and water. Captain Nc
Lean set fire to the derellct schooner and
remained by her until she sank, so as
to prevent her being a danger to other
vessels. The Emma Louise reported los
ing three of her boats while sailing. One
of them was afterwards picked up by
the Therese, another was reported as
being safe on the schooner Bonanza,
but the crew of the third had not been
heard from when the Belgic sailed and IL
was thought that they had been lost.
The Josephine, an American schooner
called at Hakodate to repair leak One
Of her seams on the port side opened out
while her boats were out, and they had
to be hurriedly called in and the vessel
headed for land, fearing that the leak
would be more dangerous than 1t proved
to be when the schooner was put on the
ways. Three men belonging to the
schooner Eppinger were cast ashore about
twenty-five miles south of Aomori, and
they were sent to Hakodate. They said
they became separated from the
schooner in fog while hunting, and they
were four days in the boat before they
made land.

BOTH CANNOT BE GUILTY.
A Peculiar Case In England For which
Two People Are Being Punished.

A Peculiar Case In England For Which
Two People Are Being Punished.
A peculiar state of affairs has arisen
in a case which was before Lord Chief
Justice Russell a few weeks ago. A
man named Kelsall was convicted at
Manchester in May, 1892, for man
slaughter i'll killing his wife by throw
ing lighted lamp at her. The principal
witness against him was the sister of
the wife, who gave circumstantial ac-
count of the affair, showing that the
husbands act was deliberate and I'M
provoked. Kelsall was sentenced to Ia
years in prison. A few months ago the
woman who testified against him con-
.fessed that her story was untrue. She
insisted upon telling the authorities,
but the judges at first refused to listen
to her. At last an accusation of perjury
was made, and she insisted upon plead
ing guilty. Lord Chief Justice Russell
sentenced her to seven years penal servl-
tude. KelsaIl still remains in custody,
as it seemed impossible to decide wheth-
er there was sufficient cause for setting
aside the verdict.

Fifty third congress caused by the death
of Hon. nj. C.Lisle. relates a striking
instance Of it. One year ago the judge
was n member Of the Kentucky leglsla-

When Judge Beckner came on to
Washington last fall, he was introduced
to Senator Hill, who instantly said: !

for that resolution in the Kentucky leg
islature last winter. 1t came at good
time. -
The Judge is warm friend of Presl-
dent Cleveland, but lo regards Hill as
one of the ablest politicians that the

the other day, "about public questions,

A DEATH DANCE.
Standing In Front of NJ rror, She Kicked
and Sang Until She Fell.


Wanda Won Flander performed skirt
dance in front of mirror after she had
taken enough poison to kill dozen
girls.
She is a waitress in New York coffee
house and won notQriety as a high
kicker. She was so fond of displaying
her accomplishment i'll this line that
several proprietresses discharged her,
and crowd of admirers always fol-
lowed the girl to the coffee houses where
she got employment.
In the Cafe Royal, where she slipped
coffee and brandy with guests, six weeks
ago she met a young man known as
Billy.
Wanda and Billy fell in love. He
haunted the cafe and spent money
freely. The capers of the girl ana her
high kicking did not please the pro-
prietresS. who told Wanda to leave.
She then went to the Cafe Anchor
and had worked there only short time
before her ability to kick off mems hats
got her into disgrace. The proprietress
scolded her, and Wanda tried to kill
herself by taking poison, but the drug
was snatched away from her before she
had swallowed any of it.
Billy then took her from the coffee
house and told her he was going to
marry her. He hired room for her
from Mrs. Kern, paid her bills and
called on her evenings. They quarreled,
and for the last week he has not been to
see the girl. She grew Respondent and
threatened to kill herself.
The other evening she bounded into
the room where Mrs. Kern was sitting
and began skirt dance in front of a
big mirror.
ST have taken poison and am glad of
it" she sang as she danced. Tim 60

happiest moment of my life My trou-
bles are nearly over. Gayly have lived,
and intend to be as merry in the next
world as / have been in this. l shall
have good time, no matter in what
world l am cast. !"
She danced and kicked higher than
her head as she sang She whirled about
and seemed to be mad. Mrs. Kern had
often seen her dance wildly, and she
did not pay much attention to her an
tics. She did not believe the girl had
taken poison.
Wanda had danced for five minutes
before she fell to the floor. The poison
had begun to work. She became vio-
lently i'll. Mrs. Kern helped her to a
lounge, then hurried to a drug store
and got some mustard, which she mixed
with water and tried to get the girl to

Parts of the Physical System Which Never
Wear Out.

In his work on the Senile heart DIR.
Balfour tells us that there are two parts
of the human organism which. if wisely
used, largely escape scnilc failure"
These two, says the Medical Record,
are the brain and the heart. Persons
who think AVE often wondered vvhy
brain workers, great statesmen and
others, should continue to work with
almost unimpaircd mcntal activity and
energy up to n period when most of the
organs and functions OF the body are in
n condition of advanced senilc decay.
There isa physiological reason for this,
and DR.. Balfour tells us what it is. The
normal brain, he afiirms, remains viror-
Gus to the last" and that because it's
nutrition is especially provided for"
About middle life, or q little later, the
general arteries of the body begin to
lose tlIrir elasticity and to slowly but
surely dilatc. They become, therefore,
much less efficient carriers Of the nu-
timcnt blood to the capillary areas.
But this is not the case with the in
ternal carotids, which supply the cap
Hilary areas of the brain. On the con-
trary, these large vessels, continue to
retain their pristine elasticity, so that
the blood pressure remains normally
higher than within the capillary area
of any other organ in the body. The
cerebral blood paths being thus kept
open, the brain tissue is kept better
nourished than the other tissues of the
body"
