A CALIFORNIA FRUIT Valley
Peaches, Prunes and Grapes Cultivated In
Abundance.

Peaches, Prunes and Grapes cultivated IN
Abundance.
"'Dead sea fruitr That's what /
call it," exclaimed a gentleman, who,
after attempting to eat one of the
largest and most beautiful specimens
of California peaches ever seen in Full
ton market, threw il away in disgust.
And he was right; for, while it was an
object to delight the eye, with its great
size, perfect shape, delicate bloom and
superb coloring, its flavor was decid-
edly vegetable. So New Workers of
experience in such things buy Cali
fornia peaches to look at, and to serve
with the dessert as the crowning orna-
ments of perfect dinner, but lay in
supply of Delawares to eat, while in
Chicago they say: "0h, yes, California
peaches are pretty, but the St. Joe
product is good enough for u.s."
The largest prune orchard in this
country, II not in the world, is located
at Los Gatos (the CATS, on the western
edge of the Santa Clara valley. 1t
contains three hundred and eighty
acres of trees, two hundred of which
are planted to the acre. Over one hum
dred men and a score of teams are con-
stantly employed in this great orchard,
which has its own waterworks and
electric light plant. Its drying ground
Is twenty acres in extent, and it yields
a net income of something like fifty
thousand dollars year.
Near this Los Gatos orchard is
curious factory, said to be the only one
81 s%e - -, h. = fo
tory for the making of grape food, and
1t is devoted to the extracting and
concentrating, but not fermenting, of
grape juice. During the season it con-
sumes fifty tons of grapes every day,
and produces one hundred thousand
gallons of juice, concentrated to one
fourth of its original bulk.
The grapes used in such enormous
quantities in this interesting factory,
both red and white, are wine grapes,
which, as the tourist observer soon
discovers, are very different from
raisin grapes, the former containing
the more juice, and the latter the more
saccharine matter. One of the sur
prising things about a raisin vineyard
is the small size of its vines, which, be-
ing cut every year, are rarely more
than two or three feet high, and the
great size of the bunches- These,
when fully ripe, are cutand laid in shall
low trays between the rows of vines,
where, without the addition of any
sugar, they are allowed to dry in the
sun until they become raisins, which
is all there is to the process.
The most surprising thing of all is
the discovery that all raisin grapes are
white grapes, until they are turned
purple in drying, which is hard to re-
alize, but is nevertheless fact-Har-

ALMOST LOST HIS MILLIONS.
Got Back His Fortress just Before the
Secret Holder Died

Got Back His Fortress just Before the
Secret Holder Died
When up-country last year | heard
that Chowringhee Lall, manager to
Lalla Muttra Pershaud, was in Gwali-
Or on some temporary business, and
called on him, as an old friend, at
place in the Lushl1ar where he was re-
siding.
We discussed the action of govern
ment in closing the mints, and asked
his opinion about the possibility of a
gold standard for India, and mem
toned the fact that certain members of
the Currency association considered the
6fty million pounds of gold would be
sufficient to provide India with gold
currency.
The Lalla laughed the idea to scorn,
and assured me that fifty million
pounds would not suffice to replace the
silver boards of even one state.
You know he said, ''how anxious
the late Maharajah Scindia was to get
back the fortress of Gwalior, but very
few know the real cause prompting
him. That was concealed hoard of
sixty crores sixty million pounds) of
rupees in certain vaults within the
fortress, over which British sentinels
had been walking for about thirty
years, never suspecting the wealth
concealed beneath their feet
Long before the British government
gave back the fortress. every one who
knew the entrance into the concealed
hro ~ da,1
was extremely old, and although in
good health he might have died any
day.
IF that had happened, the treasure
might have been lost to the owner for
ever and to the world for ages, because
there was only one entrance to the
hoard, which was most cunningly con-
cealed, and. except that entrance,
every other part was surrounded by
solid rock.
$50 the maharajah was in such
fix that he must either get back his
fortress or divulge the secret to the
government and run the risk of losing
the treasure forever.
when the fortress was given back to
the maharajah, and before the British
troops had left Gwalior territory,
masons were brought from Benares
sworn to secrecy in the temple of the
Holy Cow before leaving; and when
they reached the Gwalior railway sta
tion they were put into carriages,
and driven to the place
where they had to work.
There they were kept till they had
opened out the entrance into the Sc
cret vault; and when the concealed
hoard had been verified, and the hole
built up again, they were once more
put into carriages, and
taken back TO the railway station and
rebool1ed fer Benares under a proper
escort. Chambers Journal

GOSSIP is ABUSED.
Neighboriy Matters That May Be Pleas
antiy Discussed

antiy Discussed
The good old word gossip" has been
badly abused in the changes incident to
the progress Of the language. 1t orig
inally meant the interchange of light
talk on subjects of neighborly interest,
which even in the present day and
among all sorts and conditions of peo-
ple will remain as interesting matter
for conversation as any other. The
trouble with the word gossip is that it
is now understood to refer almost en-
tirely TO ill-natured and malicious scam
dals about neighbors. And with such
an Interpretation it should deserve the
srnstinted reprobation of all
When neighbor gets reputation for
going around and insinuating all kinds
of unpleasant things about all the other
neiehbors, making indirect references
TO things of which she would not speak
out in plain terms, and always yelling
her meaning by an air of regret and
pretense of sincerely. she becomes more
dangerous that a snake. and she would
be avoided with exactly the same sense
of loathing that snakes are usually
avoided. The listener should always
remember that the same gossiper viii
be very likely TO speak in almost the
same terms of her, should she be able to
find a listener, and should, therefore,
if only as a matter of self-prctection,
discountenance and dismiss her in an
unmistakable manner. Thus chiefly
may the gossip be rooted out. Aleague
to discourage gossips should be formed
in every little community. 1t would
probably be an uncertain kind of asso-
citation for awhile, because, strange as
it may seem, there are many gossips
of even the most bitter character who
do not recognize themselves as such,
and who would in all honesty hold the
character of a malicious talebearer and
scandal-monger as one of the worst
in the world. One of the difficulties of
eradicating this evil is this fact, but
lesson or two in a league or association
would be very sure to turn their eyes
in upon themselves and produce an
amazing revelation in many cases.
There is gossip and gossip. Some of
the news of the neighborhood as retold
by many ladies is revelation of kindly
hearts and of Unborn sense of the sweet
ness and civility that many people have
affirmed goes with gentle birth. All the
pretty things are told with pretty COM
ments. If there are unhappy things to
tell there are kindly and womanly ways
of putting them, and usually some sug-
gestions made to relieve them. These
are the happy gossips, but a misfortune
is that the line cannot be sharply and
drawn or always with safety
applied at all. There is French au-
thority that says man is much given to
taking pleasure in the misfortunes of
his neighbor, and so long as this is pref
iy much SO, there is always to be great
degree of care taken in the discussion
of neighborly matters at all.-N- Y.

 Though Honolulu is tropical town in every respect, it is impos- slble for one to be ashore five min utes without realizing that, after all, the energy and propelling power in this wonderful land are not tropical, but AngIo-Saxon. Wherever there Is directing energy or organizing power. or enterprise. or action, there one will find the American. Americanism predom : mates in the intelligent and ruling spirits of the Islands. This is shown in hundred ways. The very republic was declared on the fourth of July in order that the day might be doubly endeated to the hearts of the people. Almost as much interest is manifested here in the affairs of the United States as in the States themselves. The results of the elections and the policy of the administrator are watched with the Eeenest interest.
 The American is chief in. busi- ness and politics. He is in the church, the school, the counting room, on the railroad, and steamer; at the dry-dock and the foundry; at the lumber yard, at the mill, and the tow-boat. He IS on the wharf when you land, on the street as you pass, at the hotel when you register. Nothing goes on success fully without him. He fills teeth, cuts hair, mends shoes, builds houses, shoes horses, mends coffee pots, sells furniture, medicines, and hardwares, and fits clothes. In tact, you rub up against him every where, at least where there is evil dence of combined intelligence and progress
 Such is the American who has made his home in this land of sum- shine. Though he fully retains his race characteristics, and walks or sits Beneath the palms and gor- geous Towering trees as he would beneath the elms and naples of his native land, seeming, indeed, to be a foreigner in the presence of this unique vegetation, yet he is it's au- thor, having made Honolulu what 1t is by his enterprise. He has in- troduced foreign plants, and en- couraged their growth. When the white man came, Honolulu was treeless, sandy plain, with fringe of cocoanuts along the shore. The Honolulu of today IS the creation of the foreigner-the offspring of his handiwork. You will find Eng fish, Spanish, Germans, Portu- guese, Japanese, Chinese, and rep resentatives of almost every na- ticnality in the city, but the Amer ican element predominates.
