Marketing Grapes.

Grapes, like other fruits, need TO be
carefully handled to bring the best
prices. The vines need to be gone over
frequently during the ripening season,
gathering only those with full color,
because grapes do not, like other fruits,
color after being gathered. The bunch
es should be cut off with pair of scis-
sors and so handled as not to disturb
the bloom. Ordinary varieties may be
at once packed from the vines into the
basket that is intended for sale Choice
varieties should be gathered in shallow
trays or baskets, in which they should
stand a day or two on shelves in the
fruit house, and then re-packed. BY
this treatment the stems will wilt, and
the punches will then keep without
molding and pack more closely than
when green.-Canadian Horticulturist.

ANNEXATION OF CRETE.
Has Been Accomplished by Greece with
Consent OF Powers.

Athens, Feb. l8.-It is generally be-
lieved here that the Cretan feature Of
the Eastern question is now a thing Of
the past, and the landing of the Greek
troops at Crete is not likely to turn out
casus belli between Turkey and
Greece.
The absolute decision of Greece to
persist in the occupation of Crete and
protection of Christians on that island,
in spite of the attitude OF the powers, is
founded on the declaration of the Gre
tans that they are prepared to shed the
last drop of their blood in order to at
tain their national aspirations, to which
they add that they will not be satisfied
with anything short of an absolute
union with Greece. These circum-
stances were communicated by Greece
to the powers and the policy of the
Greek government has been carried out
in every point.

A bout Pepper.

at has always amused me-" re-
marked a botanical expert, "to hear
people talking of their preference for
black pepper over white, and the vari-
GUS explanations they give for the same.
Little do they know that both black and
white pepper grow upon the same
shrub. Over the pepper seed grows
black covering The seed itself is
white, or nearly so. To make black
pepper the seed and its external cover
ing are ground up, while the white pep
per is the seed alone ground up. White
pepper is milder than black the greater
part of the pungency being in the cover
ing. A pepper made of the coverings
alone would be such, to use a slang
term, hot stuff that it would burn the
mouth. The black covering of the pep
per seed contains the oil. Chicago

Experiments made in different sec
tons show that the cost of feeding a
hen one year is about 81, and that the
profit is about the same, the gross re-
celpts from the hen being about 50 a
year. OF course, this varies according
to the breed, cost of food and location,
being sometimes more and sometimes
less: but it is accepted that 81 pays
the cost and 81 profit is made from

is reduced and the profits larger.-Poul-

CHANDLER SARCASTIC.
A Three Hour Speech In Advocacy o
Bimetalism.

Washington, Feb. IS. = Senate.
Chandler's speech in the senate toda,
in advocacy of bimetalism was one
the notable efforts of the present SEES
sion, not only for the care with which
the senator presented the question from
his standpoint, but for the bitter sar
casm addressed to Senator Palmer anc
the indianapolis convention, the arraign.
ment of silver Republicans who bolteC
the st. Louis convention, and for the
dramatic personal exchange between
Chandler and Pettigrew, the latter be-
ing one of the boilers from the st.
Louis convention. Chambers speech
lasted three hours, and was replete with
incident. 1t was an argument against
a single standard of either metal, gold
or silver, and warning against a pol
icy of recommendation. Then the sena-
tor turned to the political phases Of the
question, speaking in turn OF Bryan,
Palmer and Mckinley. Palmer sat
across the aisle and was frequently ad-
dressed by the speaker as one who had
contributed to the election of Mckinley
The controversy between Chandler and
Pettigrew was one of the hottest per-
sonal episodes the senate had has in a
long time, the South Dakota senator
declaring that Chambers statement as
to the violation of pledges at St Louis
was wholly false. Chandler did not
modify his statement, but mutual ex-
plantations restored cordial relations.
The peroration of Chandler was an APP
peal to the incoming president and his
advisers to heed the needs OF the peo-
pie, particularly on the money ques-
ton, and warning of speedy political
disaster certain to follow delay.

potatoes on some rich land away from

FOR INDIAN VETERANS.
Letter written by Governor Lord to
Speaker Reed.

Speaker Reed.
Salem, Or, Feb. 1s.-Governor Lord
today addressed the following letter in
behalf of the Indian war veterans, to
Speaker Reed, of the national house of
representatives:
"On behalf of the veterans of the In
dian war of 1906, in Oregon and Wash
ington, / have the honor to request your
kindly offices in bringing to considera-
ton in the house of representatives. the
favorably reported senate bill for the re-
lief of these veterans. Their services
to the nation and to civilization were
great indeed, and recognition has too
long been deferred. If you have time
to consider a measure whose merit and
justice seem to me beyond any doubt,
full information about it would be
promptly supplied by Oregon's repre-
sentatiyes in congress "
The effort being made to secure PEN
sions for Indian war veterans is in
recognition of services rendered and
property to the amount Of SOIL ,459
furnished in putting down the natives
during the Yakima and Rogue river
wars.
A memorial to congress, asking for
recognition of the Oregon and Washing
ton citizens who took part in these
wars, was adopted by the last legisla-
ture. The memorial also mentioned
the services rendered by local citizens
during the Cayuse war, asking that they
be pensioned on the same basis as SOL
diers of the Mexican war.

RELIEF FOR THE INSURGENTS
Expedition Secretly Gathered in the
Southwest Said to Have Sailed
From the Texas Coast.

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 19.-The News
prints the following story, which it's
reporters cannot verify, except to strike
disconnected fragments here and there:
lone of the largest Cuban expedi-
tions that has sailed from the Gulf coast
squared away tonight for the Queen Of
the Antilles, from Pass Caballo, mid
way between Corpus Christi and Gal
weston. The expedition consisted of
800 thoroughly armed frontiersmen,
mostly from Colorado, but many Of
them from North and West Texas and
New Mexico. The Colorado and New
Mexican contingents are part of Colonel
Roberts organization, which has been
getting together in the Southwest dur
ing the last few days. The men form
ing the expedition have been sent to
South Texas points in squads of from
five to twenty, many of them having
passed through Houston and Galveston
without suspicion as to their identity
being aroused They have been sent
out from Dallas and Fort Worth, and
a few from Greenville and Texarkana
by Cuban sympathizers.
1.-THE vessel on which they sailed
tonight is owned by wealthy private
parties, non-residents of Texas 1t lay
for several days last week near the port
of Brazos de Santiago, at point north
of the bar. from which it quietly
slipped out last Friday night, reaching
Pass Caballo on Sunday.
During the last thirty days arms
and ammunition have been shipped az
holloware, white lead hospital sup
plies and musical instruments. In all
49, rounds of mixed ammunition for
rifles, shotguns and revolvers, which
had been quietly gathered in North
Texas points, the bulk of it at Dallas,
and some of it at Fort Worth, and
some of the biggest companies in st.
Louis, have been shipped from those
cities under the direction of Cuban
sympathizers and forwarded in such
packages as not to arouse suspicion as
to the character of their contents. The
expedition hopes to join Colonel Rob-
erts' command of Americans in Cuba,
or General Garca's. The point where
it will land has been selected in adj
vance, but it is only known to the Off
GERS of the ship and the promoters of
the expedition. The crew consists of
twenty thoroughly experienced sailors,
at the head of whom is Captain Miller,
who has spent a great deal of time dur
ing the last two or three weeks in Gal
veston Dallas and Houston. One of
the crew is Bob Allan, the assistant
gunner who helped make Walsh work

December, on the south coast of Cuba,
