the following story proves: Last year, on

when the sultan drives through the streets
of Corstantinople, in the rush Of the crowd
to see the royal carriage pass it CHANGED
that "a little boy belonging to charity
school was knocked down and trodden on
by an officers horse. The sultan saw the
accident and was much concerned. by his
orders the boy was ut once removed to the
palace and placed under tho care of his
own physicians The child was badly hurt
and lay i'll for a long time. No expense
was spared to cure him, and he was treated
as though he were one of the little princes
His mother u poor widow, living in far
off province, was sent for Immediately
She came to Constantinoplc and was grant
I'd pension which enabled her to live
near her child AS for the boy himself
the sultan has undertaken the expenses Of
his education and placed him ut one Of the
best private schools in ConstantinOple.
The little fellow's future is thus secured
He may safely count ON quick promotion
in whatever branch Of the Turkish service
he decides To enter, and his friends consid

One slue OF the shOp was taken up by

PRESERVING FRESH GRAPES.
In Cold Storage Thsy Can He Kept Through
the Winter.

The method of gathering and preparing
grapes for winter storage Is as follows
The clusters are carefully picked before
they are dead ripe and then laced In traps
In the packing house for few days until
the stems have wiltcd and the moisture
has evaporated. The baskets arc lined with
paraffined paper SO that IL will lap over the
top of the basket. The graz es are packed
carefully in the basket, all loose and pune
tured berries being removed beforehand
and then, when the PAPER Is folded oven
them, tho cover Is fastened down snugly
eo as to exclude as much air az possible
The baskets are then placed in the cold
dry storage house. In this way the Yer
gennes can be kept all winter, the Cataw
bas until the end of February and Niaga
ras until after the holidays.
The only difficulty experienced by grow
ers Is from rapid deterioration when the
grapes are removed from cold storage anc
shipped to market. They need to be con
sumed Immediately In order to appreciate
their qualities. The largo growers ase ar
ranging to ship their graIcs from thcii
packing houses to the cold storage houses
In the cities by means of refrigerator cars
and In this way the quality will be Ere
served until the grapes reach the consun
er's table. But this shuts out the small
grower located some distance from the
markets.
However, there are other outlets foi
their crops of grapes which are rapidly in
creasing in imI ortance. One of the best
Is that of manufacturing "unfermenteo
grape juice" a beyergS> that is recon
mcnded by physicians, and which is gain
ing ground in Iublic esteem annually. II
is said that the fresh grape juice is next tt
good, new milk as wholesome beverage,
and that all Leorle should drink it, esre'
cially the weak and emaciated. 1t goes ian
ahead of ten or coffee when taken with
meals. Sometimes it is put on the market
in an adulterated fern, but there art
plenty of growers who make it themselves
from the fresh grapes. In Erie county, n.
Y, there is a vineyard where all the grapes
from 100 acres are annually turIed into
unfermcnted juice. The juice is simply
heated, carefully filtered and then bottled
while hot. In this way 1t will keep fresh
and good for q long time.-New York
