ABOUT RAlsINs.

The flat appearance raisins have is
caused by placing the boxes one above
the other and in the course of few
days their weight presses the fruit
down to the requisite fairness. Then
the boxes are ornamentcd with the
highly colored pictures and lace paper
we all know, and are ready for exporta-
ton. r...t ...... s.
Raisins are counted one of the
delicacies of the table, and Justly so,
for nothing is more delicious when
they are urge and plump. The. best
raisins IRE made of the white MuscataI
grapes. The punches of ripe fruit arc
cut and spread on sloping stands in the
sun to dry. When necessary the
lunches arc turned at night and COW
cred with mating to keep their bloom.
When grapes intended for raisins ere
sufficiently dried they are carried in
baskets to the packing sheds, where
the small and inferior fruit is nipped
off with scissors. Then the raisirs are
slightly fattened ny the hand and urc
laid onnwhite paper in boxes, three
layers to the box. AS the fruit is still
round it is laid in loosely and the top
layer rises much above the edge of the
box. ~.

CHANGE IN THE STATE HOUSE.
Next Legislature VIII be Asked to Fur
ish u Room For tho Speaker.

Montpelier, July 14.-For some time past
several of the State officers and members
of the Legislature have been considering
plans whereby mere room and better uc-
commodatioEs could be made Tor the
speaker and clerk of the House of Rep
sentatiVes. The rooms used in the past
have become entirely inadequate and are
in no way fitted for the work required OF
these officers On occasions when the
house is crowded II Is almost impossible
for the clerk to go to the room set apart
for his use and by the new plan this will
be overcome.
The plan which seems to meet the APP
proval of all and one which will be the
least expense TO the State, is to raise the
building in the rear of the State House
another story and fit up the rooms for the
use of the officers.
a door will be placed in the rear part
of the building and corridor built TO con-
meet with the rooms. which will make
them accessible without destroying the
whole HOUSE, This plan will in nowisC
mar the beauty of the building but will
add to its looks.
An architect from Burlington has voiun.
teercd to draft plans and specifications fol-
the work. which will be submitted TO tn,
next Legislature for their consideration.
! The building to be remodeed is now uset
for a store room and engine room ano
could be fitted up for rooms that would
be a credit to the building.
