HOW RAISINS ARE SEEDED.
That Turn Out Ten or Twelve
Tons Daily.

Unlike the eastern imitation, the Cali
dry temperature of lao degrees Fahren
heit from three to five hours, immedi-
ately after which the fruit is submitted
to chilling process, and while in this
reduced condition of temperature is
passed through cleaning or brushing"
machines, which remove every particle
of dust and the capstems, thus making
it pure and wholesome article. 1t is
then taken automatically, by elevators,
to a room where, spread upon wire
trays, it is exposed to a temperature of
100 degrees Fahrenheit, which brings
the fruit back to its normal condition;
and in this processing" the berry is
converted into pectin, that delicious
jelly which gives TO fruits their best
flavor.
The raisins having been prepared
through this alternate heating and
chilling to keep indefinitely and resist
climatic influence, are passed through
seeding machines, each of which has
a capacity of from ten to twelve tons
udlly. IHc ldlSllS are pIcSSSu Del"cen
rubber or similar surfaced rollers,
which at first flatten the berry and
press the seeds to the surface, when
an impaling roller catches the seeds be-
tween it's needles or teeth affixed to it's
periphery, deftly removing them from
the fruit, while the latter passes on,
minus its seeds, but possessing every
particle of it's flesh. Fhe seeds are re-
moved from the roller by ''flicking"
or whispipg device, and are sent along
to the seed receptacle, finally ending
their journey in the engine room, where
they are burned as fuel.
Four hundred and fifty car loads of
ten tons each, or 100000 pounds, of
seeded raisins were shipped from the
Fresno district last year, and very
much larger tonnage will be turned out
this year.
Some estimate can be formed of the
possibilities of the Fresno seeded
raisin plants when it is stated that
their aggregate capacity for this sea-
son will approximate from 1,700 to 1000
car loads, while it is probable that 1 400
cars will be the output Each seeding
plant has from five to twelve machines
of ten tons daily capacity per machine.
Some of the packing houses cover a
ground space $50 by 225 feet and are
three stories high.-California Vim

DEEPLY RELIGIOUS.
But Makes No Parade of His Devotion
-"UncIe Admiral" in YER
mont.

Admiral Dewey is quiet and composed
in manner. He does not speak much,
and that little is rarely devoted to him
self. He has apparently no vanity, but,
on the other hand, he has no mock mod
esty, none of that pride which apes hui
mility, the darling sin" which makes
the devil grin. He has the dignity, and,
when necessary, the self-assertionw which
comes from consciousness of power.
He is deeply devotional, but he makes
no parade of his religion. He carries
his Bible and his prayer book with
him, but they are always hidden in the
recesses of his cabin. He is notably def
erential and courteous to women, with
whom he has always been favorite.
From his father he inherits an abiding
love for children.
The youngsters in his native town al
ways used to hail him as Uncle Cap
tain" They will now have an oppor-
tunity to know him as ''Uncle Admiral"
A Juvenile audience always loved to
flock around him, for he tells child's
story admirably. He loves music, and
has an excellent voice for singing.
There are many men and women in
Montpelier who remember with pleas
ure the guitar he brought home with
him from Norwich and the songs he
sang to it. AT Annapolis he was a mem
Der of the midshipmen's choir. Atpres-
ent he contents himself with listening
to good music. During the long days at
Manila, when his thoughts would wan
der back to America, he would express a
longing to hear good opera again.
He is scrupulously neat in his dress,
so much so that when, at Roosevelt's
advice, he was appointed to take COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron, one of
the members of the naval council is said
to have protested:
dewey! Why, Dewey is dude!"
what of that?" asked Roosevelt.
"Why, you are the last man / should
expect to want to advance dude"
81 didn't want to advance him." said
Mr.. Roosevelt. "I'll leave that to you
afterward. All / want is a man over
there, some fellow who will fight and
make war. 1 don't care what kind of
collar he wears; that is, so long as it is
some kind of linen ar."-Cincin-

TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
The Purchasers Complained of n Lack
of One of the Elements
in the Oil.

The faculty of terse and forceful speech
is ordinarily an advantage, but occasional
ly man gets hoisted by his own epigram.
A hustling young New Yorker who was
recently established in a branch of the oil
business, had set out to get the patronage
of certain firm. The head of the concern
was reluctant to make change.
''The oil we have been getting is not I'M
satisfactory" said he, "and l fail to see
why we should make a change. Are there
any extra inducements you can offer? How
do you propose to improve on the old quail
typ
''In this way" was the prompt answer.
81 propose to give the business my personal
attention. | intend to put some of my brains
into every barrel of oil we send out"
The rejoinder pleased the old gentleman,
and he became customer.
A few months later the hustEng young
man was obliged to make a journey, and
in his absence, through some oversight, the
quality of oil was allowed to deteriorate.
1t was quickly noted, and letter now on
file in the Office records one of the protests.
1t reads: Gentlemen: When we were
induced to use your product we were as
sured that Mr.. Blank put some of his brains
into every barrel of OIL We deeply regret
to observe that Mr.. Blank is threatened
with paresis. Washington Star.

Morning comes at last. The dark
brownish mist that pervades the street
and envelopes the house in moist en-
brace rises slowly under the influence
of the suns rays, until, cleansed and
purified by them, it hangs over the
chimney tops, white, glistening mass
of vapor. Even the dull red bricks, the
clothes yards on the roofs, are rendered
beautiful, pictured as they are by the
soft light passing through a veil of
cloud. There is man in blue blouse
leaning against the wall of building
opposite Pierre st. jeans house. He is
waiting for somebody. The great bell
in neighboring tower has solemnly
tolled six strokes, and the street begins
to hustle with the stir of life. The milk
