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

Unlike the eastern imitation, the Cali
fornia seeded raisin is subjected TO
dry temperature of 40 degrees Fahren-
heit from three to five hours, immedi-
ateIy after which the fruit is submitted
TO a 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 temperature OF
40 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
capacity of from ten to twelve tons
daily. The raisins are pressed between
rubber or similar surfaced rollers,
which at first fiatten the berry and
press the seeds to the surface, when
an impaling roller catches the seeds be-
tween its needles or teeth affixed to its
periphery, deity removing them from
the fruit, while the latter passes on,
minus its seeds, but possessing every
particle of its flesh. The seeds are re-
moved from the roller by ''ficking"
or whispirg 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 5000. 900 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 1,70O to 1900
car loads, while it is probable that !, 400
cars will be the output. Each seeding
plant has from five to twelve machines
of ten tons daily capacity per machine

ALittle Too soon.

Aprofessor was going to experiment with
laughing gas when he overheard a student
say that If he were selected for a subject he
would take advantage of his supposed coma
to tell the professor what he thought OF him.
When the class met the professor an
nounced that he would like, for the purposes
of illustration, 10 administer the gas to some
member OF the class. Forthwith this stu
dent volunteered.
The gas bulb was connected with his
mouth. He pretended to be very much ex-
cited and began to abuse the professor

awhile; but the class roared when the pro-
lessor said he needn't be so Irresponsible

Seventy years ago." said he, when I
was a boy and came down in the morn
ing the air rang with the song of birds.
On every tree there was chorus of
songsters. The woods were full of
game. In those days we never heard of
paris green with which to drive the
bugs from the potato vines and squash

purpose of keeping the crows from the
corn. For the rest, when the fields were
once planted they grew undisturbed.
Now there are next to no birds. The
air is tuneless. But for every vegetable
there is bug The bulk of the farmers
time is spent in fighting bugs. Paris

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

Admiral Dewey is quiet and composed
n 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
aim, 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 a 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 s.
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

him from Norwich and the songs he
sang to it. At Annapolis he was mem
Der of the midshipmen's choir. At pres
ent he contents himself with listening
to good music. During the long days at
Manila, when his thoughts would wan

longing to hear good opera again.
He is scrupulously neat in his dress,
SO much so that when, at Rooseve1t'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:

What of that?" asked Roosevelt.

CLOSE TIN PLATE MILLS.
Beneficiaries of Protection Fail to
Keep Pace with Mckinley
Prosperity.

Not long ago the president and the
vice president of a monopoly combine
called the American Tin Plate company
appeared before the industrial COM
mission in Washington and told what a
beneficent institution the company was.
They told how it had put an end to
ruinous competition and enabled them
to pay right royal wages to the men
employed and at the same time sell tin
plate cheaper than it was before the
passage of the Mckinley tariff. Ad
hitting that the company had closed
some mills, they said it had opened
more than it had closed. They declared
that, while it had reduced the number
employed in office work, making sales,
ETC., it had not reduced the number of
men employed in making tin plate. 1t
was giving work to as many persons Is
ever and paying some of them as much
as $40 a day, which was vastly more
than workers in the same line could
earn in Wales. In fine, the combine was
doing no end of good and was entitled
to gratitude from its employees and the
general public.
But what is this we hear from Pitts
burgh? A dispatch from that center Of
protected trust industries states that
no less than 1O6 mills in the 80 plants
controlled by the combine (Which is not
trust, Mr.. Hanna would have us I'M
derstand) are shut down.
According to the Pittsburgh dispatch
this means a loss of labor of nearly
1871 600 a month. "Over 1900 men are
idle in the rolling mill department alone
and thousands more in other depart
ments.'
The managers of the combine seem to
have made haste to shut down mills
and throw thousands of men out of
work as soon as possible after telling
the industrial commission what great
things they had done for labor and for
| consumers of tin plate. Like other
benefciaries of protection. they mani
fest interest in labor chiefly when they
are anxious to retain old tariff fayors
or secure new ones.-Chicago Chron'
icle.

TRYING THEIR BEST.
The Administration Using Exceptions
al Pressure to Garry Imper-
iaIist Measures.

In the. decision reached by President
Mckinley and his cabinet advisers to
urge upon congress in December the
Immediate passage of joint resolution
declaring it to be the intention of the
government to permanently retain the
Philippines, it is evident that the adj
ministration proposes to exert all the
pressure possible to commit this coun-
try to imperialism.
This decision followed a cabinet dis
cussion of a report of the Philippines
commission. The report had failed to
crafty the president by officially in
dorsing his Philippine policy. The most
that could be obtained from the COM
mission was an utterance to the effect
that the war in the Philippines should
be vigorously prosecuted until order
had been reseored. That this stubborn
ness on the part of the, commission
proved a keen disappointment to Mr..
Mckinley may easily be believed. That
it also alarmed the president may also
be credited.
Hence it is that the administration
will bring exceptional pressure to bear
on congress to secure the adoption of
an imperialist resolution. A personal
conference with the president, called
by him and held in the white house,
failed to bring the Philippines commits
sion to the presidents way of thinking
on the expansion issue. This result was
a somewhat disquieting indication of
the trend of public sentiment. 1t
proved also that the imperiaists could
not afford to take chances with con-
gress. The strongest card in their hand
must be played-and it will now be
played by the president and his cabi-
net.
If the American congress truly rep
resents the American people, however,
it is doubtful if it will yield to the pres
ident on this issue any more readily or
to further extent than did the Philip
pines commission in merely urging the
restoration of order in the Philippines.
The people of this country are opposed
to imperialism. The president and the
administration party are committed to
imperialism. The national congress is
supposed to represent the people. Many
of its republican members are open in
their opposition to American eXpan-
sion into the eastern hemisphere. A
faithful congress will mean the right
full triumph of the will of the people
over that of the president, the servant
of the DeODle-St Louis Republic.

One big mistake Senator Hanna
makes in his speeches is to forget
that the average American voter has
an abnormally developed conscience,
and no party has ever been success
shape or form.-Atlanta. Constitution.
The preliminary report of the
Philippine commission, hastily put to-
gether for publication at the presi-
dents request" is obviously issued
just now as frst-class campaign
document. AS such it naturally shares
the amiable and well-known infirm-
tiles of that species of literature
n. Y. Post.
In his political speeches recent
ly Gov. Roosevelt, of New York, has
been laboriously demonstrating how
far he falls short of the true presi-
Dental stature. We have had some
small and narrow men ia the white
house, but let US hope the good sense
of the people will never descend to
the selection of a. political mounte-
bank like Teddy for the chief magis-
tracy.-Houston (Tex.) Post.
To elect his man Nash, Senator
Hanna has urged the republican en-
ployers of labor in Ohio to coerce their
employees into voting for Nash The
same game elected Mckinley in 1896.
Then for the first time in the history
of the republic the theory was adj
vanced that the employer knew bet
ter how to cast the employees vote
than the emp1oye himself did. That's
Hannaism- This year they are at it
again.-Toledo Bee.
Mr.. Hanna is certainly. sincere
in his defense of the trusts He can
see in the destruction of competition
a great benefit to both the crushers
and the crushed. The masses are
blind to the good that is coming to
them through the curtailment of bust
ness and the discharge of hosts OF en-
ployes, but it is perfectly clear to
Mr.. Hanna, the statesman for whom
Senator Sherman was turned down,
and who stands to-day as the head OF

.Prosperity. the Farmer Gets.

What is the Nebraska farmers share
in the boosted Mckinley prosperity ?"
Let the farmer carefully note the facts.
Since 1898 the articles which the farm
er must buy have increased in price as
follows: Clothes baskets, 80 1-3 per
cent; galvanized oil cans, 20 per cent;
matches, 60 per cent; galvanized buck
cts, 100 per cent; soap, Is per cent;
washboards, so per cent; starch, 100
per cent; salt, so per cent; wire
clotheslines, 100 per cent; barbed wire,
lis per cent; lumber, 80 1-3 per cent;
nails, 100 per cent; iron pipe, us per
cent; iron castings, 100 per cent; rolled
oats, IS per cent; carpet tacks, go per
cent; spices, so per cent. Let the farm
er compare these increases with the diff
ference in the price of his products now
and one year ago. The farmer who fig
uresit out for himself will see that pros
perity has come only to the trusts and
the profits of the trusts are wrung from
the farmers OF the nation.-Omaha
