1.-The Lost Chord"

Col. Robert E. Lee Venting. great
traveller and musician, tells the following
interesting story:
ut was while visiting the house OF a
nobleman in England that | first heard
the story of the birth of The Lost
Chord song that has been sung in
every quarter of globe and which will
live forever. If ever there was such a
thing as inspiration, that song was
inspired.
There are very few Engishmen who
do not remember Fred Sullivan, the
great comic star and brother of Sir
Arthur Sullivan. He played in all the
original and Sullivan operas and has
never been equaled. He was later fol-
lowed by George Grossmith.
One day Sir Arthur Sullivan was
notified that his brother Fred was very
i'll. He made every effort to reach the
house where his brother was lying at
the point of death, but arrived too late
to see him alive. The two brothers
were devoted to each other and the
blow was bitter one for Sir Arthur.
He was coseted with the body of his
brother for two honrs, at the expiration
| of which time he came down stairs and
went to the piano. Throwing the
instrument open, he began to play, and,
bar by bar, The Lost Chord, was evolv-
ed. The compostor sadly put his new
composition on paper and slowed it
away.
1.-THE song is the wall of throbbing
heart, the grief of desolation. All
through its beautiful harmony can bt
heard the strain of grief. So profound
an impression did the association of the
song with the death of his brother make
on Sir Arthur that he is said to have
even at this late day, an aversion tc
hearing it performed. Baltimore News

A Great California Ranch.

The Vina ranch, in Tehama County,
the property of the Leland STANFORD Uni
versity, covers $4,000 acres; besides
which it controls, and practically owns,
100 square miles of range, utilized for
sheep and cattle-grazing purposes, and
these Immense tracts OF land are, in addi
ton to the natural waterways which
intersect them, nourished by over 200
miles of irrigating bitches.
The ranch is devoted to variety of
agricultural enterprises, each one OF
magnitude sufficient to make it an in
dustry of consequence by itself, apart
from the vineyards. There is enough
land planted in peaches, pears, and
prounes to produce crop Of over 1000
tons, for which price Of $45 delivered
at the cars, was received this season;
the dairy, which produces 1000 pounds
of butter every month, is supplied with
200 pure. blooded Holstein cows that
give each month 10000 gallons OF milk.
The grain lands of the farm yield 1885,
900 sacks each season; and over sixty
tons OF wool is obtained from the sheep
that Craze on the range. In addition to
all this, the farm is stocked with nearly
1000 head of thoroughbred cattle, 800
m ules and horses, 1000 hogs and ducks,
chickens and geese in such numbers as to
DEFY all computation.
To attend to all this the services of
about 500 men are required and the
expenses run up to over $4,000 per
month.
In the vineyard, $500 acres in extent,
the visitor will see over 200 men busily
engaged with scissors separating the
purple clusters from the stems which
droop under their weight, and casting
them into boxes which are lifted into
wagons and hauled to the winery,
where they are dumped into elevators
operating on much the same plan as
those in the big storehouses of Chicago,
by which the fruit is conducted to the
crushers situated on the third floor of
the fermenting. house. Here the grapes
are crushed separated from the stem,
and conducted by gravity to the numer-
GUS lermenting tanks on lower floor.
There they are allowed to come to the
proper stage of fermentation, when the
LIQUID is drawn off and either pumped
into the fortifying tanks or the distillery.
The pomace is conducted to the hydraulic
presses, where any residue of liquid it
contains is extracted and pumped to
the distillery. The remaining portion OF
the pomace is then hauled away and
used as hog feed.
The visitor will get pretty fair idea
of the immensely of this work when he is
told that sometimes 500 tons of grapes
go through this process in one day.
1t takes about 200 men to do the pick.
ing and seventy.fve mule teams to haul
what they pile up.
The grape crop this season is expected
to amount to about 10000 tons,
which will produce about 1900, 900
gallons of wine, from which will be
made about $4,000 gallons OF brandy,
This wine is stored in a wine.cellar which
has capacity of about 1,750,000 gal

A pretty decoration for a luncheon
table was seen recently. Tiny baskets,
one for each cover, were filled with roses
and asparagus ferns and piled in circu-
lar mound in the centre of the table. long
pink ribbons leading from each basket to
a plate. The ferns completely hid the
sides and handles OF the baskets, and it
was not until the end OF the meal, when
the hostess lifted hers by its ribbon, that
the guests discovered the secret and each
in turn took her souvenir.
