THE JUICY GRAPE.
Its History Is Well Nigh as Old as
That of Nan.

Its History L. Well Nigh as Old a.
That of Nan.
The history of the grape is almost as
old as that Of man. Growing in its
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
its luscious fruit recommended it to the
especial care of the patriarchal tillers
of the soil. and vineyards were extern
sively planted long before orchards or
collections of other fruit trees were al
all common.
The grape came originally from Per
sia. From the latter country as civil
cation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied it-first TO Egypt, then to
Greece. Sicily, Italy. Spain, France and
then to Great Britain, to which latter
country the Romans carried it 900
years after Christ.
To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought
by emigrants and coIonists the first
fifty years after its settlement
There are a vast number of varieties
of grapes. but there are really only
about a dozen varieties good for the
table California produces, the Tokay,
Muscat. Black Prince, Malaga, etc.
while the eastern states produce such
varieties as the Concord, Catavba, Nj.
agara, Delaware. Black Hamburg and
Isabella England. Grocer.

LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Some of the Delights OF Camping 0ut
In the Rockies.


In the Rockies.
About dusk you straggle In with
trout or game. The camp keeper lays
aside his mending or his repairing or
his notebook and stirs up the cooking
fire. The smell of broiling snd frying
and boiling arises in the air. BY the
dancing fame of the campfire you eat
your third dinner for the day-in the
mountains all meals are dinners, and
formidable ones at that. The curtain
of blackness is drawn down close.
Through it shine stars, loom mountains
cold and mistlike in the moon. You tell
stories; you smoke pipes. After time
the pleasant chill creers down from the
eternal SHOWS. Some one throws an
other handful Of pine cones on the fire:
Sleepily you prepare for bed. The pine
cones fare up, throwing their light in
your eyes. You turn over and wrap the
soft wooden blanket close about your
chin. You wink drowsily, and at once
you are asleep. Late in the night you
awaken to find your nose as cold as a
dogs. You open one eye. A few Goals
mark where the fire has been. The mist
mountains have drawn nearer; they
seem to bend over you in silent con-
temptation. The moon is sailing high in
the heavens. With sigh you draw the
canvas tarpaulin over your head. In
stantly 1t Is morning. - From THE
Mountains" by s. E. White.
