Thera la an Area ot *00,000 Acre. In
Vine. Ill the United State.—The Prod
uct I. *0,000,000 Gallon, of tVIne
and 330,000 Ton. of Table Grape*.
"I have no donbt that it will surprise
oven grape and wine growers themselves
to know that there ore invested in vine
yards and wine cellars in the United
States over 1155,000,000,” said Col. H.
Gardner, special agent of the census
office for the collection of statistics re
lating to viticulture, a branch of agri
culture which lias never before received
any official attention in this conntry. “1
find by statistics, which ore now col
lected for the first time.” said Col. Gard
ner, "that there are in rennd numbers
400,000 acres of land in this conntry
planted to vineyards.
“This is an increase of 230,000 acres in
vineyard area daring the past ten years,
and an increase of over (10,000,000 a year
in the capital invested. Of the area of
bearing vines in .the country California
alone has 150,000 acres, im hiding 25,000
acres of raisin grapes. That state also
has oftho total investment of capital
nearly (78,000,000. Between 80,000,000
and 40,000,000 gallons of wine are made
in the United States in a year, of which
California produces more thun half.
Seven-eighths of the grapes of California
go to the wine press. Four-fifths of the
grapes grown in all the rest of the
United States are for table use. Cali
fornia alone grows the raisin grape.
“I spent three months in California
giving official attention to its viticnltnral
interests. Although every county in the
state produces grapes, the principal
counties of the vine are Napa, Sonoma,
Fresno, Santa Clara, San Diego. San
Baruardina and Los Angeles, although
there are many others of more or less
importance. The counties of Fresno,
San Barnurdino, San Diego and Tulare
compriso the great raisin district, and
cure 2,000,000 boxes a year, a product
worth at least (3,000,000. The grapes
grown for raisins are the Muscat of
Alexandria and the Muscat del Gardo
Blanco. These counties grow large
quantities of wino grapes also, and the
sweet wines of California como princi
pally from that district. Fresno county
has 25,000 acres of vineyards, Sonoma
21,000 nnd Napa 10,000.
“The grapes grown in California to
day include every variety that lias
made the vineyards of Europe famous
The cultivation of the grapo in Califor
nia dates back to the days of the old
Spanish friars, the Franciscan fathers,
who brought with them from their na
tive land cuttings of a grape popular
there. Just what the true name of the
grapo was nobody seems to know now,
and Very few care, for while there are
in bearing today some of tho vineyards
or vines set out by the jolly Franciscans
a century or moro ago, the grape is not
in high esieem nowadays. It has al
ways been known os tho mission grape
“The old mission vineyard supplied
grapes for the table and the wino press
in California until a comparatively short
time ago. Then a Hungarian grape
known ns tho Zlnfandcl was introduced.
This newcomer was handsome, proved
to be a generous producer, and took the
popnlar heart.
“It proved to be an unfortunate one,
for it seemed so easy to grow tho Zinfan-
del that everybody planted vineyards.
When they began to bear they boro with
a vengeance. Tho markets became
choked with grapes, and prices went
down to disastrous figures. It becamo
apparent that the Zinfandcl was an in
ferior grapo after all, and to cap the cli
max tho phylloxera came down on the
Hungarian importation and boro it away,
vineyard after vineyard.
“No now vineyards were replanted
with the Zinfandel, and the vino is be
ing replaced with the choicest and hardi
est varieties of wine grapes from tho fa
mous districts of Europe, including Cab
ernet Sauviguon, Csrbanet Franc, Mnl
bock, Tarast, Meriot and St. Laurent
grapes from tho Bordeaux districts;
Mntaroe grapes- from Palos; Semilions
and BsavigDofas from 8anterne; Pinot
and Petite alrrah grapes from the Bur
gundy districts; Johannisbergers, Tra-
miners and Franken Rieslings from the
storied Rhine; Chasselos grapes from
Alsace-Lorraine, and tho rich Burgers
from Moselle. It is from these grapes
that the wines of Californio ore pressed.
“The famous Cballoso and Folio
Blanche, cognac grapes, are also largely
grown, tho wino from them being wado
into brandy. Then there are tho rich
Spanish Muscats and the favorite Hun
garian table grape, the Flaming Tokay.
In no other vine region in the world are
all these splendid grapes found growing
side by side, and they make of California
the wonderland of tho vine.
“California has the largest vineyard
in the world nnd tho most extensive wine
cellar. The vineyard is in Tehama
connty, on Senator Lelnnd Stanford’,
famous 50,000 acre farm. It contains
4g000 Acres.
“Among the enriofrities of the Califor
nia grape region is a vineyard that may
well be called the smallest in the world
as regards the number of vinee, for it
has bnt one vine. That is a most re
markable one, however, for its branches
extend over a space of 12,000 feet, the
cane being a foot in diameter* This ex
traordinary vine is over seventy years old,
and wss grown from an old mission cut-
tii« by a Mexican woman. It has borne
grapes every year since it was two years
old, and is good now they claim for six
tons of grapes a year. I was told that
clusters weighing seven pounds had been
picked from this ancient relio of the
mission days.
‘The phylloxera, which during the
it few yeirs played greet havoc with
lifomla vineyards, isbeing gradually
hnt fiurelv overcome. Tho inferior
varieties of grapes upon wbich ttwj**
feeds are being rooted out, and the
choice foreign varieties, which are sub
ject to it, are protected against it by
grafting on native wild varieties, known
as resistant vines, or vines which the
phylloxera does not affect.—New York
Bun.
tfelplug tbo Heatheu.
Ho was a brisk little man with twink
ling eyes, and as he stepped into the
office of the hotel, wherein about twenty
of ns were lounging and 6tnoking, he
cheerily called ont;
“Now, gentlemen, 1 want yonr atten
tion for a moment. You have all heard
of Africa? It is a country of heathens.
The nigger In his natural state is a bad,
bail man. Ho most be improved morally
and religiously. I am interested in im
proving him."
He took a watch from his handbag,
and holding the face against his hand
continued:
“Now, then, you see this watch? It is
not going. The hands are set to a cer
tain figure. The man who guesses near
est to that figure gets the watch. It is
fifty cents per gness, and everything
over and above expenses goes straight to
the heathen of Africa.”
“How do yon know it will?" inquired
a doubting Thomas.
“Because I shall leave the Bum with
the landlord, to be handed to any local
preacher he elects.”
Eighteen of ns at once laid down onr
“halves” and recorded onr guesses, and
when the last one was in the little man
held np the watch and announced the
winner. Then he continued:
“Gentlemen, that watch cost (2.80 at
wholesale. I have received $9. There
appears to be a balance of (0.20 in favor
of the dusky heathen who ache for re
ligions comfort Bat let ns see. My
railroad fare was (4.20; dinner and sup
per, (1.25; two drinks, 20 cents; two
games of billiards, 40 cents, and a cigar,
10 cents, making in ull $0.15. Landlord,
here is a nickel, and I charge yon, as yon
are an honest man, to see that it goes to
buy tracts for onr fellow men in Africa.
Gentlemen, good night.” — New York
Sun.
Jeweled Dog Collar..
The nltra fashionable yonng woman
who still clings to her dog is having the
silver collar made to duplicate exactly her
favorite bangle. The plain leather bands
and those studded with metal are hope
lessly old fashioned: chains have gone
ont, beaten into bracelet designs, and
solid silver i9 the only sort of neckwear
in which a self respecting dog will allow
himself to appear. Some of these new
collars are wonderfully rich and costly.
One, the property of a luxurious King
Charles spaniel, cost his mistress consid
erably over $100. It was fully an inch
wide, and os thick ns the animal's com
fort would allow.
Tho entire surface was richly engraved
with a court scene from the reign ol
Charles II. The work v.-as line and ar

collar a lir e of lir y tr.rqnois.J was set
deep in tilver. if the young woman af

beautiful pet Angora, which lies o,
cushion and feeds upon cream, wears
fine cut silver hoops that sparkle like
jewels every time she moves.—Manufac
turing Jeweler.
Irregular Working In Machinery
A simple method has been devised by
means of which, in the midst of a busy
workshop full of machinery in motion,
any special noise, even though slight,
can be distinguished and its origin
traced. Tbo apparatus consists of an
ordinary india robber gas tube about a
yard in length; the length may, how
ever, be varied to snit the nature of the
investigation. The tube is unprovided
with earpiece or bell. Ono end is ap
plied to tho ear of tho observer while
tho other is moved abont in order to ex
plore the seat of the irregularity. Since
tho free orifice of the tube is compara
tively small and is applied us closely os
possible to the vibrating surface it prac
tically receives only those sonorous vibra
tions which are emitted by this surface.
Those who hare to do with machinery
will find it especially useful for observ.
Ing noises due to irregularities in the
working of small parts of machines,
which may be either difficult or danger
ous to approach in any other way.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
WU Their Stock la Trade.
How many drummers owe their suc
ceed to ready wit I How many more
could tell of failures, if they would,
traceable to the look at on opportune
moment of bnt a pinch of Attic salt.
No one appreciates tho. force of these
questions better than the old traveler
who gave me this choice morsel the
other day. Ho bad tried in vain to per
suade a storekeeper to “look him
through,” nnd concluded with, “I am
positive yon cannot do better with any
man. Onr house is tho oldest, largest
and cheapest in the line.”
Storekeeper—I hear thnt same story
every day. Every drummer that comes
here claims the same thing.
Traveler—There, that shows you how
they all impose on people and imitate
onr methods.
Dnringthe langh that followed the
grip was opened and tho owner’s good
humor wbs rewarded with an order.—
Jewelers’ Weekly.
Walking Stick*.
I Nowadays there is hardly any limit to
the kinds of material used .in walking
sticks. Formerly only a few native
woods and some foreign species were
used. Innovations in the style of walk
ing sticks and umbrellas have been con
stantly introduced dating the last forty
yean nntU their manufacture has be
come quite an art and a business of con
siderable importance. Natural sticks,
I that is, saplings of trees and climbing
plants, wfioae roots will form bandies or
knots, are most used. They are some
times mounted with precious metals,
onyx, jasper, marble, precious stones,
ivofy and horns of all kinds.—Yonth’s I
Companion.
