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 tistic, and on cither cl-e ,f this superb collar a lir e of lir y tr.rqnois.J was set deep in tilver. if the young woman af fects cats she has the silversmith inal six or eight light silver hoops, some c. and others plain, and these bright ri, gs he welds aronnd pussy’s Curvy neck. A 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. They Old. Bill Clark—If 1 had as much money as the old man Td quit business and travel. I Ad Collum—So would I. j Employer (entering unexpectedly)—11 gness that’s what yon’d better do any how.—Pnck.
