EXPERIMENTS IN FRUIT PACKING Among the exhibits at the late Colonial Exposition at London which attracted much attention was a shipment of fresh fruit from Australia. It consisted of apples, pears, melons, quinces, pomegranates, grapes, lemons, etc. Much of the fruit arrived in good condition, and the experiment seemed to justify hopes for a regular trade in fresh fruit between the Colonies and England. The fruit was sent in cold storage, packed in several ways. In some cases wheat chaff was used with good results. Corkdust was found effective, but sawdust answered about as well, besides being cheaper. The Observer of Adelaide, South Australia, mentions some previous experiments in shipping fruit from that port to London which were unsuccessful. This was before the steamers were supplied with cold storage chambers, and such of the fruit as was not absolutely spoiled in transit tasted of the sawdust in which it was packed. Cold storage, therefore, seems to be essential to the use of sawdust packing. J. F. Torrance of Nova Scotia has recently patented an "Infusorial Fruit Case." It is a double box, the space between being filled with infusorial earth, and the fruit in the inner box packed in the same substance. This, it is claimed, absolutely prevents decay. There are deposits of this earth in California, and experiment with it would be easy. Yet another material for packing has been brought forward on this coast which promises better than anything yet tried. The tube which grows so rankly on the swamp lands of California has been found an excellent substance for packing anything in glass, merely to prevent breakage. Some experimenter in Southern California has language. Mr. Laird is said to have replied that the gentleman could not get out soon enough for him. With this the pair started into the lobby and to the basement. Mr. Payson followed and succeeded in getting Cobb to retrace his steps so far as the west door of the lobby. Laird following, the altercation was resumed, and Laird struck Cobb a heavy blow on the mouth and nose. A stream of blood trickled down Cobb's face and he was thrown backward against the doorway. The crowd which had congregated interposed at this juncture, and the combatants separated. Great Aggregates from Doubling Small Amounts The great delusive result of multiplying by two, or doubling numbers several times, is very well illustrated in the following story, which a Western newspaper man has set going the rounds: A merchant employed a clerk, who wanted the place principally to learn the business, "salary being no object." At the suggestion of this industrious seeker after knowledge and contemner of worldly goods, the merchant willingly consented to fix the salary at 1 cent for the first month, 2 cents for the second month, 4 cents for the third, 8 cents for the fourth, and so on for three years. Here is the "account," as figured out by the bookkeeper, which we may well believe "staggered" the merchant: First month .01, second month .02, third .04, fourth .08, fifth .16, sixth .22, seventh .64,eighth $1.28,ninth $2.56,tenth $5.12,eleventh $10.24,twelfth $20.48,tirteenth $40.96,fourteenth $81.92,fifteenth $163.84,sixteenth $327.68 seventeenth $655.36 eighteenth $1,310.72 nineteenth $2,621.44.

This, it is claimed, absolutely prevents decay. There are deposits of this earth in California, and experiment with it would be easy. Yet another material for packing has been brought forward on this coast which promises better than anything yet tried. The title which grows so rankly on the swamp lands of California has been found an excellent substance for packing anything in glass, merely to prevent breakage. Some experimenter in Southern California has dried and cut it into fine particles in which to pack fresh fruit. So prepared it is dry as tinder, very light, adding scarcely anything to the cost of freight, easily prepared, and cheap. In all respects it seems to meet the wants of shippers. The supply is practical, lively in exhaustible, and it will prove a happy coincidence if, with the best fruit, the growers of California have the best means at hand for getting it to distant markets in good condition. There is less complaint now than formerly about fruit arriving East in bad condition, but there is still room for improvement, and no chance of bettering methods should be neglected. Is a Man's House His Own? There is a popular superstition that a man's house is his own—that he can say to another man, "Go!" and he goeth, or if he doesn't, he can be tumbled out sans ceremony. While this holds good in regard to an invited guest, casual caller, or even a hired servant, it does not hold good where any one makes a claim that your house is his temporary home. Let us cite a few instances for the benefit of those who may have too much confidence in the goodness of human nature: A lady, occupying a large house by herself, agreed to let a man and his wife live in the basement, free of rent, thinking his presence would be a sort of protection to her and her servant. Hardly had he moved in before he introduced two dogs, so fierce in their disposition that the owner of the house actually feared to descend to her own garden. She desired him to send them away, which he refused to do, saying they were members of his family, and as the house was his home, he had a perfect right to keep his family there. His next move was to keep all the windows in the basement open at night, greatly to the terror of the lady, who had the fear of burglaries before her eyes. Vainly she entreated him to close them, but he answered that he required ventilation, which he had a right to in his home. She consulted a lawyer, but learned, as no lease had been signed, that the man had possession for a year, and could only be put out by a troublesome legal process. The annoyances he caused her were perfectly intolerable, and when she finally got rid of him she made up her mind that never again would she take any stranger into her house. Another case was that of a lady who boarded at one of our principal hotels. The merchant willingly consented to fix the salary at 1 cent for the first month, 2 cents for the second month, 4 cents for the third, 8 cents for the fourth, and so on for three years. Here is the "account," as figured out by the bookkeeper, which we may well believe "staggered" the merchant: First month .01, second month .02, third .04, fourth .08, fifth .16, sixth .32, seventh .64,eighth $1.28,ninth $2.56,tenth $5.12,eleventh $10.24,twelfth $20.48,tirteenth $40.96,fourteenth $81.92,fifteenth $163.84,sixteenth $327.68.seventeenth $655.36.eighteenth $1,310.72,nineteenth $2,621.44,twentieth $5,242.88,twenty-first $10,485.76,twenty-second $29,971.52,twenty-third $41,-943.04,twenty-fourth $83,856.08,twenty-fifth $167,772.16,twenty-sixth $335,544.32,twenty-seventh $671,088.64,twenty-eighth $1,342,177.28,twenty-ninth $2,684,354.56,tirtieth $5,368,709.12,tirth-first $10,737.,418.24,triptych second $21,474,836.48,triptych third $42,949,672.96,triptych fourth $85,899.,345.92,triptych fifth $171,798,691.84,triptych sixth $343,597,383.68;total salary for three years.$687,194,767.36. This is, we suppose, a modern companion of the old story where a Hungarian King bankrupted himself by paying (?) a blacksmith for putting in 32 nails in the shoes of a horse at the rate of a penny for the first nail, two for the second, etc., and suggests also the computation which shows that a grain of barley to the first square of a chessboard, two grains to the second square,and so on through the 64 squares will give a final aggregate exceeding the whole barley crop of the world through an indefinite period. Such facts, however, always strike one with wonder the first time they are brought before the mind. Too Lovely for Anything- "Mamie," said a grammar school girl to a member of the graduating class,"have you finished your essay?" "Oh, yes," gushed Mamie,"and it's too lovely for anything—a princess slip of white surih,the back cut off a little below the waist line,and full breadths of silk gathered in so as to hang gracefully over the tournure,and three bias ruffles on the—"Why what are you talking about?" interrupted her friend; "I mean have you finished writing your essay,you know?" "Er—no," said Mamie,here enthusiasm rapidly diminishing."but I have commenced it,and I wished the awful thing was in Halifax!" "What is the subject?" "The Curse of Slang." "Gracious! Isn't that a difficult subject to write up?" "Difficult? Well.I should giggle.I'll have to bump myself to get it finished in time for the commencement,and I've a good notion to let it slide.I might shut up the Professor's optic by pleading illness,but I'm not that sort of a hairpin.But come，waltz up into my room and look at my stunning grading harness.I'll paralyze you."

There is a big pile of wealth to be made in an invention for scraping and cleaning fish. Something that will take a fish by the tail, and with one yank, or a turn of a crank, leave the piscatorial rooster ready for the pan. There is nothing in the world cheers a woman so much, when she sits down after a tiresome day's work, as to have hubby come in with a big string of fish. Nothing in the world will sink a parent so low in the estimation of an otherwise dutiful son, as to hand him a string of six bass, four small perch and two catfish to clean, just as he is going out for an evening game of tag. What is wanted is some kind of tubular machine that you can run a fish into, and sort out the cookable material from the scales, fins and internal fixings. Home life would be happier, and domestic felicity immeasurably increased by such an invention. Hoodlum Representatives. Washington, July 16.—Quite a sensation was created in the House this afternoon between Representatives Cobb of Indiana and Laird of Nebraska. The latter gentleman called the former a liar. Witnesses say that Mr. Cobb declared that Mr. Laird did not dare to come outside and repeat his lan- Fast Time. The master car builders held their annual convention at Niagara Falls recently, closing June 11. The Western members were taken by a special train of four cars over the Great Western Division of the Grand Trunk, and a remarkably fast run was made: leaving Niagara Falls at 9:45 A.M. and arriving at Windsor, a distance of 229 miles, at 2:55 P.M.—5 hours and 10 minutes, including stops, of which there were 13, and three of them 17, 10 and 8 minutes respectively. Excluding stops, the run was made in 3 hours and 57 minutes—or 229 miles in 237 minutes. With the exception of 11 miles on the Copetown grade, a uniform speed of 60 miles an hour was maintained throughout, and the roadbed is in such excellent condition that the cars ran so steadily that it was observed water in a glass nearly full on the table did not spill.—Toronto (Ont.) Railway Life. Old Orange Trees. According to a writer in El Diario de la Marina, there is still flourishing in the porch of the Convent of Santa Sabina in Rome an orange tree that is said to have been planted in A.D. 1200. Another, in the Monastery of Tondi, is supposed to have been planted by Sir Thomas Aquinas in 1278. In the Moorish Alcazar at Seville, Spain, exists one that was planted during the reign of Pedro I., between 1350 and 1366. Others there are known to be 340 years old. A lady writes: "I have used Aver's Sarsaparilla in my family for many years, and could not keep house without it. For the relief of the pains consequent upon female weaknesses and irregularities, I consider it without an equal." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1886. A SHYING HORSE. Why does a horse shy? Because he sees something which he does not understand, and is filled with a greater or less degree of fear, something as the boy feels when he shys at the burying ground and goes around to keep clear of it. It may be some new or unusual object that the horse sees, or it may be an imperfect view of it. Even a familiar object, if it comes to view suddenly and unexpectedly, will cause a horse to shy or jump, just as an unexpected object or sound causes a nervous person to start. When a person is so startled, how much would it improve the matter to be scolded at or given a cut with a whip? Just as much as the same treatment would in the case of the horse. Harshness only aggravates the matter. The more the horse is scolded and whipped, the more nervous he gets, and every time he passes the place where the fright and whipping occurred, he will recollect the unpleasant affair, and he will begin to prick up his ears, and fidget, ready for another jump. Give him the lines, and he will go by in a hurry. The proper way is never to strike or scold a horse that is startled or frightened. Speak to him coolly, calmly and kindly; give him time to see and collect his scattered senses, and make him feel that you are his friend and protector. When he sees that all is right, there is an end to all further trouble. We have seen a horse refuse to cross an unsafe-looking bridge; but when the driver took him by the bits and walked ahead, the horse cautiously followed. Next time he required no coxing or urging to cross the bridge. He might have been whipped into it at first; but was not the milder course, although a little trouble the ly 247½ English feet. It takes 2,500 candles to light it. The floor of this hall is a light brown rosewood, inlaid with laurel wreaths and French lilies. The King used to pace the mirrored hall and the other rooms of this superb palace in the light of 6,000 candles, and would spend the entire night in this solitary walk, until morning dawned. Then he would step out upon the balcony overlooking the lake, white the sun gradually rose above the horizon; and with a movement of his hand (which was an understood signal) he would set a number of fountains going in fantastic forms of beauty all around him. As he did this he was accustomed to raise his eyes heavenward in the ecstasy of his luxurious imagination and deemed himself one of the immortal gods. The smoking-room of the palace is upholstered in white satin, with a white satin sofa in which are worked sylvan scenes. The floor is of violet wood, which emits a delicate perfume. Torturing Chinese Perjurers to Exxtort the Truth. Having a rainy day to spare, I have spent part of it in a visit to the Government prison, writes a Canton correspondent of the New York Tribune. The court was in session not far away and we walked in to see how justice is administered here. One man was being examined by the Mandarin and four or five more were being tortured. The guide told us that "they no speak truth." We found that they were witnesses with the truth of whose testimony the Judge was not satisfied. A little torture he thought would extract the truth. This torture was simple. A plank is placed on end, and at the top and bottom course, although a little trouble the EVERYTHING. The town of Wilton, Iowa, twenty west of Davenport, with 500 inhabitants has furnished seven suicides since the beginning of the present year, and thirteen deaths of self-destruction within two years is believed that the mania, in proportion population, has resulted in more deaths in any other locality in the United States. Announcement is made that the Civil Labor Union of New York has resolved drop the word "boycott" from its vocabulary. Hereafter notices of official seal of demination will read: "Request every not to patronize" or "not to buy," a case may be. This would indicate that word boycott has been made odious somebody.

"We get 'im christened,' says the father," "the towns we passes, and then ye see parson he makes us all comfortable wit' mat to eat and money for beds. On ourful bad, we has to do 'im twice." There is a British goat society that ing to restore the goat to its former position in England; but thus far without success. The St. James' Gazette says that the goats' own fault, as the animals must by displaying a little more tact and culturing a staid demeanor, regain their foot position.

The first special tea train con- A Courageous Daughter. Miss Mary Beale, daughter of Gen. Grant's old friend, several years ago married a distinguished Russian and they resided in Paris. T. C. Crawford relates in the New York World that Gen. Beale's daughter had a stag hound of unusual size and purity of breed. One day he disappeared. She recovered him by advertising, but the dog refused to recognize his mistress. Suddenly, without even a bark of warning, he sprang and bit his mistress right through her upper lip and then on her check before her husband could reach the stout collar which still encircled the dog's neck. The Russian succeeded in dragging the dog into a bathroom and locking him up, but not until his right arm was bitten and torn from shoulder to wrist. The Russian returned with a strange look in his eyes. He glanced quickly at the fireplace, where he saw the poker was imbedded in the coals, and was fortunately nearly at a white heat. He drew it at once from its bed and said to his wife: "The dog is mal. This is our only one chance to escape a horrible death. These wounds must be cauterized at once." The brave American wife never flinched. She submitted to have the flaming iron burn most cruelly the flesh of her fair face. The moment after cauterizing her wounds the Russian turned to his own arm and thoroughly burned every break made in his flesh by the dog. After this they sent for the surgeon of the Russian Legation. He said after he came that he had nothing to do. The young Russian diplomat had performed the work as well as if he had been a skillful surgeon. The dog tore everything to pieces in the room where he was confined and died in horrible agony. It was undoubtedly mad. Prompting a Clairvoyant. "Say, you're a fortune-teller, ain't you?" blundedly inquired a gentleman the other day, as he entered rooms occupied by a woman who had a sign on the door reading, "Clairvoyant." "I read the past and future, and give advice in business troubles; charges to gentlemen, $1," was the reply. Part of it in a visit to the Government prison, writes a Canton correspondent of the New York Tribune. The court was in session not far away and we walked in to see how justice is administered here. One man was being examined by the Mandarin and four or five more were being tortured. The guide told us that "they no speak truth." We found that they were witnesses with the truth of whose testimony the Judge was not satisfied. A little torture he thought would extract the truth. This torture was simple. A plank is placed on end, and at the top and bottom two other pieces of wood are fastened at right angles, making a frame something like a carpenter's "horse." The knees of the unhappy perjurer are first beaten to make them tender; he is then placed in a kneeling position with the arms drawn straight behind him and kept there by a string which is tied about each thumb and then drawn up taut, the string being suspended from the sticks at the top of the plank. Other cords hold up his feet, being fastened tightly to the great toes and then drawn up so that the leg is bent behind him and held in the air—the weight of the body, of course, coming partly on the tender knees and partly on the great toes. A hole is made in the plank just behind his head, and through this the cue is drawn and fastened to a little windlass. This being slowly revolved not too pleasant result of pulled hair is obtained. Fearful were the yells of one of those men; if a half hour of that would not bring the truth nothing would. Two of the men were softly groaning, and two others had faces like Stocks, and not a mariner came from them. They evidently believed that a he will stuck to was as good as the truth. The sight was not pleasant, and we came away with a great respect for the law as administered in China. This method of preventing perjury I recommend to the notice of our law-makers, for it is said to bring about the required result if kept up long enough. The only flaw seems to be that the Mandarin alone has to be sat isisted, and it is just possible that he might be mistaken at times. Proper Pruning of Muscats. There now seems to be not much doubt about the Chaintre system of pruning being the proper one for Muscats. For this system one long branch is carried from each vine, and the end of it tied to a short stake by the next vine. This long branch is then trimmed with spars, just as the head of a grape vine generally. We will give one instance illustrating the great advantage of this system of pruning. In the Muscat vineyard of Professor Braly near Fresno some three or four-year-old vines have this season been put in Chaintre, while the majority immediately around are trimmed to head in the usual way. The Chaintre pruned vines are now literally loaded with grapes, while those trimmed to head have very few.

"I read the past and future, and give advice in business troubles; charges to gentlemen, $1," was the reply. "That's all right, the charges are reasonable enough," he continued quickly. "It's not my own fortune I want told, but my wife's. She'll be down this afternoon, and I want to pay you something in advance," and he laid a $5 bill on the table, and after giving an accurate description of his better half, continued: "It wouldn't be healthy for my wife to go to the seashore this summer; the fates decree that she would be drowned while bathing. She's undoubtedly going to have a fortune left her in a few years, and therefore she ought to be prudent and economical now, so she will be in a better position to lord it over me when she handles the cash. I think it would improve her complexion to do her own work, etc., etc. You understand, don't you? Do your work well, and you'll hear from me again." And he left as abruptly as he came. Interior of Ludwig's Palace. A correspondent has inspected the interior of the late King Ludwig's palace at Chiemsee, where no one was allowed to penetrate during the lifetime of the King. The castle is built of granite and other stone, and stands on a broad emipence which slopes down on both sides to the lake which lies at its foot. The situation is peculiarly charming. In the interior of this singular structure there is not a single room that resembles any other in the place. Each department is a complete masterpiece in itself, and each is "so beautiful that the mind refuses to believe that anything more lovely can follow." One of the floors is of rosewood, inlaid with woods of darker colors in curious designs. The tables are of malachite, lapis lasuli and porcelain. The Hall of Mirrors is 200 Bavarian feet long or near-vine, and the end of it tied to a short stake by the next vine. This long branch is then trimmed with spars, just as the head of a grape vine generally. We will give one instance illustrating the great advantage of this system of pruning. In the Muscat vineyard of Professor Braly near Fresno some three or four-year old vines have this season been put in Chaintre, while the majority immediately around are trimmed to head in the usual way. The Chaintre pruned vines are now literally loaded with grapes, while those trimmed to head have very few. In the Chaintre system the canes are not staked high, but run on or near the ground, accordingly the old way of planting, 8x8, will not do, as it would hardly allow sufficient space for plowing and hauling. We think 6x10, or 12x5 would be proper—at least that is the distance we should select in our own vineyard. But if our vines were already set 8x8, we would not hesitate to put them in Chaintre. The advantages of the system are: 1st—larger crops; 24—immunity from black knot; 34—protection from sun scalding; 4th—better circulation of air. —Fresno Republican. Increasing the Suspense. A mariner under sentence of death had a number of influential friends who were exerting themselves to secure a respite from the Governor. The Sheriff believed in capital punishment, but he was a charitably disposed man, and had been doing a good deal of running around for his doomed guest. One morning he returned from such a trip and went to the prisoner. "Well," said the man eagerly, "well, what did the Governor say?" "My dear sir, he hasn't said anything yet. He wants time to think." "Good heavens, man! This suspense is terrible," exclaimed the criminal, dramatically. "Don't mention it," responded the Sheriff, in a cheerful tone; "it ain't anything to what it will be if the Governor don't interfere." —Washington Critic. Not a particle of calomel or any other deleterious substance enters into the composition of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. On the contrary, they prove of special service to those who have used calomel and other mineral poisons as medicines, and feel their injurious effects. In such cases Ayer's Pills are invaluable. Access Victoria ascended the throne, as the heir of her uncle, William IV., she by stipulation handed over her entire interest in the Crown property to the Woods and Forest department of the government, in return for a stipulated civil list and an undertaking that any children she might bear should be suitably provided for. Since 1837 this Crown property has immensely increased in value and Her Majesty would be much richer today, it that agreement was cancelled; so that she could resume the control of the Crown property, herself paying out that portion of the civil list which belongs to the Crown and all the allowances Parliament has made her descendants. The Crown of England is wealthy, and it is only for state reasons that during the last few reigns the revenue of the Crown estates has been commuted into a fixed money payment by the people, the people through the ministry taking charge of aid receiving the profits of the Crown property. American editors are perhaps not so much to olame, for the Queen has reigned so long, and it is so many years since the matter was discussed in Parliament that not one Englishman in five knows anything about this business. The Grape Crop. As has frequently been the custom, we find that our grape growers are somewhat reticent concerning their crop prospects, and the wine makers concerning their prices they propose to offer for grapes. Estimates of a production of from twenty to thirty million gallons of wine have been talked about, but there is still considerable uncertainty as to the probable total, though it will certainly be larger than that of last year. About four out five weeks ago there was some exceedingly hot weather in the country which has left its mark. Coulure, that caused so great a percentage of loss last year, has again appeared to the serious detriment of the grape crop. In some districts we learn of the berries dropping off or ceasing their growth, while others on the same bunch are becoming fully developed. If we could gain more general information, we could be in a better position to judge of the value of grapes. Growers should remember that stocks of wine on hand are very small, and that prices should range much higher than they did last year. The amount exported has far exceeded any other similar period in the history of the wine trade, consequently city cellars must be tolerably empty and will need replenishing to a considerable extent. —S.
