The usual ti e for pruning raisin
vines is in Decenaber and January. It
may be done at any time after the leaves
fall and. before the buds start. A second
or summer prun'ng is practised by some.
Removing too nany of the leaves ex-
poses the berrie to sunburn, A low,
strong stump yid h short spurs,iiasures a

just before the buds start the ground.
is well plowed, and then irrigated
heavily, If a Second irrigation ean be
avoided, the better ; if not, there should.
be given the vines test enough water to
ripen the fruit. When the berries take
on a clear, whit et amber color, as they
do between the first and middle of Sep-
tember, they are at maturity. To make
first-class raisins they must be fully
ripe.
The picking of the grapes is done by
Chinese and. Iiridians. Some pick by
the day, others by the tray. The wages.
vary from $1.50 to $2 per day. Each
picker cuts the fruit from two rows of
vines as he proceleds. The bunches are
placed upon traya—wooden—holding
twenty pound a es,ch and set at intervals
betweeu the row. Great care must be
taken. not to destiny the bloom with the
hands,. as that detracts from the
appearance of the raisins. Three trays,
twenty pounds each, will make twenty
pounds of raisins. The berries shrink
about two 'thirds in drying. With
favorable weather raisins will cure in
about fourteen days. When showers
fall the trays are stacked oue above
another, with the sides well Protected.
In this position he fruit will stand a
heavy ram witho t detriment It has
been learned that to incline the trays to
the sun hastens the evaporation. When
about half dry the fruit is turned in a
body. This step requires dexterity.
An empty tray is iaverted upon a full one.
Foir men then turn bothtrays siraul-
taneausly, the fell tray becoming the
empty one.
Frequently, during the process of dry. -
ng' the the trays are left on the ground
between the rows Sometimes they are
disposed in an open space for the full
rays of the sun and the sweep of warm
air. Mr. Backus arranges his trays
around the margin of his vineyard. An
early custom wean) cure the grapes on
the ground itself taming the bunches
by hand. Later tlaey were laid upon
paper, then upon boards, then mien
frames made of lath. Trays are of very
raodern invention.
The berries, not being of uniform size
it will be readilyunderstood that they
caamot dry evenly. But before packing
the moisture must be equally diffused,
the fragile stems baust be made pliable,
that the bunches be not broken in pack.

be developed. To accompliah this, the
trays are placed fpr a few days in sweat

ers" and " loose Muscatels," From the
last grade the Riaerside Packing Com-
pany selects th.e small, seedless raisins,
and classes them as " seedleasSultanas,"
though grown on Muscat vines. Before
turning the trays, some parties remove
the elustera which make London layers,
and place ti ena oi separate trays,where

known as whole boxes. They contain
four of the five peertd packages. In the
smaller boxes the layers are separated',

California. raisin -makers are learning
that vines allowed to overbear produce
an inferior qualtylof raisins. A larger
size and higher fayor are obtained whea
they mature only a limited number
of clusters The man who took the
premium at the Centennial Exposition
at Philadelphia,a ineyardist of Malaga,
does] not permit he vines to exceed two
pounds of grapes. each. His beat raisins
sell for aidd per boxl in Malaga. His
grade is the quality imported so largely
'into the United, States, and is said to
be equal to the ay age California, raisin.
The i-nference is alai:a. Some fifty or
sixty varieties of table -gra,pea of large,
size and of fine ftalvor are grown on this

The danger of wearing next the skin

of the ill effect caused through the
absorption by the Olin of these irrit t -

warnings are repeated. and illustrate in
a base of exhibits sent to the Hes th

A Bat arrid Its Wings.
There is a single property with wh oh
the bat is endowed, too remarkable alnd
curious to be passed altogether unno ic-
ed. The wins of these creatu es
consist of a delicate and nearly nailed
membrane of great size, consideringtho
size of the body; but besides this tlhe
nose is, in some varieties, furnis ed
with a membraneous foliation, and in
others the external membranous ears
are greatly developed. The membranrus
tissues have their sensibility so high
that something like a new sense is
thereby developed, as if in aid of tlhe.
sense of sight The modified impression
which the air in quiescence pr in moti n.
however slight, communicates, tlhe
tremulous jar of its currents, its tein
perature, the indescribable conditicIns
of such portions of air as are in contr4.ct
with different bodies, are all apparen ly
appreciated by the bat. If the eyes of
a bat be covered up, or if he cruelly e
deprived of sight, it will pursue ts
coarse about a room with a tlaousa d
obstacles in ite way, avoiding them al;
neither dashing against a wall ' or
touching the smallest thing, but thre d-
ing its way with the utmost precisi n
and quickness, and passing adroi ly
through apertures or interspaces jot
threads placed purposely across *Ie
apartment. This endowment, whi h
almost exceeds belief, has been ab n -
d antly demonstrated.
The Frst Teetotaller.
Mr. Joseph Livesey died at his re i..
deuce, Bann Parade, Preston, a f w
days ago at the age of 91. This gent 'e -
man had a remarkable as well as a p o -
longed career. He was born at W 1-
tonel-Dale, Laircashire, on March 5 h,
1794, and a sketch of his eventful car er

child -labor, self education, at the ha
loom, and business efforte, resulting_
a successful competence after ma
struggles. Seventy-five years of hied g
career were marked by philanthro lc
usefulness, and tveli-planned endeailor
for the amelioration of the human ra e.
Mr. Livesey devoted himself most n -
tensely to the temperance movement of
which in the form of total abstine ce
he may be said to be the founder, h v-
ing on' the 1st of September, 182,
drafted for the signature of himself aid
six others the first teetotal pledge. T e
term teetotaller was invented by hi •• •
and is a testimonial of his empha ic
nature and thoroughness of purpo e.
From 1832 for a period of about fi ty
years his labors and sacrifices on beh if
of his favorite cause were without pr.
allot, comprising the delivery of tho s-
ands of lectaree and addresses, the r -
ciliation of millions of paraphletsarae s,
and leaflets, the last of these being is
annual temperance address on N w
Year's day, 1881. The free trade mo 0 -
meat had also in Mr. Liveeey a in st
energetic and useful supporter both tri
the platform and in the press, and a so
by pecuniary contributions. Fatly t n
years before the organized agitation in
which he was associated with Cobdtn,
Bright and others, he wrote against t e
corn laws in his Moral Reformer (a
monthly magazine published in 1831 2-
-3), calling them "tho curse of the co u -
try." He also founded the; Prest n
