TheYlnes'Iwere critically examined and

unusual and no e'Xtra tillage had; been
resorted to, and yet the vines were won-
derfully rank and thrifty . in their
growth, while the leaves were in many
instances double the size of ordinary
grape leaves and in color the he.“ lthiest,
deepest green. But the chief delight,
year. old I.vin_e , were 132 bunches,
all plump and. full, ..and not a ‘specked

another -Week . to develop the :grapes’
delicate and exquisite flavor, whichi‘iis‘ ‘
fully equal to the average hot-house
grape. The berries are now full sized
and a brilliant green, but as they ripen
fully and reach their highest perfection
of flavor, they turn a delicate amber
tinge. Yesterday the judgmentIof sev-
eral grape-shippers and dealers was
.that they were just at their best ship-
ping condition, as, if left on the vines
longer to more fully ripen, they Would
become softer and more liable to b171- 'se,
and would not keep as long as if‘ship-
Iped at their present. stage of, ripeness,
~ and permitted to perfect themselves in
the boxes-after picking; but that for
home use and near-by shipments, the
fruit would create a greater surprise by
being picked fully ripe and sold at
their highestperfection. The earliness
of the grape is a ' great consideration,
but its vigorous, healthy growth and
its unrivaled excellence of flavor are
its chiefest elementspf value.

This listless work, coupled with the fact
that one of their number was caught

caused such an ominous attitude on the
part of the public that a gang of lusty,
bria‘wny longshoremen were brought in to

the first moment they appeared on the
scene the whole aspect of affairs changed.
The overworked and wornout firemen
gained new courage and stimulus from
the hearty will and giant strength dis-
played, and from now on till the last poor

lagging in the task of rescue.

arithmic vibration, that kept the floors
and walls in a continued state of trem-

the lrders to ldbsen in their places and
act with (iyery roll forward of the pressis
as a ram attering against the front we. 1
of the building until finally the strain on

great, somethinI gave way, and the death

The Saddest Scene Yet.
On of the saddest scenes yet was when
the remen broke into a washroom in the

been washing up to go home when the
building fell and. were imprisoned in their
living tomb. ' They were not killed in the
