grouping these geographically. Thus the

sources and advantages of each section.

A QESEKAL DISPLAY.
'■ Besides this general arrangement, I
wan; to have sufficient of the exhibits to I
make general class displays. For instance, j
I wan: to get up a general viticultural and
vinicultural display, which will clearly
show the extent and diversity of this branch
of our State's productive possibilities. I
shall be to have all the charts, pict
ures, maps, etc., that I can get, which will
throw light on these matters. Photographs
of vineyard scenes, wine cellars, grapes,
rti:., are the interesting pictorial part of
.■such a dsplay. There should also be sam
ples oi soils from different vineyards.
Vines of different ages, showing the branch
and root growth, these should illustrate
the prrowlh of different varieties as well as
(he fertility of the soil. There should be
pressed specimens of the foliage. The
vines will have to be dried, and the leaves
will have to be removed ; they will simply
show the canes and the roots. The foliage

EACH MAKER'S MI IK.
A series of exhibitions is contemplated,
and the committee a.-ks the earnest, active
co-operation of all. Let no one hesitate
because he can contribute but little, for bis
mite will help to make the mass, and in
that mass his individuality will not be lost.
Each man gets full credit for what he does,
and all have the honor of doing something
lor California.
re should he a reasonable supply of
important wines that may be tasted by
those who will be specially interested in our
viniculture. This can be SO conducted as
to do great good. It is not necessary nor
advisab'.e to treat every man that comes
along, but a little experience demonstrates
who are the parties who will be the ones
i» assist in making a market for our wines.
Exhibits should be properly placed at
t/ouisvi lie by August 1-uh. but it is prob
able that the collection may be added to
subsequent to that date. It will thus be
seen that prompt action is necessary on the
part of all oiir viticulturists.
HOW TO FORWARD EXHIBITS.
All that need be done by exhibitors, after
packing, is to deliver their packages at the
nearest railway station with special tags
attached to them. These tags can be ob
tained from any member of the Central or
Local Committees, or from the Secretary.
They are addressed to T. H. Goodman,

struction- to forward all packages so ad
dressed to their destination without delay.
As it is deemed desirable that a record of
all the California exhibits should be kept

The Wine Crop.
Recent official reports show how enor
mous has been the increase of wine pro
duction in this country in recent years.
The average annual production from 1*77
to 1886 was 18,954,469 gallons, or more than
7- per cent, of the whole wine consump
tion. From 1 370 to L 876 the ixjnntry's con
sumption was almost equally divided be
tween the imported and the domestic
wine-, but the latter are rapidly driving the
foreign wises out of the American market.
In IMo the total import of foreign wines
was 4,748,362 gallons, or :>T. 1 per cent, of
the whole consumption of the country. In
LBBO the total import of foreign wines
amounted to 5,030,601 gallons, or less than
18 per cent, of the whole consumption.
While the country's consumption of wine
has increased 400 "per cent, since 1840, the
foreign import of wine has increased only
17J per cent, in that period. Jn 1880 ti.'e
total area devoted to wine culture was 181,
--683 acres, and the total wine production of
that year amounted to 23,453,827 gallons.
valued at $13, 126,175.
One reason of the rapid growth of Uie
wine production in this country is *ie
liberaljpolicy of the Government While
spirits are taxed ninety cents agallon and
malt liquors one dollar a bane!, the pro
duction of domestic wines is not subject to
taxation. Dome-tie wines are favored at
thesanu time by heavy import duties on
foreign wines averaging more than sixty
percent While heavy taxation has g
checki '1 the i t. ;•■ spirits for
drink, the exemption of domestic wine
from ta\ has '■:. mption
in still greater proportion. The statistics
of the consumption of spirits, malt liquors
and wines mark the gnat change for the
better t!.;:t i- goinjj on in the drinking
habits of the people o) the United States.
Prohibitionists would do well to observe
that their policy lias done nothing to pro
mote this reform. So far from promoting
it, the chief effect of prohibitory legislation
is to arr< t its progress.— {Philadelphia

Human Eye-Balls as Ornaments.
A correspondent in Peru, writing to the
Toledo Blade, -ays: It is still fashionable
to go on resurrection expeditions to dig in
the Inca burying ground; for mummies
and thing- that were placed in their grave-.
The Incus had tic- same modi- oi preserv
ing the dead as the ancient Egyptians, and
in each grave were placed articles of decor
ation, as well as uten-ils required by the

land. Ring? and other ornaments oi gold
and silver, cups and platters of both metals
in quaint designs, copper articles, strings j
of beads, weaving and cooking appara

sorts of tilings were placed in the
graves, as well' as weapons of war and
other curiosities that interest anti-(':a

Museum. He is writing a voluminous
work on the antiquities of Peru, under the
patronage of the Government, three vol
umes of which have been published, and i
live more are yet coiuhi!:. Any one can dig
up all the relics he want? by hiring a cou"
pie of men and going out into the ruins,
which cover the whole country alqpg the
coast. There are millions of* graves yet
untouched. The most curious thing- are
mummies' eyes — petrified eyeballs — which
are usually to be found in the graves if one
is careful in digging. The lucas had a
way of preserving the eyes of the dead from
decay — some process which modern science
cannot comprehend; and the eyeballs make
very pretty settings for pins. They arc yel

SALT AS A DIET.
some Interesting Facts About It> l\>p
untl Disuse.
No one will question thai < hloride of so
dium (salt' is capable of doing serious
harm i; taken in any but small quantities.
It i- a mineral substance, an antiseptic,
and, tn .-"me extent, a disinfectant, which
indicates its antagonism to living things. A
larger dose than that to which a person is
accustomed produces zreat thir-t and other
discomforts. A still larger dose produces
great nau eaand vomiting. The continued
use of large Quantities produces one of the
most serious diseeses due to dietic errors,
\\/... scurvy. The popular belief thai ar.
appetite for salt is universal among lower
animal- is without foundation in fact. A
certain class only, and that a very small
class when compared with all ether classes
of the animal kingdom, evinces any special
fondness for salt. Dogs, cats and other
' carnivorous or lesh-eating animals, show
no fondness for salt The same is true of
all classes of frugivorous animal-, of which
the monkey is a repn tentative, am! in nat
ural habits ami constitution the nearest
approach toman to be found in the whole
annual world. Even herbiverous animals
do not take .-air daily with their food, as do
hum in beings, but only at intervals, per
haps but a few linn- a year, it at certain
seasons only, which suggests the thought
that probably tiny take it as a mcdi me
rather than as food ; possibly as a vermi
fuge, as ii occasional use is said to prevent
certain intestinal parasites to which these
animal' are Bubject. That salt is not essen
tial even to the health of herbiverous an
imals is evinced by the fact that in certain
pan.- oi the wound where .-a!t is, utterly
unknown as a natural product, antelope "1
all kimis abound in oountless nuniWrs.
This is the case in Central Africa and in
other parts of the worl 1. and it is asserted
by travelers in South Africa — even where
salt occurs in abundance naturally — the
various classes of antelope show no fond
nessforit. We know of many instances
in which flocks of sheep and herds of cat
tle have been successfully reared without
salt.
It is a well-known fact that in certain
parts of the world salt is even more scarce
than gold. In certain parts of Centra I
Africa to say that a certain man eats salt is
equivalent to saying that he is very rich.
Yet these people have existed for all ages,
and have enjoyed the very best of barbar-
OUB health without a taste of salt from in
famy to old age. We have also been in
formed on creditable authority that in Bibe
liasaltis not in use OS a common constit
uent of food: and the -ame was true of
numerous North American Indian tribes
at the time of the discovery of this i
nent and for some centuries after, and :
still true of the Pampas [ndians of South
America. In ancient as well a? modern
times there wire non -salt-eating people,
as we learn from Homer, who. in the
Odyssey, refers to a nation who ate no
salt, we arc confident that chloride of
sodium was never intended in be eaten
a- :,<: article of diet. On theoretical
grounds, it would be just as reasonable to
add to our food quantities of phosphal
liim-, powdered chalk, silica, magnesia,
chloride <■>. potash and cither Baits which
are found in the body, as to add to it com
mon salt. Indeed, the elements mentioned,
or the most of them at least, are found in
the body in much larger quantities than i
common salt. It is not qnestioned that in
an organized form, that in which it •
in almost all our foods, sail is useful in the
body; ertainly reasonable to *::p
--pose that the same wise Creator who knew
just how much of phosphates and carbon
ates and other elements :.> put into our
food, Bhould also have known pre
how much chloride of sodium was best for
ie admixture of this one
necessary ingredient was not left for the
hap-hazard and uncertain judgment of

He was stiff from the long winter's sleep,
and as his head swayed from side to side
the mottled skin began to break just back
of bis neck*. The head swung from side to
side mere violently, and the rent back of
his neck grew larger. A piece of skin,
transparent and looking like pure honey
comb, dropped off and fell to the bottom ol
the cage.
By this time a great crowd of curious
visitors pressed about the glass inclosure,
watching the boa's efforts to peel ofl the
old skin. Sidling up to the wooden s::-h
that held the panes ol glass, he pulled his
length along, scraping the old sk:n off

day was celebrated in the Methodist church
at fie .f'ird Flats yesterday, and the church
was handsomely decorated with Bowers,
while numerous canaries in cages suspend

music to the hinging of the children. < toe
lady, dot having a canary, brought an ac

The parrot behaved well for a time, but
finally when a little boy of his acquaint

causing considerable amusement to the con

Three New Ideas in Styles.
Said the barbei : "The imperial is going
out of .-!;.'■ and is now never worn by
young men except t<> lengthen a moon face
or hide a deformity. Even the elderly men
are having them cutoff. The fashion for
perfei ily smooth faces i- constantly getting
a foothold. The style was set by actors and
kept in motion by esthetic school girls, who
complain that the mustache tickles. As a
rule, the growth of huir on a light-corn
plexioned person is more luxuriant than
on the dark skin. The rage for banging
the hair in front of the ears has lost favor
in dude circles."
Said the shoemaker: 'Young men are
wearing shoes with much thinner soles
than formerly. Many oi them prefer what
is known as the paper sole, SO long in
vogue among women to shop in oi an af
ternoon. The fashion is coming around
gradually to pointed toes again. Patent leath
er is not so much used fur .street shoes.
Yellow, pink and maroon-colored kid is
liked better. The yellow shoestrings are
seldom called fur except by colored persons
or rustics."
Said the notion dealer: "Bright colors
in cravats will be most sought for. The
fashion will be plaids of black and yellow
and crimson, or purple ami pink. The
coming cravat will be of the pattern Worn
by our forefathers— the kind that ties in
front in a knot and Calls down carelessly
over the shirt bosom. The shirt-hider is
in exile." — [Baltimore Herald.
