T^e vastness of London's population is

ing it face to lace in London thorough
lares than evon the still inadequate com
prehension securabio through seeing
some of its component parts in its vari
ous holiday resorts for summer outings.
In the lust Inatan se, if one could server
ally confront its four or live million in
habitants along its seven thousand miles
is. the monotony of the experi
ence would detract from just perception
of its tremendous import. Put when you
might pass an entire month, indeed, per
haps, an entire summer, wilhout being
ablo to visit, witb tiie most careful dispo
sition of lime, any large proportion of its
immediate resorts, finding ateach outing
crowds numbering from hundreds to al
most hundred* of thousands, tbe immen
sity of the totality ofthose who aro "out
ers" aud those who are not, begins to
dawn upon tbe observant mind.
There are moro thau one hundred pop
ulous resorts, from thirty minutes' to two
and a half hours' distance from the
Strand, beginning at Pournemouth and
following the south coast with a circle of
the Isle of Wight to lhe east coast, in
cluding those of the norlh and south
shores of tho lower Thames, and thence
up along tho Channel to Great _ urniouth.
< 11 every pleasant .Saturday half-holiday,
on sunny Sundays and on I lank holiday
and othor lull summer holidays, every
one of those places is thronged, iho

As an experiment in seeing London
outing crowds, in one day's travel I
found, perhaps, 30,000 people in Green
wich i'ark. as many more at Brighton, at
least 10,000 overflowing Koyal Kew Gar
dens, fully 40,000 in Hyde I'ark, where, it
seemed, that all the open-sir speakers of
England were haranguing crowds upon
every conceivable social, political and re
ligious subject: from 40,000 to 50,000 011
ooul Hampstead Heath; and from
100,000 to 150,000 disporting themselves in
the suu and shade of ancient Epping
lorest. On this one duy I secured at
least glimpses of crowds that in all forms
ol holiday making must have numbered
more than three quarters of a million of
souls.

for tno London middle classes and tbe

I (.rest, lt i- hut a pleasant walk Irom
the heart ol London to Hampstead Heath,
for its farthest reaches cau uo no lurther
than six miles from the Strand, while an
Epping lorest toand return fare is but
one suilling, uud lho myriad Loudon
costmongera and other possessors of tidy
carts uud traps find il an easy jog for their
donkeys or screws to either of these re
creation grounds. The result is tnat in
both of these resorts you invariably find
hordesof tiie "common people" filled to
tho brim with horseplay, "four ale" and
good cheeer. They are vigorous in their
m< rry-making us childreu loosed ii-om

naturedly fierce in tue utilization of every
moment of the holiday in somo sort of
I 1 diversion. And altogether they
furnish scenes of tiie heartiest, easiest
provoked, most unctuous and vociferous
holiday enjoyment to be found in all tho
world.
But who can properly describe this an
cient Hampstead Heath and ite quaint
und picturesque .surroundings, or fitly
tell its woird and pleasant memories?

"me bloomin' donah \J fade 10 a hangel,

That was tns idea of its exceeding utility.

sweeping from odorous northern vales,
I e\or inviting to tieir life-giving dalliance
the city millions below, and beating back
from those lields of pleasure the pestilen
tial breath of grimy London town. Is it
any wonder that the hundreds 01 thou
sands of London folk who come here give
themselves to unrestrained enjoyment, or
that this transition from city woes anil
wails produces such a joyous delirium to
young and old that you will hear on
Hampstead Heath more ringing, almost
ecstatic laughter, than in any other place
in all the world?
Seated beueath the tiagstall' which
marks the highest elevation of tho Heath
ono can readily understand how tbe re
gion roundabout has beeu the best be
loved of ali the near haunts of London
naturalists, and why. from the days of
1 ainesborough anu Constable it has fur
nished the laudßea.no artists' canvas with
many of its noblest themes and scenes.
It is the ono place in England where its
greatest city and .1 vast expanse of typi
cal English landscape can be contem
plated almost at the same glance. Wide
open to the wind and suu stretches vale
alter vale to tho southeast, the north and
tbo west. Your circling view extends
into seven English shires. Ear in the
north can be traced the spire of Hainslop

Knocl.olt Leeches in Kent, tiie bills and
downs of Surrey, tbe Laindon hills of
Essex, tiio turrets ol" royal Windsor in
Berks, and a church on tho far borders of
1 'xt iroshire, are in full view.
Lown below old llamnstead, enfogged
by the exhalations of hundreds and
thousands of chimneys, in the distance
its myriad roofs like a plain of broken
and seething lava, lies the metropolis of
tho world, tho dome of gray old St. Paul's
like a peak of (useless steel in a meas
ureless, incinerating mass. What miud

human despair within this single circle of
vision.
Ono is said to always find good com
pany at Hampstead Heath. Yes, even if
alone. You can still sit here by tho flag
stall with no one to converse with aud
conjure up a grewsome or goodly com
pany. It was at Hampstead Heath as at
ilounslow Heath that the Jucksons, tbe
Duvallsand tbe Turplnsof the six teen th,
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries cnt
purses and throats, if needs be, to get
tbem, and made merry as lords at its
inns, some of. which are here to minister
alike to saint and sinner now. Over
against the gardens of Wildwood, at the
side Of Heath Hill ro_d, still stands tho
ancient Gibbet Elm. Ipon its huge oid
arms, many centuries old, were hung in
chains, when caught, thoso merry knights
of the road.
The same locality, as you stroll to
wards Spaniard's road, will remind you

hero like a monk at penance struggled
arid prayed to bo physically new and
whole. It was here that Addison and his
lriends passed tlieir summer evenings in
the gardens of the old "liell and liush"
Tavern. George Steevens, Shakespeare's
noted commentator, lived and died at the
ancient "I'pper Flask" Inn. Dr. Johnson
wrote his "Vanity of Human Wishes"
down there at Erognall, in the o-igo of
Hampstead, doubtless spurred to deepest
conception of the subject by his giddy
wife, wiio. housed at tho Weils, the an
cient Hampstead Heath spa, constantly
quarrelled with her physician about hav
ing her blonde tresses dyed black.
ln tho Grovo at Highgate still stands
the house in which Samuel Tavlor Cole
ridge lived und died. Richardson last
ingly connected his memory with the
Heath by lodgin? nis heroine, "Clarissa
Hariowe," at the Upper Elask Inn. Lord
Mansfield, who once resided at Caen
Wood, used to give dinners to the poor,
to from lour to live hundred at a time,
presenting each guest "with a half crow n
and a quartern loaf when dinner was
over." Lord Erskine once lived near the
Spaniard's Inn, and tbis most lemons
historic inn ofthe Heath, wiiich is kill
standing, owes much of its noteworlhi
ness to its old-time proprietor inviting
the ".No Popery," or Gordon rioters,
who, alter Darning Lord Mansfield's
house in Lloomsbiry, came to destroy
his rural seat at Caen Wood, into his own
cellars, '.vhere they became so drunk that
tho rescuing troops drove them like sheep
down the Hampstead bills into frenzied
London. Dickens utilized the incident
in "liarnaby Kudge," and healso brought
the immortal Pickwick to Hampstead
Ponds to pursue his earnest scientilic in
vestigations.
Indeed a goodly volume could be writ
ten upon these worthies whose love of
breezy Hampstead Heath has left upon it
ono of its rarest and sweetest charms.

It would be a difficult thing to say just
when -iampstead Heath is in its most
ill tiring mood to tho \ isitor. I'or myself,
I most love to sit here and see close upon
me hundred thousand folk disporting
timost ecstatically within its runs and
hollows, witb nn abandon and hilarity
v. hich, lor the day, seem utterly to dispel
the somber shadows of their near work-a
ilav world. They aro so quickly heir
from London, the transformation irom
prisonment to thrilling liherly is so in

ot the sun, the wind, the rugged wilder

at Hampstead Heath-leap and roll and

shrill, panting shriek of boundless joy,
as though the entire enlivening scene
was being enacted for their own holiday

IN RELIGION'S REALM.
Expressions From the Various Re
ligious Newspapers.
Ihe Religious Thought of the Day M
Expressed ln the Sectarian Press-
Some Matters of Interest to Both
Ministers and Laymen.
"The clergy are," says tbe New York
Churchman {P. tf.), "or should be, tho last
people to tamper with tho text of the
Prayer Book, to garide or mutilate tho
services of the sanctuary. The reason for
this is chiefly that the Prayer liook is not
a random compilation of devotional state
ments, addresses, prayers and hymns. It
is intended to represent tlie truth in its
many forma, lt is deliberately woven
tissue, in which are comprised tho truo
theory of Christian worship, tbe true doc
trine ot repentance, the truo theory and
administration of the sacraments. It is
tbe complete and Suing garment in which
tho church bas chosen to array herself,
and cannot with justice or advantage ho
changed for rags and tatters, although
theso rags and tatters may bo gold and
purple remnants ol the original raiment.
The Lnglish Prayer Book basin Kngland
tno binding force of an Act^of Parlia
ment, and tho [Sealed Book is »statute of
tho roalm. In tnis couutry the Prayer
Book is a living canon. It contains ihe
sum and essence of all apostolic tradi
tions, the full dogmatic statement ol"
apostolic truth, the strict law of apostolic,
ecclesiastical discipline. In it tho church
shows herself a teaching church, and it
stands behind the ministry a.s the indorser
and supporter of a teaching ministry.
Tho teaching church will find
expression in the teaching ministry, and
tbe Prayer Look iv its minutest detail is
the best written expression of the church's
doctrine, and so long as it is preserved in
violate, and used without profane or care
less omissions and alterations, it will
prove tho best support of ministerial au
thority and tho best text and reference
to ministerial teaching."
"It would be a.most unfortunate posi
tion tor Christianity to assume beiore the
world," says tho Living Church (P. 1-..) of
Chicago, "if it should appear in tho light
of endeavoring to restrict tho pleasures
which large numbers of people leel to be
perfectly innocent and proper, and this
apon the ground that Sunday recreation
is unlawful. But such a course is still
more unjustifiable when wo recall the
laci that there is a large proportion of the
us world itself which holds nosnen
position. \\ o hravo referred to the case of
tha Seventh 1 lay Baptists, who, as a mat
ter of course, attach no sacredness to the
tirst day of the week, and, if in deference
to the best interests oi the community at
large, they abstain from Sunday woik,
would have a good right to complain if
their liberties were still further restrained.
There are also various bodies of so-called
'liberal Christians,' who unquestionably
do not hold that tho sanctity of tho day
requires them to hold aloof lroui any
lawful pleasure. Finally, among those
who may be called orthodox Christians,
there is still a wide difference of opinion
on this vexed subject, and even 'evangel
ical' Protestants are not at one. In view
of all this we canuot but think that tbero
has been a discouraging amount of intol
erance and narrowness In tbe agitation
through which we have beon passing, as
there certainly has been a great deal of in
temperanoe of language, lar from any
thing which tho essential spirit of Chris
tianity ought to produce."
The Interior (Pres.; of Chicago says:
"Di-. Carroll read somo woeks since a t>a
per beforo ono of our religious societies
upon Christian union. As Government
expert upon religious statistics iho doc
tor's views have attracted wide remark.
He suggests that churches most nearly
allied be tlie lirst to lead off In the much
desired movement, lie marvels that the
Presbyterian Israel should bo divided
into twelve tribes so long aftor the middle
wall of partition had been broken down
betweeu Jew and (.eutile. But from our
own observation we are inclined to be
lievo that the barriers for whicii thoro is
the least apparent excuse will be the last
to give way. It requires more lime and
more skill to graft a branch than to split
a tree, lt is easier to make a new friend
than to heal an old quarrel. Ono of the
minor Presbyterian bodies iv this coun
try has twice survived tho loss of its eu
tire ministry for years. The larger bod
ies can only exist by the presence of a
larger authority in their make-up, and
without such spirit in the minor bodies
thero is littlo use of talking union lo
them. We prophesy that the great bod
ies of evangelical Christians will draw
nearer togethor, while the asteriods of
each system will ily farther apart. Mana
gers of our ecclesiastical meetings know
that tho harmonious conduct of an evau
gelical alliance does not require half tho
tlnesse to prevent friction that Is neces
sary when the • sjeeta ... „it,r,i ofa single
denomination are brought together. All
the tinkering with externals will never
effect a real union if the spirit of union be
not there. 'Where tbat is present differ
ences of form will bo respected—and ig
nored."
"A writer in tho Church Union, whom
wo take," says the New York Examiner
(Bapt.), "to be an Episcopalian clergy
man, argues at some length that tho mam
obstacle to Christian union at the present
time is the unwillingness of so many
Protestant denominations to accept epis
copacy. This, he says, is a mailer of con
science with the Episcopal Church, and,
moreover, by abandoning it thoy wouid
abandon all hope ofa possible union with
lho other ancient churches constituting
an overwhelming majority to Christen
dom. He therefore urges that il is the
duty of olhor denominations to yieid this
point; it certainly would not imperil sal
vation or holiness of living to be under
the jurisdiction of a Bishop. Acceptance
of episcopacy is therefore not a sin, and to
refuse to accept it when this would bring
unity is a sin. Itis nol a little curious
hou blind our Episcopalian friends are to
tho bearing of this argument on one of
tho questions that separate them from the
Baptists. Let us aoply to immersion
what our brother says of episcopacy. It
certainly would not Imperil the salvation
or holy living of any Christian lo be im
mersed, and all otlier bodies know very
well ihat insistence upon immersion is a
matter of conscience wltii Baptists. We
canuot yield the point without disloyalty,
but they can, for they have admitted that
immersion is valid baptism. Therefore,
as our Episcopalian friend so well puts it,
acceptance of immersion is not a sin, but
to refuse to accept it when acceptance
would bring unity may "Oe a sin. It is
a poor rule that does not work both
ways."
"It is very dillicut for us to think or
write seriously," says the Christian fti y
t-iter (Unit,) of Boston, "concerning the
ijetiou of tho 'Prudential Committee oi
the American Board of Commissioners
for Koreign Missions,' if that is the proper
title of the body which has just decided
the ollicial standing of the Bey. Win. 11.
Noyes, missionary to the Japanese. The
awful doctrine which Mr. Noyes holds
dear and the board rejects with decision
is that it may be that, after death, tbe
love of God in Jesus Christ may be re
vealed, may win them and save them.
We said at the beginning it was difficult
to treat the action of the board seriously.
But such a mood is naturally succeeded
by one of wrath a: this solemn trifling j
with the holie-t instincts of the human
soul. It is this that tills the laud with
'inlidels' and 'scoffers.' If there is a heii
whero the heathen are suffering the tor- '
ments of the damned, and the members
of that board, alter they reach heaven, do
not organize a missionary society to
work in that world of woe, they will
show- thomselves unworthy to be in heav
en and unlit to have stood in this world
as the representatives of tbe love of God
in Christ. It may be that they will lind
themselves put on probation after death
for their action on this question here. It
would be only a just retribution if they |
were detained ut tbe door of heaven until
Mr. Noyes had seen all his heathen pro- j
I alienors salely in. Jesus said to certain
men of his lime. 'Verily I say unto you,
tbattbi publicans and the harlots go into
the kingdom of < lod beiore you.'"
Of tho treatment of the Key. Wm. H.
Noyes by tho Prudential Committee of
the American Board, the New York t'ttt
look says: "How long will the Congre
gational churches and nre such trifling?
Ti.e luture will show that this trouble in I
the American Hoard bad its origin in j
personalities rather in principles, that it 1
is continued by per. onal prejudice, und |

conviction in the mil ds tk many meu I

ies is i.,y an entire change -fills manage- \
ment, and by al4ni6iste_.ee. omthe appii
cation of the coifhcii system wt^s ordina

ters. Thoso who think that the liberals ;
are agitating simply-for the piVrpose of
agitation little undt_rslani bdheir temper,
and thoso who imagine that tiie liberals
aro few in numbers n"**iVshut their eyes
to fects. The Nation,* Council at Min
neapolis represented the churches, and,
ss is well known, was overwhelmingly
opposed to the present policy of the Pru
dential Committee. It expressly culled
the attention of the missionary societies
to a declaration of principles in which
creeds of acknowledged weight were de
clared to be sufficient for both home and
foreign service. Tho extreme conserva
tives may have a majority among tho cor
porate members, but tliey are in the mi
nority in* the churches. Tho churches
are tired of this controversy. They wel
comed tho appointment of Mr. Noyes as
a sign that the committee recognized that
it should represent the wholo board and
not ono faction; thut it was willing to give
a 'liberal' interpretation to Lr. storrs'
letter."
On tho same subject tho Now York In
■ a' observes: In view of the his
tory of this case it is quite clear that the
bar 10 the appointment of .Mr. Noyes was
not the Prudential Committee, but the
imperative instructions by which it is
bound; not tho'obstructives' of the mis
sion rooms, but iho unchanged views of I
the candidate; that thoso therefore who !
condemn the committee do so unjustly: !
thut itis ruthor tho majority of the bourd,
acting repeatedly and emphatically in its
annual meetings, who aro responsible;
that the committee has exhausted its au
thority in the case of Mr. Noyes, and
that ho cannot be made a missionary of
the board unless the board itself removes
liio bur to his appointment. The Pru
dential Commitleo has clearly placed !
itself beyond any reasonable criticism on
the part ofthe Liberals. It is tbe Con
servatives, if anybody, who might dis
cover pretext for linding fault with it.
But we fear that the war of abuse against
it will go on. The issuo is tho appoint
ment of men holding tbe future proba
tion doctrine. The committee cannot ap
point lhem until the instructions the
hoard hu> laid upon it aro modified or
withdrawn. The board, less tban a year
ago. refused to do either. There is little
bop that itcan be persuaded to do differ
ently at Worcester. Hence the campaign
agaiust the committee. It is, of course,
unjust to the last degree, but continual
übuso has the power 10 create suspicion
and deepen prejudice, and some good
meil are deceived, and are led to believe
that a reorganisation of the Committee
and officers of tho board is demanded.
It is tho object of lbe liberals, nol the :
course of the committee, which inspires
tbese attacks. They are strategical. They!
are designed to overcome indirectly the
obstacle to the appointment of future
probatipnists. Let no oue be deceived,
und let no corporate member, who desires
justice, be induced to lend support to tbe
scheme for the retirement of members of
the administration."

FIG DRYING AND CURING.
Facts About a Growing Industry of

The State Board of Horticulture has
issued tbe following bulletin:
Tho methods of drying ..and curing the i
lig given in this bulletin, were published
in the report of the Slato Boardof iiorti- i
culture for lss_i, and are now republished !
at the roquest of many growers, tho re
port for that year having become ex
hausted.
BXF_g_U___lM.lV IN FIG cIUINO.
After several years of experimenting
in processing ligs, for the purpose of de
termining the best and cheapest method '
of tho many used in this siate aud of'
those from foreign countries, we were j
able in iss;, to give to tho public two
recipes which bave been used by growers I
with excellent results. Georgo A. Hay
mond of Miramonte, Kern County, who [
has acquired a world-wide reputation for
the excellence of his dried rigs, under
dale of November .», I__9__, writes:
"My process for picking aud curing is
that described by you on page 128 of the
Annual Report of the State Board of
Horticulture for 18_9. 1 havo learned two j
things of great importaneo liy experi- j
ence. The tirst. is, tliat tho trees must '
not bo irrigated later thau six weeks be- i
fore iho fruit ripens. The second is that !
so soon as tho nights grow cool and
there is the loast indication of dew, 1 at '
once stop curing. In either case, if these j
rules are not carried out the ligs w ill tor- I
ment within a very few months after j
curing; these rules apply here. I keep !
my treos as close to the ground as pos- |
si ble, heading out at a foot to eighteen '
inches. My trees have a very dense
foliage, so close that from the outside j
you can rarely look well iuto the tree. I
This, 1 lind, prevents a great deal of sun- |
burn on the iruit, to which the lig is
quito liable. My best ligs como from the
inside. My trees have no so-called first
crop. (The White Adriatic has only ono
crop.) A good thing, as I am satisfied
that crop will not cure ami keep well.
The fruit begins ripening about tho mid
dle of August and is all picked in about
six weeks or less. This year (1892) 1 be
gan picking August Blth and finished
September bah, just as the lirst cool
nights came on, and at tliat time there was
not an average of half a pound of fruit
left per treo—very convenient habit of
the trees."
the PROCESS.
Tho process is as follows: The figs are
allowed to shrivel on the trees, then aro
picked and placed on their sides on trays.
ihe trays used are made of slats to allow
ventilation from the bottom. Tlie trays
aro then placed in the sulphuring-h
or box, which should not be too largo,
and neither should the trays, for it is dif
ficult to handle such heavy fruit witliout
bruising. The trays having boen placed
in the sulphtiring-house, or box, the
door is shut, and the sulphur, whicii is
placed on the ground in an iron kettle or
pan at least two feet below the lower tray,
is lighted and allowed to burn. Great
care must bo usedin the amount of sul
phur that is burned, which is acquired
only by experience, for if too much is
used the ligs will have a smoky taste, aud
again, il" not enough, the figs will not be
come entiiely bleached, and when dried
will not possess the light color so much
desired, bul will retain part of the green
ish tint, especially tbe part resting on the
tray.
TIME TO SULPHUR.
Fruit cannot be sulphured or fumed in
less than twenty minutes from the time
the sulphur is ignited, as at least ton min
utes is required for the mass of sulphur
to generate enough fumes or smoke to
entirely fill every space of the sulphur
house.. However, alter tho box or house
is well filled with fumes, ten minutes
longer is enough lor the fumes to accom
plish their effect. It could do uo further
good if the fruit should remain a longer
time. The object, therefore, in leaving
the fruit in the sulphur bath a longer
time is for the purpose of allowing tho
fruit to undergo an artificial sweat, to re
duce the skin, which is done by the boat
generated by the inclosed fumes. This is
a great advantage, for when the fruit is so
treated and placed in the sun to dry, tho
skin is reduced to a minimum and turns
quite transparent.
CARE IN slT.Piiui.ini:.
Sulphur must not be burned too near
tho trays, for tho reason that tho fumes
are heavy, and considerable pure sul
phur is liberated and deposited on the
fruit. Thus cori9iderablo fruit becomes
damaged. Tho fruit on the lower trays,
instead of bleaching out, will become of
a pinkish color and will not dry. Such
fruit generally when put in the sun to
dry remains puffed up, seemingly full of
air. This can be avoided by placing an
empty air-tight tray on the bottom and
allow the fumes to ascend by tlie side.
Alter the house or box is well filled with
smoke, which eau bo seen through a trap
door, it is about time to withdraw the
sulphur pan.
TIME OF I'll KING.
I find it best to pick the fruit in the
morning, or early in the afternoon, for
afier it has heen subjected to the sulphur
fumes and placed in the sun it bleaches
out beautifully, much better than in the
aiternoon, as the hot rays of tho sun are
an advantage. Fruit picked and sul
phured lato in the afternoon will not
bleach out as well, as the sun will be al
most too weak to accomplish the purpose.
Fruit put out in the morning or early in
afternoon, during the warmest part of tbe
day, becomes much better fruit, pliable,
soft, and the skiu is reduced considera
bly.
I MEATMEN"!' WHILE IN THE sr.v.
Tho fruit having beon exposed to the
sun ibr an hour, is turned ovor by hand.
This is done to allow the part resting on
the trays to also become bleached, as that
part will retain its original color if not
turned over. Afier being out one or two
days handling begins, that is, the ligs aro
rolled between the fingers, popularly
called "lig pulling," or "rolling." This
is drfne to prevent the figs irom getting
hard in drying, and which operation can
be repeated overy day if the operator
chooses, but it is not necessary unless tha
ligs have dried considerably. Alter the
ligs have boen out at least four or six
days, havo dried away considerably, and
havo been turned over and rolled be
tween the lingers a fow times, they are
removed from the snn and placed in the
shade, eithor of a shed or packing houae;
this prevents the fruit from getting hard.
DIPPIHG THE FIU'I I.
All signs of moisture on tho surface of ■
the fruit having disappearod.it is placed
in wiio baskets and dipped into boiling 1
water, the hotter the bettor. This dipping
closes up the pores, kills all germs, and
again reduces the skm somewhat an ;
gives the fruit a beautiful color. It is
only neoesaary to dip the fruit into the
hot water two or threo times, raising it
up immediately. If allowed to remain
too long in the hot water it is lialile to get
cooked, and is also liable to bo rendered
sour. After dipping, and the water hay- '
ing drained oil the ligs. thoy aro thrown j
in a pile, either on a clean wooden floor
or table, or bin, and from time to time I
are shoveled backward and forward until '■
tliey become cold. When the moisture '■
has entirely evaporated, which will be ia
two or three days, it is timo to pack the !
fruit.
GRADES OF Fl'.llT.
In processing fign there will always be
at least two grades of Iruit, tho first of a j
light pinkish color, and the second much !
darker. The reason for this variation in
color is the unevenness in the ripening of
the figs on the tree —and iv picking it is
impossible to gather the fruit abolit tho '
same degree of ripeness. Fruit that has '
shriveled considerably will dry darker, j
The fruit is assorted and the grades
packed separately.
cTI.I.s.
All discarded fruit is assorted and the ;
best put into boxes in layers, simply
thrown in and evened with the hand
and between the layers granulated sugar !
is dusted, and then tbe boxes put under
pressure; the sugar serves to cover
up many defects ih the iruit. Such fruit
ies a good marketable article for
cooking. Culls are also i.sed for making
vinegar, to which purpose they an-well
suited.
;>.\i:i_ itos.
Figs prepared without bleaching are
picked from the tree when shriveled con
d'lv, and placed on irays on their
sides, aud then put in Uie sun to dry. The
nays are made of slats and placed ou
staging, which should be sufficiently
high from the ground to allow a free
circulation of air beneath tho trays. It is
beet to placo the bloom end of the fruit
toward tho rising sun, as that part re
quirea more heat to dry tlian tho atom
end, and in the aiternoon as the suu
changes to the west, the tray is simply
turned around. The ligs beiufr all one
way, brings the bloom ond iv direct con
tact witb iho suu during the hours of
drying. After the fruit has been out for
two days, "linger pulling" or "rolling"
begins. The ligs aro rolled botween the
lingers and turned over on tho trays at
least twico whilo drying, although this
cau bo performed ottener without injury
to the fruit. The fruit having dried is
placed in boxes—hail full—in the store
house one on another. The fruit is kept
in the boxes tor at least six or eight days
to allow it to undergo a sort of natural
Sweat, I ivory day too boxos are emptied
trom one iuto auolher to allow the fruit
resting on the bottom lo become on the
surface and to prevent it from getting
moldy. Alter tho moisture among tho
figs lias disappeared, tbey are assorted
and packed.
Stl.l'Jlfl..
The only chemical action of the sulphur
fumes oa fruit is to bleach on very ex
terior surface. The suiphuir fumes' only
determine tbo color ot iho dried article,
audit is simply used to stop discolora
tion and brighten the fruit. The fumes
deoxidize any germs that are attached to
tlie fruit or produced right on it. The
subjecting of fruit to sulphur fumes fora
considerable length ot time to render it
transparent and of a light color, rather
tends to detract liftm its true ll avor thau
to add to its improvement, fruit should
only be confined iv sulphur fumes with
the objects herein stated. Figs, es
pecially, are not cooked for eating, and
differ in this respect from otner Iruits,
therefore the process should be ouo to re
tain that Ilavor m, os- ntial ma market
able article for consumption iv a raw
state.
