The moat Important service ren dered to tbe cause of temperance fur many years It to be credited to the Catholic church. Blahop W attersoo of Columbus, O., Issued ' pastoral letter withdrawing his approval from any and every CathoUs society having- a llouor-dealer or saloon keeper at Its head or among itsoffl cers until It ceased to be so officered, and also forbidding tbe ndinlasloa of any one engaged In .the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors to membership In any such society In his diocese. An appeal was taken to Met. Satolll. and ho austalued the Bbliop, thU4 giving his potent In duraeiuent to the lda that the liquor bualnoM should be placed under the ban of the church In a poaltlva and practical way. ThN action on, the port of the pope's representative In this. country Is being aeverely criti cised In certain quarters, but It Is not likely to be reversed or modified. He has put hluiwlf unconditionally on the aide of temperance and ag growlve boatllity to the liquor Inter eat, notwithstanding the, fact that large proportion of the saloon-keep ers In the Uulted States are Catholics, and he amy bo expected to maintain that posit lou aud to use his Influence In all ways for the auppreaalon of the mott proline of all wource of vice aud misery. . At the recent meeting of the Cath olic Total Abstinence Union at St Taul, the course of Biahop Watter ann and Mgr. Sutolll was approved In emphatic terms. "The scandal of u prt'pondtruting number of Catho lies In the saloon business has been too long endured,'? it was declared, "aud this convention rejoices tliat new day Is at liubd." Resolutions were passed urging Catholics to ban ish liquor from their homes, clubtt aud banquets, to exclude saloon keepers from their societies, and to refuse their support . to Catholic papers that allow liquor dealers to advertise in their columns.' The pope sent his siieclal blceajng to the convention by a cablegram, and letter was received from Mgr. Satolli saying that "the total abstlueneeso-j ciety is the guardian of the homes on America, and they who refrain from Intoxicating liquors secure an Incur ruptlble crown lor religion and country."- Archbishop Corrigan luu written a letter in which he cordially accepts the principle of Mgr. Satolli's decision, which Implies an intention to enforce it in New York) and other prominent Catholic leader- have expressed themselves in the same way. The opposition to this new policy is formidable, to be- sure, and It will not surrender without a determined struggles but in the end it will have to yield, and the victory thus gained for temperance will be a most notable one, reflecting much honor upon tho Catholic church, and contributing greatly to the welfare and happiness ' of the country."

A friend of mine told in that he had the following facts from Iiaron Ilaussman himself ; ' Ordered by Na. poleon III to submit plans for the renovation of Paris,, tha Baron was foraorjMtlma at a loss to meet the twofold requirements, for the contem plated Improvements of tha new streets had to be at once beautiful and so laid out as to bo readily commanded by artillery. Suddenly be bethought himself of modern Washington. He secured a plan of that city, and this seemed on examination so exactly to meet tha necessities of the case that be finally submitted it to the Em peror. Tho result was that the plan In the main was accepted and modern Paris was built ou the lines of mod ern Washington. Thus is explained a certain similarity which strike everyone who is familiar with the two capitals, although one might nat urally suppose the American city, being the younger, to be the daughter Instead of the mother. But General Washington more than a half century earlier had ordered L'Enfant to de sign him a plan for his seat of gov ernment In much the same manner as Napoleon III had commanded Baron Haussman. Now, L'Enfant was not oply Frenchman, but a resident of Ver sailles, and he undoubtedly derived his Inspiration from his earlier sur rounding; consequently Washington saw an enlargement of the Royal Park, with IU alleys extended into avenues and Its numerous flowerbeds and parterres enlarged Into circles and quadrants. Thus, by a trans oceanic leap, Baron Haussmao took from the New World what he could have secured at his own gate. So much for a merely curious artistic coincidence; But in the light of re cent developments In our capital, a singular Inquiry suggests itself, name ly, whether Oeneral Washington, In laying out the city, did not have In mind the Mine .twofold object that Napoleon III had when laying out Paris. To be sure, the present Indus trial army movement now bids fair to end in ridicule. But at some later date a more desperate one may re quire to be controlled by artillery, and then tho bn'iad avenues and straight streets of the capital may be appreciated for other than mere aw thetlc considerations; and, on the con trary, serve as an additional proof of far-sightedness on the part of the Father of his Country.

I am asked to write as to the curing of prunes and will try to give the results of long personal exrl ence and observation fur the benefit of many who are new to tbe bus! was. Last year late spring rains made the fruit very watery, so that it had less per centum of aubs4ance in It and tbe product was , light. Eur ly tali rains came all through prune drying time. So it was impossible to handle or cure the fruit well. It is beyond question true, that all our prunes were inferior In quality to any for mer year, as well as lighter In quan tity. It was therefore a great tri umph for Oregon and North Pad ft r prunea to have inude the reputation they did, for they stand generally al the East aa superior to any. While this Is true, complaint is made that they were oftentimes uot cured enough, and that when they were cured they turned white In many cases, not from mold, or any serious defect, but, I thluk, from the effect of the season, as tho rains madc thein watery aud they could not cure perfectly, as nsual. The present year Is favorable to fruit. All varieties are less watery, ami green fruit ships more safely. Prunes could not make saccharine In the rain and did not have usual ex cellence. This year we may look for excellent fruit that will cure well, be rich In flavor and solid In meat, if our prunes were pronounced good In 1893 they will be excellent In 1894 that is if well cured. So we will see what has been, learned about curing prunes In the last ;docn or more years since prunes were dried In Oregon. Much Interest has been taken in this matter of late, and much said and written about it. It Is generally conceded that prunes dried too quickly are not ao fine flavored or so meaty, that they must be cured, not cooked. That Is, the cured prunes should break open with a bright look to Its flesh, and considerable solid substance. All the sun docs Is to expel the water in fruit aud leave the flesh cured by its action so It will preserve, tho saceharlne"being made sugar, or nearly ao, and the albumen Jellied. If .dried more it has little good quality, if dried less it will sour,' or mold, and will not keep. The most experienced Mieve, by what they1 have tested, that fruit may be dried too fust j that to dry Petite, or French, In 16 to 21 hours, according to al', will make good fruit, aud that Italians should lie at) hours curing, anil larger fruit as Silvers -jet more, tlmt such inisler ate process insures, the heaviest s r cent of yield and the la-st quality o marketable prune. .Wo have dried prunes In much less time that were considered good, but we Want the best. Some claim that the prunes should bo finished on a high heat, but that is dangerous and I cannot -think necessary. With a good current of air secured through the fruit, less heat will cure it. The current of air prevents a dead heat that will burn fruit and Insures better work that is better fruit. To let the heat run down while the fruit Is curing injures it, because It stops the draught of air and the fruit sweats, or becomes cold. It Is as well to make a heat of 176 at the beginning, and let it run down lo 125 at the close. It is possible to burn fruit and alo pos sible to injure its quality by nant of attention. To Insure regular heat have good wood and careful firemen and watch your thermometers. To Insure ventilation, have air holes to let In air near the ground, and remember that no more air can come in than can exhaust, or find exit above. So have plenty of air holes, but be careful that there Is not too much vent above there must be enough ventilation and not too much. This can be easily regulated, as the air holes below and vents above can be closed as found neces sary. A most important need is that the fruit ahould be fully rli. It is the saccharine that we need to jrfect and fully mature. This will Increase even after the prunes fall off the tree. Experiments made in California, with the French and Petite prune, showed that when they dried as they came from the tree they contained 17 per cent of augar, ai.d out of the same lot was put aside for tweuty days In a cool warehouse and then analysed again, and yielded .13 s r cent of sugar. This proves, that fruit rou-t not only be ripe, but very ripe, and that even when prunes full off the trees they can be set away and gain saccharine and make better fruit. Any experienced man can tell immature fruit when dried, be cause It shrivels and Is light weight, has no character, is almost worthless. I have Just received a letter from W. L. Allen A Co., of New York, to whom I shipped 300,000 pounds Ore gon prunes last winter for different parties, hoping to make more reputa tion, for Oregon prunes there by get ting them known by a house for many years laibat trade. . It la not easy to introduce new icoods and they, had hard work for awhile, but at last the quality of ouf prunes bevnme known and appreciated. They do not know that the season made our dried prunes less valuable than usual, and that fact must be borne In mind as I recite what they wrote, which is Important as coming from high authority. They say : "The prunes seut us from Ore gon laM year have left a gtxsl Impres sion In this market and many of our customers any they have never sold prunes equal to your so called Italians. We have never tasted a prune with superior flavor. A nuinbor of larjfe buyers have already enquired to ascer tain if they can deieud on a supply thW season, us, If they can, they w ill not hij-ln.a supply of mher pruno. This Mas one trouble last year, tin Oregon prunes came lit later thun thoso from any other section ami tin trade called fur good hi sts k. A few of our largest dealers have bought shy of Oregon, prunes on account of the keeping quality, so they claim. Then parties all admit thesuHTtor flavor ol your prunes. Certain It is that owing to climaiic conditiou, or iuorai.ce ol proper manner of curing, few of your driers succeed In curing their pruuo In such a manner as to present nn attractive appearance and attain keeping qualities. The prune should ho cured iu such a manner as to ri tain the glossy black surface (we re fer now to the Italian) as long it-pos-tble, and never mold. Of all the cars wo handled but few have Ixitli thosQ qualities, some hud that fine appearance but were so soft that they molded quickly. Others were well dried but turned white very quickly. It Is pomllile that our climate had something to do with this, and yet tho best California packers as do also tho French succeed lit attain ing these objects. In addition let me say It Is desirable to have the skin tender, The .Silver prune should U bleached; this cost but little and add Immensely to the appenrauce. "We predict a suctvssful future 'for your prunes and forsee that us mmmi as they are well known they will be appreciated and even command u premium. We have one thing further to say In regard to grading: Prunes must count as marked; prunes carded 4060 must count so. If they count 51-53 to tho pound, do mt mark them 40 50, but 50 60, or do not complain if buyers will only pay for the smallersiae. Lust year some you sent were branded 40-50, boxes ol which counted (50-70. This was mere carelessness; uy probably counted some and marked the lot ulikt while there was a difference. "Prunes should be cratled when green and then Hgain after they are dried, tind the whole bin thoroughly mixed. Several Mutid-) should be counted, the average taken, aud cize determined in this manner." 1 reMiit that last year Oregon and Wusliington had ruins that injured our prunes and caused them ' to act badly, not having saccharine enough deve!oM-d. This accounts for tht turning white, as I saw, myself, that my own prum-s hud, when In New York, In January, though they never did so Is-fore. I do not fear this year that they will not have irood color or keep Well, but their objection that prunes were not well dried is material. Can-fid olmervn tlon will show when they are dried enough, and that is when the dried fruit Is elastic to the touch and has no soft or musty spot ou it. Fruit not dried euough feels cold and clammy'. When well dried iruit lm a warm and natural feeling. The above Information and criti cism from tho oldest house In the dried fruit trade In America, has especial value and comes In huppily to discuss facts of importance as well as to cncouraKt1 prune growers with proof that we grow the best prune in (he world. I am writing to ask how prunes should 13 packed for that market, and when 1 hear will make their reply public. Last year we shlpiel in boxes because the 20 cents per 100 pound less freight than In Kicks, (aid for the box-s. They say tbe skin should Is-ten- der, which chii only be secunil by dipping the green fruit In a solution of lye and hot water, ono pound ol lye to ten gallons of water.

A crane was rigged and a wire basket (hut would hold a bushel or more was swung and lowered into the lye bath for a few seconds, until the skin was checked, and then was washed clean of the lyo in clear water. My own pl-oces Is that I had two 20 to :w : gallon kettles set In brick over a furnace, the fruit wusdipis-d Hher nately, so as not toosil the lye bath too fast, and then washed in two large tubs of clean water con-tantly renewed and kept fresh. It Is neces sary to wash well lo take the lye off. For dipping pails I ued conl oil can cut down to half a bushel, with a heavy wire around the top and a hail put to It.
