From the New York Sun. “Mother wants a pound of dried currants,” said a little girl who came into the learned gro- cer’ store on 8th avenue. “Lhain't got a dried currant in the store and there bain’t one in the city,” replied the grocer. “But I know what you watit and I've got em.” The learned grocer brought forth a box of the little, sticky, sugary, dried fruit popularly know, as dried currants and used.in frait cake, Plum puddings. minee pies, buns and the like. “Why, them's "em !” said the little girl. “Yes, ‘them'a ‘em,” assented the grocer; “and if the Grecian maiden who trod this par- ticular lot of fruit into the package had used = little water on her fect before she began there wouldn’t be so much sand and grit in’em as there is. She must have becn having a regu- lar hoe-down on the classic sands before she began to dance on this box of fruit. There, sissy, tell your mother she must bathe ‘em in several wetors belore, she. uses. ‘em or she might just as put a lot of sandpaper in her fruit cake Agr tll ber they aint y sb ywhond ther.” ‘nat's the reason they ain'tdried currants?” asked a utative customer, “They ain't dried currdénts any more than they're dried pumpkins,” replied the grocer. “The reason they ain't di currants is that they weren't currants before they were dried. ‘That's reason enough, ain't it?” “Yes,” said the customer, less disputative. But what does everybody call ‘em dried cur- rants for?” “Cause they don't know any better!” replied the grocer. “They'll go right on coming in here and asking for dried currants just the same after I teli ’em why they ain't dried cur- ranty as they did before. “Whut should they ask for, then?” inquired the customer. “If any man should ever come in here and ask for dried corinths,” said the grocer, “he would not necesearily be a gentleman, but I'd bet on him for beings scholar. Dried’ corinths is what you should ask for whén you want this little sugrr-costed: gritty raisin,for its a raisin, pure and simple.” urHiow's that?” the customer wanted to now. “Because it was a grape before it was dried,” said the grocer, ““and if dried grapes ain't raisins, what are they?” “But you suid these were dried corinths,” said the customer. “What’ z - anid ‘ss corinth, any. “A corinth is the smallest grape that grows,” replied the grocer, “and it lost its name years and years ago, because it was gradually cor- rupted into currant, which became the name of the acidulated little berry of our garden, which you might dry from now until Gabriel sounds his horn without getting it any nearer the condition of a raisin than a pea is, This little grape grows all over the islands of the Grecian. archipelago was first exported from Corinth, and that's what gave i . The bunches don’t grow much bigger than a stem of red currants and they are so full of sugar that when they are picked and dried in the sun they actually seem to melt and run to- ther, and it takes a good deal of care and ‘bor to separate them again. After they are separated is the time when the Grecian maiden gets her work in on them, for it is one of her Jeasant duties to jump on a heap of the sticky fruit with her bare feet until she has pressed enough of the little raisins. to three boxes intoone. No hydraulic press could do it uny better. If it could, we wouldn’t have the sand and grit the maidens’ feet mingle with the fruit, without which no dried corinths are genuine. “Still, I ghall expect folke to come in here and nak £08 dried currants just the same,” said the learned grocer, as be went to wait on a new customer.
