CHAMPAGNE IS VERY OLD.
Monk* Were the Flrat to
tare the flparklinff Wine Many
Centuries Ana,
Th® origin of champagne is rather
mystcriou* and the painstaking naan
hae yet to be found who fdmll write its
true and authentic history, says the
Boston Budget. It was staled recently
In newspapers, French and English,
that the wine was brought to perfec
tion by no les* a person than an old
Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon, who
conceived the idea of blending all the
different gropes of the phampagno dis
trict for the purpose of discovering the
highest, delicacy and body. This is true
as far us it goes, but does not make
Dom Pcrignon the “inventor” of cham
pagne. He wandered about the hills of
the champagne district in the early
part of the eighteenth century and
brought his botanical and agricultural
knowledge to bear on the vines.
Monks of other branches of his order
were also botanists, agriculturists and
herbalists, us well as bookmen, and
there is nothing wonderful in their
discoveries of good ways for making
wine*and liquors.
The Carthusians, founded by Bt.
Bruno, who was a Benedictine of the
“reformed” branch, have given us the
world-famed liquor which they made
from the herbs and aroma tic plants of
the mountainside, Just as the Benedic
tines proper have given us that other
cordial named after them and Just as
mme of the Trapplsta or Slstercians,
who are also offshoots of the ancient
order, founded on MonntCasslno, in the.
year 520, by St. Benedict, hevt-lnvcnled
a soothing beverage which is in com
merce and has a trademark. All these
monastic people, whose orders are now
aday# so much threatened by the
French government, lived in commun
ion with nature and. studied some of
her secrets. Hence it is not surpris
ing that Dom Pierre Pcrignon should
have used his monastic experience in
the champagne district and led the
way to preparation of such wines, for
instance, us the Veuve Clicquot-Pousar
din of the present day.
But the wine of the famous French
province now formed by the detri
ment of the Aube, the Hnnf e-i Marne,
the Marne and the Ardennes, was fa
mous long before the time of Dom
Pierre Pcrignon, the Benedictine bot
anist, wine cultivator. The plantations
of the first, "vignes de la champagne”
date from the Gallo-110-man days, but
their cultivation did not become prop
erly developed until the fourteenth cen
tury. Bhciinß and Epernay, now head
quarters of the wine, were not fa
mous then for their magnificent cellars
hewn in the chalk or limestone and so
admirably adapted for the delicate
work of perfecting the juice drawn off
from both the black and. white grapes.
But tbo “vin de champagne" was mak
ing its way a# the w ine of kings. It was
not yet, however, Iho “king of all
wines," a Leigh Hunt erroneously

WOMEN AS BOOKBINDERS.
In Doing Kino Work They Are C on
•lUered by lOmploycrs as
Superior to Men.
In the old days, when books wore
soaroe and f hero was time for a work
mnn to take pains, men spent weeks
and months binding a single volume.
In our time, when maehinrry grinds
out books by the million, one may
look through an entire library with
out finding even one volume that is
perfectly bound.
Yet fine book binding is still nn
active art, and we learn from a New
York paper that women are the best
binders, says Youth’s Companion.
The most famous modern English
binder says:
“Women ought to do the best work
In book binding, for they possess all
the essential qualifications of suc
cess, patience for detail, lightness of
touch nnd dexterous fingers." In
his factory he has two women to
help him, and every year ho takes
three or four pupils.
One of his pupils is making fine
bindings in this country, and her
helpers are all women. Their fac
tory, or their studio—for they are
Indeed artists —is a room in New
York up three flights. Here are the
little presses to squeeze a book while
It is being cut and glued, nnd sew
ing frames to sew cords to the book
backs, the fat little ridges under the
leather that cross the back of the
bo< >k.
At a table, covered with pieces of
b ather nnd shining tools, the binder
does the finest part of the work.
No part of dressmaking is more del
icate than stretching the leather
dress over a beautiful book, and
tooling the leather is an art requir
ing the nicest skill.
Fine book*, like other works of
art, are expensive, nnd not many
persons can afford to own a really
well bound book. Bui It is good to
know that commerce has not killed
a very old art one that began and
flourished In the dark ages; nnd It
is also good to know that In amer
iea women are the finest artists In
this work.

A TEST OE RELIGION.
Inconvenience of Washday Proves
Man, Says Rev. C. Fontaine.
Pastor of • South Chicago, IIL, Church
Creates a Sensation br a Plain
Sermon—The Divorce Evil
Discussed.
“The husband who cannot expe
rience the Inconvenience of wash day,
and eat a cold luncheon uncom
plainingly from the'upturned bot
tom of a washtub, has no real reli
gion,” declared Itev. Charles Fon
taine, preaching in the First Method
ist church of South Chicago.
The subject of liev. Mr. Fontaine’s
sermon was: “Why We Have a House
wives’ Association in South Chicago, ’’
and In it he reviewed at length the
causes which led married women,
as he said, “to band themselves to
gether for protection from their hus
bands.”
The very plain language ho used
and the views he expressed did not
meet with the unanimous approval
of his hearers, ns during an arraign
ment of divorced people, four wom
en in the congregation arose and left
the building while ho was speak
ing.
“The husband should assist his
wife all ho can,” said the minister.
“Put, on the other hand, the wife
should not be exorbitant In her de
mands. She is the helpmeet of her
husband, and should not object to
cooking his meals when he comes
home late, even if It bo ‘after hours,’
that is, provided the husband has
l>oen detained by work.
“On the question of clubs, I quite
agree with the housewives’ union.
Clubs are a had thing—no one ever
reached Heaven with a club, unless
he was hit with one.
“I have heard many brides Insist
that the word ‘obey’ be taken out of
the marriage service. Why should this
he? Don’t women know, they can get
their husbands to do anything they
want, If they only go about it in
the right way? My wife can lead
me to do anything, but she can’t
drive me an inch.
"Divorce is the eront evil Of to
day. It Is contrary to religion. No
party to a divorce need ever apply
to me to remarry them. lam not
surprised, though, tnat there are so
many divorces. People nowadays
are married In such a hurry.
“A boy and a girl fa"ke the boat
for Milwaukee and race to the Jus
tice’s office. There they wait in line
for their turn, Just as if they were
buying theater tickets at a box of
fice. A few words are said In a
business-like way by the Justice, and
then they are married.
"You can't expect such people to
have a correct conception of the re
sponsibilities of matrimony. No won
der there is such nn organization in
South Chicago as the Housewives’as
sociation, nnd no w/vnder many men
find the saloon more sociable than
their families.”
ENORMOUS ROYAL KITCHEN.

During the recent visit of the Aus
trian emperor the great kitchens In
the Huda-l’osth (Hungary) castle
were enlarged to nn incredible ex
tent at an expense of $1?U,000. There
Is, first, the “little” kitchen, which
Is large enough for ordinary pur
poses. There are four chanceries
connected with the little kitchen, two
rooms for the preparation of the
cold dishes, the cold storage ol flesh,
fish and vegetables, nil lined with
white marble. Tho machines for cut
ting, rubbing, mixing, beating up,
etc., are driven by electricity.
Cooking is done partly by gas,
partly by coals and charcoal. There
are automatic electric spits, four sil
ver grills and the pans and sauce
pans are handled by Ingenious elec

CLERKS WANT STEEL CARS.
Ilallwny Postnl Employes Sny There
Would He Less Danger of
Fire la Wrecks.
It Is being advocated by the Nation
al Hallway Mall Clerks’ association
that moil cars be built entirely of
steel. The postal employes argue that
the mail car is always placed in front
of the passenger coaches and that in
case of wreck its proximity to the lo
comotive often results in the de
struction by lire of the car and its
valuable contents. Their claim Is
that the danger would bo obviated in
a large measure by the substitution of
fireproof cars for the wooden mes
now in use, and that the additional
weight of one steel car on a tr.dn
would be scarcely noticeable.

SINK-HOLES IN KANSAS.
Hrttrrloai Depressions In Ike West
ern Part ot Ike State, and
How Accounted For.
An interesting phenomenon In west
ern Kansas is described and pictured
in a recent report of the United States
geological survey. One of the natu
ral curiosities of the great plains re
gion known as the Meade salt well.
In southwestern Kansas. It made its
appearance very suddenly In 1889,
states the New York Sun.
Or. March 3 in that year the famous
Jones and Plummer cattle trail ex
tended right over the spot where this
depression was soon to appear. A
wagon passed along the trail over the
level ground. It is not known that
this spot was seen again until 23 days
later, when It was found that the
ground for a considerable area had
sunk into the earth nnd the hole was
partly filled with water from an un
derground source.
The cavity was circular, and the
tracks of wagons nnd cattle on the
trail were still plainly seen on either
side of the hole. A considerable area
around the hole had been depressed to
a smaller extent.
The sink hole remains to-day, nnd
on either side of It are still to l>e seen
the road ruts and cattle trails along
which for years scores of thousands of
ranch cattle were driven from north
ern Texas into Kansas. There were
very few routes of travel across this
wide plain. Pat the accident to the
surface occurred on the most impor
tant of them.
Those who studied this depression
were surprised to find that thii water
In It was very salt, although the ground
water in the neighboring wells con
tained not a trace of salt. It was also
found that this saline water had at
times a high temperature, closely ap
proaching the boiling point.
The geologists as yet have not been
able to explain either the saltiness or
the high temperature of the water. It
was also found that there were two
distinct layers of water, the upper
layer, three feet thick, being much
less sail than the lower layer, which
was six feet in depth.
To-day the depression measures
2fio feet neross the top and 12(1 feet
across the surface of the pond, which
is nine feet deep; the distance from
the bottom of the water to the level of
the plain is 40 feet. A good-sized
house might be hid away in the depres
sion.
The geologists say that the Meade
salt well is only the most striking of
the Kansas sink holes, for there are
many other depressions of similar na
ture in the state. Large sections of
the high plains which stretch across
the western part of Kansas are fairly
pitted with large or small saucer
like depressions, sometimes 1 bo near to
gether that a stone may be thrown
from one to another.
Many of these sinks are shallow, but
others are deep, like the salt well here
described. The depressions are so
numerous that farmers are talking of
utilizing them for the storage of the
spring rains, and thus conserving the
water that falls Into them for irriga
tion purposes. It may be worth while
to make them serviceable in this way,
for irrigation is all that the great re
gion needs to make it wonderfully fer
tile.
We have long known of the countless
dnk holes in the great cave regions of
this country which arc formed by wa
ter percolating through the limestone
rocks, dissolving their mineral par
ticles and thus carrying the rock away
In solution. No such explanation,
however, cun be given of the sink holes
of western Kansas. They are still con
stantly forming and are gradually low
ering the surface over large areas, but
how they are formed is not yet fully
determined.
The study that has recently been
made of them by the geological sur
vey seems to show that the settling is
due in the smaller coses to the gradual
impacting of the soil particles by the
percolation of water which collects
from rain in particular spots and bj;
the chemical solution and, washing
uwny of the more soluble particles
which compose the ground.
In the larger sinks which appear
suddenly, like the Meade salt well,
there seems, however, to have been a
saving in of the underlying rock bed,
which is thin in places and has prob
ably been decomposed and carried
away by the underground waters.
