(Agent, ' "" nwiiirrrinvrrrff RIPENING OF WINE. How tho Juice of tho Grape Is Treated In Switzerland. The w ine in Switzerland is loft in the casks till the following birinr, and it is here that fermentation takes place and the mout is converted into wine, says the Cornhill Magazine. The change begins almost immediately; the liquid becomes turbid, carbolic acid gas is evolved, a scum is thrown up on the surface and the temperature rises. A climax is reached;. the intensity of the fermentation diminishes, subsides; the scum settles as a slimy deposit at the bottom of the cask and a clear yellow liquid is left above. The grape sugar lias almost entirely disappeared, a corresponding amount of alcohol has taken its place, and the sweet taste of the mout has Riven place to the characteristic vinous flavor of the ine. In the early stages of fermentation enormous quantities of carbonic acid pas ate given olf, and huge fires are made in the cellars to drive it away. Hut at the time I write of (October, 1893), when the vintage "was the finest of the century-, when barrels to hold mout could not Taa purchased for love or money, when every cellar on the lake from Geneva to Villeneuvo was packed with casks of mout, so great w as the amount of carbonic acid gas in the air that, in spite of every precaution, several deaths from suffocation took place among tho workers. In the spring the wine is drawn off clear into other "barrels, then bottled; vin is not bottled at all, but bimply draw n from the wood. This is the wine sold -at all fhe little wineshops with w'hich Switzerland abounds. It is drawn off into .quaint little glass decanters containing half a liter each, and so served to the mnhurrying Swiss, who drink it round little tables under tQie trees on thesunny pathways or over wooden benches inside the Ted-curtained "winesliops. USE OF THE SHOTGUN. "Proper Care In Handling; to Prevent Accidents. A. good sportsman is familiar -with his piece, and brave enough to be afraid of it, says Harper's Round Table. From the time lie takes it out of the case the muzzle of the barrels is on his mind until he has taken it to pieces, cleaned it, and put it away in his case. 'When he starts out in the morning, he take's out the barrels, and pointing them towards the earth -as Tie holds them in his left hand, he springs the stock into its place with his Tight- Then having fixed on .the little piece of wood which clinches 'the "two parts together, he passes his right arm around the barrels, so that as he carries it the stock points up and behind him atari angle of about forty-five degrees, and the barrels point down toward the earth at a similar angle in front of him. Around his waist or in his pockets he carries cartridges. 1?o charge goes into his gun until he has not only left the house, but actually arrived on the grounds Where he expects to find game. If he has to drie to the proper woods or the shooting-stands or blinds, he places the piece in the bottom of the wagon, pointing out toward the rear, never once allowing it to point towards hira self or anyone else w ho may be standing by. If he is near enough to the woods or shore to walk he carries the gun as described, unloaded, until he reaches the proper place. When climbing over fences, whether with cart ridges in place or not, he places the gun under the fence flat on the ground. climbs over or under, and then picks it up from the other side. Resting a shooting-piece against a fence or wall in an -upright position hhowsthe green horn or the careless and therefore poor sportsman. MESSENGERS OF THE SKY: About tho Iternnrkahle Kites Made IiJ the Japanese anil Chinese. In ihe making of kites shape is no consideration. A square,, circle, man, star, ifish, dragon, horse or shield w ill fly equally well, but they must be equally proportioned. In Japan one sees a whole menagerie at once in the air horses, cows.moukej s, bats, fishes, crows and snakes, as w ell as dragons, bahies w hich cry, boys w ith their arms and legs spread out, hunters and soldier!. "Fighting kites"1 are seen everywhere in both China and Japan. The armed kite is usually made about two and a half feet high andcoered with cambric or silk. The tail may be made of strips of bright-colored cloth about one inch wide, secuiely tied in the middle to a strong twine. Tho destructive part of this kite lies in the tail, to which arc attached sharp pieces of broken glass called knhes. Fasten three of these knives together with wax, so that each shall point in a different direction, bind on three slips of thin wood lengthwise to hold the wax and glass flimly, and cover with cloth or kid. A much simpler w eapon is made by dipping tho ten feet of string next to the kite in glue and then rolling it in pounded glass until thickly coated with a glistening armor of sharp points. The object with both is, of to cut jour opponent's string. The skillful maneuvering which this requires is very good practice in training one to aet quickly. It is considered dishonorable to cut an unarmed kite. Blacksmith's Faces. Is the blacksmith's trademark a scowl? A writer on "Trades and Faces," in Dlackwood's Magazine finds the following to say about him: In most blacksmiths the constant exercise of the corrugator supercili muscles causes a permanent frown, and gives the face a somewhat haul expression; but "whether there is any inward and spiritual state corresponding with this outward and visible sign I am not quite sure. Whether their vharacters in any way correspond with thelr'acquircd expressions I did not discover; there was a giave courtesy in their demeanor while in hospital which was singularly dignified and pleasing, although slightly suggestive of the politeness of foes during an armistice. Powder Pairs. Probably not many women know where the powder puffs with which alabaster brows and blushing cheeks are produced come from. Thei e is a place in Chicago where some nimble fingered girls are engaged all the tar round in making them. The material is the soft, fluffy down from cygnets or young swans, nnd it comes latgely from the islands of the Ualtie sea. The Populists of Ohio have nom inated Coxoy for Governor of that Statel SKFi . 4 y W, A CORNER FOR WOMEN. The British matron is nettled by Daudet's caustic observations on her lack of physical charms and of her taste in dress. She says in reply that the French novelist saw very little of England. Jim Fisk was worth about two million dollars when ho was killed by Ed. Stokes. To-day risk's widow is living in a humble frame house in the tenement district of Boston on an income of fifty dollars a month. lturus Waterhousu, a wealthy manufacturer of men's furnishing goods in New York, recently deceased, has left a legacy of two hundred thousand dollars to found a consumption ward in St. Luke's hospital, to be named in honor of his deceased w ifc. Mns. CixveIvAXd's great fondness for flowers is well known, and she has an especial fancy for great flowering plants, but is enthusiastic over all flowers, from the most modest wild flower to the conservatory-bred rose and or chid. Loxo as she has resided in England, the princess of Wales has never mastered the English accent. "Channel," for instance, she pronounces "shannel," and there arc many other little difficulties of speech which betray that she is a foreigner born and bred. Mrs. Ida Buxton Cole, prominent among suffrage speakers, says: "We read in the Bible that after the Israelites were all worn out with wrangling and dissensions God gave them a woman Deborah to judge them; she ruled over them for forty and we read that 'then they had a rest.'" Ax appeal has been issued to the women of the south for funds with which to build a monument to, the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee. An association formed for the purpose has the matter in charge. It is proposed to erect the monument in the churchyard of Christ church, Alexandria, Va. SAYINGS OF THE WISE. Time is the herald of truth. Cicero. Patience is the key of content. Mohammed.

Japan's war in Formosa is likely to increase the price of camphor, as that island and Japan are the eh cf places from which we obtain the drug. Japan proposes to build a steel tow er 1,000 feet high at Tokio to commemorate its victory oer China. Itwlllbe adorned with statues of Japanese worthies. Anton Lirr, of Miskolcz, the last Ilungarian survivor of the battle of Leipzig, died lately at 102. For some years he had been the only living person wearing the "cannon cross," made of the guns taken in the battle, the emblem of the military order established by Emperor Francis of Austria for the campaigns of 1813 and 1814. His cross was buried with him. Some of the troops engaged in the Chitral campaign seem to have learned the lesson of saving their ammunition. At the taking of the pass, the Second brigade, which bore the brunt of the fighting, w ith 2,825 men, fired only 19,745 rounds, an average of less than seven per man. The engagement lasted set eral hours, and was the first in which the Lee-Metford rifle has been used w ith cordite. NAMES OF OUR RIVERS. The Acquia creek, in Virginia, lias an Indian name, signifying "muddy water.' Lackawamta is a corruption of the Indian w ords stream that forks." IIumboi.dt river, in Nevada, was named by Fremont in honor of Baron Humboldt. The Ocklockonee, in Florida, is named from a Seminole word, meaning "j el-low w ater." The Atchafalaja, in Louisiana, was named by the Choctaws. The word means "long river." The East river, North river and South river, at New York, were named by the Dutch. THE GERMAN EMPIRE. Gfrman frugality is shown in the letting of the old Reichstag building for business purposes at ?"00 a j ear. Slag from blast furnaces is and used for fertilizing farm lands in Germany. In North Schleswig the Danish Language society has been ordered to dissolve, as the Kiel judges decide that it is a political club. Berlin is the most cosmopolitan of large European cities. Only thirty-seven per cent, of its inhabitants are German by birth. A sociftv for the suppression of scandal ha . just been started at in East Prussia. Every scandalous story spread in the town will be traced and theoriginator prosecuted by the society. Insects on the Track. In Russian Turkestan a train was recently stopped by caterpillars. The insects were crossing the track when the cars struck them, crushing them into an oily paste, which made the rails and wheels so slippery that another locomotive was required to move the train. The same thing happened in Kansas during the last locust invasion. I have an excellent pasture to rent at Graham. Plenty of grass plenty of water. Terms 8l.p0 per headper month. '"JrRhp"bLsolB T K At Arf-J"U AMERICAN FACTORY FIGURES. In the Indian territory only'175 persons arc engaged in manufacturing, their annual output being ( i 18,032. West Viroima has 21,009 hands in her manufacturing establishments and turns out $38,702,125 worth of product. The proportion between capital and product has steadily diminished since 1850 from 80 per gent, down to 71 per The woolen factories of this country arc mostly located in New York, New England," Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Montana has only 2,090 persons employed in factories, these establishments turning out a product valued at 5,507,573. Mulhai.i. says that the manufactures of the United States exceed those of " Great Britain in the proportion of seven to four. In the manufactories of Alabama-there are employed 33,621 hands who turn out annually f51,2J0,C03 worth of product. In 18S0 the gross product of the woolen mills was valued at?207,O00,000; ten years later it had increased to $338,-000,000. The state of Iowa i3 so far from being wholly agricultural that it has 59,-174 persons engaged in its factories, whose annual output is $125,019,183 Viroima is becoming important as a manufacturing state, having 59,591 manufacturing hands, who make a product valued at $33,303 824. OUT OF THE ORDINARY. The Connecticut river was named by the Dutch Versche river, "fresh river.'" Quicksilver, poured in a glass, will not fill it to the brim, as it forms a convex surface, and is higher in tho ter than at the brim. A novel way of committing suicide w as attempted by a crazy negro in Cory-don, Ky. He clutched a mulo's tail, and clung fast to it until tho animal had almost kicked him to death. A riOERlately on exhibition in Lyons, France, became ill and died. An autopsy revealed the fact that for months the animal had been a sufferer from a well-developed case of Brtght's disease. ' 'Longshore folks in Maine- are tell- ing about a big "white whale" which has been seen cruising off the coast in that region lately. It is said to be about forty feet long and "of a grayish black color." Three brothers, Victor, Peter and Frank Koch, were married at the same time and place, on May 3, 1870. They and their wives recently celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary in Scranton, Pa. A certain household in Saugus, Me., continued in a state of excitement from hazy morn till dewy eve. Betw ecn the-hours of dawn and dark the members were kept busy with a fire, a birth, a death and a marriage. TnE only man present at the funeral of Miss Bertha Ro,se, who died lately in Clermont, Fin., was the driver of the hearse. She belonged to a club composed of women, and insisted that only women should take part in her obsequies. A SMATTERING OF SCIENCE. Dr. Bliss, tho agent of the Palestine exploration fund, has discovered a ruined town east of the Dead sea. Dr. Leslie Phillips, a scientist, warns women against wearing their hair short. He says men become bald because they cut their hair. Bv the discovery of helium on our globe only two permanent lines are left in the chromosphere spectrum of the sun which do not correspond to lines obtained in terrestrial spectra. Experiments to find whether argon can be obtained from vegetable or animal, tissue have resulted negatively, the quantity of the new gas obtained in this way not being appreciable. Il-is believed that tho elephant, tho rhinoceros, the bear, the hyena, anil other wild animals, were at one time common in England. The bones of those animals have been found in Kent's cavern, about a mile from Torquay. According to Prof. Barnard, there is no ground for the supposition that the rings of Saturn are" closing in upon the planet, as his observations show that no changes have taV en place since the first systematic measures were made. , ABOUT WOMEN. Mary Rose Sartoris, daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris, is suffering from an accident, the result of an experience on a bicycle. Rev. Anna Shaw was asked to name one of the big trees in the Yosemite alley, and she chose one of a group of three particularly fine ones, and named it Susan B. Anthony. Miss Maria M. Love, of the Buffalo W. C. T. U., told the local conference of charities and corrections recently that if girls would learn to cook, sew and keep house tidily there would be less drinking by men. Miss Powderly, the American " tary to Lady nenry Somerset, is a New England woman with a college education. She is a linguist, musician, stenographer ' and typewriter, besides being, a very beautiful penman. . j ' SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS. A man in Unionville, Mo , claims that saltpeter is an infallible cure for snake bite, and cites personal experience in support of his claim. It is said the wound mnde hv r.hs tooth of the cobra snecies of sernent is '' j ' a mere puncture and causes little swelling. Death ensues from paralysis of the nerve centers. M. Laborde, a distinguished French savant, contributes to La Revue a paper calculated to prove that human kind is reverting to ancestral forms; that is, becoming monkeys'agairi. Prof. Runoe, of Hanover, says that the bright yellow line in the spectrum of gas from clcveite is double. This destroys its identity with the helium line unless that can also be shown to be double. A shameful story, a story that ought to be incredible, is printed for truth in Kate -Field's Washington: A well-dressed young woman recently went to. one of the taxidermists of the. Smithsonian institution, carrying with her in a cage a bright canary bird. "1 have hunted all over the city for a bir of just this color,"' she explained, "because I want him to match a gown 1 am having made." She wished the ta; idcrmist to kill it and set it up, that she inignt wear it as an ornament! "Thoa-' sands of women wear Wrds on ta6tr&Jj V4 IL. -.... In il.- nit.
