The Sew Vui:'.: I'oinnjcro U jlilV'rtiset',
that tho usu of wine among tho army of
business men who are da lv fe.l in the
lower portions of tlmeity is iuereas ng.
Tlio keepers of retail rant sav that ful
ly two-thirds of those p.tyiug .'io eouts
and over for si luncheon drink ale, beer
or wine, and that th majority would
prefer the latter w.-re they muo that
they were furnished with an iinilrugged
and unadulterated article. Mueh Tims
been said relative to manufactured
wines, and (he fun of drinking them is
only second to that of eating oleomar
garine or gl iioono. The lallor are not
positively injurious to thu h -alth, whilu
thu fonn.tr are open to all the objec
tions u-uallv made to spirituous drinks,
and are in addition really harmful to
the system. As many as'J,i500, Oj gal
lons of wino are often received in Now
York m onu moalh. and it is an open
question what percentage of it is tho
pure and unadulterated juice "of the
grape. In ordor to s 'o what portion is
either American production or else of
foreign or domo-t c manufacture, one
must to two nt soiuo idea of thu amount
of the foreign vintages.
Tho leading fori) gn rod anil whilo
w'nou aro tho Chateau Lalitto. Chateau
1 Quoin. Chat 'an Morgans. Chateau
Ilaut-Iirion. Moselle, and Chiante.
With tho. exception of the hitter wino,
tho following table shows thu amount
j)roduced of each in 1831: Chaloau La
fitte, first and second i lass. j8f hogs
heads; Chateau Y'Qiioin. 12.000 dozen;
Chateau Margaux. lirst and second
class, 070 hogsheads, and Chateau
Ilaut-Hrion, 4jJ hogsheads. Chiante,
which is popularly supposed to bu an
Italian wine, lir.-t common led itself lo
the American public by reason of the
fancy bo! ties, wiokor-eovered. in which
it is sold. When tho empty bottles are
not sold outright for decoration, thov
are taken to some con vouiont cellar and
rolilloil. It wdl be s sen that were thu
entire vintages of 1$ ir loaux and Bur
gundy brought to New York they would
bo but a drop in thu vinous ocean.
How, thou, is tho supply procured?
In March, 18SG. l.Mo.oOO gallons of
Cnliforu a wines were brought to New
York City alone. This was an unu-ual-li
heavy cons gum 'tit, and it would
have to "be k -pt up st adily were noth
ing but pure wine drunk. By what
means, thou, ;s tin deficit between the
combined w no product of Europe an I
Aiiiur.oa an I the amount actually con
sumed .supplied?
There aro several old Frenchmen in
New York who hnvo made almost na
tional reputations as w.ne dealers and
experts. Toey hav i ab ut retired from
bu in iss, but. wit i thu proverbial thrift
of their nation they M II liud limu to
lend to their shops a few hours daily.
Somi) of them have large restaurants
in connection w th their wholesale and
retail wine trade, an I favored custom
ers are often given an oppotruuily to
Ginaek the.r I ps over soniu rare old
wine, who-e label is to.i dust-berimed
to be legdj'o, and as ihey hold tho w no
to thu I gilt they bec.iniu enthusiastic
over its color, llavor and bouquet, ami
probably order several doz n bjttles of
it sent to their ho.n ;s. Now this winu
may be old and it may bj new. It may
bo imported from Franco, or porohancb
it was pnsuid out on tin sunny Italian
hills; I ut it is more than probable that
tho old Frenchman, unless ho knows
that his customer has a trained or del
icate palate, has given him some win
that is but the partial product of the
vine, and wascon outed under tho sk li
. ed oye of monsieur m the sub-basem mt
'of thu vorv establishment whore it is
drunk. Whv should one tin I fault? It
is surely more complimentary in a host
to give one tho resu t of his own 1 ibor
than tofurni-li o id with l hat of another.
If it is a real wine thero is exactly ono
chance in ten thousand that it is what
tho Jabel represents it to ho. It may bo
tho outcome of a jud ciotis mixture of
several indifferent varief cs blonde I into
a hiirmon'oiH whole, or it ma-- be an
American wino sailing under faUo col
ors. Hum-in inirrnttllv has nnvor vot bun
ablo to mike w nu'witho it soni-j small
percentage of alcihol. so this uluincr.t
remains as a oasu lor tlio worst ot pro
duetions. As it rule the manufactiirei;
wines are ollorud cither as Califoru
wines, or as via ordinaire, or sour
claret. They ant the distillation of rai
sins colored with logwood. The raisins
we placed iu u vat lille 1 with water at
n tomperaturo of 03 il igrees, thoro be
ing fifty-live gallons of water to ovory
hundred we ght of raisins. Some su
gar s often thrown iu lo ha-t m fer
mentation, wh oh usually lasts eight or
ten days, at thu end of which lime the
I quid is drawn ofT and want is made.
II is of course pale, and it is doctored
with some high-colored Spanish wine,
which is cheap, and thou a solution of
logwood isaddod. These wines do not.
nt the mosi, contain mom than ten per
cent, of alcohol and having but little
taiiniu llioy w 11 not keep long, Whun
Wine is thus produced it will not cost
much. Ra'slns are not oxpeuslvu, and
n moldv article answers as well as one
that is fresh. Thoy may bo bought for
88 a hundred weight, and sometimes ut
80 ami $7.
When full allowanco has been in ado
ortho coil of muuufacturo thoro ro-
imuns an ample pwlit when thoy aro
sold at "0 cents a gallon. A noted
French chemist has d olarod that Iho
raisin wino. if not drugged, is vastly
more healthful lhan many of the mix
tures, nio-t of thoin deleterious, sold
for genuine wino. This may give Wiiio
drinkors a -park of oncouraiioinont, for
there is no way of accounting for the
con-t:mption of the enormous rals n
p.roduct- of Italy, Turkey. Spain, ami
ilrecce. unless one admits that they are
used to take the place of grapes. Eu
rope formerly u-od 8.00.) tons of raisins,
and now it is e-lmiatod that the pro
duel is 7.'i.0i)J tons. This i- not allow
ing fur the large output of Iho Califor
nia ra'sin vnoiard. But the counter
foiling of w.nes. unhappiL, doe- not
stop with the raisin product. There is
a lion-e iu New York ndvortU'ng native
winos that does not us.) even .-o much
as a dr ed grape. l)i-t lied oak-wood
chips, logwood alum, nods, nnd about
2 per cent, of alcohol are nil that aro
u-od to ni.tko Bordeaux, Burgundy,
port, and sherry wines. The cost of
manufacture does not exceed !1 cents a
gallon, and it can readily be seen that
auv price at all for the stull' would givo
a b g prolil. Several big hotels have
inadvertently invested in it, but iu tho
end it could not bo used oven at tho
servans' (table.
A prominent California wiuc-dealer
advertises "La Ross claret, without
labels." llo gave as an cxplaual on
that some of his best customers pre
ferred to plaeo the r own labels on
hollies. There is a firm on Corllstndt
street that makes a btisiue.-s of supply
ing them, and many hosts hud rather
set lioforo their guests so-called rare
vintages to an acknowledged American
product. This is not to bu wondered
at. for California wines aro now pro
duced of so fine a flavor and bouquet
that the veriest ep'cuve is likely to bo
deeo ved m them if Ids suspicions aro
not roused. Native w ties, when
bought by tho
hogshead or
cask, do
not co-t more than '-'5 cents a quart
when bottled, and a thrifty man can, if
hu w.suly chooses his labels, make a
dinner party cnthu-iastic over tho lon
l.ents of his cellar. beMtlos cllecling an
enormous saving. Clubdom abounds
iu.-t tries of how Dick this and Tom
that, or, it may be, some noble duke
or lord, have boon heard lo loudly
decry tho mu-ky, earthly flavor of
Am 'f can wines, and then, by some
cleverly-planned ru-e, bo tnado to
literally drink their own words.
Lion Hunting in tlio Transvaal.
A correspondent of Forest nnd
Slrcitm writes: "The lions wore swarm
ing; nearly every day the boys would
see two, Ihrco or four. I only saw ono
and killed him. IL) has a ;ood skin
and a splendid mane; a very old fellow
and fat as a p g. He got our wind and
was trotting oil", so wo trotted after
him, knowing that he would stand,
look back and give us a :ood shot.
They go very leisurely. Hu stood at
about one hundred yards, and my little
boy with m. Mat tin lired close to my
car Iho very instant I was pulling Iho
trigger of thu Express, and I nns -d
him. Of course thu b y also missed,
iiowever, we ran on again and he soon
gave us another chance, ami 1 brought
J t i in down. You can tell at once when
they are wounded; thoy go no further,
but stand and roar coiit uuously. and
you have a good shut nuxt time. I ran
in. to about bovonty yards, and put an
Express hollo. v bullet into his ribs,
when he loll over. Th-.m I went cloiu
up and put a buil t through his head.
'Anothur tlai Iliad Ihree young boys
with me, and we followed a wounded
giralle too long and lost our where
abouts. Thu boys were very deter
mined to line! the camp, anil we walked
for three hours aftersuudowu. Just by
accident we name near the dead huli'alo,
mid lo hear the Hons feeding and light
ing ami roar ng was well worth a long
walk and a sleep out.
"The 1ms would go no further. Thoy
made half a do.en big tires and we slept
in the contar. We had had no wat.tr
since the forenoon, and nothing to cat
shico before sunrise. I couldn't describe
tho row the brutes were making it was
terrible. I proposed to "o nearer and
nit up in a tree and I sten, and perhaps
get a shot, but my boys wouldn't hear
of it. It do is not matter tor 1 ous or
hyenas as long as you can make a lire,
and there is always plenty of wood.
The hyenas aro strange animals; they
are in hundreds around your camp
every night, howl ng and laughing, and
ton'slruigor voi r alarnilng; llioy mo
fierce looking and coin i w thin a few
yards, but are great cowards."

young ami Imndsoinu Quakeress, who
was slo gh-riding with two of her
Lu tux.
She had a vory larso mull, and one
of the young men put his hand in ami
grasped his companion's thinking it

After a while tho young Quakeress said
calmly:

1-hllndolplilii.
As much to Lo thankful for as l'lidr.
delphia has in all tlirccUonv, she is not
always apt to remember her surgeons.
It has boon sad of tho surgeons of
Philadelphia (hat limy rob di-cas. of
half of its (errors and the gravo of thn
other half. Of all thu orthodox doc
trines, they believe most consistently in
the te-urrcclion. Yet their retort at tho
L'nivors ty proves them the friends of
cremation. None but Pli lade'phia sur
geons could be so catholic in thoir post
mortem tastos.
With tho vear now closing the tri-
triumphs of surgery in the United States
have boon wonderful indeed. And each
of them is a triumph for Philadelphia.
ijot us recapitulate.
Il has boon but a short fine since Dr
Ilium Applejack, i f liucks county,
was called lo see a man on whom i
hou-e had falle.i. llu found the great
est ddlicullv in gett ng a satisfactory
view of tho patient, owing to the fact
that the house was still on him. Fin
ally he diagnosed tho poor man's caso.
and concluded that ho was .Milljring
from a lack of air, coiil'momcnt and
pressure of tho superincumbent mater
los. He instantly had a largo force of
men put to work, the house removed
and (lie patient at onco rcl eved. When
he came out, tho patient said ho had a
toothache the day before, ami hu
thought perhaps that had something to
do w th thu condition iu which tho doc
tor found him. The doctor directed the
workmen to pry out tho oH'onding tooth
w.th a jaok-scrow, anil the lxior man
went away dancing and returning
thanks.
Thu case of Henry Elcampnign ol
t. n.impaign, III., was quite as striking.
He was so lean that ho no longor cast,
a shadow. Dr. (iicasepalm gave him
an opiate, injected a pint of huttor-
m Ik into his lusopluigus every twenty
four hours for a month and. weighed
him triumphantly at. the end of that
period on a hay-scalo. Henry broke
the scales.
Amos Du'onburv of Conshnckcn had
his brains kicked out liy his sister's
put mule. After tho an mat's hoof had
neon c.uciuliy washed the water was
inlillratcd into Amos' oar, and hu was
boon as bright as ever.
Much uterest is exo ted In inodicnl
circles by tho successful issue of a ro
inarkable operation last week perform
cd by Dr. William Bunkerhlll of tho
Boston College of Surgeons. It is tho
second operation so performed by him
within the last few mouths, and it is
believed that thero aro no previous
instances ot success in such nn opora
lion in Europe or poslbl- in America,
On Tuesday of hist week a lady fell
firm the top of Iho Bunker II II monu
ment, a 1 stance ot 181) feet, to tho
ground. She was carr cd to St. Thomas
Hospital sufl'ering extreme agony. No
bones wore found Lo bu broken, but ou
Wednesday Dr. Biinkerhill, diagnos
ing the case, cam) to tho conclusion
that her vina'gretto had been ruptured.
The woman was put uud iramusthetics,
an incision made Into the pocket, and
the d stenosis verilieil. Tho contents
of the pocket were withdrawn, tho
vina grotto drawn out, tho suture
made and tested, (he pieces all replac
ed, the pocket thoroughly cleansed
with antiseptics and Iho incision closed.
The pat. cut emerged from her insensi
ble condil'on relievo I of pain, on Tues
day was iu a comfortable condition,
and is to-day declared practically out
of danger. 'J 'ho operation occupied
two nours. ritHid'Upiia acid.

When I wnsH-ventoen I heard
From each ceiifwlous tongue,
"I'd not do that If I were you,
You k-o you'ie rather Joun.,,

Tho Cliitrm of Wearing (Jcnis,
One of the charms of wearing a gem is

idea of their poleiict all this, and
more, lo many minds, has as much force

one of th genii, what cahahslically
commanded sprite, is shut up iu thu liry

corners, of thu pfgcou-hlooit tinge, in

There Is always a fticlualion in Rs
sparkle, both when w- wear a and see
another wear t. or when wo lift It from
its dark hidiiig-placo in the casket

with its lldlcss deathless glance of beau

York Man
A Boston !
came
over to New
York. She amused her-olf very w II
for several davs, among her other
pleasures including the beaut fill d.spl iy
of chr santhuunis at Cosmopolit in hall.
She was do!. ghted wilh it. The -plon-did
shocks of snowy and llanied-oolorod
blooms and the new .Japanese se dlinga
that look as if nature had copied thorn
from decoration- on Japane-o j irs, and
tho clean, fresh, our ous perfumes, (ill.
ed her cultured soul so full of smti.
incut thai it bu'ib'c l over for the bon -lit
of a New York man. He came to
call soon after her return from tlio
llower show. He was a charm ng
young por-on who never bv any ac i
ilent polluted his person with any ar
ticle whatsoever manufactured iu this
couiilry. Ho was turned out complete
from top to loo in English goods, anil
his ga t ou the avenue tilled beholders
w.th thu wildust awu and delight, it so
clo-oly cop ed the true thoroughbred
stride. Tho Important details of dross
had occupied his walking hours so
closely that, he had found but 1 ttlo time
to unbend his mind over a book, and
other matters even more important had
escaped his attention, among I hem tho
llower show, w hich ho happened not to
have heard of.
"I've just come from seeing tho
chrysanthemums," said the enthusiastic
young woman from Boston: "and, oh!
it was such a treat. I never enjoyed
any thing so much in my life. Have yon
been yet?"
"No," ho drawled out aloud, think
ing to himself. "What Iho douce is

ter rapid but profound reasoning lie
camu to tho conclusion that, being n
Boston woman and addicted to litera
ture, the thing she had been to was
something partak ng of an Intellectual
nature, and probably science judging
from thu long and unnronntiucoablo
name. So he remarked lightly that
really he "didn't go much into that
sort "of thing now it was out of his
line, too deep entirely for him.
Thu Boston g rl stared. "What do
you moan? Chrysanthuunis too deep?"
"Well, you know," said thu hupp
less youth, putting his foot deeper into
his mouth every limu lie opened it.
"that one has to" do such an awful lot
of reading to keep up with thuso seien
lilic things, and for my part 1 nuvor

the subject they're talking about." Ho
fell, ho was getting skillfully over a d.f
licult question, and continued, with
graceful solf-conlitlunco. to add a few
delicate and artistic touches to his po
sition. ' Wlion I go to this sort of thing." ho
declared. "1 got works on the subject
and read up thoroughly, so Unit I can
lollow thu speaker with intelligent In

now lo do that, and so I ctit the Nine

I'l'ciitii'lng Summer Supply of Wood.
All work which can as well be dono
now as somu months hence, should bo
dono before thu rush of spring work.
Preparing the summer supply of stovo
wood can butter bo done now, than hi
the spring or siiinnier. The pieces can
be sledded up now, which Is easier and
speedier lhan haili ng them in a wagon.
The temperature is more favorable to
chopping, wli eh is it job for cold weath
er and not for hot weather. And now
green wood can hu cut, and will bo sea
soned when wauled; whorcas. if the
supply is prepared only us needed, dry,
hard wood must bu cut, or ulso Iho
housewife ba subjected to the vexations
of burning given wood. Light, soft
wood, thoroughly seasoned, is tho best
summer utovc-wood. It makes a (pi ck,
hot lire and dies down quickly without
coals, allowing thu room lo cool rap. illy
nflor Iho meal is prepared, cave tho
donso. hard wood for winter. Whdo
elm and colton-nood aro tho best of all
for sunimur sfovo-wooiL and nro scarce
ly lit for anything else. Tho blocks of
hickory (usuallO, oal; etc., are the host
spit through the heart; hit cotton-
wood nnd white elm must bu "slabbed
oil"," working toward tho heart. Bo
cnreful to cut the wood of tho proper
length. To do so is us ea-sy as to have
half the sticks tco long, and thu other
half too short, and w.ll save thu house
wife much vexation. After thu wood is
prepared, put it under shelter. Only a
run man can allurd to bu without a
wood-house. Those with ready money
can build something tasteful, but a
structure that will answer oven- purpose
can bu built at a cost not exceed ng fif
