An IntarestinR Occasion.

A widow lady, belonging to class in one OF the
Methodist churches in this city, was taken sick,
and 1t coming to the knowledge of the class that
she was in destitute circumstances, the leader
suggested that they meet and contribute for her
relief whatever they might feel disposed to give.
The meeting took place, and each member brought
something. There was q wheelbarroH load Of
provisions, and, besides, each person-about
twenty in all-carried one or more bundles. Thus
equipped, the party started for the place Of des-
tination. After depositing the timely presents,
prayer was offered, a hymn sung, and placing
in the hands Of the widow q sum Of money, the
company took Its departure, happy in the thought
that they had been able to relieve the immediate
wants Of a worthy person. Is this is not an ex-
ample worthy Of Imitation?

nranaa and Wina-Nn- q.

Dr.. Charles F. Jackson, the distinguished
chemist, has given extensive, attention 70 ana
lying grapes, with o view TO testing their quail
ties for making wines. Those grapes which con-
tain large proportion Of saccharine matter, or
sugar, compared to their acid, are the hest for
making wine. II they contain less than 10 per
cent. Of ssecharine matter they will not make
good wines that will keep without adding more
or less good sugar. None but the best quality Of
sugar, such as good loaf, should be used, but
grape sugar is to be preferred where It can be OBJ
tanned. 1t Is now being largely manufactured In
France and Germany, and It is found that It can
be produced at about 40 per cent cheaper than
white loaf sugar. The proportion Of sugar IN
grapes is increased BY proper and careful cultva-
ton; that IS the quantity Of tsrtario acid is less
ened In the grapes, though the saecharine Is not
increased. In bis many experiments with many
varetieE, DR.. Jackson used only the pure Juice Of
the grape, fermented, without adding any water
whatever.
From about 400 varieties which he tested copy

From what We have seen in travelling about the

as good results can be achieved in the Potomac

have been accomplished in Missouri with the
same skill and thoroughness; the natural facil-
tiles and conditions are as favorable, and It's real
