SEA WOND ERS.

A long way from here, in the South Sea-
rises narrow ridge out of the fathomless
ocean. Cocoanut trees grow on the ridge,
and little lizards creep here and there. Far
and wide no coast nor land. Who can tell
who built that ridge, and planted those
trees In the boundless oceanp All, It Is a
strange story, as there are so many in Ma
ture's book, Hundreds of years ago little
tiny, industrious insects called corals lived
there. They had many whims and fancies.
They did not like to build in the midst Of
the surge, and they died when exposed. to
sun and air. After they had built some
time they stopped, for they reached the
surface of the water, and were afraid
of sun and air. Then came an earth
quake, of which there are so many
in the South Sea- and the ground ssnk by
degrees, and the corals commenced build
ing again, and went on and on till volcano
convulsed the bottom of the sea, and the
reef was raised over the surface of the
water, and the tiny coral insects died.
The waves broke off bits of the reef,
and the constant friction ground them
into dust and sand A wave carried
stray seed, and it took root in the sand and
grew. Years passed, and one day large
wave washed an old trunk Of tree on
the reef. When 1t had lain there q
few days two little lizards orept out Of
it. They had travelled more than q
thousand mi1es, and had a very long sleep.
They made their homo in the roots Of
the cocoanut trees that had grown, mean.
while. out Of the seed. Soon there were
plenty of cocoanut trees and lizards on the
reef; and this is the story Of tho trees and
the little lizards.

THE FIRST CHAMPAGNE.

1t happened that about the year 1868 th.
Office of eellarer was conferred upon a
worthy monk named Perignon. Poets and
roasters, we know, are born, and not
made; and this precursor Of the Meets and
Ciquots, the Heidsiecks and the Mumms
Of our days, seems to have been heaven
born cellarman, with strong head and q
discriminating palate. The wine extracted
from the neighboring crltivators was of all
qualities-good, bad,s and Indifferent and
with the spirit of true Benedictine, Dom
Perignon hit upon the..idea Of marrying"
the produce Of one vineyard with that of
another. He had noted that one kind Of soil
impaired fragrance and another generosity,
and discovered that white wine could be
made from the blackest grapes, which
would keep good, instead Of turning yellow
and degenerating like the wine obtained
from white ones. Moreover, the happy
thought occurred to him that a piece of
cork was much more suitable stopper for
bottle than the fax dipped IN oil, which
had heretofore served that purpose. The
white, or, as 1t was sometimes styled, the
gray wine or Champagne, grew famous,
and the manufacture spread throughout the
province, but that of Hautvillers held the
predominance. The cellarer, ever busy
among his vats and presses, barrels and
bottles, aligned upon discovery destined
to be far more important in its results. He
found out the way Of making an etforves-
cent wine-a wine that burst out of the
bottle and overaowed the glass, that was
twice as dainty to the taste, and twioe as
exhilarating in It's effects. It was at the
close OF the seventeenth century that this
discovery was made-when the glory Of the
Roi Soleil was on the wane, and with it the
splendor of the Court of Versailles. The
king, for whose especial benefit liqueurs
had been invented, found gleam of his
youthful energy as he slipped tho creamy,
foaming vintage that enlivened his dreary
tets-a-tete with the widow Of Scaron. 1t
found ITS chief patrons, however, among
the bands Of gay young roysterera, the
futurt roues Of the Regency, whom the Duo
D'Orleans and the Due De vendoms had |
gathered round them at the Palais Royal /
and at Anst It was at one Of the famous
soupers dAnet that the Marquis de Sillsry-
who had turned his pruning-knife, and |
applied himself to the cultivation of his /
paternal vineyard on the principles incul-
Gated by the cellarer of st. Peter's-frst !
introduced the wine bearing his name.
The fower-wreathed bottles, which, at a
given signal, dozen of blooming young
lamsels, scantily draped In the guise of
Bachantes, placed upon the table, were
hailed with rapture, and thenceforth spark
ing wine was an indispensable adjunct at
Ill the petits soupers of the period. In the
highest circles the popping of champagne
,orks seemed to ring the knell of sadness
md the victories of Marlborough were in
great measure compensated for by this
grand discovery.

BOtD ROBBERY LAST NIGHT.
A Surprise Party that was Sur.
prised and StiIl Happy.

RHAae0 anu oAlll
The young people belonging to the
Edgewood Reading and Literary Club,
most Of whom live on or near the Poplar
street boulevard, about three miles east
of the city, made extensive preparations
to give a surprise party last night to Mr..
5. A. Fleece and wife, a newly married
couple just returned from a bridal tour to
St. Louis. Mr.. Alfred Carter, ayoung man
who runs a milk wagon, was deputed to
obtain some articles necessary for the
occasion; also to call fer certain bundles
required and ordered by some young
ladies in the neighborhood. On his way
home last evening about u o'clock he
stopped at the residence Of Mr.. 10 Sykes,
jest out of the city, to deliver some
message. He stepped into the house
and chatted with the family a
few minutes-not more than FIVE, he
thinks, and on his return to the gate
found that his wagon had been complete
ly guLted of everything valuable. Among
other articles missing we're a coral set, a
shawl and two party dresses belonging to
the Misses Wood, ten pounds Of candies,
ten dozen oranges and various other ar
ticles of more or or less value and Of no
uncertain Importance for the occasion
jest at hand. The money drawer was
also robbed Of whatever change it con-
tained-some two or three dollars per-
haps. It was done so quickly and thor
oughly that Mr.. Carter naturally thinks
it was a well-lsid plan by persons who
knew his movements Whatever suspi-
clons may be entertained will be com.
municated to the chief of police, and it
is not unlikely that the thief or thieves
will be ferreted out and brought to jus.
tice. As to the surprise party, it was
taken aback at first, but 1901 recovered
itself, aud the sentiment of the evening
was on with the dance" and on it went,
and was a very happy affair, continuing
until the wee sms' hours ayant the
twal."

The mud on the streets is gradually
drying up. This is fortunate, as no effort
is making at present to keep tie streets
clear of mud. One thing should be done
regularly, however-some effort should
be made by the city to have the different
crossings scraped and swept for the use
of pedestrians.
The jurors who have been locked M
in the Drury-Gibson homicide case in the
Criminal Court for many days reported
late yesterday afternoon hat they stood
