TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING VINE TILL II
RIPENS.

There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Ondcrhill. the well-known
grapc-grower of Croton Point, died in 1917.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to-
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is n wine of the vintage
OF 1864, described as a Sweet Union Port
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity. age and mellowness ara
fancers have % special @ Interest in 'i1a It as S the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the wcl-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N. Y. 7t1daxs.

The fact that nearly $4,000. 900
trade dollars have been coined whose
specie value IL some ten cents less than
. dollar. has led large number to &C
cept tho idea that the passage of a law
making these dollars legal tender
would recall them from China and
swell the currency by an increase of
some 81. 900, 900 of silver dollars. The
recent quotation of trade dollars at
Hong Kong At 924 cents has given fur
Their support to this theory. but We
learn from . well-informed source in
New York that the number of trade
dollars that can be recalled from Hong
Kong is really very small. 1t is the
practice Of the Chinese bankers, on re-
ceiving any foreign coin and ascertain
ing it, value, to put their mark or
chop on it. A coin 50 defaced would
NOT, under our coinage laws, be receiv-
able except as bullion. A recent dis
patch from Hong Kong says that there
arc only zoe. 900 unchopped trade dol
lam in that city. and the opinion is ex-
pressed BY those best able to Judge that
out Of the $4,000, 900 to 30, 600. 900
Of them exported to China in the last
Eve years, MI but 1. O00. 900 or 2,O0O,-

rH Us. sHNAToRsHIP.

THE u. q. 0BNAT0RSHIP.
The Kansas City AdI of . recent
date has . very interesting chapter on
The q. s. Senatorhip. According 10
this authority. the same old ringsters
who have % often sold out Vest be-
fore arc running him now only to sell
him out again. In 1876 they were
under tho necessity ofsecuringa State
administration that would accept the
retiring Treasurer Mercer's checks and
leave the State deposits in the ring
banks, which had the States money
loaned out and could not produce it on
demand. Then they brought out
Vest for Governor and took him into
the Democratic State convention with
strength to be sold out advantageously
BY them-strength enough to enable
them to bring Phelps to terms and
form . successful combination with
him on Governor. Treasurer and At
torney-G General. This was the COM
bination that laid Vest on the shelf
that time.
Just now it it evident tina: these
ringsters are again deceiving and using
Vest with no thought of putting him
in tho United States Senate. They
have q more profitable use for him
than that. They are using him as a
bung-starter to open q certain "barT'
upon which their eyes have long been
fixed. The proprietor cf that ''bar'l"
is the Hon. Thos. Allen, the
wealthy and aspiring president of the
Iron Mountain railway. His estate is
understood to be of the value of about
IS. 600. 900, and besides any natural
craving he may have for the dignity
and power Of . Senatorship.it is known
that he has magnificent railway pro-
jects BY which he hopes to extend the
Iron Mountain road through the city
Of Mexico to the Pacific. and thus
annex to St. Louis q new commercial
empi , rs fruitful as ever India has
been to London. That q hundred
thousand dollars or 90 should be al
lowed to stand between such q man
and . seat in the United States Senate
has long been regarded by the
Hutchins combination as . very alb |
surd proposition, and they have long
studied and labored to get the aforsaid
Senatorship into q situation where
they could have the power to sell it
to Nh. Allen on the most advantage.
Gus terms.
If this work should result. in a eau
Gus majority for Vest too strong to be
bamboozled aud sold out, the mana
gers of the combination will find that
they have overreached themselves and
defeated their own aims. They will
take precautions to prevent any such
result. 1t would elect Vest, and they
would have to let Mr.. Allen wait with
that ''barI" unbroached till they
could sell him Cockrells seat. Their
plan d to sell him the seat that is now
vacant for cash on delivery, and put
Vest and his FRIENDS of with the
promise of Cockrells seat when that
becomes vacant. Their inside boast
Il that If tho combination is strong
enough to elect either Vest or Allen
now it will be strong enough to put the
other in Cockrells place when the
time comes.

Summer IN Sweden.

The Swedish summer is short. and
the year has hardly any spring or
autumn, but the summer days are
very long. and the sun after setting,
sinks only q few degrees under the
horizon. filling the whole space during
the night with a mystical luminous
ness which makes even . pig stye TO
mantle. At midnight you can walk
in the garden and read . letter from
your mother, and how singular the
letter is! Every word in it has . new
meaning. and 90 has every object
around you. The street, the house.
the old church. the river. the hills, al
look Is If you had never before under
stood their true meaning. The houses
do not press the ground With their
weight they loat in the air like
pictures. The river does not push its
waves forth through . melancholy
fall from one pebble to another. it
only turns its hands rapidly. but
gently. to catch the image Of the stars.
The trees do not suck and heave and
Toll for . bit of existence, no they
breathe. they live: they whisper about
paradise.
