During 1919 the circulation of the
national banks was increased nearly
$20,000,000; $50, coo, 900 of gold was inn
ported, and $3i 100000 was diriyed from
the mines, n large portion of the whole
having been coined; while about $780,
100000 of silver or silver certificates
were put in active circulation. 1t was
supposed that these liberal additions to
the supply of money would result in a
heavy accumulation at the various finan-

year the increase within the same period

WINE AND BRANDY.


During the last vintage season, Thco
Reiser bought 4 large quantity of Berger
and Muscat grapes, which he weighed
carefully, with u view TO ascertainino
precisely the number of pounds OF
grapes itrcguired to make a gallon OF
wine. As Il result of his Investigations
he reports that il required fifteen pounds
OF the grapes mentioned 80 make gal
lon of clear wine-that is, wine that had
gone through the different stages of fer
mentation and evaporation, and emerged
clear, pure wine. 1t docs not follow, of
course, that 1t always requires the same
quantity of grapes to make u gallon of
wine; the condition of the grapes has a
great deal to Go with ii. T. a. Korn
has made a gallon of clear wine from
twelve pounds OF Berger grapes. a.
14angenberser estimates that one ton of
Mission grapes viii make 100 gallons of
Wine Estimating three tons OF grapes TO
the acre (tilc yield is sometimes much
more and sometimes less, bur Mr.. Drey
fus gives it as his Judgment that three
tons Is fair ayerage), the result would
be $50 gallons of clear wine, worth TWEEN
ty cents per gallon, giving 10 the vine
yardiSt gross return of $50 per acre.
Some of them do better than that. Mr..
Rimpau has gathered five tons of grapes
to the acre, which would bring the in
come up to $50 per acre. 1t takes from
four and Il half to five gallons OF wine TO
make one Of brandy. If an acre of vines
yields $50 gallons of wine "a low esti-
matte, that would equal ninety gallons
of brandy, allowing FIVE gallons to be
used in making one of brandy. This
brandy, if kept three years. viii bring
three dollars per gallon at the least. De-
ductlng the duty fnineiy cents per gal
lon), the result Is TfS9 worth Of brandy
from an acre of grapes These figures
will give an idea OF the profit atteRding
tkc culture Of the vine for wine making,
and viii explain why SO many people
have set oct vineyards in this country
this season.

wearing a long ulster, and carrying d

life to lower himself 70 talk to his COM

loosely by his side, and to spread out his

for the giant business; but now he has
got TO hold his head mp and keep his
feet together and throw his shoulders
back, to keep himself IN shape, to take
flesh, and get more height"
Shields is lean but not angular, with
such long legs that he seems like Il boy

A Wonderful ATcsmerizer.

Strange stories come from In3ia OF
the feats performed by a native mes
merizor named Buni, whose magnetic
power would appear TO be found quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which lac exclusively exerts it. He
gives scances, to which the public are
invited to bring all manner of feroci0us
and untamable wild beasts, and holds
them with his glittering eye. In few
seconds they subside into condition.
OF cataleptic stiffness from which they
can only b G revived by certain passes
which he solemnly executes with his
right hand. A snake in state Of vio-
lent irritation was brought to Buni by
a menagerie proprietor, inclOsed in
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and Kissing
fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and
fixed his eyes upon It's occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's
restless head. In less than a minute the
snake stretched itself out, stifened and
lay apparently dead. Buni took it up
and thrust several needles into its
body, bat it gave no sign of life. A few
passes then restored it to its former
angry activity. Subsequently savage
dog, held in leash by its owner, was
brought in, and, at Buni's command,
let loose upon him. AS it was rushing
towards him, bristllng with fury, he
raised his hand, and in second the
fierce brute dropped upon it's belly as
though stricken by lightning. 1t SEEM
ed absolutely paralyzed by some un-
known agency, was unable. to move
muscle until released from the mesmer-
izer's spell by majestic wave of his
hand.

Relation Of the Lirer to the General Sys-
tem-Professor LeCOpte expresses his
believe that the waste tissue is carried
by the blood TO the liver, and is there
separated into liver-sugar and urea, or
some substance which rapidly changes
into urea. Experiments made by Schitf
support this theory by proving that
venons blood is soon fatal to animals
if the liver is tied but is not so if the liver
is free to act, the poisoning being due
to dec0mposed tissues in the blood.
Combustion take place in the capilla-
ries Of the tissues under the influence
of venous force. as the blood remains
for longer time in the capillaries of
the tissue than in any other organ.
The blood acts rs reservoir not only
of oxygen but of food, and, if waste,
the food taken in to-day is not used to
build up tissue to-day, but is taken
into circulation In the blood and the
blood forms tissue and regenerates itelf
from the supply of food-so tissue
wasted to- day Is carried by the Flood TO
the liver, there decomposed into sugar
and urea. and SO eIimina ell perhaps
the day after, or even longer.
