Natural Champagne.

The process Of producing natural cham
pagne, that IS to say, champagne into which
Carbonc acid gas has been infused by an
artificial process, in Cali 'ornin, is precisely
the same as that followed by all wcll-regu-
lated houses in the champagne district in
France. The choicest varieties OF vines
arc imported directly from the champagne
district in France, and planted in California,
soil, and by this means the French grape
Is grown in that state, and good foundn-
tion laid for the reproduction Of French
wine. One firm in California, during the
last year, produced more than twelve
thousand cases Of champagne by this
French process, and the VINE is considered
by many persons to compare favorably
with the imported article. The true dis
tinction TO be made between champAgncs Is
that which classitics them as the natural
and the artificial wine. 1t requires at least
two years to produce the natural cham
pagne, because nature Is the agent which
clarifies and perfects 1t; while the artificial
or gas wine can be manufactured in an
many days. Of this article there arc two
kinds, that which consists OF of real wine,
charged with caybonic acid gas, and That
which consists of some other fluid, similarly
charged. This fluid is mixture Of water,
fruit essences, alum and various other in.
gradients. 1t Is impossible to estimate the
injury which this spurious article has done
10 the legitimate trade, for people become
disguated with all champagne after drink
Ing tho supurious wine.

About Dogs.

few persons nrc aware OF the value, var
rlcty and weight Of dogs, varying as they
do from l8O pounds TO less than one pound.
We often hear them valued at from
$500 to less than nothing. Il description
OF different kinds Of dogs may be interest
ing. The Siberian blood hound weighs
about lG0 pounds, measures forty inches
IN girt, and is worth nearly 5000 The st.
Bernard dog, which is a b;,ff or light lead
COLOR is very large and valuable The New
foundland dog, whcnpurc, is entirely black,
and lis pups arc worth from ten TO twenty
dollars. The shepherd dog, or Scotch
cody, Is wonderful for it's patience, fidelity
and bravery. 1t liz worth from fifty to 500
The English mastiH, a good watch dog, is
worth from fifteen to twenty dollars.
or terriers, the black -and-tan Is most adj
ml'cd. They variy in weight from one pound
to twenty-five pounds, and increase in
value rs IL decreases in weight.
Terriers are of ten crossed with the
Italian greyhound, producing very deli
cate but extremely useless dog. The Scotch
terrier Is the hardest dogs, is very coura-
gcous, and is worth from ten to thirty
dollars. Scotch decr-hounds are the rarcst
and most valuable Of hunting dogs. They
are owned principally by the nobility Of
England, and are worth 800 each.
The beagle is the smallest of the hound
kind, has superior scent and endurance,
and, IN short, is the best sort of rabbit
hunter. English greyhounds, the flcctcst
Of doga, are worth from twenty-five to
800 each. The Italian greyhound is mere.
ly parlor dog. The pure breed is rare
and valuable, fine one being worth $3.50.
There is a great variety of pointers, settlers
and ,spanicls. The Prince Charles variety
Is The most valuable of spanlels. He Is
supposed to have originated in Japan,
where similar breed exists. He has a
large, full eye, black -and-tan color, and
never weighs over ten pounds. They have
been sold at auction IN England at 1900
each. The coach dog Is from Denmark,
and not of much value.

II is a delight, to others 1t is poison. The
general trouble, in a digestive point of
view, arises from the fact that the cucuul-
bcr Is not generally cut thin enough. Some
delicate organisms cannot wrestle with

when 1t Is absorbed in chunks The art
is, then, purely mechanical one as to
cucumbcrs. They should be cut in slice
so thin as to be diaphonous. There are
many people who believe that if there I've
anything injurious in the cucumber it exists
IN the juices. Therefore, certain prccau-
tions arc taken of cutting the cucumbers a
long time before they are used, and by
means Of weight. expressing their juices.
This is nonsense of the, most absurd charac-
ter. II oven tends to make the cucumber
more unwholcsome taking away the nat
ural fluids which aid In the digestion, and
leaving behind the pithy substances. Get
your cucumber cool, slice 1t very thin, and
eat 1t ut once, Is the law. Endivc and

Holsters, chickens, herrings &C., which

which make excellent salads. Asparagus

best way of eating this vegetable. String

The Abuse Of Pain.
loved then,

The little nerve of feeling which runs
through all parts of tho human body car
ry to the brain intelligence of disaster and
of pleasure. The evil messages they bring
arc called pains. a pain admonishcs us
that some Injury Is done to part of the
body--a finger jammcd, toe cut, an arm
Durncd-or that somo part is overworked
or Wearicd and must have rest. The
nerves but do their duty, when they report
faithfully these things, and our duty Is 10
repair tho mischief which caused the nerves
To report In the way of pain. But many
persons are annoyed by these evil messages,
and only seek to silence the MESSENGER.
The immediate call is for something to
'still the pain" Fortunately the means
employed arc sometimes SUCH as correct the
evil at once, and so put an end to the
trouble reported by the nerves. Especially
Is this the case when cool water is applied
to cuts and burns-the rolief and the cure
begin and 90 on simultaneously. The same
result Is usually attained when hot water
applications (or fomentations) are made
to bruises and sharp pains of various kinds.
Pain, which results from ovcrdolng of any
Kind, is most reasonably 'stillcd' by rest
general rest of the whole body, and
especial rest of the overworked part. ANY
thing that tends cqualize the circulation of
the blood, or to make all parts Of the body
comfortably warm, and no warmer, helps
to set the nerves at rest, or to stop pain
and disease. Not long ago VIC saw a man
who was suffcripg with violent headache
Ga neuralglc general ioothache) furiously
kicking. first with one foot, and then with
the other, working to get the blood from
his head to his heels, because he had found
that the most etfectual way to cure his
headache.
