Hunting for game was practiced with
bow and arrow only, until in the six
teenth century the Spaniards contrived
the arquebus or matchbox. Here the
match was fitted to a serpentin or
cock, hung upon pivot, and brought
into contact with the printing by work,
ing substantially the same as that of the
modern hammer and trigger. This was
further improved by the German inveR-
ton of steel wheel with serrated edge,
fitted to spring, and made to revolve,
rapidly, the edge coming in contact with
piece of pyrites, and, by this friction,
producing the sparks to ignite the prim-
ing. The use of the wheel-lock for
sporting purposes was very general In
the middle of the sixteenth century. and
for long time it was not improved
upon.
, But necessity is the mother of inven-
ton. A band of Dutch chie6en-stealers
or of Spanish marauders-it is dis
puted which-being too poor to provide,

lock, and afraid to use the matchbox.

Drugged Wines.

AS France has kicked up row about
American hog meat, which extended
even to ringing bells through the villages
warning the citizens, it is entirely fair to
warn the American people against the
drugged wines of France. The Partisan,
a paper printed in English in Paris,
gives q branch of the history of this
Manufacture of wines sold fraudulently
under the names Of the choicest brands
of French wines: The wine crop of 1879
was about 25, 1000, 600 or 100000 hec-
tollters below the average Of the last ten
years. TlPe annual consumption in
France is from 40, 100000 to As, 100000
hectohters.H Every body expected arise
III the price of wine, and some conscien-
tious, dealers laid in a stock from abroad.
The rise in price, however, never came,
and the markets remained well supplied.
The reason was that the natural deficit
was compensated for by artificial means.
Wine was manufactured out Of dry
grapes. AL the raisins to be found In
Eastern ports we're bought up, and wine
manufactures sprang up all over the
country. Around Paris alone there are
seven steam power wine manufactures
The cost of q cask of Faisin wine is about
so francs, and it was, sold at 100 francs,
thus giving profit of 100 per cent. But
the competition has now become such
that the price of raisins has risens from
twelve francs to seventy-five francs the
100 kilograms. The consequence is that
that raisins have been abandoned, and
wine is now manufactured out of glu-
lcose, a sugary matter obtained from the
potato, out of the residue of molasses,
out of rotten apples, dried prunes, dates,
figs and all kinds of refuse fruit, and
even out Of beet-root These abomina-
bic liquids are colored artifcially and
mixed more or less with Spanish wines
or white wine. The adlllteration and
manufacture of wine has attained such
vast proportions that the principal deal
ers who had taken measures to supply
the market Loyalty with harvest wine
from foreign countries have taken steps
to put a stop to this gigantic fraud. The
imposture has reached such a pitch that
not one-third Of the wine now drank in
Paris is real grape. The revelations of
the manufacture Of French brandy. are
no less convincing of the wholesale char
acter of the frauds. French brandy of
this day is described as an inferior spirit
distilled from sugar, potatoes, Indian
corn and whisky distilled from barley,
and this is the stuff imposed upon the
people of this country. 1t would be
national blessing if there was an author
itative analysis made of the various So
called French wines and brandies fraud
ulently pushed off upon the American
people by the wine manufacturers of
France. The drugged and poisonous
sstuffis, in addition to being a commercial
fraud, also most deleterous to health
an life, and its importation should be
discontinued. No pure wines or bran
dies are now exported from France.
