NO., A
Dry WINE.

A mild curiosity might be excited,
possibly, over the question as to the
how many occasional, or even habit
ual, wine drinkers know the meaning
Of the word "dry" as applied to wines.
AS rule, it would seem to be much
more justly applicable to a man him
self than anything in the bottle or
glass before him.
It is strictly trade term but it
has sufficiently distinct and definite
meaning. 'a
When a wine has been permitted to
continue the process of its fermenta
ton until it has converted all Of its
natural sugar into spirit, and has
properly developed all Of its natural
acid, it becomes; technically, a ''dry
wine.'
When, however. wine has been
at all sweetened, or has had its nat
ural fermentation arrested by the ad-
dition of spirit, it is not dry wine
AS applied to champagne Of any
brand, whatever, the term ''dry" is a
practical ''misnomer," for there are.
no champagne wines in existence to
which more or less rock candy has
not been added in the making.
The only difference, for instance,
between dry" and "extra dry' cham
pagne IS in the amount Of 'liqueur'
which has been added to the grape
juice.
For the finest brands, the French
make ''liqueur" Of brandy and rock
candy, and in most cases they add a
delicate faToring extract. I
These things may indeed promote
'dryness' in the drinker, but they do
uot increase the amount ofssnatural
acid in the. wine itseADewey's

FOOL FRiEkDS.

Nothing hurts man, nothing
hurts a party so terribly as fool
friends.
A fool friend is the sewer Of bad
news, of slander and all base and un-
pleasant things. le
A fool friend always knows every
mean thing that has been said against
you and the party.
He always knows where your party
is losing, and the other is making
large gains.
He always tells you of the good luck
your enemy has had.
He implicitly believes every story
against you, and kindly suspects your
defense.
A fool friend is always full of
kind of stupid candof.
He is so candid that he always be-
lieves the statements Of any enemy.
He never suspects anything on your
side.
Nothing pleases him like being
shocked by horrible news concerning
some good man.
He never denies lie unless it is in
your. favor.
He is always finding fault with his
party, and is continually begging
pardon for not belonging to the
other side.
He is frightfully anxious that all
his candidates shonld stand we'll with
the opposition.
He is forever seeing the faults Of
his party and the virtues Of the other.
He generally shows his eandor by
scratching his ticket.
He always searches every nook and
corner Of his conscience to find rea-
son for deserting a friend or prin-
ciple
In the moment of victory he is
magnanimously on your side. In
defeat he consoles you by repeating
prophesies made after the event.
The fool friend regards your repu-
tatiQp as common property, and as
common prey for all the vultures,
hyenas and jackals.
He takes a sad pleasure in your
misfortunes.
He forgets his principles to crafty
your enemies.
He forgives your maligner and
slanderer with all his heart.
He is so friendly that you cannot
kick him.
He generally talks for You, but al
ways bets the other way.-(Col. In
gersoll III the National Illust1 ated
Weekly.

the second Maine district is total
abstinence man, and staunch ad-
vocate of prohibition. He defends
the present Maine law, and in re-
cent speech insisted that it had
greatly reduced the number of Grim
inals in Maine. Yet the prohi-
bitionists of his district have nOmi-
mated a candidate against him,
though they know very we'll that
such candidacy, if it has any effect
at all, must improve the chances
of the Democratic free whiskey
