Grape Culture and Wine Making I'm
California.
New York Sun.


The extent Of wine making in California as
tonishes visitors from the east At the vine
yards of San Gabriel, the largest in the state,
100000 gallons of wine and 100000 of brandy
will be made from this years crop of grapes.
The unskilled labor employed is usually Chi
nese, but the experts are mostly from the wine
districts Of France and Germany, though
Americans learn the process readily. The
grapes are stemmed and squeezed by machin-
cry. The juice runs into watts, where it fer
ments sufficiently, and is pumped into butts in
the cellars. There it stands until clarified by
whites of eggs, isinglass, or gelatine, Ter
which it is filtered through charcoal, AK
drawn off into casks for shipment As to the
profits of grape culture, it is calculated that
the vines will bear in the third year after
the cuttings are set out, give a profit in the
fourth, and in the fifth yield enough tip pay all
expenses including the cost of the land. There
are seven wine-producing districts in Cali
fornia, and the total vintage this year is H.
100000 gallons. Some of this will be distilled
for brandy and some drunk at home, but the
bulk will be sent eastward, to be sold under
foreign labels.

Paris from AN American Point Of
View.
Henry James, Jr'A, clever study in The
Century, of American manners and institu-
tons from "The Point Of View" of travelled
Americans and travelled Europeans, contains
by way of contrast the following criticism Of
Partisan life by an American:
1t was in Paris, however, that l got your
letter; remember the moment as well as if it
were Ito my honor much more recent You
must know that, among many places dislike.
Paris carries the palm. / am bored to death
there; it's the homo Of every humbug. The
life is full of that false comfort which is worse
than discomfort, and the small, fat irritable

these reflections even more devoutly than
usual one very tiresome evening toward the
beginning of last summer, when, as I re-en-
tered my hotel at 10 o'clock, the little rep

of my bad moments; have great many in
Europe. The conventional perfunctory play,
all in falsetto, which l seemed to have seen
thousand times; the horrible faces of the
people; the pushing, bullying ouvreuse, with
her false politeness and her real rapaeity,
drove me out of the place at the end Of
an hour; and, as it was too early to
go home, I sat down before q cafe
on the boulevard, where they served me glass
of sour, watery beer. There on the boulevard
in the summer night, life itself was even
uglier than the play, and it wouldn't do for
me to tell you what saw. Besides, was sick
of the boulevard, with its eternal grimace and
the deadly sameness of the article de Paris,
which pretends to be so various-the shop
windows a wilderness of rubbish and the
passers-by procession Of manikins Sud-
deuly it came over me that was supposed to
be amusing myself-my face was yard long
aud that you probably at that moment were
saying to your husband: &He stays away SO

The Old and the New Bible.

New York Sun.
At reception given the other day to the
American committee which had a nominal
part in the revision of the bible, the Rev. DR..
schaff predicted great and growing favor for
the revision"
Yet year and half has elapsed since the
publication of the revised new testament, and
it has made scarcely any Roadway against the
old version. The new testament used, read
and quoted by English speaking people is still
the one given us by King Jamess translatOrs
Immediately after its publication the lately re-
vised version commanded an enormous sale as
a novelty, but soon the demand for it became
insignificant, and already it has almost passed
out of the public thought
The truth is, the old version of the bible Is
an immovable part of our literature-is inter
woven with it. It is not regarded or esteemed
as a translation merely but is cherished as
one of the pillars of English literature The
proved inaccuracy of some of Its renderings
does not shake it, so deep are its foundations.
1t is great English book, and as such would
stand forever, even if skepticism could sue
coed in breaking down the religious faith Of
which it is the support

The sale Of Malmaison to land company
for $4,000, or less than one-third Of what the
late Emperor Napoleon gave Queen Christina
of Spain for it will remove another landmark
in the history of the Bonapartes. Originallya
hospital, Malmaison was the dowry house Of
Josephine de Beauharnais, and it was there
that she died, thus being fulfilled, according to
Lord Holland, a prophecy made to her by
gypsy before she made the acquaintance of
Napoleon, that @she would be more than a
queen and would die In hospital" After the
death of Josephine Malmaison became in
turn the property of Swedish banker, and
of the ex-Queen Christina of Spain, while of

One Cause OF salvation

A medical writer points out the danger of
using salt or salty food while taking calomel.
He says the common s2lt or chloride of 80
dunn combines with the mercury and forms
the bi-chloride of mercury, deadly poison
Therefore, he adds, when you take calomel
avoid salt or salty food as you would the most
deadly poison When sick people eat salty
food they are apt to drink water freely, and If
salivated they lay the blame on the water.
The only wonder about it is that so many
escape with life. And for the reason that all
who take salt and calomel in the stomach to
men are doubtful as to the foregoing theory"

ANOTHER WORD VITA ouR FARMERS.

Our word with the farmers of Sedgwicl
county last week was more particularly ret
respective. The bright side of the past wa,
held up in all sincerity and truth. IL any one
OF them thought the picture was an untrutb.
full one or lacked fidelity they have not said
so TO us. We propose now few prospective
words. Those who do not feel inclined 10
accept them in the spirit in which they are
given can at least make note of them for
future yerifcation, because we write wholly
in the interest of the men who have been
with us through the shadows as well AZ the
sunshine OF the past decade. aud whose iu-
ture interests in more than one sense are
identical with our own.
The wild lands of Sedgwick county have
in ten years advanced slowly and gradually
in price from 81 - acre TO from 81 to SIS.
according TO location, and cultivated and inn
proved lands from 50 and 81 to Si5 and S25
an acre, depending on iinpro, ements and 10
cation. The increase of prices have been in
the face Of plenty of cheap Lands elsewhere
and the improvements for the most part have
been made with money borrowed at an aw-
ful rate and under the suspense of cui-throat
mortgages. But for all that the advance in
price has been steady and in the main salts
factory. Now for the word aud prediction
which interests every farmer in Sedgwick
county: Within or before the expiration of
the next ten years unmproved lands in Sedg-
wick county will be worth from $50 TO $40
per acre and improved lands or farms from
$50 to $50 an acre.
The premises furnishing the reasons for
such conclusion are too numerous to 90 in
10 at this time, but few of them ought to
be evident 10 every observing farmer. our
only reason for writing this prediction at this
time being desire to benefit our old sub
scribers who might be tempted by the grow
ing demand for lands and advancing prices
to sell for few hundred dollars a home
which in ten years time would bring as man.

sending man back TO Topeka on a stretcher,
they put their nine in training and sent our
boys challenge. The result was minated
by this paper last week. oar boys went up
and, although only to the bat eight times to
their niue times. they did just what they un-
dertook 10 do. The Empora papers say the
