FRENCH GR4PES.


Beer is here sold by the "bock." A
book is small glassful, costs 6 cents,
and is rather thin beer at that. Howev-
er, it's as strong as the French head can
stand. The wine at the common wine-
shops at 8 or SOUS per glass can, as to
flavor, be only equaled by the stuff sold
at some New York Bowery saloons, where
all "plain drinks" are advertised at 6
cents. think they can in France make
wine out of anything, providing there is
water enough on hand to fill up and log
wood to color. A California grape-grow-
er, on seeing the grapes raised about
Paris, and grapes of which wine is made,
would be amazed. I say it advisedly.
The frost and other wild grapes found in
the New England woods are quite as
good as those raised in this part of sun
ny France. Farther south, of course,
they are better. Paris does not enjoy
the climate fit to bring the grape to its
full perfection. It's nasty climate,
anyway. It's not very cold, nor is it
boiling hot, as in New York. The sum-
mer is delightful, but the rawness of
March sometimes extends away into
May, and the rawness of November
sometimes commences as early as Sep
TENDER, without the least taste of the
American Indian summer to temper it.
Then the leaves of autumn fall in France.
They do not, as in America, 60 out in
blaze OF glory. They wither, rot and
die. Gould the French behold the SPLEEN
dor of one of our frost-tinted autumns,
they would give all that glory to La
Belle France, and insist that it was
fashion devised in and sent from their
own fair land.-Prentioe Mulford, in
San Francisco Chronicle.

What the ordinary individual usually
| characterizes with very brutal but ex-
pressive word, the perfect. cook in her
| testing cheerful manner terms the
"market penny" The theory of this
market penny should be explained: A
bundle of asparagus which can be bought
at 20 cents is charged to the mistress at
| 25, the five cents is the private dot of the
inventive purchaser. "Now Mrs. Cook"
one may hear the huckster women call
ing to the basket-laden servant girls,
''wont you buy something from me?
Here is q chicken. I'll let you have it for
IS cents and you can charge it to your
master at IS" Huckster women and
cooks have knowingly endeavored to es-
| ta5Iish this scientific theory of the market

swer the ethiker who contends against

no power on earth can shake her cenvic-

We have already noticed that the cooks
cousin or brother plays an extensive role;
but usually as attribute of the modest be-
ginner. Has the cook attained full
consciousness of her worth, then with
the openness of distinguished trust she
acquaints her employers with the fact
that she has been long happily engaged;
"the man wishes to marry her; is cab
met maker or foreman in some large fac
tory; draws weekly an inconceivably large
pay, and thinks by Easter of the coming
year to be for himself" With this true
hearted confession, every ground of op-
position to ''him' is cut away in the be-
ginning. The mistress must allow the
cook sometimes in the evening to stand
outside the door to meet her lover, who
has no time during the day, and who has
important communications to make con-
corning the next Sunday out,'' or about

Orr state.

The day, so long deferred, of West
Virginia's development and improve
ment is certainly dawnins. The
newspapers within her borders have
made it their work for the past few
years to hold UP her resources before
the public and the articles setting
forth the vastness Of our latent wealth
have been copied and re copied until
the attention of capitalists; and H.
boring-men seeking homes, as well,
has been attracted to our Moutitain
State. And we cannot but believe
from the indications now visible
from all quarters that the next de-
cade will see our fertile valleys and
mountains occupied by immigrants,
and yielding up their riches to the
laborer. The following from an cx-
change is illustrative Of the point:
"a report is current that Balti.
more capitalists have purchased 40O,-
900 acres Of land in West Virginia,
which they propose to colonize with
Germans and other Europeans, and
they expect to establish q line of
steamers between Europe and Balti-
more for the purpose OF bringing over
emigrants To locate on these lands.
Such of these emigrants as may be
adapted to the work will be employ.
ed in developing the coal and iron
ore property of West Virginia"
There is probably no State which
offers superior advantages to West
Virginia, all things considered. Her
healthy, vitalizing climate with its
entire immunity from pestilences of
all KINDS; her mineral and coal dc.
posits: her vast timber area; the pro-
ductiveness Of the soil and the grade
and variety of products; the absence
Iof tornadoes and the destroying
grasshoppert and the hospitality Of
her citizens, cry aloud to those seek
ing homes, that West Virginia can.
not be excrfled in all that makes
homes desirable and happy. Land
is so cheap that an industrious man
needs no capital except muscle to be-
come the owner of a farm in q few
years, and then he can live like a
prince if he desires. With the in.
crease of population will certainly
come railroads, and then West Vir.
ginia will take step right up to
the front. --Raadolph Enterprise.
