claims Set Up by the Aggravated
Goldfish Aristocrsoy.

The curious libel suit, brought by
man named Nightingale sgainst the
Boston publishers Of Cape Cod Folks, |"
in which the author, Miss Mclean, used
the names Of actual persons for her
characters, will go to the Supreme Court
Of Massachusetts,.
The claims Of the aggrieved persons
were, with the exception OF Nightingale,
settled by the publishers. The suits
were largely lawye ers' suits. As soon as
1t was known that real names had been
used, the lawyers focked to Cape Cod
like sharks to whale ship. They made
those simple people believe that they
had been deeply wronged. They called
. meeting OF the ''snfferers" and OBJ
tanned permission to bring suits ut their
own expense. Some OF them even offered
premiums for the privilege OF bringing
suits or procuring settlement.
According to the publishers story,
who would not naturally be disposed to
look very favorably upon people that
were bleeding him, the author SO fal
from slandering them, idealized and ex.
slted them. The stouch of infiuite
calm," "the manly daring" and "the
oueenly beauty" did not show for much
when their possessors were clamorlne
for their drafts. One sanity person lin
the book said she never any Longer
spoke Of the author as Sally Mclean,
but always as Sally McDirty.
In the editions Of the book where the
names have been changed, nearly all Of
the persons referred to cannot even
identify themselves. Some wanted pa,
for dead relatives mentioned. Those
whose names did not get into the bool
are more vexed than those who did. The
others with their libel money aud thei
prominence are now the aristocracy o
the place, and look down upon thu
Others, while the latter feel poor
humiliated and envious. The autho
has created q kind Of peersge, socia
order or caste never before known OF

Hints 70 Wine Maksrs.

One Of the most serious mistakes made
by Californian wine growers is the indis-
crininate annual sale Of every gallon Of
wias in their cellars. Not sample is
kept for ageiDg. and in no way Is any
provision made for learning the effect
time works on this or that variety OF
wine. This is radically wrong, as those
interested may some day see to their
chagrin. II we owned q vineyard we
would cons der it OF paramount inport-
ance TO hold small package OF each
variety Of wine made under favorable
circumstances, in ORDER to determine
whsther his or that wine improves ma
ttsfialIy with aye, what character 1t
assumes, what properties disappear and
what properties appear, whether 1t
would be profitable TO plant more of the
variety Of vines which yielded this or
that wine, etc. Experimental blends
are also necessary to the attainment OF
the greatest possible amount Of success
with certain varieties OF wine, and to be
able to blend wines to advantage the
wine maker should be vcrsed in the
chemistry Of wines, and know which
properties want 10 be supplemented and
which to be reduced to secure saccess-
iilevenness Of flavor, bouquet, etc.
Many vineyardists say, "We have
not the necessary oellar-room and cooper
ags TO conduct the experiments you
speak Of" Very true; bat are you not
contemplating extensive outlays in the
way Of clearing more land and planting
II with vines? In most ossss, yes. Now,
do yoa realize that until you have con-
Quoted such experiments q We allude to
you are rushing along blindly, and may
and very probably shall sooner or later
have TO undo q great part Of the work
you are doing! Better TO plant little
more capital in cellar.room and cooper
age, and delay extending your viaeyard,
for in the long run it will lay you best
to go slow and look before you leap.
Experiment with the wine made from
vines planted in your own land and you
will be enabled TO proceed intelligently
In your art, and may make thousands Of
dollars by learning what to p,ant extern
sively, and how to make and handle
your wines to the best advantage. .--Cio,
