British CircumlOcution.

The circumlocutiop office still eX-
lists, says The 50. JdmeS'S Gazette, and
an official of the royal courts of justice
has supplied a correspondent with an
account of one of its recent triumphs.
Some time ago he found that his fay-
orite ollice-chair was in q shaky condi-
tion, and required either the applica-
tion of little glue or the hammering
in of couple of nails. He represent
ed the matter to care-taker, who
laid before him for signature form of
requsition for repairs addressed to the
board of works. The document was
in due course copied, entered, and dis
patched; and in weeks time man
arrived, gravely inspected the crippled
piece of furniture, and departed to re-
port upon the gravity of the situation,
Ten days afterward two other men
visited the scene, examined, consulted
together, note books in hand, and dis
appeared. Ten days once more
elapsed, and then at last there came a
cabinet-maker, who in less than five
minutes put the chair firmly upon its
legs again. But it is not always that
the board of works acts in this dilatory
fashion. Lord Justice Fry, upon ar
irving one morning at his court, found
that the key of a cupboard containing
his robes had been mislaid. 1t was al
ready 10 o'clock, and, having ne time
to lose, the Judge ordered his clerk to
break open the door and at once to
send to the board of works requisi-
tion for the repair of the damages.
BY return post came the reply, which
was a model Of brevity, and was to the
effect that, since Lord Justice Fry had
broken the door, Lord Justice Fry had
better mend 1t.

Faithful Mothers,

How much there is sometimes in Il
single word One word can often
move the heart more deeply than the
whole of an elegant sermon. Speak
the word "houschOld, - or "lrcSidc, -
or "homc,' to one who is wandering
fricndlcSS, homeless, and, perhaps, in
strange land, and how quickly the
tears will start. the bosom hCavc and
the lips quiycr. Memory gors back
with lightning speed to the days of
childhood when the loved household
gathered in an unbrokcn band around
the lirrSidc in the dear home. The
happy voices that are scattered far
away. or huShcd in the silent dUrmi-
tory Of the dead, are plainly heard by
mcmury'S ear, and above the rest
sounds the loving mothers voice, rs
with ore of the sweet songs Of Zion she
sang her weary child to sleep. As
memory brings mp so faithfully scenes
Of the old home, and Just as faithfully
his life since he left that home, how
our wandercr wishes himself back
again an innocent child on his mother :
lap listening to the old Bible stories
that are ever new. The stories
float in his memory, and thoughts Of
them and his mother cause the tears to
roll down his checks. Oh, the mcm-
ory of loving, faithful mother can
soften the hardest heart How her ad-
vice, prcccpts and love can help us
even when She has long been mOudcr-
ing in the grave. When we think of
home how our thoughts will 20 back
to the place where mother was, and
when we look forward TO the beautiful
home beyond the river. faith and i'm
aginatiOn see mother there. Oh, moth
crs of the youth of our country, do
you realize what Il power for good is
in your hands if you will onI y use it?
Are YOU so living before your children,
so training them, that when they 90
out into the world away from you, or
YOU are taken from them, their mem
orics of you will be rs n guiding star
to keep them in the right path? Do
you realize that God has placed the
children with you to take care of for
Illll. 10 NOU sup W llllh tlul tHt
way in which mothers train their chill
drcn now will influence the whole ma
tion. aye, the whole world, in years to
come? Ii youdo, why doyou leave that
little one of tender years out in the
street away from under your own eye
and car, to learn more of evil in ore
hour than You can uproot in Il life
time? How are you training your sons
that in time to come are to fill offices
all over tn, land? Are youdoing your
best to have them grow up honest,
truthful men? Are you training your
daughters TO be true women, worthy
to become the wives and mothers of
the nation? Oh, woman, take care of
the precious talent God has given you;
and one way to make the best use OF
it is to make your home the most
pleasant spot on earth. Gather your
household around II cheerful lircSidc,
where the cold, wintry winds of un-
kindness and neglect are not allowed

champagne is not what it used to
be- said II wine merchant yesterday.
The old process produced pure,
wholesome wine, but the new pro.
cess does not. BY the old process the
juice of the grapes is allowed to fer
ment in the casks first Fermentation,
you know, is IN action of nature that
throws of impurities, and the more of
it vou have the better. After the cask
fermentation the wine is bottled with Il
little syrup or perhaps few rasins
added to produce n second fcrmenta-
ton.
The bottles arc then put on racks in
the vault with the neck down, so that
the sediment fallsupon the cork. Men
90 through the vaults every day for
three years and take up the bottles and
shake them, so that each bottle is han
died about twelve hundred times be-
fore it is put on the market, During
that time the corkS are changed three
times. Now, that is the way true
champaign is made. The new process
turns oul an inferior article, contain
ing nitrogen and sometimes albumin
ous matter as well. 1t is the second
or bottled fermentation that permits
the nitrogen to escape and completes
the work of good winc-making. The
new process omits this second fcrmen-
tation and puts the wine on the market
in two months from the time they be-
gin to make it. If Il man drinks too
much champaign nowadays he has the
most beastly headache to which the
flesh is heir, and it generally lasts two
or three days. That is caused by the
nitrogen in the champaign, left there
by the new process.
"Somc of the best known brands are
now produced by the new process.
You see, the demand is so great that
the old process is too slow to supply
it, and it will be cold day when
French wino-makers get left in mat

the champagne into the market in two
months, but make it now very largely
of green, scrubby grapes, and even OF
'milk-sour' wines anything to swell
the profits.
When the Germans captured Alsace
and Lorraine, which were the garden
spots of France, they went through
every old chateau and cellar and drank
all the champagne they contained.
