How Champagne Is Made.

In France the making of champagne
is process requiring extreme care and
attention at every stage for at least two
years. The grapes are picked with
especial pains to keep any of them
from falling or receiving bruises.
Only the juice of the first pressing is
made into high-class wine, and the
quantity of this that shall be drawn is
regulated by weight. Four hundred
kilogrammes are allowed for every
forty gallons of wine. and when the
desired quantity has been obtained the
pressing is stopped. The protrudinR
edges of the mass which have escaped
the heavier pressure are cut off and
subjected to q second pressure, the
Juice from which is called the first
tdilLe A third pressure gives the
second tdiLLe, and o fourth the redeche,
juices that are considered fit only for
the workmen. When the scum has
risen in the wine-tubs it is taken of,
and the casks are filed and fumigated
with sulphur and put away, not quite
full, in the cellar, for fermentation.
The wine is racked off into other casks
when the fermentation has subsidized,
and becomes quite clear by the time
the December frosts set in. 1t is then
mixed, by bringing together thirty or
forty casks of the same growth, and
blended. Tannin is added to neutral
ize grease and deposits, and as much
alcohol as is required. At later
stage masque or deposit forms on the
side of the bottle, the removal of which
requires much care and skill and ma
nipulation for several weeks. After
ward syrup of sugar and alcohol is
added, in proportions varying accord
ing to the country to which the wine is
to be sent. Finally, the bottles are
corked, wired and set on end.

Cleyeland's Present Residence.

The house that Grover Cleveland
lives and works in covers nearly one
third of an acre of land, and has cost,
all told, $4,000, 900. 1t is modelled after
q castle in Dublin, and the architect,
who was South Carolina man named
Hoban, got $500 for drawing the plans.
When it was first built, away back
in the nineties, it cost $500, 600;
but the British burned out its inside,
and its cost has since added to that
sum about $1,700,000. In it all the

AS rule, longevity is less frequent
than people think. The age of eighty
is reached by only one person in
eighteen, the age of 100 by one in

seventy-four die between sixty and
seventy, about fifty-five between seven

eighty and ninety, and not more than
one between ninety and 10). The aver

of Congress they ask anything
something of more Importance than a cheap
medal to show their services in the United
States army or navy. The best medal y
that any soldier can have Is GAR. badge,
which is a better certificate of his service in
the army than any medal that might be
awarded him by Congress. Before a man
can enter the GAR. he has to give evidence
beyond doubt of his honorable service, and
this will be better aties.ed to under the pre-
cautions taken by every Post to insure that
its membership shall be composed of none
but honorabiy discharged soldiers and sail
ors than by any measures which Congress
would be likely to institute to certify to the
same. Still further, we protest against the
phrase Army of the North" There was
no such thing as the Army Of the North"
nor Army of the South.n There was the
Union army and the rebel army, both of
which were made up by men from all Sec
tions of the country. Let us stick to the
GAR. badge, which is now recognized and
hOnored throughout the land as the pfeudest
ornament that a man can wear, and the best
testimonial that he can have to his credita-
BILE service in defense of the country.

Black regarding his pension of 800 month.

no refutation or defense seemed necessary

any explanation OF defense of the fact that

Gen. Black did, and who was wounded so
