The great interest which centexs in tt

one takes any note ii the doings Of Con-
gresa. Net that that subject has been
brought directly before either body OF
Congress, but the discussion that is pro.
voked on nearly every occasion demon
strates the weight which this ali-ahsorb-
ing topic will have in the coming Presi-
dental campaign.

subjects Of discussion by those who ia

found Preston B. Plumb, of Kansas

from his party friends by quoting Words
worth's lines thus:

called upon to give his views on the
best plans to be pursued by the Demo

ous next fall. Democracy, they declare,
win naturally have to follow in the
wake of its leader, and adopt fres

Fads of the Seashore,

One of the queer fads of the seashore is
a sidewalk luncheon. All along the walks
are booths where Vienna sausages nre
cooked and handed to you on clam shell
"a sausage on one shell and baked pc.
tato on the other. You are supposed to
sit on the sand and eat them without salt
and lick your chops for more. Sillyl
Well, this is the place for silly things.
Another fad is grabbing. A party num-
bering from six to dozen go out in the
marsh channels and bait for crabs with q
piece Of beef tied to line. The crab Is
just idiot enough to hang on until lifted
into the boat.
And yet another is the moonlight fad
promenading the beach to listen to the
signing Of the clans. Yes, clans sigh.
That's one Of their duties on moonlight
night. Some folks can't hear it, but a
pair Of lovers, with his arm around her
waist and walking at slow gait, can
catch every sigh that clam sighs.-Cor.

emit Of the grape ~ Ftszrls.. eu.-~l1..
and other berries, by fermentation, will
yield wine, but the name of the berries
from which obtained is always appended
to the vinous product. When tho term
wine alone Is used the fermented Juice of
the grape is signifed, and anything else
is misnomer. The numerous varieties
of wine are occasioned by difference of
soil, climate, season, and by the kind,
quality and condition of the grapes as to
ripeness, the mode of fermentation, and
by the manner and temperature at which
the wine is preserved, and by its age.
The strong wines. such as sherry, port
and Madeira, are made from grapes
that are thoroughly ripened, and which,
on account of containing large amount
Of sugar, yield, when fermented. a greater
amount Of alcohol. which will range be-
tween 10 and 25 per cent. Claret contains
about IL per cent. and champagne about
10. Sweet wines, like tokay, are made
from grapes so ripe that they are almost
shriveled up to raisins, and therefore con-
tain much sugar, and the fermentation is
arrested before all the sugar is converted
into alcohol, which will hardly reach 10
per cent. Champagne is bottled before
the fermentation has ceased, and hence
some of the carbonic acid resulting from
the fermentation is retained in the wine,
to be given off only when the bottle is
opened. 1t is, perhaps. not too much to
say that most wines exported from Euro
pean wine countries are adulterated.--

To Shampoo Ones own nair.

Half the pleasure of having the hair
washed and groomed is to have some one
do it who knows how. In England, in
the large stores, there is a department of
hair dressing where an accomplished bar.
Der, with every convenience for shower
ing and drying, will wash the hair Of
ladies for one shilling. In this country a
good shampoo cost from fifty cents to 81
which is large sum for so simple an
operation.
After combing the snarls from the hair,
braid it loosely and bind the end with a
small elastic band. Draw tepid water in
basin and first wash the scalp thor
oughly with CASTLE soap; then let the
braid fall in the water, soap it and wash
as If clothes. Afterward thoroughly rinse
and wiring the braid in towel. Wipe
the head dry, undo the braid and brush
out, beginning at the lower end, when it
will not tangle. Let the hair loose in the
sun and air and it will dry in less than
half an hour. A woman's hair should be
washed at least monthly if kept fine and
healthy.-New York Evening Sun.
