Aduiteration Of Communion Wine.

A clergyman who prides himself on
using nothing but the purest wine at his
communion table was recently much dis.
gusted by the exhibit made by chemist
who happened to be his guest for few
days. He and the chemist were discuss.
ing the wine question. The chemist de,
clared that at many communion tables
doctorcd and adultcrated wines were used.
The dominic said that whatever might be
the case elsewhere, there could be moth
ing wrong with his communion wine, for
he always made point Of purchasing IL
himself, and of patronizing none but the
most reliable wine merchants.
The chemist showed him, by the appli
cation Of few very simple tests, that
what he had supposed to DO the purest
wine was doctored article, made of ex.
ceedingly cheap materials and colored
with logwood. There are many other
cases in which similar investigation would
be followed by similarly unpleasant dis
coveries.
There is ono easy and certain way TO
obtain for communion purposes the pure
juice of the grape In style above criti-
cism as to either fermentation or adul-
teration. Real Craps can now be procured
at almost any season of tho year. To
squeeze out the Juice, strain it and mix IL
with suitable quantity of water is as
easy and simple as making pitcher OF
lemonade. Why don't some of tho
churches introduce this plan?-New York

inventor Of the shad Matching box, first
put into use In 1853 on the Connecticut

how enormous the production may be on
small area and how much superior this
is to the first system of Matching on
gravel. The Greens have Crossed" the
salmon and the brook trout, producing a
red spotted progeny which grows a fifth
faster than either Of the parent varieties.
They also Crossed" tho California salmon
and the brook trout; but tho female of
the new hybrid is not able to expel her
eggs, which follow the type of the salmon
while she follows that of the trout, so the
hybrid is not reproductive. Lately they
have crossed striped bass with shad,
salmon trout with white fish, and tho
herring with the shad, and the eggs have
hatched; but 1t Is not yet known whether
the resultant hybrid Is reproductive.

state fish commissioners immediately
after tho war. New York adopted It COM

Barnwen Roosevelt and Seth Green being
the first commissioners. Fifteen million
young shad were soon turned loose in tho
Hudson, and In oil waters over 100000

from various governments in honor of
his splendid achievements TO natural
science and in increasing the food supply.
Two gold medals and ono silver medal
are from the Societe d'Acclimation, Of

tional Fischerei husstellung, OF Berlin,

The origin Of the range cattle growing
industry In the United States dates back
to about the Fifteenth century, when
horned cattle were introduced from Spain
by way of Mexico among the Pueblo In.
dams residing along the east bank Of the
Rio Grande. Later on the early colonists
to the republic of Texas took with them
herds of horned cattle, and in this way
Texas became the mother of the range
cattle industry in the United States.
Here it was almost wholly confined until
after the rebellion. Prior to the late war
nearly the whole of Texas was given up
to cattle growing. After the war the dis
banding of the great armies lessened the
demand and Texas swarmed with great
herds in excess Of the market demand and
local consumption. Cattle were Of little
value, and yet these herds were rapidly
increasing. What was TO be done? The
more enterprising ranchmen Of Texas be-
gan to look for new ranges and markets
that would consume the enormous surplus.
California then had but few cattle. The
states of Kansas and Nebraska and tho
territories west Of the Missouri river were
sparsely populated. The vast region Of
magnificent grazing area to be found
there, and upon which the buffalo roamed,
readily offered the temptation for field
of experiment.
II the wild bison could subsist on these
plants and in the valleys and parks OF
the Rocky Mountain country, Why could
not cattlef Winter and summer the
buffalo found sufficient grass. and hence
the more enterprising Texas cattlemen
came to the conclusion that domestic cat.
tie, bred and raised upon the prairie grass
of Texas and left TO their own exertions
for subsistence, would be adapted TO the
fine grasses of the plains Of the west and
northwest states and territories, and
where at that time only the buffalo grazed.
Thus the study of the life and habits of
the buffalo led to the idea which has made
this the greatest range and cattle growing
country in the world Not few Texas
men came, and some from California, and
all drove their herds into this newer
country. Their sucness caused others ia
follow, and eastern spectators were at
tracted BY the fine opportunities for in
vestment. Thus sprung up this wonder
full industry, for soon the unoccupied ter
ritory of the plains country Of the west
was filled with great herds Of grass raised
cattle-cattle thst knew not home oi
master. and to which grain would have
been almost q scarecrow. And with al
this there came cowboy, sui generis
about whom there clusters so much OF
romance.--Denver Cor. Globe Democrat

same Partisan goes homo to a room in
which every crack is stuffed with cotton,
winds his or her head in flannel, and turns
pale il the suggestion of draught makes
itself felt. In omnibus or car, in public
hall or theatre or church, ventilation is
the cardinal crime and air q terror, and
the unhappy foreigner gasps and rapidly
asphyxiates where the Partisan rejoices.
