About Champagne.
Exchange.

The quantity of champagne made at Rheims and Epernay, France, is almost incredible. A great deal of nonsense is written and spoken on this point. One is gravely told that more cham pagne is drunk In Russia alone than all the vineyards of France could SUD- ply, and that America-well,A America gets cider for champagne. The fa, { is that it is very difficult to smuggle champagne into Russia, and every bottle which goes there Is recorded at the custom house on the frontier, for the Russian tax Is eighty cents a bot tie. England and America consume more champagne than all the other na- tions put together, excepting France. The supply is equal to the demand, despite the fact that America imports more champagne every year. One house in Rheims alone exports two millions of bottles of champagne yearly, all high class wines, too. From the entire champagne district of France, there wss exported last year twenty millions of bottles of cham pagne, eight millions of bottles of which came to America

Boom n Jsrusalsm. Brooklyn Standard.

Jerusalem has recently taken unto itself new life. In the words of the western worldling, the ancient city is enjoy ing "a boom" Travellers say that since the harsh law made by the Turks forbiddirg . Jew to remain longer than three weeks at one time in the Holy City has been suspended, Hebrews In large numbers are hocking to the Mecca of the chosen people, and that there Is more prospect now of the Jews being the dominant class in the old capital than there has been since the dispersion. Most of the streets of the city are we'll paved and the sani- tary condition has been improved The value of property has advanced and the new movement will, no doubt, be accelerated if the proposed railroad is completed which Is to run from JaffA to Jerusalem. The city has a police force and everyImorning the pop ulace are awakened by the bugle call of the Turkish band. In fine house built on the very walls of the city a colony Of fifteen people, who are known as "the Americans" have found pleasant resting place. These people have come from different parts of the United States and are awaiting the fulfillment of the promise that God will regenerate the world, "beginning at Jerusalem" Another reminder of home to all of our countrymen who visit the Holy City is the American flag, which floats from the roof of the Consular building on the top of Mount Zion.

Just as Glad to See an Actor.
New York Star.

General Custer, Lawrence Barrett and Stuart Robson went over to Brooklyn years ago to hear MT. Beech CT preach. After the sermon the three went around to the house of a friend where Mrs. Beecher was to come immediately after church. They were seated in the parlor chatting as the great preacher came in. The names had been given to him in the hall. As soon as he reached the threshold of the parlor door he said, "Mr Robson !" The actor went over and extended his hand.
 "I am delighted to see you-de- lighted to see you. But you are 6 much younger looking man than I ex- pected to find."
 "Oh, am forty. five years at least, MT. Beecher," replied Robson.
 "I shouldn't think it, sir shouldn't think it. You are very young man to be secretary of the navy"
 "I am not MT. Robeson. the secre- tary of the navy, but MT. Robson, the actor"
 "Oh, it makes no difference" said MT. Beecher, "I am glad to see you notwithstanding my mistake"
 But he lost no time in turning from him to pay court to General Custer. As he had made 6 mistake on the po- litical end he made up for it by pay ing court to the military hero until the discussion beca"e general.

IN THE PARKWAY.
BY HARRY BURTON.

Never a worA Is said,
 Bus ft tremolee m the air, And the truant voice has sped To vfbrate everywhere; And perhaps lar 0n in eternal years The echo may ring upon our ears. Never are kind acts done
 To wipe the weeping eyes, But like flashes Of the sun. They signal to the skies; And up above the angels read Hew we have helped the sorer need. Never day is given
 But it tones the after years. And lt carries up 10 heaven It's sunshine or its tears: While the to-morrows stand and wait The silent mutvs by the outer gate. There is no end to the sky,
 And the stars are everywhere, And the time IS eternity,
 And the here is over there. For the common deeds of the common day Are ringing bells In the Far Away.

Breathing the Germs of Disease.


 To inhale the germs of disease with their daily breath is the fate of deni- Eens of malaria scourged localities everywhere. The endemic atmos- pheric poison may, however, be reft of its venom and rendered innoxious by & defensive use of Hostetter's Stom- sch Bitters. This pre-eminently safe and effective remedy and safeguard not only eradicates the disease when devel- oped, but enables the system to safely brave its assaults. Every physical function is confirmed in or restored to regularity, the circulation quickened if sluggish, and bilious habit, which of itself begets & proneness to both intermittent and remittent types Of mslarial disease, where extrinsic atmospheric causes exist, powerfully counteracted by this inimitable forti- tying and defensive agent, which has, moreover, none of the disagreeable characteristics of drastic cathartic or an alkaloid. Fever and ague, dumb ague and ague cake, and the cdlenturG of the Isthmus, are conquered by 1t surely, pleasantly. Rheumatism, neu- ralgia, gout, kidney and bladder troubles, constipation and indigestion yield to it.

REVOLVER OR SABRE.
N ExChanRc.

Few soldiers were ever braver thai General Custer, but even he was no without some feelings of nervousness as he rode into his first battle, tn battle of Bull Run. He was hardl, more than boy, only three days ou of West Point, and was in front of company of old soldiers, all of whom would have a sharp eye upon their nev lieutenant. He knew, also, tha Walker, one of his brother officers, man fresh from civil life, was lookinl up to him as 6 West Pointer, who, O course, knew all about the art of war
 As we rode up the hill, he in iron of his platoon and I, abreast of him, il front of mine, Walker inquired in tn most solemn tones:
 "Custer, what weapon are you goiD, to use in the charger"
 From my earliest notions of the tru cavalrymAn had always pictured hin in the charge bearing aloft his curves sabre and cleaving the skulls of al with whom he came in contact. w had but two weapons to choose from each of us carried a sabre and revolver.
 I promptly replied, "The sabre, and, suiting the action to the word, flashed my bright new blade from it scabbard, and rode forward as if totall, unconcerned.
 Walker, yielding, no doubt, to wha he believed was "the way we do it 6 West Point" ," initiated my motion, sn, forth came his sabre. But if I seemet to him unconcerned, 1 was far iron enjoying that feeling.
 As we rode at 6 deliberate walk al the hill, I began arguing in my owl mind as to the comparative merits O sabre and revolver as weapons o attack. If I remember correctly, reasoned pro and con about as follows
 "Now, the sabre Is 6 beautiful wea pon 1t produces an ugly wound; th term, sabre charge,' sounds we'll, and above all, the sabre is sure; it neve misses fire. It has this drawback, how ever: In order to be made effective, i is indispensable that you spproacl very close to your adversary, so clos that if you don't unhorse or disabl him, he will most likely do as mucl for you.
 "So much for the sabre. Now, a to the revolver, 1t has this advantag over the sabre: One is not compellet to range himself alongside his adver sary before beginning his attack, bu may select his own time and distance To be sure, one may miss his aim, bu there arc six chambers to empty, ant if one, two or three miss, there are stil three shots left to ire at close quar ters. As this Is my first battle, hadn' I better defer the use of the sabre til after I have acquired 8 little experi ence?"
 The result was that I returned m, sabre to it's scabbard, and, withou utteriDg . word, drew my revolve and poised it opposite my shoulder Walker, as If following me in m, mental discussion, no sooner observes my change of weapon than he followed suit.
 With my.revolver in hand, put on trial mentally. First, I Irealized tha h tho rush and excitement of tn chsrge 1t would be difficult to talk anything Iike accurate aim. Then might not every shot be fired withou
