In their campaigns the favorite

lection increases the wages OF work.
men. and its absence acted with the
opposite effect. Such theories they
have preached from one end Of the
land to the other. and they have often

come generally known in the United
States that wages are advancing
greatly there, accompanying the
steady improvement OF trade In all
parts Of the United Kingdom. This
has been accomplished 90 quietly that
little public attention has been at
tracted to the matter. ever in Great
Britain herself. During tho latter
part Of last year the coal miners Of
Lancashire. Yorkshire and the mid
land counties OF England obtained an
advance in wages OF ten per cent. Some
time ago they asked for another ad-
vance Of the same proportion. and.
after a little delay, it was conceded
them that they should have an In
crease OF five per cent. the first Of this
month. followed by i've per cent on
top Of that at the first OF October.
These satisfactory conditions arc
not confined to the coal miners 81
Great Britain. but lron-workcrs, ship
builders and employees in all kinds Of
manufactures are rejoicing In an in
crease OF wages. These pleasant Re
suits have been brought about without
recourse to strikes. and are the natura
consequence Of Great Britain's i'm
mensc trade monopoly, secured BY nd
v~antagcous and liberal commercial
laws.

Cnfnese Wine Making.

Wine making is said to have existed
for thousands of years before the intro
iuction of distilling. The process is SIM
pie. Glutinous rice, or hwang-mi, is
placed over fire in a large iron pan and
Eoftened with warm water. 1t is made
into a thick, solid sort of Cruel. This
stepped rice is placed on table with
raised edges to prevent the fluid from
overlooking. Over tine rice, when in
this state, the leaven to aid fermentation
is sprinkled. The whole is then mixed
and mashed with an iron masher, and
remains in large stoneware jar for
several days. If the wine is desired to
be of a sweet taste two days are enough;
but for wine without sweet taste four or
five days are required. To make the
second kind Of wine stronger the Chinese
brewer often adds spirit. After all this
the wine, solid and liquid parts together,
is placed in a cloth bag, and this goes
into pressing chest of wood called cha,
the wine press. A heavy stone presses
it down and the wine flows cut from a
sort of teapot spout in the side of the
press.
The remainder of solid matter is called
tsan, and is used to feed animals or as a
ferment The method of distilling was
introduced in the Yuen dynasty. To
the wooden cylinder which holds the
millet there are three covers. The outer
and upper one contains cold water and
keeps the second one cool to condense
the spirit. The spirit rises from the
softened red millet below, which has
been under manipulation for several
days, and passes through the first cover
to the second. 1t here becomes con-
densed and flows down the sides into
triangular trough which receives it
and delivers it from a spout. Williams
and Morrisou's dictionary and Legg's
classics seem to have been compiled with
the impression that the Chinese practiced
distillation in ancient times. This is an
error. The Chinese only knew the or
binary DroceSs of fermentation

A WISH.

From din and strife Of town afar,
In summer ! would find home
Set in the green fields like a star,
That burnsin heavens sapphire dome;
And like the placid sweep Of sky
Around that jewel of the night
I'd have the clover meadows lie,
Wherin the bees should find delight;
A winding silver brook to play
The pebbly music of its mirth,
To mirror heavens milky way,
And be its echo On the earth
For clouds be mine the fringed trees,
In whose leaf arches birds might bide,
And hang their cradles in the breeze
And rock their young upon its tade
My paths, paved by the sun and shade,
Swept by the wind and washed by dew,
Should be noosaics deity laid,
Forever fresh. forever new.
Such be my summer home where time
So softly, unrecocded- goes,
That life seems like meaodious rhyme
Set in the worlds majestic prose.
And as the Starlight overpaSt-
Dies in the dawn's dew scented breath
Lord, be It mine, 20 find at last
Day on the morning side Of death.
