When the seventeen thousand periodi-
Gals issued in America are grouped to
yether according to their geographical
distribution, 1t is found that the State of
Maine occupies the 10Th position, as 1t is
sues only one hundred and sixty papers.
But when the average circulation of the
periodicals In each geographical section is
estimated, 1t Is discovered that Maine
heads them all, having an average issue
of over seven thousand copies for each

per cent. more than New York can claim.
The average issue of all the papers of all

CHINESE WING-MAKING.
The Process Which Has Been in Use for
Thousands of Years.

Wine-making is said to have existed
for thousands of years before the intro
duction Of distilling. The process is
simple. Glutinous rice, hWang-D1i, is
placed over fire in a large iron pan
and softened with warm water. 1t is
made into a thick, solid sort Of Cruel.
This stepped rice is placed on a table
with raised edges TO prevent the fluid
from Overlooking. Over the rice, when
in this state, the leaven to aid fermen-
tation Is sprinkled. The whole is then
mixed and mashed with an iron masher.
for several days. II the wine is de-
sired 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 a pressing chest Of
wood, called cha, the wine press. A
heavy stone presses it down and the
W lllt llONN tAb rum q SOib vi a t'dHy'
spout in the side Of the press The re-
mainder of the 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 wa
ter and keeps the second cover cool to
condense the spirit The spirit rises
from the soltened red millet below,
which has been under manipulation for
several days, and passes through tho
first cover TO the second. 1t here be-
comes condensed and flows down the
sides into n circular trough which re-
ceives il and delivers il from spout
Williams and Morrison's Dictionary
and Legge's Classics seem TO have been
compiled with the impression that TIE
Chinese praoticed distillation in ancient
times. This is an error. The Chinese
only knew the ordinary process Of fer.
mentation. Chinese Recorder.
