MAKING FRENCH WINES,
Amusing Story of the Alleged Falsifica-
tions of Clarets I'm France.

Geo. r.. Sims. in London Referee
The Justification of wines is once more be-
coming burning subject in France. 1t is no.
torious that millions of bottles of the vim
rouge which is consumed at home and sent
abroad are absolutely guiltless of one drop of
the juice of the grape. Concerning this whole
sale Justification" Of Bordeaux wines / was
told an amusing story this winter by a French
gentleman who was my travelling companion
from Marseilles to Paris.
Here is the story: A farmer in Normandy.
seeing wine advertised by firm in Bor-
deaux, wrote for a couple of casks of it, and
forwarded the money. A fortnight afterward
il arrived at the station, and he sent his carter
to bring IL home. The carter brought two
casks. but, to the farmers astOnishment, only
one cask was full the other was empty. An
examination of the cask showed that il had not
been tempered WITH and there was no trace o.
leakage. Evidently an empty cask had been
sent by mistake. The farmer at once wrote to
the Bordeaux wine merchant to complain of
the carelessness. In due course a reply was
received, which was as follows: Dear Sir:
am sorry for the mistake made by my man, but
you can easily rectify it. II you will ill the
empty cask with water and leave it for a fort
night you will find the wine all right The in
gradients are at the bottom of the cask. but nv
man foolishly omitted to add the water Wait
ing your further orders, l am. sir. yours. &c"
My French friend assures me that this was a
fact. The story became public through the
Norman farmer demanding the return of his
money, and, the wine merchant Objecting, the
case came before the law courts After this.

STARVING THE TEETH.
Something About the Proper Food for
Building Bones and Teeth.

From the American Analyst.
Teeth are just as easily starved to death as
the stomach. In one way it is q blessing to
have been born Of poor parents What food
the poor give their children is of the variety
that goes to make strong bones and teeth 1t
is the outside of all the grains. of all cereal
foods, that contains the carbonate and phos-
phate of lime and traces of other earthly salts
which nourish the bony tissue and build the
frame up.
If we do not furnish to the teeth of the young
that pabulum they require, they cannot posi-
bly, be built up. 1t is the outside of corn. oats
wheat, barley, and the like, or the bran So
called, that We sift away and feed to the swine
that the teeth actually require for their proper
nourishment. The wisdom of man has proven
his folly. shown In every succeeding generation
of teeth. which become more fragile and weak
These Touring mills are working destruction
upon the teeth of every man, woman and child
who partakes of their fine bolted flour They
sift out the carbonates and the phosphates of
lime Ill order that they may provide that fine
white flour which is proving whitened sepul-
chre to teeth.
Oatmeal is one of the best foods for supplying
the teeth with nourishment 1t makes the dem
tine. eementum, and enamel strong. fint-ike
and able to resist all forms of decay. If you
have children never allow any white bread upon
your table. Bread made of whole wheat
ground, not bolted, so that the bran which con-
tains the minute quantities of lime is present
is best. To make good. wholesome, nourish-
ing bread, take two bowls of wheat meal and
one bowl of white or boited -four and make by
the usual process. Nothing is superior to
brown bread FOR bone and tooth building. This
is made out Of rye meal and corn meal. Baked
beans, too, have considerable supply of these
lime salts and should be on your table, hot or
cold, three times week. In brushing the
teeth always brush up and down from the gums
instead of across. Brush away from the gum
and on the grinding surface of the teeth.

THE UGLIEST MAN IN OHIO.
Two Stories on Old Joe Geiger-He
Says Sherman Put Up Job on Him,

Here is a good story, told as original, on
quaint old Joe Geiger by the Chicago Journal.
He has always been known as the ugliest man
in Ohio, and prides himself Oh this distinctive
and superlative title. 1t is not every man who
can achieve superlative. When he was cam
paigning for the Republicans down on the big
Darby he was introduced as the ugliest man in
Ohio. His fame, both in this respect and as a
great joker, had preceded him, of course. A
village joker. who was no prize beauty himself.
arose when Joe was introduced, and, pointing a
pistol at him. said: II made a solemn vow
many years ago that if l ever met a man uglier
than myself would kill him.
Joe looked at him second and exclaimed:
''ShoOt, for Gods sake. shoot If / am uglier
than you are | want to diei'
Another story about Joe relates to his habit
when he was speech-making of having some
thing III the way OF a ''stimilent' on his desk
to partake of during his efforts. He used to
have private engagement with his agent by
which some sin was put In his pitcher. which
be would pour out as pure. uhadulterated
water so far as appearances went.
Once, when he was about to open up to a
large audience in Mansfield, which included
John Sherman: one of those busybodies who
make themselves prominent on crowded coca
sions hustled up and took the prepared pitcher
I'll get you some fresh water, general" he
said. effusively.
No, no. exclaimed the general, in great
alarm. That water is all right. l don't like
fresh water"
But this has been standing here some time"
said the tend, land is stale. 1t won't take me
but moment, general"
PLEASE leave that water" begged the gen.
erai. in an agonized voice. Il love stale water:
l love it real stale and warm. That water isn't
warm and stale enough. Fresh water makes
my head ache. Please leave it. Don't trouble
yourself, beg of you"
''Ob. no trouble at ALL" said the fend. cheer
fully. and away he went for fresh water. fol-
lowed by the generals eye, which had an ex-
preston embracing the glare of the eye of a
tiger thirsting for blood and the look that is
never seen in the human eye except when de-
spair is in the heart.
The general can never tell the story without
shudder. and always concludes it by asserting
his belief that it was job put up on him by
Sherman

Dagonet. in London Referee.
No one who has given barbarism fair trial
ever wants to return to civilization but plenty
of people who have a surfeit of civilization
would be glad to have spell among the bar
barians. 1 am sick Of the treachery, the envy
hatred, jealousy and petty-mindedness of the

their souls and think themselves OF such tre-
mendous Importance in the worlds economy.

the baby next door, and the organ-grn der

Young Mems Guild Of Good Life want to
spend the afternoon and evening of my life in
free-and-easy barbarism. I've spent the morn
ing in civilization, and if there's much more of
the same sort I'm not on.
Seriously speaking a barbarian's life is ar
ranged Oh far higher natural standard than
that of q civilized man or woman. 1t is more
honest life. Civilization is one long organized
hypocrisy. Civilization makes a boy a prig be-
fore he is out of his long Clothes and it makes
girl priggess-I forget the feminine of prg

ceits and frauds of civilization become so much
part and parcel OF our existence that we hum

twenty years of humdrum and hard work, a
man wants new sort of a world to live in, and
he wants to escape altogether from the shackles

BRIGHT AT THE REFORM CLUB
The Dead Statesman Among His Polit-
ical Companions.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
OF late years he avoided the house of COM
mons almost entirely-if remember Alright he
never even visited it when he was in town last
year-and as consequence the Reform club
became more than ever his chosen home and
resort The little smoking room" however.
knew him no longer. His old friends had
nearly all passed away, and the snug apart
ment overlooking the gardens at the back of
Pail Mall was, as he once expressed it. 'peopled
by too many memories to be q pleasant place to
spend solitary hour in" 1t was to the great
smoking room, accordingly, that he was wont
to resort every evening" when his frugal $50 din
ner-consisting usually of soup and pudding
had been partaken of. Here, in an arm
chair at the end of the room nearest to Pal
Mall, he would sit reading some favorite book
until the other members, whose hour for
dining was not SO primitive as his, came up
stairs from the coffee room. Then he was sure
to be surrounded by two or three friends, and
with them he was wont to talk at his best. And
such talk it was! As you listened to the old
man you recognized in the music of his voice.
IN the Charming purity and simplicity of his
language III the concentrated passion which at
tunes gave to his tones deeper note than that
which men ordinarily use in conversation. the
great qualities which in bygone days
had enabled him to thrill and fascinate
the house Of commons or the great
public meetings he was wont to address
at birmingham or Manchester. Men have
often spoken of John Bright's intolerance"
but do not think that anyone who knew him
In the intimacy of private life was mt all con-
sclous OF that intolerance, for though he was
vehement enough when he was denouncing
certain persons and certain incidents in the
political history of his time. there was so much
of genial human kindness much, too of q
thoroughly English humor in his ideas. that the
edge was taken off the bitterness of his denun-
Citations. and You felt that you would not be nm
willing to be denounced by him yourself. if
only he would show the same charitable spirit
toward you. His letters unhappily were not

the half-tender. half-humorous infection OF the
voice which attended his spoken utterances
when he was discussing policy he disliked,
and they thus conveyed an entirely erroneous
impression to the mind of the reader.
