The assertion, often made and generally
accepted as true, that the French bought
large quantities of American wine, recasked
and rebottled it as a French product and
shipped it back to the United States, is
fully disprOyed by the last report of the
bureau of statistics For the year ending
with last June the total exports of Ameri
can wines were 319,OO0 gallons. OF this
quantity only 1000 gallons went to France
1t must therefore be concluded that the
cheat involved in putting foreign labels on
domestic products Is one for which dealers
this side of the ocean are responsible. What
the Frenchmau really is doing, according
TO late advices, is TO mark his wares with
American brands, that they may End sale

lent California prunes grown in France
are now on sale. 1t is only within year

WOMAN AND HOME.
A MANS IDEAS OF WHAT CONSTR
TUTES A PERFECT WOMAN.

Dress of Turkish Women-DecoratiOn of
Homes-Sound Advice for wOmen-The
Women of the HimaIayes - Manual
Training for Women.
Here is mans idea of what the perfect
woman should be for some sweet girl to
| cut out and paste in her scrap book:
| First of all, because he is man, he in
| sists that the perfect woman shall always
be well dressed, in as much taste IS the
| silly fashion of the day will allow, and in
such way as ito set off her beauty when
she is young. to make her seem still beau
tiful when she is past her youth, and 10
hide the ravages of time when she IS old"
Next she must know something about
art of all kinds-art in painting, sculpture,
poetry. literature, music. and must have
trained her eye so that she knows good
work and is not carried away with shams
and humbugs.
Above all, she must be sympathetic, and
not talk so as to show how clever she
is, but to bring out the best points of the
man she is talking TO.
She must be intelligent and gracious, as
well as sympathetic, and always awoman's
woman, of whom other women think and
speak well.
She must love everything that is beauti-
full and good, and hate everything that is
coarse and ugly.
And the man who has set forth this COM
prehensive little gospel of womanhood,
which every girl would do well to read,
mark and inwardly digest, is none other
than Walter Besant.
Ruskin gives dressing, also, as one of the
three cardinal virtues which every woman
ly woman must possess, and says that
women should always 'dress beautifully,
not finely, unless on occasion, and then
very finely and beautifully, too. 1t would
appear that, in consideration of refined
men, true women are queens of the realm
by right divine, and lose something of
their high prerOgative when their robes of
state are shabby and crumpled.-New York
Sun.

A BAD OPINION OF BERMUDA.


I It Grows Nothing but Onions to Perfec-
ton, and It's Fish Are Not Good.
Bermuda brings to the minds of most
people vision of tropical luxuriance.
/ 1t is not q tropical island at all; it is
only semi-tropical. The tropical trees
and plants here, with the exception of
the banana, live just as long as they
are cherished and watched with care

taneous in their growth, and they never
spread to much extent, even under the
aiding process.
There are limited number of palm
trees of the different varieties, and a
few handsome ones are among them.
The palmetto and pawpaw are seen.
The India rubber and the calabash tree
are represented by a few specimens,
and the former in one or two cases has
grown to great size. But none Of these
trees looks as if it belonged in Bermuda.
Their appearance is very much as if
they were set out in one of our own
gardens in the summer season.

tree that seems indigenous to the soil
of Bermuda. 1t is the cedar. This

grows spontaneously. If there is any
other tree that does it escaped my OBJ
servatiOn.
The soil everywhere is thin, composed
of a red loan, and is not fertile. In
stead of the luxuriant richness Iexpect-
ed, l find the islands barren. They grow
nothing in abundance but the onion.
Not even grass is raised to any extent.
The tomato comes to useful maturity
and limited number of potatoes are
raised, of which white and sweet are
both good, but the islands import every
thing else. Aside from the banana
which is smaller III size than that to
which we are accustomed, there is no
fruit here which has not been imported.
l have not seen Bermuda orange or
lemon, to say nothing of figs or pome-
granates.
