From Finland comes the news that

sented Of q free state. subject to the
most despotic power in the civilised
world. It was in 1909 that the first
Alexander gave q solemn pledge that
he would respect the constitution Of
Finland, then newly subject to Rus
sia. So far the pledge has been kept
although q similar promise made to
Poland was violated. He appoints
for lite the members OF the senate, or
upper house, whose duties are those
Of u high court of justice and an ad-
ministrative council, legislative au-
thority being vested in the diet, an
elective body, in which all Glasses of
the population are represented, and
which is called together every five
years. 1t is the existence ofthis par-
lament that excites the jealousy and
luminosity of the ruling powers Of
Russia. The Russian people have be-
fore them the remarkable example of
a conquered province enjoying o con-
stitutional government, while they
themselves are absolutely denied any
voice in their own affairs. The be-
lief is now prevalent in Finland that
the pledge of Alexander is soon
to be broken, and the liberties ofthis
country ground under the common
Russian despotism. So strong is the
belief that thousands are emigrsting.

Lynohins a Ghost.

A remarkable instance Of supersti
ton is reported from Orenburg.
During the funeral Of wealthy peas
amt tho lid of the comm was seen to
rise, and the corpse proceeded to get
out. The priest and mourners were
30 alarmed that they ran back to
their village and locked themselves
up in their huts. The corpse who
was feeling cold las a corpse should)
ran after them, and succeeded In get
ting into the hut OF an aged peasant
woman who had not been quite SO
agile as the rest in fastening the door.
The peasants, when they had recov-
cred from their panic and learned
where the corpse was. proceeded with
guns and stakes ofpine to exercise"
the ghost" and killed him. When
the priest had sufficiently collected
his senses to explain the phenomenon
\of the ghost by the hypothesis
Ma prolonged state of coma and
came out Of his hut to rescue him he
found that the peasants, having
''laid" the ghost. had thrown him

Amusing Changes Of Name.

Gen. William Sooy Smiths sonhas
had his name changed to sooysmith
by legislative enactment. This will

take part in that reunion are just

Experience with an Eagle

Experience With an Eagle.
A Swede, Charles Peterson, had u
curious experience with q bald eagle
while going to his work one morning
near Woodstock, in Windham Coun-
ty, Ct, recently. He was trudging
along the New Boston country road,
when he saw O big sleepy-looking
bird perched on q branch of an oak
by the roadside. To Peterson the
bird seemed as big Us condor. 1t
paid no attention whatever to the
Swede, who walked up to the tree and
with q club knocked it off the branch,
which was n low one. With a Sec
ond blow the Swc,le killed the bird
and took it home, and a neighbor, q
hunter, told him that it was IN

Fermented Juice Of the Crane

Fermented Juice of the Grape.
Wine is the fermented Juice of the
grape, and it is distinguished from
other iermented and alcoholic liquors
by containing bi-tartrate of potash,
a constituent Of the grape. Black
berries, ourrants, and other berries,
by fermentation, will yield a wine, but
the name Of the berries from which
obtained is always appended to the
vinous product, When the term
wine alone is used the fermented
juice Of the grape is signifled, and
anything else is a misnomer. The
numerous varieties of wine are occa.
casioned by difference ofsoil, climate,
season, aud by the kind, quality and
condition of the grapes az to ripe
ness, the mode Of fermentation, and
by the manner and temperature ut
which the wine is preserved, and by
its age.
The strongest wines, such as sher-
~, port and Madeira are made from
grapes that are thoroughly ripened,
and which, on account of continuing
Q large amount Of alcohol, which
will range between 10 and 25 per
cent. Claret contains about - per
cent. and champagne about 10.
Sweet wines, like tokay, are made
from grapes 80 ripe that they are al.
most shriveled up like raisens, and
therefore contain much sugar and
the fermentation is arrested before
oil the sugar is converted into alec.
hol, which will hardly reach 10 per
cent. Champagne is bottled before
the fermentation has ceased, and
hence some of the carbonic acid re-
sulting from the fermentation is re-
tanned in the wine to be given off on.
~ when the bottle is opened. It is,
perhaps, not too much to say that
most wines exported from European
wine companies are adulterated,-
