NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLES.
The High Percentage in the Breakage o
Champagne Bottles.

Champagne Bottles.
The quality of the bottles for cham
pagne is an important matter. Unless
their strength is very considerable
there is sure to be terrible waste by
breakage. Their price is sensible
item in the manufacturers budget, and,
curiously enough, it is found that cham
pagne bottles can not be used second
time, as the pressure to which they are
subjected seems, in some unexplained
fashion, to strain the glass so as to
make it unsafe for future use. Indeed,
it is stated that a thrifty manufacturer
who once made the experiment of put
ting new wine in old bottles, to the
number of 5000, speedily found his eel
lars filed with broken glass and flooded
with wine, less than a scare of bottles
out of the whole remaining intact.
Sometimes solution of cane-sugar is
added before the wine is bottled, but
this depends on the character of the
particular vintage. The grape juice OF
1874, for example, was naturally, in
point of sweetness, about equivalent to
that of an average year plus per cent.

until a later stage. After being bottled,
the wine is at oEce cor1ed, the corlss
are secured with an ingenious contriv-
ance which dispenses with wires, and
the bottles are usually kept in the
warehouses above ground, at tenn
perature warm enough to encourage
effervescence, unless, indeed, the wine
contains sufficient carbonic acid gas to
make it possible to dispense with this
stage. Then they are sent down to the
cellars, are stacked in horizonal posi-
ton, ard are left to mature for period
varying from eight to ten months to
three or even four years. The loss from
breakage, though much less than it used
to be, is still very serious The average
proportion of burst bottles is about
seven per cent, but in particular years.

Essential to a Pretty Woman.

A pretty woman must first of all have

She mnst have full, clear eyes.
She must have a skin that is above

She must have glossy hair, that has
never known the touch of bleach or dye
She must have a good figure, plump
enough, yet slender enough, though
never suggestive of an angle.
She must have white, expressive
hand, preferably small one, but not of
necessity, i it is well kept and white.
She must have small ears, and a
throat that is like marble column for
her head.
She must know how to put on her

In Menoriam.

Mrs. Mary Binzley, for many years a
faithful and Jealous worker and instructor
in the Sabbath School of Napoleon, departed
this life on the 20th day of April, 1892.
The officers and teachers of the Sabbath
School, as tribure of respect to the de-
ceased and as expression of their apprecia-
tion of her worth, and their sorrow at her
untimely death, unite in the following reso-
tions.
ResoEued, That in the death of Mrs. Mary
Binzley the Sabbath School loses one of its
most valued instructors, whose sunny
disposition left pleasant impressions upon
all with whom she was associated, and
whose future gave promise of great useful :
ness.
That she was most loving and devoted
wife and mother, a Jealous and earnest
christian, and useful member of society.
ResotUed, That we tender to the
husband and children of the deceased our
sincere sympathy and coincidence in their
great bereavement.
ResoEued, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the husband and children
of the deceased, that they be spread upon
the records of this Sabbath School and be
published in the Napoleon newspapers.

LAID AT REST.
The Remains OF Mrs. Binzley In
TERED in Forest Hill Cemetery.

The funeral of Mrs. DR.. VIM. BinzIey
was held at her late residence on School
House street, Friday afternoon. the Rever-
end NJ. L. Donahey officiating. Many were
the friends who participated in these last
sad rites Of one who was universally popular
in life and whose death was
the greatest of Rriefs: whose depar-
ture. so unexpected, again proved tne
truth Of that much used quotation, "In the
midst of life we are in DEATH"
There has, perhaps, been no death in Ma
poleon for years that has so completely
wrapped the community in sorrow; none
that has taught Us all more forcibly that
death is indeed terrible, especially when the
subtle messenger chooses for its prey one
who has so much to live for and in whose
temporal existence rests the happiness of SO
many.
Mrs. Binzley's life has been one Of much
sorrow, through which in passing she has
patiently endured more than her share of
poignant grief; yet all knew her to manifest
an inordinate degree of cheerfulness-a
means to bring up her family of three
children and clothe life for them, not all in
gloom and dispair,,
A bride of only three months, with the
shadows grown dim in the narrow aisles of
the past, with apparently only sunshine
and flowers for the future pathway of her
and hers, death seems unusually cruel in
this mission. That her memory will long
remain green to us all, that her sad fate will
never be efiaced as it now Sandstone deep
ly regretted by I'll Napoleon-we have every
reason to believe.
She was an active member of the Presby-
terian church and an earnest worker in the
Sunday school, having been the teacher of a
large class of young girls for years; also a
member of the Women's Relief Corps.
A token OF esteem in which she was held,
was manifested by the profusion, and beau
ty of the floral tributes laid at her bier by
tender hands, prompted by loving and ach-
ing hearts. Her class, teachers and superin-
tendent, Christian Endeayor Society and the
young. ladies and gentlemen of the church,
presented these memorials, the last being a
mute expression of sympathy for her daugh-
ter "who is left motherless when she most
needs a mothers guiding hand"
DR.. Binzley the bereft husband is one
of our most prominent citizens and
WITH him in this great hour of trouble is all
Napoleon with great heartfull of sympa-
thy.

Deal JustIy with the Newspapers.

Many of the newspapers are receiving
much criticism because they take no pro-
nounced stand point on the questions in-
volved in the election that will come off in
May. Such criticism is unjust. The ques-
tion at issue ID one that has two sides, it is
one on which the people to man have set
views and will brook no dictation from
newspapers or anybody else. Any amount
of argument will not tend to cripple this
fact and anyone who asks a newspaper to
wade into the controversy is inconsistent
and far sighted. This paper, the same as
others has itfriends in both waterworks and
-waterworks factions, and it is neither
policy nor right to antagonize either on a
question either side of which, in measure, is
right.
When it comes time to vote, vote for the
best interests of the town as you see it, Snd
listen to the dictation of no man.

He claims that 'fIling in" is the only way to
accomplish repairs; that in scraping them
the dirt is not given chance to wash out
and remains on the road bed ready to be
created into mud at the first rain.
