large percentage of the grapes which
 grow in the Tokay district burst
 open and dry up when they
 ripen. These dried berries are picked off the vines one by one. The grapes
 which do not burst open are picked and kept by themselves, and when slight pressure is applied to them the best quality of the juice is detained. This product is | called ausbruch in the German language. At this stage of the operation the dried berries are thrown into the ausbruch and allowed to macerate. The berries are then heaped in an elevated position usual ly facing the sun. The juice which runs spontaneously from the heap of resosked dried berries constitutes the highest grade of Tokay essence wine and when known to
 be bottled fifty years sells for twenty dol
 lars per pint.
 A strip of country about seventy miles
 long and six miles in width and stretching | along the banks of the river Douro in
 Portugal produces the highest grade port wines in the world. The section of coun- try referred to is called the Alto Douro. There are many millions of gallons of port
 wine produced in Portugal outside of the Alto-Douro valley. The shipments of port wine annually from the ports of Oporto and Villa Nova amount to about 85,O00 pipes (pipe, 115 gallons).
 Recently banking house in Lisbon
 purchased in the Douro valley 17,400 pipes of port wine. This is the largest transaction in wines which has ever taken place in the world. In the last week of
 this month there will be 1000 pipes of this lot of wine put up at auction in Lon don. Persons who know that there is no pure port wine to be had are cautioned not to read this statement.
 Spain is one of the oldest vinioultural countries in the world. There are sections of Spain where the people adhere to their primitive ways of living. In those sec- tions pigskins are used in lieu of barrels as receptacles for wines. Before railroads were built in Spain it used to cost nearly four times the value of young wine to cart
 it from the interior to the commercial
 towns of Cadiz, Jerez and Port St. Mary.
 The Spanish wines which are best known
 to the world are the product of grapes
 grown in the district of Oadiz in the Anda-
 Iusian province of Seyilla and 90 under the

Unity Is Sufficient.
fNorfolk Landmark

The State convention did the best it
could under the circumstances. At oil
events it broke up in good humor and har-
mony. The resolutions it passed could
not very we'll be divided. and it is fair TO
presume they suit both sides. There is no
wisdom now in saying that this side or that
side controlled the convention, and gave
way from magnanimity and for the sake OF
sweet peace and harmony.
The truth is that the factions were so
evenly divided in the State body that the
preponderance of either was mere specu-
iation. and to that IS due as well as to the
patriotic efforts of many wise leaders the
happy arrangement by which unity wa.
preserved through an equal division of
delegates. We see nothing for any friend
of either candidate to deplore or boast of.
Honors are easy. and the very best thing
TO DO nov is TO accept cordially the out
come and forget that any family differences
existed. The fortunate feature of the
whole business is the unbroken trout OF
the party.

John STROBE Harbour.

The press and many prominent people IN
and out OF Virginia have borne eloquent
testimony to the life and public services
of the late John s. Barbour. United States
senator from Virginia.
These notices, as was proper. related
mainly to the public career. which has been
known and read Of all men with profound
admiration. Mine the sadder task to por-
tray his character and personality as
he was known TO his friends. No man
had more friends than he. and 1t is one
pledge Of his worth that. almost without
exception. once to be his friend was to be
his friend always.
His political career began almost with
his manhood, aud his fret triumph was to

for an article that was TO mold public thought

significance Of the name the devil had pro-
nonnced but his use of it was wholly un-
familiar, and ! glanced from the window
with cons derable curiosity, not exactly eX-
pecting to hear that beautiful old Oriental
loye-song floating upon the air of the village
street, but divided in my mind as to whether
the Song OF Solomon might be Band of
Hope or brand of cigarettes.
What / saw did not bring much enlight-
eminent to my brain. Only white haired,
stoop-shouldered old c0lored man was in
sight. He paused moment in the shade of
the tall trees that stood In front Of the tiny
Office and critically surveyed the modest
sign that conveyed TO the outside world the
information that the Tilmipas Clarion was
published there. and job printing of every
description done at reasonable rates.
After an apparently satisfactory contem-
plation of the sign he moved on, and pres
emily heard the humping of his cane on
the floor of the outside office, and in an
other moment he stood in the sanctum

There Is very little of any note to chron-

members Of clubs which compose the Pa

Ia the country, and very little attention
VIII be devoted to either outdoor or indoor
pastimes until after the holidays.

Clubs gymnasts and all-rolnd men, is
having gala time in Mendocino County.
A letter from well-known athlete states
that there IS not now a wild black berry
within mile of Kolb's camping grounds.
EDDIE is great lover of berries and had it
not been for the many thorns which sur
round the blackberry patches bordering the
Guailala River, il is doubtful if the wan
derlng director of the Olympic Club would
return TO this city until the berry season
was at an end.

Charles F. Lummis pen appears to be
equally pleasing and potent either in stories
for children or food for geographers and
scientists. Another curions feature of his
pen which has a scientific trend is its pro-
pensity for humor-Life, Judge and Puck
give it frequent Illustration.
Charles Fletcher Lummis was born at
Lynn, Mass. March l, 1859, son of Henry
LummiS, DID,, MOVE OF Lawrence UniYer-
sity, Appleton. Wis. He was educated at
home and at Harvard, 81. but left that in
stitution with brain fever three DAYS before
graduation. His first literary work was
sent out in 1878, tiny volume Of birch
bark poems, the binding being done by the
author. The following year a second vol
ume was Issued and kindly received.
In the spring of 1882 young Lummis went
to ChlllicOthe, Ohio, and there did editorial
and everything else on the Sciot0 Gazette,
the oldest paper west OF PiitSburg, founded
by the grandfather of \. 2. Wilt. In Sep
TENDER, 1884, the restless young writer
started from Cincinnati and walked to Los
Angeles by eircultOus routes TO take in every
thing of interest, 3507 miles, 141 days. Got
to Los Angeles in February 1885. and became
city editor Of the Times. The next year he
went out as war correspondent OF that
paper 10 the Apache campaign, but was
called back by the reorganization Of the
paper and bought in. Worked hard in up
building what is now one OF the 'bes. news
paper properties on the coast. Up TO this
time MIR. Lummis had perfect health and
strength. aud thought them endless till

Jan g. 'SS, "and left my left arm helpless
three years and seven months" He mad
become fascinated with New Mexico In
walking through it. and came back to the
Indian village of Gleta to Teeuperate. He
writes in nonchalant style And not being
really made for a canary anyhow, found
life outside too good to 60 back TO the cage,
even when my wing was healed. Got useful
with one hand, did no end of hunting, eXplor-
ing, made thousands Of photos. broke my
own br0ncos, etc. Had two more shocks,
the last of which, in June. 50, left me un-
able TO stand or speak. BY staying out
