Wine In Bottles.

The increase of the strength Of wine
by keeping depends upon whether it is
kept in cask or bottle. If stored in cask;;
there is constant increase of alcohol.
The ancients knew that wine improved
if kept in leathern bottles, and the same
result is obtained by keeping it in wood
en- vessels, for both leather and wood
are more easily penetrated by water than
by alcohol Evaporation ensues from
both, but more freely from water, and
the wine consequently becomes richer
in alcohol On the other hand, the opin-
ion that wine has grown old in bottles
and therefore become stronger is thor
oughly false. Evaporation is very much
hindered by the cork, even when this is
not covered with rosin and sealing wax.
The simple explanation of our finding
old bottled wine rich in alcohol is that
only the stronger wines can be preserv-
ed and the weaker ones cannot resist
the effects of time At the same time,
although all wine must eventually be
spoiled and weakened by keeping it in
bottles, yet some kinds acquire, as a
first consequence Of that cause which
afterward destroys them, and which is
neither more DOR less than the chemical
alteration in their constituents, proper
ties which render them more agreeable
both to smell and taste. Ea-

Keen Accounts.

Keeping household accounts is an af-
fair, if not of necessity, still Of the great
est wisdom. In comparison with the
small amount Of time and labor which
the doing SO employs, the satisfaction
of knowing, at the end Of each year,
how the family funds have gone is the
amplest compensation. One especial sat-
isfaction gained from the keeping of
household accounts is the ability, when
or if the necessity arises, to reduce ex-
penditures on the outlay for Injuries
and unnecessaries. The money spent for
food, for medicines OF for fuel is capa-
BILE of far less reduction than that used
for amusements, for wages Or for cloth
ing, and a system of accounts which
will show at once where expenses can
be lessened is entitled to respectful con-
sideration. -Philadelphia Times

Uniforms to Scare the Enemy,

According to the report prepared by
the war department., red uniforms were
first adapted by the Emperor Valerius
Maximus in order that the Roman sol.
diers might not be frightened by the
sight of their own blood. To this day
the children of England are told that
this is the reason why French troops
wear red trousers, and French children
are Taught the same notion respecting
the red coats of the British. The legion
aries of ancient Rome wore the skins of
bears on the field Of battle to make them
look fierce For the same reason they
put figures of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd GUS
tom springs modern erests and armorial
bearings The idea of soaring the enemy
by such devices has been perpetuated up
to quite recent times. Tall bearskin
hats were originally adopted to make
them look taller by the French cuiras:
siers, each of whom carried handful
of grenades for scattering among the
ranks of their foe.-Troy Times.

ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

The sun rose over the field of wheat
And warmed the breath of an early spring
The smiling flowers made the morning sweet
And there were caroling birds to sing,
And by the brook were children at play,
Planning their childish games for the day.
But the sun sank over field of red,
Leaving no wheat nor farmhouse there,
Only the CHASTITY lines of the dead
And blackness and ruin everywhere,
And along the brook, instead of play.
Were the silent forms Of blue and gray.

Sun Spots.

It has been observed that after the
sun spots have been at minimum the
summers are hotter, just as though there
was more heat coming from the sun at
such periods, and the fact has been ae=
counted for by supposing that sun spots
are caused by vast clouds Of matter
erupted from the sun and condensed in
the surrounding space. These act as
screens and prevent the suns heat from
radiating freely through them. From
an examination of statistics A. B,
Mcdowell, M. A., has found that III
England during the hot summers, fol
lowing the minima of sun spots, the
north of August is hotter than July,
