GIVEN UP TO THE USE OF WINE.
An Industry and Custom That Ultimately

According to Rev. DR.. Charles 0.
Brown, of San Francisco, of the 200, 900
acres of California vineyards. nearly
one-half 100000 are devoted to wine
production. These vineyards represent
a capital of over 500, 900, 900. The aver
age yearly production of wine is 25,-
100000 gallons. OF this amount, a., =
100000 gallons are shipped out of the
state, leaving 1000, 200 to be con-
sumed there by "a population of l. 500 :

approving the use of table wine. No
entertainment of high, social order"
is complete without its array of bottles
and glasses. Any opposing sentiment
is so much in the minority as to De

most profusely placarded being Cali

CALiSAYA INEBRIATES.
Ierrlbie Evils Being Wrought by Tn
Substitute for Whisky.


'CaIisaya drunkards are rapidly in
creasing in numbers, said a Yew York
druggist. Very few men who drink
TINS lnsldious mixture know what it is
made OF, and consequently they drink
1t with recllleSsuesS which is almost
suicidal. There is large number of
men in New York who have drunk
alcohol in its various forms for many
years, and who, either from fear of its
ultimate effect or from desire for a
change, resort to drinks the nature of
the effects of which they know moth
ing.
This drink, called calisaya, which
Is so extensively retailed in drug stores,
really has very little calisaya in it.
he basis of the drink is alcohol and
qulnlne. When drunk in a rational
manner the mixture is a omparative-
Iy harmless tonic, but when INDUCED
IN to excess 1t is much more harmful
than alcohol alone, as it combines the
deleterious effects OF an overdose of
quinine as we'll
The unfortunate victims of the cal
lsaya habit ignorantly think that in
calisaya they have found a drink which
has the stimulating effects of whisky
without any of its physical penalties,
when the fact is that they are prac-
tlcaily only adding the spur of euinine
to their whisky, which is thinly dis
guised by calisaya. A man with a cal
lsaya jag is sincerely to be pitied He
is just little short of being a raving
maniac. His ears ring like an anvil
from the effects of the quinine, while
his blood riots through his veins like a

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The oldest known piece of wood is
formed into the statue of an Egyptian
sheik. The statue is evidently like
ness; the eyes are of crystal, the ex-
preston of the face bold and COM
handing. The man whom it repre-
sents has been dead for 5000 years,
and yet the wood of the statue is as
perfect to-day as when turned from
the workshop of the carver.
The olive, oak, laurel, myrtle,
rosemary, cypress, amarinth and pars-
ley are all funereal plants among the
Greeks and Romans. TO be in need
of parsley was Greek euphemism in
dicating the death of the person so de-
scribed An Atheaian army once
marching against the Lacedemo-
mans was stampeded on its way out
of tie city by meeting two mules laden
with parsley, the omen being that the
whole army would soon be in need of
that article.
The holly in Germany is called
Christdorn, or Christs thorn, the le-
gend being that it was of this plant
that the crown of thorns was made: in
France the honor is assigned to the
hawthorn, which is there called the
noble thorn; in Spain the legend as
signs the honor To the bramble; an old
Scotch legend makes the crown to con-
sist of thistle blades; while in the folk
lore of England the climbing rose is
said to have been the plant selected by
the prosecutors.
A star, says Sir Robert S. Bell, is
a mass of matter heated to such an ex-
tent that its etfulgence is perceived far
and wide. But this heated condition
IS exceptional, and though it doubtless
lasts millions of years the tempera-
ture must finally sink to that of space,
where it will remain through all eter-
nifty unless again kindled by accident
into temporary luminosity. The nor
NAL and ordinary state of all the mat
ter of space is cold and non-luminous
and therefore invisible to us.

a special from Connellsville, Pa, to
the Pittsburg Post says: Interest in
the building of the Wheeling and Con
nellsville railroad has been consider
ably enlivened in this county by the
action OF the Wheeling Chamber of
Commerce in advocating it so strongly.
The completion Of this line would boom
tie coke region as well as every sec
ton OF country through which it would
pass. The road could be built and
equipped for $3,0OO,OOO This would be
at the rate OF about $4,000 per mile.
The business men OF Wheeling are
thoroughly awake to their interests in
the matter, and have expressed their
willingness to subscribe 100000 worth
of stock in the road. The same amount
could be raised in Fayette, Greene and
Washington counties.
The Wheeling and Connellsville,
also known as the Ohio and Baltimore
Short Line railroad, is completed eight
miles out of here from point on the
main line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad one mile above Gibson station.
BY its completion through Wheeling
the coke operators of this region would
obtain an outlet which they have long
wished for. With the present ship
ping facilities they are aware Of the
fact that the West Virginia and all
southern coax makers can compete
successfully against them. Ten years
hence this competition would be so
strong that it would completely shut
them out of those markets, If the
southern operators keep up their pres
emit giant strides in coke making, I'M
less the handicap in shipping is re-
moved. The construction of the Wheel
