Confederate Bills Utilized by Edison.
ibid You ever, know what has become

paper money, with. which this country
was flooded some years back" asked
local business man, who had just re-
turned from a trip. to the Atlanta expo
sition., No? WelL neither did until
I struck Atlanta a few weeks ago. In]

quantity Of it still floating around. When

who pays a good price for it. Edison
uses it to max carbon for incandescent
lamps. The paper upon which the Con-
fedora te. notes were engraved was made
of the pulp Of sea-grass. This branch of
the paper making industry has since be-
come dead art. Sea grass paper, when
chemically treated by Edison, has beell
found to make the best sort of carbon
for incandescent lights, and so there is
always a demand for the Confederate

THE COUNTR Y EDITOR.

The country editor must be unceas-
ing in his efforts to secure news and
extend the circulation of his papers
and he will find that he will be the
more successful if in public matters he
voices only the sentiment Of the peo-
pie, and keeps his own opinion to him
self. In small towns, where much leal-
ousy exists and his constituency is
limited it is not safe for him to take
sides in personal matters, as can the
editors of the city papers. He should
| endeavor to give all the news AID. at
| the same time, speak as well of all per-
| sons as possible; and when it is i'm
possible to speak well OF one, it is bet
| ter to say nothing, but give the bare
| facts in the case. 1t is much better to
| make a friend than an enemy. Every
man, no matter how degraded, has
some friends; and if he offends a per
| son, the influence of that person and
| his friends will be against his paper,
! to the injury of his business. If peo-
| pie have battles to fight, let them fight
them out themselves. Every state
| ment made in the paper must be well
| weighed, and the editor should know
| that it is positively correct; but having
made statement, he should be will
ing at all times to stand by it.

MAKING AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE.
How the Festive FizZ Is Manufactured
in This COurfrv

IN 1n1S country. -
The building of A. B. & Co.. is on the
shore of the lake, and, being constructed
of huge blocks Of quarried stone, looks
like a medieval castle, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The outside gives
one little notion of the size and capacity
of the establishment. There are IA sep
arate vaults or cellars, and these extend
far under the hill. Together they are 1872
feet long and 1O5 feet wide. Stored under
ground are 1000, 900 bottles Of champagne
made by the French method-i. e., b. fer
mentation in the bottle.
You enter; the nostrils are tickled with
the odor of the wines. You see the watts
heaped full with the luscious grapes; the
two double wine presses are working and
squeezing out the life-blood of the berries;
the liquid stream is pouring into large
tanks; the men are bare-armed, their
hands and faces smeared with red stains
you see this, and can imagine Bacchus
and his merry crew holding high carni-
val.
This new wine, or must" after it de-
posits it's lees in the course of a few days,
is run into casks holding from 1000 to
1000 gallons each. Here it remains for
six or eight weeks-that is, until it has
passed through the first fermentation
Then it is racked off into other casks,
and is now ready for mixing.
The composition of the blend is of course
one of the secrets of the art. The French
wine-maker mixes the juice of black
grapes with that of white grapes in the
proportion of three to one. The American
wine-maker does about the same. He
takes Juice of the black Concord and Isa-
bella grapes and mixes it with that of the
red Catwba, Iona and Delaware grapes
The great point is to get the right amount
of sAccharine matter, so as to cause nei-
Their too much nor too little effervescence:
if too much, the bottle breaks
if too little, the wine becomes dull, fiat and
insipid. Thus the cuvee is effected. Think
of the delicacy of taste required in order
to know what the juices of many different
grapes will bring forth two years hence.
The mixture is put into casks in which it
undergoes the process of filming, and then
it is ready Cor bottling. After being bot
tied, the wine is kept in a semi-warm
room until fermentation is we'll begun.
The bottles are then carried to the deep,
cool vaults, where they are packed in five
horizontal layers. making a pile four or
five feet deep and IL or Is feet long. Thus
the bottles remain until the wine within is
fully ripe-a period of from II to IS
months.
