description. at least of an official
character. Although. according to the
version given in the Government
Gazette at Stuttgart, his sudden demise
was asoribed to cholera-which did not
happen to be prevalent at Dusseldorf,
where he breathed his last-it is gem

band whose honor no had betrayed, an

herself gave the Duke his "coup do

German courts and the names of the
couple, especially that of the lady. who

patronized almost exclusively by the

1t has never been pretended that
there was any premeditated attack
upon the Czarowitoh. and the blow
which he struck with his sword at the

HOW TO REMEMBER.

Il wish you would teach me how to
commit to memory the songs I want
to sing" said an amateur musician
to commit my music to memory-at
lest, have never done so-and I think
it would be of use to me if I could"
1.-THE process is not difficult one ;"
was the reply. 81 have always found
it easy to remember songs and poems
by a certain rule or method that l
adopted a long time ago. Take any
popular song. The Last Rose of
Summer. for example. 1t is a good
plan to read it over and get the senti-
ment of the verse, which comprehends
the idea of loneliness, the fading
away of beautiful things and the lack
of sympathy in sadness. The rose is
blooming alone. Its companions are
faded and gone. No flower or kindred
is nigh to share its pleasures or answer
to its sighs. This is the groundwork
the skeleton, so to speak-of the
verse. Impress this firmly on the
mind, and familiarize the thought
with the sentiment. Imagine the gar
den with the one rose and faded leaves
all around. Once this is fixed in the
memory it is omparatively easy to fill
in the remainder of the words. This
is one of the simplest and surest ways
of committing the words of song to
memory.
with most people memorizing the
air of the song is much easier, and this
is done by humming again and again.
referring to the music whenever there
is any question. 1t is important to
learn an air correctly at flrst. for
when mistake is made at the outset
one is almost certain to blunder at the
same place ever afterward. New

of all he gets easily. The biggest

about ten years ago, when he struck $50
worth.
Lion" has occasional windfalls of
other kinds, however. He carries a
Colts revolver ON one hip. and every
now and then he runs across some
fresh meat, ranging up from par
fridge to bear. He has made two
particular good hauls of bears with his
little gun, one time getting four and the
other time three at once. He is in the
what bears he runs across in drowsy
state in their dens. The four he found
in January were oooped up under
ledge-two old ones and two 3-year-
olds. The ledge slanted up. and when
he had dug out under it he fired in
right into the face of the bears, and
each considerably rolled out, leaving
the next one in full view. Three were
disposed of in this way with three
chambers, but the fourth crawled out
and made Bishop use two cartridges
before he killed him. The group of
three were tracked into their den in
early winter and disposed of in much
the same way. Mr.. Bishop says
modestly he is quite good shot with
a revolver. He has killed nine bears
with it and trapped eight. making
quite good thing out of bears alto

in the woods-occasionally lynx, and
one time panther occupied herself
several hours stalking him. He final,

But then even Searsburg "gummer's"
life can't be one round of unalloyed
pleasure. Perhaps that panther will

or he will fall off a spruce tree and be
missing until the snow melts off in the
spring. Then by his hair they will
know him.

CLARET OUT OF FASHION.

Claret drinkers will find some ground
for disappointment in the report of our
Consul, Mr.. Ward. on wine growing
in the great consular district Of Bor-
deaux, which embraces many depart
ments, besides the all-important Gil
ronde. and extends from the Bay Of
Biscay to the Upper Pyrenees.
While the prospects of the wine cul-
tivation have been improving it is a
curious fact that the habit Of drinking
claret has for some years past been
steadily declining among us. When
the wine duties were modified by Mr..
Gladstone's financial reforms in favor
of the less Intoxicating varieties people
were reminded of the old days before
the Methuen treaty brought in the
strong wines Of Spain and Portugal
the days when most country gentle
men had good cellars of Bordeaux, and
the arrival of vessel from the Gil
ronde in the port Of Edinburgh was
followed by the hawking Of olaret in
the wood in the public streets of that
city.
It seems. however. that those days
are never to return. Fiery port and
sherry have no doubt given way to a
large extent to the lighter wines; but.
on the other hand. the shipments from
Bordeaux to the United Kingdom are
growing from year to year less and
less. Last year they showed, as CON-
pared with the year before. a falling
off of nearly 100000 gallons-a fact
the more remarkable because the ship.
ments to other claret-drinking ooun'
tries exhibited more or less consider
able increase. Mr.. Ward attributed
the falling away in the case of Great
Britain in part to the increased COD
sumption of whiskey and water-ar
explanation which is not reassurint
for the friends of temperance. Doubt
less, however. he is right in ascribint
it also to the depression in agriculture
industry and commerce. which ha
diminished the purchasing power o

OUR WINE AND FRUIT.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued bulletin on the subject of the
worlds markets for American products.
The present issue deals simply with
Great Britain and Ireland. American
Consul Meeker at Bradford, England,
says that the barley received there
from the United States comes mainly
from California. California fruits are
in great demand. He notes the fact
that the finest California pears are sold
at 12 cents each. As to California
wines he says that one of the local
dealers has been making experiments
with imporations
This merchant passed the following
friendly criticism upon the California
product "What this wine needs is
finesse. In other words, greater care
is required in all stages of manipula-
tion, from the period of gathering the
grapes to the bottling of the wine for
consumption. Perfect cleanliness must
be the rule absolute throughout. The
greatest care must be observed in pick
ing grapes of average ripeness. 1t
must be seen to that the fermentation
is full and complete, that the rackings
are carefully looked after, and that all
germ life which might cause fermenta-
tion is kept out. Any connoisseur will
notice that these wines are not in
proper condition. A wine of the claret
or Burgundy type which is not per-
fectly clear when bottled will probably
for many months, or perhaps weeks,
show further precipitate from which
fermentation may set up. II, how
ever, the first fermentation is complete
and the wine is properly made and
we'll racked, clear of lees, there can be
no further precipitation that will affect
the wine harmfully.
"With the magnificent climate OF
California and the superior fruit OF
that State there is no reason why there
should not be produced wine equal
to that of any other country. But hay
ing to compete with wine produced
under the concentrated experience of
generations of wine-growers and Guilt
vators, educated latterly in the latest
scientific reseaches, your wine-pro-
ducers will have to give much better
results than we have yet seen on this
side to gain any standing with the
wine consumers of the world"
Consul Campbell. at Newcastle-on-
Tyne, says that great variety OF
canned fruits, chiefly from California,
are sold there, and considered superior
to all others. California wines are
handled by all the large wine mer-
chants there, and are steadily growing
in favor.
Consul Heard, at Newport, Mon
mouthshire. says that the red wines Of
California have become very popular a.
that point, and Consul Rodger at Lon
donderry says that very large quaint
ties of California canned fruit are sem
to brokers in Glasgow, Liverpool and
other large centers, and by them dis
tributed all over the country. The,
are much used for making dishes ant
confections where fruit is required.
