the hedgling lleutenants from their hith-
ertO well-guarded nest but it also brings
socially to light the erst Undeveloped re-
sources Of the plebe or lower class.
Throughout the first year at West
Point regulations and customs do every
thing to suppress the eXuberance which
freshmen at other colleges feel and the
plebe is taught to consider himself so
small in every way as to be totally unfit
to shine in society till the training of his
first year has Kicked him into shape"
And in the long run, this view is about
correct.
If a maiden comes to West Point with
out friends at the academy she can have
her hop card made out just the same by
sending her name to the hop managers.
They Will provide partners for her and in
troduce them at the proper time. And
this is another of those anomalies to
which West Point etiquette gives rise,
The hops are held at the mess hall, and
between each dance the walks in the
vicinity are filled with cadets and their
partners, cooling off and enjoying the
moonlight, if there be any; If not, they en-
JOY the darkness equally.

other day, to the mover whom he had
summoned this bedroom set is sold,

it out Of the salesroom at once and store
it somewhere till want it,"
What's the use of moving il till you
send it up to me?" asked the purchaser,
idly. why don't you leave it where it

The salesman uttered a queer little laugh
and said:
1T is evident that you were never in
the furniture business, or you would
not ask that question If l should mark
that set sold and leave it here in the
salesroom in plain sight it would prob
ably lose US several good sales"
How SOP" asked the purchaser with an
unbeleVing look.
1T illustrates a universal weakness of
human nature" laughed the salesman.
Everybody wants what he can't get

to the average buyer as a piece of fur
nlture that somebody else has bought

Many are the complications arising from

Black silks and satins are again among

Little satin capes are much favored, and

Black chiffon or mousseline de sole and

beautifully.
Printed satins, chene silks and taffetas
of all sorts are popular for the fancy waists
that everybody wears.

The European Wine Industry.

According to estimates recently pub
hshed, France cultivates about 4, $50, 900
acres of vines, Italy s. COO, 900 acres Spain
$780, 600 acres and other European coun-
tries perhaps 5000, 600 acres The largest
producers of wine are Italy, Spain and
France Twenty years ago France led all
other countries, and in 1874 her vintage
was !, 800, 600, 900 gallons. But the disease
known as phylloxera attacked the vine
yards to such an extent that the enormous
output of 1874 has never been duplicated,
although, thanks to the re-establishment
of many vineyards by grating upon tic
roots of the American wild grape last year
the vintage rose to l, 125, 600, 600 gallons
a quantity 81 times greater than the vim
tage of the United States in any single
wear.
