Money In Dreams.

Here is a strange, true tale" with
the scene in Georgia near the flourish
ing town of Covington. A few years ago
negro woman living near Covington
lost a son by death. A week or SO ago
the woman had a dream, in which the
son appeared to her and told her that if
she would go to certain corner of the
house and dig she would find fiat
rock, underneath which she would find
a lot of silver money. The woman
awoke and was SO much wrought uE
over the vision that she aroused some of
the family and went at once to the des-
ignated spot and began to dig. Soon
the flat rock was reached and removed
with trembling hands and high expecta-
ton. 4 small box was revealed. This
was taken out and opened, and to the
wonder and astonishment of all present
it contained 80 silver dollars. Atlanta

FACTS ABOUT CHAMPAGNE
sweet and Dry Wine and That Which
Comes In Magnums


It is commonly said in this countrv
that the best French champagnes are
sent to Russia and the United States.
It is said in Eng land, however, that the
best French Champagnes are sent to Rus
STA and Great Britain and that the best
cannot stand the voyage to America
Wherever the truth rests, it is pretty
we'll known that the champagnes con-
sumed in France itself are not what
Americans esteem the best The French
like sweet champagne, and what is there
called dry wine would be esteemed
here a sweet wine. The driest cham
pagnes are made almost exclusively for
export.
There are some odd superstitions
touching champagne that have no real
foundation. 1t is occasionally affirmed
that great deal of so called champagne
is made of gooseberries.
''My dear boy" said famous cham
payne grower to a young Englishman
visiting him, "that story about cham
payne made from gooseberries is absurd,
for the reason that it is much cheaper
to make it from grapes than from goose
berries. Perhaps if it were not we
might-well, I'll not say what we
might do. -
There is popular belief that mag
mum of champagne is big bottle of the
very finest wine produced, and magnums
are always named in the accounts that
come from luxurious banquets. AS mat
ter of fact a magnum is likely to contain
a comparatively inferior wine of it's
brand and for an excellent reason.
Sparkling champagne is distinguished
from still wine by the fact of being ma
tured in the bottle. But, unhappily, it
is difficult to make bottle larger than
a quart that will be strong enough at
all points to resist the force of the gases
generated i'll the process of maturing.
Even the champagne bottled in quarts is
lost in considerable quantities by the
breaking of the bottles during the proc
esS of fermentation. So the magnum of
champagne is filled from small bottles
after the process of fermentation is COM
plete, and from that fact the wine thus
bottled is less likely to be the best of its
brand than that bottled in quarts.
When a large London wine dealer
was giving great dinner, feature of
the table decoration was an enormous
bottle of champagne wreathed with
flowers. 1t had been especially prepared
III France and was said to be the largest
bottle of champagne ever imported into
Great Britain. The bottle was greatly
admired by the guests, number Of
champagne buyers, but disaster follow
ed, for the bottle was too weak for the
wine, and in the midst of the meal,
doubtless owing to a RIG in tempera-
ture, broke, and the table was suddenly
flooded with frothing champagne.
1t is noteworthy, however, on the
other hand, that champagne in quarts
is likely TO Ne better i'll quality than
champagne in pints, because the Wine
natures better i'll the larger bottle. OF
course the difference is not noticeable
by the ordinary consumer, not blessed,
or cursed, with a delicately sensitive
palate.-New York Sun.

ST. PAUL, MINI March 26.--The
biennial convention of the state league
of republican clubs opened, to-day, at
the capitol with an immense attendance.
.iohn Goodnow, of Minneapolis, The
well known base ball backer, presided.
1t was the talk, this morning, that at
the instIgation OF President Goodnow,
resolutions endorsing Mckinley would
be submitted, but the president of the
organization declared that any sngges-
tion that he was using his position in
the. league to boom any individual was
unqualifiedly false.
HURON, S. d March 25.-The South
Dakota republican convention to se-
iect delegates to the national conven-
ton was called to order at noon to-day
with 621 delegates in attendance. The
Allison and Mckinley strength is about
evenly divided and as consequence
any attempt to instruct the delegates
will plunge the convention into bitter
contest for the mastery. The delegates
will probably go uninstructed. The
Indications are that Senator Pettigrew
will be chosen this afternoon to head
the delegation to st. Louis, he making
a fight against the single-standard
platform.
