~ Qualities That Mark High Class Wines
S Effect Of Age-In the Chalk
x Cliff Caves

& Champagne-nectar of the gods is the
{Avor1te wine Of the hour. How long its
popularity will last none can tell there
being q fashion in wine drinking. and
the admired of today becomes the ne
glected of tomorrow. The life history of
all popular wines tell this tale.
The reason why one wine after another
falls into disrepute Is that the supply of
every vintage. being limited, no sooner
does wine become popular than the de-
mand for 1t exceeds the supply. Wine
merchants adopt the disingenuous prac-
ttce of eQualizing supply and demand by
the addition of more readily obtainable
wines, usually of inferior quality.
The effervescence of the wine is due to
its being bottled and corked up before
&ermentation has entirely ceased. And
AL forms OF vinous fermentation are due
to the splitting up, by minute micro-or-
ganisms, of the sugar contained in grape
Juice into alcohol and carbonic acid gas.
The gas, after the bottle has been
corked. finding no means of escape, re-
mains suspended in the wine until the
cork Is withdrawn, when it instantly
rushes in bubbles to the surface, and in
escaping from it causes the wine to ef
fervesce and sparkle.
There is no such thing as natural
sparkling wine; consequently cham
pagne is a manufactured article, in the
sense that it is brought into existence
by the skill of the viticulturist. The
process Is a complicated one. 1t consists
of three distinct stages, the first being
merely the making of a still wine. This
step differs in no essential particular
from that followed in the making of any
other still wine-be it port, sherry or
claret; that Is to say, it consists in the
fermentation of expressed grape juice
in open tubs, at a temperature ranging
between go and 70 degrees Fahrenheit,
and. from the tubs being open. the car
bonic acid gas generated escapes into
the air as a waste product, the alcohol
only being retained in the still.
The second stage is the conversion Of
the still liquid into sparkling wine.
This is accomplished by withdrawing it
from the tubs into bottles, and tightly
corking them so that none of the gas
generated during the subsequent fer
mentation can escape.
In this stage there is, however, another
object held in view. For while up until
wanted, during the secondary fermenta-
ton the delectable aromas and f1avors
upon which the commercial value of the
wine mainly depends are sought to be
developed So the fermentation is no
longer rapid one at high tempera-
ture, but slow one at the low tempera-
ture of 43 degrees Fahrenheit. And the
fermentation Is not, as in the first in
stance, kept up for merely few weeks,
but for months, or even years, according
to the quality of the vintage and the
price the wine is ultimately expected to
bring.
So great is the influence of soil and
sunshine on wines yielded by the same

A BATH FOR EVERY ILL
The Salt Rub In the Morning - A Violet

The Salt Rub In the Morning A Violet
ponge-Beautifying Benzoin
Society women In New York have late
ly evinced an unusual fondness for bath
Ing.
They have a different bath as pana-
cea for almost every ill-when they are
overwrought and tired, they bathe to
soothe the nerves. They have another
bath, which acts as an invigoratlng tom
ic, q bath to make them thin, bath to
make them fat, and then the best bath
of all. the one whose sole purpose is to
beautify.
For morning tonic there is no bath
equal to a salt rub. After the body has
been bathed with tepid water it should
be briskly rubbed all over with salt, and
this should be followed by a shower of
cold water. This salt rub will be found
much more beneficial than if just hand
full of salt is put in a tub of water and the
bath taken in that manner.
After busy and fatiguing day a vio-
let sponge will be found most refreshing.
If time will allow, it should be preceded
by a commonplace tub bath. Then.
after all the pores are opened, a sponge
dipped in violet water. or any reliable
cologne water, should be passed quickly
over the body. AS a result of this bath a
delicate fragrance will cling to the skin
and a sense of cleanliness Is assured. In
tneSe Gays IN every well regulated bath
room little cabinet is found which holds
bran and almond meal bags. These bags
are the successors of the plebeian wash
cloths. They are made of white cheese
cloth. and there cleansing properties are
unequaled. AT prominent Broadway
drug store these bags, combined with
different perfumes, may be bought.
The bags are small, and one is sufficient
only for one bath. They vary in price.

Any Blows Were Struck.

left in possession of the church, and they put
new locks or. al. the doors and went homo. They
put another set of locks on the church yesterday.
The trouble in the church began in 1895. The
parishioners opposed to the pastor said that
under his nineteen years OF labor the church
had deteriora.ed. instead of being built up. and
that he should resign and let q younger man
take his place. He had Q great many friends in
the church who were opposed to hts resigninG.
and acting on their advice he hold on. All
sorts Of efforts have been made to Dust him.
including an appeal to the synod. which appeal.
his opponents say. was sustained. He still did
not give up and the matter got into the Supreme
Court, not on the question Of his resigning., but
on the question of ousting the. Board of Irus-
tees. Justice Dykeman issued an order that n
new election for trustees be held. 1t was ut
