THE "DELIeHTFUL POISON"
Peculiar Manner In Which Winemal1ing
In Persia Originated.


In Persia Originated.
'In the Kingdom of the Shah, " by DR..
Treacher Collins, the author tells of the
origin of winemaking in Persia. 1t was
during the reign of King Jamsheed that
the vineyards of Shiraz, as today, were
noted for the speculative quality of the
grapes they produced on account OF the
variations of temperature-the intense
cold of winter and extreme heat OF sum-
mer-to which they were subjected
King Jamsheed was exceedingly fond
of Shiraz grapes, and in order to enjoy
them throughout the year conceived the
idea of preserving them in a jar. Fer
mentation, of course, took place, and
when the jar was opened and found to
contain a quantity of acid liquid it was
looked upon as poison by the king He
placed it in bottles and labeled 1t as
such. On q certain occasion one OF his
female favorites, who was sorely affi1ct-
ed with nervous headache, discovered
the bottles marked poison" and swal-
lowed the contents of one in the hope OF
putting an end to her life. The effect,
however, was to throw her into a deep
sleep, from which she awoke much be-
freshed. The result was 50 delightful
that she frequently repeated the dose I'M
til all the supposed poison was con-
sumed.
The king, who missed the bottles,
caused inquiry to be made, and the Sc
cret of their disappearance was revealed.
This led to the manufacture of wine
from Shiraz grapes, which to this day IS
known as Zeher-e- Khoosh. or the de-
IiRhtful poison. The laws OF the Koran
against the use of spirituous liquors are
generally very rigidly observed, partlcu-
larly among the poorer classes. DIR. Col
Inns says that he never saw an lntoxlcat-
ed Mohammedan, even among the cha
yadars, men who do the most laborlous
work. Unlike their western prototypes,
who cannot exist without beer or spirits,
they refresh themselves only with suck
at hubble bubble pipe or cup OF very
strong, sweet, hot tea in either the
sweltering heat of summer or the IN
tense cold of winter. Tipping in Persia
ia confined exclusively to the richer
classes and INDUCED i'll only in the Sc
clusion of the anderan. The Perslans
make two sorts of wine, red and
white. The latter contains an excess OF
alcohol and is in greater favor with
those who indulge i'll secret drinking.
Arrack, a crude, fiery spirit, is likewise
distilled 1t is probable that when
Persia has railroads and the vineyards
of Shiraz become accessible, the superior
quality of the grapes for winemaking
will attract the attention of western
manufacturers.

PluckiDr Fowls.

Plucking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished in this way: As
soon as the bird is dead immerse it i'll a
pail of very hot water, the water to COW
er all the feathers. One minute is usu-
ally long enough to keep the f4wl under
hot water. Too long soaking Is liable to
discolor the skin. After this bot bath
the feathers are so loosened that they
can be almost rubbed off. The bird is
then rinsed in cold water and wiped
with soft CLOTH 1t should then be put
into cotton bag kept for this purpose
and hung in cool place. When fowls
are not to be used at once, they should
always he loosely rolled i'll cloth or pa
per to keep them from turning dark.
Ducks cannot be managed in this way,
as their feathers contain so much oil
that the water does not penetrate them.

A Fishernan's, story.


About ten years ago--yes, just ten
years--I pulled a bass out of the water
that looked TO weigh about a pound,
and the line broke at q distance of about
foot from the hook, said the fisher-
man.
"And then, about five years after
ward" another hastened to interrupt.
''you caught him again, with the hook
aud line still in his mouth. and the fish
had grown to weigh ten pounds
The fisherman looked panied at this
ruthless capture Of his best story and
answered !: mo, sir. He weighed less
than two ounces. His vitality had all
been consumed by the line, which had
grown to 80 feet az inches at clothes'
line. ''--Indianapolis Journal.

Threatened Fashions that Emancipated

By Special Arrangement with the n. Y. Sum-
The fashions in gowns just at pres
ent are decidedly pretty, and modera-
ton, except In expense, rules the day,
but the diminishing sleeves and skirts
make the future in fashion seem
rather uncertain, and the prospect of
finding handsome gown all out of
style in two or three months is not
pleasant for any one but the dressma-
kers. But all changes are brought
about so gradually now that we need
not anticipate any sudden differences
in style. The great variety of really
fashionable materials, and all the per-
misslble combinations help to simplify
the dress problem in many ways, since
cheap fabrics can be made up into at.
tractive and fashionable gowns.

Draped skirts and bustles, their
usual accompaniment, have been
threatened before during the last few
years, but without success, since wo-
men would not discard the plain,
graceful, gored skirt in their favor;
and nothing can be more eloquently
Indicative of complete emancipation of
women than this strength of mind to
repudiate n fashion which the author
tiles declare. Blindly following the
extremes in fashion Is not the secret
OF success In dress in these days; so
we can hope that the overdress, with
Its atrocious hustle, may be buried
once more. never to appear again.
Yet, with all the variety in skirt
trimmings, the plain skirt for street
wear takes the lead. SILK and wool
mixed moir6s are quite as popular rs
any other dress material, and are es-
pecially pretty for the untrlmmed
skirts. The bodice may have all the
decoration you fancy. Black gowns
of this material are very stylish, and
the skirts with short black velvet coats
are decidedly pretty for the street.
