The Medoc Wines.

Only by journey to the very head Of
the long promontory between the Atlantic
and the Gironde can one form an idea of
the prodigious quantity of the Medoc
wines For 90 miles you are never quite
out of sight of vineyards. Here and there
they absorb the horizon on both sides.
They are strikingly different in quality
however, as has been said. A patch Of
wizened, shriveled plants, with a few
leaves and no alluring clusters, may be
seen absolutely contiguous to vineyard
full Of fine, healthy fruit. 1t is of course
an affair of cultivation and soil Like
other things, the Medoc grape responds
eagerly to loving care. You may have
plants of first class pedigree, and the soil
that suits them best, and yet fail to pro
duce distinguished wine, IL your Guilt
vators are not of as good quality as your
plants Like hops in England, the vines
are most sensitive to human attention.
One marvels little at the apparently
rude nature of the soil to the vines on
which labels with famous names are af-
fixed But the truth Is the Medoc vine
does not want TO be excessively pampered
Give IL good, rough, gravelly soil, with q
fair proportion of sand underneath, for su-
perfluous rains to vanish readily into, and
1t will be as grateful TO you as 1t we'll
knows how to be. A gravely subsoil yields
wine remarkable for delicacy, but IL there
be preponderance of stones in the sub
soil the wine will be strong rather than
delicate, appealing to the brain more than
to the palate. Chambers Journal

Everybody Honest with S.v.bov..

However dishonest some people may be

prompts them to be square with newsboys
Since the establishment Of stands on the

Of proprietors of stands elected the infor
nation that not one OF them had ever lost
a paper or missed penny by change or
otherwise since the system was established
There may be several reasons for this, but
one OF them is that the newsboy, whatever
may be his other faults, is always honest

Indian Decorations.

DR.. W. James Hoffman, in the "Begin-
ming Of Writing" shows copy of a
skin picture representing three Indian
chiefs dancing. On their treechcloths or
blankets may be seen certain simple
marks. A warrior has a horseshoe form
on bis thigh. That would mean that he
had captured a horse, and an Indian
horse IL the u shape had been like our
English capital letter u, with the two
straight marks, that would have stood
among the Mandans as indicating white
mans shod horse. A double cross would
mean exceptional bravery, and st. An
drew's cross lesser demonstration of
courage on the part of the wearer. DR..
Hoffman writes that the Indians would
never have permitted any fraudulent deco.
rations. To wear them the honors must
have been deserved. Now IL is exceedingly
curious that for acts Of courage soldiers
today wear their crosses, just as do these
Indians. The shape, Of course, amounts
to nothing, though IL Is similar, but the
motive of the decoration, whether in paint
or in diamonds mounted in gold or a red
ribbon, shows how conservative is man

Good Intentions Precipitate u Free Fight,
and Arrests Follow.
Just at the moment when Montmartre
omnibus was starting, "a practical Joker
noticed an odd looking old gentleman
clinging on to the step. Sauntering up to
another elderly worthy who was on the
point OF following, this wicked individual
whispered in his ear in confidential fash
ion: You see that gentleman. He Is my
uncle He has just got out Of an asylum,
and Is still rather weak in the upper
story. BE so kind as TO see that he alights
at St Eustache shall be SO much obliged
to you
The good man promised to discharge
this mission faithfully, and when the ON
nibus had reached St Eustache, he pulled
the old gentleman by the sleeve and said
Here we are. Now you must get out"
The person thus addressed stared at him
In amazement, and when the speech had
been repeated several times, he gave vent
to language Of uugrateful not to say rude
tenor, winding up with the exclamation
that if this was intended for a jest he did
not see the gist of IL. A mild remonstrance
met with rebuff of an even sterner ma
ture, promptly followed up by well di-
rected blow.
Evidently the old gentleman had left
the asylum too soon, thought the good
Samaritan who had undertaken to see him
safely to his destination, but smarting
from the injury that he had received he
hit out with equal vigor, and in a moment
q sparring match was taking place In the
omnibus to the CONSERVATION OF the ladies
present, who gave vent to chorus Of
shrieks. The conductor, unable TO bring
the encounter To a close, had to summon
the aid of the police, and eventually the
combatants were led with blackened eyes,
to the station
Then, after the usual examination, they
learned to their disgust that they had been
the victims of the practical joker who had
represented himself as the anxious nephew
of the odd looking old gentleman.-Galig-

ROUTED BY A LIGHTED CIGAR.
Defeat Of . Cab Driver Who Had Failed
to Run Over y Man.

to Run Over y Man.
A tall, finely set up man and a short,
stocky one walked down the east side Of
Broadway the other evening and turned
across toward the Fifth Avenue hotel.
They were about third OF the way across
when a hanson cab, furiously driven,
swung into Broadway from Twenty
street and bore down on them. The tall
man, who was ahead, jumped forward to
avoid the cab, but the driver swung sharp
ly to the left and headed straight for him.
The tall man jumped back, and again the
cabman swrved. The tall man gave one
more leap ahead and just cleared the cab.
The short man meantime had lodged back
out of harms way.
The cabman, with the peculiar makeup
of the human mind, was furiously angry
at the man he had nearly run down. He
pulled up his horse with yank, and when
tho tall man looked around he saw the
driver standing up in the box with the
long whip raised ready to strike him. The
little man saw 1t too. They had been
dining at Delmonico's, and the little man
was smoking . long, fat, black cigar.
There was fiji big fire in it. AS he saw
the cab driver Stand up To strike, the short
man took his cigar out Of his mouth and
threw it with all his might. The fire end
struck the oabman fairly in the eye. He
let fall his whip and clapped his hand to
his eye. Then he let out one terrific yell
for the police.
A great big policeman heard the yell
and came up on tho run. The oabman be-
gan tale OF woe, which was cut short by
the tall man, who explained what had
happened. Then the policeman turned to
the cabman and said:
'G'wanl Git out o here fore fan yet"
And the cabman went.-New York Sun.
