Frankfort, KY, April S-lhe
clerks iii the corporation department

that if the increasing number of in

prises is an evidence, prosperity is

most double the corresponding period
heretofore, and the number seems to be

Wives who Knew a Thing or two

Jackson, Mich :, April -Four Adj
olson married men fixed up story
about being called to Moscow on bust
ness. One of the mems wives hap
pened to know there was masquer-
ade ball last night at Moscow.
She didn't do thing but hire a
livery rig and have the bill charged to
her husband. Then she drove around
and told the other three deluded
women what she suspected. They got
into other garments at once, drove to
the ill-fated town purchased masks,
and went to the ball and danced all
night. When the unmasking time
came this morning each one had her
own true and loving husband by the
arm. Then the husbands begged of,
promising never to 60 to sea again,
and no divorces will follow If they
keep their promises.-Chicago Daily

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
a quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in the
country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect

A New Enterprise

Capt. j Sid Pitman, of near Farm
ers, was here Monday in the interest
of a proposed narrow guage railroad
from Midland City or Licking Switch
to the mouth of Beaver on Licking.
Capt. Pitman is engaged in securing
the right of way and was here to see
parties owning and interested in land
at and noar Midland City. The road
is to be built by Eastern capitalists
who have bought many thousand OF
acres of land on Beaver Greek and
Licking River. They bought of the
old Licking River Lumber and Min
ing Company about $4,000 acres of
timber land on the above named
streams and besides building the rail
road, they propose to build large
saw mill on John Milt Carsity's place
at the mouth of Beaver. OF course
the railroad will be used to convey
the product of the mill to the G. & 0
Railroad. The company will employ
rbout 400 mep.--Bath County Ban

Changed His Mind,

In revival on Mt. Elkhorn near
the West Virginia line, there was a
lively scene one night last week, &C
cordiDg to a report from correspon-
dent in that locality. A protracted
meeting had been in progress for two
weeks, much to the displeasure of
three OF the hard characters in the
neighborhOod. The preacher was
warned to leave. This he persistent
" refused to do. On the night in
question one of the worst mountain
ezra went to The church in the middle
of the service and with pistol in hand
informed the minister that he must
leave. The good old fellow walked
down the aisle and proceeded to give
the coward a sound thrashing. Like

South America has 63,41S,000 cattl' :,
lis. 800 200 sheep and 5000, 900 goats
OF these the Pampas of Argentine has
23,000,000 cattle, Brazil 100000,
Chilli 100000, Uruguay 5000 000
Venezuela 100000. Argentine has

and llamas.
With such immense numbers of
cattle and sheep rapidly increasing,
and some of them being improved by
the importation of pure bred bulls and
bucks from England, they will give us
stronger competition in the Europea !
markets unless we grade mp with
more pure bred sires and raise bet

Wine Making in America.

In California they make wine in a
practical way which is very disillu-
sionizing. The grapes grow on low
fiat bushes in dusty soil instead OF
on huge trellises against creamy
wall. The grapes themselves are
brought in wagon-losds to the crusher
and each wagon weighed very care
fully before it is unloaded.
After being weighed the grapes are
pitch forked to the endless chain,
where they are caught up by per-
verse current running up hill, green
stream which disappears in the roof of
the building. Here is where the
erusher is located and also where the
grapes are separated from the stems.
The grape goes on and the stems
return into enormous watts.
Once free of the crusher the thick
river of fruit branches variously; one
stream turns on itself and carries the
stems down; dozen others wind
their devious ways TO the watts in the
corner. The juice is wrung from the
skin and pulps but is not free of them.
The tanks receive this mixture, which
is only sugared juice with no sugges-
ton of wine.
The mixture is allowed to stand for
several days and then the mystery
begins, for it commences to get warm.
In few hours it is warm sticky
mass, a little later it is hot, boiling and
bubbling with thick pink froth drip
ping over the edge of the tank. 1t is
like a small Fesuvius and like the
volcano throws off a poisonous gas, Bit
ter and pungent. A lantern will go
out when held in the gas. 1t is said
that an inexperienced hand once
started to clean out a tank which was
newly. emptied and he was dead before
he touched the bottom.
The tanks sometimes have eruptions,
and mangling people or
off the roof. After few
days of this boiling the wine is
off to another tank, where it
SINNERS and ferments and is then per-
feet But the wine-makers are not
with the pulps and skins,
which are put under hydraulic pres
sure and squeezed into dry, spongy
mass called "cheese." A thick, sweet
wine is obtoined by the hydraulic
pressure not so valuable as the first.
The cheese seems as dry as possible,
but if left in the sun will commence
to smoke and ferment. There is still
wine in it. Cream of tartar is made
from this "cheese." The huge dry
brown piles of stems are used for fuel
and one can find by stirring the mass
that there is enough wine in these
stems to cause quite lively fermenta-
ton.
