Aroma and bouquet, - SAT- we'll
known wine expert, are too often tax
EN- to mean the same thing III Wine
Flavor pertains especially to the hnger-
ing aftertaste of wine when swallowed
Aroma and bouquet appeal only to the
smell, and the former exists in the grape
itself, while bouquet only manifests
itself long after fermentation Is COM
pleted. Bouquet is never present except
in the Purest wines. 1t seems to arise
from union of several agreeable odors,
and any mixture would surely destroy
it. There are no truly fine wines with
out strikingly marked agreeable bou-
quet, and where all other qualities me
of equal perfection the bouquet makes
the distinction that gives to the Wine
possessing it always the preference. -

What a Kurd Is Like.

In color they are usually no darker,
and often not nearly so dark, as south
ern Europeans. The eyebrows and lash
es and eyes are generally black, and
nose aquiline and fine, and the mouth
we'll formed. The face is long and oval,
while in stature medium height seems
TO be general. The chin is shaved, the
mustache alone being left, and over it
no end Of trouble Is taken with comb
and wax. The hair Is usually shaved
along the top of the crown. but left
long ON either side, though little or
nothing of it is visible, owing to the pc
culiar and characteristic manner in
which the men deck their heads The
kurd's costume is distinctly his own,
and except in the south, where he has
come more or less under Persian intlu-
ence, he never abandons it. A high silk
pointed cap crowns the head, round
which Is woven a number of silk scarfs
and handkerchiefs in skillfully arranged
disorder
The favurite colors for these turbans
are dark claret and gold, with here and
there narrow stripe of some brilliant
hue. The rough fringeS are left hanging
down, as often as not covering the eyes
and ears of the wearer and adding not
little to his fantastic appearance. Over
white linen shirt, with sleeves that
end in points more than yard long, SO
that they touch the ground, a silk coat
is worn, crushed strawberry being the
favorite color, though cherry color and
white satin are almost equally com
mon. These coats are made collarless
and open at the neck and fold across the
breast, being held III place by wide
silk sash skillfully folded and inter
twined. In this sash the long pipe and
curved dagger are thrust -Blackwood

Beattx.s Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless pillow boy, and by his indOmit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100, 900 OF
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200, :
900 more of his make; that means a
business of S2O, ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for

Rout of n Young Woman who Undertook

Rout of n Young Woman who Undertook
to squeIsh GrooerJ Clerk.
Two pretty young women entered a
large up town grocery UBa evening last
week From their couy rsation it was
evident that they belonged to some
boarding school IN the neighboThOod
aud had stolen cat for q few moments TO
buy daint;Cs which they meant TO snug
gle TO their rooms.
There's one thing don't like about
the clerks in this store. said one Of
them. while they waited for the sales
man, land tha; : the way they insist ON
telling you that you don't want what
y0u do want and that you do want what
you don't want. Every time / come IN
here L hare the same experience, aud
I'm Just tired of it. Tic next time it
happens I'm going to tell the clerk just
what / think Of HIM. ="
At that moment a clerk approached
and asked the young women what they
wanted. The one who had so much to
complain about pointed 1T one of a row
of cracker tins and said:
Il want pound of those"
'Oh, no, You don't, - said the clerk
suavelE; you want some Of these, or
these here; they re all very nice. "
The young woman throw a glance
which said, What did tell you?" at
her companion, and turning TO the clerk
said fiercely:
'Nu, l don't, anything Of the kind. 1
want these and no others. -
Il beg your pardon" he began, II
thought
Never mind what you thought, "
said the young woman. a. guess know
what l want. Now just let me have
pound of those. please. - And she turned
to her companion with look of triumph
on her face which plainly meant,
Didn't l squelch him?"
Very well, Inadam, " said tho clerk
humbly, "but may ask whether they
are for yourself:"
well. of all the impertinent ques-
tions' - began the young woman, when
her companion interrupted, and, turning
TO the clerk, said
"Why do you aSk?''
'Oh, because they're dog biscuit,
replied tine clerk indiGerently. "Still.
of course, il you want them, you can
have them.
Never mind" faltered the young
woman who had insisted on having w hat
sine wanted. Il guess / don I want any
thing at all. and she strutted out of
the store looking very much ashamed
and followed by her companion, who
was struggling to hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything, but
there was satisfied smile ON his face as
he banged the cover down on the can Of
dog biscuit and walked away TO wait On
another customer.-New York Sun.

A Deg THAT REASONED.
He Knew when 1t Was Safe to Sleep ON
His Masters Bed.


No one that knew BombShell ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but occasionally would find stranger
who was not inclined to believe it, and
then 1 would tell him the following
Ltory: NJ parlor was a front casemate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, back casemate. A casemate
may be described as a room in the wall
of a fort, generally intended, in war
time, to hold gun or powder, while in
time of peace many of them, like mine,
ara fitted up for use as quarters for Off
GERS and soldiers.
Bombsheli had his own bed in the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could. l
had tried to break him Of the habit, but
had not been successful
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual, curled up ON my white
counterpaue. The result was awful. As
much as hated to do so, felt obliged
TO give him a thrashing.
1 never caught him ON my bed again.
He would still get on it; but, no mat
ter how quietly / came in, / would al
ways find him ON tine floor, though l
could see from the rumpled condition of
the bed that he had been ON it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening 1 went out. leaving
BOmbshell lying by the parl0r stove.
Out of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position was
able to see the whole of both of MY
rooms.
For awhile BOmbsheIl did not move; /;
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
ON it. Standing in this position,
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hasn t gone?
He will catch me and then / shall get
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back.
l know that he said this because he
took his paws off the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened.
At last. satisfied that had really gone.
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it, cuTled up and Went to sleep.
After such clever act thought that
he had earned his sleep, so 1 went away
and left him. Nicholas.
