One OF the curiositles of nature Is

two or three of these known to sci

They form n hoop-shaped figure and

Ir France champagne Is only served
at the dessert. and 1t must DO neither
too sweet nor too dry.
There Is no stimulant known to medi-
cine as eficacious in bringing cheer
fulness OF mind as champagne.
Champagne is noxious In some cases
Of sickness which cannot stand a devel-
opment Of carbonic acid gas. like heart
disease.
The best manufacturers use no labels
In France proper, the brand of the
corks being sufficient to protect their
product.
AS a general rule the absolute guam
tity of alcohol contained In champagne
amounts to 10 or IL per cent OF the
measurement.
The corking machine Is the next step
and the 'fceleur' or wire-worker
draws a hot iron arcSnd the cork to
keep 1t safely In place.
The quantity of alcohol contained In
champagne depends mainly on the ma
ture of the essence added to II after
fermentation. and varies widely with
the taste OF the consumers In various
countries.
In Austria and Germany there Is a
demand for sweet champagne. Eng
land and America order champagne
with the least addition OF essence

All champagne is dosed. liquor being
added to the wine makes II stronger OF

the brand. II Is applied with a ma.
chine, which apportions the exact
quantity to each bottle without error
or waste.
Tests with the manometer show that
champagne exerts q pressure In the
bottles Of from four to Ave atmosphere.
The greatest pressure should never ex-
coed six atmospheres. and the bottle
will burst when the pressure reaches

Maintaining the Courts Dignity.

(From the Taylorsville. KY, Courier.)
Judge J. G. Wickliffe Is fond of ath-
%letics. and although he never exercises
now, he can tell Of the days when he
was a terror among the boys. The
judge has been a vigorous man In his
time, and the story Is told of him that,
while holding circuit court at Lebanon
shortly after the war, there being a
military garrison at that place occu-
pied by a regiment of Ohio troops.
about twenty of these we're drunk and
on the warpath and had collected In
front Of the court house and We're max
ing things lively for a time, and It
looked like a riot was imminent, as the
feeling between the citizens and the
Yankee soldiery at that time was Of
the bitterest type. Judge Wickliffe or
dered the sheriff to dispense the riotous
soldiers. The officers proceeded to ex-
ecute the order; but they were unable
to remove the stubborn soldiery and so
reported to the Judge. He at once ad-
journed court. walked coolly to where
the crowd had collected, and ordered
them to at once dispense. which they
still refused. The judge waded into
them In grand style, and in less time
than 1t takes to tel. 1t he had eight of
them lying on the pavement and the
rest scampering In every direction. II
Is said the judge never leveled his arm
on a man but he sent him to tho
ground.

Sneexed HIS Eye Out.

One OF the most peculiar accidents
ever recorded occurred the other day to
Charles Doran. a resident of a Cincin-
natl suburb. Doran was nursing a Sc
we're cold, and meeting a friend at the
railway station he accepted a prof
fered pinch of snuff. The membrane
OF his nasal passage was very delicate
and sensitive and he sneezed violently.
So severe was the paroxysm that the
inferior oblique muscle OF the left eye
was ruptured. and, as he continued to
sneeze, the eXertion forced the eye
completely out OF the socket. A physi-
clan succeeded in replacing the eye In
- socket. Doran said, In describing
his sensation, that the pain was not
intense when the eye was forced out.
He felt as though something was BURST
ing in his head, but did not realize what
had happened until he saw with his
right eye that his left eye was dangling
on his cheek. The pain of repairing
the injury was much more severe than
the hurry itself.
