appears that Germany is beginning to
seriously rival France as a champagne
exporter. The making of sparkling wines
in Germany has lately been brought to
such perfection that German wines of
all brands now rank nearly equal with
French champagne and the price is much
lower. Their export is chiefly to America,
Great Britain and Belgium.
The French method of manufacture
has been generally adopted in Germany,
this being considered easy, owing to
the fact that the largest champagne
businesses in France are partly in the
hands of Germans.

THE POPE'S HEALTH

A dispatch from Rome to the Pail
Mall Gazette, published this afternoon,
says that the pope has not been enjoying
his usual health recently. DR.. Lapponn,
the popes physician, has been obliged to
adopt special precautions against the
weather, and has increased the number
of hot sand baths which his holiness has
been taking, from one to three a week.
This, it is explained is the only way by
which the doctor can counteract the
rheumatic symptoms of the pope, ac-
cording to the dispatch. DIR. Lapponn.
st is stated, has persuaded the pope not
to take part in any tiring functions, AMI
therefore the program mapped out for
the ceremonies which were to take place
on the sixteenth anniversary of the cele-
bration of the first pass of Leo NIII. has
been abandoned.

Seven Years a Sufrerer-No Relief From Physicinns-Dr. Wiifiamxt Pink Pills Work a Cure on Mrs. Ann T. Deyenish in

From the Gazette Hutchinson, Kansas.

From the Gazette. Hutchinson, Kansas.
 If there is anything 1 have entire faith in, i'll the way of medicine, said Mrs. Ann F. Devenish, of Gastleton, Reno County, Kansas, to reporter, it is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 Why? do you ask. Well for seven years l was q wretched sufferer from nervous de- bility and rheumatism. My wrists were ss swollen and my fingers so stiff that l got no sleep at night. My hips, backbone and shoulderblades were so painful if I moved that 1 would awake screaming with agony, and a small lump of bone or callous grew on my spine, which was exquisitely painful. Of course my heart was badly affected, and the numerous physicians whom l consulted were all et one mind, viz, that my days were num- bered, and they could do me no good
 I could not leave my bed without help, and once lay for three weeks in one position. l would not have been sorry if death had ended my sufferings. One day about three months ago, some one read to me from the Hutchinson Gazette an account of a wonder ful cure of patient, whose ills were some what similar to mine, by the use of Dr. Will hams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
 T was struck by what I heard and pro- cured supply about six weeks ago I had not got through the first box when I received extraordinary relief. Hope returned, and 1 continued with the pills, every day adding to my store of health. My nerves became tranquil, the rheumatic pains began to leave me, palpitation of the heart ceased and my kidneys and liver grew normal
 T can tell you of three persons of Castle ton to whom 1 have recommended these pills (all of whom were suffering with heart difficulty Mrs. l.. Smyth, Mir. John Pur- cell and Mr. Maher, and they will tell you what Pink Pills did for them, and they also know what they did for me- "
 Dr Williams. Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the clements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Yitus' dance, sciatiea, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner- vous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sa1low complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.

HER LlFELIKE STATUE.
signalIzed Her Departure from the
 World of Artists.

Before her marriage she had been fa- nous seulptress. She had made several DOT traits of well-knewn men, and everyone pre- dicted for her still more brilliant future, when she suddenly set all predictions at naught by marrying a wealthy man who dis approved of her keeping up her professional work. She was very quiet under this re- strietion, but was supposed to rebel inward ly. Therefore when, at a dinner party one evening, she asked her old friend, Gen. Bashar, to come and see her on the follow ing evening and inspect her last piece of work, which she thought the best and most lifeli6e she had ever executed, he sup posed he was to use his influence to prevail upon the husband to permit her to resume her place among the working fraternity of artists.

How to Sleep at will.

According to the newest theory of sleep, that curious phenomenon results from the brain being literally drowned in blood. The physiologist who has made this discovery has also found out how you may regulate your period of sleep to the minute and wake as regu- larly as the punctual cock. All you have to do is to raise or lower your head by means of pillows of various thick nesses. If you want to sleep longer than you do at present, lower the pillow and let in more blood to the brain; if you want to sleep less, raise your pillow and let in less blood. Never take mar cotic drugs, as they injure the brain, but lower the pillow more and more till sleep comes. You need not go to the expense of buying an alarm clock, either. since this simple plan will en- able you to awake at any hour.

A British View.

''IJhe Book of Days" the wade mecum," so to speak, of all good Britons has this to say about the day on which all good Americans become delirious with joy and the smell of powder:
 .When a country or government has been baffled in it's efforts to attain or preserve a hated rule over another peo- pie it must be content to see it's failure made the subject of never-ending tri- umph and exultation. The joy attached to the sense of escape or emancipation tends to perpetuate itself by periodical celebrations, in which it is not likely that the motives of the other party. or the general justice of the case will be very carefully considered as allowed for. We may doubt if it be morally ex- pedient thus to keep alive the memory of facts which as certainly infer morti- fication to one party as glorification to another"

Some one has re- gently invented a stove with which, by means of salt, a small quantity of iceand a patent chemical, he proposes to produce an intense degree of cold. The stove can be cooled so that if a hand be placed upon it the skin will instantly be stripped, as in contact with hot iron. It is claimed that with this stove the temperature of room, in hottest weather, can be run down to any point desired. If this apparatus proves a success, and some suitable nonconduct- ing material found for bottling lique- fled air, it seems probable that King Sol will soon be deprived of his power to terroriZe us in our homes,

HOUND THEM FINISHING TIIn sTRINGINe OF THE WIRE.

hats-for I had spoil Miss Walmsiey's plan if possible and wanted to look like a workman-he got another
 bank hill--and I, taking the baskets on
 my arms. pushed forward to find the
 owners of the voices. The woman, had learned, was Prof" Walms-
 ley herself, and the man one of the
 stable boys from eThe Pinese,' who was
 helping to prepare for the experiments.
 When I found them, just finishing the stringing of the wire, they were stand ing on landing stage or pier at the edge of little lake that had been men toned to me as one of the chief attrac-
 tions of the place. While I was intro dmcing myself to Miss Walmsley as
 "the man with the fireworks l noted that she looked like anything but a
 "new woman" She was much more youthful in appearance than I had sup
 posed-almost girlish, in fact-her
 ways were prettily feminine, though
 clearly the ways of one who was used to dominate, and her costume, while plain and cut shorter than for house wear, exactly such as would approve if worn by my own sister were she en- gagged in similar occupation.
 Under Miss Walmsley's directions l went to work at once In the course of her instructions, she confirmed, little by little, all that had been imparted to me by the real "man with the fire works" besides giving me a lot of new information. In order to square myself with my conscience for deceiving her, I strove to perform my work better and
 more rapidly than the man l represent ed could possibly have done it. But even then it was after three o'clock in the afternoon before we had finished planting the fireworks in places where they would be most effective if ex- ploded simultaneously by the mystic
 spark. Although I was supposed to be
 only a workman, the Professor had to explain the desired results to me in detail, and thus I learned from her the entire scope of a complicated plot that had been gotten up, evidently with my
 sisters full connivance, against my en- ioyment of peaceful Fourth of July;
 and I am willing to confess that II the
 'sprofessor'' had not been personally as attractive as she was I should have
 been very angry.
 As it was, I soon began to be amused,
 fer that held held an taee trump cards in the game, and mighfeasily win every trick if only could lay out the proper pfay.
 I've want it to be so fixed Miss Walmsley explained, 'sthat whoever sits
