must not be seized so that any OF the
precious juice is wasted. firm yet
delicate seizure is the characteristic
knack of these female Dickers. After
many years of the labor described they
suffer from something that can only find
a parallel among English diseases in
what is termed peumous cram2. The
fingers of the pickers have muscles so
delicately attuned to their work that the
convulsive or precise movement of seiz-
ing a grape and removing the fruit from
the vine without despoiling it of its chief
virtue brings in time spasmodic new
vousness like ST. Vitus dance.

The juices are allowed 10 ferment in
watts made of a peculiar highly seasoned
wood, mostly obtained from the Black
Forest in the Hartz mountains This
timber is exceedinly dark and eerie-look-
ing and an old tradition gives to watts
made of this wood the flavor of witchery
with which the wines become STEPPED.
Herein lies the intoxication and not in

vents in the top of the tunnels.

This is q modern innovation. From the
tunnels the wine is either bottled for the
walton in some of the ancient cellars of
old Germany The, tun trade is not so
small COMPARED with the other.
Every year there come orders from New
wines. The tun of course is the largest
hogshead with which any liquid is run.

gallons and les frequently 1000 gallons.
A derrick IS used to hoist a good sized
tun into the stowaway of merchant

Menul & Bran export ABOUT ~ IONS an
nually and manufacture over 100000 gal
Ions of the pure grape juice wines, most
of which is sold in Germany, France,
Hungary and England. Some goes to
Austria and Italy, but the wines of these
countries take the place of the better
German quality in a great measure. The
gentlemen left the city this morning for
