A HEAVY DECREASE.
Big Falling Of in the Production of
Wine In France Due to
PhyIlOxera-

The production of wine in France
showed material decrease last year.
The average yield was $50 gallons per
acre, which is about one-third less than
in 1896. The total yield was about equal
to the average for the ten years previous
to 1896, but less than the product of
that year. The decrease in the wine
acreage is attributable almost entirely
to phylloXera, which has undoubtedly
cost the French people several times
more than the war indemnity paid to
Prussia. In 1896, 1921, Gan acres were
planted, which yielded 1,0O% 1853. APO gal
Ions, and last year the acreage was A.
222, 1925, which produced only T27, 791 las
gallons, which was an enormous loss of
1862, 175 gallons, with only a decrease
of 100000 acres. The district known as
Charente yielded 100000 gallons last
year, against 3OO,O00,0OO before the in
cursions of the phylloXera. Consul

vines are grated, are growing in hum

grapes, from which excellent wines are
made. The products of some of these
vines are mixed with grapes from vines
100 years or more old, with satisfactory
results. Considerable wine is produced
direct from the American vines and is
known as American wine. The influ-
ence of the soil and climate is said to
have caused the product of the trans
planted vine to compare favorably with
the native. 1t is calculated that the I'M
ported vine after naturalizati on of ten
years, will, with the aid of grating,
yield quality of wine equal to the best
in the locality to which it has been
transplanted, but the costliest wines
come from vines that date from CEN
fury to century and half or more"

the boat shot over the place where the
unfortunate man went down. Mr.. Grant
was in the bow, keeping sharp lookout
for him when he came to the surface.
AS the boat moved along he looked
down into the water, which was very
clear, and plainly saw the man near the
surface.
Like flash he scrambled to the stern

second dived over the coXswain's head
for the drowning man. He calculated
just right and in moment had him by

him to the surface. Both men were

THE MORPHINE HABIT.
Vice Most widespread in Germany,
France and the United
States.

In a work on the morphine habit,
lately published in Paris, much inter.
esting information is given concerning
morphinism and morphinomania, some
of which will be new to American read,
ers. 1t is stated that Germany, France
and the United States are the countries
in which the vice is most widespread,
but that it has its victims in Russia,
Sweden and Turkey, and that even in
the extreme east morphine as a mar
cotic is said to be supplanting opium.
Statistics are furnished of 1000 cases,
collected from all parts of the world
$50 men and $50 women. These statis
tics show that of the male morphinist.
the medical profession supplied the
largest number, 40 per cent. Men OF
leisure come next, with IS per cent;
then merchants, eight per cent; while
peasants, clergymen and politicians oc-
cupy the lowest position on the list.
Women of means are the most numer-
Gus class among the females, 43 per
cent; followed by wives of medical
men, ten per cent. In Germany there
are entire villages whose inhabitants
are all addicted to the use of the drug,
but the general belief that the NOR
phine habit is more extensively prac-
tised in Paris than in any other city is
contradicted. Morphinomania is said
to occur with the greatest frequency be-
tween the ages of 25 and 40.
The direct action that morphine ex-
erts on the organS Of generation in both
sexes, producing impotence in the male
and amenorrhea in the female, is too
well attested to need argument.
The prognosis of morphinomania is
stated to be favorable, although re-
lapses are requent.-Journal of In
ebr;ety.

DEATH TO SNAKES.
The Artistic Way New York Dog
Has of killing Them and the
Use He Makes of Them.

An Andover correspondent, who
writes from that place occasionally
sends snake story that is hard to swal-
low. But here is the story, anyway:
Mr.. George +. Blackman is the owner
of dog, Dan, that has made quite a rec
ord as a snake killer. For several weeks
past the animal has spent all his time
in the fields and woods, hunting and
killing blacksnakes.
When Dan spies snake he dashes
round and round his prey, barking furi-
ously. When the snake coils and raises
its head in defensive attitude, Dan
dashes in with a side-like movement
and catches with his teeth that portion
of the snake just behind the head. Then
a vigorous shake or two, and the snake
is tossed into the air to come down
dead.
Then Dan takes the snake in his
month, and with tail up proudly trots
home with it. The snakes he catches
from day to day he carefully ranges in
pile in the woodward. No one has
counted the snakes, but from the road
the heap of snakes looks almost like
a cord of wood-so there must be a good
many of them. They range in size from
three feet to seven feet in length.
a peculiar thing about Dan is that he
does not mutilate the snakes except
that in each instance he bites a hole in
the skin and eats the liver of the rep
tile. He has become so expert in this
that he can, in an instant, locate the
liver of snake, no matter what its size,
big or little.
Dan is also quite fisherman. He has
long, shaggy tail, the end of which
is adorned with Santa Claus-like whis-
kers. AT dusk Dan will repair to the
riverside and drop his tail into the wa
ter. When he has "bite," which means
that the hairs of his tail have become
tightly twisted about the horns of a
fat bullhead, Dan gives a yelp and a
Jump, throws his tail over his shoulder
and lands the fish in a safe place.
But fishing is a side issue with Dan.
He spends most of his time snake hunt

THE DEVILS BUSINESS.

1.-THE president of the Ohio Liquor league
said III his speech. at the recent annual
meeting of that organization: THE sue
cess of our business is dependent largely
upon the creation of appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor. like others, will
die. and If there is no new appetite created
our counters will be empty, as will be our
Golfers. The open field for the creation of
this appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are formed,
they rarely ever change in this regard. 1t
will be needed. therefore, that missionary
work DO done among the boys, and l make
the suggestion, gentlemen, that nickes ex-
pended in treats to the boys now will re-
turn in dollars to your tills after the appe-
title has been formed. Above all things,
create appetite"l
Invite the boys to take a drink,
Mix poison with their brains;
Ensnare their princely power to think,
In runs debauching chains.

And earth be filed with gloom,
