Unfermented Grape Juice.-This de-
lightfully refreshing summer drink
may be made for about three or four
cents a quart bottle. Pick over the
grapes, rejecting all unsound ones, al
most cover with cold water in a porce-
lain-lined kettle, heat slowly (mash-
ing), and cook until all the juice is
freed. Drain in jelly-bag. Measure
the juice, add one-third of a cupful Of
granulated sugar for each quart, boil
for four minutes, bottle and seal. So
wholesome is this drink that the infer
mented grape juice cure for dyspep-
STA has become popular fad in Ger
many, and there is no doubt of it's ben
eficial quality. IN "

Training Grape Vines.


At the beginning of the third season
the vine consists Of a root system three
years old, and of two canes growing
from the upper portion of the stem
/ each one year old. These canes should
be cut back SO that they will not extend
further than one-half the distance to
the next plants in the same row; weak
growing varieties should be cut back
still more, the important point to OBJ
serve being that the amount Of wood
shall be reduced to such an extent that
the vine will not overbear. In case
the canes destined to form the arms are
cut so short that they do not extend to
the canes of the adjoining plant, the
shoot springing from the last bud
should, the fourth season, be cut long
enough to fill it's share of the vacant
space between the vines.
The trellis should be put in the vine
yard during the second season. al
though it need not be finished. The
use of the lower wire, which should be
from 20 to "a inches from the ground,
is desirable, as it allows the shoots
which are to form the permanent arms
to grow in the position they are to re-
tain, and the pruning also can be more
easily done. Two other wires should
be added some time before the begin
ming of the next, or third, growing sea-
son. The second wire on the trellis
should be about 20 inches above the
first, and the third an equal distance
above the second. These distances
may require some change with varie-
ties which are exceptionally weak or
strong growers. Either number 10 or
number II ungalvanized iron wire will
answer; the former is of special value
when the posts are set far apart and in
positions where an extra strain is put
upon the trellis. All the wires should
be firmly stapled to the windward side
of the posts, yet the wire should be
allowed to slip in the staples.

John Bright's Prophecy,

Colonel Birch tells in Plattsburg paper
of the following conversation he had 30
Years ago with Colonel Vincent Marina
duke, and Its application to present condi-
tions Is such that we give 1t to the public.
Every Missourian knows that Colonel
Marmaduke, like his brother, was q de-
cided Confederate and during the war no
was tho bearer of dispatches from Mr.
Davis to Mr.. Mason, who represented tho
southern Confedoracy in England. Mar
maduke says that ono evening Mr.. Mason
said to him;
''Mr, Mnrmaduke, John Bright Is to
mako n speech tonight in tho house of
commons, and l think it would be to your
pleasure and interest to go down to hear
him."
1t will DO remembered that at that day
Mr. Bright was tho most conspicuous flg
uro in EngltSId. Marmaduko went, and
during his speech Marmaduko says that
Bright stopped and, changing his limo of
remarks, said, "Mr. Speaker, II our kins-
folk on the other side of tho Atlantic set.
tic their civil war satisfactorily and get
back together I'm peace, In 40 years there
will not be gun fired in tho world with
out their consent"
This statement at that day seemed pre-
posterous, and no one but man with
Brights comprehensive mind could have
dared to make such an assertion to go be-
fore the world. 1t has been but 80 years
since Mr.. Bright mode that statement,
and yet events have happened in the last
few months which give to Mr.. Bright
words tho spirit of prophecy, and no ono
would now hesitate TO reproduce it,

EVIDENTLY THERE is MORE OF THE

The Book Agent who Wanted to Sell
the "Life of Napoleon" and the
Farmer with the Calf For Sale
Think So at Any Rate.
The wandering vender of books ospicd q
farmer who was occupied in n barnyard.
The vendor hastcned from tho highway,
opening his bag as he went, and approach
ed tho anticipated victim.
"You are lucky man." he cried. at

Had I not seen you, you might have gono
down to tho grave without chance to

The book merchant displayed the tome,
unveiled the magnificence of the illustra-
tons, and for five minutes chantCd song
in praise of tho work. Tho farmer ceased
from his other labors and listened apathct-
ically. When at last tho vcndcr paused to
take breath, tho good man remarked
| tersely:
II don't want your book"
Tho effect of this simple announcement
was to arouse tho bookman to n state of
apparent horror, and he discourscd fluent
ly on the opportunities Of life, which, once
past, never rcturn--to wit, this was tho
chance of lifetime to buy tho "Lifc of
Napoleon" He then launched into n
philippe against the miscrlincss of tho
illitcrate and wound up his Grafton by as
serting that every true patriot should pur-
chase tho "Lifo of Napoleon. He again
paused to oxygenatc himself, whereupon
the hus5andman declared stoically;

Tho pcripatctic seller of the book now
warmed to his task and rapidly skctchod n
history of the whole world, including, by
the way, full details rs to- the lost Atlantis
and three theories us to the Martians.
After this he acclaimed with great vcho-
mencc against tho errors Of Buddhism and
finished by explaining that the "Lifc of
Napoleon had brought about the peace
between tho United States and Spain. lie
then offered to rob himself by letting the
farmer have copy of tho superb and mon .
uInental work for los. 3D.. The farmer
now became more communicative. He
said
"I don't want your book-won't buy it. :"
This seemed to encourage tho other,
who began an epic concerning tho uni
verso at large, whom the farmer interrupt
ed him by saying:
i've got "a calf. "
whats that to me?" the agent ex-
claimed in evaporation.
Quoth tho farmer stolidy:
i've got splendid calf, and I'll sell
him to you cheap"
Pooh don't want calf" answered
the vender in disgust II want to sell you
this beautiful book"
And don't want your book, " return
cd the farmer. Il want to sell you my

book agent.
