the grape juice is drawn off? Water is
run into the tanks until they arc
almost full and the whole, pummacc
and water, allowed another opportunity
to fcrment, and the liquid, which is
called "wash' in this second process,
is carried off by means of pipes into
tanks situated at one end of the winery
on the ground floor, where it remains
until at some future time it is pumped
into the dis'illcry to be distilled into
brandy.
The pummace, after the wash has
been drawn off, is removed from the
tanks through u main hole in its
bottom and piled into cars and then
carried to the distillery on trestle
work and dumped into immense
wooden stills where, whatever of
nutriment still remains is distilled
into sort OF inferior brandy. This
brandy, when unmixed, is an abomin-
able substance, reeking with fusel oil
and other impurities, but when mixed
with brandy of higher grade it be-
comes drinkable, or at least as drink
able as brandy and kindred liquors be-
come under any conditions. Thus the
pummace is blown from the stills and
stacked in great heaps upon the
ground to dry and is used the next
season for fuel. Nothing is wasted
about vineyard.
"The brandy stills are not different
from those used in distilling whiskey
from malt and those who have seen
one of these institutions with its maze
OF furnaces and pits and labyrinth of
pipes, we all know futile would be the
attempt to present photograph of it
in words. A distllery is an essential
supplement- to every winery. With
out the former the latter would not
exist. 1t is not that there is any great
profit in selling brandy to the trade,
but is because brandy must be used in
making wine, and as the United States
government has tax of one dollar
and ten cents on each gallon of brandy
that is removed from the distillery or
its immediate vicinity and no tax upon
brandy used in fortifying wine, it will
easily be seen that no winery could
afford to buy brandy for use in its
wines at $50 or $1.75 per gallon,
which is the price on all stamped
brandy, it could itself produce at
twenty-five or thirty cents per gallon.
The only significant factor in max
different kinds of wines, is the diff
ference in grapes. One kind of grape
produces one kind of wine, and an
other kind another-that is a surface
explanation in nutshell"
In leaving the winery was con-
Quoted to the storage house, which
contained over and above q hundred
and fifty or two hundred immense
storage casks, the three largest wine
tanks in the world; perfect monsters !;
each one large enough to have
furnished quarters for hundred men,
and all full of wines of different grades
and values ready for the market where
they will produce the same results, as
all things that nature and art yields
beneficial effects il used, detrimental
if abused.

A RUSE BOTH WAYS.
How an Actress and Doctor Were
FOOling Each Other.

In French theaters the doctor of the
theater has scat given him for every
performance. He must be there
every evening. Naturally, after he
has seen the same piece score OF
times he longs to be elsewhere and
prefers to give his seat to some of his
friends. NJ Ernest Blum says that
when he was young man q friend,
the doctor of the Theater Porte St.
Martin, gave him his seat. Just as he
was becoming interested in the first
act the stage manager rushed UP
the heroine had nervous attack and
required medical aid! Blum had
nothing else to do but to follow him.
In the lady's dressing room he found
the manager with anguish depicted on
every feature and the lady wringing
her hands and shrieking.
"Now, doctor, quick! What's to be
done?"
Blum grew as red as lobster, and
as he could not say anything he just
calculated "Hm! Let us see! Let
us see."
He took the lady's hand in a wild
attempt to feel her pulse. She
shrieked more than ever and writhed
like a snake.
Have you poured any water on her
head?" he asked.
ayes"
"And no eticct?"
None"
"Then don't pour any more"
After this display of medical knowl-
edge he continued:
"Give her sniff of eau de cologne"
Haven't any," was the answer.
"Then go fetch some"
Off rushed the manager and the
stage manager, and Blum was left with
his patient.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.
Doctor" she said, you nre good
fellow, aren't your"
"Yes, ma'mselle."

FURNISHING A FLAT.
Experience of a Wise Chicago Girl

There are good as well as bad

had snuggled down in the sofa pill

Fred's engagement was announced
over a year ago and there isn't the

friend, with her mouth full of marsh

be a fiat -
There isn't one really-only just an
indefinite one, located off there in the
future somewhere, in the midst of
rosy-tinted mists. But they are fur

TALLY, too. At present the articles are

by this time. It's pity, though, that
the card playing season is so nearly

You see, they're furnishing their
fiat with prizes won at cinch and
euehre parties. They are fine players,
and it is rare thing, indeed, when
they do not come home with either
the first or second prize. Their friends
