NORMANDY CIDER.
1t is Very Fine and Produced by the
Millions of Gallons.

Is very cluo anu ny tuo
Millions of Gallons.
AS a fact the finest cider is not made
by the British grower, but in Norman
dy. They have in that province brought
cider making to perfection. The total
produce every year there amounts to
hundreds of millions of gallons; and
it is made with the utmost care. To be-
gin, they choose the site of the orchard
with judgment, and see that the soil
is of the type which apples love; and
they are equally thoughtful in select
ing the varieties of the apple most
fiji for cider. Indeed, for the very finest
cider, their solicitude is SO great that
none but the second or third years
fruit of the trees is used; and when
the process of fermentation is reached.
nothing IS left to chance. Chemists of
great experience watch the changes in
the liquor; and the skill with which
the process is regulated is based on the
knowledge gathered from long prac-
tice. The result is that some Normandy
cider is equal in delicacy and flavor
to fine champagne, and many cheap
champagnes are simply sophisticated
cider.
This deception is very general. The
great bulk of the cider made in Nor
mandy goes to the champagne districts,
and is used to make cheap champagne,
and to form the body of other wines,
tco. Port, it seems, can be made, and
often is made, of cider, the color being
Impaired by logwood or red-beet juice,
and the flavor by the addition in very
nice proportions of the root of the
rhatany. This, it is said, is an imita-
ticn SO excellent that the flavor would
deceive good judge of port. 1t is
quite certain that all the cider made
in Normandy does not, by very large
proportion, go on the market as cider;
and that it is sold in the guise of cheap
wines, both white and red. Certainly.

Port Townsend Southern Wants Ties
The Port Townsend Leader saws

The Port Townsend Leader says:
Several would be railroad contractors
are scurrying around after timber suit
able for the purpose, and all because
the Port Townsend Southern is going
to call for bids on many thousands of
ties for rebuilding their line, as ex-
cluslvely announced in the Morning
Leader few days ago. And this is
no beginning OF the end to Port Town
sends long wait for transcontinental
railroad connection.
Last fall prominent official of our
local railroad was asked if his COMPANY
proposed to do any repair work on the
line during the coming summer, to
which the officiol replied that no more
work would be done on the road until
the time came to rebuild the track
and extend it to Olympia. The work
of rebuilding will soon be under way,
and the extension will naturally fol-

The New York Central, the Michigan

and Navigation Company's railroad
are separate lines in name only, and
are fast being consolidated under one
title. Their interests are one and their
traffic is carried on as one continuation
line from Greater New York to Port

RECENTLY it was noticed that expor-
tation of paper was greatly on the in
crease, and if everybody does not sail
to the Klondike, the manufacture OF
wood pulp on this coast, where the
raw material is abundant and cheap,
might turn out to be most profit
able industry. Canada now turns out
about 10000 tons year, and while
much is made in New England and
the middle states, pulp to the value of
$65O,OOO was imported from Canada
last year. New York probably makes
more wood pulp than any other state,
and in addition to domestic supplies,
imports great deal of spruce pulp
timber from Canada. A special num-
Der of a New York journal recently is
sued, consumed 27O, tons of white pa
per made from wood pulp, or the
equivalent of 100000 feet of logs. Be-
sides being material for paper of va
rious kinds, wood pulp is utilized for
the manufacture of many other artic-
les. Among these are pals, dishes
and other hollow ware, paper, parch-
ment, cotton wool for hospital dress
ings, cotton yarn and cloth, silk yarn
and fabrics, cigar boxes, medals, cor

furniture, horseshoes, tool handles

for building stone and paving blocks,
and a variety of other purposes. The
total quantity of wood pulp imported
into England last year was 327 ,OSO
tons more than three-fourth of which
was from Norway and Sweden.-Com-

gestion and disordered liver
mean that man is fighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the knock k-out blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some serious malady When a
mans stomach is weak and his digestion
IS impaired, the life-giving elements of the
food he takes are not assin1ilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starveS. In the meantime
the dlsordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
1lutriment, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels Continued, this system of starva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the r-passages

collars of fine linen, embroidered or hem

of wool and cloth.
Separate abers of curled ostrich plumage
are introduced as an edging for ruches,
cravats and coquilles Of gauze and lace.
This decoration, which is seen in white,

is very light, delicate and fragile, and can
hardly be looked at without sustaining
damage, but 1t is soft and becoming,
therefore desirable when it can be often
renewed.
Chemisettes of accordion plated gauze

In an address before the Trades
League of Philadelphia. at its annual
meeting held last week, Secretary Gage
criticised Bryan's utterances on this
question by repeating, what every in
telligent person knows, when he called
attention to the advance in wages and
enlargement in the working forces in
the various industrial concerns through
out the land.
In the iron and steel industry Mr..
Gage said the working force now is
267. 900 greater and average wages 10 to
20 per cent higher than at the begin
ming of 1897. There has been a CORE
spending improvement in the condition
of the glass-making industry, the tin
plate factories. the wooden mills, the
potteries and in every other industry
except cotton manufacturing, and it is
probable that the depression there is
only temporary and that full forces will
be employed again as soon as the pres
ent surplus stocks are consumed. Even
in this line the trouble is confined to
comparatively few concerns. Hundreds
of factories are at work, paying good
wages and making satisfactory profits
for their owners
Mr.. Bryan. AS the advocate of Il single

cause of free and unlimited coinage of
silver by misrepresenting true condi-

Since his return from Mexico. MIR.
BRYAN has been attempting to belittle
the increasing prosperity Of the United
States. and in this he has made a serious
mistake. He knows that average wages
are higher than at any time since 1892,
and more men are employed at remnn-
erative labor than have been en-
ployed in many years past. True, In
the New England cotton textile manu-
featuring districts. wages have been
reduced and many workers are out OF
employment. but that does not affect

THE Demoeratic-Pop papers of the
territory are now indulging in the pub
LEGATION of "A lot of humbug in giving num-
crous reasons for the defeat of the New
Mexico statehood bill in this congress.
They charge it to the financial question,
or because the territory would elect free
silvermen to the senate or the hostility OF
the east to the west or the venom and
hatred of the gold bugs toward free sill
yer community and TIL like. They know
they are talking rot. The real reason is,
that New Mexico elected IL Democratic
Pop delegate to congress in November,
1896. and that a ma iority OF the members
of congress have no faith in a common
wealth that will do such a fool thing.
That's what there is to it and it is the
truth and if the people of this territory
do not like the truth told them, the
New MEXICAN can not help it. But
truth is truth and will prevail, the howl,
ings and gatherings of the Democratic
Pop papers of the territory to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

Probably a Case OF Short Memory.

Anent the Hawaiian question. an in
teresting dispute has arisen between
Senator Morgan. of Alabama. and eX-
President Cleveland over the latters
action and position on. annexation. 1T
viii BIZ remembered that Immediately
after taking the oath of Office for the
second time as president, MI. Cleveland
withheld from the senate the Hawaiian
treaty sent to that body by President
Harrison, and successfully interrupted
all further action on the matter. Sena-
tor Morgan. who is pretty generally
credited with knowing something re-
garding foreign relations and the inside
workings of the diplomatic service, last
week made the statement that during
his first administration. Mr.. Cleveland
stated to him that he, Cleveland, was in
favor of the acquisition OF both Hawaii
and Cuba. and that the same statement
was made to at least one confidential
friend of the then president, whose evil
dence can be produced if necessary.
Upon hearing this statement Mr.. Cleve-
land expressed great surprise that Sena-
tor Morgan. or anyone else, should en-
terrain the least doubt as to his views
on annexation of any island or land OF
any kind. and asserts that he has always
been opposed to acquiring additional
territory. In other words he intimates
that Mr.. Morgan has not that sacred re-
gard for the tenth commandment he
should have.
When it comes down to a question of
the truth of the two statements, the
country at large would be inclined to
give Mr.. Morgan the benefit of the
doubt. Mr.. Cleveland has been noted
for u reluctance in making public his
opinions and intentions, and on o
than one occasion has given evidence of
possessing a treacherous memory. This
may be a case of that kind-simply for
ge%tfulncss. Again it nav be that not
being able to accomplish the acquisition
of Hawaii and Cuba during his first
term. and rather than to have Nh. Har-
rison given the credit for bringing about
the annexation of Hawaii, he would not
permit it at all. But. while making
every reasonable excuse for Mr.. Cleye-
lands strange behavior in withdrawing
the treaty from the senate, it neverthe-
less is impossible to escape the conclu-
sion that he ought to refresh his memory,
and to purge himself from the very sig
niiicant situation in which he has placed
himself by his denial Of Senator Nor
gan's statements. Judging entirely from
the face of the record, as far as the
same is before the country and without
the slightest bias, it will not be out of
place to say that those who revere the
memory of Grover Cleveland would be
much relieved by a frank acknowledge
ment from him that after all, he does
now remember a sort of kindly leaning
toward annexation in the early days of
his greatness, and before he met Claus
Spreckles.
