A Fortunate Assassin.

Luccheni, who murdered the empress
of Austria and who is imprisoned fol-
life in Geneva, has apparently no reason
to be dissatisfied with his lot. His place
Of confinement was closely inspected q
few days ago by correspondent Of the
British Medical journal, and he found 1t
not only spacious, but comfortable. The
assassin's so called cell is No. "a and is
large room, lighted by an ordinary
window through which the sunshine
comes for several hours daily. The room
is decently furnished and Is very neat. It
contains, among other things, an cleo.
trio bell and supply Of excellent books.
As for Luccheni himself, though some
what pale, he Is quite healthy and happy.
He has the privilege Of walking for one
hour daily in the courtyard Of the prison,
and the only drawback Is that he cannot
have any companion during this walk.
Besides the room already described he
has comfortable bedroom with win.

gave place to rough shingle; then small
rocks began to crop out here and there.

MAKING OF SHERRY.
The Interesting Manner In Which
This Wine Is Manufactured,

The Interesting Manner In Which
This Wine Is Manufactured.
Sherry as wine has never been so pop
ular in this country as in Europe, although
it enters very largely into the preparation
of many drugs. Very little is generally
known about the process Of manufacture.
According to recent Spanish report, it
Is full of interest. The grapes are taken
to the corner Of the presshouse and thrown
into press Of primitive construction, con-
sisting of a wooden trough about ten feet
square, with screw press in the center.
The trough Is filed with 1900 pounds Of
grapes, which are then crushed by the feet
OF men wearing wooden clogs. The reason
of this Is that the weight of a man is just
sufficient to force out the juice and not
enough to bruise the skins or branches,
which would give bitter flavor to the
wine.
The treading Is carefully and method
ically done, each row coming in its turn
under the crush of the sabot. After this
first level pressing sulphate of lime is
sprinkled over the mess. This is known
as "yeso" and occurs as pure earth in
the Jerez districts. This earth is added in
the proportion Of IN pounds to 1900
pounds Of grapes. The average yield is
about 10 gallons for one filling of the
press When the grapes have been trodden
several times, the screw press is used The
liquori Is put away and fermented for about
three weeks, when it begins to clear and
can be drawn off from the lees. In this
condition it is really q young wine and is
given the name Of "moto." As the wine
natures 1t is placed in it's special class. If
it is delicate, light wine, it is known as
"fino, while If it should have highly
yinous character it Is classed as "oloroso"

NEW STORY ABOUT PATTI
How she Convinced the Postal Clerk
at Cannes Of Her identity.

How she Convinced the Postal CIera
| at Cannes Of Her Identity.
Here Is an amusing and chara cteristic
story about Adelina Petit, who, as all
the world knows, recently became the
bride Of Baron de Cederstrom. After
her marriage she went from her Welsh
home, Craig-y-Nos, to Cannes, and be.
fore leaving she gave instructions that
oil her mail was to be forwarded to the
Cannes postoffice. When she arrived at
Cannes, she went to the postofice and
asked the official If there were any let
ters for the Baroness Adelina de Cedcr-
strom-Patti.
Lots Of them" was his reply. "In
foot, they're coming in by every mail"
"Then give them to me-" she said ca
gerly, being naturally very anxious to re-
ceive news from home.
Have you any old letters by which
can identify youl" asked the official.
NO. answered Nine. Patti. II have
nothing but my visiting card. Here it
IT,"
"Oh, that's not enough, madame" was
the cold reply. "Any one can get visit
ing cards of other people. II you want
your mail, you will have to give me a
better proof Of your identity than that"
Nine. Patti. however, was not to be
bafiled so easily.
"You surely have seen Adelina PATHS
photograph" she urged. well, look at
me. Don't you see that I am the same
person.
Even this argument did not convince
the official, and mement later he
abruptly turned away, after throwing
the coveted pile of letters into drawer.
A brilliant idea then struck Nine.
Patti. It was quite early--only s
o'clock-and there was no one In the
postofice except an old clerk, who was
busy writing. A golden opportunity 1t
was, and the great artist availed herself
Of it. She began to sing. a touching
song she chose. the one beginning "A
voice loving and tender" and never did
she put more heart into the melody.
And marvellous was the change as the
brilliont music broke through the intense
silence. In few minutes the quiet post
Office was filled with people, and hardly
had the singer concluded the first few
lines of the ballad when the old clerk |
came forward and said, trembling with |
excitement: TITS Patti, Patti! There's
no one but Adelina Patti who could sing |
like that"
swell, are you satisfied 'now7" asked
the madame of the official who had ex-
pressed doubts as to her identity and
who now stood open mouthed in front Of
the crowd.
The only reply which he made was to
go to the drawer and hand her the pile Of
