TRADE IN GERMAN WINES.
Domestic White Wins Are Replacing Tho Eypcn-
size Branis from Abroad.

German wines 10 the amount Of L.,
$50, 900 gallons in casks and 100, 900 dozen
bottles are imported into the United
States each year TO the value of about
81, 100000. These importations have not
fluctuated much i'm amount i'm recent
years. though following the CONNER
cial depression OF 1898, foreign wines,
like other Articles OF luxury. suffered
from a restricted American market.
Germany now stands second in the list
of European nations exporting wines to
the United States, France being the
first and Hungary the chief competi-
tor Of Germany. From Spain, Italy and
Portugal some wines are imported, but
the chief source of American supply is
Fance for red wines and Germany for
white wines Of the better quality, par
ticularly the Rhine and Moselle wines
The more expensive brands of Ger
man wines still retain their popularity
I'm the United States. but by degrees the
cheaper wines have been replaced by
domestice white wines. Ohio makes in
year 100000 gallons of wine and Mis-
souri, 100000. the demand for these
wines being chiefly i'm those large cities
of the middle West which have a large
German population particularly ST.
Louis, Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Fort Wayne and Milwaukee. Recent
reports from Germany make IL probable
that there will be "A decline In the inn
portations this year. the Rhine wine
yield being last year one of the poorest
as TO quantity and quality Of recent
years. because OF unfavorable weather
American wine producers find no rea-
son for doubling their ability TO COM
pete, under fair terms. with their Ger
man trade rivals. They have the benefit
of tariff on foreign wines, the benefit
arising from the cost OF transportation
and from the fluctuations of foreign
markets. which. in consequence of the
partial failure Of the German crop last
year. have considerably raised the
prices for German wines. while there
has been no corresponding advance i'm
the cost of American linght wines. The
United States is certain TO become less
dependent on German wine importa-

SWANS ARE COWARDS.

The greater part Of the swans life is
spent in magnifcently concealing the
fact that he is a great coward, except
when he is nesting. for then he is no
coward. There is no passion so weak,
according TO Bacon, but IL mates ana
masters the fear of death" and there
Is no creature so timorous hut in de-
fense of its young it becomes valiant.
Many Thames oarsman, incau-
tiously gliding into a Dackwater when
swans are nesting, has been glad to es-
cape without a ducking or worse from
the infuriated male bird, but with this
incentive TO heroism removed the swan
becomes once more as nervous as a
farmyard hen Yet his dignity compels
him To hide the fact. and for this pur-
pose he Stimulates extreme ferocity
when he Is in the water, and the ap-
pearance of a dog on the bank throws
him into paroxysms of fury.-Good
