IMPROVED WINE MAKING.

A new process for producing wine
from grapes, particularly red wine,
has been devised in France, with the
result that better wine, with more
color, more body and an increased per-
centage of alcohol, is produced from
any grade of grapes. The process, as
described by the Scientific American,
consists in subjecting the grapes to
the action of heat and pressure, in
stead of using them cold under very
slight pressure. By means of the heat
a complete solution of all the red col
oring matter of the grape in its own
juice is affected. The must" more
over is sterilized, so that fermentation
is obtained superior to that of normal
samples from the same grapes by the
old methods. Thorough experiments
were made with the vintages of 1897
and 1898, both in Tunis and France.
At seven different stations trial was
made by heating 100 tons of grapes. It
was observed that grapes when heated
lose their resistane to pressure to a
notable extent, so that the yield of
juice is larger than when not heated.
The red coloring matter is dissolved
freely and the juice has richer color
than is obtained in the old way. All
the mines thus made, without excep-
ton, have been better in all respects
than those from the same grapes I'M
der traditional conditions. A negative
result of the experiments was the ap-
parent demonstration that special fer
ments have little value. Ferments Of
various kinds, including some of the
most celebrated high-grade wines.
have been introduced Into the steril-
lied must" but tasters have been UNI
able to detect a difference between
wines made with different ferments
from the same must. In districts in
fected with the "tourne" disease the
wines made by the new process are
the only ones that are exempt from
deterioration.

The revenue cutters of the United
States, as you may know" said an
officer of one Of them, who likes his
little joke, "confine their services,
which are really invaluable to the gov
eminent, to the coast, and it is a rare
thing indeed for any one of them, ex-
cept those of the Boring sea patrol, to
venture any distance out to sea. Nor
is this rule an unsatisfactory one, for,
say what you please about it, sea SER
vice is not as pleasant as the novelists

believe. Indeed, the sailor who prefers
the bounding pillows, a wet sheet and
flowing sea and all the rest of it to
calm and peaceful shore snap is the

story, which applies to the cutter
Grant, when she was doing duty in
New York bay and vicinity. Some
thing had happened to call her out
down the shore somewhere, and she
left the bay one afternoon, and early
the next morning, while she was howl

hour, she hailed big FOUR master.

from the Grnat.

SOUTHERN FRUIT CROP.

Positive announcement comes from
Georgia and Florida that the fruit crop
escaped serious damage from the Sc
we're weather of last week. The
Macon Telegraph, which is published
in the great peach center of Georgia,
comedies that it was narrow shave
for this fruit, and that a few degrees
more of cold would have killed nearly
all the peaches in the state. AS it is,
there is practically no damage, and
fruit growers are beginning prepara-
lions to handle what may be expected
to be the biggest fruit crop in the his
tory of the state Through the efforts
OF the State Entomologist Georgia
orchards have been almost entirely
freed from the San Jose scale, and, al
together, the outlook could hardly be
brighter for the Georgia fruit inter-
ests. From Florida comes the crafty
ing announcement that while there
was some damage to the early veget-
ables, the orange and other fruit have
almost entirely escaped what was
feared would be great disaster. AL
together, the fruit growers in Georgia
and Florida are confident in realizing
largely on the coming crops.

A TRIUMPH OF FASHION.

The French government has
emerged victorious from the struggle
raised by the proposal to bestow the
decoration of the Legion of Honor on
an eminent ladies' tailor of Paris and
thus is the eternal fitness of things vim
dictated. Certainly if the vote on the
question had been taken among the
women of the United States they
would have been unanimous in favor
of decorating one who had done SO
much in the way of decorating them.
That was a shrewd F'renchman who
remarked that all over the civilized
world no woman could wear bonnet
that was not, Of Partisan design. And
the supremacy of France in the matter
of fashion is something not to be over
looked by it's government The late
Herr Teufelsdrckh sagely defined man
as "a clothes-wearing animal" and
the definition applies to woman even
more distinctively than to man. And
certainly the genius which represents
French pre-eminence in designing the
gowns that enhance woman's beauty
at least deserves a decoration that is
said to be as common in France as
the title Of colonel in Kentucky.

one of the rings worn by Captain
Logan The Blackfoot who had it had
obtained it from another Indian, who,
in a fight, had killed the Nez Perez
who wore it, and had removed it by
chopping off his victims finger, just
as Captain Logan's finger had been
amputated. twenty-five years after
the battle in which these rings were
captured squaw at the Browning
agency attracted the attention of
Agent Logan by a ring worn on her
finger. 1t was plain gold band, on
one side of which was Maltese cross
in red enamel, and on the other side
the square and compass engraved. 1t
was his fathers second ring. The
squaw who wore it had traded some
pelts for it and knew nothing of it's
history Agent Logan traded it into
his own hands, and now wears the seal
ring on his third finger and the Ma
sonic ring on his watch chain. He
will not venture to try either ring on
the little finger. Recalling the rude
method adopted to get them off of two
fingers, he prefers to try one on an
other finger, just to change the pro-
gramme in case an envious person de-
sires to obtain it without his consent.

produce striking combinations at many
points of view, though it may be said
that the picturesque is attained at the
sacrifice of consistency. The most i'm
portant alterations were made by the
Right Hon. William Conygham in
1856, after the designs of James Watt.
The grounds are extensive. and ex-
tremely beautiful, present much in

Killeen castle, for many centuries
the residence of Lords Killeen and
Fingall, is in the same county. The
castle was originally built by De Lacy
in $780, but has been much altered and
enlarged since then. It possesses but
few traces of great antiquity, having
been in many ways rebuilt after the
designs of Francis tombstone towards
the close of the last century. The
Plunket family branched into the two
houses of Killeen and Dunsany about
1870. The two sons were married on
the same day, and it was agreed that
the boundaries of their respective
properties should be determined by the
swiftness of their wives, who had to
start at the same moment from Killeen
and Dunsany. The boundary of the
estates was fixed at their meeting
place.

tire upper part of the body was thus
marked. The young men of the nation
also subjected themselves to the tat
tooing process by being tattooed first
on the nose, like the women, and not
until they had given evidence of their
courage were they privileged to re-
ceive tattoo marks on any other part
of the body. This testimony of their
merit as warriors was reserved for
them when they had distinguished
themselves in war by killing an enemy
in battle or by bringing with them
from the field of carnage the scalp of
an enemy taken in the fight. When
they had thus given evidence of their
worthiness to be ranked among the
warriors they had the right to tattoo
their bodies with emblems and figures
illustrative and commemorative of the
incident in which they had proved
their valor.
Every man and woman among the
Indians yielded to the arbitrary GUS
tom of tattooing, but the warriors,
above all, were carried away by this
OO4 y VI vanity, anu uOL one Oh CQdC
class by any chance allowed his OPP
portunity to receive this patent of
knighthood to pass by neglected. One
of the ordinary methods adopted by
warrior to commemorate heroic deed
in battle, in which he possibly had
killed Or in some way overcome an
enemy, was to cause a tomahawk to
be tattooed upon his right shoulder
and under it the hieroglyphic sign Of
the nation to which belonged the con-
quered man.
The operation of tattooing required
considerable fortitude to be borne
without SO much as wincing. A de-
sign was first drawn on the skin, and
this design was then pricked with six
needles, firmly fastened on line in
fat piece of wood. After this finely
powdered charcoal was rubbed into the
punctures made by the needles, leav-
ing an ineffaceable print of the design.
The operation caused much inflamma-
ton and sometimes fever, which
brought on severe sickness in case the
patient was neglected while the swell
ing lasted. While the sickness re-
manned the only food given was Indian
corn, and water was the only drink

it is built on the banks of the River
Liffey, there more of stream than

a fine and massive building, consisting
of a central block connected with two
pavilions by semi-circular wings, the
whole building being built in the Ionic

hall is truly palatial, whilst the grand

ARE EXPosITIoNs INTERESTING?

The Electrical Review finds the
world less interested in expositions
than it formerly was. The idea was
fairly new one when snow of in
dustries was made at the London
Crystal Palace half century ago. The
French afterward, with their genius
for spectacular effects, developed the
idea and made it impressive. They
carried the art of displaying methods
OF production and products to great
perfection. In point of size and in
some other respects, perhaps, we beat
the world in 1883 at Chicago. Now
the French are making a great effort
to surprise or impress the world anew
this year at Paris with an exposition
that is to sum up the achievements of
the nineteenth century AS for the
Paris exposition, ''it will be-" says the
Review, "of course, very beautiful and
probably well-managed, but it is
doubtful whether the American exhib-
itors who participate in it will be
awarded by large profits. To put it
plainly, people are tired of expositions,
and the expositions themselves have
shown a tendency of late years to de-
generate and to allow the 'side-show'
element too much prominence"

Ireland has many fine old castles,
prominent among which are Howth
castle, owned by the earl of Howth.
Slane castle, owned by the marquis OF
Conyngham, Killeen castle, owned by
the earl of Fingall, Rockingham

seemed to vie with one another in the
plumber of the taxpayer. From the
north, the south, the east, and the
west have come the same complaints
of excessive burdens. But figures are
needed to give these statments the
vividness of reality. Beginning with
national expenditures, Mr.. Roberts
says that during the decade from 1920
to 1880 they were SLOT per capita;
from 1851 to 1861, they were $206; and
for the year 1894, $6.08. I'm word, :"
he adds, "the per capita expense of
the national government in 1894 was
nearly six times as great as it was in
1920, and nearly three times as great
as it was in the decade before our
great civil war" The per capita ex-
penditures of the state of New York
in 1880 were $1.30, thirty years later
they were $1.89, in 1890 they were
$215, and Gin 1897 the estimated per
capita expenditure reached the alarm
ing amount of $495." That is to say,
the combined expenditures of the state
and national governments gave a rate
as high as that prevailing in France
before the outbreak of the revolution.
THE tendency to increase" says Mr..
Roberts, commenting on these figures,
lis a persistent one. In 1881 the
amount expended by the state was
$9,878, 21459; in 1884, $10,479,51731; in
1887, S14,3O1, 1O2.48; in 1890, $13,076,-
SS1.S6; in 1893, $17,367 1858; and in
1896, $2O,O20,022.47." Coming to mu-
nicipal expenditures, where the hand
Of the prodigal has been most lavish.
Mr.. Roberts says that between 1860
and 1880 the municipal debts of our
union increased from $10O,000,000 to
1852, 900, and in fifteen cities, be-
lieved to represent the average, the
increase in taxation was 1922 per
cent, while the increase in taxable
valuation was but 1863 per cent, and
of population but 70 per cent. In the
year 1860 the direct taxes for state.
county, town, and city purposes in
New York were $4.90 per capita, in

A NEW TEXAS WONDER.
Performs Marvellous Feats With Both
Winchester and Colts.

There is perhaps no part of the
earth in which the art of marksman-
ship has reached such a height of de-
velopment as Texas
Perhaps the cleverest marksman
ever Texas has produced is youth
called Petmecky, who has only just
emerged from his teens, who could,
even as a schoolboy, almost perform
miracles with rifle and revolver. He
could put bullet through the head of
a duck, goose or quail flying swiftly a
quarter of a mile away, and send two
or three more bullets through them
before they fell.
He could write his initials with bull
lets on the bark of a tree while rid
Ing past it at full gallop, firing with
such rapidity as almost to make the
bullets melt in the barrel. He could
shoot the ash off cigar in the mouth
of man 100 yards away, and bore a
hole through the ace of diamonds at a
similar distance.
A favorite trick of young Petmecky,
whose father, by the way, is a gun
smith, is to throw a brick into the
air, break it in two with one bullet,
and then break each Of the two falling
halves with two other bullets before
they touch the ground. At long range
he is equally successful, and nothing
that moves within a mile is safe for
a moment from his bullets.
Another Texas marksman of almost
equal skill was "Jem" Howson, a
farmer, whose rife and revolver were
so deadly that he was held in almost
ludicrous respect by his neighbors.
E-owson could hit the edge of a card
held at a distance of fifty yards, nine
times out of ten, and could send bull
let after bullet through the same hole
in the card. He could shoot a dollar
from between the thumb and fore
finger of man standing one hundred
yards away; and could bore holes
through two dollars thrown into the
air at the same time
