Everywhere you go in Italy you find
this same gentle courtesy OF manner

when he cheats you-and the town
Italias,, at any rate, never loses an OPP
portunity in this direction-he does it
with smiling grace that is well worth
the money. A London cabman who
grumbles at your shilling, grumbles
like bear, leaves you irritated by his
bearishness, makes you think i'll of the
whole tribe of cab-drivers. An Ital-
ian cab-driver-better still a gondolier
of Venice-swindles you with an ex-
quisite charm. He will rapidly paint
picture of the wrong you do him by
not allowing yourself to be swindled.
He will call to witness the bystanders
and will appeal from earth to heaven
He will overwhelm you with a torrent
of words, cajole you, and finally, with
some pennies over and above his due,
will drive off, protesting he bears you
no ill-will.
From Vine to Wine.
From the picker's hand TO the
baskets carried yokewise across the
shoulder or else on the back, from the
baskets to the huge tubs on the oxwag-
ons, from the tubs to the press or the
treading cart. These are the stages in
the transformation of grapes into wine.
red or white. White, if you separate
skins and stalks before the grapes go
into the press; if everything goes In,
red. The Italians are careless wine
makers. They are not so particular as
the French about what goes into the
press. Therefore is their wine rougher,
lacking the quality of sickness which
wine merchants do so extol. Finally.

tubs, and then comes the work of
casking. After this, all that remains
is to dispatch the casks to purchasers;
or, if the wine is to travel far, to fill
one of the enormous tanks upon wheels
that one sees at the railway stations.
The Italians do not do much with the
industry of bottling their wines. Ev-
erything goes into casks and is dis
posed of that way.

be DESTROYED in the same manner


may be destroyed in the ssme manner
as other squash bugs, but one of the
best methods is trapping. This bug
remains in the field very late, and this
fact makes it the easier to trap it.
This may be accomplished by setting
out a few late cucurbits as trap crop.
After the old vines have been destroyed
the bugs will congregate on the later
plants and here can be more success
fully dealt with. A good way would be
to distribute these trap plants about
the garden patches and set fire to
them when the bugs have congregated
upon them in sufficient numbers. This
could readily be done by throwing upon
the plants dry straw or similar mate
rial and adding little kerosene.

Horticultural Observations.


Apples should not be repacked II 1t
can be avoided. Once packed they
should remain packed till they reach
the consumer. The repacking causes
additional bruising and the bruised
parts are always susceptible to fungus
growths. H. M. Dunlap says that the
failure Of the Canadian apples in the
exposition at Paris was largely due to
the tact that they were repacked before
reaching their destination. The addi-
tlonal bruises they received brought
tnem onto the tables in Paris in a bad
conoltlon, while the American apples
mat were not touched from the time
they left the shippers on this side till
.ney were taken out of the boxes or
parrels In Paris were in fine shape. 1t
IL without doubt true that American

Especial letter.

The first sign of vintage is usually
at Padua. In the September sun may
be seen here and there large carts
with men in them, dancing vigorously.
Why they danced appeared from the
thin stream of pale red that ran into
tubs below-wine making was going
on. This simple method of wine max
ing is only practiced, however, on a
small scale. The farmer makes his
own wine thus, and the small inkeeper,
and serhaps the INDECENT landed pro-
prietor who is far from wine presses
and such-like conveniences of out later
civilization. All the wine that is like
ly to be set before the high-stomached
Signor Inglese is made in the press.
But the more ancient method is the
more picturesque.
Brings Back Middle Ages.
That street scene in Padua brought
back in flash the Italy of the middle
ages. 1t was close to the great church
of st. Anthony of Padua, and a stream
of pilgrims was just pouring out, SOL
emn in their demeanor, for they were
of staider, more northerly race than
the cheerful, irreverent Venetian after
an exposition of relics. A little earlier
in the day they had been praying earn
estly to the saint and kissing, in the
ecstasy of their devotion, the marble
of his stately tomb. Was it the end
of the nineteenth century, or was 1t
the time when that great statue OUT
side the church-the first equestrian
statue in the world, they say-had just
been set up to keep in mind the deeds
of the famous condottiere, whose meth
DDS of warfare are commemorated by
his nickname of "Gatta malata," the
patient cat? The hard, white sunlight
and the cool, gray stone of the arcade
can have looked not otherwise than
they do today, and no doubt the me-
diaevel wine-traders were just such
merry rogues as these, and made equal
ly witty remarks about the aspect of
pilgrims and the oddness and curios-
ity of strangers.
