Costly Wines.

Our millionaires think S75 a gallon
for rare old Madeira an utterly impos-
sible price simply because their tastes
are blunted by champagne, and they
care no more for a bottle of Welsh Re
serve, Newton Gordon or ChillinGs-
worth-O OglethOrpe than for a cheap
sherry. In the famous cellars Of the
Hotel de Vile at Bremen there are a
dozen cases Of holy wine which have
been preserved for go years. A mer-
chant figures out that If the cost Of
maintaining the cellars, payment of
rent, interest upon the original value or
the wine and other incidental charges
are considered a bottle of this choice
Madeira has cost no less than $1,000
600, each glassful $270.OOO, and single
drop could not be sold without loss un-
der 5000.
1t is probable that this very old wine
is worthless on account Of starvation"
Charles Bellows, our ablest authority
on Madeira, says that it becomes
starved after feeding upon its own
lees for 30 or 40 years. at seems 10
me that 1t is very human and requires
cOmpanionship, he says. "Demijohns
of the same variety should be blended.
The marriage of the two wines would
probably give the lees more character,
and the wine would thus continue TO
improve. This certainly ought 10 be
done as tonic after the Madeira has
been 80 years in glass. New York

The pecullarities OF asthma are we'll
known, and one New York woman
thinks that she has more than usual
reason TO complain Of the vagaries OF
the disease. She had always lived in
the lower part of the city on one Of the
avenues distant from the two rivers
and bad suffered in no unusual degree
from asthma when the weather was
not unfavorable The doctor was not
consulted when her husband bought
house In another part Of the city, and
1t is indeed doubtful If he could have
foreseeD the effect upon her of living
In the new neighborhood.
1t took the sufferer only few hours
to realize that It would be impossible
for her to live in the new house, which
was only short distance from the
North river. Her discomfort became
so great that she was compelled at the
end of n week to give up all attempt to
reside there, and the house that had
been built with so much care and ex-
pense had TO be abandoned.
Another example of the vagaries Of
asthma Is to be found In the case of
New Yorker who is comfortable enough
In this city so long as he lives on the
upper stories of lofty hotel or other
residence building, but is In great dis
tress so soon as he is compelled to be
on terra firma.-New York Sun.

When the stern Duke Of Wellington
was prime minister under George ",
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con.
stantly outwitted him. One Of bis
earliest official acts was to bring be
fore her a court martial death sentence
which he expected her to sign as q
matter Of course. 4 soldier was to be
executed for desertion, and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes,
full Of tears, to his face, saying:
Have you nothing TO say In behalf
of this poor man"
Nothing" said the duke, standing at
attention Ike one Of his own privates;
"he has deserted three times"
"Oh, your grace, think again" plead
ed the queen as If she were asking for
the life Of her dearest friend.
well, your majesty, he certainly Is
a bad soldier, but there was somebody
who spoke for his good character. He
may be tolerably good fellow in civil
life"
"Oh, thank you" said the queen in
heartfelt tones, and before the aston
ished duke could utter word of'pro-
test she had written across the paper
the word "Pardoned"

Our Last Cargo of slaves.

Captain Foster was the commander
of the slave ship Clotilda that brought
the last cargo Of slaves to the United
States. The trip was made only after
many thrilling scenes requiring weeks
Of skillful maneuvCring and dangerous
exploits Just before the north and
south engaged in war Captain Foster
built the ClOtilda and announced that
he would make trip to the gulf OF
Guinea despite the fact that United
States war vessels had burned and
sunk the ships of many who tried the
voyage. He was warned repeatedly OF
the dangers attached to such an under
taking, but he equipped his ship and
sailed away.
He reached the African coast after
going out of his course many times and
remained along the coast for month.
He succeeded In getting 100 negroes on
board before he was detected by the
watchful vessels of the United States.
He was pursued, but easily outdls-
tanced his pursuers, and two months
later arrived In Mobile bay with his
human cargo. A steamboat met the
slaveship during the night. and the
negroes were transferred in order 10
avoid the custom house officials. Cap
tain Foster set his vessel on fire and
passed through Mobile without being
detected. The government authorities
hunted for him for months, but he
eluded them until the close of the war,
when he retired from the sea.

How TO Fricassee ChIcksn.

the chicken to just cover up to the lev

brisk fire. When it has boiled - min

back on the stove, when it will simmer
slowly till very tender. Then add q
pint Of cream, and when it begins to
bubble again thicken it by stirring in a

is not fat, add tablespoonful Of but

Following the same rule of harmony,
The Designer, the source of the Illus
trations, advises as follows:
Whatever colors appear In the fit
ments or decorations of the dresser
should be repeated In those of the wash
stand. If the cover, pincushion. etc,
OF the former are pink and white, for
instance. the toilet set should be of
pink and white china, and If pretty lit
tie silver articles are laid out on the
dresser top the metal should appear In
the mountings of some of the boxes,
brushes, etc, on the washstand.
One Of the prettiest and newest ideas
Is TO have the toilet set and the dresser
ftments of cut glass, even the wash
pitcher, which is In large size. and the
bowl or basin being Of the transparent
substance, those who are using the sets
declaring they are no more likely to
break than fine china. Very little cut
ting Is used on the pitcher and basin,
both appearing as If made from clear
ice, but the smaller pieces of the set
are more elaborately decorated, the
powder box, scent bottles. pin trays.

celain but little gold appears in the dec

japanese, Moorish and Mexican wares
In brilliant coloring and queer shapes
are also In favor, but these SAVIOR more
of oddity than of daintiness.
No lace or embroidered covering ap-
pears on either stand or dresser, the
highly polished wood being rightly
deemed handsomer than any fancy COW
ering could be. Protection can be
given and the polished wood displayed
at the same time by having small mats
of fine linen, Irish crochet or renais-

SALT AND PEPPER.
Both These Articles Highly Valuable
In "a HyGienic Sense.

In n HyGienic Sense.
A writer In the New York Evening
World says that salt and pepper are
not only of value in bringing out the
flavor of the food to which they are
added, but are very valuable from
health standpoint.
In eastern countries the condiments,
such as pepper, are used to profuslon I'D
all foods. Gastric troubles, common
enough in other countries, are conspic-
uously absent, and the free use of pep
per has much to do with that fact. Salt
and pepper work against fermentation.
When the stomach is out of order or, as
the common saying is, upset, it Is In
state of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimpOrtant thing and com
mon sense the important in making the
sick well Is advocating the use of pep
per and salt even in glass of milk. 1t
improves the flavor to a remarkable de-
gree, fact you can prove to your own
satisfaction by taking two glasses or
milk, one in It's original simplicity, the
other changed by the addition OF
pinch Of salt and dash of pepper, then
sip n little of each. The chances are
that you will prefer the seasoned milk.
Besides improving the flavor and
overcoming the tendency toward fer
mentation, the pepper will practically
disable any microbes that may be float
ing In the fluids. Thus the gastric juices
will perform their perfect work of
changing microbes to food.

In case of fire If the burning articles
are at opce splashed with a solution Of

q preparation which can be made at

kept on hand Dissolve 20 pounds Of
common salt and 10 pounds Of nitrate
Of ammonia In Z gallons Of water.
Pour this into quart bottles Of thin
glass, and fire grenades are at hand
ready for use. These bottles must be
tightly corked and sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flames so as
to break and liberate the gas contain
ed. At least two dozen of these bottles
should be ready for an emergency.
In this connection it IS well to re
member that water on burning oil scat
ters the flame, but that flour will extin-
guish 1t. Salt thrown upon a fire
If the chimney Is burning Will help to
deaden the blaze.
If fire once gets under headway, a

The Mayor Who Couldn't Spel "In."
During the several terms that Tim

of his colleagues from Manhattan was
Colonel Jack Adams, who, a lawyer,
while he and Mr.. Campbell were in

time working off practical jokes at the
expense of the east side statesman.
Tim had been In and out of Tammany

pending on whether his claims We're

A very hot political canvass found
Tim one Of the Stanchest adherentS of
the Hall Colonel Jack had had a fall
ing out with the powers and was just
as strong on the other side. Tim took
this very much to heart, as his admira-
ton for his fellow congressman was
very strong. He concluded that, where
all others had failed to bring Colonel
Jack back into the fold he CTim) could

WHEN THE BEES SWARM.
How to Hive Them With n Basket.
Phe Queen Trap IA Neat Affair.

Phe Queen Trap Neat Affair.
If the cluster is low, it is easy to
hive swarm of bees Slip a basket
right up under the cluster and jar the
limb If the bees have clustered high
up in tree, get pole long enough to
reach them and fastcn the basket to
he end of it. \ common peach basket
Will do very well. When you have the
basket right up under the cluster, give
the pole a sharp jerk upward, which
motion will jar the limb and the bees
will drop into the basket. Have the
hive under the tree and dump the bees
in front of it, and they will march in
like m army. The hives should bC
raised an inch or two in front to give
them air. The bees will commence to
give a cOntcnted hum, and If there are
any remaining on the tree they will
hear it and join the rest. In the even
ing the hive can be carried to the loca-
tion where it is to remain.
Sometimes a swarm will cluster on
the trunk of a tree or wall; then it will
be necessary to use brush to get
them into the basket. The ringing Of
bells and beating Of pans and all such
notions are of no avail. y first swarm
will most always settle. | have never
yet seen 1t to miss, provided the queen
was with them. and if the queen is not
with them they will most surely return
to their hive. Sometimes n swarm Will
hang on tree all day, and then again
they may depart in little while. 1t is
better to hive them within a half hour
after they have issued il possible.
Still a better way is to have queen
traps on the hive to catch the queen.
With the queen traps it is n delight to
hive swarms. When the swarm issues,
the queen cages herself and cannot
leave witt the bees. Tie swarm will
cluster Oh some tree. when the apiariSt
can replace the old hive with an empty
one and place 'hc tiap with the queen
In front of the new hive on the old
stand. The bees will remain from 10
to 90 minutes, when they will return
and enter the new hive. The apiarist
can then release the queen, and she
will run in with the swarm and the
hiving is done, says f. @. Hcrman in
Farm Journal.
