JUDGES OF WINE.
The Pocket Nerve More Potential Than
That of the Tongue.
: - -

Many people claim to be judges of
wine," remarked an old citizen yester-
day; Sin fact, they resent any implica-
ton that yhey cannot tell a good wine
from a bad wine.
"ApropOs of this, | recall an incident
which happened here some time ago. The
proprietor of wine shop, which he had
bought from a former dealer, lock, stock
and barrel, discovered one day u barrel
of sherry which was not on the inven-
tory, and which proved to be sherry of
hne quality. He searched the invoices
but could not find any trace as to where
il came from. He wanted to order more,
but TO one knew anything as to its orr
gin.
HE, of course. intended to sell it. and
he had the sherry bottled. He put three
kinds of labels on the bottles, all OF the
wine in them being the same. On one
bottle he marked the price as 81, another
S3, and another 81. He sent samples of
each to various prominent citizens in
town, explaining that he had some fine
varieties of sherry, and asking their opin-
ION as to which was the best. In nearly
every case the most wealthy of the citi-
zens said that the highest priced wine
was the best and the 81 quality decidedly
inferior, and they ordered some of the
81 brand. Those who were not quite so
wealthy expressed their choice for the
~ kind, and ordered some of that. while
the ones who could not pay over 81 said
mat was by far the best wine of the lot"

SOAP IN THE GINGERBREAD.
A Product of the Maine Forest Which is
Said to be Luscious.

did We ever eat hot gingerbread with
soap in it," asked Frank Brown, the
oldest camp cook on the west branch,
who boasts that he has made more than
1000 barrels of -four into cream of tartar
bread in the course of twenty-six winters
in the forest EFF We hain't ct it, you
don't know what's good"
why, a lumberman would no more
think of eating gingerbread without soap
into it than he would think of drinking
new rum without molasses. They al
ways 90 together-soap into the ginger
bread and molasses into the rum, and
both are jest about as good as is made.
MY rule is to dissolve a hunk of hard
soap as big as hens egg in a gallon of
water, then pour in a gallon of molasses
n half pound of baking powder and stir
in the -four until the dough will almost
run. Then grease yer pans, slap in the
mixture and chuck it into red hot oven.
when it comes out all golden brown
and full of sweet bubbles that smoke
when you break them open-the man
who won't eat such food isn't fit to live
or die.
You can't tell me that soap ginger
bread amt tit TO eat. I've eat it more
than twenty-five years, and I'm jest as
sound today as | was when l first tasted
the food. "-Ireenbush (Me.) dispatch 10

Bird's-Eye View of Forest Fires.

slopes of Mount Rainier last week Arthur
Hunter, mountaineer, witnessed scenes
of awful grandeur. 1t was given to
Hunter to view from his eminence forest
fires raging over "A hundred miles away
IN Oregon. Flames shot upward from
the tops of hundred-foot trees, and above
them rose tremendous clouds of smoke.
As he looked the flames crossed the Co
lumhla river, and simultaneously another
grea hre began, sweeping westward
from Wind river valley. Hunters posi-
ton gave him panoramic view embrace
ing the Columbia river valley, Gray's
harbor, 100 miles away To the westward.
Puget sound, to the north, and British
Columbia in the further distance. The
distant fires climbed higher in the tree
tops and then the great scene moved.
The smoke poured high into the heavens
and rolled forward toward Puget sound
and the Pacific ocean. Soon the smoke
became one great blanket which over
hung all Western Washington. shutting
out sunlight and compelling the lighting
of lamps everywhere.
Gradually the clouds Of smoke rolled
higher and higher. until they finally
crossed the summit Of the Cascade noun
tainS and spread their hot breath over
Eastern Washington. Angeles
