IT HAS COME TO THE FRONT.

The rapidity with which the Disc
Graphophone has come to the front
is due to the fact that the quality of
the records has been constantly i'm
proved, from the time this tpye of
machine began to be made by the
Columbia Phonograph Company,
the pioneers and leaders in the talk
ing machine art. The advantages Of
fiat, thin and indestructible records
were always recognized but the manu-
facturers who attempted to make
them failed so lamentably in pro-
ducing anything to compare with the
cylindrical records used on the
graphophone that the demand for
them was unimportant. All that is
changed the Columbia Disc Records
are delight If you have not
heard them you can form no idea of
the advance that has been made in
them. The disagreeable scratch and
the muiiled effect has been replaced by
% smoothness naturalness and bril-
liancy which gives to thier reproduc-
tion most charming effect.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $l5, SEQ and
$50 Seven inch records SOC each, s.
per dozen; 10 inch records 81 each,
$40 per dozen. The Graphopbone and
Columbia Records were awarded the
Grand prize at the Paris Exposition
of 1900.

Reports about the growth in an
noxation sentiment in Cuba come sc
often and so circumstantially that
there must be truth in them. These
will please the American people.
The Americans have done a great
deal for Cuba, and they wish 1t well
in its experiment of self government,
but they know that fate is against it.
Cuba has no future except as part OF
the United States. Its intelligent
citizens can not grasp this fact toe

Advantages Of the
Good French Wines

Italy and France produce about the
same quantity OF wine, including
champagne, in a year, but while the
value of wines imported into the
United States from France last year
was s5,147,0OO, the value of those i'm
ported from Italy was only $437ooO,
Germany and Austria standing far
ahead of Italy as wine exporting coun'
tries.
In a commercial way the chief de-
feet of Italian viticulture is that the
grapes when gathered are not separ'
ated, and there is no distinction OBJ
served in the planting of the vineyard.
Quantity is sought irrespective of Quail
ity, in the same way that some Italian
grape growers in Southern California
have constructed marvelously large
masonry vat. into which the wine OF
grapes of different varieties is poured
somewhat after the manner of the
Heidelberg ton.
