THE WINE EXPERT.
lie MUST BE AS TEMPERATE AS AN
ATHLETE IN TRAINING.

Ey Sight, Smell ana Taste He Tests
the Quality OF Liquors and Hence
He Must Lead n Life at Once Rig
orous and Ascetic.
Many hotels and restaurants of I'M
portance as well as many wholesale
and retail liquor dealing firms employ
Il wine expert. 1t is the duty of this
man to pass upon the quality OF all
wines, brandies, WHISTLES and other
alcoholic beverages handled by his
house. He works with an empty SOM
nch, and he makes his tests through
the three senses of sight. which tests
tho spirits color and clarity; smell,
which tests Its odor, and taste, the
most important sense, which tests Its
flavor. To keep these senses ut once
delicate and sharp the expert must not
use tobacco, and In the use of liquors
he must be temperate TO the point Of
teetotalism.
If two glasses of champagne are set
before clever wine expert, one
champagne of the vintage of 1864, the
other of the vintage of iSSS. he will
tell readily which is which. There are
indeed half dozen vintages which he
can designate by their taste alone
without the helpful presence of the
labeled bottle.
The wine expert must also have a
profound knowledge of red wines.
Among the red wines of France he

ronnc from those OF Burgundy and of
Dauphiny.
In the white wines also he must be
learned, and he should have no diff
Guilty In distinguishing the champagnes
of Sillery, OF Ay, OF Reims and Of
Epernay and in distinguishing also
their best vintages Among the other
French white wines he must know
those of Sauterne, Barsac, Preignac
and Bommes. And the Spanish white
wines of Xeres, the German white
wines of Johannisberg. Steinberg and
Hockhelm must be like old time friends.
Whistles and brandies are divisions
of his work that are as important as
the wines. He must tell ut glance
whether brandy has been aged in
wood or IN glass, and he must not only
separate with ease the Irish. the Scotch
and the American WHISTLES. but he
even must designate the districts In
which each was distilled.
Considering his knowledge the salary
of the wine expert is not great. It
averages $40 q week. Occasionally 1t
falls as low as sos. and occasionally 1t
mounts to munificence.
The expert must not eat rich. heavy
foods and pastries. lie must not keep
late hours. Ills life, In word. must
be as temperate MS that OF an athlete
in training. This is In order that his
senses of sight and taste and smell
may be at their best always. Smoking
IS bad for the smell: rich foods are bad
for the taste; late hours or any sort of
dissipation, even the mildest is bad
for the health generally and for all the
senses. sight In particular; hence the
rigorous and ascetic life OF the wine
expert.
The wine expert works with stomach
empty, for then his taste and smell are
at their keenest. He works ON bright
days only In a room flooded with sun
light, for then he can best weigh a
liquors color and lucidity. He uses
glasses OF the oldest shapes-a differ
ent glass almost for every liquor-for
these help him to distinguish the most
delicate gradations Of smell and color.

THE NEED OF COURTESY.
II Is to business and Society what
OIL is to Machinery.

II young people, especially In small
towns, would form courtesy clubs" OF
graft this idea upon existing organiza-
tons, 1t would result In great advan-
tage not only to the young people be-
longing to such ASSOCIATIONS, but also
10 the towns themselves.
We find great many men and wo-
men side tracked all along the path
ways of life because they were not
taught the value of good manners and
Of fine, gracious courtesy in their
youth. The result is that they have
grown up hard and coarse and repul-
sive In manners and have not been able
to win favor or attract trade or busi-
ness. In other words, their bad man
ners and repulsive ways have kept
them back and handicapped their ca
reers.
1t is astonishing how fine manners
and politeness in children develop into
ease and attractiyeness In manhood
and womanhood. Other things being

ners. a fine. gracious demeanor, good
presence. These qualities are the best
kind of capital, even better than
money.
Everywhere we see young men and
young women drawing big salaries
largely because Of their superior polite
ness. The fine hammered are wanted
everywhere as superintendent, as
statesmen, as travelling representatives.
as clerks. as private secretaries or as
credit men. In fact, agreeable deport
ment is the one indispensable quality
sought after everywhere.
There is nothing else which will so
quickly open the door to opportunities.

Courtesy is to business and society

things run smoothly. for II eliminates

One of the most extraordinary tales

Strnnse Craft.

A traveller says: THE strangest craft
! have ever seen We're the balsas of
Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Peru.
These balsas are made of an aquatic
plant growing in the waters of the
lake. The principle on which they are
constructed by the Aymaras Indians
proves their ingenuity. A bale of hay
naturally floats In the water, and ac-
cording to the quantity of dried grass
used in constructing the boat do they
control the displacement or carrying
capacity. These boats are likewise fit
ted with mast and sail, and in some
instances carry from eight TO ten per-
sons. The Indians travel long distances
over this vast inland lake, the surface
of which Is on level with the summit
of the Jungfrau OF the Swiss Alps"

The BIenheim Spaniel.

1t Is Evolutionary custom In the
Marlborough family for each duke to
present Blenheim spaniel to the duch-
ess when she enters Blenheim palace
for the first time as its mistress. The
story from which this custom had its
origin is that during the battle Of Blen-

the great duke throughout the day,
never leaving him until victory was
assured. aud the duchess, the famous
Sarah Churchill, in memory of the in
cident forthwith adopted the spaniel
