Cattle raising, which was formerly
one of the principal industries Of Cuba,
is being encouraged by the govern
nlent. In 1902, 267,2s1 head of cattle
were imported, and out of this mum.
Der 1862 were slaughtered. 1t Is,
therefore, evident that the importa.
tions greatly exceed the need of home
consumption, and with its natural in,
crease and the numerous tracts of land
suitable for cattle raising. it may moi
be long before Cuba will have turned
the tables or the United States in this
branch of trade.

Gambling in New York seems to be
hydraheaded. Last year Mr.. Jerome
asked for an appropriation Of $50, 900
to suppress the game, and after he had
spent it the announcement was made
that the city was clear Of gambling

the board Of estimate and apportion-

that the sum was needed to. secure

Having withdrawn its objection to the

removed all cause for friction with this

enable China to keep all her treaty obli-

to see Russia fulfill its promise to with

SECRET OF CHEAP WINES.
The Manufacture of Fictitious Rever
ages Not Extensive in England.

London News.-Ingenuity, not TO
| say deception, has. according to a
medical journal, entered into the man
ufacture of cheap wines, and many
consumers will probably learn with
surprise that some brands of cham
payne have homemade limitations. A
member of one of the largest firms OF
wine merchants, doing an extensive
business in London and the country,
confessed that the impeachment was
| based on fact, though, he added
solemnly, Heaven forbid that we
should be among those who thus de.
| ceive the public"
The basis Of these cheap wines was
| believed to be grapes concentrated by
evaporation. This fruit was ferment-
ed in England, and the different
brands were prepared by blending, on
scientific principles, the juice of black
cherries, crushed raisins, pulverized
cinnamon and crude tartar. In the
case of home made champagne, cog
nae with the addition of a few drops
OF sulphuric ether and extract OF
celery roots, was ar Indispensable in

And, despite this formidable list
OF ingredients, the wines are palat-
able, though as to the extent to which
the human stomach is benefited or de-
ranged by their consumption | have

Has the excise ever interviewed, in
this phase of English manufacturer"
"A few years ago the attention OF
the chancellor of the exchequer was,

brands bear the names of forefEn,
made wines there seems to be diff
ficulty in bringing them within the
scope Of the excise laws. 1t is, there
fore, exemption from duty that en-
ables the manufacturers to undersell
the retailers OF genuine imported

reason for the cheapness of:the latter
is explained by the fact that ia wine

PHoToeRAPHlNe CLOUDS.

The function of clouds in a photo
graph, says J. Horace Mcfarland in
Country Life in America, is to giyS
what the artist calls atmosphere to
the picture When one looks across
smiling landscape to the deep blue
sky OF q Toudless day, aEe color sup.
plies this element of S<lsance, or at
mospl ere; but the sa b blue sky.
when presented to the Hye as a fat
and UNI Zen expanse of white in the
photogrSM, makes no suggestion of
pleasant perspective. 1t is as if a
white sheet had been hung up immedi-
ately in the rear of the main subject
of the Photographic picture.
If now the sky is changed from its
dead wilderness, and even one single
bit of soft white cloud, such is 80 char
acteristic OF the summer days of Amer.
lea, is introduced, there is an immedi-
ate change, and the distance assumes
its proper relation to the foreground.
But the ambitious photographer who
attempts to take a landscape picture
showing whSe clouds in a blue sky
makes usually a very disagreeable dis
covery when he develops his plate-he
has a solid white sky, and the clouds
are lost, the beautiful distance having
also disappeared with them. Mr.. Nc
Farland describes how to retain the
clouds in a photograph and how to
print in" clouds from another mega
tive if the original photograph does
not have clouds.

HOW TO BE GRACEFUL.

Grace in growing girls is never con-
splcuous posing nor lackadaisical
drawing and Cropping, nor exaggerat-
ed nervous intensity, any more than it
is stolid Quietness or a rude violence
of manner. Grace is much simpler
than any of these things, and in fact
is often overlooked because it seems
SO natural and so absolutely what one
would like to see. Grace is literally
ease of motion. Where motion is
difficult or awkward or overintense
there is q great loss of strength.
