WEDDING GOWN MoRALIzING.
In Many Cases There Is Too Much
Made of the NuptiaI
Outfit.

OF perennial interest to women is the
wedding gown. But Folly is justified
of her children, and a pretty wedding
is very pretty sight. But for all that
there is too much made of the wedding
gown. The newly-engaged girl, with
few exceptions, as soon as the ex-
.citement of the proposal has abated
somewhat, begins to think of and to
discuss her wedding gown, says the
Washington Star. Is 1t to be oyster or
ivory white satin? Is 1t to have a
court train? Is the trimming to be
lace or chiffon? Are the orange bios
SONS to be real, and will it be proper
for her to wear her "pearls?" The
latter point is left undecided, for who
can tell the form that the gifts of the
bridegroom-ele will take? These
may be diamonds! The engaged lover
so often breaks out into diamond stars
for the hair! If the engagement is
short the matter of the wedding gar

INTERVIEWED GRAPE JUICE.
recommended aS a Drink by Govern
ment Experts to n Tenn
perate Nation.

The Greeks had two kinds of wine,
protoplin, or the first juice of the
grape before pressing, and deuterion,
Or the pressed juice The Romans
called them vinum primarium and
Vinum secondarium.
Some of the Romans drank the Juice
before fermentation had started, call
ing it mustum, and some of them pre-
ferred the juice when it had been
heated, and was known as frutum;
while still others took theirs when,
after being reduced in bulk by one
half or two-thirds by heating, it was
called sapa. The Romans used sapa
as some sweet-toothed persons use mo-
gasses on bread, says the New York
Sun.
Unfermented grape Juice has valua-
BILE medicinal qualities, which have re-
suited in the establishment of so-called
grape cures in European wine-produc-
ing districts to which physicians send
debilitated patients during the season.
The department of agriculture is en-
deavoring to have Americans who have
vineyards take up the manufacture Of
unfermented grape juice, and the gov
eminent has just issued a bulletin CIV
ing directions for the treatment of the
grapes. George c. Husmann is the au-
thor of the pamphlet, and his direc-
lions are so plain that any housewife
can make unfermented grape juice for
family with very little trouble.
All that is needed is that clean,
sound grapes, well ripened. but not
overripe, shall be crushed and pressed,
either in small cider press or by
hand
To press the fruit by hand, the
crushed fruit should be put in cloth
sack and squeezed. Then the juice
should be heated in a double boiler,
so that it shall not come in contact
with the fire, to temperature of 1876
degrees Fahrenheit. The juice should
never be heated above 200 degrees.
This heating prevents fermentation,
and makes it possible to keep the Juice
for long periods.
After heating the juice should be
allowed to settle in clean vessels, and

the bottles in which 1t is to be kept.
The bottles should be heated to about
an inch of the neck and then placed
on false bottom in a water boiler,
with water up to an inch of their
mouths.
The water should be brought to
simmer. Then the bottles should be
taken out, corked with corks that have
been boiled in water of 240 degrees
Fahrenheit, sealed with wax and set
aside in a cool place to be used as
wanted.
If the sterilization is at too high a
temperature, or the grape juice is not
filtered, the final product will be
cloudy, and may taste little off.
Those who may wish to make I'M
fermented grape juice in larger guam
titles kill the yeast by burning sulphur
matches made of strips of linen soaked
in melted birthstone, in clean cask
until they will not burn in it, filling
the cask third full of grape juice,
agitating and repeating the process
until the cask is full, but they must be
careful or the juice will taste of the

LOOKING FOR A LIAR.
One Against Whom the Natives Were
Afraid to Enter Into
Competition.

There's a town up on Lake Mich
igan which 1 shall keep away from in
future" said a Detroiter who had just
returned from two weeks vacation, re-
lates the Detroit Free Press. ut was
recommended to me in the highest terms
as a place where one could haul out fish
by the hundred, and l engaged board
and went up there"
"And found no fish, of course" OBJ
served a listener.
"Oh, yes, did. never saw such
them out"
Then what was the trouble?"
THE people. l never saw such lot
of men in all my born days. Almost
everyone was a fisherman, and almost
everyone was good talker but there
wasn't a liar among the lot"
But why were you looking for liar,
If may ask"
Because I couldn't catch anything
much heavier than 12-pound musca-
longe myself, and yet knew that there
were far bigger ones in the lake.
wanted to hear from the chaps who had
caught old suckers weighing 80 pounds.
I bought them beer, and gave them to-
bacco, but 1t was no use. They wouldn't
lie. AS last resort I got two of them
down on the dock one day and offered a
dollar to the one who would tell the big
gest fish story. They scratched their
heads and hitched around, and one of
them finally said:
avail, bein' you have driv me to
At, I want to say that l once caught
pickerel weighin' seven pounds. Yes,
did, and I've got witnesses to prove it,
"And the other sat and thought awhile
and then said:
"T don't want to take the dollar
away from Jim here, but bein' I'm forced
into it, I've got to say that year ago
to-day hauled out Teller that weighed
seven pounds and two ounces, and was
blind in one eye to boot"
"But you say that you caught 'em
yourself weighing IL pounds?" was quer-
led Of the excursionist, after the laugh
had subsidized.
From ~ to 15," he replied.
"Then that explains it. They didn't
want to try and out-lie a strange
liar"

Lions Eat LahOrers.

According to St. George Whitehouse.
the manager and chief engineer of the
Uganda railway, with the exception of
few unimportant temporary bridges
which will have to be replaced by steel
structures, all being within 80 miles of
the lake terminus, the line from Nom
hasa to Port Florence is completed.
Trains now run through without
change Of carriage from the sea to the
heart of Africa, distance of 5S4 miles.
The same gentleman, discussing the diff
fculties which have to be surmounted,
says: Not the least of these has been
caused by the wild animals along the
line. Lions very seriously interfered
with the work of construction and at
mile 1872 once nearly brought work to
a standstill. No fewer than 81 railway
employees have been carried off by lions,
and probably there are more of whom
there is no record.

TALE OF A THOROUGHBRED.
Virginia Country StOrekeeper who
Knew How to Be Court
eOus to n Boy.

at is positive fact" said a pros
porous elderly hardware man, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press, that the
old-time manners of business men were
more studiously polite than business
manners nowadays. In this rushing
age, the successful business man has to
be more or less of hustler and hus-
ting, insensibly perhaps, is bound to
impart short, curt, hurried air to all
business courtesies. Haste and what
used to be called gentility cannot grace
fully go hand in hand.
when l was little country black
smiths boy, half a century ago, was
one day sent on horseback to the near
est country store, three miles away.
1t was my first trip from home, and l
felt stepped in Importance and bashful-
ness. AS l logged up to the rude little
cabin in which the crossroads store was
kept, tall, slim country man, the
keeper of the store, came out to greet
me. He accosted me with gentle, con-
siderate manner which l had never be-
fore encountered, lifted me down from
IllS -oeiSh W Hull was my Ouly Sdu-
die, tied the old mare to the rack for
me, asked me my name, and why had
never been to visit the store before.
People may smile at old Virginia stock;
but the man who kept the country store
was the son of Virginia pioneer, and,
through long life, do not recall ever
to have met more thorough gentle
man, in the best sense Of the word. His
polished courtesy was as readily extend
ed to bashful little country lad as If
the boy had been kings courtier.
After my purchases were made, and
the sugar and coffee were put into my
gunny-sack, was assisted to mount,
and sent on my way happier boy for
having met that kind and pleasant man.
His name, l learned at home was
Clement N, so named my first colt
Clement N and nearly killed him feed
ing him generously because his name
was Clement NJ
1t so happened that never saw the
man again; but because he was thor
oughbred never have forgotten him."
