SherrAs Sack.

In Shakespeare's plays the term
"sack" applied to wine is common.
"Sherris SACK" term used by Fal-
staff, is "seco de Xeres," name still
well known in Spain, from which the
wine comes. The epithet seco, or dry
the sack" of old English authors and
the ''sec'' of French writers-is used III
contradistinction to the sweet malvoi-
sizes and muscadels which are made OF
the same grapes. Wine OF this sort,
it is said, was introduced into England
about the time of Henry VII, whose
close alliance with Ferdinand and Isa-
bella was cemented by the marriage Of
his son with their daughter. 1t became
still more popular in England under
Queen Elizabeth, when Essex and
those who sailed with him pillaged
Cadiz in 1896 and brought home the
fashion Of drinking sherris sack.

three or four times. 1t is almost indie
scribable. The jaws were closed as 1t
was made, not even the throat moving,
that I could see. The air seemed to be
blown violently through the nostrils,
though sounding as if driven through
the teeth-a shrilling hiss, fine and
piercing, which one not so much hears

nerves. II may seem strange, but / be-

Fiction In History.

Thomas Carlyle in his history of the
French revolution gives description
of a naval battle June /, 1874, off
Brest between Villaret-Joyeuse, in
command of the French fleet, and Adj
miral Howe, in which he wildly de
picted the sinking of the Vengeur.
These are the concluding sentences:
"Lo, ali flags, steamers, jacks, every
rag of tricolor that will yet run on
rope flies rustling aloft; the whole crew
crowds to the upper deck, and with
universal. soul maddening yell shouts,
Vive la republiquev sinking, sinking.
She staggers, she lurches, her last

down rushes the Vengeur, carrying
Vive la republiquer along with her,

Rear Admiral Griffiths, at the time q

The Hiudoo Saree.

The saree is the national costume of
almost all Hindoo women and occa-
sionally of Mohammedan women In
India. It is an entire cloth, in many
cases eighteen yards long and about a
yard broad In texture the cloth va
ries to suit the poorest as well as the
richest inhabitants of the country. In
the matter of tying and wearing the
garment there Is little difference any,
where The cloth, which has one plain
end, is passed around the loins and the
upper border tied In a strong knot
The cloth is then passed two, three OF
even four times arodftd the waist to
form a petticoat, which, II the saree be

A portion is then plated neatly into
folds and tucked In before so az to

is passed across the bosom over the

In the south of India, however, the
end does not pass over the head. 1t is

Narrow Escape of Gold Seekers.

A small company Of Alaskan gold
seekers were walking across one Of the
great ice fields In that winter bound
country when one of them noticed a
difference in the color Of the ice few
yards before them. Almost as ne spoke,
however, the treacherous coating Of
thin ice across jagged crevasse gave
way, and with an awful cry the two
foremost men went down with the
crumbling glitterlng surface. A third
man would have followed, but his gun
lodged crosswise in the crevice and
saved him. The other two had sunk
out Of sight, only their voices guiding
their rescuers. Blankets were torn into
strips and all the available rope used
as well to reach the unfortunate prison
ers, to whom hatct1ets also had to be
lowered to hack their way out, SO tight
~ had they been jammed In between
the ice powders by their fall OF fifty
feet or more. When they reached the
surface again they were in fainting
condition, and it was many days be-
fore they recovered from the effects of
the time spent in that icy tomb.
