HOW AND WHEN TO

Dry Brands Only are Healthful and
 Temperature is Important.

NeW York Press.
 The way to drink wine was explained by the representative of a prominent Ohio wine house at a recent convention. The only healthful kind, he saId Is dry wine. This is because 1t contains no sugar and little alcohol. In sweet wine the grapes are very ripe and the fer mentation is stopped after a time, leav- ing sugar. while it had produced more alcohol.

 Wine is like a delicate flower. Temper ature Is most important Champagne should be chilled only once, fifteen or twenty minutes before it is used. Claret after being gradually warmed. should be drunk at a temperature of 70 or 75 de- grees and never excepting with meals Don't add ice and sugar-it makes clarei into vinegar. Drink only sauterne with oysters. sherry or Madeira with soups, Burgundy or claret with meats and en- trees. Leave champagne until after ward.
 Red wine derives its cilor from the skins of dark grapes, though many white wines are made from red and black grapes. but the juice is separated from the skins. Champagne is a blend of different wines, sometimes ten to fifteen being used. One is chosen for it's flavor another for its body. another for some other qualty ana 50 on when plehoeo the combination Is called "cuvee" and after a certain time Is placed in bottles and allowed to ferment for about two years.

Then the sediment settles on the cork During thS two or three months the bottles arC "surpointe they are shaken separately every day.

And, if one ventures forth 1t no longer collects all the passengers aboard that can be crowded into its palsied seats at re- duced fare for every additional passen- ger. Under the Spanish regime the drivers of these carriages could shift on the passengers all responsibility for &C., cidents, and for that reason carelss driv- ing was the rule rather than the excep- tion. The driver who was in a hurry and they were nearly always in a hurry could afford to take such chances as. all questions of humanity aside, are quite impossible to the management of an American line of trolley cars. The naked brown children who play about the white road are therefore safer. since the advent of the American trolley car, than they have ever been in their naked brown lives And the same is of course true of other pedestrians. many of whom, indeed, can now afford the cheaper rates of rapid transit. A circumstance that certainly adds to this security Is the presence among the conductors and motormen of many educated young Spaniards. among whom service of this character has be- COm6 pOputdT. On IHe cars you will find several young graduates of Spanish universities and at least one graduate of Columbia University, New York-a young man who is not merely serving on the platform as a vacation experience but who hopes to rise to an important position later on.
