SWEET WINES AND SUGAR.
Proportion Of Latter Often Quite In.
consistent with the Degree Of
Sweetness Tasted,

1t is not always correct to at
tribute the sweetness of wine to
sugar, it may be due to glycerin or
to the formation as age is ac-
CURED of sweetly-tasting others,
says the Lancet. The presence of
glycerin in wines is frequently
overlooked, and yet this sweet
body is always present, but in
varying amount, according to the
activity of the yeast concerned in
the production of the wine. Some
times the proportion of glycerin
is as much as Observation-Disclosures
volume of the alcohol. We have ex-
amined old wines which possessed
a peculiar sweet flavor yet which
on analysis showed a proportion
of sugar quite inconsistent with
the degree of sweet taste. Such a
wine would be rejected by many
because the sweetness would be
regarded as an indication of an un,
desirable proportion of sugar.
The sweetness which sometimes
develops in old wines may be due
to the disappearance of the acids.
their sour taste masking the nat
ural sweetness of the wine, while
as the acid flavor diminishes by
the separation of the acids in the
form of "crust" the palate more
readily recognizes the sweetness
of the glycerin. Possibly also
as age is acquired the glycerin
combines with the acids, forming
new compounds which are sweet
to the taste. The others of wine
dissolved in alcohol are percepti-
bly, sweet to the taste. In the
same way old matured spirits pos
sess quite a sweet flavor, which,
according to analysis, is due nei-
Their to glycerin nor to sugar, but
to subtle ether compounds.
Sweetness is probably only a
matter of chemical structure, and
given the atoms in a certain posi-
ton in the architecture of the
molecule sweetness becomes a
property Of the substance.

ADOPT MODERN METHODS
Greater Interest Taken in Work Of
Preserving the Forests by Lum-
bering Concerns.

The country is seemingly awak-
ening, says the Seattle P~Ost-Intel.
%ligencer, to the fact that the de-
structive methods of the past
must be abandoned and that it is
possible, by conducting the lum-
bering industry along modern
lines, to have a perpetually re-
newing supply from which to draw
for all time to come, instead of
looking forward to a possible ex-
tinction of the industry in the fu-
ture from a failure of raw mate
rial.
Mr.. PinchOt records that five
great railroads, the New York
Central, the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, the Erie and the
st. Louis & San Francisco, have
each solicited the advice of the
bureau on the matter of purchas.
ing and developing forest lands in
order to provide a permanent sup
ply of railroad ties for their uses.
In Texas two field assistants
are drawing up a working plan
for conservative numbering opera
tions on 100000 acres of land
owned by the Houston Oil com
pany. In Maine, 275,000 acres
have been worked over for the
Great Northern Paper company,
by a party of 80 men, for the pur.
pose of devising plans for keeping
a constant and perpetual supply
of timber for the uses of the com.
pany. A similar work on a sim.
liar scale is being done in New
Hampshire.
Locally, and since the date OF
the report, it is noticed that the
Weyerhaeuser company has in.
vOked the assistance of the bureau
to outline plans for the handling
of its immense holdings for forest
land in the state. Similar work
has been asked by companies own.
ing timber lands in California.
The bureau has thus largely
stimulated private interests il
the work of forestry, without neg.
Letting in any way its work upor
government reservations anC
parks. The work of forest conser
walton, so long neglected, seems ii
good hands at the present time
and there is every prospect thai
interest will be further stimulat
edto the ultimate abandonment oil
former wasteful methods while
there is still a timber supply to
conserve.

ORIENTAL PEWTER WORK.
Quite an Art Among the Chinese and
lapanose-Highiy Appreciated
by Amateurs.

There is no question, says the
Boston Herald, but that antique
pewter from China and Japan is
being hailed by collectors as a dis
cOvery. True, the compound is in
itself nothing so novel. Indeed,
our grandmothers used occasion
ally to get bits of it in the days of
the East India trade, when hus-
bands, SONS and sweethearts
would scurry about the Chinese
ports in search of souvenirs to
carry home to the women folks"
But somehow, in the midst of the
general furore over japanese art
that has prevailed these last few
years, very little has ever been
heard of pewter objects, though
some amateurs have been aware
that it has claims to their cOnsid-
Grafton.
The exhibition of Chinese and
japanese pewter which Paul Chal-
fin, curator of the oriental depart
ment at the Museum of Fine Arts,
is now arranging in cases in the
metal room, is, so far as known,
the first of its kind ever made in
America. a number of articles Sc
cured at the Yamanaka and Mat
suki sales have already thus been
put on view. Some of these spe-
cimens date back to the Sung
or Ming dynasties; others are
quite modern. But all illustrate
the possibilities of this metal in
the hands of skillful designers
who know how to use gold, silver
or brass in connection with it.
In the center of the first case
that has been arranged there is a
large vaselike covered jar, dating
back to the fifteenth century, and
surmounted by a statuette of cop
per, inlaid with brass. This is a
Chinese object, as are two small
tea caddies, with portions in high
relief; two large salvers of pew
ter, inlaid with brass, and a won
derful teapot, with handle of jade.
The Japanese pewter in another
case shows everywhere strong af-
inity with the designs of other
branches of japanese art, and diff
ferentiates itself sharply in many
essential particulars from the
Chinese productions. Among
other things shown are a bowl of
the seventeenth century, with
h~oneysuckle pattern, a very
charming object in color and de-
sign; a large jar speckled with
black-the quality that makes ori-
entail pewter most valuable-and
indicating by its ornamentation
that it belongs to the class that
was once made by special com
mand of the court of Shotgun for
the emperor himself; a very strik-
ing bowl of pewter exterior, inlaid
with panels of brass. The objects
are now on view at the museum.

FOR RATTLEsNAKE BITES.
A Simple Cure Which Is Said to Be
Effective If Not Delayed
Too Long.

Santiago f. Taylor writes from
La Brecha, Sinaloa, Mexico, in re.
gard to the Mexican cure for the
bite of a rattlesnake. He saws.
according to the Los Angeles
Times, it is effective if not delayed
too late:
"The remedy is simply sulphur
and beef suet, mixed in equal
parts into an ointment. Take one
ounce of -four of sulphur and one
ounce of beef suet fried out the
same as hog lard lin fact they call
it beef lard and cover the bite or
wound with this mixture, enough
to be One-eighth or one.fourth of
an inch deep all over the spot bit.
ten. Then apply heat until the
ointment runs well. 1t is not nee.
essary to apply heat enough to
burn the person, only to melt the
tallow and sulphur. The natives
here use a hot stone or piece of
broken crockery, or a macheta or
a sheath knife heated hot in a
hastily built fire. The Mayo Indi,
ands and Mexicans here assure
me it is a sure cure"

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth and
Detectives McDuffie and Renear
rounded up a bunch of Chinese gamb-
lers in a joint at the corner of Bere-
tania and King streets early this morn
ing. Eleven of the Celestials were
caught in an upper room playing a
quiet game and when The officers called
there was a wild attempt to escape
capture. Ten of them were marshalleu
and were being marched down stairs
when the last in line made break for
his liberty. Dashing to the window he
leaped through it TO the floor of the
hallway some twenty feet above the
ground and these the fugitive struck
with such force that he bounced about
a foot in the air and finally struck the
bottom and scurried to cover. While
the deputy was investigating this
mans method of exit he came across
the unlucky eleventh. This individual
was hanging by his finger tips outside
the window. The ten who were cap
tured were booked at the station for
gambling.

AN OCEAN TRIP 80 YEARS AGO
Solomon Townsend's Diary of Voyage to
China on the Snip Washington.

lions of the boundless ocean, but
cannot agree with many of the admir-
ers of nature in their fanciful define
alton of this part of her works. AS
yet. at any rate, have seen nothing
viewing the oceans surface. whether
in commotion or at ease
The night view, however, was more
pleasing, as the author depicts it a
little later:
| THE ship is bounding over the long
waves, nine or ten miles an hour, the
waves surmounted by whitecaps for
several miles. The different objects
on the deck are clearly outlined; the
| steersman at the wheel. the officer OF
| the watch pacing near him and the
crew dispersed a their several stations,
ready to cast off the halliards when
| ever a sudden increase of wind makes
f, it necessary.
''Then the pleasing sensations that
are produced in the beholder are only
countera cted by the recollection that
every wave he is hurried over is a
barrier between him and the country
and those friends whom, perhaps, he
will never see again..
Mr. Townsend tells of catching a fly
ing fish, which the crew called ben
eter" It was cooked, but he didn't
like it, They also harpooned a perpoise
which weighed about 100 pounds. He
liked the porpoise.
He was much tickled when he caught
an aIbatross on hook and line baited
with pork. The bird measured 9 feet
l.. nd
weighed nearly seventeen pounds.
On the eve of the Fourth of July the
thoughts of the traveller turned to
home in the following entry:
"As this day is within but one of
our independence, my thoughts natur-
ally revert to what I was occupied
with at this time last year, and cam
not but reflect how little 1 thought
then that at this time 1 would be on
the Indian Ocean"
Instead of being awakened on the
morning of the Fourth by the sound of
cannon, he was called from his sleep
by the crash of the mainyard on the
deck. The ship rolled ali day and the
gale did not moderate until midnight.
There is a mention of meeting an
English vessel:
I'VE did not give them a chance to
hail first" the diary says, "a priviI-
eye that the vessels of that nation
used to claim in the days of their SUI
premacy on the ocean"
There were English soldiers on board,
and Mr.. Townsend was very much i'm
pressed with their appearance.
There is this entry about the fndif-
of Wa 81
ton: "All they care for Is to get all
