RARE OLD ToKAY WINE.
Nearly Three Hundred Years Old and

81 visited a cellar of Tokay lately"
said a hotelkeeper, according to the
Washington Post. 'Tokay is the only
wine that keeps on improving indefinite
ly. There was wine nearly 300 years
old in the cellar. Its price on the market
would be easily $50 quart
The cellar was very carefully kept. l
seemed to inhale cool, velvety whiffs OF
rich fungus at every step. A slight haze
hung along the top of the passages-a
haze that seemed TO be made Of the
visible aroma Of rare wine.
81 was surprised to see that the bottles
were kept upright and that the corks
were very loosely inserted. Old Tokay
must be kept like that to maintain q
perfect condition for 1t, and, thanks to
the loose corks, a sample, even Of the old
est vintage, may be taken out and
tasted at any moment. A bottle OF
Tokay may be shaken without risk Of
its turning turbid.
Nobody knows why old Tokay is so
good. II is no longer made-just as
genuine Madeira is no longer made. The
secret is lost, like the secrets Of the old

Twice-cOoked foods are much better for

should talse the white Of an egg and
whip it to foam. Upon this she should

until it is a standing foam, which will
take some minutes. She should then put

whatever their reason may have been

Jacob Burkett, of Nebraska, will be

ator from that state as the successor
Of Senator Dietrich. Mr.. Burkett was
born December l, 1867. This makes
him about four years younger than Mr..
Bailey and about five years younger
than Mr.. Beverage, Of Indiana, who
has been a close second to Bailey for
the distinction of being the most youth
full member of the senate.
All three of these young men might
pass for having fewer years than they
can lay claim to. Mr.. Beverage IN

ate. He is of rather fair complexion,
with dark brown hair, smooth face, and

ing and a thoughtful expression that

thoughtful expression are those Of q

ever, was born on October 6, 1863. while
Mr.. Beverage was born on the same
day in 1862.
Mr.. Burkett would easily be taken
for Mr.. Beveridge's senior. He has a
rather heavy. dignified appearance and
isvery formal In his address. He rep
resents the possibilities of the Amer
lean boy and his biography shows that
he has won his senatorial toga by merit
and hard work. He was born on farm
In Iowa and had the usual experience
of q western farmer lad with ambitions
that looked beyond the cornfeld. He

at the state university Of that state, be-
ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He
