Grapes Fresh All Winter.

A clever French process by which vine
growers in France are able to market fresh
outdoor grapes ali through the winter is
thus described Bunches of the finest
grapes when ripe in autumn are cut in such
a way that to each bunch a piece of the
vine FIVE or six inches long remains at
tached From this piece the stems of the
bunch hang, an arrangement vitality neces-
sary to the success of the operation A
large number of wide mouth bodies, filed
with water is ranged ip cellar and in the
open end of each is inserted the pieces of
vine stem, the punches of grapes hanging
outside. The grapes do not touch the
water, but are thus supplied with moisture
through the vine stem, which is immersed
in water.
By this process choice varieties of table
grapes are kept in perfect condition for the
whole winter. The temperature of the
cellar is uniform and moderately low and
care is taken daily to supply the bottles
with the water lost by evaporation. Fruit
thus carefully tended is somewhat costly,
but there are many patrons who willingly
pay two dollars bunch for the delicacy of
fresh grapes in midwinter

Valentine Tapley is past so, and his whisk-

pride, and dislikes anyone who questions
whether they are the longest in the world.
He is hale and hearty and lives an active life
on the farm, doing the hardest of work around

whiskers, but he will not burn brush OF work

the case OF Tapley, for be states that he never
did shave. The beard appeared when be was
10 years of age. Before he was 20 Tapley had
to plat his beard and wear the tip of it inside
his vest. In the next FIVE years he began to
wear it inside of his shirt, The next pro.
vision was to wear il around his body beneath
his clothes.
When the beard was eight feet long it was
declared the longest in the world. and Tapely
received fine offer to exhibit himself in a
museum, but he dsliked publicity and the
thought OF leaving the farm.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April A. 1906.
Last bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance

Rockies by close of 10, great central valleys
IL to %, eastern states IA. Warm wave will

wave will cross west OF Rockies about II,
great central valleys IA. eastern states 16.
This disturbance will come during a spell
of warm and quiet weather and will contain
no features that will be of unusual note.
About the time it will be crossing the contiE-
ent, crop weather will will be fine and for
ward; farming, gardening and the fruit crops
be in good condition, spring weather well
advanced.
But there comes time later iE the month
when bouyant hopes will be chilled by win
terish blasts and cold rains Along and north

expected las; ten days of April and frosts in
places. Next bulletin will give details of
these and severe storms of April Is to %.

Hicks's Forecasts for April.

The first regular storm period, extends from
End TO The 7th having its centre on the 4th By
the Sd, marked fall of the barometer will be
noted in western sections, and a change to
warmer will be advancing eastward out of the
same region. By about the 4th these con.
diIions will grow into cloudiness and rain.
During the 4th, 9TH and 9th, wide areas of
cloudinesS and rain will pass into severe
squall, thunder gusts and hail in various To-
calities.
A reactionary storm period is central on the
9th, 10th and 1lth. Very high temperature,
low barometer and forceful storms, will begin
on and next to the 9th in western sections,
and pass eastwardly across the country from
about Monday the 9th, to Thursday, 18th
Late sleet and snow will most probably attend
tie northern and western tangents of these
storms. Change to decided cooler weather
will follow for several days, causing frost in
many sections during the nights, ranging be-
tween the IL TO 18th. Hail storms will be
most natural results, with violent local gusts,
during the passage of these April thunder
clouds.
More storms of rain and thunder will touch
many parts during the eastward march of
storm areas, from Monday the 10th in the
west, to Thursday the 19h in the east. An
other change to rising barometer and much
cooler will push the western sides of these
storms, causing more very cool nights, with
decided frosts in central to northern sections,
from about the 18th to 21st.
A series of threatening to violent thunder
storms will be natural for three to days. say
from about Saturday, the 2lst, to Wednesday,
the 25th. With the atmospheric pressure
at aud about normal during these disturbances,
nothing more than normal April thunder
showers and hail NAV occur: hut should the
barometer fall suddenly to very low readings,
violent to tornado storms would be quite
probable
Threatening storm clouds will gather, and
thunder storms, with heavy rain and hail in
many localities, may be expected, passing
easlwardly over the country from Friday, the
9th to Monday, the 3Oth.

Drinking By Women.

From the New York American of Monday
In a scsthing sermon, from the pulpit of the
Baptist Church of the Epiphany, Madison
avenue Sixty fourth street, Rev. Madison c.
Peters declared that a woman's only safety
lay in total abstinence, that drinking is now
fashionable in society, and that it is about time
for the country to take notice when France,
of all nations, should begin to preach morality
to America.
The frequency with which even respect
able women drink in public places. - he said,
''is matter OF common observation. and the
scenes which shocked us few years ago are
passed without comment.
There were more than 10000 women ar
rested for drunkenness alone in New York
last year.
1T is a fact, so common has the drink habit
become, that the situation of woman in So
ciety is frequently source of embarrassment
if she does not drink
There are restaurants in this city where
extra charge is made if the diners do not
drink -

Consuls Under Fire.

The President submitted to the House last
week the report of Assistant Secretary of
State Peirce making serious charges against
exConsul Generals Goodnow and McWade
and Consul Williams. The message is ac.
companed by letter from Secretary Root,
in which he says;
II wish to call especial attention to one
trature of these reports. They disclose grave
misconduct on the part of two consus for
merly occupying important posts in the East.
These consuls are no longer in the service. |
regret to say, however. that there are iudica-
tions Of other cases of misconduct or ineffici-
ency among consuls in various parts Of the
world. -
The charges against McWade, former con-
sui a, Canton, are drunkenness, employment
OF telon, issuance Of fraudulent Chinese GER
nhctaes, extending protection to Cinnamon
who claim TO be American citizens, persecu-
ton of American citizens for purposes of re-
veuge and corruption in office.
The charges gainst former Consul General
Goodnow at Shanghai are 81 in number, some
serious and some slight. Some are sufficient
to sapport suits at law and indicate evidence
of corruption in office. The opinion of the
better element was unfavorabe to him in
Shanghai, it is alleged.
Regarding Mr.. Greener, at Vladivostok,
the report says:
Everywhere throughout the East | re-
ceived uufavorable reports of Mr.. Greener.
His habits are said TO be extremely bad. -
Other complaints of him are that he has faults

None hnt the initiated know the aeeu!

None but the initiated know the aecura-
cy required in a printing office. The
average reader who detects miss spelled
word or a letter upside down feels that his
work on earth is not accomplished until he
has called the attention of the over worked
editor to the glaring defect. He does not
notice the thousands and tens of thousands
of letters that are in place or the multitude
of words correctly spelled, but his eagle
eye is glued on the one that is out Of place.
So it is with our deeds. Man does ii
thousand good deeds and no attention is
paid to them, but if he makes one mistake
it is flashed all over the world. A life
time may be spent in building up reputa-
ton that may be wrecked in a moment.
The world is a harsh critic, exacting to a
fault.

Increase Your Happiness.

If You would increase your happiness and
prolong your life, forget your neighbors
faults. Forget the ISLANDERS you have
heard. Forget the temptations. Forget
the faultfnding, and give little thought
to the cause which provoked it. Forget
the peculiarities of your friends, and only
remember the good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all personal quar-
rels or histories you may have heard by
accident and which, if repeated would
seem a thousand times worse than they are.
Blot out as far as possible all the disagree
ables Of life; they will come, but they will
grow larger when you remember them,
and the constant thought of meanness, or
worse still, malice, will only tend to make
you more familiar with them"

The Boy on the Farm.

The boy on the farm should receive en-
courasemen, His is a hard job. There
is nothing under the sun, moon or stars
that he is not expected to do from curry
ing the horses before sunup to milking the
cows after sGndOwn. If he is of school
age he escapes some of the jar of farm
work, but generally finds pretty good
allowance awaiting him when he comes
home. In this day of scarce farm help it
Is blessing to a farmer 10 have boy, or
several boys, for that matter, who can
help. 1t is still more of blessing to have
a boy who does his tasks cheerfully and
well. There is not much in this long
houred apprenticeship except board and
clothes, and so every father should give
his son encouragement. Give him some
of the farm animals which he can call his
own. Let him raise some stock and feed
them on bis own account. He will con-
slider he is amply repaid then for all the
work he does. If this plan were followed
there would be fewer boys wanting to come
to town.

Fence Dragged Him From Train.

Seeking to rest his legs, A. W. Stewart,
who was accompanying a car of poultry from
Valley Falls, Kan, to New York, opened the
door of the car last Sunday and sat down with
his feet dangling outside. While the train
was passing Christiana, Pa, his feet caught
on picket fence and he was dragged from
the train, receiving injuries from which he
died the same night. When he realized that
be must die. he gave physician the address
of his wife and children at Savannah, No.,
and explicit directions as to how the news of
his death should be broke to them.
