GRAPES FRESH ALL WINTER
French Device Preserves Them for
the Palate Of the Epicure
in This Line.

A clever French process by which
vine growers in France are able to
market fresh outdoor grapes all
through the winter is thus described.
Bunches of the finest grapes when ripe
I'm autumn are cut in such a way that
to each bunch a piece of the vine five
or six inches long remains attached
From this piece the stems Of the
bunch hang, an arrangement vitally
necessary to the success Of the opera
ton. A large number Of wide-mouth
bottles. filled with water. is ranged
in a 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 i'm
meHed 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 bot
ties with the water lost by evaporation
Fruit thus carefully tended is some
what costly. but there are many pa
irons who willingly pay two dollars a
bunch for the delicacy Of fresh grapes
In midwinter.

WHERE THEY DRINK BLOOD
La Villette, France, Is the Home Of
the Borgian Repast, a Con-
sumption Cure.

Norman W. Dodge, a resident Of Wash
ington. D. c., has just returned with his
wife from a three months visit to Eu-
rope While in France he visited La
Villette. and in speaking Of that visit
Mr.. Dodge described what is known
there as the Borgian repast, a supposed
ly sure cure for consumption and
anema. "I went to La Villette chiefly
to see this Borgian repast," he said to
the New York Globe. Il shall never for
get il. To me it was most revolving
sight and in some ways pathetic. In the
killing house / literally waded through
blood. There were young girls and old
men In the slaughter house, drinking
the warm blood. All were anemic and
in most cases consumptiye. A slaughter
man told me that this practice is a gen.
eral one. Many Of the wealthiest in
Paris 90 down every morning to the
slaughter house, he said, and the price
they get varies from five cents to 81
glass. AS a cure for debility too, and
loss Of appetite, especially, It is recon-
mended by most Of the leading physi-
clans Of France"
