CLIFF VINEYARDS.

The Farmer on the Rhine and the
Difficulties He Surmounts.
Going down the Rhine you get les
son in farming II you wanted to buy
a farm in America you would go out
with a pick and spade and dig holes
all over 4 100 acre tract to make sure
the soil was so and so and that there
was not more than one stone to the
rood. On these cliff vineyards along
the Rhine it looks to you as if there
was not more than bushel Of earth
to the rood and that the rest was all
stone
In America you wouldn't buy farm
on the perpendicular surface Of the
Grand canyon, yet you imagine the
bluffs Of the Rhine seemed almost as
impossible before the enterprising
grapevines got start there. There
may be a few inches Of space on the
cliffs where some German has not
made terrace big enough for bunch
Of grapes, but if any such spot has
been overlooked you failed to discover
it with your binoculars.
There are advantages in owning
vineyard on the Rhine Next to the
financial returns, the chief advantage
lies in the glamour of romance that
hangs over the bluffs. Frowning cas-
ties look down on you from the most
inaccessible peaks.
"Who lives in that big brownstone
house:" you ask German passenger
on your steamer as you round a bend.
THAT is the castle of an old noble
man who kidnapped a beautiful maid
and held her prisoner" you are in
formed when the knights of those
days tried to rescue her, the old noble
man would simply drop a big stone or
two upon them as they attempted to
climb the cliff. One day while rolling
stone down upon a knight the noble
man fell off and was killed

El{YSr OF Youth.

In former times elder flowers were
treasured not only by lovers Of hedge
row beauty but By those who desired
to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered on midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage
water, which was to be drunk daily for
a month, the first thing in the morning
and the last thing at night. This was z
much priced elixir Of youth. By COM
mon consent there has always been
something supernatural about the elder
tree. In Denmark 1t Is protected by
the elder mother, without whose leave
it Is dangerous to pluck the flower. In
Germany the hat should be taken of
to 1t. And IN England it has been
varionsly considered the tree OF the
cross and the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, to be treated with
reverence or fear neutrality-suspicious.

Written on a Slate.

General Lew Wallace wrote the first
rough draft Of "Ben-Hur" on slate,
giving as his reason that erasures could
more readily be made. After satisfy
ing himself with sentence written In
this way he would, with soft pencil,
transfer the writing to paper, and final
ly, when everything pleased him, he
copied the entire manuscript in ink
with the precision Of an engrossing
clerk. It is declared by those who were
personally acquainted with General
wallace that ''Ben-Hur" Vas written
and rewritten at least thirty times, and
that when the final copy was sent to
the publishers there was neither cor
rection nor an erasure throughout the
manuscript. The printer set up the
copy exactly as it was written, and the
author himself never corrected proof
before the book was sent to press.

MAHOGANY.
The Way This Beautiful Wood was
Brought Into Fashion.

The Way This Beautiful Wood Was
Brought Into Fashion.
Every one knows how effective and
handsome mahogany is when used for
good furniture, but few Of US know
how its value was first discovered.
In the latter part Of the seventeenth
century a London physician had
brother engaged in trade with the
West Indies who on one occasion
brought home several logs Of mahoga-
ny as ballast. The doctor was building
a house, and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
orders to the Workmen to make use OF
the mahogany, but their tools were not
equal to the task Of cutting the hard
wood, and the logs were put out Of the
way in corner in the garden.
Some time afterward the head car
penter tried to make box from the
wood, but was unsuccessful with ordi-
nary tools. He told the doctor, who
was interested in the batting timber
and ordered heavier tools to be made
to work It with, says Home Notes.
When this was done and box at last
made and polished, it was so handsome
that bureau was made from another
Of the despised logs, and this was de-
clared by experts to be so superior to
other furniture making woods that the
craze for mahogany set in, and furni-
ture made from it became highly popu-
lar, the then Duchess Of Buckingham
fostering the craze in the fashionable
world.

THE MODERN HOTEL.
/ Product OF the Tfmes, 1t Is Made by
the GueSts

a Product OF the Times, 1t Is Made By
the Guests.
Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern.
ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
US again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns Of colonial
days. In these articles the writer dl-
lates and expahates on the hospitality
OF the old tine tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands Of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
& he will drop sentiment for moment
and give the subject little sober re-
fection that the modern traveller, tour
ist or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the Inn Of a hundred years ago. The
only advantage Of q hotel Of those
times lay in the fact that the lack Of
material comforts drew from +he trav-
eler warmer fellow feeling ard great
er sociability-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
BY coach and the small number thrown
together, en- route OF at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
Bile, but far more desirable than in our
day Of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is product Of the
times. The wants, desires, whims, fads
and, on top Of all these, the imperative
demands Of those who travel have
made the hotel Of today what it is from
the standpoint Of food, accommoda-
lions, method Of service and manage
nent and from every point Of view.
The hotel keeper Of today responds to
the bidding Of the guests. One might
almost say Of the man and woman who
travel: Here is ycur hotel. You have
planned it, furnished it. You have out
lined its methods Of management, and
it IS what you believe should be COM
pretended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would not
be tolerated for moment in our days,
was adapted to its times To speak Of
It as being superior to the modern hos
telry is to claim that the old stage
coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end Of hundred miles
than the palace coach does today at
the end Of a thousand miles, was su-
perior vehicle Of travel to those used
on the modern railroad.-Hotel World

DEEP SEA FISHES.
There Being Nothing Else to Eat;
They Live Upon Each Other.

There Being Nothing Else to Eat;
They Live Upon Each Other.
"!All the deep sea fishes are enormous
EATERS" says naturalist. There be.
ing nothing to eat but the life about
them, they live upon each other. Every
facility for killing and devourinG
is p-ovided-luminesce to dazzle,
swiftness and strength to overtake
and oyerpower, knife blade teeth for
tearing, abnormally large jaws for
crushing. Whatever the prey or how
ever large it may be, there is little
trouble in swallowing it. The mouth
yawns like cavern, and the stomach
dlstends to hold body even larger
than the swallower The appetite in
fishes seems never wanting, and COM
plete digestion with some Of them is
only a matter Of half an hour" For
this reason slaughter goes on unend-
ingly. Usually it is produced only by
hunger, but some monsters, like the
bluefsh, even when gorsed, kill for
pure love Of killing.
OF the eternal warfare that goes on
beneath the surface Of the waves the
same writer remarks: 'They follow the
prey like packs of wolves, and in turn
are followed, band succeeding band,
increasing in size as they decrease IN
numbers. The herrings eat the smaller
fish, even their own young; they are
harried by the bluefshes until trail
Of blood stains the water, while fol-
lowing the blueishes come the insati-
ate porpoises. Nothing saves the
weaker ones but breed. Many thou
sands of eggs are spawned that
dozen or more may be hatched and
brought to maturity. Billions are lost;
yes but millions survive.
"The herrings move on the sea IN
1,ncouutable numbers-in banks that
are miles in length and width, in wind
rows so vast that they perhaps keep
passing one given point in unbroken
succession for months at time. Just
so with the menhaden. a catch IN a
purse net of 100000 is not infrequent.
Such numbers are sufficient to With
stand all the ravages Of the natural
enemy. The bass, the haddock and
the pollock may kill to their hearts
content, and still the menhaden VIII
bold their own:"-Chicago News.

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds. bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one third the time required by
the old treatment. This is the great
est discovery and triumph OF modern
surgery. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t IS an
antiseptic and when applied to such IN
iuries. causes them to heal very quick
lv. It also allays the pain and soreness
and prevents any danger Of blood pois-
oning. Keep bottle OF Pain Balm IN
YOUR home and it will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
yenience and suffering such injuries

The first mention of petroleum IN
America was made by Father De Ia
Roche d'IAllien, q franciscan, in 1629.
1t may be surprise to many people to
know that hoth the product itself and
the names petrol and petroleum were
familiar at least as far back as the
middle Of the fourteenth century. In the
Sloane manuscript fifteenth century,
mention is made both Of rock oil and
Of the correct derivation Of the name.

course has nothing to do with Peter:

oil made from rock-in French, pc
troille.'D The property Of drawing
fire had struck the imagination long
before the work quoted in Mature"
was published. In 1896 Lodge used 1t
in metaphor: "As the clay petrol
draweth fire, so the looks do gather
affection" The word petrol Tor petreolj
disappeared from English and did nos
return until the days Of the motor car
industry, when it was reintroduced
from the French in the sense Of refined
petroleum.

they are often from 500 to COO feet
