Fig Wine.

Consul Maxwell Blake of Funchal
advises that some interest has been
aroused in the island of Madeira as
the result of experiments conducted
by an Italian chemist, Professor Pa
gisci, who declares that the juice Of
the fig under proper treatment can be
converted into wine of excellent
taste.
The professor states that its flavor
Is agreeable; that 1t is very rich in
phosphate matter and almost wholly
destitute of tannic acid, qualities that
render it especially nourishing to in.
valids and children. The pulp is said
also to create a new food for milch
cows and fowls. The fresh fig con.
tains only about rs per cent of sugar
but after it has been dried and pre-
pared for the making of wine it yields
80 per cent sugar.

When Eating Causes Colds.

If one who has caught cold will
take thought, he will often find that
he has prepared himself for the in
fection by some tax on his physical
condition-some extra work which
has depressed his bodily powers, some
worry which has preyed upon his
mind, some loss of sleep, some undue
exposure to atmospheric changes, = or
some dietary indiscretion, says a
writer in the Youths Companion.
For indiscreet eating is one of the
most prolific and yet the least recog-
nized of all the predisposing causes
of a cold.
Let the hearty eaters Of rich food,
who suffer from repeated colds, try
course of abstinence during the
coming winter, and they will become
convinced of the truth of these re-
marks. In this case the proof of the
pudding is in the not eating of it.

THE TALKArIvE MANS REVENGE.
Bidden to Hold His Peace, He Proved
Capable Of Doing So.

1t was probably that feeling of good
comradeship which comes to nearly all
travellers which caused a man on one
of the Philadelphia sightseeing auto
mobiles to put questions, point out
details and air his views generally the
other day to woman who sat beside
him. The woman was middle-aged and
otherwise ineligible for a Irritation,
but she didn't like the mans volubil-
ity, nevertheless, and showed her abil-
ity to put stop to it.
Sir" she said, after a few attempts
on the part of the man, you annoy
me. 1 don't know anything about
Philadelphia and have no information
to give. If you will kindly mind your
own business I shall be grateful.
Needless to say that the talkative
sightseer retired within himself and
made no further remark during the
trip. At it's conclusion the woman
wanted read a slip which she took out
of her pocketbook, but when she
reached for her eyeglasses she found
nothing but the chain on which they
had been fastened to her bosom.
She finally, after useless search,
brought herself to ask the man who
had wanted to talk if he had seen any
thing of them. ooh! yes" he replied:
they fell off on Spring Garden street
near the United States mint. saw
