WINE MAKERS RISE
French Peasants, 100000 in
Number, Join in Protest.
WOULD STOP THE USE OF SUGAR
Declare Industry Is Menaced ny
Governmental Aequiescence fn the
Practice of Sweetening second and
Third BrewS and Getting Artificial
PrOduct-Demand Recognition.

Paris, May 12.-At least 10000 inhab-
itants Of the Midi met at Beziers to-day
20 protest against the Iamentable state
into which the wine industry has fallen.
Beginning Saturday evening. the roads
were black with people en- route to the
meeting place. and special trains were
run. carrying attendants at half rates.
As examples OF the interest shown.
Capestang. with 500 inhabitants. sent a
delegation Of 4610. and Argelliers.. with a
population Of LOO. sent 1.G00 The resi-
dents Of many villages went en- masse.
No special police service was needed. as
! the manifestation was entirely peaceable.
It was due 70 the sufferings in the Aude
Herault. and Card departments. which
subsist entirely upon viticulture, and
which are unable to sell their wines.
For this state Of affairs they blame
! the government for allowing sugar TO
be used, both for making artificial wines
and for getting a second and sometimes
third brew from grapes after the true
wine is withdrawn. In its efforts to get
the government TO restrict the use Of
sugar. the Midi antagonizes the beet
growers Of the North. whose parliamen-
tary influence has hitherto proved the
stronger.
Protest Against Tax.
II their efforts prove unavailing the
wine growers intend to persuade those
affected TO refuse to pay the government
taxes by an agitation which is likely 20
meet with much encouragement, as re-
fusal 10 pay is already practiced at Argel-
liers. Baixas. and a few other places
To-day's demonstration followed a fail
ure Of congress Of delegates Saturday
to effect an entente with the north. Be
sides the regular trains. which in France
are always more numerous on Sundays
than on week days, sixty special trains
were run to Beziers. The people brought
their food with them. Demonstrators were
lined up near posts erected to indicate
the position of the various sections.
Some OF the delegations we're led by
mayors. some by cures. and some by con-
stables. Even the doctor and druggist
of one village Joined a delegation. which
practically emptied the village.
Come in Varied Vehicles.
Besides the trains. the people came a.
all kinds OF vehicles. on bicycles. and on
motorcycles. and on foot raising clouds
OF dust, which settled thickly over every
thing.
The procession displayed banners read
ing: Republic, be a good mother. Give
thy children bread" NO taxes until we
are appeased," we can die but once"
An empty stomach hath no ears" we
dc not come to string pearls" The Midi
is aroused and "On TO Paris"
After the procession the orators de-
clared that Parliament must heed such
q demonstration.
At Narbonne, the municipal elections
did not take place. all the political par
ties having asked the electors to refrain
from exercising the franchise in protest
against the conditions.

Loneliness of a Great City.

If you live In a large city you are
lost. You are swallowed up By the
ocean Of people around you. You go
down into the deep and that's the last
of you, except perhaps an occasional
bubble that may come to the surface
near where you were last seen. There
are so many people you can't escape
drowning. You can't make friendships
as you do in smaller place, where the
individual isn't entirely effaced by the
mass. Society is not what it is in the
smaller place, where the human ele-
ment enters in altogether. In the larg.
er place your comings and goings are
not noted by your friends even. and
never by the newspapers unless you are
one Of the high fnancierS or packing
house bunch. The births and weddings
in your family are of no more interest
outside of your own fiat than are the
wreaths of smoke curling UP into the
empyrean; no merry crowd OF interest
ed neighborS with their warm congratu-
lati0ns. The deaths bring little sympa-
thy from the rumbling, rafting world
outside; no sorrowing acquaintances
who have stood by you through the long
sickness there is little or none of that
evidence of loving kindness that comes
from neighbors and real friends IN a
small city or town, where the dollar
mark Is not written so large and so
indeli0ly on everything. 1t is para
doXioal law that where there are so
many people there are fewer friends,
and when you diminish the number to
frontier community where neighbors
are miles apart your friends are ready
to take their lives in their hands for
Won

In nowhere else ia the world is the
German empire. There the radish farms
are of huge dimensions, and the veg
etables harvested In carload lots. Ev-
erybody in Bavaria who grows any
thing at all grows radishes, and the
crop finds q ready market throughout
the empire. The Germans, more than
any other people, take to the radish.
Not only Is it regarded as a dainty bite
in palace and howell, but it Is believed
to possess great medicinal properties,
and when all other remedies fail the
Dutch grandmother prescribes radish
Juice. Mixed with sugar candy it is
said to be a sure cure for sore throat
and hoarseness. and for such COM
plants no other remedy is thought of
in the rural communities OF the Faith
erland.
The Bavarians have the cultivation
of the radiSh down to fine point. 1t
is said the radishes raised in that coun-
try are possessed of a favor not found
In the vegetable raised elsewhere, and
those who have sampled the fresh ar

There are long slim white ones, the
short turnip variety, the little red ones
which are shaped like onions, and the
numerous other shapes. colors and ia
vOrs.
AS may be seen In the accompanying
pictures a radish farm in Bavaria is no
small affair, and some decidedly novel
methods are employed in cultivatlng
the vegetable. The way OF obtaining
water to moisten the ground is unique.

To operate the pump two persons get

the horizontal bar, the ends Of which
rest on the upright posts. The pump

as the women are doing in the picture
and swing up and down as one does

The King of Beverages.

Water is the king Of beverages; 1t
IS the beverage to which all turn when
they would cure themselves Of the in
furious habit of consuming other
beverages. Water is the basis of all
other beverages. All beverages Of
mans manufacture are water that has
been adulterated by admixtures and
chemical treatment.
Pure water is the one beverage
which has stood the test of science
and come down to us unscathed
through continuous use for countless
ages. 1t is natures chiefest blessing
to man. Other beverages undergo
many changes with time. Each age
brings them forth in new styles, new
methods of manufacture, new processes
of chemical treatment, aging and keep
ing. Foods change with each success
sive generation. We eat different
kinds of foods from time to time. each
generation prepares them differently !;
there are different methods Of COM
pounding them, different methods Of
cooking them. Pure water is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever. From
long before the time of the Pool Of
Sloan, mentioned in Holy Writ, to
the present time, pure water has
undergone no change, and people have
never lost a taste for it. Other tastes
come and go; the taste for water never
varies. So long as man and beast in
habit the earth the practice" of drink
ing water will never cease.

ebay OF FUNDY DAYS"
e.seeEeGeeGeeegsSegesesE<

~---~~1~IOO-O~~I~~r
The newspapers lately reported the
finding Of a rare pearl in the South
Seas. The pioneer of the Papeite pearl
fisheries, the Pearl King OF Tahiti"
who is about to retire from the bust
ness out OF which he has amassed a
large fortune in the last twenty years,
on one of his last visits to Paris
brought a magnificent pearl valued at
$4,000. A dealer in gems made an Of
fer OF $4,000 for a mate to it. The
pearl King" has just returned from
Tahiti, bringing with him, it is said,
the desired jewel. This is pearl fish
Ing on large scale. Much more mod
est, yet no less interesting, was the
amateur fishery carried on by Louis
Beclse when he was boy, and recorded
in Notes from My Sea Log"
When we were boys In Australia we
had holidays which we called bay o.
Fundy Days" The keeper
was a native Of Nova Scotia, and he
used to tell us Of the wonderful tides
OF Fundy.
Whenever our tides were particularly
low, and a reef two miles away showed
high and dry, we boys had bay O.
Fundy Day." and explored the coast.
We used to go out on the reef TO gather
certain shells, In which we found
pearls. An old curio dealer would give
us from FIVE to ten shillings each for
the larger ones, and for the seed pearls
he paid pound or two an ounce. n
gave us a sum sufficient for pocket
money, but one day we learned how to
increase our small fortune.
All Yam, Chinaman, lived with
fellow fisherman in a hut near our
place. One day he broke his leg, and
our mother was very good to him
through a long and tedious recovery.
His gratitude was unbounded.
One Sunday afternoon All Yam ap-
peared and asked to speak to our moth
er and father in private. They were
closeted for some time, and then moth
er called us in. She said:
Boys, you will be sorry to know
that All and his mate are going back to
China, and you will see them no more.
All has brought me a very beautiful
present"
mo, missee, no." interrupted All,
mot welly beautiful. Just show you I
like you welly much and 1 welly solly
to say good-by."
Mother showed us her hand, in which
lay nine really valuable pearls, the
size OF a pea.
''These are from the same kind Of
shells which you have gathered" she
continued, land All Yam is going to
tell you secret which will be OF great
value to you boys. You will be able to
make a nice sum of money on Bay
o. Fundy Days."
All then told us where to look for
the best shells, and that we should
pick out those which were the most
aged and deformed and covered with
coral growth. He said that he and
Gee Foy had received E270 for pearls
in the three years he had lived near US
After that Bay O. Fundy days were
always profitable. We ran great risks
in diving under the reefs and prying
off the great shells with blunt chisels.
We usually came to the surface with
cut and bleeding hands and heads but
we took little heed of such minor mat
terS
