Wine 1900 Years Old.

Bottles of wine 1900 years old have
been found in a sarcophagus dating from
the first century of the Christian era in
a graveyard at Bordeaux. That is to
say the bottles had once contained wine,
for according to the workmen who dis
covered them they were completely dried
up inside when uncorked. A chemist,
without suspecting the workmen Of hav-
Ing dried the contents up themselves,
analysed a deposit at the bottom of the
bottles and pronounced it to be the resi-
due of what had originally been very
good wine. 1t appears to have been so
good that the owner 1900 years ago de-
cided to be buried with it.-Paris Cor.

GRATEFUL TO MORGAN.
AK les Bains Would Erect Statue of the
FinancieT.

A perfect epidemic of what l might
call statue mania has broken out In
France. Formerly we only erected stat
ues to our illustrious dead, but now we
erect statues to everybody. For instance,
Mistral, the poet of Provence, is still
hale and hearty, yet his statue has been
set up III the public square at Aries.
Now there is a movement on foot at
AK les Bains to erect a statue to it's
patron, J. Pierpont Morgan. One day
the great fnancier discovered that the
main thoroughfare was not wide enough
to permit his automobile and a pedestri-
an to pass at the same time. He imme-
diately gave check to have the street
widened. Now as many as two pedes-
trians and Mr. Morgan's automobile can
easily pass. The grateful inhabitants
have named a boulevard after Mr. Nor
gan, and they want to erect statue to
him as well. You perceive they are
not lacking in gratitude. The Empress
Eugene made Trouville, Mrs Hughes
Hallet made Dinard and certainly Mr..
Morgan may be said to have made AK
We have statues of Washington and
Franklin and Horace Wells, the dentist.
