sage from Operator Phillips of the
Titanic read:
Come at once, Its c. D. O., old
man"

If trellislng Is pre- ferred convenience may again be regard ed in the selection of posts, as on ac- count of their small size 1t is not difficult to replace them when needed.
 The old theory was that the scupper- nong vine did not need pruning, but the recent investigations of Professor Illus mann of the United States department of agriculture and of other careful observ- CTS show that the scuppernong vine, whether grown on arbor or trellis, do bet ter If properly pruned. The grapes grow in small clusters. each of half dozen berries or less, like punches of cherries.
 When ripe the fruit is not picked by hand as you find in other vineyards, but on account of the high running vines the grapes are shaken into large sheets of burlap or cloth spread underneath tho vine. The growers sell their crors not by the ton, but at so much bushel. The scuppernong grape has a peculiar flavor and odor which are always recognizable in the vine. The qualities of the fruit are such that they are not easy to han dle in a dry wine, and so most of the scuppernong is made Into sweet wine.

The First Picture Postal Cards

From the Chlcago Tribune.
 In Nuremberg they have been making arrangements to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the picture postcard with a congress and exposition this year. Un- fortunately for their plans, however, it has been discovered that the first picture post card was not made in Germany or sent from Nuremberg, nor was it born in 1SS2, as they had supposed
 The distinction of making and mailing the first Is claimed by Leon Bosnardeau. a bookseller of Sile-le-Gulllaume near Conlie, department of Sarthe, France. In lS5o during the war with Prussia. he printed pictures on postal cards he was sending to clients NJ Besnardeau is still alive and there are many of his old customers in France who have the cards as he poster them. The Germans adopted the idea for the Nuremberg exposition in 1SS2.

Germans Kill Storks

From the London Evening Standard.
 No one who has had any delight in Hans Andersen's tales can hear unmoved that the storlS has fallen upon evil times. Four years ago 1t was noticed that they were building less on Turkish housetops, and their diminishing numbers were regarded by the superstitious Ottomans as an evil omen for the future of the race in Eu- rope. On leaving Europe at the end of summer they seem to penetrate far down the interior of Africa. One that had been caught and marked in Prussia was cap tured in Natal, near Colenso, of evil mem- ory Whether the disappearance of wild animals from South Africa before the ad-
 vance of the settlers also affects the storks is question. not yet settled.
 However that may be, attention is be-
 ing drawn anew to their dwindling num-
 bers in Aisace, now that they are getting
 ready to leave for the south. German
 scientists have ascertained that they are
 also getting fewer in the Palatinate, Hesse and Franconia. The country peo- pie are making valiant efforts to main tain tho numbers of their visitors by placing artificial nests on the roofs of their houses, and even by feeding them arthcially.
 But the storks in Germany have to con tend with prejudice most difficult to eradicate. They are looked upon as enc | mleS or SIiOTt. IL IS true that they SOtne- times raid the families of hares or find their food in ponds well stocked with fish. But the damage they do in this way Is negligible in comparison with the great l boon they confer on farmers by destroy ing mice and moles.

F rom the American Wine Press.
 The scuppernong is the popular grape with the people of the southern states, and they are also fond of the vine. But the scuppernong vine Is in a class by It. self. It Is the near descendant of a wild species, and retains many characteristics of the uncultlvated vine, which loves to run when and where it will.
 The vines are propagated from runners which may be had from any established vine by pulling or digging up the over hanging and rooted branches. These should be set out in the fall. and may be trained either on a scaffold or trellis. the former requiring less attention. while the latter affords easier access for pruning and gathering the fruit and gives the vine more fruit bearing surface.
