Wines of Old Rome
, the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
Nearly 80 kinds of wine were known
to the ancient Romans, including sew
eral varieties used for medicinal pur-
poses. FaIernian was a home wine,
resembling the modern Madeira, and
was not commonly used until 1t was
10 years old. After it was 20 years
old 1t affected the drinker unfavor-
ably. causing headaches.
other wines were foreign. Chan.
also called Ariusian, of which there
were three varieties-austere sweet
and intermediate-and the Lesbian,
considered to be a, diuretic, were OF
this kind Some wines were named
after their color, as white, dark and
red. The white were thought to be
dark colored and sweet the most
nourishing; the red the most heat
ing.
Certain wines named Myndian,
Halica rnassian Rhodian and Coan,
were made with salt water They
were considered not to be intoxicating,
but to promote digestion. Two wines,
Onidian and Adrian, were also medici-
nal. Mustum was term applied to
wine newly made, or the fresh juice
of the grape. Protropum was the
juice which runs from the grapes
without pressing. Mulsum was mix
ture of wine and honey Sapa was
mustum boiled down to a third. De-
frutum was mustum reduced to half.
and Carenum was the same reduced
to a third Passum was a sweet wine
prepared from grapes that had been
dried in the sun. Passum creticum,
also sweet wine, is believed to have
been the same as the wine which our
forefathers called Malmsey, the wine
In which the Duke of Clarence,
brother of Edward ". elected to be
drowned.
A wine called Murrhina has curl
GUS history. The Greeks had a wine
of this kind which consisted of pure
wine perfumed with odorous sub
stances. The Romans had a wine
similarly named, which Is supposed
to have been wine mingled with
myrrh. 1t was administered to those
who were about to suffer torture in
order to intoxicate them, and to re-
move the sense of suffering
These ancient wines retained their
Mace probably until the end of the
Middle Ages. but there is no reliable
evidence bearing upon this point.
Very slowly the names. rather than
the wines. changed generally. The
ancient wines, even those In use In
Shakespeare's time seem to have been
less charged with alcohol than the
wines of the present day Even

With the celebration, September %, in
rommemoration Of the birth of Admiral
Raphael semmes the Confederate vet
Grams of Alabama win receive for the last
time the southern cross of honor bestowed
BY the Daughters of the Confederaey.
For Is years the members of the U. p.
c. have been comforting these crosses the
Idea having originated with Mrs. Ann
Cobb Erwin of Athens, Ca. as q means
wnereby The veterans should receive pub
lie recognition of their service, and the
daughters at the same time procure and
preserve for historical purposes the war
records OF the men of the Confederate
army.
1t has been a noble work, inspired by
ftntiment and devoted loyalty to the
cause, and has brought the happy light of
appreciation into many a tired eye. The
cross, now so familiar wherever the Con-
federate veteran makes his home, was de-
signed by Mrs. S. Il. Gahbett of At
lonta, VINO for 1--WE years was its GUS
todian, being annually selected by he gem
eral division, l. d. c. Seven Years ago
Mrs. Gabbett was succeeded to the office
oil custodian by Mrs. l. II. Raines of
Savannah, who has been successfully
elected ever since owing to her splendid
ability and accurate handling Of the enor-
nous work of the ofrice-a work, the re-
enumeration of which is the knowledge of
duty well done and the pleasure and BEN
eft it is TO others,
Since the election of Mrs. Raines the
work of comforting crosses of honor has
been most systematically arranged and
carried on, there being a recorder of
crosses elected by each state division to
receive and pass upon all applications of
her respective state. Mrs. j. A. Roun-
tree OF Birmingham was appointed to that
office for Alabama at the time of it's
creation seven years ago, and has been
reelected to the same each year since.
