THE CHAMPAGNE CROP.

The gathering of the champagne crop"
and the subsequent evolution of the
years vintage are weighty matters, cali
ing for a high degree OF sound Judgment
The champagne maker determines the

Small plantings OF wine vines were
made at Hammondsport. the southern eA-
trenitv OF the lake, as early as 1850, out
q was not until twelve years later that
the industry began TO assume commercial
,mportance. In 1890. when the statistics
of yiniculture were gathered in the united
States FOR the first time, there were more
than 70 600 acres Of bearing vines in the
district and the growers shipped 2O'OV
tons. or 100000 pounds. of table grapes
IN market each fall. In addition some
5000 tons Of grapes were sold to the local
wine cellars (No less than 2O'OO tons or
grapes are called for this season by the
grape Juice bottlers Of the Chautauqua
belt alone)
The bulk of Keuka's crop is shipped by
fast freight train TO the lafge city mar

Household Hints

When opening preserve jar in a
hurry too many use knife to start
with. This is sure to injure the cover
and when preserving time comes again
instead of having air tight cans on
hand, only damaged ones are avail
able. Sometimes the soft metal rim
of the cover can be put into shape
by pressure with hard substance.
Sometimes two rubber rings instead If
one will make the jar useful The best
way to loosen a stubborn cover is
to turn the can upside down and let
the cover rest in hot water. This
treatment is usually loosening and the
jar and its cover are as good as ever
after emptying.

Aviation Race.
(By United Press Associations

| tBy Oniteu fTeSS ASSOclaSlCCS.j
Rheims, Sept. 27.-The internA.
tional aviation cup race will be run
here on Monday with six nations-the
United States, England, France, Ger
many, Italy and Belgium-competing.
The French and United States en-
tries are big favorites today in the
betting. Charles Weymann, repre-
senting America, has done better than
100 miles an hour over a short course
in try-outs. He is admittedly one of
the greatest aviators today and in
competition is expected to do even
better than 100 miles an hour.
The race will be over a 10 kilo-
metre course, 20 laps to the race,
making the distance 200 kilometres or
about 125 miles. The "track" is a
rectangle, four pylones represent
ing the corners. Conditions of the
race permit the aviators to land us
frequently as they wish but any
change in aeroplane is forbidden. The
racer making the best time for the
twenty laps will be declared the win
ner. The starts will be at intervals,
the entrants to draY for places to-
night and tomorrow. Huge crowds
are arriving on every train and the
hotels already are full. Hundreds Of
Americans, Englishmen and Germans
are here, including sportsmen, act
resses, internationally prominent mil
lionaires and high nobility.

snobbery of English people, never ap-
peals to US.
"At our seaside resorts at the pres
ent moment all the young people, and
their elders as well, might have much
better times if they would only join
forces and display a little originality
in organizing amusements. In Amer
lea hotel hostesses have been estab-
lished at summer resorts, and it is
found that the comfort and enjoyment
Of the guests are thereby greatly in
creased. Maybe, that arrangement
would not answer with us, but at
least it is an idea, and may be quoted
as an instance of the continual ef-
forts which women of the new world
do put forward to keep the ball Of
amusement on the move and to find
employment for themselves, while we
stand still and grumble"

Wedding Gifts.

Wedding gifts are sent to a bride
elect within three weeks or a fort
night of the day set for her marriage.
Many persons hesitate about sending
a gift if they have not received an in
vitation to the wedding and this feel
ing is not prompted by cold calcula-
tion, but by delicacy, says the Wash
ington Herald. But as soon as a per-
son thus in doubt receives a card a
pleasant assurance is given and the
gift may then be forwarded. This de-
laying the gift until an invitation is
assured implies only, of course, to a
wedding to which many invitations
are issued. In the case of small,
very quiet wedding, where only in
innate friends are invited to the cere-
mony and reception, or where only
members of the family are to be pres
ent the bride would be indeed bereft
of kindly remembrances from her
friends in general were this rule TO
hold good.
Sometimes wedding cards are re-
ceived conveying an invitation to wit
ness merely the marriage ceremony
at the church. If a reception follows
at the brides late home these cards
for the church do neCessitate the send
ing Of gift, as such cards are issued
to those on formal terms of acquaint-
ance with the brides family.
Only in few instances is it permis-
sible to present wedding gift in per-
son. Very intimate friends and rela-
tives of the bride may do so, but as
rule, even they follow the plan of hav-
ing the gift delivered at the home of
the bride-to-be, accompanied by a note,
or with visiting card with few words
Of good wishes inscribed thereon.
A bride-elect is careful to write
note of appreciation to every one who
sands gift. When she sees those who
sent presents she remembers to re-
peat her thanks in person. The best
rule is to write without delay and to
mention the gift definitely, so that
the note may not be duplicate of
the others.

of single jute yarns, whether bleached,
dyed, ETC., or not, dutiable at 20 per
cent. The senate put all these fab
RIGS, popularly known as burlaps,
when not bleached, dyed" ETC., on
the free list. On those which are
"bleached, dyed, colored, stained,
painted, printed of rendered non-in-
! flamable by any process" the senate
retained the house rate of twenty per
cent.
Chairman Underwood of the house
conferees has contended from the out
set that the house never would yield
on account of the s4,0O0,000. revenue
derived from this product. In the
final agreement, however, the house
not only yielded on free burlaps when
not bleached, but consented to reduc-
tion from 20 to 10 per cent where
the fabrics have been bleached or
dyed. The senate also obtained it's
rate of 10 per cent, as against the 25
per cent of the house rate on bags
or sacks made from burlaps.
The income tax compromise ON in
dividual exemptions results in a dis
elimination and against single per-
sons and practically offers a prem
ium on the married state. A single
person will have an exemption Of only
$4,000 and a married person will not
pay the income tax unless his income
exceeds $4,000.
Senate amendment requiring bot
tiers to pay 25 cents for each stamp
used on distilled spirits bottled in

classification of bottles in which min
eral and other waters were imported

American Entertaining.

In organizing amusements for he.
friends the American woman displays
far more originality than does her
English sister, according to an edi-
torial in an English magazine.
English women are admittedly less
resourceful than their American
cousins" they acknowledge. "Take
entertaining as an example," they
continue, "and it will be seen at once
who is best at the work. The Ameri-
can woman is never content to 60 on
doing just what everybody else does
She casts about till she finds some
way to make her luncheons or dinners
or dances, or even tea parties, little
different from those she goes to. Have
not all the ideas come from America
that we have adopted as crazes On
this side? And there are very many
that would make for more general
liveliness if only we would bring
them across; many, too, that it is just
as well to leave to our unconventional
kin beyond the sea.
Freak parties are not suited to
English taste, nor is it even all Amer
leans who would venture to entertain
in this fashion. However, the point
is that American hostesses, whether
they are Of the four hundred or are
simple country folk, do cudgel their
brains and use their ingenuity to plan
new ways Of entertaining, and one
could wish that we displayed the same
disposition. Young people are always
complaining about the general dull
ness, and in the country it is not to
be denied that girls who do not be-
long to families who can always be-
giving large house parties, and who
possess couple of cars, do have
thin time. But it is largely their
own fault, and certainly that of their
mothers. American women would de-
wise half a dozen ways to make
things hum Even in remote villages
they manage to get people together
under various pretexts. But then
they understand the cooperative
method which, owing to the innate

Suffragists Convene.

(By United Press Associations)
Pittsburg, Sept. 27.-Advocates of
woman suffrage from all over Penn
sylvania are arriving today in great
numbers to attend the opening ses-
sions tomorrow of the annual three
day convention of the Pennsylvania
Woman's Suffrage association. Louis
M. Post, assistant secretary of the
department of labor is slated to make
the principal address tomorrow. The
big feature tomorrow will be the pro-
duction Of the morality play, Every
Woman's Road" written by Miss
Josephine Hammond, of Boston. At
the convention details win be worked
out for vigorous campaign for the
ensuing year in the interest Of sec
uring votes for women in Pennsyl-
vania.
Rome, Sept. PA two-day con-
gress of women was begun here TO-
day for the purpose Of launching a
new movement through Italy to Sc
cure the franchise for women. The
movement has been practically dead
since the death two years ago of
Lady Marescoti, who founded the wo-
mans suffrage orders in Italy. OFF,
cials admit that had Lady Marescoti
lived there is every probability that
Italian women today would have the
right of the ballot. The congress to-
day re-established the national exc
cutive committee which was the prin-
cipal working organization of Lady
Marescoti, and propaganda will be i'm

Premium Put on
Marriage by Bill

Washington Sept. E,-The sum
total of ten hours hard work on the
part of the tariff conferees today was
an agreement TO throw out of the bill
fthe 'anti-dumping clause" of the ad-
ministrative section, place burlaps ca
the free list and adopt the senate ex-
emptions on Individual incomes at
| $4,000 with $1,000 additional in the
case of dependent wife or husband
The exemption of $1,000 for dependent
minor children was eliminated.
With the exception of the income
tax exemption relating to minor child
rem, the senate won a victory. When
Z. O'Clock came it was apparent that
| final agreement could not be reached
even with a night session, and an ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow
morning, in the hope that all diff
ferences might be reconciled then
The house adjourned until Saturday
| and the senate until Monday. The
house hopes to receive the conference
report Saturday, and every effort of
the conferees tomorrow will be bent
toward that result. The only remain
ing, items 10 be disposed Of are COT
ton yarns and cloths, lead and zinc
bearing ores and the dates upon which
the new rates on manufactured wooden
goods and free raw wool shall 20 into
effect
Throughout the day treasury ex-
perts labored over the cotton schedule
estimating revenues and figuring upon
the effect the proposed changes in
the wool rates will have. The senate
conferees are standing out for their
classification in cotton yarns and
cloths, the dispute being one more of
classification than one of rates.
1t was thoeght tonight by Chair
man Simmons that the conferees
could agree tomorrow, but made no
positive prediction. The best any of
the conferees will predict is that 1--WE
are almost in agreement
If the report is made to the House
Saturday there may be political oppo-
sition to it by Republicans because
the Republican conferees have not
been called In to consider the meas
ure. However, the Democrats are
only following the policy Of their Re
publican predecessors
Objections by the Republicans un-
der ten rules would carry the report
over until Monday. General ccnsid-
Grafton in both houses may be short
ened, however, if a full agreement on
all items including the tax on cotton
features is reached. There was an
intimation tonight that this item
upon which the conferences have
agreed 10 disagree will be reopened
An effort is being made TO canvass
the Democrats of the senate. II ap-
proyal Of the Smith-Lever compro-
mise is indicated in this informal
manner, it will be agreed to, and all
the two houses would then have to
do would be to accept the conference
report.
The action on burlaps affords an
illustration OF those "inexplicable |
things" that sometimes happen in
conference committees. The house

The Promised Land.

o song, what rapture did you know
As, bent above her cradle low,
A mother hushed
Her child to sleep with your sweet
strain,
Or when, their life before them plain,
Some lovers sang the sweet refrain,
And smiled, and blushed?
Oft from some ingle by the fire
Old voices seem the tender choir
That raised the song
Or clinging sailors on a mast,
Seeing their hope of life ship past,
Have chos'n to sing these notes-their
last,
Bravely and long.
Ring on, dear song, through all our
days
And brighten still our distant ways,
Where'er we roam,
And let our last swift seconds be,
By distant shores, by land or sea,
Made happy by the thoughts of thee,
Of Home, Sweet Home!"
