The First Champagne.

When champagne was first in.
PRODUCED into England it a still red
wine. How to make it sparkling and
e%ffervescent was the invention Of
Dom Perlgnon, a Benedictine monk OF
the Abbey of Hautvilliers, who died in
Ills.
The secret was discovered about
1892 and revolutiontzed the trade OF
the district. Whether 1t a entirely
the old monks own invention has
been called in question, but it is GER
tain that he was the first to use corks
for closing the bottles Of wine. which
up to that time had been stopped
merely by hemp soaked in oil. Not
until the end of the eighteenth cen
tury did the sparkling wine become
favored in England.

Indian Rebels
Are Weakening

HARRINGTON, N. H.; Nov. 21.-
The position Of the recalcitrant Ma
yajo Indians encamped on Beautiful
Mountain was made very trying by
a steady rain. The ardor of their
sympathizers was also materially
cooled. These conditions gave en-
enlargement to the Shiprock agency
officials who have been trying to
bring about a settlement without
b%loodshed. The hope was expressed
that continued unfavorable weather
would cause the Indians to weaken
in their avowed determination to
fight if an attempt was made to cap
.ture the seven braves wanted by the
United States court in New Mexico.
Another hopeful sign was the sur
render of one Of the accused In
dams to Indian Agent w. 7. Shelton
Mt Shiprock. The brave was confined
in the county Jail. That order will
be restored and the differences adj
iusted with little actual resistance
was the opinion expressed by Agent
Shelton. if'
The present incipient rising level-
ope from filing with Agent Shelton
in September Of charges of, murder,
bigamy and statutory offenses
against a number of Indians in a re-
mote part Of the reservation known
us the Black Hills. 1t is said the in
formation on which the charges were
based was secured from Navajo wo-
men, who were held at the agency
for their protection. In Shelton's
absence a dozen Indians, including
the accused men, visited the agency,
overpowered the police and carried
away the women prisoners.
