ALGERIA'S WINE CROP YIELD
Product, Distinctly Inferior to That OF
Previous Season, Will Total Only
About 15S,502, 300 Gallons.

The wine crop Of Algeria is distinctly
inferior to that of year ago. The Of
flcial statistics of the vintage will not
be issued for several weeks; but, ac
cording to the general estimate, the
yield approximates 100000 hecoli
ters (158,6O2,300 gallons), compared
with 8,7S1,266 hecoliters (231, 1915, ,1O0
gallons) in 1916.
The seasons unusual dryness, which
lasted from spring until the full ma
turity Of the grape, states Commercial
Reports, has resulted in wine appre-
ciably stronger. Phylloxera and other
plant diseases did considerable dam
age to the vines; and the late siroccos
further tended to reduce the output.
The lack of labor was also handi-
cap, especially In the department OF
Oran, which was unable to draw upon
Morocco to any extent.
Prices range much higher and the
return to the wine producers promises
to be good. Transportation facilities
to France-which country takes a
large percentage of the crop-are far
from normal, and there is likely to be
q marked shortage in barrels and bot
ties.

Salvage Corps at Battle Front.

According to the systems now estab-
lished In modern warfare, it Is stated
by war correspondent, a salvage
corps is daily going over all the ground
near the battle front exposed to fire,
and is gathering all the debris dis
carded by the contending armies. None
of the scrap is neglected, with steel
worth one shilling to one and one-half
shillings per pound, and copper and
other metals in proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various mu-
nitions that modern army uses.
All the lead that is fired is prac-
tically lost, as bullet travelling at q
velocity of 1000 feet or more per sec
ond buries itself so deep into any OBJ
ject it hits as to be lost entirely. 9th
er metals, however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces of shells. bits Of copper, pieces
of aluminium, etc., are carefully collect
ed and later turned into usable condi-
ton.

Why She Cried,

A couple of men were talking about
their respective wives the other day
at the club.
'You have a very sympathetic wife,
I should say" remarked one.
81 don't know about that" hesitated
the other.
"Well, only judge from what / saw
from my house the other morning
when you slipped and fell on the steps
as you were coming out with her.
Why, I saw her actually crying over
it,
The other man didn't look pleased
at all.
."Yes," he admitted reluctantly. "She
cried, but not over my injuries. l sat
down on that confounded dog Of hers" :"
Indeed! 1 didn't hear him howl"
swell, I should say not. The dog
weighs-or did weigh-two pounds,
and l weigh 200"

Patents Authorized by Congress.

A patent is an exclusive grant or
monopoly by authority of congress. The
first patent law was approved April
10, 1890, year after the Constitution
was enacted. We were not very in
ventive people at that time, perhaps,
because there were not many of us,
says an exchange. Only three patents
were granted during the first year
after the daw was passed, 33 the Sec
ond year and II the third year. The
patent Office was originally attached
to the department of state, but in 1849
was transferred to the interior depart
ment. Under a law Of 1842 patents
were granted for only seven years.
The time was afterward extended to
IA and then to II years, the present
time.

NO MILK FROM CHINESE cow
Only to offspring-Used Only for
Draft Purposes.

Americans who travel through the
Interior of China greatly miss Cows
Milk and Her Butter" as a Japanese
sign puts it. The people of the Orient
use little of either. Mares milk is sold
to invalids at high price, because the
Chinese believe that it is a source of
great bodily strength, says the Youths
Companion.
But the natives use cows solely for
draft purposes and, having earned her
living for years in this manner, bossy
stands upon her dignity when Ameri-
cans demand milk of her. To her off
spring she will give it, but not to man
If by any possibility she can avoid it.
In Japan there are now few Am
erican-bred cattle, owned by foreign
ers, that make the native cows look
like goats. One of these cows was i'm
ported into Korea by a missionary, but
he had difficulty in getting his coolie
to tend the beast. The servant was
fresh from his country home, where he
had heard little and seen less. He
took the cow for an elephant and fed
before her.
In Korea the little native COW is
petted darling that has been INDUCED
to such an extent that, incredible as it
seems, she refuses to eat grass unless
it has been boiled.
It is not unusual in very cold wealth
er to see a pet COW clothed in thick,
warm blanket, while the children of
the family shiver in their cotton gar
ments-and often very few of them.

engraved the date Of the buildings

following the usual custom, the date is

II sure did," replied the second man.
"a few minutes ago I seen him stand
ing in front of McMicks new building

The Gentle Passion,

William Gillette, the actor, was

hungry and they think you are going
to feed them"

What Future for Women?

Women have always had a wider
range of industrial opportunity in this
country than abroad; war will newt
ably widen the range, observes writ
er. A dearth of men will necessitate
her acceptance of such activities. and
for a time at least, her continuance
in them. What is to be the result?
What changes will occur in her tenn
permanent, her standards, and her at
titude toward life, in consequence?
No one can predict them.

Cant make up his mind to face the
music, eh?"
Il have an idea that he is waiting
for political reasons"
What Why, what has a young
man of twenty-five got to do with pol
itics?''
~ don't know"
What ward does he live in?"
"1n this, where you are alderman" !"
"Um! Um! I never heard Of him
in politics. Maybe he has got friend
who wants to be elected constable"
A week later as Mr.. Garnett and
Miss Nellie sat in the parlor the alder
man entered and said to the young
man:
Il presume you are Mr.. Garnett?"
'Yes, sir"
did you want to see me on busi-
ness?
weller, yes. It's about politics.
l want to ask your advice. The case
is this" began Mr.. Garnett. Its only
a month to our city election and the
people are beginning to talk of the fit-
ness of this or that man for Office"
'It is always so, and the people are
seldom mistaken"
ITO my amazement they are asking
me to run for Office"
But you are young, sir-very
young"
''That's what I tell them, but they
will have it that man hasn't got to
be middle-aged to be honest
'But is there any talk of dishonesty
among the Office holders?'' asked the
alderman with tingle of anxiety in
his tone.
"Yes, bit. There was mile of paw
ing done last year, you know, and it is
whispered that there was a divvy in
it. And they say there was another
divvy in supplies bought for the fire
department. Mr.. Andrews, they will
have it that l ought to take an alder
manic nomination.
"Too young, sir-too young, as
said.''
"The alderman from one of our
wards was elected by only forty ma
jority. I can get majority of 124 In
that ward"
"But you must have the nomination
first was the sulky reply.
ooh, the Daily Times will help me
to that for what I can dig out Of the
cement bridge divvy two years ago.
Is your advice to me, Mr.. Andrews, to
go into politics?"
81 don't say yes, anG I don't say
no."
Then Miss Nellie spoke for the first
time:
81 have also a question to ask you,
father. Are you willing that 1 should
fall in love with young politicianT
eff he is in politics to get the office
Of city clerk, yes. If he's after my
aldermanship scalp as well as my
daughter, no, by thunder!"
Father, isn't it better thing for
young man to be the son-in-law of
politician than to be politician him
self?"
''It strikes me that way" was the
thoughtful reply.
"And it strikes me that way, too,"
added Mr.. Garnett.
"And as the three of us are struck
alike"
And then and there two Of the three
went out of politics, and the third one
said he would have the check ready
at the wedding breakfast.
