This painting of a rural drinking scene in France by a well known ar tist is a depletion of wine in its most pleasant aspect. Such a picture might be duplicated in all parts of the coun- try. The people drink a great deal but seldom to excess. They look upon wine almost as Americans do upon coffee. The native products that are not highly prized and that are sold at hundreds of little inns or taverns are pure but rough, intoxicating but not highly so.
 The other side of the picture, how ever, should not be overlooked. It is possible to find almost countless rural places where wine is constantly abused "NonO," a French novel re- gently translated into English, is an unfinching portrayal of one of these blighted communities, where wine has wrought evil to whole countryside
 Americans who seldom drink wine always think of champagne when they feel opulent enough to buy French wine. It is the most famous of all the French vineyard products, but the

OPENING GUN 0F FALL CAMP AIGN
 TUESDAY NIGHT

On Tuesday evening, August 18th, at o'clock, the opening gun of the fall campaign will be fired by the To- cal Democrats at a smoker and get together meeting in Lyric Hall.
 The affair will be held un7er the auspices of the Democratic Executive Committee and the Sequoyah Club, and all citizens who will support the Democratic ticket in the coming cam paign are invited to attend with their Democratic friends, so that a mutual understand may obtain, and that the success of the campaign, which is now assured, may be made an over whelming one.
 A campaign program has been adopted by the Democratic officials, and il is planned to bring it before the party in detail at the smoker at which excellent entertainment and refresh ments will be provided.

industry Of wine-making in France would not be very important if cham pagne were the only variety made. Everyone knows now, if they did not
 before 1914, that the champagne dis trict extends for miles about Rheims and Eperney. The vineyards along both banks of the Marne and in what lis known as the mountain district are attractive places when the grapes are hanging in great punches to the green
 vines. but the natural scenery is not so picturesque as in many other
 French c-growing districts
 Champagne is a very modern wine,
 the secret of making sparkling drinks having been discovered in the cham pagne country a year or two before 1700. A monk named Dom PerlgOrd is regarded as the first maker of this wine that is so famous today, but not much is known of the discovery. It is generally thought that he probably came upon the secret by accident. having corlled some bottles filled with partly fermented wine which bubbled readily when opened. The new wine

RWANANS COT CHRISTIANITY THROUGH SCHOOL Royalty Attended Glasses and Studied Religion
 Faithfully. ORDERED EVERYONE TAKE UP EDUCATION Heathen Nation Won Over to Christianity In Half
 Century.

A Primer School for Royalty where kings and queens learned the abc's of their own language (except that there was no b or c in their alpha bet) was one of the curiosities of early missionary days dn the islands then known as the Sandwich Islands but now the Territory of Hawaii.
 It was due to the fact that royalty attended the school and was con- verted to the new faith that the epread of Christianity among the Hawaiians was so speedy and thorough. Until this day Hawaii is the one great example of practically an entire heather nation won to Chris T:anity in half a century. The Ha- waiians, for the most part, have re- mained Christians and they are well educated, law-abiding, industrious citizens of the United States. Due to that fact, the extension of its Ha- waiian activities by the Episcopal Church through its Nationwide Carpaign to increase it's work at home and abroad, will chiefly con- cern the Japanese, Chinese and Ko- reans now in the islands. The Jap anese are three times as numerous as the naLlNe hdudhaS.
 The Hawaiians had no written lan- guage and the first task of the mis- sionaries after learning to speak tho native language, was to reduce it to writing. For this purpose only twelve letters were used-five vowels, a, e, f. and u, and seven consonants, h, k, l, m. n, p and W. The vowels were given the sounds of these letters as used in Italian and, as a rule, each letter has only one sound. Every syllable ends with a vowel Without the harsh consonants of European and Asiatic languages, the Hawaiian tongue is soft and musi- ! cal, as are the voices of the na- tives.
 When the missionaries established | their first school to teach the Ha- waiians to write and read their own 1 language, the natives were very eager to learn those arts. The kings and | the chiefs however, insisted that ! they must be taught first. The school was therefore opened for royal scholars. The king and other mem i bers of the royal family and many | chiefs, ranging in age from the strip l ling to the old man and woman (for a woman could be a chief in Hawaii)
 
 very apt.
 At the end of the four months the 1 king could read and write his own | tongue fairly well and was so anxious l to have his people learn the same accomplishments that he issued a 1 proclamation ordering every person | in the Kingdom to attend the mission | schools. Rapid progress was made and at the end of six years schools were conducted fin every district of 1 the kingdom with 400 teachers, most l ly natives, and 25,000 pupils. The natives were so fascinated that they 1 forsook their sports to devote them selves with more intensity to learn | ing.
 The missionaries gave the Ha- waiians a literature, translating the ! Bible, school books and other books | into the native tongue.

-From the painting by Lhernite.)

.From the painting by Lhernite.) vineyards For average excellence, the Gironde wines rank first among all the wines of Franco. From one comparatively small vineyard in the Gironde comes the St. EmiliOn wine, so highly regarded by cOnnoisseurs that only those with the incomes of millionaires can have many bottles in their cellars.
 Among wine lovers the Burgundy vintages are almost as renowned as those of the Champagne and Gironde districts. Then there are the spark | ling wines of the Saumur country on
 the Loire and the wines from the
 Midi in the south of France, where a
 quarter of all the French wines is
 made. And there are almost count less other districts that might be
 mentioned where most of the wine
 made goes down the throats of the
 French themselves, but where some prized vintage3 for exportation are
 also bottled.

became popular at once and for a long time only the growers in the cham pagne country were able to furnish this product.
 Jealous producers in other districts circulated stories that champagne produced all sorts of terrible diseases and that it could not be made without the assistance of the devil. These tales were widely believed and, for a considerable period, champagne went into eclipse. Most people were afraid to drink it and bottles could be bought at ridiculously low prices. But when other growers found out how to make bubbling wine, the prejudice disap- peared and champagne came back into favor.
 There are almost countless districts and separate vineyards in France that have as much reputation with cpl cures as the champagne country The region about Bordeaux is said to have the finest soil and the best climatic conditions in France.

ROAMS STREETS
 WEIGHTED WITH
 HIS OWN COFFIN
His Because He Bought It, and Further Because He
 Couldn't Sell It.

New York, Aug. 1S.---Between mid night and cock crow yesterday a man roamed the streets of Brooklyn stag gering beneath the weight of "dou- ble extra quartered oak coffin, han dies and plate warranted to be of sterling silver and the glass of heavy plate. Int man was George White, of 6 Sackman street, Brooklyn. The coffin was his; he had bought it for $135 from a friend who had postponed his death indefinitely.
 MT. White, enthusiastic as to the merits of his bargain. started out to sell it at a profit to some undertaken. The tale of his travels and adven- lures is inscribed upon station house blotters from Dan to Beersheba, as they say in Brooklyn. No coffin in the history of the world. it is believed, ever travelled further afoot or caused more commotion doing it than did that double extra quartered oak bargain of MT. Whites. Had its ca reer not come to an untimely end at noon yesterday. it would have rivalled the coffin of Mahomet.
 The trouble was MT. White is not a professional pallbearer. Brooklyn undertakers were not in a receptive mood, and his task began to pail on him after a few blocks. Then he put the coffin down and sought the near est saloon that showed hospitable lights.
 Apparently few Brooklyn saloon keepers had the heart to close their doors against a man a-wear.ed of bearing his own cofin for MT. Whites stops, as recorded by the police, were freq-ent, Every time he stopped
 some late-walking vigilante of Brook lyn discovered the coffin. Everybody who discovered 1t came to the imme- diate conclusion that a murderer had completed his horrid task, even to , buying a coffin, and was waiting only for the moon to set to bury his vic tim.
 From midnight until after dawn | telephone bells tinkled in police sta tions and vexed police lieutenants ] assured well-intentioned citizens that | it was not murder they had dis | covered but merely MT White car rying his coffin, The first time fl | happened soon after midnight, al ! Broadway and Eastern Parkway. MT,
 White and his coffin journeyed to the
 Ralph avenue police station with the | mortified patrolman who discovered them and was convinced that this
 was a mystery for the detectives
 Mir White explained the situation in
 a dignified manner and thereafter he
 was not molested in his travels bS the police, who figured that not mo.e
 than one man would be carrying a
 coffin around Brooklyn on any given
 night.

 noon when George Edwards, whose father has 9 warehouse at l2 HswaFd

YOUNG WOMAN
 HIT BY JITNEY
 ESCAPES HURTS

While crossing State street near Organ street this morning. Mary Freeman of SS Butler avenue was struck by a jitney bus operated by Adam Gentle of 157 Holster avenue. Gentle was placed under arrest i'm mediately after the accident, and is now being held under 25 bonds. The girl was not seriousdly injured, and after receiving first aid treatment at the Emergency hospital was re- moved to Ter home. Gentle was en- gagged in an altercation with another jitney driver last week, and his arrest was pending when he figured in this mornings accident. IL is probable that charges arising out of last weeks difficulties will be nolled due to the fact. that witnesses are reluctant to appear.
