The young woman from Boston was
t the table In a railroad restaurant It

to cut the Bteak with which she had
been served, she discovered that what
she needed was a higher education in
athletics. After four or five ineffectual
attempts to dissect It, she called to the
natter.
"Cahn't you," she asked, "give me a
bit of steak which is characterized by
ier tenncity of tissue?"
The waiter looked staggered and a
eowboy across the table looked up.
"I didn't quite ketch, mum," said th
waiter, bending forward with his hanc

"I said" and fhere was a shade oi

LARGEST BRANDT STILL.
Cnllfornlrt llonptu an t:tbl1bmnit Tnrn
Ins; Out 1A.OOO linllonn Dully.
The largest brand) still In the world
Is nt the Kl Pinal vineyard In San
Joaquin County, not far from Stock
ton. Part of It has been built about
four years and the otl-er part was fin
ished only a short time ago. Aa In
well known, tho El Pinal vineyard
has always made a ppeclalty of brandy
nnd sweet wines. It was the Intention
of the proprietors to do this when
they went Into business, and for that
reason they had the largest still built
that was ever put up. That was, as
has been stated, about four years ago.
nnd even then It wa nhend of any
thing In existence. It could produce
more brandy In twentyrfour hours
than any other still In the world, and
It has not betn surpassed since. Hut
even thnt was not enough to mipply
all the alcohol needed in their busl
ness, so another still was built nnd
made to work in connection with the
original one. The two aro really one
still, as they are used, nnd havo about
three times the capacity of any other
still in the world.
This enormous machine is located in
a building by Itself, and part of tho
year Is kept running day nnd night. It
Is very complicated in Its workings
so that a description of that part of It
cannot be nttempted here. It will be
sufficient to stat. that the grape Juleo
or wine Is pumped from vats to a tank
on top of the hill. From there it sim
ply passes through a series of heated
chambers In fho form of a vapor and
comes out in tho shape of brandy.
It ran be tested In the different
chambers nnd the change noted. In
tho first chamber it Is little more than
warm wine, and it gradually gets
stronger and stronger until it Is sharp
to taste. From the time the wine
leaves tho tank until it comes out as
grape brandy only ten minutes Is oc
cupied. In tho old method of distill
ing it used to take about three hours.
In appearance the largest brandy
still in the world Is simply a conglom
eration of tanks, pipes and boilers.
The capacity of this still Is enough to
make a person wonder what becomes
of nil Its products. When running full
time it can convert 15.000 gallons of
wine Into brandy In a day. This will
make about 4,01)0 gallons every twenty
four hours, or enough to keep about
40,000 men in a state of Intoxication
during that time. In a month there
would bo enough of brandy on hand to
intoxicate 1,700,000 men, or about the
entire population of New York. But,
aa It happens, very little of this brandy
Is sold as brandy. It is used to fortify
sweet wines, so that they will be In
condition to keep until ready to send
to market. Tho alcohol acts as a pre
servative of the grape Juleo the same
as It would of anything else. It keeps
It from turning sour. San Francisco

Wngner a a Ilero.
Never waa there a sorrier hero than
Wagner, this selfish voluptuary who
was content to gratify his luxurious
tastes at the expense of his friends,
but was too Independent to feel grate
ful for their sacrifices; whose self-indulgence
was so much of a disease that
he smoked In order not to miss a sen
sation which others enjoyed, and waa
capable of driving his host Into the
streets In the small hours of the morn
ing to replenish his snuff-box; and of
whom his ardent champion, the late
Ferdinand Praeger, has to confess that
while ho was ready enough to enter
into a quarrel he "always moved away
when it looked like coming to blows."
Wagner's callous neglect of his first
wife, who had been his slave through
years of penury qualified by prodigal
ity, provoked the remonstrances of hla
friends, and forced Mr. Praeger to say;
"I can testify that Wagner suffered se
verely from thoughtlessness.'" No
shabbier letter was ever penned than
the one he wrote to Mr. Praeger when
he found that the long-suffering wo
man had confided her troubles to their
common friend. "How could she have
expected," he plaintively asks, "that I
was to be schackled and fettered as
any ordinary, common, cold mortal?
My inspirations carried me into a
sphere where she could not follow, and
then the exuberance of my heated en
thusiasm was met by my cold douche."
The familiar plea that there should
be one law for genius and another for
tho "common mortal" is not intoler
able when urged by the apologetic
hero-worshipper; from the hero him
self It comes with but 111 grace. "I
liked every luxury she fettered me
there," he bleats of the woman who
had striven so hard to save him from
the ruin threatened by his colossal ex
travagance. Blackwood's Magazine.
Averace.
A very common word, to be sure,
and well understood as to its applica
tion. But after fair translation of its
old French body "aver" Into Eng
lish, and only "horse" Is found, and
the word becomes "horsage," the
change tends to confusion. Nono the
less, "horsnge" and "average" are
identical, Bince In the old-tlmo French
an "aver" was a horse. It was also a
horso In the Scotch dictionaries, and
In one of Burns' poems, "A Dream,"
he alludes to a horse as a "noble
alver." In olden times in Europe a
tenant was bound to do certain work
for the lord of the manor largely in
canting grain and turf horse-work;
p.nd in the yearly settlement of ac
counts the Just proportion of the large
and small work performed was esti
mated according to the word done by
"avers" (horses); hence our common
word "average."

Nowhere in all our broad land can
the angler find a greater variety of

Here also the most enthusiastic
hunter finds satiety. Deer, turkeys,

may be found in abundance through
out the state. The more novel sport
of alligator and manatee hunting may
also be indulged in by the more ad
venturous tourist.

Coming Gold Shipments.
Never in the past history of the
United States has there been such an
excess of exports over imports, in the
five months ending November 30 of
any year, as in the year 1896. The
excess amounts to $191,130,269.
Yet, in spite of this favorable balance

of trade, it is quit
e probable that we
shall 'follow up our immense ship-
December 19, says :
Wherein then does the reason lie
for our being just on the edge of
gold shipments a trade-contracting
influence under present circumstances
when we ought to be receiving gold
and thereby recuperating and reviv
ing our half-dead industries ? The
answer bankers give to this question
is everywhere the same. Their opin
ion is that the anomaly is accounted
for by the unnatural congestion of
money in New York City, keeping
the rates all the time lower here than
in Europe. Now it is Berlin that is
about to take advantage of this situa
tion. Money is active at 5 per cent,
there : here it is say 2J per cent,
and going a-begging at that. Why
should not Berlin bankers call on
their near neighbor London for their
gold ? Why should they come all
the way to America and go nowhere
else ? Because New York is not
only the cheapest money market
there is in the world, but it Is the
only market that cannot be influenced
by a rise in foreign exchange or even
by a withdrawal of gold. In London
money hardens as soon as the ex
changes turn against that centre be
cause its currency is the world's cur
rency. America, on the other hand,
suffers because its currency is wholly
out of touch with the world's currency
except through the United States
Treasury, and when redeemed in
gold there it has to be paid out again
as sjon as redeemed.
This explanation hits the target in
the very bull's eye. We have cheap
and abundant money, but no use for
it as long as there is no assurance of
a remedy for a financial situation
which keeps us at the call and beck
of gold hoarders and borrowers the
world over. Meantime the leaders of
the Republican party seemed dispos
ed to kick the ladder on which they
climbed to power from under their
own feet. They propose to ignore
the issue on which McKinley carried
New York, Kentucky, Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Michi
gan and Wisconsin and start out on
new tariff-tinkering enterprises. The
business of the country has been
tariff-tinkered to death. Business
needs rest. It needs to be let alone.
It needs such assuiance as an im
mediate, courageous reform of the
currency would instantaneously bring.
The people are entitled to expect
such reform. They are entitled to
the opportunity which the immense
extension of our export trade has
achieved for us, without the para
lyzing uncertainties that inhere in our
