THE NORTHWESTERN. BENsCIIOTKB * OIB8Q*. E<1» »nd BnUa LOUP CITY, • • NEB __ ■ - The air in the English channel was 10 clear one day recently that the dome of Boulogne cathedral, twenty-eight miles away, could be clearly seen from Dover with the naked eye. In conversation with a newspaper correspondent. Arab! Pasha has stated that he is in a difficult financial posi tion. He got an allowance of £50 a mcnth from the Egyptian government, which was scarcely sufficient to supply the wants of his large family, which Includes sixteen children, aged from three to thirty-eight years. The Newberry library at Chicago ha* secured the Prince Lucien Bonaparte collection of 15.000 volumes, said to be •mong the best philological libraries in existence. The prince spent a for tune in getting it together and his heirs offered it for sale at $200.00®, but the Chicago institution Is said to have bought it for a much lower figure. E. A. Martel, the French explorer f»r caverns, whose discoveries under ground have attracted much attention, reports that he has found in the de partment of Hautes Alpes a cavity in the form of a "natural well," whose depth exceeds that of any other known. He has sounded it to the depth of about 1.027 feet, but the actual bottom has not been reached. Doctor Voges, the director df the Buenos Ayres National Board of Health, reports that during a recent trip to Paraguay he accidentally dis covered that napthalene is an excellent remedy for mosquito bites. 3t neutral izes the poison, he says, even when the bite has caused considerable inflamma tion, and if a fresh bite he rubbed with napthalene no swelling follows. Speaking of the summer and win ter journeys wealthy people make to various "resorts" here and abroad, a shrewd observer ol city life remarks that "the finer the house on the avenue, the less it is occupied.” In so far as that Is trite. U Is to be regretted. At every season, in some favored re gion. nature spreads h fairer roof than ever architect devised; but we may leave paradise behind us when we set out to find a better place than home. In the presence ol a large number of officers frcm the garrisonund neighbor hood. the famous "Tower (ft Remem brance” erected at tlrav elntte by the Germane in 189», at a cost of more than 1140.000. was blown up recently by the military engineers. Originally Intended as a post of wbserxatlon over the neighboring country, it was after wards found that the existence of such a watch-tower was jruompatlble with the safety of the new fort outside Metz, which is completely dominated.. All ne eeas to the monument has been prohib ited for some time past by the military authorities. No fair-minded landlord can any longer advance the old argument that wretched tenements are inevitable be cause the poor prefer filth to cleanli ness and that good tenements will not pay. The City and Suburban Homes Company of New York has disposed uf that insufficient excuse of the parsimo nious landlord.* This corporation ap proached the problem with tW‘ idea at combining business and philanthropy It has iiailt excellent tenements in the poorest parts of the city, and rents at prices as low as those of the miser able bevels about them. Its biddings represent an investment of two mil lion dollar, on which it has Just de clared a dividend of 4 per cent. The landlord who pretends that good tene ments will not pay is usually a man who wants fifteen per cent. In East Oakland. Cal., is to be tried . a plan for helping homeless girls which seem* almost ideal in method as well as in purpose. A rich and gen , erous-hearted woman has declared her Intention of building ten cottages, eai& (of which will accommodate ten girk ^apd be in char© «of a "house-mother." The cottages wil Stand in a beautiful park, with trees, lawns and flower gardens about tbem. The inmates of each cottage will constitute a separate family, the older girfci helping to care !for the younger ones All will attend the public schools a* (Other girls do. and will have their own outside diver sions and friendship*. Meantime they wtU ftlso have in the borne a thorough training in housework. A* they reach a suitable age. each will receive spe cial (education in whatem trade or field of work she may select—teaching, dressmaking, millinery, typewriting, art or tuusie— so that when she leaves the home .each girl will be equipped to earn bet own living. One of the most atractive characteristics of the undertaking is its lack of institutional restraint and the large individual free dom whch it permits._ Seven of the largest sugar refineries in St. Mary Parish. Louisiana, have decided to discontinue the use of coal in the manufactuie of sugar, and will hereafter use oil as fuel. These re fineries use $150,000 v.- v th of coal an nually. and they gat it largely from western Pennsylvania. It will cost *35 000 to adapt their furnaces to th? use of oil. but it is estimated that less than $50,000 worth of fuel oil will da the work of $150,000 worth of coal. It U probable that next season all tha sugar plantations in Louisiana will b* usice Texas oil instead of coal. TALMAOE’S SERMON. “DISCOVER NOT A SECRET TO ANOTHER.” Kceptiig Dnt'a Own Coanaal — r«o|ila Should Learn to Say Nothin* «*f Ollier* That I* Not of Oeed I**fMirt—Pror erb* XXV: 9. (Copyright, 1901, Louis Klopsoh, N. T.) Washington, July 28—A practical question which is asked in most houses, and for many years, is here astoed by Dr. Talmage and answered; text, Proverbs xxv, 9, "Discover not a sauret to another." It appears that in Solomon-* time, as in all subsequent periods of the world, there were people too much dis posed to tell all they knew. It was blab, blab, blab; physicians revealing the ease of their patients, lawyers ex posing the private affairs of their cli ents. neighbors advertising the faults of the next door resident, pretended friends betraying confidences. f(>ne-half of the trouble of every com munity comes from the fact that so many people have not the capacity to keep their mouths shut. When 1 hear something disparaging of you, my first duty Is not to tell you. hut if I tell you what somebody has said against you and then go out and tell everybody else what I told you, and they go out and tell others what I told them that I told you, and we all go out, some to hunt up the originator of the story and others to hunt it down, we shall get the whole community talking about what you did not do, and there will be as many scalps taken as though a band of Modocs had swept upon a helpless village. We have two ears, bat only one tongue, a physiological suggestion that we ought to hear a good deal more' than w* tell. Let us Join a conspiracy that we will tell each other all the good and nothing of the 111, and then there will not be such awful need of sermons on Solomon’s words, ‘'Discover not a secret to an other." Solomon had a very large domestic circle. In his earlier days he had very confused notions about, monogamy and polygamy, and his multitudinous asso ciates in the matrimonial state kept him too well informed as to what was going on in Jerusalem. They gathered up all the privacies and poured them into his ear, and his family became a sorosls or female debating society of 700, discussing day after day all the difficulties between husbands and ’’Wives, between employers and em ployes, between rulers and subjects, until Solomon, in my text, deplores volubility about affairs that do not belong to us and extols the virtue Of •secretiveness. Outbranahlng* or Sympathy. You sometimes see a man with no ■vmtbranchings of sympathy. His na ture is cold and ' hard, like a ship’s mast ice glared, Which the most agile sailor could never climb. Others have a thousand roots and a thousand branches. Innumerable tendrils climb their hearts and blossom all the way up, and the fowls Of heaven sing in the branches. In consequence of this ten dency we find men coming together In tribes, in communities, in churches, in societies. Some gather together to cul tivate the arts, some to plan for the welfare of the state, some to discuss religious themes, some to kindle their mirth, some to advance their craft. So every active community is divided into associations of artists, of mer •rhants, of bookbinders, of carpenters. ( Of masons, of plasterers, of shlp i| weights. of plumbers. Do you cry out , against it? Then you cry out against a tendency divinely implanted. Your tlTaftes would accomplish no more than if you Should preach to a busy ant hill a tong svnutm against secret so dettea. Here -we Turn• the--oft dismissed ques tion whether associations that da their work with chined doors and admit their members 'by -passwords and greet <e*oh other with a secret grip are rigip or wrong. I answer that it depends •en tirely on tbe nature of the object for which they meet. is it to pass the hours in rettery, wassail, blasphemy and obscene taJk or *to plot trouble w the state or to debauch the innocent, then I say. with an emphasis that ns, • man can mistake. No! Rut Is the • object the defense of the rights of any class against oppression, the improve ment of the mind, the enlargement of •tne heart, the advancement.of art, the •defense of the government -the extlr p«tion of crime or the kindling of a pu*c hearted sociality, then ay, with Jum as much emphasis. Tew! Secret SorleUea. Tlierc are secret societies hi aiur col leges *;hat have letters of the Ow.ek al phalwy rfor their nomenclature, and their members are at the very frent in scholarship and irreproachable in «or als, whifc* there are others the scene of carousal, and they gamble, and they drink, ami they graduate knowing a hundred titties mo: e about sin than they do of geometry and Sophocles. In other word;, fceeret societies, like individuals, are good or bad, are the means of moral health or of temporal and eternal damnation. All good peo ple recognize the vice of slandering an Individual, hut many do not see the sin of slandering an organization. There are old secret societies in this and other countries, some of them cen turies old, which have been widely de nounced as immoral and damaging in their Influence, yet I have hundreds of personal friends who belong to them •—friends who are consecrated to God, pillars in the church, faithful in all re lations of life, examples of virtue and piety. They are the kind of friends whom I would have for my executors at the time of decease, and they are the men whom I would have carry me out to the last sleep when I am dead You cannot make me lselieve that they would belong to bad institutions. They are the men who would stamp on any thing Iniqnitoaa. and 1 would certain ly ratheT lake their testimony in re gard to such societies than the testi mony of those who. having been sworn in as members, by their assault upon them confess themselves perjurers. One of these secret societies gave for the relief of the sick In 1873 in this country, $1,490,274. Some of these so cieties have poured a very heaven of sunshine and benediction into the home of suffering. Several of them are founded on fidelity to good cltieen ship and the Bible. I have never tak en one of their degrees. They might give me the grip a.thousand times and I would not recognize .it. 1 am ignor ant of their passwords, and 1 must Judge entirely from the outside. But Christ has given us a rule by which we may judge not only all individuals, but all societies, secret and open. "By their fruits ye shall know them.” Bad societies make bad mi>n. Good socie ties make good men. A bad man will not stay in a good society. A good man will not stay in a bad society. Then try all secret societies by two or three rules. Influence on Home l ie. Test the first: Their influence on home, if yon have a home. That wife soon loses her influence over her hus band who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity. How are the great enterprises of reform and art and literature and beneficence and public weal to be carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on ' one side by his front doorstep and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his own attic or lower than his own cellar? That wife who becomes jealous of her husband's attention to art or literuture or religion or charity is breaking her ■ own scepter of conjugal power. I know an instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service, to charitable service, to prayer meet ings and to religious convocation. She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends no church, waits upon no charitable institution and is on a rapid way to destruction, his morals gone, his money gone and, I fear, his • soul gone. Let any Christian wife rejoice when her husband consecrates evenings to the service of humanity and of God i or anything elevating, but let no man sacrifice home life to secret society life, as many do. 1 can point out to you ; a great many names of men who are : guilty of this sacrilege. They are as i genial as angels at the society room and as ugly as sin at home. They are i genereous on all subjects of wine sup pers, yachts and fast horses, but they are stingy about the wives’ dresses and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a 1 healthful influence a usurper of his af fection and he has married it, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process his wife, whatever her fea f tures, becomes uninteresting and homely. He becomes • critical of her, i does not like the dress, does not like i the way she arranges her hair, is i amazed that he ever was so unroraan ■ tic as to offer her hand and heart. There are secret societies wnere mem ; bership always involves domestic Ship k wreck. Tell me that a man has joined • a certain kind and tell me nothing ] more about him for ten years, and I I will write his history Jf ne be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken hearted or prematurely i old, his fortune gone and his home.a j mere name in the directory. Evili of Bad Ai*or-4at«onft. The doctor coming in will at on ! glance see it is not only present, dis ease he must fight, but years of:fast 1 living. The clergyman, for the sake | Of the feelings of the family on tbe I funeral day will only talk hi religous j generalities. The men who got his j yacht in the eternal rapids will not be j at the obsequies. They have pressing ( engagements that day. They'Will send flowers to the coffin, will send their wives to utter words wf sympathy, but they will have »utgagenMurt8 else where. They never amae. bring me mallet and chisel, andl 1 Will cut that mail's epitaph, ‘Blessed are the dead Who die in the Lord?* "No,” 'you -say j ‘•Chat would not be appropriate.’ "Let me die the death of the righteous, and 'hn. tuiy’last end be like hi*W “No.” you nay. “that would not be appropriate.” Then give-me the mallet and the chisel and 1 wtllrcut an honest epitaph, “'Here lies the; vietlm of dissipating assocfa j tionsr Another test by which you can And whether your secret society is right or , wrong Is the effect it has on your secu lar occupation. I can understand how through such an institution a man can ] reach commercial success. I know some men have formed their best busl I ness relations through such a channel. If the secret society lias advantaged you in an honorable ealling.it is a good ! one, but has your credit failed? Are bargain makers now more anxious how they trust you with a bale of goods? Have the men whose names were down in the commercial agency A1 before they entered the society been going down since in commercial standing? Then look out. You and I every day know of commercial estab lishments going to ruin through the social excesses of one or two members, their fortune beaten to death with ball players' bat or cut amidships with I tbe front prow of the regatta or going down under the swift hoofs of the fasc , horses or drowned in the large pota i tloiis of cognac or Monongabela. That secret society was the Loch Earn. Their business was the Vilie de Havre. They struck, and the Vilie de Havre went under! In th« Ldit ffotim. Which would you rather have in your hand when you come to die, a pack of cards or a Bible? Which would you rather have pressed to your lips in the closing moment, the cup of Bel shazzarean wassail or the chalice of Christian communion? Whom would you rather have for your pallbearers, the elders of a Christian church or the companions whose conversation was full of slang and innuendo? Whom would you rather have for your eter nal companions, those men who spend their evenings betting, gambling, swearing, carousing and telling vile stories or yonr little child, that bright girl whom the Lord took? Oh, you would not have been away so many nights, would you. if you had known she was going away so soon? Dear me, your house has never been the same place since. Tour wife has never brightened up. She has never got over it. She never will get over it. How long the evenings are with no one to put to bed and no one to whom to tell the beautiful Bib'e stories! What a pity it is that you cannot spend more evenings at home in trying to help her bear that sorrow! You can never drown that grief in the wine cup. You can never break away from the little arms that used to be thing around your neck when she used to say, "Papa, do stay with me tonight, do stay with me tonight!" You will never be able to wipe away from your lips the dying kiss of your little girl. The fascination of a bad secret society is so great that sometimes a man has turned his back on his home when his child was dying of scarlet fever. He went away. Before he got back at midnight the eyes had been c’osed, the under taker had done his work, and the wife, worn out with three weeks' watching, lay unconscious in the next room. Then the returned father comes up stairs, and sees the cradle gone, and he says, “What is the matter?” On the judgment day he will find out what was the matter. un. man astray, God lielp you: T am going to make a very stout rope. You know that sometimes a ropemaker will take very small threads and wind them together until after awhile they become a ship cable. And I am going to take some very small delicate threads and wind them together un til they make a very stout rope. I will take all the memories of the mar riage day—a thread of laughter, a thread of light, a thread of music, a thread of banqueting, a thread of con gratulation—and I twist them together, and I have one strand. Then T take a thread of the hour of the first advent in your house, a thread of the dark ness that preceded, and a thread or the beautiful scarf that little child used to wear when she bounded out at even tide to greet you, and a thread of the beautiful dress in which you laid her away for the resurrection, and then I twist all these threads together, and I have another strand. Then I take a thread of the scarlet robe of a suffer ing Christ, and a thread of the white raiment of your loved ones before the throne, and a string of the harp cheru bic, and a string of the harp seraphic, and I twist, them all together, and I have a third strand, "Oh," you say, "either strand is enough to hold fast a world!” No, I will take these strands and I will twist them together, and one end of that rope I will fasten, net to the communion table, for It shall he removed; not to a pillar of the organ, for that will crumble in the ages; but I wind it round and round the cross of a sympathizing Christ, and, having fastened one end of the rope to the cross. I throw the other end to you. Lay hold of it! Pull for your life! Pull for heaven! ONE 3HADE OR TWO. Wliy *m Some Thing* Gray and 'Other* Grey V Is‘there a difference between "grey” and “gray,” aside from the matter of spelling? American lexicographers say there is not. but the Academy tells us that we must be careful if we would ■give each its "special application.” And it adds very learnedly: “Who .does not feel that some things are grey and others gray?" If anybody does not feel that way let him not be ashamed to speak up. I)r. Murray, the editor,of the greut new dictionary that is now only partly published, went about In 1893 making an inquiry as to usage iund found that opinions In Lon don varied. The replies to his ques tions showed that In Great Britain the form grey is the more frequent in use, despite tiie authority of Dr. Johnson and later lexicographers, who give the preference to gray. Many correspon dents said they had used the two forms with a difference of meaning or appli cation. the distinction most generally recognized being that grey denotes a more delicate or lighter tint than gray. Other* considered the difference to be that gray is a warmer color, or that it has a mixture of red or brown. The Academy's own opinion is that gray hag more of sentiment, grey more of color, which means that gray is a sug gestion rather than a positive outline. After all this learned discussion peo ple will go on pronouncing the word without reference to its vowel, and in saying that the shade is gray they will i let any one with a fancy for the dis pute spell it to suit himself. These i fne distinctions may be ignored on the , plea of the brevity of life.—Youth's Companion. South Australia has never been vis ited by any great eplderuA* and is nat urally very healthful. T1IE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VI., AUGUST II —GENE SIS, 15: 1-IS. (.olden Text: I Am Thy Shield nnd Thy Exceeding Great Howard—Geo. 1ft: l God'a Promise lo Abraham—Symbol* of the Covenant. Time.—The date In the margin of our Bibles Is "about 1913.” live or six years after our last lesson. Place.—Hebron. 20 miles south of Jerusalem. This was Ab raham’s home for a good many years. His place was at Main re (nom Ram«-h), ’n the environs of the city, two miles to .toe north (Tomkins). Here he and Sarah were burled. Abraham's tent was among the Oaks of Mamre, a part of Hebron. Abraham.—Eighty-four years old. and still childless, though otherwise rich and prosperous. I. A Time of Discouragement.—The fact that Immediately after this battle there .’time another vision from God leads us to think that probably the father of the faithful may have fallen Into a state of discouragement. Almost all men of great faith and of stirring deeds have had their seasons of discouragement and depres sion. Moses (Nurn. 11:10-15.) The Psalmist (Psa. 10:1.) Elijah, after his mighty deed on Carmel, lay down under the "juniper” tree, and wished to die. John the Bap tist, In the dungeon of Macherus after his gnat labors and courageous deeds, sent :o Jesus to know if he. whom he hnd pointed out as the Lamb of God, was really the Messiah. Almost every worker for God has at some time been with Bun van's Christian and Hopeful in Doubting Castle of Giant Despair, and. like Hope ful, forgot that he had the key of deliv erance In his bosom. II. The General, All-Inclusive Promise. —V. 1. After Abraham's return from his victory lri rescuing Lot, the Lord gave him one <>f the best and greatest prom isos ever bestowed upon man. "I AM THY SHIELD. AND THY EX CEEDING GREAT REWARD" HI. Symbols of the Covenant.—Vs. E-1S. In view of the vision and the former promises, Abraham asks the Lord how the promise could be fulfilled, since he was childless. For answer the Lord leads him forth Into the open air of the night, und shows him a sign S. "And he brought him forth abroad." Out of his tent, so that he could see the stars, showing that this vision was no dream, but a real message from God. "Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou hi' able to number them." In the promise to Noah, the rainbow was made a sign, appearing occasionally, but at the very times when fears for the fulfilment of the promise w'oulcl naturally arise. To Abraham God gives u brighter sign, that every night would speak to him of God's faithfulness. 1. These bright worlds were created and are held in their plates by divine power. So great is the God who would defend Abraham, able and willing to keep his promise. 2. The stars never failed. Each night, they appeared in their places, and moved unvaryingly In their courses. God’s faithfulness In nature was the assurance of his faithfulness to his word given to Abraham. 3. The stars in that climate are brighter than In ours. Professor Hall says that he has known Venus to shine so bright as to cast a shadow. Brighter than the stars, steadier than their flames, shall be the fulfilment of God's promises. 4. There are Infinitely more stars In heaven than Abraham could see. God's promises are ever better In their fulfil ment than It Is possible for us to con ceive. Illustration.—Prof. Camille Flamarlon •ays f1VfM> that five or si* thousand stars can be seen by the average naked eye; eight thousand by the best eyes; one hundred millions by the best telescopes which reveal stars of the fifteenth magni tude. "But celestial photography pene trates further still, and tho numbers be come so enormous that we are over whelmed by their weight without under standing them.” “On a photograph of tho great globular cluster Omega Cen taurii recently taken in Peru, a count of the stars was carefully made. If the whole sky were .as thickly studded with stars as this cluster (which it is noth the total number visible in the whole heavers would be about sixteen hundred and fifty billions. IV. The Covenant Agreement.—See Gen. 12:2, 3, 7; 13:11-17, 15:4-6, 16; 17:4-8; 22:15-18. 1. Abraham should have a child and de scendants, who should become a great nation. 2. These descendants should be as In numerable as the sands and the stars. 3. They should possess the land of Pal estine. 4. lie would be their God, and they his people. He would bless them, protect them, train them as a father trains hU child ren. E. He would make them a blessing to till nations, through all ages. Note tit tltc gradual unfolding of these promises. They grew larger as Abraham grew In faith and character. Note (2) they were not selfish prom ises. They began In Abraham, but reached over the world. Note (3) that there was to be a long period of training before they could tie completely fulfilled. All efforts to make the world better suddenly like a flash of lightning are necessarily failures, from the nature of man. Note <4-) that God made everything a re minder of the covenant. Ills name, his person, the land, the dust, the sand, the stars, his flocks, his altars—everyone spoke to him of his covenant with God. V. Practical Lessons and Illustrations. —1. God comes to us In our dark times, the times of trial and sickness and loss and danger. These with God In them are a training in faith and character. How sweet the sunshine after the storm, and the assurance that he Is always shining on tbs other side even during the dark ness and storm! Character grows by God s encouragements In the trials of our faith, by earnest believing, by confirma tions of faith, by religious observances, by the everlasting covenant with God. Nearing the Golden Age. Isaac Ogden Rankin says: “There was never a better time to live, a clear er hope, u larger field of witness. Se renity of faith, activity of work, joy of expectation, looking for the perfect reign of love, crown the new century's life. God is with us In our toil and rest. This is the golden opportunity, and in using it we hasten on the golden age.” Hotelkeeper I.ike n Mother. Out in Moberly. Mo., a female hotel keeper advertises that she tries to be just like a mother to her guests, and that those who stop at her hostelry once are sure to come back when they can. Conutructlne >’ew Railway*. Over 8,000 miles of new steam rail way will be constructed in the L'nited States this year. Oklahoma and In dian Territory are in the list for 012 j miles. From Fnlplt to Consulate. Rev. Dr. C. P. H. Nason, who has resigned the pastorate of the Second Presbyterian ehurch In Germantown, Pa., is to be United States consul at Grenoble, France. Ur. Nason was graduated at Williams college In 1862, which was President Carter’s class and his degree was conferred by Williams two years ago. This is rather a pleas ant way for a cergyman to retire. Rev, Mr. Nason was acting pastor of tho American church in Paris in 1899. A Comoro Professor at 80. Although President Henry G. Weston of Crozer Theological seminary is more than 80 years old, he performs all the duties of his office and will deliver four lectures next week at the interdenom inational Bible class to be held at I-ake Orion, Mich. As long ago as 1849 he was moderator of the Baptist General Association of Illinois, which state was the scene of his early labors. "Bobs" In a Crack K Icier. Lord Roberts is a fearless rider and usually well in at the death in a fox hunt, but his eminence as a hunting man depends on his splendid eye for country and his unrivaled knowledge of horse tlesh and not on mere dare deviltry. Lord Roberts has had his share of "croppers,” but, thanks to his light, steel-built frame, he has never come to any serious harm in the hunt ing field. Six Doctor* Till* Time. South Bend, Ind., July 29th:—Six different doctors treated Mr. J. O. I-an deman, of this place for Kidney Trou ble. He had been very 111 for three years, and he despaired of ever being well. Somebody suggested Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Landeman used two boxes. He is completely cured, and besides losing all his Kidney Trouble, his gen eral health is much better than It has been for years. No case that has occurred in St. Joseph County for half a century, has created such a profound sensation, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are being well advertised, as a result of their won derful cure of Mr. Landemau’s case. i - Oom Fanl'A Smoking and Drinking, Paul Kruger smokos almost inces santly and for many years drank amazing quantities of beer daily, but only on once occasion did he ever taste alcohol. That was at Bloemfon tein after the signing of an alliance with the Orange Free State. On that occasion Oom Paul took off a bumper of champagne, and he liked it so well that he has never tasted it since. Ask your grocer for DEFIANCE STARCH, the only 16 oz. package for 10 cents.
