An Omission to Be Rectified.

A German nobleman, in course of a visit to New York, commended the wines of America. He praised especially the California red wines, which seemed, he said, to be exceedingly pare. Then, apropos of wine’s purity, he narrated a recent happening in Berlin. “A Berlin vintner,” he said, "was accused of selling a wine made of chemicals. He was brought to court, found guilty and fined. After he had paid his fine he approached the chemist whose testimony had convicted him. ‘How did you know,' he asked curiously, ‘that my wine was manufactured T " ‘Because It contained no bitartrate of potash,’ said the chemist. ‘ln natural wines bitartrate of potash is always found.’ “ "Thanks,’ said the vintner In a tone of relief. ‘lt will be found In my wines hereafter.’ "—New York Tribune.
