DRINKS 0F MANKIND.

Many'ot Them, Including Beer, Are Very
Ancient.

“In the beginning men drank water
and then came to use the milk of cows,

_ asses and cammels. Then in some spirit
of investigation they drew the milk of
mares and. perhaps the supply more
than equaled the demand, for some of
it VV as left 0V er to stand and ferment,
and as a result thevl had koumyss, from
VV- hich they first learned the delights of
intoxication.

Next in harmlessness to milk are
those drinks which are prepared from
the products of the soil without the aid
of fermentation. Such are tea, coffee,
cocoa. chocolate. Among these the use
of cocoa is probably the most an—
cient in Europe,.as it reached there be:
fore either tea and coffee. Emperor
Montezuma. must have been very fond
of it, as he had 2, 000 jars prepared daily
for the use of his househc‘ d and 50 for
his own consumption.

Columbus, who did many good things,
carried the knowledge of cocoa to Eu-
rope and it soon became common in
Spain. It was introduced to England
in 1657 and about the beginning of the
18th century chocolate, which 1s a prep-
aration from the same plant, became
fashionable there.

Coffee, the drink more highly re».
garded today than any otiier,_was first
used in Abyssinia in 875. Thence it VV as
brought to Arabia. A Greek fir st intro-
duced it to England and made himself
famous by the act.

Tea, which rivals coffee in favor, is a
native of China, where it has been
grown for over 1,000 years. Pepys men ..
lions having drank it in 1660, showing
that ,it was then a novelty. '

It will surprise those who like beer
to hear. that it is not a modern inven—
tion. It was made by'the Egyptians
many hundreds of years before the
Christian era, as well as by the Greeks
and Romans. We have received it from
the ancient Gauls, who were great
drinkers as well as feeders. Undoubt-
edly the use of beer VVas common as
early as the use of wine.

Among the EgV ptians, Greeks, Ilo-
mans and Athenians beei was made
from barley, while in Spain and Britain
wheat was used for malting. Tacitus
in the first century said that beer was
the usual drink of the Romans and the
soldiers of Caesar introduced it into
Britain.

SO-called oeer VV as made' in England a
long time ago by tapping spruce, fir,
birch, maple and ash trees and using
their juices. This process is still kept
up in England and in this country,
where homemade beers f1 0m roots are
much used. - ‘--~ --
~~ Ale, which is more used in England
than in America, is a heavier malted
liquor than beer, and contains a small
proportion of hops. It was a favorite

rink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes.

A more aristocratic drink is wine> the
use of which is as old as civiliiation.
Its origin is ascribed to the gods. The
, culture of the vine began in Armenia
and I’Ontus and “spew“iv sv‘rr'ad. The
' most famous of .ASHIIEC wines was that
of Chalyb, which furnished the tables
of the Persian kings. Wine was not
used by the most ancient Romans.

Whisky, which is more democratic
than wine, is distilled from various

grains, from potatoes and from malted
barley. It was named by the Celts in
Ireland and Scotland. Brandy, a drink
not so uniV ersallv used, is distilled from
VV ine. —Chicago News. .

HUNG CHANG’S DUPLICITY.

How an English Captain Was Secured for
Chinese Service.

In engaging the services of a com-
_petcnt British Officer to organize the
Chinese navy, the government—i. el,
Li Hung Chang-«was obliged to resort
to duplicity in order to effect a sem-

- blance of reconciliation between the
naval service and the mandarin sys-

Ll

 

tcm. After the experience gained in

his first term of service in China, Capt.
Lang declined to re-enter it without
adequate substantive rank. Whether
this stipulation was made by the Brit-
ish board of admiralty before giving
him leave to serve, or was imposed by
Capt. Lang himself, is immaterial.
What the Viceroy had to do was to con-
trive a. form of words which would
satisfy the condition without disturb-
ing the Chinese official arrangements.

Capt. Lang was given the. title of
co-admiral With ’I‘ing, while all author-
ity was secretly withheld from him.
' So long as Admiral Ting was present,
Capt. Lang did not discover his true
position. His advice was followed, he
was on the most cordial terms with his
coéadmiral, and there Was nothing to
show that he was not, de facto, com-
mander in chief. As soon, however, as
an accident caused the two to be sep-
arated the situation _Vv.:1s revealed.
Lang’s order to hoist the admiral flag
was disobeyed, and Commodore Liu as-
sumed command of the fleet. An ap-

 

 

peal by telegram to Viceroy Li only -

brought strong confirmation of the
fact. that Lang’s Chinese rank was
never intended to be other than a sham.
——Blackwood‘s Magazine. -

Versatility Required of a Teacher.

- That the. old conditions of village life
in New England, in which the meet-
ing house was a real center of public
life and had an intimate connectiOn
with certain official things, still pre-
Vails in some. places in Massachusetts,
is indicated by a recent occurrence. A
young gentleman who had been rec-
ommended through a teachers’ agency
for the place of master of a public
high school w as in correspondence with
the school committee of the town, and
among the questions asked as to his
qualifications “as this: “Are you able
to sing in the chuich choir?” The
young gentleman can sing; he obtained
the position, and every Sunday his
voice is heard in the village choir.
Moreover, he teaches the high school
well. The people of the village say that
their high schoolmaster always has
sung in the choir, and they see no rea-
son why he shouldn’t be expected to
sing—Boston Transcript.

SiN‘GULAH DISCOVERIES.

‘ A Whale That Was a Valuable Contribu-

. tor to Science.

A very strange thing happened to
the prince of Monaco’ s steam yacht
Princesse Alice, near the island of
Terceira in the Azores last summer.
The prince has deV oted his V debt to the
studV of the ocean and its inhabitants,
and many important facts have thus
been gathered for science. On the oc-
casion referred to a sper-m -wha.le, or
cachawlot about 45 feet long, was har-
pooned by some fishermen, and in its
dying struggles it made direct for the
I’rincesse Alice. If it had struck the
little yacht the consequences might
have been very serious, but. just when
the collision seemed inevitable the

whale dived, and coming lip on the

other side of the yacht, turned upon its
back in the death—agony. At this in-
stant the bodies of three gigantic
(-ephalopods—the class to which cut-
tlefishes belong — were ejected from
the VVhale’s mouth. These were se-
cured by a. boat from the yacht, and
later the bodies of a number of curious
inhabitants of the sea were found in
the VVhale’s stomach. The cephalo—
pods belong to a ‘11.er species. Other
captures that the whale had made were
so interesting as to lead Mr. J. Y. Bu-
chanan, the naturalist, to remark in a
recent number of Nature: “The cach-
alot which was killed by the Vvhalers of
Terccira almost under the keel of the
Princesse Alice seems as if it had been
guided in the pursuit of its food by a
desire to devour nothing but animals
which, up to the present, are com-
pletcly unknown.”

WISE SAYINGS. ‘

The game of life looks cheerful when
one carries in one’s heart the unaliena-
ble treasure—Coleridge.

Too many, through want of prudence,
are golden apprentices, silver journey-
men and copper masters—Whitefield.

Mental pleasures never clog; unlike
those of the body, they are increased
by repetition, approved of by reflection,
and strengthened by enjoyment..~—-Col-
ton.

Order is the sanity of the mind, the
health of the body, the peace of the. city,
the security of the state. As the beams
to a house, as the bones to the micro-
cosm of man, so is order to all things.—
Southy.

gagement, secret?” Singerly—“I had

‘Mrs. Gumey (with deep curiosity)—
“Oh! Mrs. Glanders, do tell me about
Mrs. Tenspot's scandal, won’t you?”
Mrs. Glanders—“My dear, it is not near-
ly so dreadful as you hope.”—Judge.

I don’t Object, Alice,” said the patient
father, “to your trying to make your-
self look like a man. All I object to is
the kind of man you succeed in looking
like.”-—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Husband4—“Why, my dear! did your
sewing circle keep you till half-past
11?” Wife—“Oh! no; we all wanted to
go at seven o’clock, but no one dared to
be the first to leave.” —— Humoristiche
Blaetter. _

She—“He whistled as he went, for
want of thought. Of course, it was a
boy. You wouldn’t find a girl whistling
for want of thought.” He—“No; she
wouldn’t VV histle; she’d talk. ”—Indian-
apolis Journal.

“Who generally gets the last word

EVERY‘ CARE
FOR ’
DETAIL

That new garments ought to ref
ceive—cut, finish, trimming, mate-
rial. Even the lining plays an im-
portant part this season, more than
usual. Capes and Jackets when
folded inside out and carried over the
arm, man—fashion, look as shinning
as one could wish to have them. And
there‘ll be lots of times when they
will be carried instead of worn.

Such an outpouring of the very
newest thoughts in Capes, Jackets
and Skirts not only gives one the op-
portunity to choose wisely but to buy
economically; to have the prettiest
as well as the lowest priced reliable
qualities.
