That Canada is a cosmopolitan
nation and that our importers of
food and drink cater in most extra-
ordinary fashion to the tastes of
our adopted citizens is indicated by
the queer names of ,equally queer
liquors that appear in the govern-
ment reports of importations. Here
are a few of them'; Sake, mastioa,
tirnovka, arrack, 'aquavit, bouza,
Aimee, ehiea, Inures, teff,. yaoust.
Mastica, or mastic, is a' Greek
drink, It would appear to boast a`
long ' his
for running g back to the
times of Pericles, Tradition has it
that this was the tipple affected by
Xantippe, Socrates' shrewish wife.
Mastics is a strong brandy derived
from grapes or currants when the
juices has been expressed for wine.
Sake, as everybody knows; is the
drink of the Japanese. it is made
from• rice; is thick and syrupy, and
possesses so high a•, percentage of
alcohol that our customs classify it
spider the head of spirits.
Prude Brandy.
Tirnovka is a prune brandy, im-
ported for the use .of our citizens of
Balkan, .Slavic, and Russian extrec-
tion. It is said that the valley of
the Danube, was the original home
of the prune and the plum, that
no where else do they attain such
perfection, and that nowhere else
are they so extensively utilized in
the making cif liquor. The use of
these fruits in this connection is no
new thing.
The Germans, whe doubtless
learned the trick of making brandies
of plums and cherries from' their
neighbors, the Slays, in Poland and
Bohemia, were the inventors: of the
liqueur kirchenwassei (olierry wa-
ter), of which quantities are import-
ed into this 'country, •
Sloe Gin.
Sloe gin is closely akin to the
tirnovka of the Slay. Sloes, the
wild prunes that grow all over Eur-
ope, are allowed to soak for a long.
time in first-class gin, at the eon -
elusion of which -process the liquor
is drawn off and the sloe pomace
placed in a press when the juice is
extracted anal added to the gin.
Batavia arrackis a strong liquor
fermented from cocoanut juice. The
Dutch learned .: the process of mak-
ing it from their subjects, the Jav-
anese.
A guear importation is "liqueur
de Dantzig," a thick, strong, syr-
upy brandy, heavily flavored with
anise and cumin seed. A small
amount of gold leaf is added to each
bottle of this liqueur, so that, when
shaken or poured into a glass, the
gold leaf diffuses itself throughout
the drink, giving it a most peculiar
appearance. -
Other Strong Mixtures.
Aquavit is a brandy of Norwegian
birth. It is made in the govern -
meat distilleries of Trondhjem and
• Bergen, being distilled largely from
imported American corn, Russian
wheat, and native potatoes. Ex-
perts place aquavit next to Santa
Cruz rum in the hatter of strength.
Vodka and quass are Russian
drinks. The first is a species . of
whisky or brandy distilled gener-
ally from rye, but sometimes from
potatoes, and the second is a beer
derived from rye instead of barley.
The most significant name in the
list of -queer drink importation is
""bouza,". a Tartar compound de-
rived from millet seed. Teff and
yaoust are the names of liquors
whereof Arabians and Turks are
fond.

Wens, the one thought that strikes
you is the feeling of responsibility
that pervades every phase of Chin-
ese life. M•r.. John Maegowan, a
missionary in China for fifty years,
tells in "Men 'and Manners of Mod-
ern China" how this sense of per-
sonal responsibility makes useless

with European or American,

got a fatal stab. It was two o'clock
in the morning when the incident
took place. The whole city was
asleep, and the Tipao, the head man,
-of the ward, and his family were in
bed, o
s that he way entirely un-
aware of what was going" on. His
protestations that he knew nothing
of the matter were received with a
sneer, and with the remark, "Well,
then, you ought to have known."
"But how could I?" hemodestly
replied.
`'Never mind how," was the offi-
cial answer ; "that is your business.
The ward is in'your charge, and you
are the responsible person to look
after it."
With that he was thrown upon his
face, And a couple of sturdy lictors
who had been looking at him with
hungry and expectant eyes pro-
ceeded to administer with their
bamboos a lesson in the art of rul-
ing a ward that would keep him i
a recumbent posture for at least
week to come.
This doctrine of responsibility is a
very comfortable one to a foreigner
when he is traveling through the
country. The innkeepers where he
lodges take the greatest carte of him
while he is under their roof; lest
they be called to account for any
injury done to him or his property.
On one occasion a certain Bonifaee
pursued a guest, who left early in
the morning, for miles along the
road, with some article that he had
left behind him...The innkeeper was
panting and •perspiring when he
got up, with the traveler, and the
latterwas greatly amused when the
innkeeper, with a pleased and vir-
tuous look, handed him an empty
match -box.

A SECOND LIVINGSTON.
Spent Twenty Years in the Interior
of Dark Africa.
s.
Dan Crawford, who is held in
England to be the eucoessor to Liv-.
ingston, when a young man of
twenty, was -threatened with lung
trouble and was ordered to Africa.
It was in 1889 that he first saw the
coast of Africa slipping past under
the port rails of a big steamer as
she rolled to the long cambers of
the Atlantic. He landed, believing
that he bad come for a brief so-
journ. As a. matter of fact he was
not to return for twenty years.
His first expedition was 200• miles
inland. After it, what he terms the
boring in to the interior began.
Thirty-two months after leaving
Great Britain: he reached the sax
-
age town of BenguelI'a, 1,000 miles
from the coast. There he lived with
the great King Mushidi, whose rise
to power and the 'misuse of that
power he graphically describes. He
helped to establish the nfission sea,
tion,at Luanza, built on a cliff over-
hanging the Great White 'Lake.
Here, with nnfeiling success he
preaohed the Gospel to the utter
most' parts of Africa, drawing the
natives to him from far distant
places.; •
His interpretation of native
modes of thought, of native cus-
toms native secret . processes is
something entirely new in social
discoveries. He has much to say on
the subject of the tendency to de-
gradation in the • white roan who
finds himself isolated in the jungle.

tuguese, the queen of an African.

TIIE BRITISH IN INDIA,
A. British Writer Scores Their Rule
of That Country.
A note of ` alarm under . the title
"The Coming Catastrophe in In-
dia" is sounded in London Every-
man. The article shows that Brit-
ish rule in India is unsympathetic
and unjust, harsh and tyrannical
politically, ruinous economically,
and that it . has done all that was
possible to crush Indian initiative,
to destroy Indian culture, to stunt
Indian agriculture and manufac-
ture, and to drive the wealth of the
peninsula to Great Britain.
The article charges that the Brit-
ish as a nation since 1857 have look-
ed down upon these peoples and'
treated them as inferior mortals,'
not recognizing that Hindustan is .a
land of noble races that have led
the world in many departments of-
art, science, finance, morals, reli-
gion and industry, and are capable.'
of even greater achievements,in the.
future.
"India," says the article, "has
been bled, and is bled to -day, by a
drain of -commercial produce to pay
interest,home charges, remittances,
military • depots,.; ete.,., to Great Bri-
tain to an extent to account fully
for the frightful impoverishment,
for the plague and for the disease
of poverty. The object of the -Brit-
ish -:in India is to be bribe as many
capable Indians as they can by Gov-
ernment poets and in other -ways to
support the system. which is ruining
their fellow countrymen."
THE "BLUES."
A Lally Finds Kelp from Simple
- Food.
Civilization brings blessings and
also responsibilities.
Themore highly organized we
become the more need there is for
regularity and natural simplicity in
the food we eat.
The laws ofbody nutrition should.
be carefully obeyed, and the finer,
more highly developed brain and
nervous system not hampered by a
complicated, unwholesome dietary.
A lady of high nervous tension
says:
"For fifteen years I was a, suf-
ferer from dyspepsia. I confess
that an improperly regulated: diet
was the chief cause of my suffering.
Finally, nothing that I ate_ seemed
to agree with my stomach, and life,
at times, did not seem worth living.
"I began to take a pessimistic
view of everything and see life
through dark; • blue • glass, so to
speak. My head became affected
with a heavy creeping sensation
and I feared paralysis.
"Palpitation of the heart caused
me to fear that I might die. sudden-
ly. Two years Lugo, hearing Grape -
Nuts so highly spoken of by some
estimable friends of mine, I deter-
mined to try it.
"The change in my condition was
little less than miraculous. In, n.
short time the palpitation; bad
feeling in head and body began to
disappear and the improvement has
continued usual at the present time
I find myself in better health than
I haveever enjoyed.
"MY weight has increased 20 lbs.
in the last ,year and life looks
bright .and sunny to me as it did
when I was a, child."

The Value of Trees.
The soil is a resource of priceless
value. Its formation on rocks is ex-
eeedingly slow. According to Prof.
J, Bowman, many glacial scratches
that were made on rock during the
last' glacial period, between 60,000
and 75,000 years ago, are still as
fresh as if they had been made only
yesterday. •Yet, since the glaciers
thus recorded themselves, man has
corne up from the cave and the
stone -hammer.. Seventy thousand
years is. a very short time for the
development of a, soil cover ; for
man itrneano a period so great that
the mind -can hardly grasp it. The
cutting off of the trees exposes the
soil so that the rain beats upgn it,
and since it has lost the protection
that the roots and the litter on the
ground afforded, the soil is soon
washed away, In fifty years a Sin-
gle lumber merchant can deprive
the race of soil that required 10,000
years to form..

Poor George! It didn't matter

incurable habit which had cost him

which almost cost him ' .But

be married, and, in due course, his

the marriage was arranged to take
pace from the bride's home, which
happened to be some thirty miles
from George's home. Hence, need-
less to say, George failed at the
critical moment to put in an ap-
pearance.
