Oriental Beverages.

The Chinese have made beer from a
peculiai kind OF rice for over 1900 years
It's inventor is said 10 have brought some
OF the new beverage TO the Emperor,
who, on tasting it, remarked: "This
liquor will cause great trouble in the En-
pire" To prevent, if possible, the full
fillment Of his own prophecy, ne banished
the inventor and forbade the manutlc-
ture, but this early a!tempt to nip The
liquor traffic in the bud failed, the secret
OF the manufacture was preserved. and
the Chinese ore still in enjoymen. Of their
venerable rice beer The rulers Of the
Celestial Empire would seem 10 have
had more success in the suppression Of
wine drinking, several Emperors having
gone to the root OF the matter, by order
ing the extirpation OF the vines. The
strong drink of the japanese, known as
sackl, is also prepared from rice, and so
is the brom of the JavaneSe, which is not
considered ripe until it has been buried
in an earthen vessel for several months
in the ground. The numerous ipes of
Central Africa prepare malt ltliquors from
maize and milet, while the kamschat-
kans have succeeded in extracting spirit
from one of their grasses. Among the
agricultural races, cereals were not The
only materials from which alcoholic
liquors were prepared; the fruits OF varits
Gus trees we're pressed into the service.
Thus, in vine-growing counties, "dull
draughts Of barley wine" gave place.. at
least among the well-to. do classes, to the
more generous juice of the grape, while
palm wine or turi, from which our word
toddy is said to be derived, became the
favoriie liquor wherever the palm-teee
hourished. In countries too cold for vine
culture, but where honey abounded, the
latter seems 10 have been preferred 10
cereals for fermeniing purposes. Mead,
the liquor thus produced, was the favorite
drink OF our Anglo-Saxon forefathers, and
OF the people of Northern Europe gen.
orally, and it is still much used in Russia.
1t is possible owing to the abundance of
honey in South Africa that the drink
reappears among the Hottentots, the
Caffres, and the natives Of Madagascar.
Honey is not, however, the only animal
substance from which a fermented bever>
age is obtained. Among the purely pas
toral races, whose wealth consists wholly
OF their aocks herds, milk has been turned
to account for this purpose, The Mon
gels and Tartars have from time imme-.
mortal prepared an alcoholic drink known
as koumiss from mares milk. This is
placed in botlle-necked vessels made o
skins, and sour milk of the COWS isadded
as ierment. As fermentation sets in
the contents Of the skin are violently
stirred, and in few days the liquor is
ready. Koumiss has long enjoyed the
reputation of being remedy for con-
sumption the tribes using it being, it is
said, remarkable free from pulmonary
diseases, and, with view TO lis applica-
ton incidentally for this purpose, the
manufacture of the Scythian beverage has
recently been started in England. From

Jl Millionaires, ,

What becomes of the sons of our
great men is question that is fre-
quently asked and as frequently left un-
answered. The intellectual powers Of
the father, ii predominant, seldom de.
scend to the son. In certain sense
this rule holds true with respect to the
ability to acquire and retain riches. If
the father possess this in remarkable
degree, the son, in nine cases out of ten,
is spendthrift. Examples of this are
not wanting. The descendants of men
who, two or three generations ago, rolled
in opulence, hold clerkships or other sub
ordinate positions. Wealth, influence
and ability in some families descend from
father to son; but these are isolated
cases, and as exceptions, only prove the
truth of the rule. Since they are SO
seldom retained in one family for any
great length Of time, the query, where
our rich men of the future will como
from, naturally suggests itself. They do
come to the surface, and gradually unfold
those powers which enable them to man
age vast enterprises, control millions, and
WELD a mighty influence. The result is
not freak of fortune they are not
kicked into good luck Their success is
merely the result of long and laborious
years. right appreciation of the details
Wealthy young men begin life Just
where their fathers left off, and, of course,
end where their fathers began e., at
the little end Of the horn. Our future
rich men are to-day peddling fish in the
streets, selling oranges or papers on the
sidewalks, or are engaged in some remu-
nerative employment, the wages of which
are each week divided between current
expenses and the savings bank, the lat
ter generally getting the lions share.

enter so largely into his character being no

Million Dollars, with Comparatively Small

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 10.-The investiga-
tion of the affairs of Archbishop Purcell by
the trustees appointed for that purpose, dis
closes the fact that his liabilities amount to
$3,874, ,371. of which $85GOO is secured by
mortgage. The assets in addition to the real
estate which has been assigned by the arch
bishops brother, have nominal value of $484,-
600. The trustees to whom the investigation
was committed find it a hopeless task to de-
termine where the money went or how much
was spent on the Cathedral, seminary and
orphan asylum. The cause is attributed to
heavy interest, bad investments, shrinkage in
valnes and want of business management The
trustees close their report by asking the sub
stantial aid of the faithful throug ghout the
country to provide for the relief of those who
by the smash up, have been deprived of tho
support they had set aside for their old age.

that is that Blackburn is gaining. Senator

He will work hard for him during the whole

that he understands that the Democratic as
