Indian Food ia ir.-0nd.


An the varieties of cacti bear fruit, which
is valued by the Indians for food, says an
Arizona letter. They also cook the ileshy
leaves of the pricSly pear when young,
which are said to resemble string beans In
flavor. The Indians also use the head OF
the maguey, or century plant, for food. 1t
is found everywhere in the territory and Is
cultivated for revenue in Mexico. Ii con-
tains a large amount OF saccharine matter.
The century hypothesis in regard to lis
blooming is a myth, however, long since
exploded. in.tead of requiring hundred
wears to attain maturity and blossom the
plant blossoms in sever years from making
its FIRST appearance It then dies, its mis-
sion ended. The leaves. which are hcShy
and stiff, with thin edges covered with
thorns, branch from the root in long lances,
growing to the height ofthree or four feet
The centre Of the plant consists o! large
head. something Ike cabbage. From
this springs pole, eight to twelve feet high
which branches near the top, bca'ing yel-
low flower. The Indians prepare the head
for food by roasting in an oven made oi
stones sunk in the ground. We had an op'
portunity to taste a piece of the maguey 30
prepared, and found it delicious, sweet and
nutritious, tasting very mach like olt-iash-
Toned. homemade molasses candy. II that
was specimen morsel, the Indians deserve
no sympathy on the score Of their diet, as
It was really luxury.
The juice of the plant is also converted
into syrup and fermeutcd drink, called
tizwin by the Indians, and the Mexican
disti it, making an intoxicating liquor call
ed mescal. We also tested this liquor burnt
on an omelet, and found it as good rs bran
dy for that purpose. In its natural state
unburnt, it has a strong, smoky taste, resem
bling Scotch whiskey. Many useful articles
are made from the fibre of the maguey
rope. aGd even paper have been manafact-
ured from it.

Some idea of riat Baltimore rcH DO.
There appears to be almost no end to the
novelties being perfected for the Orioie ies,
tiyities in Baltimore in September. 1t VIII
truly be as termed, Summer Nights Carni-
val. and certainly nothing like it was ever
before attempted in any city in the continent.
There will be electricity in all lis forms, arc
lights and incandescent lights, focus lights
aud fambeaux, torches in various colors,
Greek ire. calcium and gas, until night Will
be turned into day The pyrotechnic feat
Ercs will be on scale of great extent and
variety. some of the set pieces promising to be
marvellous in effect. The whole city will be
lighte,l AS never before. The diilerentmOnu-
ments with which the metropolis abounds
will be ciriled by electric bands, while the
Lofty and majestic dome of the City Hall
will be fairly abaze. Every aysnue lead
ing TO novelty in illumination is eagerly
sought after and old Baltimore will indeed
,how herself this year. The night display
in the harbor will be gorgeous sight; and
the arrival of Lord Baltimore something to
remember for years. The Mystic Pageant on
the third night will beyond all comparison
excel ANYTHING Of the description ever at
temped not alone in this country but IN any
country. Other cities are content with ifC!n
eighteen to twenty-five ioSts, the latter
number being the greatest ever embraced
within one pageant in any city. Baltimore
almost doubles this, as her pageant Oh the
night of the 18th of September Will include
no no less than forty floats or taoleaux cars,
larger. more imposing and grand cr III
every way, than ever before shown. Ordi-
nariiv the number Of characters introduced
i'm a pageant is less than one hundred. In
the Baltimore pageant there will be two
hundred and thirty characters upon the
floats. every costume entirely new ana I'M
norted from Paris direct. 1t will require
thirteen hundred men, two hundred am
,cr,y horses. over fifteen thousand gas jets,
eight bands Of music, and other accessories
in ike magnificent proportion. The actual
cash outlay necessary to place the pageant
uuon the streets of Baltimore will exceed
tbirty-five thousand dollars. The charac-
ters are assured exclusively by members OF
the Order of the Oriole, merchants and
business men OF the highest standing. The
spacial series of excursions arranged by the
Baltimore and Ohio are meeting with un-
disguised favor, as they admit Of visit
ing 50 many places of great interest In ad-
Liiion 10 the Oriole at Baltimore. AS al
the festivities in the Monumental City are
at night. the days can be put IN visiting
Washington. Old Point Comfort, Fortress
Monroe, Luray Caves, HaIper's Ferry, ana
v,ry many other points The rate Is down
t. the lowest notch, haf-iare from al! sta
tons on the enormous system embraced
within the r. {, Q. management.

Torpedo Warfare.

Torpedo attack in warfare is reesi'ing
pretty close study abroad, and English au-
tohrities are viewing the subject in almost
every possible light. Altogether, 1t seems
that the attack has considerably the best OF
the defense in this case, for, after summing
I'd all the known methods Of resisting tor
pedo attacks, there seems 10 be comparative
ly little comfor. to be gained. Torpedo
nettings, the use oftorpedoes frca the ship
which is attacked, machine gars and d.
rect fire of large artillery are all consider
ed and in each case the verdict has been
there is more uncertainty than is desirable
Tie fast torpsdo boats, capable of discharg-
ing either long projcctiles or torpedoes, hay-
ing enormous bursting charges are decided
ugly customers, and no certain way has so
far been suggested b. which their attacks
NAV be diverted. 1t is al the more unsat-
islactory because the small torpedo beats
can easily discharge such missiles el speed
considerably greater than the fastest iron-
clads now ahoat, many Of them being aDie
to keep speed of twenty miles an hour
for more than an hour at time, while bu,
few, if any ofthe iron-clsds will be able to
make any thing like that after having been
at sea two or three months. The final out
come of sll the suggestions seems to be that
Gatling guns of one-inch bore are, so far
as known, the most effective weapon against
t0rpedo boat.

.Sunshine aud SLEEP.

Sleepless people-and they are many Ia
America-shoud court the sun. The very
worst soporifc is lsudanum, and the best,
sunshine. Therefore, itis very plain that
poor slaepcrs should pass a. many hours a.
possible in the sunshine, and as few as pos
sible in the shade. Many women are mar
tyr1, and yet they do not know it. They
shut the sunshine out Of their homes, they
wear wells, they carry parasols, they do all
that is possible 10 keep offthe subtlcst and
most potent influence which Is intended to
give them strength and beauty and cheer
fulnes5. II il not time 20 change this and
to get roses ard colour in their cheeks,
strength in their weak backs, and courage
in their timid souls? The women Of Amer
lea are pale and delicate; they may be
blooming and strong; and the sunlight will
be q potent influence in this transformation.

As an instance Of the exactncss exercised
in the United Etates treasury department
the following =. related: The cashier Of
the Farmers Nationasi bank, Bucks county,
Penn, recently received remittance Of 81 d,
900 in silver from the treasury department
at Washington The remittance was found
to be twenty-five cents short and Treasurer
Wyman was at once notified. A prompt
reply, inclosing a twenty-five cent piece,
was received The reply stated that at the
conclusion Of the monthly examination Of
moneys at the Office twenty-five cent piece
was found on the soor Of the silver vault,
which the examiners were unable % nc
count for. Il is supposed that in weighing
the coin this piece must have accidentally
dropped on the foor, and was not observed
az the time.
