The inquiries OF United States Con.
suls in the various countries of the
world seem to establish beyond ques-
ton the fact that business is pretty
generally done on the credit system.
In some countries the system seems TO
be carried further than in others, but
I'll resort TO it, whether their govern
mcnt is stable or unstable, and wheth-
er the country is rich or poor.
A few years ago what is now the

County, n. T., was worthless piece
Of land. To-day it would bring readi-
ly 81, 900 IN acre. Last season on these
meadows 1901 900 bushels of onions
were grown, which were sold for more
than $l25, 900. This seasons crop will
be even larger, There are no other
equally large onion tracts in the coun-
try.

Germany divides humanity at large in

The best cocoanuts come from Cen
trial and South America. They are not
picked nor shaken from the trees, but
when ripe fail off themselves. From 10
to 20 per cent are lost in transporta-
ton. Those partly spoiled are made
into cheap confectionery; the others are
burned, shell and all, and ground up
into what is called spice mixture, which
is used to adulterate pepper, cinnamon,
alspice etc. There is thus but little
loss or damage except TO the con-
science.

Wishing to see for ourselves the whole
process of pulque- making, says letter
from Mexico to the Springfield Rej'HJtjcan,
we journeyed to the plains of Apam not
long since to visit a maguey hacienda.
The tlachiquero took us in charge
official who is practical chief of both
plantation and factory. We made a
rather picturesque caravan as we sailed
forth in pursuit of information. First
rode the tlachiquero, his bronze skin con-
trasting well with his white dress, his
immense sembrero and leather apron, and
the implements of his profession dang
ling from his belt Betsey and followed,
mounted upon donkeys so diminutive
that our dresses nearly dragged upon the
ground, our beauty enhanced by blue
goggles which experience has taught us
the value of wearing in this sunny coun-
try. The poems brought up the rear,
each driving a donkey laden with pig
skins, into which aqua miel was to be
poured. The tlachiquero tells me that
he goes periodically among his vegetable
cows, marking those which have reached
the period of eiilorescence and are there
fore ready for milking, by cutting cross
upon the topmost leaf. Three times a
day for three months each is MIXED at
3 o'clock a. NJ, at A. NJ. and again at
p. M.-the poorest yielding at least 12j
gallons before it dies.
We went from plant to plant, watch
ing the process OF inserting the gourd
with the cows horn point and the suck
ing of the siphon till the COWS" were
all exhausted, and then our little caravao
took up its line of march for the tinacal

solemn procession, each peon as he passed

is occupied by huge watts of oX-hide, the
hairy side up, called tinas. In each tina
was IL thick curd of madre (mother)
pulque, which performed the office Of
leaven, and whose very "ancient and
tishy SMELL outrivaled far-famed Co.
logne. When the pig-skins had been
carefully opened and the aqua miel was
ready for pouring out, the tlachiquero
seized long stake, which is always kept
ready for the purpose, and made the
sign of the cross in the rotten curds,
eNcaiming devoutly: Ava Maria puris-
sima to which the Indians fervently
responded: Alabad sea Dios Y la SAINTS
sima Trinidad we praise God and the
sacred trinity After about three hours
of fermentation in the watts the liquor is
drawn in barrels for the pulque shops
and the flower dccked booths which
adorn all the highways and byways of
Mexico.

Men who go down to the sea in
ships most decidedly do see some
strange sights, nor are the yarns they
spin whit less strange. No exception
to the rule of sailors is Commodore Tenn
pie, of the United States navy, who,
one night not long ago, sailing on the
vastly deep, heard pattering as of a
heavy-rain falling on deck. lie got up
to reconnoitre and found himself as
sailed with missiles on all sides, which he
at first took for hail stones, but which
proved to be beetles. The commodore
was so disconnected by this that he
''pipcd all hands," but, as our contem-
porary from whose columns we read
this marvellous tale says, the men no
sooner came on deck and got struck by
the flying beetles then they bolted in ter.
ror. The captain determined to have
the matter out, though his face was
well nj Oh pounded to a Jelly, beside
being bitten and stung. He discovered
that he was sailing through the midst
of shower of beetles, which seemed to
get thicker every minute In fact, the
living storm got so dense that he was
unable to see pipe lighter when he
applied it TO the end of his meerschaum.
The insects swarmcd down into the
cabin and engine-room, and completely
stopped the machinery. After an hour
of this sort of fun, the storm passed
over. 1t was then found that the be-
ties, which were not much bigger than a
grasshopper, covered the deck in a solid
mass to the depth of two feet, while the
yards and shrouds were smeared with
them, smashed to a sort of yellow paste.
1t was fully day before the sailors
could quite rid the ship of them, and a
large shoal of fish swan behind the YES
sci, waiting to swallow the squash
bugs" as they were pitched overheard.

To Cure Round shoulders.

More than thirty years ago, writes
some one to the New York Tribune, | got a
habit of being round shouldered. In try
ing to find a remedy, the following plan,
which grew out of my knowledge of
anatomy, came in sight: Hook the fin
gers of the hands together, raise the ell
bows as high as the shoulders and pull
like a shoemaker. The muscles about
the shoulder-b blades, to keep them in
place, are thus strengthened. and in a
short time enabled to fulfill their proper
office. While lying on the back press
the head on the pillow so as to raise the
chest up from the bed on which you are
reclining. This strengthens the muscles
that should hold the head erect. When
standing or sitting, where the head can
press against something solid, repeat the
operation. BY little thought at other
times to use the muscles, the difficulty
may be overcome.

The perfection Of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production Of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by it's taste. It
is delicate, with smart smack Of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is it's
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by
