to hole on the opposite side of the gourd.
The basin yields from four to eight quarts
per day, according to the size and thrift
ness of the plant, for period of three
months, after which the plant dies, and is
replaced by a new one, which the provi-
dent owner has been raising from shoots.
But even in death its usefulness is not
over, for then its valuable fibres may be
utilized and its leaves pounded into paper
pulp. From the gourd-shell the juice is
emptied into pig-skin, which still retains
the perfect form of the animal-legs, tail,
all intact but the head When this unique
bottle holds the honey-water, all that now
remains to make frst-class pulque of it is
to put it into bottle of the same material
that has already been soured, and which
acts like yeast. In two or three hours fer
mentation has taken place, and then the
tavorite beverage is ready for drinking.
Every Mexican estate cultivates more or
less maguey. The mighty plants answer
for hedges and mark the boundaries of
lots and lands, two rows-with their enor-
nous leaves and bayonet-like thorns-
ing an impenetrable fence.
IT NEEDS NO MOISTURE.
Not only are the hedge rows thus profit
ably utilized, but rocky, dry lands, which
even the rattlesnake disdains to inhabit
will grow maguey, yielding an abundance
of juice, the more astonishing since none
can tell whence it derives any moisture.
Frequently out of bed of bare rock.
scarcely covered by semblance of vegeta-
BILE earth, the imposing plant is seen lifting
its simertas-shaped 'leaves, rich and green,
from fifteen to twenty feet high Neither
heat nor cold, drought nor inundations,
affect it, but like the unfailing fountains
in the desert, it furnishes the poorest In
dian with the beverage most pleasing to
his taste, without money and without price.
Very little pulque is sold at wholesale, as
all Mexican estates which make business
of cultivating maguey maintain shops in
towns, from which the liquid product is
sold by the glass or gallon. A certain
aristocrat of this city, who rides in his car
riage and is reckoned among the magnates
of the land, has five of these pulque shops,
from which he is said to derive revenue
of about S25, 900 per annum. 0na thou
sand acres of land (Which is considered
small farm in this country million plants
of all ages may be fourishing, of which
say 100000 will be maturing plants from
five to six years old; 5000 will yield pulque
annually, 1000 Of them producing a daily
average of $500 gallons, worth on the spot
from to cents per gallon-a neat little
income.

Careful for Others.

HouShold Words.
1t was delightful to hear some one say,
not long ago, that she did not think she
had any right to spend two hours at a time
with friend, without a special invitation,
since it could not fail to be an interruption;
and it was pleasant to think that one per-
son so respected the rights of Others Pic
ture some one, who has assured himself
that he is not likely to find amusement
under his own roof, setting forth in search
of more agreeable place to spend the eve
ming. He hunts from door to door; find
ing that one family has honestly paid its
money, and gone to play, another is din
ing out the third enjoying its invited guest,
while at the fourth he is met at sight with
the information that the ladies are engaged.
Perhaps at the fifth he gains an admit
tance. One person rises hurriedly from
the sofa; another puts down her book with
sigh, another comes reluctantly from
desk, where some notes and letters must be
written at some time during that evening,
and the stricken group resigns itself to the
demands of friendship and society. The
master of the house returns presently to
his avocation with brave excuse 1t may
be eight o'clock when the guest comes; it
may be nine, and he may be kind-hearted
and unobjectionable; he may even be prof.
table and entertaining; but he stays until
after ten; everybody thinks that he never
means to go, and inwardly regrets his pres
ence. For half an hour he could have
felt sure of welcome; in that time he Ger
tainly could have said and done all that
was worth doing, and have been asked to
stay longer or to come again soon, when
he took his leave There is no greater
compliment and tribute to ones integrity
than to be fairly entreated to sit down for
ten minutes longer OF course we treat
each other civilly in an evening visit, but
it is great deal better to come away too
soon than to stay to late. In busy, over
worked, and overturned city life especi-
ally, nothing is so precious as a quiet even
ing to ones self, Or even a part of one.
We all wish-or ought to wish-to make
life pleasant to ourselves and other people,
and are ready to be generous even with
our time; but no one likes to be plum
dered and defrauded. 1t is the underly-
ing principle of our neighbor's action and
conduct toward us which makes us thank
full or resentful when he or she comes to
visit u.s.

Black Skin and Golden curls.

A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says:
''The strange sight of a girl with goldon
curls reaching nearly to her waist, and yet
with skin as black as ebony, was presented
in this city Monday. This freak of nature
is the only child of family named Lor-
gan, residents of Philadelphia until within
a short time. She was noted for her
beauty, and moved in the best circles Of
society. 1t was finally discovered that for
some time she had been habitual arsenic
eater, and steps were taken to overcome
the habit. Shortly after she became Sc
riously ILL., and for long time her life was
despaired of. Upon her recovery yellow
spots began to show themselves on her
face, and these rapidly extended and grew
darker until she became as black as an
Ethiopian. The skin on the body not ex-
posed to the air, however, remains yellow.
The case battles the physicians, and she
was taken to the Hot Springs of Arkansas
by her dirtsacted parents, but all to no
purpose, The young lady is otherwise in
good health, but is morbidly sensitive, and
has isolated herself from the world, refus-
ing to see even her most intimate friends, "
