BEER FROM BANANAS.
How African Natives Make This Spirit
Ous BeNerage.

To the natives of Africa of the pres
ent time beer prepared from malt and
hops is unknown. But there exists no
lack of intoxicating beverages among
the sons of the Black Continent. They
are not required TO wait for the fire
water of the Europeans to be sent to
them. They understand how to pre-
pare spurious beverages of their own,
and they also become intoxicated by
them. The Africans make wine and
beer. but neither grape juice is used
for the former nor malt extract for the
latter. Palm leaves of different kinds,
bananas and millet furnish the raw
materials, says an exchange.
Palm wine is made from the sap ooz-
ing from the cutoff blossom stems of
the oily palm tree and of the cocoa
tree. 1t is a pleasant. refreshing bev-
erage, and sufficiently well known.
From the fruit of the banana tree a
beverage is made in Afica which they
drink there as wine or beer.
Banana beer is chiefly used by the
natives of Uganda, a country border
ing on Lake Victoria. The people there
are fond of such beer. and when Emin
Pasha went to Rubaga to meet King
Mtesa he wrote in his diary: This is
a real beer trip; from village to village,
or. rather. from beerspot to beerspot,
we are marching on"
In that country the manufacture of
the banana beverage IS very extern

THEOSOPHY is A HUMBUC.
DIR. Eliot Cones. the Scientist, Gives ths
Result of His Investigation.


DR.. Eliot Cones, the distinguished
scientist, who was for several years
member OF the American Theosophical
society, and at one time its president
in an interview on the Besant-Judge
controversy, denounced the Theosophi-
cal society as a vile. wicked humbug.
says the Milwaukee Evening Wiscon-
sin. ~ here is nothing but fraud on
one hand and folly on the other in the
Theosophical society," he said at
Washington recently. "and there is not
even pretense of anything else among
those who conduct the affair. An these
so-called Mahatma letters are fakes,
pure and simple, and the propulsion of
the astral body a gigantic joke" 'fl
Regarding his investigation OF the
osophy. he said: e-FIE
Il was merely investigating for my
self as a scientist, as any scientist il
bound to do in a matter of vital in
terest. both in its psychological and it's
ethical aspects. 1t is not particularly
to my credit, as 1 have stated more
than once. that 1 found the Theosophi-
cal society ceSspool of filth and fraud
owned and operated by a few knaves
at the expense of not many dupes. Av-
erage intelligence would discover that
without difficulty. Nine. Blavatsky
was a wonderful woman, world wise
and world worn, vastly shrewd and alb
ominably wicked. She started this
theosophical idea in the spirit of
joke, and, finding IL easy to delude the
credulous, continued it as a business.
Il have in my possession her origi-
nal letters containing her instructions
to her confederates and servants as to
the manner in which her disciples were
to be fooled. She set up in Madras
what she called a shrine. This shrine
was a cupboard having a false back,
which opened into her dressing room.
The faithful would place their petit
tions to the Mahatma Koot Homi in
this closet. Blavatsky would get them
and write answers in blue and red
pencil and put them back. Then the
petitioners would get them and be
overwhelmed with spiritual fervor She
had rag baby which would be stuck
on a pole and raised to the window of
shrine and when the believers would
see this at the aperature they would
cry out, My there's Mahatma.'"

THEY WERE GENTLEMEN.
But Had Forgotten to Pay For The Sun
day school Piano.

Three gentlemen of Cincinnati. one n
contractor, another a travelling sales
man and the other a lawyer, belong to
the same church, and some time ago
they bought a piano for the Sunday
school, payments for which were to be
made every six months.
The first year all was well; the pay
ments were made on time. The second
year there were some delays. and now
for some time the last payment has
been due, but ON account of hard times
and many reverses the school has been
unable to raise the money. Many let
tiers from the correspondent of the
music store has been the result. The
three men CHANGED to meet the other
evening.
Il had another letter to-day about
that Sunday school piano." said one.
The others said they had. too.
The salesman said THE fellow said
it was dishonorable for a gentleman
and a Christian to make a contract
and then break it,
The others said the same thing was
in their letters.
The salesman went on in an impa-
tient tone of voice: And he wanted to
know If / realize how far-reaching such
acts of neglect of duty were, and that
he believed the conversion of the heath
enin distant lands was retarded by just
such kind of stuff"
my letter was just like it," said the
contractor. II threw the thing in the
waste basket"
We'll, 1 didn't" said the salesman.
II sat down and wrote him a long let
ter. explained everything and told him
he should have the money just as soon
as possible"
Mine was exactly of the same
stripe" said the sarcastic, keen-eyed
lawyer. II took ii and wrote on the
back of the sheet Rats, and sent it
back to him"
