A Fine Kentucky Mare Drinks 10 or

Danville, Ky.-Mollie. the fancy buggy

county, developed a singular appetite night

on the farm had prepared half-barrel

and left IT in the lot where the mare was,
to remain overnight. so that 1t would be
ready for use early the next morning.
During the night the mare ran across
the barrel containing the mixture of limo
and water, and not only drank all of it,
but scraped the bottom of the barrel
clean of the surplus lime that had settled
there. She was found the next morning
PROSTATE and evidently suffering the
most excruciating torture. Her head was
swollen to several times its natural size
Mr.. Logan sent to this city in great
haste for a veterinarian, who poured sew

together with three dozen raw eggs.
This soothing treatment seemed to quel

A feature of the case that makes It

"A precious stone, which at the present
time is very valuable. because 1t is the
stone of the hour, is the peridot or "even-
ing emerald" 1t is lovely stone, with its
exquisite shades of transparent green, the
best suggestion of whose hue Is the ef-
feet produced by looking at the light
through a delicate leaf. Jewellers say that
the peridot is species of olivine, of the
same class as the beryl, aqua-marine, and
the topaz. and that It is, in fact, the an
cient "topazion, otherwise known as
chrysolite 1t is found in Egypt, Ceylon
and Brazil, good crystals being exceed
ing rare. OF the various shades of green
olive, leaf pstachio, or leek, the clear
leaf green IS the most admired. OF all
these precious stones the peridot is the
most difficult to polish. The final touch
is given on a copper wheel moistened with
suiphuric acid, a process which requires
the greatest care, for If dipped into the
acid the stone has the popularity of becom-
ing soluble. Sometimes it Is cut in rose
form. or like a carbuncle, but II is bet
ter and more valuable when worked in
small steps. as the brilliance is thus in
creased. Owing to the quality Of softness
the Deridot has been considered of little
value, but now that Z is the fashion fab
ulous prices are charged for the stone.

whisky Making in the Philippines.

whisky Making I'm the PhiIippines
Correspondence of the New York Times.
The natives of the Philippine Islands
have natural love for strong lntoxicants,
particularly whisky, and IL their process
of manufacturing it were not so terribly
slow they would all be hard drinkers AS
it Is, they drink all they can get Tagal
whisky is made from the juice of the sugar
cane, fermented and distilled The Juice
is extracted by pounding the cane over
piece of log and allowing the juice to fall
into a trough. Then the cane is broken into
fine pieces, water is poured over IT, and It
is allowed to stand in the sun until II
ferments Then 1t is ready for the ingen-
ious native process of distillation. -Four
gallon water jugs are set on the ground
as close as their bullying sides will permit
Earth is covered over the upper part, and
falls down part way. where II is stopped
by the bullying Jugs. thus leaving an open
space underneath around the bottoms of
the jugs. The heat from the furnace pass
es through this opening and boils the fer
mented juice with which the vessels are
filled. The steam passes out through pieces
of hollow bamboo, and, still in bamboo
pipes, 1t is introduced into a hollow log
standing on end. Water from the creek
flows through this log over the cells of
bamboo which contain the steam, which
quickly condenses and falls into large
jug set to catch It, while the thirsty ma
tives, wait around and fume at the slow
process. Certainly the whisky is pure, and
the missionaries say It is healthy, and,
queerly enough do not object TO the ma
tives' use of It. They probably consider II
wise to consent to what they cannot pre-
vent. On account of its purity the whisky
never deranges the stomach, but a quart
of II intoxicates quickly and thoroughly.

ILLINOIS VILLAGE TRAGEDY.
Crazed Farm Hand Wounds Two Men
and Kills Himself.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. B.--At the little viii
lage of Mitchell, Madison county, Illinois,
about twelve miles north of this city, a
horrible tragedy was enacted by Louis
Banker, a hitherto quiet and inoffensive
farm hand, who became suddenly crazed
as the result of a fight between two of his
friends. AS the result, Phillip German, the
village blacksmith, and Andreas WEIGH
were wounded, the former fatally, and
Louis Banker, the shooter, is dead by his
own hand.
The trouble occurred in a saloon where
about twenty men had co~ngregated for an
evenings sport. 1t began when William
Gilman, a farmer, became drunk and picked
a quarrel with Joe Hanks, a friend of the
murderer. This enraged Louis Banker who
was sitting quietly by and seemed to trans
port him into a demon. He drew a revolver,
backed himself up to the wall and defied
of Banker, tried to quiet the latter and re-
ably prove fatal, for it is thought to have
lodged in the lungs. The insane wrath of
Banker was then turned on Mrs. Martin,
the saloon keepers wife, whom the in
furiated man next fired at. Her life was
saved by Andreas WEIGH, who stepped be-
fore the woman just in time to catch the
bullet in his arm, the bones of which were
shattered. With a shout of frenzied joy and
rage Banker then drove the panic-stricken
crowd out of the saloon and ended the
tragedy by blowing out his own brains.
The coroner returned a verdict in accord
ance with the facts.
