CHINESE DRINKS.

There are nu drunkards Ia China,

Vet u b. as easy o. get intoxicated m
China az elseW here, and perhaps easier,
Tor drinks are cheaper. Wine "f all
kinds has been known and drunk lu
the Celestial kingdom since the days Of
the Chau dynasty, some -nh wears
y. c. Everybody drank the fcrment-
ri grape juice ina those days, and a
gold cure establishment would have
coined money had 1t existed
Things went from hal tu va Sc, UNI
al one Of the cmpcrurs of the Chan
dynasty went upon prutractcd spree.
When he began tu ''sre things he
stopped short and reformed, and de
manded reformation un the part oi all
his subjects. lie dccreed the dcstruc-
tiun of all wine cellars, distilleries and
saloons. Since then vine made of the
grape has been questionable in China,
aud scarcely any iSmude there or used.
Among the native beverages is shoa-
shiug, n palish brown mixture, the
taste of which suggests ripe hickory
nuts. 1t is served at all state ban
ductS and also at all private dinners.
When cold it is cloudy; when warm
it grows clear, emitting peculiarly
pleasant odor
What shua-shiug is to the upper
classes, sam-shui is to the masses. 1t
is made from rice and is its triple dis
tillatc. Old sam-shui is very eXpen-
sive and tastes like old sherry.
Koa-ling is made from Monaghan
millet, and bears II family resemblance
TO rye whiskey. 1t is drunk only in
Northern China, but has large use
in the making of liqueurs. OF these
latter. ung- ka-peh or wo-shia-pi is the
best known. 1t is thick, oilyand yell
low, and is Il cross between yellow
Chartrcuse and Bcnedictine. It's
taste is sweetish and aromatic, and it
has a great reputation as an appetiser.
Other liqueurs made from koa-ling
are moo-qua, made of koa-ling and
melon; meu-kwai--loo, ying-toa, and
hundreds of other drinks.
Then there is fun-chin, or raw alco-
hol, used for medicinal purposes. Fer
mented fruit juices and flower wine,
made by stepping petals or leaves, are
also common beverages. Garanium
wine is Il horrible connection, while
bayleaf wine is the equivalent of the
bay rum used by our BARRIERS. All
told there are some 1000 distinct
drinks in China, yet drunkards are al

summer Care of Blankets.

Blankets after the winter use arc never
clean, and should not be put away without
being washed Many housekeepers in view
of the shrinking and discoloting caused
by washing. satisfy themselves with airing
and shaking their blankets, but this is
a great mistake, for if the work is prop
arly done the soft appearance and white
ness may be retained for years.
Ihe most important consideration in
washing blankets is to have plenty Of
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
soap is really the cause of the injury done
wooden goods in washing, as it hardens and
yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free of dust. fill
z tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis
solve third of cake OF Ivory soap in it
Put one blanket in ut a time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands
Never rub soap ON blankets, or wash
on the dashboard. After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
tree of suds Add little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wiring, and hang on the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away in box securely to
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than if put away
sOiled year after year. ELIZA r. PARKER.

he lays his hand on my shoulder and sez:
'Jeptha Jones. the Lord will know who
contributed money TO the meetin house
