PHILIPPINE BOOZE.
Tho Natives Make Ii from Juice of the
Sugar Cane.

From the New York sun.
The natives. who have never been
away from their respective islands, and
have seen less than a dozen white peO-
pie in lifetime, know the art Of max
ing an ntoXCant as well as the most
scientific man. In the baCkwoods of
the smaller and unfreQucntod Philip
Pine Islands the natives make brandy
from sugar cane.
Fortunately for their drinking habits
the process of making the intoXicant is
slow and labUrious. The lazy and
sloycnly native would never spend so
much time and muscle i'm producing
anything else but an intoXiCant. Bocal
brandy is made from the juice Of the
sugar cane, fermentCd and distilled.
The juice is extracted by pounding the
cane over a piece of log and allowing
the juice to fall into d trough. When
the cane is broken into fine pieces water
is poured over it and it is allowed to
stand in the sun until it ferments. Then
it is ready for the ingenious native
process Of dstillation. Four gallon
water jugs are set on the ground as
close as their bulging sides will per-
NIT. Earth is covered over the upper
part and falls down part way, whore
it is stopped by the bulging jugs, thus
leaving an open space underneath and
around the DCttom Of the jugs. The
heat from the furnace passes through
this opening AMI hOils the fermented
juice with which the jugs are filed.
The steam passes out through pieces Of
hollow bamboo, ana, still in bamboo
pipes. it 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 a large jug set to catch it,
while the thirsty natives wait around
and fume at the slow process. Ger
tainly the stuff is pure and the CathO-
lie missionaries say it is healthful and
queerly enough, do not object to the
natives use Of it. They probably con-
slider il wise TO consent to what they
cannot prevent.
on account Of its purity the whiskcy
never derangeS the stomach, but d
quart of it intOXicates quickly.

ATTACKED BY A CAT.
Little Girl Painfully Injured by n
Vicious Animal.

A pet cat which was taken suddenly
i'll yesterday alarmed the household
of John q. Evans, of Belmont street.
After due deliberation the head of the
family came to the conclusion the
animal was dangerous and decided TO
have it shot. The executioncr shot
wild and the cat, more scared than
injured, ran under the stoop out of
harms way. 1t was not seen again for
some little time and it was supposed
it had given up it's nine lives.
Later, however, the little ten-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Dimock ran near the stoop and the
cat sprang upon her, buryinG its teeth
in her knee and Clawing viciously
at her leg. 1t took three persons to
tear the enraged animal loose.
DR.. d. l.. Bailey was summoned and
he took charge of the injured girl.
The wounds are ugly, but the greatest
fear is of poisoning. The cat was
killed.

From the Engineering News
"Rapid-tire" or quick firing" guns
are frequently referred to at this time,
but few laymen really appreciate the
meaning of the term, as contrasted
with the "slow-fre' breech-loader. The
distinction is not one of size, for the
rapid-fire system has extended from
one-pounder projectiles to four-inch,
five-inch and siX-inch guns throwing
SO, 20 and l0O-pOund shot or shell. The
essential difference is In the method
of loading, Instead Of opening the
hreech and inserting the projectile and
the powder separately, the latter in

WHY ONE MAN IS BITTER.

His Young sister bought the vioIets
to Send 10 His Sweetheart.
ST. Valentines day is a sad reminder
to young man on l street. A year
ago during the second week of Febru-
ary he had an attack of the grip, says
the Washington Post. He wanted to
send a charming young woman some
violets, and was compelled to ask n
very young sister to buy them for him.
He snappishly refused to tell for what
purpose he wanted the flowers, for he
had grip and his head ached. The young
girl returned with q box neatly wrapped
In paper. The young man slipped his
card in without untying the package,
and bribed his little brother to carry
the offering to the object of his ntten-
tions. That evening the young sister
visited the sickroom.
"Did you like the violets?" she asked.
Didn't look at them"
"They were beauties" said the girl.
"I got them at special sale. They
were marked down from one dollar to
so cents-great big bunch, too"
"a big bunch of real violets for so
cents-great big bunch, too"
"a big bunch of real violets for SO
cents ct this time of the yearl" said
the sick man.
"Real violets!" echoed the sister.
"Real violets! Why, you didn't say any
thing about real violets. I thought
they were for mammals bonnet. /
bought artificial violets!"
The young man had never attempted
to explain the matter to the young lady
who received the flowers, but if you
talk to him about the natural intelli-
gence of young girls you will find him
nightly bitter and gloomy on the sub
iect.
