The news comes from Paris that an
effective way has been discovered of
inoculating against drunkenness.
Drs. Kepler and Thebot. in conjunc-
ton with NJ. Broca, a chemist. have.
it is said, found and tested a specific
serum against alcoholism. They
claim that the serum, which is eX-
tracted from the veins of a horse
which has been alcoholized, OF turned
into a confirmed drunkard, inspires
in the patient an invincible distaste
for sPirituous liquors. 1t may be

SUNSET.

TtIra not TO the east when the day is declining
And the glory Of sunset l. here;
Too sad Is the light the far hilltops defining
In outlines too pensively clear.
Tho,jCNair was the morning its gladnsss is past,
And the days brightest beams are reserved for
the last.
The morn Is for growth and the noontide is
stronger
In all that Is brsvest and best,
But the hands become weary as shadows grow
longer,
And we look 10 the evening for rest.
And why should We sigh for the mornings delight
When ripe for the quiet and peace OF the night?
Turn not TO the east when the day is declining,
Nor muse on the past with a tear.
When bright Ger the hilltOps the red light il
shining,
And the glory Of sunset is here.
Enjoy. then, the moment, the brightest and best,
When morning is dawning away IN the west.

1t is worth considerable to any citi-

COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
The National Dish, Chupc, and How
IL Is Prepared.


The stoves Of the Bolivian Indians
are curious things. \ hole is dug in
the ground about IL inches deep and a
foot square. and over this is built a
SoOf of clay with holes of different
sizes to receive the various cooking
pots. Roasting is done on spits pass
ed through the holes. so that the meat
comes out very much smoked unless
great care is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom of the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses is "chupe," sort
of first cousin TO the Irish stew. 1t is
a cOnglomcratc. composed of irregular
constituents from the animal and vege
table Kingdoms, a mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;
chicken, fish. fruits, potatoes. carrots,
barley, corn. rice, onions, vans, etc,
chopped up, highly seasoned with pep
pers and herbs and stewed to con-
sistency of pOrridge. What happens
to be left from one meal SINNERS in
the pot until the next. If the fire goes
ont. the ''chupc'' is allowed to cool,
but il Is warmed up again and a new
supply OF the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities. at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French or
Swiss cooks. the "chupe" is savory and
palatable, but the farther you go from
the centers of civilization the worse it
gets. One eats it at first under pro-
test. then from necessity and only TO
escape starvation. but finally the stOm-
ach rebels. and you limit your diet to
boiled eggs and fruit. which are usual

The intent and significance Of Sem
ator Spooner's resolution to give to
the president by law power absolute
in dealing with the Philippines will
occasion no surprise to those who
have been observing the gradual
drift of the government toward i'm
pearialism. The effect of the proceed
ing which Senator SPooner fathers
would he to place the government of
the colonial empire, sought to be es-
tablished, in the hands of the eXecu-
tive branch of the government eNclu-
sively, and while it pretended that
such conditions should prevail only
until peace is established. once made
it the law it will stick until the re-
publican party is overthrow, and be-
yond that such principles as will be
applied to the distant lands under the
flag. whether justly or not, will, if per-
mitted. in the not far distant future, be
tried on our own shores. Take the
rights of the people from them in one
instance without a protest and vest
them in single man. and it will not
be long until the people are deprived
of all the powers of government vest
ed in them under the constitution.
Then we will realize what empire
