HUNTING PECCARIES.
Fine Sport Among Wild Pigs in the
Colorado Valley.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
A large party of sportsmen left Phoenix,
Ariz., Wednesday for a weeks peccary
shooting on the lower Colorado river, and
from various points in the territory hunt
ers are fiocking toward that district. In
the thick, and sometimes impenetrable, I'M
derbrush, from Yuma to the mouth of the
Colorado, have gathered an immense num-
Der of the wild pigs. and only an OCCASION
al hunter and few Indians have been kill
Ing them. Indeed so fierce have the hogs
become that Indians and white hunters
alike declare that contest with panther
or bear is more perlous than a meeting
with a wounded boar in the dense under
brush.
OF late the high water in the Colorado
has driven the porkers from the lowlands
and in the open they fall an easy prey to
the rife of the hunter The Colorado now
Is at the highest point known in a decade,
the unusually heavy SHOWS in the noun
tains having put all the tributaries to the
big stream far out Of their banks.
Last week party of three from Phoenix
took a small boat from Yuma and going
thirty miles down the river disembarked
and in two days killed more than 600 pigs
They cured the meat and engaged Next
cans to pack it to Yuma, from where it
was shipped to Kansas City.
The meat OF the wild hog. living on diet
OF roots and wild grain, has a peculiarly
nne haVor. and Is in great demand by cpl
cures. The Indians on the Mexican side of
the boundary line have been killing the pigs
by the thousands in the last two weeks and
white traders are buying up the meat and
shipping it out over Gulf of California
steamer lines
The peccaries of the Colorado valley were
unknown fifteen years ago. About that time
Thomas Blythe, the millionaire Califor-
man. made an effort to establish a colony
on the river near the Mexican line. Swine
raising was to be one OF the principal
the north to start the business The colony
was failure and most of the hogs were
turned loose They took refuge in the river
bottoms, and out Of the small beginning
have grown into herds of many thousands

MhN bECOME DRUNK.
fh1losophy OF Inebriety Considered
by Learned Writer

Philosophy of Inebriety Considered
by a Learned Writer.
From the New York Evening Post
A paper just published by Sir Lauder
Brunton AMI DR.. Zunnicliffe upon Ger
tain Apparently Injurious Constituents of
Potable Spirits goes long way toward
explaining the reason for the various phys
Illogical symptoms arising from overindul-
gence in alcoholic liquors, particularly of
whisky. Their researches show that while
intoxicaton is undoubtedly caused by the
ethyl alcohol in the liquor. the actual way
in which inebriatas get drunk, or get So
Der after being drunk, depends on the quail
ity of the liquor partaken of, and that
this quality is positively impurity called
"furfural," which the whisky contains
The source of furfural in the manufacture
Of whisky is class Of substance known
as pentosans: these are derived from the
cellulose of the grain husks, and under the
influence of that, in the presence of acids
are, in the Wash-still, converted into fur
furai.
This furfural in the body tends to pass
into its corresponding acid, thus diminish
ing the alkalnity of the blood, which, &C
cording to most physicians, favors the oc-
currence of equity deposits in the joints
The physiological action of pure furfural
on animals and man was studied and led
pears, to paralysis of the voluntary mus
cles and to clonic and tonic commissions.
The odd point. however. about these
symptoms is their transient nature; imme-
diately after the injection of the drug the
animal would fall completely paralyzed
commissions would ensue, and the animal
would then become rapidly normal The
human subjects who were brave enough to
take this active poison in the same dose
suffered from thro5bing headaches, which
lasted for a day. This result leads to the
most Interesting point of the research 1t
Will probably be generally admitted that
the commonest results of too free potations
on the human subject Is bad throbbing
headache. and this headache appears to be
directly caused by the furfural impurity Of
the liquor.
The reason that old whisky is less liable
to cause headache than new is that ma
turation diminishes the amount of furfuraI
| which it contains. This effect of matura-
ton can also be obtained by distilling the
fresh spirit with phenyl- hydrazine- sulphon-
ate. By this means the authors We're able
to obtain the effect Of 1t upon animals COM
pairing it with that of the same spirit be-
fore distilation. They found that in the
case of the original spirit drunkenness was
| entirely absent, and on becoming sober the
animal appeared perfectly normal and took
| food, with relish. Curiously all 'pick-me-
ups such as citrate Of caffeine are lust
| such substances as neutralize furfural

five inches on each side the nostrils. Some
of the pins are made of turkey bones and
others of kangaroo or emu bones. Some
times parrot quilts are used, the bright col
ored feathers extending out on each side the
nostrils. Some of the natives pierce their
ears, using Kangaroo bones as plugs.
Scars as Ornaments
Among the queer forms of ornamentation
are the soaring and cutting OF the body.
Nearly every native has more or less scars
upon him, and the bigger the scars the
better they Ike 1t. l refer to ornamental
scars. for many of the women are SCARED
by the punishments inflicted upon them by
their husbands. As TO the ornamental scar
ring. this rs done as a matter Of beauty
The skin is voluntarily cut with fints or
shells. powdered charcoal Is busted in and
the wounds are kept open for months.
When they heal they leave ridges on the
body as thick as your finger. These scars
are found on the back and chest, and on
the biceps muscles. They are sometimes
on the thighs and stomachs. Among other
tribes little pieces of skin are cut out to
make scars. the victims yelling with pain
during the operation.
As 10 the scars of the women, these are
often made by the men in way of punish
ment. They look upon the women as their
slaves. and when angry club them and cut

UNCLE SANS CASH
Twelve Bookkeepers Keep Account of
Seven Hundred Millions a Year.
BIG FIGURES IN DAILY BALANCES
The Work is Important and Like
wise Arduous.
WARRANT DIVISION DRAKE"


Written for The Evening Star
Uncle Sam will spend about $50. 600. 600
between July ! and June 30 of next year.
All of that immense sum is accounted for
and ultimate record made of 1t by one set
of bookkeepers, twelve In number, in the
Treasury Department at Washington. BY
these twelve men Uncle Sans daily cash
account is kept straight, and every morn
ing balance is struck showing how much
cash the government took in the day before
from it's various sources of revenue, and
how much was spent by the several depart
ments, and giving the total of the remain
ing cash in hand. Accompanying this daily
balance sheet is a statement made up in
another division showing the character of
the money on hand, gold, silver and bank
notes. 1t is an interesting place, this
counting room of Uncle Sam, where the
state Of the finances is exhibited. A dozen
or so big ledgers and an immense day book,
known in business houses as a 'blotter,"
contain the records. Their pages exhibit
every day exactly the amount of business
the government is doing and whether Uncle
Sans household expenses exceed his in
come or not. 1t must be underst God, of
course, that these accounts are a final
summary of the business transacted and
that a thousand and one other books are
required for the detailed record in other
das, rtr ,a,,tc
