ANCIENT AZTEC swEETMEATs.
Delicncies of Montezuma's Time
Made by Mexican Indians.

Made by Mexican Indians.
From the New York Post.
Some of these days a clever his
torian will discover and publish the
daily bill of fare which Montezuma Of
/ Tered the mobiles of his court. 1t must
have been very excellent, judging from
the relics which have survived the
clash OF war and centuries. The ia
male, the chill con carne and the tor
tilla are three dishes of which we
know considerable. and of late years
we have begun to learn something
about the sweetmeats upon which the
children in the Aztec homes once re-
called themselves. They are still made
by the Mexican Indians, and more es-
pecially the Mayas at the present time,
and occasionally a few are brought
by travellers in this city.
They are manufactured chiefly of
fruits and sometimes of nuts and
fruits mixed, and with but little SUI
gar. They are more like macedoines
OF fruits than ordinary preserves. The
favorites are the guava, loquat, orange,
lemon, lime, cocoanut, custard-apple,
pineapple, fig, banana, pawpaw, grape,
currant and berry. The cocoanut is
used just before maturity, when the
meat is still soft and pulpy. In gen.
eral the fruit is cut up, cooked with
very little sweetening. and boiled
QoWn 10 granular paste and then
preserved by the addition Of some
vinous fluid.
The Mexicans to-day employ brandy,
aguardiente. mescal, or strong wine,
so that the finished product bears a
vague resemblance to our own branded
peaches. With the exception of the
guava it is seldom that one fruit is
used alone The common practice is
to combine two or more: cocoanut.
guava and orange are one pleasant
combination; cocoanut. orange and
pineapple a second; orange, pineapple
and pawpaw third; raisins, orange.
banana and cocoanut are a fourth.
Some thirty or forty combinations are
recognized by the rustic housewives.
When the fruit have been properly
boiled down they are transferred to
an earthenware jar or a tin can, COW
cred with the liquor, and then the can
is sealed with paper or other ma
terial. These "dolces" are very eco
nomical, costing hardly as much as
apple butter and ounce butter in our
own markets. There is no reason why
they should not be imported, as they
would find a ready market the moment
their merits became known TO the New
York public

A new game of the most fascinating
nature is attracting the attention of
all the sport-loving members of the
English colony in Berlin.
The name of the newly invented
game would seem to imply that the
missile with which it is played was
"chucked" from one place to another.
Such, however. is not the case. When
the game was first invented 1t differed
in several points from its present state
and a certain amount of chucking was
necessary. Now, however, the name
"Shove-Shove," would be far more
appropriate. To all intents and pur-
poses the game is kind of house,
hold curling" 1t is played on a WE'LL
polished parquet floor. some ten yards
in length. The granite stones used
in curling are replaced by felt disks,
which are showed as near to the goal
as possible by simple. fork-shaped
stick. 1t Is a game of decided posi-
bilities; it affords ample scope for
much practice, and is, in every sense
of the word, a social and sociable
game. The inventor is a Scotchman
residing in Berlin. On April a tour
nament was held In one of the chief
hotels in Berlin, some 400 people be-
ing present. Many members of the
British embassy were spectators, and
numerous representatives of Berlin
society, both German and English.
Prominent among the teams were
those of the Anglo-American Club. who
are taking up the game most enthusl-
astically. The German Students
Academic Club is also entering for
the Chuck Chuck" tournament 1t
seems that the game is likely to GUST
ping-pong, at any rate among the Ger
mans. 1t certainly has one or two
advantages over ping-pong; II is quite
noisless and far less heating and
fatiguing. and is. In fact. a much more
graceful and elegant game in every
way than its noisy and somewhat irri-
tatinR rival.

SALISBURY ON PEACE

london. May THE premier, Lord
Salisbury, as president of the annual
Grand habitation of the Primrose
league at Albert Hall, to-day spoke to
ressinistic strain than when he was
,sst heard in public. He congratulated
the league on the staunch support
given to Conservative governments, one
result of which was that Great Brit
ian was now supreme in Egypt, while
with regard to Ireland, the country
need no longer fear the insane, sui
cidsl projects for imperial disruption,
supported by many of the opposition
statesmen"
At the same time, he said, the coun-
trv must not expect the "ashes of past
conflicts" to be extinguished immedi-
atelv. Great Britain has had great
and serious war: but admitting that
misery and suffering had been caused,
if must be recognized that the power.
prestige, influence and magic effect of
our great empire are more potent,
more efficient and more admirable than
ever before. We have suffered, but
we have greatly Won"
Turning to the peace negotiations,
Lord Salisbury announced that Great
Britain has not receded one inch from
her former position. LAS to rights we
claimed and the policy we intended to
pursue, we are exactly where we were"
he said.
Britain Not Weakening.
The premier repudiated the assertion
that Great Britain was weakening on
the subject of peace terms. He de-
clared the country could not afford to
submit to the suggestion that affairs
should be allowed to slide back into a
position where it would be in the power
of the enemy when the opportunity
suited him to renew the issues for
which this country had fought during
The last three years. When the con-
fict was over all possible would be
done to mould their present OPP
ponents so they could take up
their position in the empire which
had conferred so many blessings on the
human race. But it must be thorough
ly understood that the whole govern
ment of the country was to be of such
a character that it would be impossible
that the struggle could be renewed. 1t
was important that this should be
clear; some people thought the empire
might become tired. He did not wish
to convey the idea that there was any
feeling of bitterness towards the Beers,
for there was nothing the government
more earnestly desired than that they
should enjoy all the privileges con-
ferred on their brother nations by the
colonial system

LOSS OF FLESH.
What Medical Authorities Say as tn
the Danger Line.


Some of the best medical authorities
say that IL a person loses one-third OF
his weight that the system will not
have power enough left to ever recup-
erative. That is to say, if a man or wo-
man who weighs $50 pounds in health
should, for any cause, be reduced to 100
pounds, they could not recover, but
would shortly die. This fixes the danger
line at SO 1S per cent. Some say the
per cent. is a little higher, and some
say it is a little lower But this esti-
mate is probably nearly correct.
Are you losing flesh? If so. do You
not know that 1t is not only foolish but
dangerous? You need not continue TO
lose flesh another day If you will use
the proper remedies.
Peruna is great flesh producer II
is through the mucous membranes Of
the body that all the nutrition must be
absorbed. If the mucous membranes
are healthy. the loss of flesh Is rapidly
restored.
Peruna produces healthy membranes.
Unhealthy mucous membranes is
known as catarrh, Catarrh may be
slight or severe. Peruna always cures
catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh of any of the vital organs
leads to loss of flesh. The catarrh may
be so slight as to give no other warm
ing save the loss of flesh. Any one who
is losing flesh for no apparent reason
can be sure that catarrh is at the bot
tom of it.
Peruna is sure to cure such cases.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peru

Strength.
1t is a good thing to know of food
that will add volumes to ones strength.
for the strong can do things and ac-
complish work in this world while the
weak must stand to one side.
A woman in Toronto writes: IT was

often stop at the foot of the stairs and
wonder how l could get 10 the top.

very short time that weak. broken

breakfasts in order to give my stomach

RAILROADS WILL CONTROL.
Secret of Big Steamship COmbina-
tion G4ts Out.

occEeI OF big SteaHtshAP COmuAhd-
tion G4ts Out.
New York, May THE Evening Post
says to-day that dispatch to that
paper from London to the effect that
some of the large American railroads
are to be the principal owners Of the
steamship combination was confirmed
to-day in trustworthy quarters. The
Post says:
Efforts are being made, however,
to keep the matter as secret as pos
sible because of opposition which has
been stirred up abroad and which might
arise here in case the facts were known
in regard to the ownership of the
steamship companies.
1t is admitted in we'll informed
quarters that it is planned to make
the ocean lines feeders to the largest
railroad transportation companies of
the United States so that it will be
possible to control rates from the
principal interior points of this coun-
try to leading European centers.
Several large railroad companies
supposed to be Eastern trunk lines
are represented in the underwriting
syndicate for $4,000, 900, which has
been informed to guarantee the sue
cess of the steamship deal and these
are supposed to be the Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Erie, Reading and
Baltimore and Ohio. although there is
some doubt whether all of these will
come in.
In regard to the railroads, it
should be said that their interest in
the undertaking does not necessarily
imply that they have officially sub
scribed as yet to the syndicate, but
subscriptions have been entered which
are intended for them, and those who
have taken them are agents for the
railroads."

the estate of Henry B. Plant is now
going on in this city. The sessions of
the appraisers are secret. The Tri-
bune will say tomorrow that the val

ing lines making up the Plant System
of railroads was under consideration
to-day. Some of these are worth lit
tie intrinsically, but as a part of
the Plant System they have
value much in excess of their
original cost. 1t was learned to-day
that the state controllers estimate of
the Plant estate at the time of Mr..
Plants death was $12, 900, 900. Since Mr..
Plants death, however, the valuation,
it was said, has risen to about $780,
