a FiIipino Beverage.

Tuba is the national drink Of the
Filipinos. and its factories are plenti-
full throughout the islands, says the
New York Herald. The sole plant is a
cocoanut palm. a native, armed with
a short bolo, chops notches in the
trunk and climbs to the top. Up
among the great spreading leaves he
cuts off the end Of the young stem that
bears the cocoanuts and ties in its
place hollow joint Of bamboo to
catch the dripping sap.
The next day our native makes his
rounds again, carrying, quiverlike. a
hollow section OF bamboo over his
shoulder, to hold the drink that kindly
nature has distilled for him.
The juice is usually colored with
bark, which adds flavor desirable to
Filipino palates. It makes mildly
fermented drink. not more intoxicat-
ing than sweet cider when fresh, but
gathers power with age. They like it
only when fresh, however, and
drunken native is rarely seen.
At the market stands the foaming
beverage is ladled out Of an earthen-
ware jar with a bamboo dipper. For
a copper ducko each patron receives
his portion in piece OF cocoanut

Vegetation on Rome's Monuments.
The monuments Of Rome are now
under observation, not only by foreign
ers, but by the Italian government. It
has been discovered that parasitic
plants grow at the top Of most of the
Roman monuments. At the top of the
white marble column in the center of
the Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore
there was till few days ago thriv.
ing plant Of wild fig tree. It was
beginning to eat away one Of the top
most ornaments of the column. But
it has now been removed. Twelve
figs were found on the plant. The
monument is now under repair. The
affair has caused quite little hutter
and the Piazza has been crowded with
people to watch the uprooting process.
This column is the only one left Of
Constanhne's first church in Rome.

Military Authorities Agree on Value

All military authorities on the con.

mense advantage which will accrue
10 the power which, at the outset OF .
war, can most quickly place in the
Aeld . superior force of efficient
mounted troops. One result Of this
belief is the extreme care with which
each OF the great military powers Of
the continent watches the strength
and distribution OF the cavalry Of its
neighbors. At the present moment
some disquietude exists in the Triple
Alliance, because the cavalry Of the
Double Alliance has become superior,
numerically, to their own. In the
event of war, France could place in
the field 327 squadrons and Russia

squadrons, while the Triple Alliance
could only MUSTER TAG sQuadrons, or
