Madness-P Producing Drink,

The coal region foreigner has a reputa-
ion for lawiessness which comes from sto-
ries of murders and assaults committed
oy him, of fights at wedding celebrations
and at chirstenings and of rioting on pay
lay nights. For all these performances
2olinky is to blame. 1t is necessary in or
Ter to enjoy the payday night carousal
properly for the foreign coal miner to be
trunk and he achieves this condition with
polinky The men who invented polinky
were too short of cash to buy whisky
alone, and beer did not have sufficient ef-
fect on them. So pohnky was invented,
and it has served its purpose, producing
ibout the most devi)ish fighting drunk that
was ever possessed by man.
The receipt is simple. First is needed
wash tub. Sometimes this is not so clean
as it might be, but that is trivial mat
ter.
Half keg of beer is emptied into it,
and into the beer is put about a gallon
of whisky, rank, raw whisky. Some spices
are added to taste. and the mixture is thor
oughy stirred Serve in anything, and re-
plenish TO suit the thirst.
Given proper quantity Of polinky. a
christening or wedding feast which starts
at will become lively at 10, and will pro-
duce a fight at IL, and. with little effort.
a murder at u. If not the murder then
there will be general free fight in which
all sorts OF weapons are used except the
polinky tub.
So dcmoraliZing are these payday fights
and the consequent murders and injuries
that the police now stop them in the in
cipient stage wherever possible, and in the
last year or so they have become less fire.

GOVERNMENTS TINY HELPERS.

The most wonderful staff of assist
ants in the world is employed by the
department of agriculture of the Unit

foreigners and it may be suggested
that they have been imported in def

none is likely to object, for they are
doing great work.
AS the result Of the labor OF one
elias of these employees, it will be possi
BILE to put Is tons of American growr
figs on the market this year. This is
due to the fg-fertilzing insect which
was imported from Syria and without
which it was impossible to make a
single fig tree yield fruit. 1t was only
this insect that could transfer the
pollen in such way that the trees
were fertilized.
