ARECA Nut WINE.
Slight Demand for Arrack, Favorite
Liquor of East Indians.

If arrack. the favorite drink of East In
dams. justified One-half of the praise of
poets and travellers x would no. be selling
in the New York market, 1t is. for 81 Z.
quart, and the demand for It would long
ago have bten sufficient to make ar-ack
drinking fad. Few wines or liquors have
been so often, so long or SO generously
extolled as arrack, but though described
as the drink of the kings and princes, Of
fairies and magicians, of warriors and
wanderers. it somehow does not seem 10
take hold in this country. aud practi-
cally the only use found for il is as a
foundation for punch.
The belief is general, out. though gen.
eral erroneous, that arrack is formed
from the fermentation of cocoanuts and
nut wine As a matter of fact, arrack is
produced from the areca nut, or the ar
rack tree. The word is of Indian origin
and the term is applied in most parts of
any sort of spirituous liquor. Arrack is
distinguished from otehr ardent spirits
by ITS stimulating and narcotic proper
ties; its flavor Is peculiar and 1t differs
considerably in consequence of the vari-
Gus articles of which it is prepared and
the unequal care taken in its manufac-
ture.
Batavia or Java arrack is considered the
best; it is obtained by distillation from
rice and n1olasses, with only a small mix
ture of cocoanui toddy. Ceylon arraclx
is invariably made from The vegetable
juice toddy. which flows by .ncision from
the cocoanut tree; after the juice is fer
mented it is distilled and rectilied; some
are of the opinion that it is equal to the
Batavia.
Arraclz is white and transparent Pine
apples STEPPED in 4 i44,part an exquisite
flavor to the spirit ana by age it be-
comes unrivaled for making punch. Sew
eral thousand gallons arc sold in this
country for that purpose each year, but
as a steady drink it mas attained no Sic
cess. The number of East Indians N the
United States is insignificant and when
they drink, they drink rum--New York

EIGHT-HOUR LAW is GOOD.
Supreme Court Says That It. Is Con.
stitutionai.

StltuttOnaI.
Washington, Dec. 2. - The United
States supreme court yesterday al
frmed the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law of the State Of Kansas
regulating labor on public works. The
law was enacted in 1891, and it pro-
vides that eight hours shall constitute
a days work for workmen employed
by or on behalf of the state, or by n
county or city or other municipality in
the state. 1t also prohibits contractors
from requiring laborers engaged on
work for the state to perform more
than eight hours labor a day. The
case decided yesterday was that of w.
w. Atkins VS.. the State of Kansas.
Atkins had a contract with the corpor-
alton OF Kansas City, Kan, for paving
and he was charged with requiring a
workman named Reese to labor ten
hours a day. He was prosecuted in
the state courts, where the decisions
were uniformly against him.
