him in his daily work. In their

the date Of erection of the castle,
which is 144G. The other is on the roof.

PuLouE MAeUEY.
The Plant From which Mexico's Ma
tionaI Drink II Made.


Pulque, which is the national drink
Of the Mexicans, IL made from the sap
OF q giant species Of ngave, the fieshy
leaves Of which are sometimes nine
feet long and weigh over a hundred
pounds each. Each plant bears from
twenty-five to fifty leaves around q
massive heshy base, and the largest
ones weigh from one to two tons
apiece.
This pulque maguey, M It is called,
thrlves best at high altitude on the
semlarld plains Of the Mexican table
lands. The valley of Mexico Is the
center Of its cultivation, and many ex
tensiye plantations are devoted entire
" to growing It, yielding large row
enues to their owners. Tie plants when
two or three years old ARE set out in
long parallel rows and reach maturity
in from twelve to fourteen years. In
order TO insure succession Of hnryests,
new settings are planted yearly.
The great fieshy leaves spend all the
years OF their immaturity I'm storing up
quantities Of sweet sap. At the eTpira'

plant has then attained the supreme
moment toward which all the boarding
OF sap during the past years has been
directed, the character OF Its activity
changes, and with marvellous rapidity

The flower stalk, which Ia sometimes
a foot In diameter at the bottom, Is fed
generously ON the store OF sap In the
base and leaves. Its upper end throws
out branches like candelabrum and
greenlsh white flowers spring forth In
clusters. Humming birds, orioles and
various kinds OF insects also attracted
by the nectar OF the blossoms pass
from plant TO plant and thus insure
fertilization. After the seeds form, the
leaves and base. having exhausted
themselves In this final effort, wlther

This Is the ordinary course Of pro-
cedure, but 1t would not suit the plant

RUN ON GOTHAM BANK
EXCITING SCENES IN HEART OF
NEW YORK CITY.
Three Policemen and Two Hebrew
women Are InJured-Necrssary TO
Can Out an E.nerg sncy Detail OF
Police TO Queli the Riot

Three policemen and two Hebrew wo-
men were injured in a run on the State
Bank of Grand Street, in the heart of
the business section Of the east side,
New York, Wednesday. The run was
attended by some sensational incidents.
The 5000 persons crowded about the
bank became so insistent that they broke
down an iron railing around a light well
in front Of the building, and it was only
by desperate clubbing on the part of the
police that the excited and unruly mob
was prevented from forcing many Of its
members into the well. The policemen
and women were hurt at that point. The
emergency police detail of the Delaney
Street station was finally called out and
policemen were stationed at intervals of
five or six blocks on either side. The run
was as extraordinary as the frenzied
character Of the rush itself.
Tuesday there was a rush Of the depos-
itors to get their money into the bank in
time to begin to draw interest ut once,
and the long line Of waiting depositors
convinced the excitable Hebrews that
something was wrong with the institu-
zion. Five hundred persons waited in
front Of the building all night and their
number quickly swelled to 5000 when
the bank opened Wednesday. though not
al of that number were depositors 7"

and n cash reserve of $4,0O0,0OO. and
which Cashier A. v. Voorhis said earn
ed IA per cent profits last year. sent
down street for money early Wednesday
and $250,00O was brought by the wagon
load, largely in specie.
At the sight Of money those waiting
became only more impatient to get ut it.
The bank officials paid depositors off as
fast as the operation could be conducted.
In all the bank paid out Wednesday
$55,0 600 and received in deposits $40, 000.
Remarkable scenes attended the paying
of within the bank. The officers paid
off in twe-third specie and one-third bills
and some of the depositors were fairly
overwhelmed by the amount Of currency
thrust upon them when they passed in
their books. Immediately upon getting
their money into their hands and becom-
ing convinced that the bank was able to
pay them, the frantic Hebrews
became equally anxious to get their
money into Lie bank again and several
OF them created scenes when the officers
refused to accept it. The depositors
were paid in specie to prevent a rede-
posit, as this is the sixth run the bank
has experienced from equally trivial
causes.
