THE STORY OF CHARTREUsE.
Transfer of the Carthusian Plant to
TarragOna, Spain.

ENFFtsSohts SPAIN.
Several hundred years ago among the
rugged mountains Of Dauphine. near
Grenoble, in France, the Carthusian
monks Peres Chartreux) began the man
ufacture of their celebrated liqueur called
''charTeuse." In 1901 the French govern
ment expelled them from their monas-
terry taking possession of all the prop
erty and permitting the official liquidator
TO foist upon the public. through dealer
in wines and liquors an imitation of
the famous old liqueur. the secret
formula for which was known only TO
the monks. This decoctiOn called char
treuse" was put up in the old bottles
with the old labels under which the orig
inal cordial had acquired worldwide
fame and reputation, and since 1901 a
very limited quantity of it has actually
been sold in this country. In 1905 the
Carthusian monks. having meanwhile
settled in Spain, brought suit TO restrain
the sale of the spurious or imitation
"chartreuse. the result being an injunc-
ton prohibiting the sale Of any liqucur
under the old label not make by the Car
thusian monks save in conjunction with
the label reading. This liqueur, although
made at the Grande Chartreuse in France.
Is not made by the Carthusian monks,
but under the direction Of Mr. Lecoutu-
rier, appointed lquidator Of their. prop
erty after their expulsion from France. ="
which, of course, had a tendency TO con-
denim the article I'm the eyes of the public.
Since the confiscation Of their property
and expulsion from France the monks
continue the manufacture of their liqueur
at Tarragona. Spain, using the secret
recipe or formula, having taken the same
with them from France 10 Spain and
employing identicaily the same ingredi-
ents used by the order 500 years ago.
This nectar. when made in France. was
called ''Hqueur fabrique a Ia Grande
Chartreuse. but since the establish
ment of the monks at Tarragona they
have adopted a new label. which reads.
"liqueur frabrique a Tarragone par les
Peres ChartreuX. with which the public
IS now becoming familiar though the
monks still retain the legal and exclusive
right TO the old name labels, and bottles
No liqueur associated with the name Of
the Carthusian monks (Peres ChartreuX)
and made since their expulsion from
France is genuine except that made by
them at Tarragona, Spain.

Three thousand miles Of ocean is no

Rush Greater Than Ever.
Never before has the rush been so
great. Apparently in the midst Of the
present business depression the thrifty
foreigner has escaped almost unscathed.
His profits have been made mainly In
retail business, and his capital has not
been invested in the uncertain ways Of
the stock market. What he has earned
he has kept and increased. and no cloud
mars his pleasure as he books his passage
