POTENT LIQUOR is SAKE.
lafeadio Hearn's Testimony as to
Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor In the world upon
which man becomes so quickly In
toxicatcd as Japanese sake (rice
wine). and yet none of which the ef-
fects last so short n time. The in.
toxication Is pleasant as the effect OF
opium or hasheesh. II is soft. pleas
ant, luminous exhllaration. everything
becoming brighter, happier. lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At japanese dinners 1t Is the rule to
become slightly exhIlarated. but not to
drink enough TO talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
Quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets OF many kinds.
and the man who Is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected Is careful to start In upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and Of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart OF sake is good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
60 stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military ofiicer's banquet a captain
offered me a tumbler holding good
pint Of sake. almost tainted at the
sight Of 1t. for It was only the first.
But friend said to me: "Only drink
q little and pass It back" which did.
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water.-Letters OF Lafcadio

Thinks Little Of Chinese Army.

spondent of the London Times at Pc
king. vent to see the recent maneu-
in the neighborhood OF Chang.te.fu.
He describes them as n repetition OF
the performance of 1864 set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
number OF japanese advisers. The
inei'lciency of the officers Is still con.
spicuous ard the field training OF the
men inadequate, but the material Is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with.
out Japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than n rabble.

MIss Peck VIII Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.


Miss Annie Peck. whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains. has re-
turned to New York from Peru. beaten
In her attempt to climb the highest
OF the Andes. beaten not by the noun
tain itself. but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
vinced that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
As 1t was she reached a height of
$4,000 feet being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain, Of
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-
