SPANS Popular BEVERAGE.

"Horchata de chufa" is the singular
name of the most popular drink in
Madrid. This is made from q nut
called "chufa," yielding a milky liquid
when reduced to a pulp This is d.
luted with water and forms a most
cooling and refreshing drink. How
ever, 1t is an acquired taste. Very few
like it at the first trial. The horchata
may be made from different kinds Of
nuts. The almond is used also. Strange
TO relate, the horchata de chufa is al
ways sold where mating is kept for
sale, so that when you spy a roll Of
the latter outside the store door ii is
a sufficient indication that IN that par
ticular place you may procure a glass
Of the horchata. In spite of inquiries,

the singular combination Of articles on

SPECIALIZING ON SHIPS.
How Underwriters Gamble on Overdue
Vessels Posted at Loyds.


When q ship is overdue, an oppor-
tunity is sometimes afforded for a
gamble at Lloyds. 1t can be readily
understood that underwriters who are
interested in the "overdues" are only
Zoo willing to get rid Of the risk by
paying a premium on the insured rate
to those who are willing, on their
terms, to relieve them Of their respon-
sibilities. The premium varies with
the chances of the vessel turning up.
The smaller the chances the higher
the premium and vice versa.
The rates paying on "overdues"
serve as accurate barometers of the
probabilities or otherwise of the ship
ever being heard of again. These I'M
derwriters who speculate on "over-
dues" are generally known by the sig
nificant name Of doctors" The insur-
ance on an Overdue" may pass
through many channels before the
ship is, on the one hand, posted" at
Lloyds as missing" or, on the other
hand, she arrives in safety.
A ship Is never posted" until the
committee is thoroughly satisfied that
her case ~ hopeless and until the own
er Is OF the same opinion. Before
posting" a notice is put up for a
week inviting any information con-
corning the vessel. If this elcits no
news, the committee at its next meet
ing votes the ship as missing" and a
notice is posted accordingly. The loss
is then settled and paid for. 1t may
be incidentally remarked that post
ing at Lloyds constitutes a legal
death certificate for any one on board
the missing ships.-London Express.
