forth storms of applause, first on the
Democratic side of the house. then on
the Republican, and eliminating IN a
general demonstration by the entire
body. AS if in anticipation that some
thing out of the ordinary was going
to happen there was a very full attend,
ance of members. Long after the
reading OF the message had been con,

Peruvian Aguardiente.

Peru is an immense country and
in n section of it, known as the
Tambo valley, the principal produce
ton is aguardiente, which is made
from the Juice of sugar and contains
twenty per cent. alcohol. Consul
General S. M. Taylor says that h
LIQUOR is consumed largely by the Pc
ruvian Indians and so many OF them
die from the effects of it that the
p%opulation is materially decreasing.
The valley is located so high that only
the natives enjoy good health there,
hence it would be difficult to find en-
isrants to replace the natives, as
would seem necessary at an early
da.e. In the valley there is n good
plant for making cane sugar II
a~guardiente, but all the rest are quite
primitive in their construction.
More or less rice is produced il
the same valley, and it is said that
the grain is large and sweet in haVor
and when bolted it augments much
more than any other kind. 1t always
commands q higher price than any
other rice. 1t is stated incidentally
that there is only one good rice mill
jr the valley of Tambo, and that IS
from the United States. The others
are primitive wooden stamp mills
driven by water wheels.
