oHINAMEN SELL THE LIQUOR.

While the commission has covered practically
every article that could possibly be needed by civ
flied man through the commissariats it has left
the sale OF liquor wholly in the hands Of the out
slider, and the outsiders name is generally John
Chinaman. The few hotels In Colon and Panama

and on the first taste OF 1t wonders why the brand

some one who knows the trick inverts the bottle
and points out two small holes that have been
drilled through the glass by the artful Oriental
It is true the revenue stamp has not been broken
and the cork and seal just as they were when
they left the shippers hands but the two holes in

While the greater part OF the goods purchased by
canal employees come from The commissariats. the

CURIOUS PLouGHINe CUSTOMS.

Floughinz operations in England do not begin
as s. rule till the first Monday after Twelfth

as Plough Monday. For centuries the formal
inauguration Of the ploughing season has taken
ulace on this day. and now its quaint observ-
ances are still kept up in some part or other of the
world.
Before our pIous ancestors would begin TO culti-
yate the ground in Catholic times they would
tend a special service for the dedication of tf.e
