USE OF LIQUOR GROWS
WITH BAR ON OPIUM
Several Kinds of Ardent Spirits
Used in Orient

= Attention has been called to the in
crease in the consumption of alcohol in
recent years among the Chinese in the
Straits Settlements, following. it is al
legged. the more stringent regulations
imposed upon the opium traffic, says
the London Lancet. 1t may. therefore
be of interest to review briefly the
main varieties of native alcoholic bev-
erages ordinarily consumed. of these
prooaoly the most familiar are arTack
and sake, samshu and hocshu.
Arrack is an ardent spirit procured
from toddy. the fermented Juice of the
cocoa and other palms, from rice or from
Jaggery, coarse, dark colored sugar
obtained from the sap of the jaggery
palm. 1t is made all over the Malay
archipelago, varies greatly in strength,
tastes like sour beer and is distinctly
heady 1t is the usual drink of coolies.
Sake is the national beverage of
Japan. 1t has a peculiar flavor not
comparable to any European drink, is
made from fermented rice by an intri-
cate process in winter time and con-
tains from IL to Ia per cent of alcohol
1t is necessary constituent of every
ceremonial Japanese dinner, is served
hot in little ampuelIalike jars and drunk
with much formality from squat, ear
less sake cups containing approx
mately two ounces.
The Chinese have two alcoholic
drinks, samshu and hocshu. Samshu
is simply another name for arrack. but
hocshu is much more aristocratic
drink. We can not describe it better
than in the words of that inimitable
old buecaneer Dampier: This is a
strong liquor made of wheat, as
have been told. 1t looks like mum
Ca peculiar kind of beer made from
wheat malt) and tastes much like it,
and is very pleasant and hearty"
In recent years. however, European
alcoholic beverages have been gFadu-
ally superseding the native brews. and
a very excellent lager beer kirin, is
now manufactured and much used in
Japan. The oriental, however, is an
extremely abstemious person on the
whole. and the native liquors do not
lend themselves to debauchery. IN
fortunately in recent years regularly
increasing quantities of crude Euro
pean ''whiskies" and "brandies" are
being shipped to far eastern ports, and
though intended originally. no doubt,
for the consumption of the European
sailor, they are now increasingly used
by the ubiquitous Chinese. There is
no tax on alcohol in the Straits Settle
ments, and as a consequence these
spirits are exceedingly cheap, so much
so that one peculiarly virulent brand
of fine old Scotch whisky" with the
figure of Highlander in full dress
and the motto Made in Germany" on
the label can be procured for 25 cents
a large bottle in Penang and Singapore.

RUSSIA CONTINUES
PROSECUTING JEWS
One Thousand Families Ordered
to Leave Kiey

KIEV, May 2s.-One thousand and
two Jewish families have now received
official notification that they must
leave the city in accordance with the
determination of the Russian govern
ment to drive back into the pale all
Hebrews who are unable to establish
their legal right to remain outside it's
confines. This number includes so fam
lilies to whom notices of expulsion were
sent today.
An additional 1913 families living in
the suburbs outside the city proper
are subject to deportation before June
IS, unless in the meantime they pro-
duce proofs of their right of residence
in their present sites.
1t is impossible to get statistics
showing the number of those already
expelled. Even the Jewish relief COM
mittee is unable to state the exact fig
ure, but the committee estimates that
between 200 and 800 Jewish families
have left the city.

DREXEL'S CAUTION

LONDON, May 2s.-American society
In London is all agog over the rumors
afioat that the family of viscount Maid
stone is wroth over the cautious man
ner in which Anthony j. Drexel is going
about arranging a settlement in antfcfz
patton of the marriage OF his daughter
Marsaretta to the youthful viscount
June 8.
Drexel does not fulfill the English
mans ideal of the open handed Amer
lean father in law and as Maidstones
friends say that he has often boasted. f.
1acetlously, of course. that he would
only marry a girl with a million, they
are correspondence amused at his dis
comfiture
But even more difficult to bear than
DrexePs slowness is Maidstone's pros
pect or being compelled to live with his
wifes people. which is said to have
been one of the pledges exaeted from
the young couple before consent to the
marriage was given.
This has proved most mortifying, as
maldstone's chums are chatting him un-
mereirully. The viscount is far from
wealthy, but has prospects in the shape
OF old castles, especially one in Wales
MISS DreXel has received hundreds of
bridal gifts from her American and
English friends, but the expected pres
ents from many prominent relatives
and friends in New York and Phila-
delphla, including her aunt, Mrs. James
Henry Smith. whose daughter, Anita
stewart, became the bride of Prince
miguel Braganza; the Anthony DrexeI
Jrs:, and the George Goulds, have not
arrived. 1t is understood that the lat
ter are being brought over by the Drex-
els and Goulds, who will arrive in town
next week
whether Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
and his family will attend the wedding
is matter of conjecture Naturally,
the Drexels are anxious for his at
tendance, but Roosevelt only accepted
the invitation conditionaIly.

SUBMARINE SUNK
THROUGH neglect
Officers and Grew OF French
Packet Fail to Succor
Disabled Warship
Especial Gable to The Call

LONDON, May 2s.--If German mail
packet instead of French vessel had
sunk the submarine Pluviose, the at
tituie of the Londen press to that
preventable catastrophe would have
been very different The influence of
the entente cordiale induced British
newspapers to smother up the whole
scandal. although 1t is plain to every
reader of their accounts of the col
lision that each vital circumstance
remains unexplained.
Bowless' statement that there was
the Pluviose, If the captain and officers
of the Pas de Calais had not lost their
heads. derives additional Importance
from the fact now mentioned that on
the bow and stern of the Pluviose were
heavy iron rings for lifting purposes
in case of accident.
Between the Pas de Calais and the
English channel steamer Empress that
came up just before the Pluviose sank
was tug from Calais. 1t would have
been quite possible to tow the Plu-
viose into shallow water. if not into
the harbor. This is proved by the fact
that even when the Pluviose had been
20 hours under water it had not yet
completely lost its buoyancy. as the
under current moved it along the bot
tom of the sea for a considerable dis
tance
Photographs of the Pluviose with
its bow projecting out of water show
how the opportunity was missed. as
the sea was perfectly calm and %
minutes elapsed while 10 was in this
position. Photographs taken from the
deck of the Pas de Calais also show
that the steamer was lying within so
yards of the Pluviose and yet no one
aboard her put out hand to effect a
rescue of the crew in the submarine.

Refused by Papers

Young and inexperienced writers
would be saved great deal of heart
burning, says T. P.is Weekly, If they
would only be at greater pains TO see
that their contributions are suited TO
the papers to which they send them, or,
better still, If they would obtain some
measure of expert advice before they
venture into the field at all. The
greater proportion. not merely o,
poems, but of all the contributions re-
ceiyed by any newspaper, are refused
on the score of unsuitability, apart
from their artistic merits or defects.

She looks actually grief stricken and

said that Mrs. Keppel was invited to
the funeral services in St Georges
chapel at Windsor, but this is not true,

A show enables you to put competing

we could put them side by side with other

the past records into consideration; then
if you buy some other car we have moth
