Manila on the Maj.

The decision OF the North German
Lloyd Steamship company to make
Manila port of call for its steamers
plying between Bremen and Yoko-
hama puts Manila on the map Of the
world in the view Of the globe trot-
tiers who have up to now passed no
nearer than Hongkong.
The CabIenews-American observes
that it is the business future OF the
Philippines that causes the North Ger
man-LIoyd line to send its steamers
to Manila. At any rate, the business
outlook should be helped by an i'm
DrOvement in transportation facilities

MANY USES OF THE MAGUEY
Species Of Cactus That Supplies the
Mexicans With Medicine, Drink
and Fiber.

In Mexico there is a plant that
leeds greater number of persons in
more different ways than is known
perhaps in any other country Of the
world.
The maguey is = species of cactus
which thrives in profusion on the
great mesa Of the republic of Mexico.
1t is perhaps the most remarkable
plant, as regards its utilization, OF all
the more common tropical plants on
earth.
In this country a plant Of the same
family is known as the century plant.
but of course the variety in Mexico is
different, and here apparently the
plant is used for ornamental purposes.
This plant throws out tiny sprouts
with from five to eight branches edged
with small espinas, or needles, which
identify it as OF the cactus family.
1t does not attain to its full growth
until its fifth year, but it may be made
useful two years earlier. In its third
year one OF all of its branches are
tapped, making cavities in the sides or

Of the plant collects.
This latter liquid is what is known
in Mexico as aqua miel, an eficacious
medicine IN many disorders of the hu-
man system, but it must be used as
such the first day after it is picked.
If allowed to stand fermentation takes
place and. the aqua MEL changes into
what is known as the most common
of the intoxicating drinks of Mexico
pulque
When distilled, pulque is the great
national drink of Mexico and is known
as mescal. The mescaI distilled in
the state Of San Luis Potosi is re-
gaTded as the best quality and is
called teQuila
1t is not only in its medicinal and
drinking qualities that the maguey
plant is useful. It is one of the most
important fiber plants in Mexico, and
is utilized in the weaving of baskets
and clothing. 1t is a tough fiber, but
as flexible as a linen thread.-Wash,

pu Quesne,s First EIGHT.

A monument of the gallant Admiral
DU Quesne has just been provided at
BOuchet, where he was buried in 1888.
and the story of his first fight is there
fore opposite. He was the son of a
ship builder, and at the age of II was
placed in command of one of his
fathers vessels. He sailed forth, es
pied a Dutch vessel, boarded 1t, com
PEELED it to surrender and breught it
into port. Not until he had been car
ried through the streets in triumph
on the shoulders of his fellow towns
men did it occur to the officials that
France and Holland were at peace.
That fact being admitted, legal pro
ceedings had to follow, as the result
Of which the youthful captain was
warned to be more careful another

exploit. and without considering the
comfy of nations offered him a com,
