But Those under Him Are Not
and They Are Bad When
They Get Drunk.

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Although
Francisco Villa himself lie said to be
a total abstainer from Intoxicating
liquors. many Of the Mexican border
outrages perpetrated by his men have
followed q too-free Indulgence in the
Mexican national drinks, pulque and
inescal.
The National Geographic Society. of
washington. in a primer issued today
on these two beverages peculiar to the
southern republic says:
"The colonists who settled the east
coast of the United States have been
charged with introducing the Amer
lean Indian to 'fre-water' in exchange
for the tobacco habit, but no similar
accusation can rest against the Euro
peans who conquered the puloue-
drinking Aztecs Of Mexico. The In
toxicating properties of this UNIQUE
beverage were known long before Cor
tee marched his army across the
causeways which joined the ancient
Ventce-like capital Of the Montezumas
to the lake shores.
Pulque and Mescal.
Both pulQue and mescal are prod
ucts Of the agave or century plant
which was Of the same utilitarian i'm
portance to the aboriglnes as the date
palm to the Arab. the bamboo to the
Burmese. and the banana to the Gem
trail American. In addition to the two
important beverages, this plant sup
plies from its roots a ,starchy food:
from Its fbrous leaves cloth Is woven
and rope is made; from its pulp the
Aztecs obtained sort Of papyrus
paper on which have been preserved
some Of their most valued writings:
Its huge leaves when dried furnished
roofing for adobe huts; its stems still
supply fuel. and rows Of the sharp
spined plants afforded an impenetrable
defense against the attacks Of wild
animals as well as an effective bar
ricade against hostile tribes.
"Mescal and pulque are not, as many
believe, different names for the same
drink. Mescal is distilled from the
leaves and roasted roots of the plant,
and is sort of brandy, containing
from a third to half as much alcohol
as the average American whiskey. Pull
que. on the other hand, is the ferment-
ed sap Of the plant, and is obtained
from tho heart Of the maguey, or
agave. when It has attained q growth
OF six or eight years. The pulaue
harvester taps this heart, which might
be compared with the center Of the
date palm. and with the aid Of long
reed or gourd he sucks the sap from
It. using his tongue as stopper for
the reed. When the reed Is full he
blows It into pigsldn containcr
strapped to his back. In the course
OF four or five months the maguey will
yield ten gallons of sap. 1t then

"The Mexicans surround the discoy-
cry OF these maguey beverages with a
legend OF royal romance. Long before
the Montezumas held sway over Ten
ochtitlan, so the story goes. one Of the
early emperors took as his bride the
beautiful daughter of vanquished
Zoe. The princess brought with her to
Tenochtitlan the secret Of remark
able drink of which her lord and
master grew inordinately fond. After
imbibing freely Of 1t he would become
gratifyingly docile and torpid, leaving
the princess free to her own devices.
Other Aztec wives induced the prin-
cess to share with them the secret Of
this strange soporiic and thus the
whole race came under the power Of
pulque.
The Aztec cannot be charged with
the invention Of the pauseous milk

milk with dash OF rsnnet. The rem
net part Of a cows compound stomach.
is partially putretied and the odor thus
imported Is intensified and complicated
by that Of the ptg-skin in which tho
liquor is contained. The alibi which
defenders Of the Aztec can offer
against the charge of being party to
this olfactory crime is that before the
spaniards reached Mexico there were
no cattle. horses or donkeys in the
country, hence no rennet.
"Pulque cannot be shipped out OF
the country because no method of pre-
serving It has been discovered, so the
vast output Of the extensive planta-
tion-it is the most important industry
Of the states OF Hidalgo, Mexico.
Pnebla and T'laxcala-is consumed at
home. Mexico consumes $4,000. 900
worth Of pulque annually"
