law went into effect and the New Mexico border has been
troublesome to Arizona officers since Arizona went
prohibition. Booteggers have taken advantage OF their
ability to get liquor supplies at Lordsburg and RodeO and
some Of them have made business Of smuggling It into
Arizona business which Arizona shers broke up to the

MONK FIRST TO USE CORK
Discovery That 10 Universally Made
Use Of Was the Result OF e,
Chance. s5Sg% 5. Y \

The discovery Of cork for shoppers
5ls ascribed to the monk Don Perignon,
who managed the cellars Of the abbey
Of Haut yilliers In 1876. One day he
ran short Of the usual stoppering,
WHICH was pads Of hemp or cloth
stepped in oil, and being something OF
4 botanist, he had noticed that the out
er layer Of the bark of certain species
Of the oak tree was Of comparatively
soft wood. He procured some Of this
porous material and shaped it 50 that
It would Aflt into som partially fer
.mented bottles Of wine. Sz 1ss5slif7 s,s.3..s Il
III Later on opening the bottles he
found that the effect Of the confined
carbonic acid gas which this new stop
Der did not allow to escape acted on
the wine SO as to make it effervesce.
From then on for a long time it was
supposed that this phenomena was due
to the action Of the cork on the wine,
and effervescing or Kissing wine be-
came the rage. Enterprising mer-
chants saw the possibilities Of this
wood, and they introduced it for gem
sral purposes as shoppers.

The Opium Habit.

There are three different forms OF
taking opium. Some people, for exam
pie the Turks, eat it.; others, like the
Chinese, smoke it, while the inhabi-
tants Of more civilized countries usual
" drink 1t as laudanum. The drug is
obtained from the unripe fruit Of the
common white poppy. 1ncisions are
made In the heads of the plant, from
which creamy juice exudes, harden
ing on its exposure to the air. This is
scraped off and made up into small
cakes, in which form 1t is sold. The
confirmed opium eater or smoker re-
duces himself to an indescribably
wretched state Of mind and body, and
very seldom lives to be forty If the
practice has been acquired at an early
period in life.

RAINS HELP INDIAN VILLAGE.
Good Rice Crops Grown In Abundant
Moisture and Region = Noted
for Good Cattle.

Sylhet is q city in the most curious
part Of India-the great. low lying,
jungly, flooded, tea and rice districts
OF the far Southeast. Sylhet tea u
known all over the peninsula. n
50 low do these regions lie that the
heavy rains Of the rainy season result
Id their being flooded for many months
Of the year. Though far inland. after
the rains this Is literally sea, where.
all travel Is BY boat and even ships Of.
some size can navigate. The torren-
tial downpours flood the lower parts Of
the country to a depth Of many feet.
There is one little village at the base
1of the Khasia hills which had meas
ured rainfall Of 60 feet In one year,
an exchange says.
The villages Of this curious district
about sylhet are set on the crest Of
hills. After the rains fall they are Is
lands. The people are very expert
boatmen and the children can swim
almost as soon as they can walk.
This is probably the only part Of In
dia where the canoe Is IN use. a craft
not unlike the American Is manufac-
tured by following out a tree trunk
very thin. Larger canoes, propelled
bys2O paddles. are made in the same
way, and canoe racing is one Of the
principal sports.
The villagers Of these island villages
keep diminutive cattle which they feed
largely, on marsh grasses cut from ron
boats. As a result Of abundant feed
and lack Of exercise, the cows grow
fat and sleek to a degree unusual
among the lean Indian cattle. Their
milk, butter and cheese are known as
delicacies in the nearby cities. These
same villages raise unusually fine rice,
By planting before the rains begin.
As the country is flooded, the stalks
Of the rice grow with the rising sur
face Of the waters, SO that rice stalks
ten feet long may be seen when the
foods recede. "a @5 i z, ss5.., 9: ,!s

sYiddish.

Yiddish is term used to designate
language which is spoken at the pres.
ent moment by some millions Of peo-
pie. Strictly speaking, Yiddish is not
a language, nor a dialect, but a jargon
the jargon used by Judeo-German
communities dwelling chiefly in Ger.
many and Russia, and by the immi-
grants coming from those countries to
the United States. Yiddish owes its
existence to the persecution to which
the Jews were subjected in Germany
at the time of the Reformation. Its es
sential basis is high German, with an
adnixture OF Hebraic and Slavic Gle.
ments.
