THE MANUFACTURE OF STIMULANTS BY ABORIGINES. fermented and Distilled Uqnors With WKiob the TjHCtrilired Natives of IMfler eat Parts of tbe World Prod nee TrwiIt.' Learning From the White Man. It is a remarkable fact that tip to the iime of the coming f the 'whites the North American Indians generally had no knowledge of intoxicants. As for to bacco, they did not smoke it as we do apparently, but merely for ceremonial purposes. Going south-ward into Mexico in those days, however, the traveler might have fbnnd alcoholic Btimnlanta in common use1. Even at the present time the' natives iq that part of the world make an odd sort of Jteer oat of corn. They wet a woolen blanket, lay it in the sun and spread whole grains of maize npon it. The grains germinatey sprouting - and sending oht rootlets. through the texture of tile blanket, which is kept moist. They are then parched and ground to a coarse raeaL To this meal a little yeast, made by chewing some corn and allowing it to ferment, is added. Then the stuff is mixed with water and put away in jars. Fermentation follows, and as it dimin ishes tho liquor becomes as clear as yel low amber, in which condition it is drunk. It is quite intoxicating. ' -, Several varieties of grasses, herbs and flowers, the roots of sundry plants, the juices of the eugai; cane 4and aloe, and even beets, are useft by various tribes and peoples as abasia of drinks. In earlier times eprnce trees, fir trees, birch -trees and ash trees were tapped for their sap, which was fermented to tnaks stimulating beverages. The willow, poplar, sycamore and walnut are said to yield palatable drinks. The'Japanese ob tain intoxicating beverages from plums and from the flowers pf the motherwort and peach. The Chinese actually pro duce an alcoholio drink -from mutton. The Abnaki Indians of New England used to .manufacture a kind of liquor from tbe tops of fir trees, which they boiled and put into casks with molasses. The contents of the casks were allow,ed to ferment for three days, , , The Eskimos were entirely nnaoqnaint ed with the art of getting drunk ontij they came into contact with the whites. Travelers have observed that they drink extraordinary quantities of water when they can procure it. That is not always so easy in a. la'titode where the normal condition of water is thai; of a solid. In winter one of the most important occu pations of the women b the thawing of snow to get water. The enow is cut in to very thin slices as a preparation for the thawing process, and it is fetched to the hut from a considerable distance in order that it may be perfectly clean. The Eskimo greatly dislikes water that is many degrees above the freezing point. The Chi lea t Indians of southern Alas ka distill a fearful beverage called ,,hootchenoaM The process adopted war probably suggested to them by TJTpited States soldiers originally. Molasses or vegetables of any sort, made into a mash," are employed as raw ma terial. The mash is put into a large tin can, which, ia connected with another tin can by a tube of the hollow stem of the giant kelp. This tube is buried in Enow. A fire is built under the can that contains the mash, and the alcohol passes over into the other vessel. Tbe liquor thus distilled is drunk fresh and pro duces temporary insanity. The aborigines of Mexico and farther to the south were acquainted only with fermented intoxicants up to the time When they learned from the whites the principle of the still. At present, how ever, this contrivance of civilization is in general use among savages on this continent Tbe Apaches of southern Arizona make whisky from the sap of a small species of castas. They cut out the hearts of the plants, resembling p$ tle cabbages,.and in the cup shaped re ceptacles left behind the sap accumu lates. From this, sap they distill the famous "mescal," which drives those who drink it to sheer madness. Many spirituous drinks are made from the banana. Banana wine is obtained by pressing the fruit through a sieve, after which it is made into cakes, dried in the sun and dissolved in water when wanted for use. On the west coast of Africa it is a common thing to see a bare legged wom an climbing up a gigantic- palm tree, with a calabash of immense size hung round her neck. . When she has reached the top branch, she taps the tree, and the sap begins to flow. Then she hangs the calabash beneath the stream of sap and descends. Twelve hours later she climbs the tree again and takes down the cala bash, which by that time is full of palm beer. It resembles mead somewhat, but a amall quantity of it stupefies tbe drink er. -African natives universally know bow to prepare drunk producing liquors from such simple materials as the tops of broom corn, sugar cane juice and oo- ooanut milk. . All over eastern Asia is consumed a drink known as "arrack." The best of it is distilled from the unexpanded flowers of certain varieties of palm. ' A vile kind of arrack is made from impure molasses that is left over as refuse in the manufacture of raw sugar. It makes the drinker crazy, and under the influ ence of it whole parties of. Malays some times "run am nek "together, the sport only cooclnding with the death of all participants, as well as the destruction of numbers of innocent people. This is a favorite Malay plan of committing suicide. A man makes up his mind thai he wants to die, and so be fills himself up with arrack and starts to run amuckr etabbing every one tnat comes in nis -way until be himself is slain.

TH!fi HAtJNTED BOOTS. They originally belonged to the tory terror, claudius smith. Be Kinked Them Off as He Stood st the) , Gallows Three Men Who Wore Them Tears Afterward Were Killed by Bat tlesnakes Christy land's Story. "No one in the-Sohunnemunk moun tains will ever forget the story of Bralnard Pierson's haunted boots," said , Christy Lord of ' that historic part of Orange county. "The story dates back a good way, but it's always new and fresh along the old Sohunnemunk.. ; 4. -. . . "Bralnard Pierson's boots, so the story goes,-ware tbaorery boots that Claudius Smith kicked off his feet just before he was hanged at Goshen in the Revolution ary times. Claudius Smith was the bloody Tory cowboy who, with his following of cutthroats and robbers, terrorised the Sohunnemunk and surrounding ooantry for years. - - ""After the patriots had at last captured the desperado and he was taken to the gal lows at Goshen he kicked his boots off as the rope was placed about his neok and exclaimed: -." -r.'-?v... - '"My mother said I would die like a trooper's horse, with my shoes on. I will make her out a liar. v "Those were Claudius Smith's last words. . His boots, through some manner of snooession, at last fell into the posses sion of Bralnard Pierson years after the cowboy, was hanged. -. I've often heard my father say that when folks heard that' Bralnard had got Claudius Smith's boots they went to him and said: " 'Woe to you, Bralnard Pierson, if yon wear those boots I Not for all the treasure Claudius Smith buried in old"Scbunne znunk would we wear those boots t There's blood on 'em I' ' ' , ' ' - " 'And even if there is,' Bralnard said, 'I'll walk It off tomorrow, for I'm going to drive some cattle down .Jersey way. I couldn't get a pair o' boots like these for the price o' the best critter I've got.' "Bralnard Pierson laughed and next day started with bis cattle down Jersey way, wearing the dead Tory's boots. Somewhere down near the Ramapo pass a man coming this way met a drove ot cat tle. They went on by and the man notioed that no drover was behind them. He went on. He had gone a quarter of a mile or so when he almost stumbled over a man ly ing in the road. He noticed that the man had on a remarkably fine pair of boots, but he started back in terror as be saw a rattlesnake lying near his feet. Discover ing that the serpent was dead be advauoed and was horrified to see that the prostrate man's face was black and swollen and that he was dead. It was plain that tbe rattlesnake had bitten the man, who h- 1 then killed the snake before be died. 'The dead man was Bralnard Pierson. The discoverer of the tragedy sought the nearest help and the rattlesnake's victim was brought home to Bohunnemunk. The head of the snake bad been crushed by a stone and one of its fangs was gone. The snake bad bitten clear through one of the boots Bralnard wore and a tiny puncture on his ankle showed where the deadly ven om had entered to do its deadly work. ' 'Claudius Smith's boots-!' was the first exclamation, that folks made when Braln ard Pierson was brought home dead from a rattlesnake's bite. 'There's bjpod on 'pm ana we coia mm soi 'For a long time nothing was talked about all through the Sohunnemunk coun try but Brainan Pierson's haunted boots and the awful fate that Bralnard met with because be flew in the face of warning and wore them. Somehow or other though Brainard's folks didn't seem to be able to see juEt how it was that be wouldn't have been struck by the rattlesnake if he hadn t had Claudius Smith's boots on, and so the boots remained in the family. There was no one big enough yet in the family to wear boots and so they were put one side, And there they remained unused for ten years. .Then tbe house was robbed one nigh J. Among the property stolen were the haunted boots. Two days after the jobbery young George Pierson, Brainard's son, was hunting on Seven Spring mouDr tain, and, going over to one of the springs to get a dtlnk, he foqnd a dead man lying near it black in the face and swollen, aeay by the body lay a big bundle. The dead man had on the stolen Claudius Smith' boots I Young Pierson pulled off tbe boots,' On the man's right ankle was a little pur plish red puncture. - 'A rattlesnake has struck him as sure as fate I' exclaimed young Pierson. - ."The bundle contained the things stolen from the Piersoa family. George backed them home and brought the boots along. Then be spread tbe news about finding tbe robber on Seven Springs mountain, dead from a rattlesnake's bite. "Several years went by again before any one else, wore the haunted boots. Then a rSjLation of tbe Pierson folks, who lived down in the Bingwood valley, visited them. Hesaw the boots and took a great fancy to 'em. He wanted to buy 'em, al though he knew the fate of the only two persons who had worn 'em in years. " 'There ain't any rattlesnakes In our section,' said he. 'I'll risk the haunt.' " Xne Jrlerson ioiks wouldn't sell nun the boots, but they made him a present of era. He took em home with him. Some folks say that he didn't tell his father-in-law the story of - the boots when he made him a present of 'em after be got home. and some say he did. At any rate, the father-in-law had a good deal of property which would go to this Pierson relation's wife when her father died, and her father was in the best of health. The son-in-law made blm a present of Bralnard Pierson's haunted boots. The father-in-law put era qq one day and went for a walk. Not long afterward be pame staggering home. ' He was a dead man an hour later, with a black, swollen face and . body. - On his right ankle was the mark of a rattlesnake bite, as there had been on Bralnard Pier' son's and on tbe dead robbers. And there was not a rattlesnake in all that country I The father-in-law of the Pierson relation was dead before the doctor could get there. The doctor was told the story of the haunt ed boots, celling tbe right boot, be slash ed it down to the ankle with his knife. Something white fell from it to the floor. The doctor ploked it up. He examined It for a moment. " 'A-nttlesnake's fang,' said he. 'And there's poison enough yet in its channel to kill anotbor man I' "It was the missing fang of the snake that had bitten Brainard- Pierson. It bad boen pulled from its socket by tbe firm hold the leather of the boot had taken of it. Held last thus, with its point on the la side, contact with it bad been of sum olent force to puncture the ankles of the persons who bad since worn the boot. Tbe venom, though dry, was still potent, and Its work as deadly as when it lay in its sack in the rattlesnake's jaw. That was what the doctor said.' New York Sun, Had K Fee or It. Be told the shop assistant that be want ed to purchase something that would be a suitable present for a young lady. The olerk brought out albums, books, gold pens and pencils and cardcases, but nothing seemed to suit. As the last resort be showed tbe young man an engagement calendar, a beautiful little tablet on wfalob to record the engagements for each day of the week. ---.. - "Quite the fad now," he explained as he displayed the calendar. "All tbe young ladies feel the need of them, especially during the season." 'What is itf" asked tbe young man. "An engagement calendar," replied the shop assistant.

"Well, I want to say to you that she wouldn't," exclaimed the yonng man losing control of his temper. "1 know her and you don't, and I want you to under stand, sir. that she has no use for any such calendar. She doesn't have to keep reoordj of her engagements. This is the only time that she has ever been engaged, and any man who says that she will ever be en gaged to any one else or that she has to put it down on a tablet to remember has not to fight me.

PICKPOCKETS. they Mast Have Karres of Steel to Be ' - Snceessfol Operators. - . . Because a man is a pickpocket it does not necessarily follow that he is not well educated nor a close observer of his fellow mortals. The latter trait might be said to be an absolute requirement to a successful pnrloinerlpf pocketbooks. One of the gentry who possessed both characteristics expressed himself the oth er day to an Enquirer reporter at police headquarters: - "There is no class of artists who in their calling are as dexterous as pick- Dockets. This is dne to a double incen tive. Not only do we find a bait lor effort and exertion in success, but have the added spnr of a fear of failure. Success .means as much to a pickpocket as to any man, and failure means a great deal more. 7 "A vocation in which the slightest slip means a loss of liberty and perhaps of life Will ever be apt to have a degree of expertnesa in its followers not present in more reputable and safer avenues of trade. , . .- "Pickpockets, "like poets and other people, are born, not made. Their nerves must be iron and yet as sensitive as in stinct. Their hands must be as com plete in make -up and accomplishment as Herrmann's, the magician, and strong as steel, while light as down. Out of the vast army of humanity who are soldiers of the shadows only one-fourth of 1 per cent can or do become pickpockets. , J'These form the nobihty of thieves and are reverepced by the burglar as of a higher class 'than they, The practice of a pickpocket while pot really at work; is as constant as that of some famed professor of the violin or harp. He keeps pace with the profession. No sooner does some jeweler invent a new fastening -for diamond pins or studs than these men of finest touch devise the motion which evades its purpose. . "The chief- object of a piepkocket, after certaSnty, is speed. He cannot dally with his victim, by the hour. What he does is to- be over in a flash. Speaking of pins and studs, there has never been a fastening so complex but the expert thieves could defeat it in a motion. - They do in their business as fine work as any Hindoo, and the thief himself could not analyse or explain its detail. His powers of execution ' have gone far beyond bis powers of reception or relation. - '- "A pickpocket consults his ownnerv ous condition constantly. No fine lady ever has such a time with her nerves as this aristocrat of the outlaws. If he does not feel right, he won't 'work. " --Cincinnati Enquirer. SAND AS AN UNDERSTUDY.
