Cherries and plums, were long ago
utilized for liquor by tho people of
Europe. Two famous liquors that are
now extensively consumed here were
Invented In widely separated countries
Maraschino was first made In com
mercial quantities at the little town of
Znra, In Dalmatla, the makers having
obtained the secret from the neighbor
ing Slavs of Bosnia. It was originally
distilled from the fine, largo Marasea
cherry, and after the distillation the
seeds of the cherries were cracked and
the liquor flavored from the pits. The
the art of making btadnles camo from
Germans, who doubtless also learned
the art of making light brandies of
plums and cherries from their neigh
bor Slavs In Poland and Bohemia and
Invented the liquor known as "klrchen
wasser ("cherry water"), of which j
vluns, Slavs, Bosnians, Russian Jews, great quantities ara consumed In the'
United States.

ties of sloes the wild prune that
grows all over Europe are allowed to
soak for a long period in first class
gin. At the end of this the 11 mor Is
drawn off and the slow pomace Is

tracted and added to the gin. The
sloe is believed to have certain medici
nal properties. Sloe gin is an inven
tion of recent years, and is made ex
clusively in England.
