There has been a terrible loss of
camels in the Afghan campaign. Al
readj the trade between India and
central Asia will be crippled simply
for want of means of carriage during
the next few years. Thousands of
camels have perished from overwork
and bad forage, and as these had been
got together at high prices and with
great difficulty, it is easy to understand
the inconvenience that will be occa
sioned on the frontier.

Kentuckey whisky, according to
the Louisville Courier-Journal, owes
its excellence to the superiority of the
grain, the quality of the limestone
water, and the slow process of distilla
tion. Rourbon generally contains 70
per cent, corn, and 15 malt, while
rye whisky is made of rye and malt.
The ingredients are stirred into mash
in a huge tub, and then put into fer
menting vessels. Yeast is used to
hasten fermentation except for sour
mash whisky. The process ia not
much unlike beer making. The
liquid is next distilled twice, and
becomes old whisky in about a week
from the start.
