sad Medietas to the Mexicans.
The cactus prows wild in Mexico in
almost endless forma of errowth, while
some localities certain kinds are
ultivated for the prolit to be tlorived
through their production. The Mair-
ey, a plant of the cactus family, is
ojio of the most valuable of the rtro-
ncts of Mexico, and tho uses to which
it is put by these people seem almost
infinite In variety. A fujritiro para
graph u from a newspaper furnishes
partial list: 'jTho maguey ;crti9 a

One species of tho maguey pl int
furnishes a drink known as "pulque,"'
which, before fermentation takes place.
is not intoxicating and mot unpleasant
n taste. Itrpresents a milky appear-
nec, and is slightly tart and pungent.
Fermentation occurs in a few davs
tfter production, and pulque then, like
hard cider, will produce lutosica-
lon if taken m suiiicient quantity.
In some localities this drink is quite &f
extensively used in th country as i
the malt-beer now so largely consumed
throughout the United States. In the
City of Mexico, where the water is of
poor quality, pulque is almost univer
sally used, many persons discarding
entirely the water furnished by the
city.and using the unfermented pulque
solely as a beverage. .
One of the richest citizens of the
Mexican capital realized his immense
fortune from the sale of pulque, being
the proprietor of several retail shops in
various -onarters of the citv. His in
come is estimated at over j:W,0U0 pet
annum. t hen it is known that on an
estate of one thousand acres of the
chenpest quality of land a million
plants may be constantly flourishing in
their- several stages of growth, anil
that during the entire time there will
be a sufficient number of matured rna-
gueys to furmsn about lour tnonsaiia

apparent that there is a good margin
for profit In the production of this bev

It is said that over forty thousand
gallons of pulque are sold and drunk
in the City of Mexico daily. From the

bringing this liquor within the cor
iHirate limits, tho municipal treasury
derives an income amounting to f 1.00C

Cleaning Black Silk.
I have recently ripped, sponged and
made over an old black silk witu such
success, that I must impart my know!
edge to the readers. ...The process was
a new one to me, although it may nol
prove so to you. I first thoroughly
brushed it with a soft caniei s-uaii
brush, then laid each piece flat on
clean pine table, and sponged it with
hot coffee that had been slrainod
through a piece of muslin. This I did
on the side which I intended to turn
out; allowed it partially to dry, ant
ironed it on tho wrong sine. it was
very dirty, shiny, and adorned with not
a few grease spots, before the nitra
tion, and I was surprised to soo how
completely tho grease and shine were
removed. It has none of the crackly
stiffness Imparted by water or beer.
