The friant cactus, or Sahnarah. is
peculiar to Arizona. It is a weird, un
couth specimen of veretatioii. and is.
;is ii name implies, a jriant the most
overTrow ii meiiilier tif a iiumeroas ami
prolilie family. Ctmtrary to the pi-ii-eral
rule with nnitue productions in
both t 'ii" animal ami vc-rctable liin
tl mis. t here i. no immediate thinrer of
this curious plant luromiii extinct,
for there are )t n-t it ns of Arizona where
its lofty tinted col, nuns, staiitiino- in
opvii order, dot the landscape as far as
the eye can see. covering the tlesolate
plains and foothill-, like an immense
army of skirmishers.
To the native Indian, says the Kansas
City Journal, the Sahnarah pronounced
sah-w ah-ra h 1 is a valuable ami ;is-ful
plant, sian liiifr in iiuieli the same r-la-tion
to him as theeoeoanut palm to the
South Sea inlanders. It supplies, him
shelter, food, drink, and many other
necessaries.. It is almost animal like
in its construction, having a fi-auu
wt.rk tir skeleton clothed with soft,
tleshy matter which, in its tarn, is prt
tcctetl by a toii'h epitiermis. 'l itis skin
beiie,' watertight, preserves moisture
in the interior, which would otherwise
quickly evaiHirate under the rays id
the torrid sun. leaving it to dry up ami
tiie. So important is the service of this
shin to the life of the plant that it is
itself Mrotecietl from abrasion bv a for
midable array of bristling thorns,
which o-uard the surface at every
liint. It is thus that even in the midst
oi tiie most barren ami thirsty deserts,
where there is sometimes no rainfall
f'-r nths. the Sahnarah is aide to
preserve for its own tw sutlicient wa
ter to 1 ive iion.
The heart of the plant, which con
sists of a soft w hite pith, is sum muded
with a jjvnuine skeleton, formed of
bui.r. slender strips of soft though
toiiLfh ami striiijry wood. standinr in a
circle ami reaching from end to end of
the shaft, each strip parallel to the
others and all joinetl toret her at inter
val - by cross tiber.s. These make ex
cellent ready made lishpoles. an.! the
Indians also ns(. them for makino- their
huts, or "wickiups." ami frequently
construct the entire buihlini.' with
them. The fruit is ;i1m mt t In- size ami
sliape of a rather small hen eirir. antl is
at'achetl without stem directly to the
blunt end of the shaft ami the various
limbs. When ripe, the frreen hull,
w'hich has by this time assumed a sc;tr
let hue. splits open in four lolies. lik,
the calyx of a t ulip. disclosine; to view
nil upright . pulpy mass, wit h theeou
sisteiicy of a tii;. anil, like the latter,
ink d with innumerable black seed...
This is tlelicioiis when eaten fresh, and
also when dried ami prepared by the
squaws as a preserve rcscuihliiio- ti;r
paste.
Lut the fruit is chielly valuetl by the
dusky natives for its use in the manu
facture of the Indian intoxicant, tiz
win. which is made by fermentation,
and by means of which every year at
the ripeiiino- each trilc indulges in a
frraml annual carouse. It is durino
these "tizwin drunks." as they are
cidl.-d by the whites, that most of the
rtiid.s and outrages have tcurre.l i:i
past cars. A.-som as the lri.u ripen-,

b.i-.kets. which they carry balanced on
their heads.
When, after nil merous j. niriieys back
and for;!i. a sufiicieiit quant iiy has
ln-en ;ra l Iieretl. the juice is pressed out
by trea liti- the fruit in wide, shallow
! .a -'..ets. a nd ci dlee'o 1 into lar"e ea r! h

power, ami the welcome news i .

hastens to the "tizwin camp." ami
proceeds w ithout further ccivia my to
intoxicate hir.isclf as " in- i i t i u ly a.-,
can be accouilished. Meanwhile 1 he
s j-iaws and children, who are i-ever
allowe.l to join in the revelry, iiriiiaire
to j.'et their fun out of the ati'a-r a:.
sp-ctators. They climb on top of the
bev i is of the "wickiups." and
there, perched securely out of harm's
way, they view with shouts of laughter
or how I -of woe. sis the e:s.. e may 1h.

In truth, it is an interesting siu'b.t.
but should lie viewetl by white men
only nn.hr t he protect in of a strong
military 's.-trt. for the Apache is but a
devil at Is-st. antl when tilled with "lire

f.nnual festival passes without ihe set

The custom of hohlinfr these tizwin
reunions is common to all the triln-s of
Arizona, whether warlike Apache or

three smaller ones, constituting jios

mice ami grubs. They apparently
paid no at tent i. .ii to me as I rode past,
tine hundred ami rifty yards away.
My horse looked a little wild and fidg
eted some at the sight of tliem. but I
kept him in the trail without tiiiliculty.
""At another time a ln-ar gave me
considerable of a scare. I had just
crossed this same valley and was just
In-ginning to ascend the wmnitsl
heights Wyond it. I had dismounted,
and was leading my horse up the steep
hillside when a ln-ar broke out of the
bushes a little In-hind me and came for
ine furiously, showing her teeth and
growling. I st.tl still, expecting to
In- torn to pieces the next moment,
from the determined way in which she
came it was a she ln-ar but she
stop ted just short of seizing me and
turned to dash in the same way at niy
horsc. and at that I dropjn-d the bridle
and made up the trail as fast as I could
go. My horse, instead of turning back
to run for life in the clear ojn-n ground
of the valley, when she charged at him.
made a detour up the hill and came
l-ack on the trail In-hind me. The ln-ar.
looking mighty ugly with her frothing
mouth ami bristling hair, kept up h.-r
demonstrations, directing them princi
pally at my horse. You know how a
horse, when thoroughly frightened,
will seek the i'iuiiunv and protection,
of humanitv. and so. do all I could to
drive him away, my Wast all the time
kept right In-hind me with his nose at
my shoulder, trembling with fear, but
refusing to leave me. as tiie ln-ar kept
making dashes at us out of the busle-s,
sometimes from one side and sometimes
from the other.
"I didn't know then what I have
learned from the habits ,(f the animals
since, that tiie ln-ar was running a bluff
on us and did not mean so much to
harm us as to scare us away. She nn
douhtcdlv had cubs colict-alcd close by
in the bushes and resorted t-1 a common
trick of the female War to drive awav
intruders. Probably if 1 had stood my
ground she would have tackled Hit- ami
in that ease it would have ln-eii all up
with me. She followed us one hun
dred yards or so and then, seeming sat
istied that she had got us fairly on the

Commercial travelers, sometimes
called "drummers." have acquired a
reputation, perhaps undeserved, for
largeness ttf statement. Thus we read
in the Washington Star that a commer
cial traveler of the more flashy ty-e
had just finished a startling story,
when the listener, a new acquaintance,
remarked:
"That remind me of one of Mun
chausen's yarns."
"Munchausen?" answered the drum
mer: "w ho is lu-.""
"Why. don't you know alni:t him?
He is the most colossal example of
mendacity that civilization has pri
duced." A moment of silence followed, broken
by the commercial traveler.
"Lxcuse me." he said, "would you
mintl telling me what house he travels
for?"
