on racks, from which the beer takes It's
nane-Ld9er-meaning a bed, frame, ol
rack. =
When beer is drawn from puncbeon
which has before been partially emptied, it
is apt to be fiat, and without s'life." In
several of the breweries atmospheric pres
sure is used to impart to beer from half
filed puncheons that 'slife" or eflervescence
which, to habitual bear bibbers, is one of
the peculiar charms of the beverage.
As the beer in the cellar must be kept
cool, in order to retain its freshness, large
quantities of ice are consumed, forming q
heavy item in the expense of beer max
ing establishment. The barrels and kegs in
which lager is kept for sale are burned out
with tar or pitch after each emptying, for
the double purpose of cleansing the vessels
and imparting to the beer the terebinthinate
flavor of the tar.
In addition to lager, the breweries manu-
facture an article which is called s'shank"
beer. The beer drinker need not start at
this name and imagine, as its title might
imply, that this beer is made from the
shanks of defunct animals, nor yet from
old boots, as was commonly reported when
lager beer began to force its way into the
duCCtlOllo VI ktiuCfiCdl1o. Jilduh UcCI l.
simply beer of lighter quality than lager,
and is brewed mostly in the summer and for
present use, whereas larger is made during
the winter, and stored for summer consump-
ton. Designed to be used at once, "shank"
beer does not require those conservative
qualities which are necessary in larger. The
title ''shank, !" bestowed upon it by the Ger
mans (who are blessed with ears well at
tuned to the ''eternal fitness of things"),
means, literally, thin beer.
l7 ~ COMMON BEER. Z
Obejehr, or common beer, manufactured
to some extent in this city, is made from
barley, and, as we are informed by the
brewers, can be extracted from no other
grain. The process of manufacture is the
same as that observed in the brewing of
lager up to the point where it is placed in
the fermenting tubs. In lager beer the fer
menting process goes on in cool rooms,
while that of common beer takes place in
chambers heated to temperature
of about sixty degrees Fahr. Common
beer remains In the tubs about twenty-four
hours, during which time it loses consid-
erable OF strength, and is then conducted
directly to the barrels in which it is kept
for sale. The barrels are bunged up after
two days exposure, and the beer is then
ready for use. Common beer and shank
beer are of about the same strength, but
the common beer, by reason of being ex-
posed to higher temperature than lager
during the fer1nenting stage, works off the
greater part of that fermentation which, in
the stronger beer, takes place in the head
of the drinker. ObeIjehr beer is recon-
mended to invalids for its tonic properties
aid harmless nature by some physicians in
preference to ale and porter. s-..sa

ALIONEss loose.

A performance not down on the bills oc-
cured during the visit of Moves circus to
Austin, Texas, recectly. While the keepers
Of the lioness were removing her from her
cage TO the band wagon, preparatory to the
parade on the streets, her majesty managed
to make her escape from custody. The adj
miring crowd of spectators, struck with
terror fed precipitately. The lioness first
attacked a mule, springingo on its back, but
the animal proved to be a regular Texas
pitcher, and threw her royal highness some
two or three rods over his head. Discom-
fited here, the savage beast attacked horse,
seizing him by the throat, and succeeded in
infiicting some ugly wounds, before she
could be beaten off. Followed by her keep
ers, she then retreated tothe tent adjoining
the circus, and used By the company as a
dressing-room. The occupants, upon her
appearance did not stand upon the order of
their going but left, some of them up the
center pole, which they climbed with more
agility than they had ever before exhibited
In any ring performances. Having cleared
this apartment, the honess rushed from the
tent, mounted couple of fences, and at
tackled two horses, but before she could do
any damage she was captured and secured
by her keepers. During al this time the
vicinity Of The clrcszs was cleared of spec
tators, and the sida shows lost thsir atfrac-

ACCORDING to the serni-annual report of
the railways in England and Wales, lately
published in the London Times, we find
that this branch Of business has been un-
usually prosperous during the past six
months. The fourteen principal lines place
their receipts at Ell, Jos ,02S, an increase Of
21,262oyer the corresponding last year.
Some Of these English railways have
an enormous traffic = the London
and Northwestern, lpr instance, which
has received in six months f2, SOC, 900, or at
the rate of s25, 10000 per annum. This
is said 70 be double the sum earned by any
railway in the United States, though sew
eral Of our lines have q much larger nile
age than any In Great Britain. Ths Times
claims that the increase OF business comes
mainly from passengers, who constitute the
best paying portion Of the railway system.

THE WORLD TO STOP IN 1873.

The Second Adventists are at it again.
At convention held in Rochester they have
definitely settled the time for the total de-
struction of the world. 1t is to take place
in 1878.
DIR. Barbour, who has prepared several
charts from which he has lectured
extensively of late, from Bos-
ton to Rochester, on the coming of Christ
in 1873, made speech on the signs of the
times, and cited articles in the
London Quarterly the Edinburgh
Reoie,n Blackwoods, and several
American magazines, quarterlies and
newspapers TO show the enormous
proportions of the Commune, its rapid
growth the past year and its present threat
enlng aspect. There were, be said, SOC, 700
members in this country and millions in
Europe. Wendell Philips was member,
and said in his recent lecture in Music Hall,
Boston, that Europe was resting on a
volcano that threatened the destruction of
all her thrones" And if the Church would
not discern the signs of the times, the
world did, and smen's hearts were falling
them for fear and for looking after the
things that are coming on the earth."

This Is at least true Of the old method Of treating

Yes, dear; but I'll not promise to

says"
Father said (" Yes, if mothers will

should stay, though, as Mrs. Cameron
said, "Not for beauty's sake 1t was
not long, though, before care and kind
ness made great difference in Fido, as
Frank called his new pet. When
plump, and clean, and happy, he was
quite pretty little dog, and very ac
tive and playful. He would bring Mr..
Cameron's slippers from the office when
wanted, never tearing or hiding one, as
dogs have been known to do. He would
shut the door by pushing it with his
nose and, if told to do so, would put
pussy down stairs, step at time, in
the same way. Frank taught him to
stand up and beg for his dinner, toss
up biscuit and catch it, and other
similar feats. He tried to please, and
was neither mischievous nor quarrel
some.
"Isn't he pretty, grandpa?" asked
Frank, when the old gentleman came
to make a visit.
Pretty enough" was the reply.
"But ohat use is he? If you had great,
handsome watchdog, now, that would
be something
Frank thought of this, and so did
grandpa, two years afterward. One
night the boy was awakened by Fido's
loud barking. 1t was the first time the
little dog had ever disturbed the family
at night, and Frank, though he thought
it was rather strange, tried to 60 to
sleep again. But Fido kept barking
with all his misht, and Frank conclud-
ed to get up and see if he was hurt.
When he reached the stairs the smell
of smoke startled him, and he awoke
his father. Mr.. Cameron came quickly,
and the instant Fido saw them he stop
ped his frantic barking, and running be-
fore them, showed them where the fire
was. 1t had been so soon discovered it
was easily checked.
"Good dog y said Mr.. Cameron, pat
ting Fido's head. 'You have saved our

Surface Manuring.

Now that the harvest is gathered and
housed, and the wheat crop safely in the
ground, the next subject in order is that
of manure-how to make the most of
the sources of supply at hand, and how
to dispose of the manure when procured.
The supply of homemade manure can
never become adequate to our needs,
and it is only by the greatest carefulness
and diligence that sufficient can be
gathered together to keep lite in our
soil. "Feedyour soil when it is hungry"
says an old proverb, in which case the
proverb is not concentrated wisdom"
at all, nor indeed wisdom of any kind.
Soil should never be allowed to become
hungry. Before this can occur damage
is being done, to repair which will need
some manure to be expended, leaving
less for present needs. With all our
economy, we shall never have enough
manure to supply our wants. 1t should
therefore be matter of study how to
apply what we have or can procure, that
it may do most good. BY spreading on
the surface we get not only the strength
and fertility of the manure, but what
ever benefit occurs from protecting or
mulching the soil. Bare straw unde-
composed has been found to exert a good
influence by the mere covering it has
afforded, and heavy crops which afford
dense shade, as peas, clover, or buck
wheat, are reclloned to benefit the
soil simply from this shading. Then
the spreading of manure on the surface
to remain there during the time the
land is living idle between crops, will
have this effect, which will be additional
to the direct manurial benefits accruing.
Gardeners follow this system, and farm
ers could not follow better lead than
that of the gardeners. The more nearly
the condition of the farm approaches
that of the garden, the nearer approach
will be made in size and value Of crops,
and in nothing can we learn more than
in this system of manuring.-Hearh
and Home.
