Genuine beer is rs hard to find as
pure ale or porter Not only are malt
and hop beels largely adulterated Sut
be RS are made without malt or hops
Sugar, honey, molasses and liquorice
are used for malt; alum, opium, gen
tian, quassia, aloes, cocculus indicus,
amara, tobacco, and unux for hops
saltpeter, Jalap, salt, maranta, green
copperas, marble dust, oyster-shells
egg-shells, sulphate of lime, hartshorn,
shavings, ut-galls, potash, soda, &c,
to prevent souring. The beautiful
caulihower head often comes from
green vitrol, alum and salt. Tie
smack of age, and the tingle to tic
palate often comes frem vitiol. Take
your ale, beer and porter if you will
but remember its strength or intoxi-
eating qualities may be due to the
deadly cocculs indicus, foxglove, hen
bane, nultum and opium, nnx-vomics,.
and the narcotic power to opium, to-
bacco and grains of paradise, smack
your lips at the tingle of lime and
pepper, and exult in the foam of cop
eras and lime. Is there not death in
the beer-mug ?-Dr. f. G. Dalton.
When girls are taught at the motl.
er's knee, at the home freside, in
school and in society, that it is as dis
graceful for them to be loafers as it Is
for their brothers, we shall have girls
demanding and getting that thorough
! ness of mental and technical training
hich is needed in the successful pur-
suit of any employment, and not be-
fore We shall have standard then
for scholarship, and women Will look
upon education as something better
than mental ruffles aud furbelows, or
as mere means Of enabling them 10
support themselves in genteel inde-
pcndence until they can marry, and We
shall hear no more of lack of employ
ment for women
The idea of conveying messages un-
der the sea, says Mr.. j. Holmes, in n
recent article on telegraphy, was fIst
conceived by Sir c. Wheatstone, in
the year 1910. For his experiment he
chose Swansea Bay, in South Wales,
and there, stationed in an open boat,
and with the help of a lighthouse
keeper, he practically set in operation
the first submarine telegraph cable in
the world, consisting merely of con-
ducting wire insulated with hemp and
q resinous compound. From the results
of that trial has proceeded the great
submarine telegraph system now e.
tending over so large a portion of the
globe.
A machine has now been perfected
which may be applied to cooling the
air of theatres, halls, and all public oI
private dwellings. One of these ma
chimes will either produce two hundred
pounds of ice per hour, or will furnish
in the same space Of time thirty thous-
aud cubic feet of air cooled to a tenn.
peralure of thirty degrees Fahrenheit.
| 1t is probable that in few years We
will turn on from the same registers
the cool air in summer and hot air in
winter. The application of such an
apparatus to the pipes of heater
would be extremely simple, and furnish
just we want when the heater is of
duty.
