IT appears that the Germans are not
the largest consumers of beer and other
malt liquors, as has been generally sup
posed. The CHEMICAL REVIEW figures
ont that the production of beer in the
German Empire amounts to 92 quarts
per head. but large proportion of this
beer is exported. Iu Austria the amount
is "a quarts per head. In Great Britain
ll5 quarts Of very strong beer ia the
ratio. I'm the United States the beer for
each inhabitant is 40 quarts. The con.
sumption of malt liquors is increasing

Ohio River there are few breweries.

terms with the first families of Virginia
or elsewhere.

Rome from Sicily, having administered
the affairs Of that Island for two years
with great justice and probity, lie stopped
on the way at cne of the South Italian
summer resorts. He expected that the
whole world had been ringing with h !
praises. Imagine his chagrin when al
sx-Consul said to him at dinner one day
"Well. Cicero how are things going OIL
at Rrme?" William 5. HOLMAN, OF In
diana, is being doomed for a position
greater than the Governorship of Sicily
