The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production Of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is Of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. It
is delicate, with smart sm ack Of hops and
malt, and leaves q lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of it's best qualities is its
ightness, causing no headache, even il
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, il not
superior, to any Of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders

The Gorgeous Turnouts at the Ma
tional Capital.

An old.timer recently vouchsaied
much valuable information concerning
the history Of driving in Washington.
Forty years ago there wire tine car
riees, TO be sure, but they were the ex-
cspt,on, not the rule. Thon well-to-do
family were satisfied with a substantial
barouche or carry.all, with pair Of
horses that could be gotten for $3.50 IN
gold. But now the head OF u house feels
It incumbent on him to have coupe
costing at least $1,000 aud a pair OF
horses worth no less than 5000. There
were some few old families that indulgsd
In the luxury of the old-fashioned,
clumsy Queen Anne carriages, that were
rather costly aud generally imported,
but these were few aud far between.
Tho fancy vehicles Of to-day were
entirely Unknown. Rich men used
to ride horseback much more, and
an old citizen on the back OF a
plug horss catering along the
shaded streets was no uncommon spec
tacle. Such thing as lackeys Ia livery,
except those of tho diplomatic corps,
would have been hooted at, aud even u
fashion ,ble lady did not consider foot
man an indispensable attachment while
making her social calls. IL Is tho Ire
quent remark Of foreign visitors that tbs
turn.outs here are almost ms varied and
brilliant a. can be found in any capital
Of the world. Diplomatic representa-
tives usually have the finest carriages
that foreign makers can produce. The
British minister's carriage and splendid
bays never fail to dazzle the beholder as
they fash along tho avenue. Mr.. West
il said to have invested 5000 for hts
turnout. Herr Won Eiscndeeker, the
German minister, who has been recalled.
has gorgeous carriage and team OF
silver grays.
The Chinese minister Is sfrequenily seen
ON the suburban drives behind $4,000
team. lin
Perhaps our Senators can boast OF the
best equipages to be found In Washing
ton. The average American senator,
being Q millionaire, can well afford to
keep q stable of blooded horses. Senator
Palmer, Of Michigan. is q great lover OF
horsefosh, and has six Of the fastest
trotters ut the capital. Senator Sabin Is
often seen behind his So. 900 trotters,
and Senator Calls bloodsd team exoites
the envy Of all horsemen.
And 30 on, ad libitum. The beautiful
drives ON the northwestern confines OF
the city present these fine afternoons u
moving panorama Of brilliant coupes.
English drags. French landaus, aud
panelled carriages drawn by teams
caparisoned In harness that glistess ik o
Furnished gold.
"Thore's been wonderful change in
the last few years." said the old timer,
''but question il 1t is for the better.
All this gorgeousness Is not healthy
sign. There's Col Burnside. for instance.
who held the gilded ribbons along the
boulevard. Last Tuesday he was out
with his golden handled whip and his
two bloodod bays. Wednesday he was
in Jail. His blooded horses cost the
Government Sf5, 900 Of stolen money. l
fear there's many fine horse and car
riage in Washington that represents just
so much money embezzled from the
people"
