Beer.

AS for malt liquors: Excellent ale,
pure and healthful, is imported from
England and Scotland, and some very
good beer from continental Europe.
OF American ale, some is good and
much-especially of the brands that
have built up saloon reputation-is
bad. American beer, particularly that
made in and near New York, must be
viewed with grave suspicion. The
business Of manufacturing it has grown
in short time to vast proportions, and
tempting many to engage in it by the
excessive profits it affords, has epgen-
dered the keenest rivalry. Unfortun-
ately, that rivalry has led, not to the
perfection of the product, but to the
cheapening of production by employ
ment of rice, glucose, corn and other
substitutes for good barley malt; the
use of various drugs to take the place
Of hops or to give supposedly desira-
bly, effects of flavor. color and headi-
ness, or to compel the thirst of the
1rinker, and the evil abbreviation of
The time necessary for honest brewing.
The latter wickedness is perhaps
the worst, as it is the one most
generally practiced. Four months at
least should elapse after beer is brewed
before it is drunk, to give time for the
proper fermentation and clearing from
the baleful yeast germs and impure
matter that In its earlier processes it
necessarily contains. But in our local
beer fermentation is artificially stopped
and the stuff is vended when it is no
more than fourteen days to two months
Did. At best, very new beer is blended
with that slightly older. Brewers claim
that 50'per cent. of properly fermented
beer six months old and so per cent.
of two months old and but half fer
mented gives 100 per cent. of beer four
months old, which is on a par with the
affirmation that one fresh egg and one
rotten egg mixed gives two good eggs.
The universal practice of adding half a
pound of bicarbonate of soda to each
barrel of beer is very bad one for
drinkers.
We get some fairly good beer from
Detroit. Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and
nther Western cities, and in Philadel-
bhia there is one notably good beer
made by an honest and eccentric old
German, but good beer made in or near
New York, even by brewers who in
times past have most loudly claimed
honesty for their product, can only be
hoped for as thing of the future, when
it shall be necessary to keep intelligent
people from discarding beer altogether.

Twins That Look Alike and Think
Alike.

Watkinsville boasts as many pretty
girls as any town in Georgia to it's pop
ulation, and none are more popular
than the twin sisters, Misses Sallie and
Mollie Woods. These young ladies
resemble each other so nearly that even
their intimate friends are often at a loss
to tell "t'other from which. and they
have a good deal of fun at the expense
of young men who mistake which Sis
ter they are speaking to. They are de-
votedly attached to each other, and
have never had cross word. In fact,
not only their tastes and wishes but
their thoughts flow in the same channel.
It is q singular fact, but nevertheless
true, that when ones mind dwells upon
a subject the others thoughts are ex-
actly the same. This has be tested

at a time aside and asking her thoughts,

A Rare Old Patriot.

Colonel George Mathews, afterward
Governor of Georgia, was wounded at
the battle of Eutaw Springs, in South
Carolina, and was left on the field as
the Continental forces were retiring to
take another position. A British sol
der, in passing him, seeing he was
alive, lifted his musket to stab him
with his bayonet. His commander
caught the musket, and said:
Would You murder wounded
oflicer?"
Colonel Mathews, turning upon his
back, asked:
ITO whom do owe my lifeR"
"To me-" said the British lieutenant
Colonel Mathews saw the uniform
was British, and said in ali angry tone:
well, sir, want you to know that

Around this SPOT. where d'ed his hope.
There bounded then the game;
The rcd deer and the antelope,
The mighty grizzly came:
And where some mining camps now hold
Their scenes of strife and blood,
The buffaloes in myrads rolled

Perchance his simple heart despised
And held in sad disdain
The glittering dro whose quest so priced
Disturbed his wild domain;
Perchance TO some still lonelier spot
He restless, yet had flown,
Had not the bastard. ambushed shot
His massive strength o'erthrown
No matter: here he takes repose
From war-path and from chase;
No prouder monument e'er rose
Ger heros resting place.

Around in grandeur sweep:
No care disturbs, nor dream invades
His grand. eternal sleep.

food in summer for hogs partially

but these arc necessary every day
not monthly or even weekly-but
daily. Salt-one ounce per day for
large hogs-will prevent all diseases.
These animals must have plenty Of
living water; clean water is the
best. Dry food should not be given
in large quantities; it should be all
eaten up clean daily. Every person
