A wealthy German is about to start
big brewery in Cincinnati in order to man
ufacture perfectly pure beer. He declares
that there is not gallon OF unadulterated
beer made in America. And yet Germans
from the Fatherland are said to like Gin
cinnat beer better than that made in Ger
many. Fred Mussey wants to know in
print why this is so. 1t is so because
human appetite, as well as human nature
prefers vice to virtue-likes the naughty
better than the nice. The adulterated
beer may taste better because it is more
wicked. "In the mouth it is sweet as

Ryan's bill for legal arbitration OF diff

arbitration is not compulsory. The able

amendment before the Ohio voters next
fall, if Republicans enough can be found
in the two houses to make up the neces-
sary three-fifths to pass the resolution. The
attitude Of the Republican minority in the
debates on the resolution will be watched
with interest. The amendment will not
carry before the people, but the effect of
its submission will be important in the
campaign; though what that effect will be
can not be calculated.

How Parisians are Employed.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Statistics show that more than half q
million of Parisians are employed in
commerce, trade and banking opera
tions, while Of the artisan class there are
considerably more than million and a
quarter. The liberal professions seem
to occupy but small proportion of the
population. All combined do not
amount to 200, 600. The great majority
are in public service, which employs
more than medicine, law and divinity
combined But after the public SER
vice it is art which gives employment
and livelihood to the greatest number
of Parisians. Forty-two thousand
get their income from this branch
of industry. The doctors come
after, but long way after. Medi-
cine, in its branches, supports $4,000,
the branches, of course, including
chemists and all compounders and ven
doris of medicine. Then comes the law,
with it's 16 900 votaries, from judges to
crier. Literature figures very low on the
list, for, grouped with science and
journalism, it gives employment to only
1000 people, while all the clergy of all
the persuasions amount to but half that
number. On the whole, Paris would
seem to be more industrious, more az
tistic, less literary and less religious
than the ordinary visitor would sup
pose, while the proportion in which the
working class exceeds those who live
on their own income is more remarka-
BILE, as Paris is the recognized center OF
expenditure and extravaganza of all
France.

Forehanded Farming.

Mr.. w. @. French, Great Darlington
Mass, on farm of 175 acres-only six
ty tillable, the rest in forest or woody
pasture keeps twenty four dairy cat
tie to supply milk route; they arc
literally fed with purchased grain, and
the soil is therefore constantly becom-
ing more productive. Sweet Gown, po-
tatoes and garden vegetables are also
raised for the local trade, and the ag-
gregate crops are, The n. u. Farmer
says, four times as great as were form
erly grown on the undivided homestead,
which contained twice as large sur
face.
"Buckwheat bulls obtained from a
Touring mill near by are used tor bed
ding, and are excellent for the purpose.
Winter rye is sown early in autumn for
green feed for young cattle, and to cut
for hay the following season. Over SOC
bushels of onions were grown per acre
last year. Cabbages without single
stump foot, owing, as Mr.. French thinks
to the free use of lime in the seed bed,
are selling at 81 per hundred to his milk
customers. Oats are made prominent
crop, and are sowed so thinly on rich
land that the yield of grain is heavy,
while the straw is not thick enough to
destroy the young clover and other
grasses sown with them. We have
rarely seen better catch of grass than
can be seen here after crop of oats.
Water is brought in pipes to the house
and barns, and is in full supply and OF
the best quality. Some dozen or more
families combine to pay the expense, and
are thus supplied at a very moderate
cost, though the spring is moro than
half a mile away"
