ni,c !,rcr- brewing Industry.
Chicago Tribune. !

There appears in Harper'S Magazine
an article on beer brewing in the l nited
States. 1t appears that this stands
sixth among all industries in this
country in the amount of capital used,
being exceeded only hy metals, cottons,
woolen<, and wOrstedS, lumber and
flour; and its growth is shown by the
fact that, whereas in 1870 the produc-
tiOn in the United states was something
over Is, 600, 600 barrels, in 1885 it was
over $1,000. 0u2. The United states
stands third in the list of beer-produc-
ing countries Great ritain at the last
general estimate brewing Zoo, 900, 900
gallons, Germany 900. coo, 900, and
the United States 60j. OO0, 0G0.
The Gems IS reported 2,l9l breweries,
employing , eco people, who earned
wages of $i65.2l yearly an average
higher than in almost any other
industry. The words ale and beer"
are used Unfortunately in England,
but American brewers cOntine the word
beer to lager, the product of what is
known as the INSTRUMENTATION pro-
cess, and ale to the product of the
Experimentation process, which are
carried on with different kinds of yeast
and at different temperatures.

Some fresh anecdotes respecting the
simple mindedness of that honest old
soldier, Marshal MacMahon. have just
teen given to the world. We all know
the story of how, when the marshal
president went to visit Toulouse on the
OCCASION of the great foundations, all he
found to say in presence of that vast
scene of overwhelming disaster was.
Lord. what a lot of water"
And these new histories are like unto
that one. Shortly after he was made
president the Imperialists, fearing
that the Duke d Aumale would gain
too great an ascendancy over the army,
desired that Marshal CanrObert should
be appointed commander of the army
of Paris. The council of ministers was
di ided upon the question, five being
for it and five against it The motion

his surprise that, rs president, he had not
cast his own vote in favor Of the meas
ure, which would thus have obtained
a ma ority. That is true" answered
the marshal; Il never thought of that -
And that was the simple truth; it was
neither u maneu er nor defeat-he
hal never thought of it
ON another occasion, in full minis
terial council, he suddenly exclaimed:
. All, gentlemen, | have just had a
letter from the prime. Imperial. lie is
fine young man; am very fond of him,
and his letter is charming. l must
read it to you" The ministers with
one voice protested against so com
promising proceeding. Very well, "
replied the marshal, putting the letter
back in his pocket; Il will read it later
to each of you separately" This latter
anecdote rests on the authority of NJ.

Acres of Sunflowers.
New Y )rk Sun.

Very many of the spring chickens
sold in this city are raised on sunhower
seed: At many points in New Jersey
there are chicken farms where chickens
are raised by the thousand. Many re-
ceive their first start in life from the
incubator and when large enough are
put on a diet of sunfOwer seeds, which
are full of oil and are very fattening.
The sunfiower gives little trouble to the
farmer, as it is hardy plant and grows
without cultivation. some farmers
plant three and four acres of sunhow-
ers, and such fields have a surprisingly
gaudy appearance. The perfume is
sickening, but when turned into spring
chicken the sunfiower becomes pleas
ing table ornament.

l heard rather Il good story the other
day of Marshall Jewell and Gen. Grant
The two were enjoying walk in Wash
ington one evening while Jewell was
member of Grants cabinet, and far
out on the outskirts of the city they
came upon little girl crying because
she had lost her way. They called a
man and gave hin instructions to find
her home, when of a sudden up came
the child's mother, a comely, rather
poorly dressed young woman, in the
depths of agitation. The men deliv-
cred over their infant ward and walked
away u few steps, when of sudden
the president, eXcusing himself Just
for minute, walked rapidly back to
the child whose tears We're being wiped
away lie didn't explain to Post
master General Jewell what it was that
had prompted his return, and Mr.
Jewell did not explain either why he
too found it convenient to go back to
the little one for a another minute
or so.
Both men had been trying to do good
by stealth. Mr.. Jewell had opened his
purse, not suSpecting Gen. Grants mo-
tive. Gen. Grant did not open his
purse, or rather the child did not get
anything out of it, for by some mishap,
not penny had he in his possession
Instead of coins Postmaster General
Jewell found the little one with an
apron full of cigars. The general had
emptied his pockets into her lap.

The MESSENGER Boys Lot.
[Philadelp hia Times.I

Altogether, the lot of a messenger boy
is not happy one. They are subjected
to exposure in all sorts of weather and
have to take their turns IN working all
night The little fellows walk num-
Der of miles in the course of day or
night and in carrying the hundreds of
dispatches nightly to the newspaper of
fees they have many a flight of stairs
to climb. No matter how hard it rains
or SHOWS or blows. the messenger boy
has to go out in the storm. He can
wait for the abatement OF the storm,
because his message is an important
one, and must be executed at once.
These boys carry in sealed envelopes the
news of the world from the telegraph
Offices to the newspaper offices, and as
rule they run the errands with dispatch.
OF course they play and loiter along
the streets, because they are boys, but
the lettering is generally done after they
have delivered their messages, when
they are on their way back to the tele-
graph office None of the district offices
employ a sufficient number of boys.
They manage to have only enough
boys to keep the messengers they have
busy. This, of course, is an economic
move which the messenger boy does not
the bows get dime or a quarter here
and there now and then.
Their association with street life and
the queer scenes they come in contact
with has a tend ncy to make them
tough, and by the me they have grad
uated from the IN ssenger service they
know pretty mucn all that is worth
knowing about tn shadows and lights
of great city. I ley carry love mes
sages to expectant girls and messages
that help to bre k women's hearts.
They see great many things that most
people don't see and they know moro
than the ordinary observer gives them
credit for.
Said manager: I'VE are very par
ticular about the boys We employ.
Every one must read readily and give
two or three good recommendations
Very few boys are taken under 13 years
of age, and most of them average be-
tween 13 and 10. We give our boys
lectures sometimes and thoroughly in
struct them how to deliver packages
and run errands. So well have they
been trained that they could not be
stopped on the street"

RICH LACE IN ANTWERP.

fCor. n. 0. Picayune.l
Lace in quantity Is never seen IN the
street in Antwerp, unless it is worn by
English or Americans; for no Antwerp
lady would wear her rich lace in the
street or allow herself to appear in a
cheap imitation. These rules still hold
good, though there is less rigidity than
formerly, and young girls wear con-
trasts and their mammaS' designs in
form and fabric which they would not
have dreamed of ten years ago. ! he
domestic and social habits, howe err,
hold good and are maintained as "a mat
ter of pride by the genuine ladies of
Antwerp.
one of these was only a child and would
naturally have inherited a magn Gent
collection of lace, gathered and Inherited
by her mother. But she was not in
clDed to work with the aecdle, and re-
belled against the necessary condition
imposed, of learning how TO mend and
actually make lace, so as to be able to
keep it in perfect condition. Her
mother did not force her, but simply
told her that the lace i'll that case would
never be hers, but would lie left 20 some
members of the family able and willing
to entertain" and care for II. This
threat was sufficient to induce the
young lady to fulfill her mother S
wishes, and now she is not only the pos
SCISSOR of one of the finest private collec-
tons of lace in Antwerp, 10th modern
and antique, but can repair any of it so
that it Is exactly the same as before.
A lace as maze in Antwerp Is very
very desirable possession. 1t is not cut up
and wasted from the piece, as with us,
but an accurate pattern is sent and the

wrought in accordance to cost. The
lace pieces for bonnets, fans, parasols,
and every article of the toilet for which
lace is used are all made and finished
upon the edge in the Same way and are
beautiful and permanent possessions.
The cost for q real lace dress Is not more
than one covered with imitation lace is
with us, but the difference in elegance
and finish, in permanent beauty, can
not be put into words. 1t is difference
in the actual morality and esthetic in
fluence of a lifetime.
An Antwerp lady of the middle or
business class looks forward to the ac-

lady of the same condition in life might
TO the acquisition of sealskin cloak.
But the Antwerp lady more frequently
gets the dress than her New York sister
the cloak; for the reason, probably, that
less money is spent in Antwerp on
trifles and on the costly articles of
street attire, bonnets, parasols, and,
above all, gloves, which are such an i'm
portant and costly item in America.
Besides, the men know that a lace dress
means something; it is equivalent to
their dress coat. 1t will be worn at the
great family reunions and anniversaries,
over all black, over color, with silk
sleeves under them, with lace sleeves
alone; in short, with slight additional
expense it will make several dresses,
and be great economy as we'll as ele-

y wfuI scenes in the siberian Mines.
Boston Saturday Gazette.l

The eXiles who live in the mines of
Russian Siberia are convicts of the
worst type and political offenders of the
best. They never see the light of day,
but work and sleep all the year round in
the depths of the earth, e. tracing sill
yer or quicksilver, under the eyes of
taskmasterS who have orders not to
spare them. Iron gates, guarded by
sentries, close the lOdeS. or streets, at
the bottom OF the shafts, and the min
ers are rallied off from one another in
gangs of twenty. They sleep within
rock heWn recesseS-very kennels-into
which they must creep on all tours.
Prince i.umbomiro Xxi, who was au-
thorized to visit one of the mines of the
Ural at the time when it was not Sus-
pected that he would publish an account
of his exploration in French, has given
an appalling account of what he saw.
Convincts racked with the Joint pains
which quicksilver produces; men whose
hair and eyebrows had dropped Off, and
who were gaunt as skeletons, were kept
to hard labor under the lash. Five
years in the quicksilver pits are enough
to turn a man of 80 into an apparent
Sexagenarian, but some have been
known to struggle on for ten years. No
man who has served in the mines is
ever allowed to return home. The most
he can obtain in the way OF grace is
leave to come up and work in the road
ways, and it is the promise of this favor
as a reward for industry which operates
even more than the lash to maintain
discipline. Women are employed in
the mines as sifters, and get no better
treatment than the men

Calling on an Emir.

When Dr. Landsell, during his late
Asiatic tour, visited the emir of Sa-
markand, he thought it best to make
most of his opportunities in the follow
ing fashion:
II first put on my cassock, that did
duty when | went to the court of st.
James. over this put on a gorgeous,
gold-embroidered waistcOat, adapted
from a garment bought in Servia, as
a specimen of a Sevarian gentleman's
vest-grand enough for a general
and tied cincture at the bottom, with
ends hanging at the side, and over these
| hung my scarlet hood.
Fortunately, perhaps, there was no
mirror in the room. or my heart might
have failed me; but | next put rouni

and sailed forth. My two dignities

bevy of officials, and the two interpret
ers came after
''Of course looked at the people as
we passed through the streets. Need |
say that they looked still harder at me,

Kept turning round to look, and in the
bazaar buyers and sellers stopped their
bargaining in order to gaze.
All went well, however, and We
reached the citadel. This is a large
artificial mound, surrounded by high
clay walls, having an imposing gate
way, with a hamber above and a
tower on either side. A number of
troops were drawn up, who received
me with q salute, and we diSmOunted.

doctor took his leave in the same formal
