GINGER BEER.
How q Druggists Boy Stumbled on a
Rich Secret.

DIR. j. Hameral, editor of Les Deun
Mondes, Buffalo, N. T., furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting account of the &C.
cidental origin Of ginger beer and
the results which made its inventor a
wealthy man:
Everybody" said DR.. Hameral,
''knows the ginger beer, the popular
drink of the middle and lower classes I'm
England, the yearly sale of which at one
penny per bottle reaches millions and
millions Of bottles. But the origin OF this
pleasant, cheap, and truly temperance
drink / doubt whether, even
in England, there are many men
who could say how and by whom it was
invented. The story saVors a little of ro-
nance, and can vOuch for it's truth, hav-
ing heard it many time from the lips Of
the inventor, who was rather proud Of
his achievement, and not without good
reason.
''some so years ago Louis Carez, boy
Of 16, the son Of very poor country
physician in France, was sent by bis
father to a school In London in which he
got board, lodging, and instruction in
English I'm exchange for lessons I'm French
to the younger pupils. Eight months
later the schOOlmaster died, the school
was closed, and Louis Carez found him
self alone in the big city without friend
and with very scanty resources. While
looking out for another school, he took a
room in the house OF a druggist, In one Of
the low parts OF the city, and managed to
live with So a month, all that his father
could send him. II was almost starva-
ton. But the poor boy had not seen the
end OF his troubles. One day the month
ly remittance failed-the father was
dead Tie boy would nave died OF want
II 10 had not been for the kind charity Of
the old druggist and his wife. They had
become attached 10 the pretty, well-be-
haved boy, they pitied his forlorn position
they gave him his room and bis board
until he could obtain situation.
Anxious 70 make himself useful,
Louis Carer swept and cleaned the little
store, and was soon able TO help the
old man In preparing simple prescnp-
tons.
zone day, az he was alone in the store,
a woman called for some ginger powder.
Louis served her and, after she left,
tasted the powder. He liked IL, but find.
Ing IL burnt his tongue, he mixed it with
water. Then an idea struck him. He
put some ginger powder in one glass and

Cf one glass into the other and drank with
delight the pleasant, effaryescing
draught. The ginger beer, although in
crude state, was discovered For several
days, whenever he bad q chance, the
young inventor experimental in the
small laboratory, and having al length
perfected his new beverage, he calculated
that he wanted two Ruineas TO manu-

and beg for the loan OF two guineas. But
the old man did not see the matter IN the
same light as the enthusiastic young boy
and refused the loan. However, It was
written In the book Of fate that ginger
beer was not 70 be withheld from the

appreciating palates Of Englishmen. The
wife of the druggist had heard the ex-
plantations of the boy, and whether she
had faith in his invention or
was more tender-hearted than her hus-
band, the same evening she slipped two
gold pieces IN the hand of Louis out of
her scauty savings. A few days la'er he
could be seen on the streets OF
London, carving a basketful OF bottles
in the hand and a glass in one other,
calling: "Ginger beer, the drink of
the period; ginger beer, three pence a
bottlelv
"a few months atterward Louis Carez
manufactured and sold daily 1000 bottles,
but one year later he formed partner
ship with Capt. Dubbers, and es-
tablished large works which could scarce
" meet the demands, and had to be
enlarged more than once. Ginger beer
sold retail at two pence bottle. After
four years of partnership, being then
u years of age, Louis Carez sold his
share in the concern to his partner for
100000 and went to Paris. He invested
his capital in the silk house OF VacOssln,
at that time about the year 1915 already a
very important one. But Louis Carer
was born merchant. and in 1924 the

Day by day business on the Stock Exchange
is being reduced in the amount of transac-

promised reaction has begun in earnest.
The general opinion among those who believe
IN slll further declines IS that there will b. a
sharp reaction, but that the tendency will
still be downward for some time to come
until materially lower figures have been
reached. On the other hand, the bulls insist
that the bottom figures were reached to-day,
and predict further advance in prices. The
bull following, however, is diminishing IN
numbers. The opening this morning was
strong ana early dealings were Irregular, fol
lowed by general decline. The lowest

reached before noon, but after moderate re-
action many of the same stocks sold again as

Tossing the Beautiful"

Throwing snow balls and soliciting inside
of the Union Depot" were the charges that
stood opposite the names of Patsey Mac
manas and John White on the slate at the
Central Station yesterday. The prisoners
are bootblscks, and when arrested were
dividing the time between soliciting shines
and tossing the beautiful at each other.
The coppeTs have not yet quit ~denouncing
the recent friged weather, and when they
saw John and Patsey enjoying themselves
in this manner they nipped them without a
moments delav.
