Enormous Beer Consumption,

Consul Tanner, of Chemnitz, reports
10 the Secretary of State that the beer
production of Germany in 1885 was
1,lO0,OOO,000, gallons, enough "to
form a lake more than a mile square
and six and half feet deep, or it would
make a running stream as large as
some of our rivers" He says the con-
sumption of intoxicants in Germany
per head is iour times as great as in
the United States, yet there are a
Thousand helpless drunkards in the
United States to ten in Germany. The
difference artists largely, he says, if no,
entirely, from the manner of drinking
in vogue in the two countries.
"This science of drinking" he writes,
''consists simply in the hardness OF
drinking. All drinks are taken sip by
sip, halt or three-quarters of an hour
being consumed for glass of beer.
This is so ample that one is liable 10
ridicule for laying stress upon it, and
yet upon this one point hinges, in my
opinion, a question of vast importance
TO Americans.
"By this manner of drinking tn
blood is aroused to greater activity in
so gradual manner that there is no
violent arrangement of the animal
economy BY slow drinking the Ger.
man acconplishes the object of drink
ing, and gives his animal economy a
chance to say Hold enough r. which
only slow drinking will do"
Mr. Tanner says that since his al
rival ii. Germany, he has his "frSt glass
OF water TO see drank"

ABOUT BABIES.

A woman of Irving, Mimi, wrapped q
shawl SO closely around her baby to keep it
warm that she smothered it.
A lady in Waterford, N. Y, discovered a
child about weeks old in sachel floating
in the canal. 1t was not dead, and was soon
resuscitated.
Mrs Henry Hoover, of Polo, paid a visit to
a neighbor, leaving her 6-months-old infant
alone at home, tied in rocking chair, near
the stove. When she returned she found the
child burned to death and the chair in flames
Recently a babe was born to Mrs. Samuel
Wilson, at Buchanan, Mich The next night
Mr.. Wilson thought the child was thirsty,
and undertook to give it drink of water
The babe was strangled through his kind
attentions.
A child years old fell into twenty-foot
well, ut Mount Stirling, Ills, and was drown
ing in four feet of water. Its mother let
herself down by the well rope, got good
grip ON her little ones clothing with her
teeth, climbed out again, aided by the stone
curbing and the rope, restored the child to
consciousness, and then tainted dead away
The smallest baby in Connecticut is New
York state youngster, born two months ago
