par with the other German nations as beer
drin6ers The Vienna beer i. excellent. Ii
Is light, foamy and pleasant in taste and you
will find it on draught in all the great cities
in Europe. The Bavarinn beer is also very

the patronage of the crown This brewery
mas been managed for VGral hundred years
10y the government and il is one of the queer
est drinking places IN Europe There is not
much style, and YOU drink your beer in Il
kind Of cellar which IS entered by a paved
courtyard in which are also tables and seats
Every one waits upon himself in the cellar
Of this Munich brewery. The beer mugs
stand on a row of shelves and any one who
wishes mug of beer must pick up one o.
theSa mugs wash and clean 1t himself and
carry il 10 the counter Behind this several
men ar0 drawing beer from barrels The
,irinker lays down about five cents and thc
mug is filed for him 1t holds about three
pints and no carries 1t of to hunt a table

times as to whether the amount Of beer drunk
by them or their parents has not something
to do with tho large number Of hOw-legged
children III Germany. Certain 1t is that
more bow legged Young Ones are found i'll
Germany and the Scotch cities than any
where else in Europe.
