The Origin Of Beer.

Ale was the sole title of malt liquor
until the reign of Henry Will, mp to
which time the employment of hops as
an ingredient in the beverage was I'M
known in England. In the year 1924,
or thereabouts, the use of hops was
introduced from Germany, and to dis
tinguish the new kind of liquor from
the old the German name bier was
adopted, and, with an infnitesimal
change of spelling, became part of our
language Germany, in truth, is the
native land of beer, and nowhere in the
world is it treated with such special
honor.
In Germany the drinking of beer is
not, as with us, a mere means of carnal
refreshment, but, particularly among
the students of the universities, is ele-
waited to the dignity of cult, familiar
ity with whose ritual is deemed an es-
sential branch of liberal education. We
remember to have seen, appended to
receipt of NJ. Francatellis for some
specially seductive beverage, the recon-
mendatior, "Stir and drink devoutly."
This is precisely the mental attitude of
the German student in relation to beer.
He drinks devoutly; indeed. it might
be almost sid, parodying the familiar
Oriental phrase, that in Germany
"there is no God but beer. and the
student is the prophet. CornhiLl

APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.

Destructiveness of the Recent Earthquake
I'm China = Fifteen Thousand Persons
Killed and Many Towns in Utter Ruin.
RECENT cable dispatches bring some further
particulars of the great earthquake in China
just before Christmas, which proves to have
been of appalling magnitude
Fifteen thousand people persisted in the
course of four days, during which at uncertain
intervals the shock continued. This estimate
is to some extent suppOsititious, because it was
scarcely possible after SO tremendous vista
ton TO ascertain the exact loss OF
life. How many have been injured
appears TO dery computation yet The
capital district or Yunnan is absolutely one
mass of ruins. More than 5000 persons were
killed by the fall of houses at Lam. At other
Chinese towns the effect on buildings al
most as terrible, with the additional horror of
the earth yawning till frighttul chasm was
produced, from which water of red color was
elected. The shaking OF the earth seems To
have been followed by subterranean convul-
sious OF the most fearful kind. Further north.

aspect OF the country has been completely
changed. Large tracts of land suddenly dis
