Some of the Pittshurg brewers think of go- ing into the manufacture of beer called 'fswankey,h that will not come within the limit of the Brooks law. It is manufactured from the residue after the brew of beer is
 made. The hops and the malt having lost their strength, the product of course is very weak With this is mixed little fresh hops
 and malt, and ''swankey" is the result. It I contains about 211S per cent. of alcohol, and 1 e man would have to drink more than his utmost would hold to get drunk on it. It is
 alse very popular in Germany and is called
 table beer there. It can be sold for cents

A Jerusalem correspondent writes that the Holy City is fast becoming again the city of the Jews. In 1880 there were not more than 5000 Jews there; now there are More than 30, 900. Recent Russian prosecutions have led thousands to make their homes there, and although the Turkish government for- bids all Jews that are not residents of Jeru- salem to remain longer than thirty days, yet q judicious application of bribes enables them to stay there as long as they please without molestation. Wealthy Jews have built hospitals and founded homes, and many of the refugees whs are poor live frem the charity of their brethren.

Why the South IL Poor.

Speaking of Southern progress, Hen
ry w. Grady of the atlanta Constitu-
ton, says: "Thc other day there was
u man buried in Pickens County. He
was dead, and they were putting him
away. In digging grave for him
they dug through three feet of marble
as pure as any Partisan sculptor ever
moulded, and yet the marble slab that
went ut the head Of his grave was
imported from Vermont. Although
pine forests were all around him, the
pine coffin in which he lay was mort
ed from Philadelphia. Although iron
was in the hills within hundred feet
of his grave, the nails in his coffin
came from Pittsburg. Although there
was hard wood in the same forest, the
handles of the shovels and picks that
dug his grave We're imported from
Cincinnati. The truth is that his own
County, rs rich or richer in natural
resources than any in the State, fur
nished nothing for that funeral but the
hole in the ground and the corpse.
He was clothed in shoes from Massa-
chusetts, . suit from Chicago, Il shirt
from Cincinnati, Il hat from Lynn, and
his own County furnished nothing but
the marrow in his bones and the blood
in his veins"
