BOOKS ANNIVERSARY.
How and Why the Popular Spring Beer Re-
ceived Its Queer Name.


The jubilee of the introduction of book
! beer was celebrated throughout Germany
Tuesday, says the New York Press.
Every German In town touched his lips
with the favorite foaming, exhilarating
beverage, and more than one man is tying
wet cloths about his head and drinking ice
water this morning because he found book
higher and harder kicker than he ever
anticipated. Bd
A German would have been insulted
yesterday if any one had proposed to him
champagne as a worthy substitute for his
beloved book. Indeed, there be those
who say that the real cause of the national
antipathies between France and Germany
is the intense jealousy that sprung up in
the hearts OF the French when the children
of Gambrinus discovered a beer that out
ranked the best product of champagne as
popular drink. Book beer was first
brewed in Bavaria, on the Sth day of May,
1888. The history of its production, as
related last night by William Heintz of
the John Eichler brewing company pre-
sents many interesting facts.
"Bock," said Mr.. Heintz, twas first
brewed to celebrate the annual spring fes-
tival which the people along the Rhine
had for years held on May s. This day
was selected because the hardest winter
ever known to the valley of the Rhine had
always broken its force by that day
Snow has been known to fall as late as
May Z, but the day following has always
been a a charmed date, and as a result be-
came accepted all over that section as the
first day of spring. The name Book was
not given to the beer till after it was used
in celebrating spring
"Bock in German means billy goat.
The beer, being made for a special Occa-
sion, was made twice as strong as the COM
mon, everyday beer. A person who can
drink twenty glasses of common beer and
carry it home without letting his wife into
the secret, will be more likely TO find shell
ter in a station house than in his own bed
if he takes half that quantity OF genuine
book. The people who drank book for
the first time did not know this, and when
they had taken their usual everyday
draughts good many OF them had their
horns locked together and were butting
each other around like billy goats.
This caused a wag to call thebeer book
a billy goat beer, and the name was so ap-
propriate it became at once popular. Book
beer is, in this country, brewed at the
opening of the beer season. Every brewer
in the country tries to get on the market
first, and this causes it to come out here
much sooner than the day on which it
really ought to be brewed. George Ehret
has the honor of being first this year.
Brewers only make one brewing OF book
as a rule. 1t is much more expensive
than ordinary beer, as it contains twice as
much malt and hops, and is put through
an extra process of fermentation. 1t is
really an annual treat by the brewers to
their customers"
A dozen or more prominent saloon
keepers where reporter of the Press
sampled book yesterday said the beverage
was becoming more and more popular
every year, and that now they sold their
supply OF book almost as soon as they got
it in.

Actions speak Louder Than Words.
fGoshen Democrat

The recent Ingalls-Voorhees controversy
all the congressman of the North, Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas calls up the fewest number
OF pension cases in the bureau. In other
words, his pension correspondence is the
smallest, while Senator Voorhees, is larger
than any other member of congress, either
North or South. Senator John A. Logan used
to have the heaviest pension list before the
bureau, but since his death Senator Voorhees,
takes the lead. Next TO Voorhees,, the senator
who sends more letters to the pension office is
an ex-cOniederate general, viz, Senator Cock
rell OF Missouri lie files more complaints and
gets more pensions allowed than any other
senator or representative, republican or demo
crat, excepting only Senator Voorhees,, and j.
J. Ingalls, less than any one member of either
house of CONGRESS from the North.

Toledo Rlade.l

Toledo Blade.
The old-fashioned courtesy of our grand
mothers is being revived again, though in a
modified form. At n recent reception at the
white house a fair young girl was presented to
the president AS he took her hand she ducked
down about six inches with a movement which
might be termed the lightning courtesy. The
same little bob was repeated a moment later
as she shook hands with Mrs. Cleveland.
Some of the bystanders exclaimed
"How awfully countryF but were
quickly subdued by an explana-
ton coming from one of the initiated. The
trick is the latest English custom on being pre-
scented to people Of note. The movement is a
difficult one, and If universally adopted the
fair society bellies will find some difficulty in
perfecting themselves in the accomplishment,
for, unlike their grandmothers, the early edu-
cation of the modern girl 10 that respect has
been neglected. COurtesies and backboartls
were long ago consigned 10 oblivion as old
fashioned and out of date. Now, together with
the old spinniag-wheels, they are being brought
to light and favor once more.

How to Guess the speed of Trains.


Kansas Olty Times.
There is not one person in one hundred Of
the millions who travel on railroads in the
course OF year who has any idea of the speed
of a train. large per cent. of even the regu-
lar tranmen of the country cannot tell with
any degree Of accuracy how fast a train is run
ming. Frequently engineers are despatched on
a trip over a line OF railroad with instructions
TO run at a speed of a certain number of miles
an hour The engineers do not carry speed
Indicator, but have learned by various methods
10 gauge their engines so as TO make only the
slightest variation from their orders.
The majority of engineers use their driving
wheel as a gauge. They know its crcumfer-
ence, and by counting its revolutions within a
certain time tell very accurately the speed
al which they are running. Another method
is to time the run between mile posts, and still
another is to make calculations from the num-
Der of telegraph poles passed in certain time.
These poles, in a level country, and where four
or five wires are used, are spaced so that tLey
are thirty to mile II only single wire is
used they are spaced from twenty-five 10
twenty-eight to the mile.
The most accurate method, and the one most
in use 10y experienced railroad men, is TO count
the number of rail joints the train passes over
in twenty seconds. The rails in nearly all
cases are thirty feet in length, and the number
passed over i'm twenty seconds is the speed per
hour train is running. For instance, ii a
passenger sitting in a sleeper can count thirty
clicks of the wheels on "a rail joint in twenty
seconds the train is running at the speed of
thirty miles an hour.

she Wasn't Invited.
May 10, 1888

I was one of the 200 people last night who
suffered from one Of the most original and
effective bits of feminine malice that has ever
come within the scope of my observation, says
q writet in the New York Graphic. Ii was at
an uptown reception. Everything had been
done on a scale of splendOr and effectiveness
Tie floral decorations were superb The sup
per was served by Delmonico, and the wine
was plentiful and dry. But there wasn't any
nusic-to speak of At 10 o'clock the bellies
and buds who had been filling up their cards
with complacent satisfaction INDUCED in
expressions indicative of establishment
Al 1890 they were serious, at IL,
in despair. Then clever young
amateur played Valtzes and the
astounding explanation of the faux pas
came out in a note from the leader of the string
band engaged for the evening. He said that
agreeable to instructions received that after
noon from miladi, he would delay his appear
ante until Wednesday next, to which date he
understood tie reception had been postponed.
A couple OF YidOcds in evening dress started
out to find the leader. They came back at
midnight with an accurate description OF the
bearer of the false message. 1t proved beyond
doubt TO be yOung woman of excellentpOsition,
known TO the hostess, but who for some reason
had not been Invited to the house last night
BY this stratagem she had managed to very
effectively mar the harmony of the occasion
and debar her rivals from inspiriting waltz
music. Queer wasn't it?

In Pursuit of knowledge.

Little Alfred is a Brooklyn four-year-old
and remarkably inquisitive. Recently a
gray-haired professor OF natural history
from a western college was visiting the
family, and on one particular evening a
large company of ladies and gentlemen
were invited 10 meet him. Little Alfred
was allowed TO be in the room, and having
been told that the venerable guest knew
all about about animals took advantage OF
a moments pause in the general CONVEX
claim in loud voice: "FessOr proiessor)
how do they make tats fcats) ?" Shouts OF
laughter followed this unexpected episode,
in the midst OF which the youthful inves-
tigator was hurried off to bed.
