HreWed.
With the advent of cloudless skies,
bright sunshine, and spring flowers, also
comes the "bock-bier' season, says the
Baltimore Herald. Nearly everybody who
drinks at all imbibes "bock bier" lie
drinks It because he likes It, and asks no
questions as to how It is made and how it
happens to be called "bock bier" Only
after man has 'been out on the road"
on a Sunday afternoon and has gauged
his capacity according to the ordinary
rule does he realize that something is
radically wrong that he must have made
q mistake in the addition; that somebody
has designs upon his life and has drugged
him. In the rarest instance does he
ascribe his tanglcd-up condition to the
real cause-if he can think at all. Moth
ing unusual has happened. He simply
dallied with the ambercolored beverage,
and has been "knoclled OUT by the
"boCk, or buck, as il Is in English,
Almost every German Is fairly familiar
with the etymology Of the term and will
explain to the inquirer that "bock bier
contains more malt than the ordinary
lager beer, and n certain quantity of II
will have more decided effect than the
same quantity of lager beer. On account
of this 'bucking' quality it was called
"bock bier" the sponsor undoubtedly
having in mind the tendency of q goat
to use his business end.
The custom of brewing "bock bier is
very old. II was first introduced by
German brewers for the purpose of giving
their customers treat when what the
American brewers call the "winter beer
had been used, or rather when the term
for this "wnter' beer had expired. In
olden times the brewers .yepe n ttifIU fial6iit
of brewing -ip-sSdmmer, and the book
came~Gn before the lager of the last
years brewing had given out. Bock-bier
Is brewcd in December only for the sea-
son Which lasts about four weeks, be-
ginning on April I. II is more expensive
and is brewed as yearly favor to the
customer
In the "bock bier" signs Of the present
day nearly all traces OF the old.time sig
ni1cancc are lost The splendid speci-

dozen or more glasses. or dashing ladies,
in impossible costumes, cut very low in
front, are pictured on the signs.
There are not wanting people, too, who
mnt that with the advent of the more ex-
pensive, highly illuminated posters the
quality of the beverage has deprecated,
and that the "bock" has lost much of his
od-time vigor and strength. However
that may be, "bock bier is still very pop
ular, and the votaries of the William
