BEER IN GERMANY.
They Only Drink Water over There

They Only Drink Water over There In
Secret shame-faced Way.
[From Richard g. Burton in Hartford CourantI
Even though you know it beforehand, the
prevalence of besr-drinking and smoking
here must strike the foreigner on his arrival
in Deutchland. It Is becoming question
with me, if native ever, under any circum-
stances, uses water as q beverage. So far, I
incline to a negative answer. It appears to
be understood that If you must 80 far forget
yourself as to quench thirst with water, you
should at least do 1t in privacy and not In
public. This is proved by the fact that your
bedroom is supplied with caraffe of excel
lent drinking water, but in the restaurant
where take my meals have kept up sharp
scrutinyof the tables and have yet to see q
single sign of water drinking. This, too, in
place patronized by both sexes. Already I
feel mean and small about calling for water
when eating and prefer to sneak upstairs and
guiltily gulp hasty swallow there. To do
the other thing is to announce yourself Ia 80
many words thin blooded American and to
win the only half concealed contempt of the
kellner. It must be conceded too, that the
use of beer as national beverage surrounds
1t with an atmosphere of respectability and
poetry which 60 far towards reconoiling
one with the habit. 1t shares with wine the
honers of song, legend and story and has be-
come a tradition, an emblem, a souvenir OF
the great departed The walls of my res
taurant are covered with illuminated verses
in praise of bibulosity; here are a few ex
amples which turned into English at supper
last night:
Let no man suffer thirst, beg,
The celler holds full many keg.
Beer drives all shadows from the brow,
And Strengthens back and brain, trow.
