Jiuse a Few Words about
Beer.

TAID it ever occur to you that there is as
II much difference in the qualities of Beer
as.in other lines of goods? II not, then we de-
sire to say to you that there is.
In these days of adultcrated articles of food,
both liquid aud solid, some Brewers are us
= smart, or we had better say as - unscrup-
ulous. as many other manufacturers of food
products. aud now resort to the introduction
for the sake of few extra dollars profit, of iu-
gradients into the manufacture of their Brew
aye that are entirely foreign to the same and
are most deleterious to the health of the con-
SINNER. Not so however is this with the Jos.

any other firm in America. They are up TO
the times in the way of having the fiucst
equipped Brewery i'll the country. with all the
latest improvements in Machinery. &c. for the
handling and proper brewing OF their immense
product. But as regards the ingredients of
which their Beer is made they decidedly
ancient. still using Ii0thing but the hest of Bar
ley Malt and the finest Bohemian Hops, thus
retaining intact the only formula by which
gopd, pure beer can be made. If yOu use u

Married In a Depot.

Charley Joralemon, the popular
d~oorkeeper in the ladies' waiting room
at the Union station, tells of an anus
ing incident, not without its pathetic
side, which occurred there not very
longago. A Journal man was chatting
with him this morning in regard TO a
couple Enthusiastically newly married)
who had passed out to their train q
moment before, when he remarked:
"0ne Of tie funniest things of that
kind that eve happened here was a
few months ago when a couple were
married here in. the waiting room.
They had been here for a good while
and appeared TO be very affectionate;
We r all quite accustomed 10 that sort
Of thing here, and hardly noticed
them until a minister appeared on the
scene and babe them stand up. Then
we all came closer and stood by while
the couple were made man and wife.
They were Germans and seemed to
take it as quite in the ordinary run Of
things. When the ceremony was over
the minister went away and the bride
bought tickets and engaged berths TO
Chicago-she evidently managed the
doodle for the establishment-and
when their train went out they went
with it, as happy as a couple Of chill.

That Constantinople is today Mo.
hammedan and not Christian is due
10 the genius of the Turkish sultan,
Mohammed ii, son of Amurath ii, who
was born at Adrianople March "a,
l430. His father and grandfather had
by successive conquests reduced the
Greek empire TO the limits of Con.
stantinople itself. When Mohammed
became sultan in 1850 he determined
TO complete the work of conquest by
tho capture Of that city. The siege
was commenced April &, l453, with an
army of 25S, 600 men and a fleet of 300
vessels. The Greeks, assisted by a gal
liant band of 1900 Genoese, made an
obstinate resistance. Although a com.
bined attack by land and sea made on
the following Doth of May was unsuc-
cessful, the Genoese chieftain, Justi-
miami, was wounded SO severely that
he had to retire from the rampant.
This produced a panic in the city, and
a second Turkish assault, led by the
sultan himself, proved irresistible.
Constantine the XIII, the Greek en-
peror, was slain, and the Turks poured
into the city. Mohammed III COM
pleted the conquest of all the territory
subsequently known as Turkey in Eu-
rope, Greece, the Mediterranean islands
and Crmea, and died in l4Sl.-Phila-

THE POSTAGE STAMP MYTH.
A Syracuse Paper Gives a Youthful Reader
some sound Advice.

For years past there has been an
idea in the minds of many young peo-
pie that there lives a man somewhere
who will give 81, 900 for l,OOO, 900 can
celed postage stamps. In replying to
a youthful correspondent The SYRIA
cuse Herald says; This cancelled
postage stamp myth, for such 1t must
really be called, has been current
among American Juveniles for nearly
twenty years. In many households
throughout the land il is believed in
IS unquestioningly as the Hindoo de-
votee believes in Brahma or as the
Mahometan in the prophet of Allah.
Somewhere there is a person eager
and willing TO pay 81, 200 for 1000, 900
cancelled stamps, and in many places
industrious collectors have been en-
gagged in the fond endeavor TO gather
up the necessary 100000. No one
has ever stopped TO inquire the mean
ing of / 1000, 900, or TO figure for a mo,
ment how long a time il would take
for one person TO collect 100000
stamps.
IAN enterprising youth in search
of stamps would think If hegot ahun.
dred q day he would be getting q
great prize, and yet at that rate il
would take him nearly twenty-eigh,
years 10 gain the coveted million.
Suppose lie could collect 1000 a day
every day in the year, it would still
occupy nearly three years of his time,
and then il would take nearly as long
time TO count them out 10 the person
paying the money for them, and there
would be very little time left either for
eating OF sleeping, much less doing
anything else in the way Of daily du-
ties. Thus it may be seen how foolish
the idea is that, with great industry, a
million stamps could be collected in
many years and then recounted 10 a
purchaser. And yet it seems like
something that could be accom-.
plished.
"a few years ago a pleasant story
went the rounds Of the papers telling
how some young person, eagerly de-
sirous of obtaining this $1,000 for his
education, went the rounds of the
business offices, told his needs and
gathered up all the stamps in innum-
cradle waste baskets. In this way he
obtained 100000 of stamps, and, as
the story goes got the $1,000. But l.
one critically examines the tale it viii,
be zen what an impossibility it is.
To sever the stamps from the envel
opes, TO count and bunch them would
take q very large amount Of time. The
most industrious worker could not
possibly do this work at the rate of one
stamp aminute, but supposing lie did
do this, it would only DO at the rate
Of sixty an hour, or about 600 a day,
for an ordinary days work. At that
rate it would take nearly five years to
count them. Then, if they had to be
counted again TO the purchaser, it
would take another five years"

This Snake Drank whisky.

A correspondent: near Hamilton,
Marion county, sends the following:
Mr.. Owen Hatch, who keeps a small
grocery store in this neighborhood,
can vouch for the ruth of this. Mr..
Hatch sells liquor as well as family
groceries. Keeping only a small stock
Of liquor on hand he keeps most of it
in jugs. One day last week a two gal
Ion jug Of corn liquor was left stand
ing on the floor behind the counter.
Mr.. Hatch stepped behind the counter
and was surprised TO see a large black
snake coiled around the jug with its
bead inside. He watched il for a mo-
ment and soon discovered that the
snake was drinking liquor. 1t was not
disturbed. and after several minutes it
slowly uncoileditself from the Jug and
attempted TO crawl away, but was too
drunk, and stretched itself out on the
floor where IL remained apparently
asleep until next day. Mr.. Hatch
examined the jug and found that the
snake had drank more than a quart Of
liquor. Two days later the same
snake returned, and when IL crawled
under the counter Mr.. Hatch watched
IT. By coiling itself around the jug
and giving its neck n twist around the
stopper il washable 10 remove the cork,
and again thrust its head inside and
began 10 drink liquor. Il was allowed
10 drink its fiji again, after which il
was killed. Birmingham (Ala.) Age.

Wounded Eagle.

A wounded or enraged eagle is an
ugly antagonist. L. c. Brinkman, of
Burlington, had an encounter with a
wounded eagle not long ago, which he
does not care 10 repeat. While hunt
ing, he fired at the eagle and broke the
birds wing, but did not otherwise in
jure il.
Expecting TO make an easy capture
Of his prize, he went forward. To his
surprise, the eagle few at his face,
and had he not warded it off with his
arm, his eyes would have been put
out by the savage bird. AS il was, il
gripped his arm, and, despite his eff
forts TO free himself, he could not
shake the eagle of.
II struck Mt him with its sound
wing, dug. its sharp talons through
his clothing into his arm, aud used its
beak most viciously. He called 10 his
friends, a short distance away. They
came and killed the bird, and then
pricd its claws out Of the flesh of his
forearm and leg, which was badly la
cerated.
Mr.. Brinkman's wounds wereq quite
serious. He will Dear the scars for
many a day.-Youth's Companion.

Queer Troea.

Among the queer things in Connec-
ticut are its trees. Up in Middletown
il was necessary 10 cut down a tree in
the rear of Outings cigar store. Sew
eral bricks were found imbedded in
the roots, so that only the corners were
visible.
Over in Cobalt a large and particu-
larly straight tree was felled and drawn
to the sawlnill. After starting the saw
the attendant heard a grating of the
saw teeth, and stopped the mill. He
tried another cut, but again the graf
ing sound was heard, and he had to
shut down again. Several further at
tempts to saw the length of the log
proving futile the trunk was sawed
across, and an old log chain and a
dozen harrow teeth were discovered
imbedded in the hard grained wood.
In Westfield a bowlder weighing
over half a ton is to be seen about ten
feet from the ground in the crotch Of an
enormously apple tree, and old residents
say that they can remember when that
bowlder could be sat upon, SO neal 10
the ground was it when they were
young.
A Saybrook farmer tells the story
about his hanging his scythe in a
maple tree several years ago. after a
days moving. The scythe was left
there all winter and the next summer,
until the time for having came around
again. On going TO get the scythe he
found the blade so deeply imbedded in
the soft bark Of the maple rs to be i'm.
movable, and he let it remain. The
tree is still standing in the front yard
of a fashionable residence in that vii.
lage, and from each side of the trunk
project two arms, forming a letter T,
apparently part of the tree themselves.

The Wise Men sf Lagos.

Once, upon q great festival, the
town council Of lagos went TO the
parish church to hear mass. And all
the members Of the council We're
dressed in seemly state in black. coats
and tight black trousers and flowing
cloaks, and each wore a wide brimmed
hat Of black felt, over which a feather
gallantly curled. For their comfort a
leather covered bench was placed be-
fore the chancel rail. And when they
came 10 sit, each man, in the order Of
his dignity, sat down upon the bench
and placed beside him his hat But
when six Of the twelve councillors
were seated the bench was full. Then
a whispered conference was held, and
il wS decided that the bench must
be stretched. So six of them took hold
Of one end and the other six took hold
of the other end, and they pulled
hard. Then they came to sit again.
And now the first councillor put his
hat beneath the bench, and the second
did likewise, and so did they all. And
they all in comfort sat down-by
which they knew that they had sufli.
ciently stretched the bench.
Being thus seated the first councillor
crossed his right leg over his left leg,
and so did the second councillor, and
so did they all. But when came the
time in the mass when all must rise
not one of the councillors could tell
certainly which two of the twenty
four legs were his, for all were clad
in tight black trousers and all were
crossed, And each man looked at the
many legs among which were his
own, and s%orrowfully wondered if he
ever should know his own legs among
so many aud so be able to rise and
walk. And while they thus pondered
it fell out that the first councillor was
bitten by a flea tiercely in his rearward
parts. And the first councillor slapped
at the flea, and that he might slap the
better uncrossed his legs. Then the
second councillor knew which were his
legs, and so did the third, and so did
they all. And so they all uncrossed
their legs, and with great thankful
ness arose. -Scribners Magazine.
