The Favorite Drink Of Old England.

In his annual financial statement to the
house of commons recently Mr.. Goschen,
chancellor of the exchequer of Great
Britain, stated that the revenues Of the
kingdom had exceeded the estimates by
more than G3,O00,0O0 Here is an extract
from his remarks:
The consumption Of alcohol in the past year.
as compared with the previous year, accounted
for an increase In the revenue of no less than
&Lo09,oJO This placed on the government and
on parliament an increasing obligation to deal
with the question of the consumption of alcO-
hohc drinks. (Cneers.) OF all the beverages in
the world, that which showed the greatest iu-
crease of consumption during the year ~vaS rum.
OF this liquor, which was principally consumed in

dr2ulS it was calculated tnat 245 000000 Of drains
We're consumed il 1888, and that that amount
was increased by 100000 drains in the past
year. And as there was also an increase in the
consumption Of wine and an increase Of peg

that an increase OF prosperity still meant in

TEE COUNT AND COUNTESS PAPPENHELM.
future. The world loves lovers, and it
seems to have been love alone that recently
brought Maximilian AIbrecht, Count Pap
penheim, Of Bavaria, and Miss Mary Wister
Wheeler, Of Philadelphia, to the altar.
Both are blessed with health, wealth,
youth and good looks. Across the water
the count possibly may be thought to have
married beneath him, but on this side,
where every American woman is born a
princess, he is simply to be regarded as an
exceedingly lucky Young man. He has
won a beautiful and intelligent girl vino,
by education and breeding, was fitted to
grace as exalted a station as fortune and
her own merits might secure for her.
That the wedding was no brutal CONNER
cial barter, by the terms of which dollars
purchased rank, IS matter for general
congratUlation, and augurs well for the
lifelong happiness of the Count and Count
ess Of Pappeuheim
Because of old world requirements two
ceremonies wero necessary to make the
handsome Bavarian and his winsome
fiancee husband and wife. Mayor Edwin
II. Filter, of Philadelphia, performed the
civil service in the presence of a few wit
milan AIbrecht, aged 80, and when asked
his occupation, said:
Il am member and officer of the Bava-
rian army, Z member OF the Bavarian par
lament and the head Of the house Of Pap
penheim."
Each OF the parties then repeated the
service as it was read by the mayor, and
were pronounced man and wife. The re-
igious ceremony took place the next day
at st. Marks Protestant Episcopal church,
and was viewed by all the members of the
fashionable world who could force their
way into the edifce.
The home of the young couple will be
the family schloss at Ettal, near the en-
trance to the valley OF the Ammer, and
only two miles distant from Ober-Ammer-
gau, famous rs the place where the Passion
Play" is performed once every ten years.
The count is devoted yachtsman and
hunter lie derives the larger portion of
his income from a big brewery His wife
has fortune of over s., 600, 900 in her own
right.

CURIOUS THlBETAN CUSTOMS.

The native wears attached to his belt
number of little brass cones, each of them
containing an exact load of gunpoWder.
The gun used by Thibetan has long
fork attached to it, which is stuck in the
ground for use as rest for the weapon.
Those people of tie country who live on
the greatest elevated plains or steppes dwell
in black tents; but the villagers reside usually
in two-story stone houses, the lower story
being given up to a stable for the cattle.
The Thibetans drink their tea from cup
SHAPED vessel, usually made of wood and
sometimes lined with silver, which is carried
with them. 1t is not only used as their sole
drinking vessel, but also as a dish for solid
food.
Thibet is very cold country, but its in
habitants do not warm themselves by the COZ
sumption of fuel When the weather is chilly
they simply put on more clothes in proportion
as the mercury might fall, if there was Their
mometer to register the temperature BY.
Thibetan garments consist mainly for each
individual Of vOluminous cloak with sleeves
and high collar, under which a shirt is some
times worn. Boots, with soles Of rawhide and
uppers of cloth and cotton, are made for them
in China For rainy days circular cape Of
felt is provided.
The substantial diet is parched barley.
When gentleman OF Thibet feels hungry he
sits down. and taking from leather pouch
portion of barley he mixes little water with
it, and stirring it up into a dough eats it in
that shape Thus hunger is satisfied, and he
goes on his way rejoicing.
In those things that are considered the
pleasures of the table the Thibetan takes no
stock whatever. He doesn't go to the the
atre-there is no such institution in the land
of the llamas. Nor does he indulge in any
other rational enjoyment of civilization,
though he does not scorn what might be
called the primary vices.
Having pounded a portion of the brick tea
in some sort of mortar, the Thibetan house
wife puts it in a large copper vessel and there
permits it to boil over a fire made from dry
manure. The resulting solution she puts into
a queer looking wooden churn, through a
coarse willow basket that serves as a Strainer
To the liquid in the churn, before proceeding
further, she adds portion of butter and
some salt. The mixture is then churned up
in ordinary fashion, and when it is thorough
ly mixed is poured into a teapot Of bronze
Washington Star.
