PURITY OF LAGER BEER.
Christian Heurich's Efforts Crowned
with Deserved Success.

Indorsed BY the Governme'1-Mdh Liquor
Made in Washington O,ItclaSses al It's
ompetitors-Andlyses Conducted by the
Agricultural Department aud The Results.
Modern times have witnessed great improve
ments in the manufacture of malt liquors, and
ct is not necessary to 90 beyond the confines
of the National Capital for practical demon
stration of this statement. Probably there is
not person of mature years residing In Wash
ington who does not know OF the famous
land mark situated at 1928 to 1885 Twentieth
street northwest, and called Heurich's brew
cry. Ample space has been secured for the
purposes of the Christian Heurich Brewing
Company, the capacity Of the plant being 1OO,-
600 barrels per year, with an average daily
production Of about 260 barrels, while 10000
barrels are always on the premises ready for
delivery.
Not a single modern invention or improve
ment has been left untested, and among the
features of the establishment are the best sys-
TENS Of cold stor age, together with two ice
machines, having capacity Of 100 tons. Pass
ing through the premises and noting the supe-
rior character aud extent Of the plant and the
quality of the ingredients used in the manu-
facture Of the beer, no one will be surprised
that so many people look to this house as the
source for their supplies or that the goods
should be held in so high an estimation. Few
brewers have done as much to improve and
maintain the quality of lager beer as Christian
Heurich, and it will be gratifying to his hosts
of customers and friends in this vicinity to,
know the estimation in which he is held by the
Government chemist at the Agricultural De-
partment Some time ago that department
made analyses comprising thirty-two samples
of the different brands and varieties OF beers
of domestic manufacture obtainable in
Washington.
Investigation was made principally with a
view to ascertain the extent and nature OF
their adulteration, il any, and especially the
use OF antiseptic and preservative agents.
Malt liquors, used as samples, were all pur-
chased in this city and included the various
popular brands made at Milwaukee, Cincin-
natl, Philadelphia, New York, which are sold
all over the United States, as well as the prod
ucts Of brewers of Washington and its vicinity.
Some of the samples were obtained from
wholesale dealers, but the majority were pur-
chased in retail saloons and groceries without
statement of the purpose for which they were
intended. Among the samples thus obtained
was bottle of the beer manufactured by
Christian Heurich. on the label being the in
scription darlington Bottling Company" and
on the other ''Heurichs Beer"
An exhaustive analysis was made by the
chemist of the Department, and the results as
summed up by him for the bottle of Airing
IN follows.

Care of Tools.

Tools and implements are damaged more
by rust and exposure to alternate rain and
sunshine than by actual usage. Rain and
dew will rust the bright Journal bearings of
farm implements on one side, perhaps, rem
dering that side rough. Then that side of
the bearing will begin to "eut" or wear
away; and as soon as one side of journal
begins to wear it will wear faster and faster
until the bearing is damaged beyond repair,
requiring the substitution of new jour
nal Rain and dew will expand the wood
work of implements, and soften the grain
of the surface, after which the heat of the
sun will dry and crack the wood, making
numerous small assures for water to enter.
Plow handles and many other parts of
implements that have been bent after they
have been exposed TO the influences of
rain and sunshine lose their desired form
and shape Shovel handles, scythe snaths,
cradle fingers and some other bent portion
of hand tools and horse implements are
often ruined by exposure 10 storms and
sunshine Let it be an infoxibe rule Of
the farm that tools and implements must
not be left outdoors, exposed to the dam
aging influences of wet and dry weather.
Let every helper understand that he must
clean hoes, shovels and spades, wipe the
blades dry, and put them under shelter as
soon as they are not in actual use. A man
will accomplish just as much per day if he
is required to clean his tools and put them
in dry place as he will to throw them
down where they were used last, covered
with dirt, and exposed to the weather.

It's Worry That Kills.
From Harper's Magazine.

1t is not the work, but the worry which
kills There is no tonic for the body like
regular work of the mind, though this is
unfortunately not often appreciated or not
allowed by the physicians to whom anxious
mothers take their growing daughters.
There is nothing so sure to steady the
nerves of the frctful and excitable child as
regular school work in the hands of a real
teacher. Many child who is celebrated
for dangerous fits of temper at home be-
comes entirely transformed under the in.
fluence Of such school till her nearest re-
latives would not recognize her if they
should ever take the time and the trouble
to visit the school-room. do not mean
school-room full of competitive examina-
tions, of ''marks, and of irrelevant induce
ments to make the child commit to memo
ry a mass of unrelated and undigested facts
i mean one where, without any induce
ment but the natural desire for knowledge,
which is all sufficient with any American
child if it be rightly directed, you find
steady and well ordered labor, without
haste, though not without rest, and honest,
thorough, and pleasureable work. We
may learn a lesson from this-for it is no
theory-of the effect of regular work on
our tired nerves, and wise shall we be if
we apply it. Even the most consistent
homeopathic physician could not object to
this kind of tonic, though he would tell
you, and truly, that tonics are worse than
of no use for overworked nerves.

Domestic Snakes.
From the Scientific American.

Rats have multiplied to such degree
in Brazil that the inhabitants rear a GER
tain kind of snake for destroying them.
The Brazilian domestic serpent is the 81
boia, small species of boa, about Il feet
in length, and of the diameter Of mans
arm. Il is sold from 81 to S1.50 in the
markets of Rio Janeiro, Pernambuco, Ba-
hia, etc. This snake, which is entirely
harmless and sluggish in its movements,
passes the entire day asleep at the foot of
the staircase of the house, scarcely deigning
to raise its head at the approach Of visitor
or when strange noise is heard in the
vestibule At nightfall the giboia begins
to hunt, crawling along here and there,
and even penetrating the space about the
ceiling and beneath the flooring. Spring
ing swiftly forward, it seizes the rat by the
nape and crushes its .cervical vertebre.
As serpents rarely eat, even when at liber-
ty, the giboia kills only for the pleasure of
killing. It becomes so accustomed to its
masters house that if carried to distance
it escapes and finds its way back home.
Every house in the warmest provinces
where rats abound owns its goboia, a fix
ture by destination, and the owner of whica
praises its qualities when he wishes to sell
or let his house

FARMERS!

1t is an undisputable fact that the Home
Manufacture of Fertilizer in this county has
reduced the cost of it to the farmer from
three TO five dollars per ton and saved TO
them Thousands of Dollars. Therefore, is
it not wisdom on your part to encourage us
while we are trying to save you money, and
bring you nearer to the manufacturer? We
desire to deal directly with you as possible,
thereby saving to you all extra commissions.
We therefore invite all farmers, farmers
clubs and grange organizations to call ON us
before purchasing elsewhere. We manulac-
ture all of our own brands of goods and
guarantee them as represented. They are
drier, have less acid and moisture than the
usual city mixture and will drill perfectly. We
