The morning call., 1892-12-18

toners shal get full glasses Of beer and not
foam, and, as an instance OF the economy
of the Germans. there is near the top of
each glass, within about one-eighth of an
inch of the rim, a little cut made with
Tile, and the law provides that the beer
without foam must rise 10 this point. L have
seen ladies and gentlemen grow very angry
and send back their glasses when the foam
reached below this point. and there is no
chance Of making fortune here out Of beer
gas for beer.
Beer is universally used in Berlin at
meals, and il is not an uncommon thing TO
find Ii at the breakfast table. 1t is drank
at all the restaurants, and q German concert
wonid be incomplete without glass or so
to wash the music into your soul. We sit
up late at night here and the average time
OF going to bed is long after 10 O'Clock. 1t
IS safe to say that three-fOurths of the pPo-
pie spend their evenings In the beer gar
dens, and all sorts of societies meet in gar
oens and In saloons and drink beer while
they hold their discussions. The drinking
Is by no means confined to the lowest
classes. and the Kaiser himself Ia said to be
fond OF book beer and to be able to get
away with his full share of the liquid.
Bismarck Is fond. Of beer and he
has restaurant connected with bis
estate at FREDERICKSBURG which is run BY
German girl who has lived some time
~ America and who was resident OF Pitts
onrg. 1 got several glasses of beer here
during my visit TO Bismarck, and the Ger
man maiden told me that Bismarck often
came IN during his walks and took glass
OF peer fresh from the wood. He would
take IL out into the little garden and sit
DOWN at table and sip 1T. and lie would
then come back and take two of these i'm
nense glasses and carry them off to his
mouse. Inc moment l alighted from the
train L saw servant carrying a glass OF
beer up to the old Prince, and Just as was
about TO leave / saw Bismarck's cook and
one OF his servants elinking their glasses
at the gate leading from the grounds to The
saloon. i took kodak picture of them.
and the German girl insisted that I take
another ana put her into it, which / did.
a great deal OF Bavarian beer is drunk
here in Berlin. and Bavaria makes perhaps
the best beer In the world. The Bof Brau
Haus al Munich ships its beer eyeryw here
and Bavaria makes about one-eighth of ali
the beer that is used in Europe. 1t turns
out nearly 9,000.000 barrels of beer eyery
year and it drinks S6,000,0 900 worth of beer
annually. The Bayarians drink more beer
than any other people in the world. Munich
alone consumes in the neighborhood OF
three-Quarters of a million barrels. and the
average Munich man drinks from one to two
quarts daily and all the Bavarian men over
10 average three quarts day. There was
festival not long ago at one of tile Munich
breweries which was attended by 800 per-
sons, ana these guests during that evening
drank GOO gallons IF beer. or about three
quarts and half apiece. The Nuremberg
beer is largely used here, ami the Pilsner
beer is also drunk 10 large extent Berlin
