APerpetual Two Dollar Loan.
The object of such an institution a.
Christmas is to make people happy-and
somehow the undeserving have a capacity
for enjoyment which is rarely found
among the good. Take nv friend Jimmie,
for instance: know what Jimmie would
like for Christmas present, and he shall
have it-when my dream comes true. What
Jimmie wants is perpetual two-dollar loan.
A lump of money would afford him no ner-
manent satisfaction, he would probably
lend it to some other poor sinner and
never get it back. He couldn't understand
wealth, but he knows what it is to want two

THE DISEASES OF ANIMALS.

Reptiles and Birds are Generally More
Afflicted Than Any Other.
London Lancetl
A contemporary states that cancer is re-
ported to have made its appearance in one of
the ponds of the Dundin Acclimatization
Society of New Zealand. American brook
trout only have been attacked, and none of
the fish suffering from cancer have recov-
cred. The statement that the disease has
hitherto been unknown among fish is open
to serious doubt New growths are often
found in animals, especially when they
have been kept long in confinement. The
animals which die in the gardens of the Zoo
logical Society are rarely of much use for
dissection, as they so commonly suffer from
tumors of the bones aud viscera.
Such diseases, probably, also occur in a
state of nature, but would most likely lead
to early death, the animal succumbing in
the struggle for existence. In fish mYxo-
matous and sarcomatous tnmors have been
seen. The fish Platax arthriticus has been
known from the time of Hunter as possess
ing very commonly, if not always, in the
adult dense bony trmors symmetrically dis
posed on many of its bones. Reptiles and
birds appear to be the lower animals that

The queerest beer have ever seen ia tba
famous Berlin product, known as Weiss
bier or white beer, and shall not forget
my first experience with it A man con-
nected with our consulate asked me if
would not have glass and he took me to a
white beer" saloon and ordered a coupIe
of glasses of white beer. A moment later
the waiter brought them. Each glass was
big enough for baby's bath tub and there
seemed to be fully two quarts of beer in it.
It was the color of golden syrup and the
foam which ran over the top was as white
as snow. Each glass was about eight inches
in diameter, and am sure that the con-
tents of mine would have filled the crown
of my plug hat. L had to take nv two
hands to lift the glass to my mouth and I
can't say that liked the beer as well as
our lager or the Bavarisn product The
white beer is largely foam, and it Is not un-
common for the Germans to drink four
quarts of it at a sitting. 1t is not so heavy
as the Bavarian beer and a great deal of it
can be drunken without intoxication. II

quite good deal of it is exported to the

The Waiter Girls of Germany.
A large number of the beer restaurants
here have girls for walters, and, as with tho
barmaids of London, the prettier the girl
the easier she gets an engagement. There is
one noted beer cellar known as the Elysseum
which has about 25 girls in its EMPLOY. rang
ing in age from 16 to % These girls are very
pretty, and you go in and order glass Of
beer or something to eat, and the maiden
who brings it expects to sit down and chat
with you, and she will not at all object if
you ask her to drink or eat with you. Ihavs
taken several meals at the Elysseum, and L
asked one of the girls the other night as to
how she liked her position. She told me she
dld not ike 1t very well, but she could not
help herself Said she:
81 have to drink with any man who asks
me because it means an extra sale for the
house, and this drinking and eating at all
hours OF the day so disarranges my digestive
apparatus that 1t takes away nv appetite.

There are numbers of other places of this
kind in Berlin, of different stages of re-
spectability, and they are largely
by the students and other Young
men about the town. In some of the better

AN IMPORTANT VERDICT.

Judge Ball Decides That Rent Cannot BE
Collected for Traction of "A Month.
A decision was given in the case of
Leonard G.. Van Kleeek VS.. Martha
Byard by Judge Ball at the Municipal
Court this morning.
Martha Byard had for seven years been
a tenant in the house 304 East Ninth
street, which is the property of Mr. Van
kleeck Last March the owner turned
the property over to Thomas r. Lally,
real estate agent, at which time there
was rent due. Mrs. Byard, who had al
ways been prompt in paying the rent, be-
gan 20 get in arrears and on July 81
she removed from the house, and owed at
the time Sill She had rented the house
by the month, beginning on the 18Th day
of each month. Now that she moved on
the 21st of July, the question arose as 10
whether she was liable for rent from
that date TO August i, the day on which
the house was rented to another tenant
In the meantime the amounts of ar
rearages was placed in the hands oi
Constable Brown to collect, who went tC
the wOmans S house and in attempting tC
get at her furniture he used revolver
in order TO scare her. but instead Of
soaring her she attacked him with {
hatchet.
The Judge in his decision said that h'
had summed up the arguments Of thi
state and defence and the law desneC
that the constable in this case was
trespasser and that the woman had
right to defend her property. That tn
arguments presented justified him in dis
missing the case. Harry Emmons, Esq.
was the defendants counsel.

RECENT LITERATURE.

The December number of America s
first magazine, Godeys. formerly Godey's
Lady's Book is as intensely interesting
as ever. A striking feature of this num-
Der is Il complete novel by Julian Haw-
thorne entitled "Brabazon Waring. and
containing all the originality and weird
ness Characteristic Of the writings of this
gifted American author. Though the
impossible and extravagant situations of
this romance are such as aroused the
condemnation of the iconoclsstic Howells,
and which are likely TO cause few of
the latter's ardent and enthusiastic dis
ciples TO weep and rave over
the decay and deterioration of fiction ;
nevertheless. the utter unconventionality
OF one of its woman characters will
strike sympathetic chord in the hearts
OF many persons, of those who dislike
society and all its accompanying super
hcialness, hypocrisy and prudery. The
most fastidious reader will derive
infinite pleasure from the description and
portrayal of the character of Mrs. Antro-
bus. When non-conformity TO the laws
AID customs Of society is combined with
a higher morality originating from pure
motives we have the union of two
traits which, If rare in reality, will
nevertheless recall some faded and lost
ideal in the memory Of more than one
reader.
