Genius for Toys.
Perhaps the most rational class of In

that OF toys. There is no conceivable ar

with pleasure. very pretty Eoton is for

Even Beer Guzzlers Must Stand Amazed
= at the Er0rmous OuanGitr n.

Even Beer GuzZlers Must Stand Amazed
at the Enormous Quantity.
This statement Of the world s produc-
ton of beer for 1894 is prepared from
statistics gathered and published by
Gambrinus, beer organ of Vienna,
Austria. The table shows that there
were ID, 5S1 breweries producing 5, Ill.,
x862,221 gallons Of beer during the year
1894, for which there were consumed
14,213, 4s6, 448 pounds Of malt and l90,-
352, 579 pounds Of hops. What it means:
shat nearly five and half thousand
million gallons Of beer were demanded
last year for the worlds consumption,
is beyond the power of the mind to
conceive. At the average retail rate of
not less than 30 cents a gallon, to
quench its beer thirst the world expend-
ed So, 739, 900, 900 in a single year, rate
of expenditure sufficient, in less than 19
months, to purchase every ounce of the
world s great stock of gold.
This great stock of beer is equivalent
to 5000, 900 barrels or to over 70O,-
900, 900 kegs of the usual size. II these
kegs of beer were placed side by side in
a line about the earth equator, they
would make a continuous pile, seven
kegs deep, around the world. If they
were piled upon wagons, 60 kegs to the
wagon, and each wagon drawn by a
span Of horses, walking at the usual
pace close to the wagon which precedes,
it would require more than two years
end nine months of constant motion
night and day for this beer to be drawn
past given point
Loaded on cars, at 600 kegs to the car
and 40 cars to the train, it would re-
fquire $4,000 trains CT cars to move this
immense quantity Of beer. Let these
trains pass, one train to the mile and 81
the rate of 20 miles an hour, and GO days
of running, night and day, would be re-
quired before all had passed.
If this beer were poured out into q
canal 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep, it
would extend G93 miles, or more than
sufficient to connect New York city with
the capital city Of Columbus, 0.
