ST. Louis. January "A dispatch from
Milwaukee says: The tremendous drop in
the barley malt product has stirred up the
maltsters and they evince a disposition to
make some interesting disclosures They
freely declare that In many brewcries
barrel of beer is being made with the use
of but a half bushe Of barley malt, while
the German standard for pure beer is
three bushels. The claim Is AS freely made
that corn and chemicals have practically
supplanted barley in the production OF the
beverage of the world
When the attention OF Mr.. August A.
Busch vico president OF the Anheuscr-
Busch Brewing association. was called to
the above article he expressed no surprise
in seeing the dispatch from Milwaukee,
calling attention to the tremendous drop
In the barley malt product, but wondered
why moro had not been said In public
print with reference to the matter Con-
tnuing. he said; I'VE do not nov. nor
have We ever. used corn in the production
OF any of our beers, and We have always
coutended that first-class beer can not he

Largest Brick Building.

very few know it, but it is a fact, y
explained a prominent builder to a re-
porter, THAI the pension office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. 1t has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand it, for as
time passes along there are many things
seen about it that escaped notice when
1t was newer. In all there are over TO-
900, 900 bricks in the building. General
Meigs took liberties with bricks that nc
other architect had ever attempted. He
not only used bricks exclusively for the
building, but he used them in construct
ing the stairs throughout the building.
In the matter Of stair building bricks
have often been used for. the riser, but
the step has always been Of iron, wood,
slate or STONE. In the pension Office both
riser and step are of brick. AS a brick
building, therefore. pure and simple, il
is unique in construction outside Of the
fact that il is the largest exclusively
brick building in the world. Wash

mittee room in the city hall and is a
subject of much unfavorable comment
by historical scholars. The portrait Of
the Rev. Henry Augustus Muhlsnberg
hung for many years in Independence
hall as a tribute to the preacher patriots
services during the Revolution. with his
name beneath it spelled "Henery Muh-

are now visible in the city hall. The
Rev. Henry Augustus Muhlenberg was
one Of the first Lutheran ministers In
this country. On one occasion he carried
q gun into his pulpit at Reading and at
the conclusion of the services invited all
his male pa%rishioners to follow him to
Valley Forge, which they did. DR.. Muh-

A New Insurance Method.

A man who lives in Chaplin street
started down town the other morning
and, as is his custom, stopped in the
corner drug store to buy a cigar. When
he came out, a stylish cart drawn by
two splendid horses wa passing. The
man who was driving it refined in his
horses.
Don't you want to rider" he asked.
The man who was ON his way down
town looked all around, for the other
was a stranger to him, and, he thought,
must be addressing somebody else. No
body else was in sight. The man with
the horses repeated his invitation, and
the Chaplin street man climbed in. The
driver inquired his destination and
offered to take him for a spin before set
ting him down there.
"Smoke?" he asked. The Chaplin
street man said he did, %whereupon a sill
yer mounted cigar case was brought
out. and he was given his choice Of n
of the best cigars he ever smoked. They
talked of this and that, the two Of
them, and presently the business of the
man with the horses came out. He is in
insurance, and of curse the Chaplin
street man is going to insure in his com
pany. 1t was all an advertising scheme
and a very clever one.-Washington

There is no reason why a dromedary
should not be partial to a good cigar.
Most dromedaries. according to a men
agerie proprietor. are particularly fond
of tobacco smoke and can be made to do
almost anything under its influence.
Travellers in Egypt" he asserts,
rely more on tobacco smoke for their
control over these huge beasts than any
thing else When travelling on long jour.
neys, the dro. nedaries are in many cases
required TO travel night and day without
rest, and the beasts are kept up to their
tasks by smoking cigars. The driver
carries a triangular piece Of wood. which
is pierced at one point like a cigar hold
er. This is inserted in the mouth Of the
beast, tho cigar being lit and pressed
into the hole il the same fashion fol
lowed by man.
1.-THE dromedary Immediately closes
its eyes and putfs away through its nos
Srils until the cigar is burned away. y
