He Convinced the Duke.

Stunning manner and ability to grasp
easily the many sided electrical ques-
tions won the honest admiration of the
practical Yankee, whose idea Of an
English duke differed in every way from
the real, live British peer. Upon one
occasion, however, the old domineering
spirit of the duke gained the mastery,
and he paid for the temporary lapse
from republican manners with few
good bruises and q rather severe shak-
ing up of the ducal frame.
The duke was making a tour of in.
spection over one Of the Chicago cable
lines and came across a cable car driver
who was typical Yankee, born and
bred in the state Of Connecticut
"Can you stop the car quickly?"
asked his grace.
II jist reckon ye kin bet yer life I
can, Mr.. Duke"
"How soon:'
"In bout two yards" replied the
Yankee.
"Nonsense" sharply exclaimed his
grace. The next moment the duke was
busy picking himself out of q small
sand bank by the side of the tram line,
into which the abrupt stoppage of the
car had thrown him. As he quietly
brushed himself the Yankee smiled and
remarked: II hope We amt hurt, Mr..
Duke. Guess ye think l kin stop her

Light Beers and Ales in Chile-Consul
Dobbs writes from Valparaiso, May s. 1887:
During the last three years, several con-
signments of light beers have arrived in
Chile from the United States, and have
been disposed of for about one-half their
actual value. There is no market here
for layers or Pisner of either American
or European manufacture, but every now
and then some would-be promoter of Amer
ican goods discovers that he can secure
consignment by convincing some manufac-
turer that he can revolutionize the trade
by having a few dozen bottles as sam
piles. The fact is, the beer made here is
almost as good as either American or
German. and is a little heavier, which
latter reason makes it all the more suited
to the demands of the people. The duty
on foreign beer is 33 cents per half bot
tie, and the price it would have to sell for,
to give any profit would be about 40 cent
avos Q41s cents), while the native beer
sells for from Is to 20 centavos (5A to ~
cents) per half bottle and to ESQ pesos
az to 50 cents) per half dozen bottles. Even
if foreign beer could be sold at the same
price. doubt if there would be any market
for 1t. In regard to ales, the situation is
quite different. American ale would soon
become popular if placed on sale here. A
few experimental consignments from our
manufacturers should at least not result in
total loss, as has been the case with
lager or Pilsner. The duty is 70 cents per
dozen large bottles, two small bottles be-
ing counted as one. No ale is manufac-
tured in the country.
