In the United States.
It is popularity supposed that more beer Is
made, drunk, exported from and kept on hand
in Germany than in any other county In tho
world. but the latest figures show that In re-.
spect to the volume of beer manufactured and
sold Great Britain rather than Germany stands
first, and IL appears, too, that the profits from
the brewing business are greater In England
than in Germany. A statement recently pub
lished among the mortuary statistics of Eng
land showed that the total amount of per.
sonal estate disposed of in seven years by the
Wills OF 119 English brewers was a19. 94S, 1857,
with an average of 9l87. 637 each. In other
words, the average estate Of these brewers was

wealthy men, and some Of them are very
wealthy. as the record of their Investments,
benefactions and expenditures attests very
clearly.
The reason for this opulence. II it'may be 30
described. is not, however. to be found In the
fact that beer brewing of itself Is particularly
profitable. but is due to causes which In Great
Britain. as In the United States. are excep-
tional. A majority OF the veteran English
brewers. as Of the Americans, are men who
thirty or forty years ago began work In a small
way as brewery workmen. and afterward
achieved distinction as the heads of small con
Germs. Beginning about ten years ago in Eng
land and the United states. the business Of
brewing ale, por;er, and lager beer began to be
consolidated and little by little the smaller
output or the larger concerns was increased,
and In a great many cases the former brewery
frms.were succeeded by stock companies, the
capitalization OF which was based to a consid.
cradle extent on "the good viii Of the concern
This good will, the results Of many years Of
labor and of advertising. was turned into cash,
and the brewers were thereby enriched or be-
came possessed of cash resources which men in
other lines OF trade and manufacture had rep
resented CHIEFLY in material, stock. effects. or
real estate.
There are approximately 10000 breweries in
the United Kingdom. and the great majority
Of them, are small concerns, In the United
States there are, approximately. 1000 brew

spirits 10 relatively larger than the consumption
OF beer. 1t is a somewhat peculiar fact that the
Scotch and Irish, dissimilar I'm so many re-
spects, consume exactly the, same per capita
amount Of beer in a year. and that the English
consume exactly double the average OF Irish
men and SCotchmen.

steamboats,, each 90 feet long. By this means
the expedition may split up into two parties.

man as he was. he does not seem TO have ever
taken himself with sufficient seriousness as an
artist to provide himself with any materials
for his art beyond those he used In writing an
ordinary pen and a piece OF notepaper or large
sized copy paper. the corner OF a brief, a bit Of
blotting paper and a lead p~encil-were sufi-
cient to content him, though many an Inferior
artist must have a studio and all the orthodox
paraphernalia belonging thereto.
The sketches themselves should I've seen to DO

simply humorous thoughts and ideas embodied
by pen or pencil with a quickness almost equal
to their conception. Needless to say, they do
not compete in any way with the deliberately
studied present day illustrations OF the comic

earlier. and a freer school. John Iced, and. &C.
