THE QUALITY OF BEER.
The Government May Adopt Sys-
tenn of Inspection.

''The United States is fast becoming
beer er-drinking country remarked Acting
Attorney General Boyd to a Times reporter
this morning, land it is a healthy sign
for the reason that with AN increased con-
sumption of beer it follows that there will
be a decrease in the use of more ardent
spirits, and hence the people become
more temperate. The fact that our Peo-
pie are cultivating a taste for beer is an
indication that beer is soon to become. and
perhaps it has become. the national drink.
Now, this being true, it strikes me that
it would be a pretty good idea for the
Government to appoint inspectors of beer,
the same as they have in Germany, and
thus by proper safeguards prevent the sale
of an impure article. No honest brewer
will object to having his beer examined
and analyzed by a Government inspector,
and such an inspection would be a guaran
tee to the consumer that the beer is whole
some and pure. Now, in Germany no beer
is allowed to be sold unless it comes up to
the government standard OF purity and
quality. And l believe that if the United
States should adopt similar system ap-
preciable results would follow.
Attorney General are entertained by Off
ciaIs of the Internal Revenue Bureau and
it is not improbable that the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue may make some such
recommendation to the Secretary of the
Treasury for transmission to Congress.
This subject has of late been discussed
by several OF the leading brewers in. this
city. and without exception they are hear
tily in favor of the proposition. They say
that if the Government will establish
standard of purity and quality and give
certificate to the effect that the beer has
met all the requirements of the Govern
ment it will not only increase the consump-
tion of beer in this country, but will give
an impetus to the export trade 1t is also
pointed out that there is less drunkenness
in cities where beer is the chief beverage
than in cities where stronger drink is most
used. There are indications that the mat
ter will be brought to the attention of Con-
gresS early in December.

ton OF affairs at Dawson City. According
to the report the poor mans chance for

have left Dawson for st. Miehaels during
the past month, fully 1,S00 Of them bound
for the Cape Nome gold fields. The fares
TO st. Michaels for second-class passengers
have been reduced to $35 with meals. One
steamer took 235 passengers. some at the
rate of SIS without meals, and yet even at
this low figure there are several hundred
in Dawson who cannot go. On account of
competition on the Upper Yukon, fares to
Seattle are now selling for $45, and to
Lake Bennett at SIS. Some s3,250. 900

Francisco via ST. Miehaels.
It has been proved that only very rich
mines can be worked at a profit without
machinery on account of the high price of
labor and living. Hydraulic mining will
soon have to be adopted. The opportunity
is now open for capitalists to buy claims to
operate with machinery, which will yield
rich returns for the money invested Many
representatives OF English companies are
now looking over the ground, Consul Nc
Cook says "the poor mans chances, so far
as this country is concerned, are gone. In
Alaska many opportunities are still open to
a man Of grit and perseverance. under

An exceedingly interesting antiquarian
find has been made at Kirkintilloch.
While some workmen were engaged in
cleaning the moat at the Peel number OF
ancient stones were unearthed. The at
tention of McGregor Chalmers, of Glas-
gov, was directed to them, and he has now
made an investigation of them, with the
result that he has discovered that some
bear undoubted traces Of Roman archi-
lecture They are distinctly marked by
diagonal lines and other markings peculiar
to Roman artisans, and had been used, it.

in the Antonine wall. Other stones bear
markings. ETC., which show them to be Of
the medieval period, and are believed to
belong to Comyn's Castle, which was de-
molished by King Robert the Bruce. The
burgh commissioners of Kirkintilloch have
resolved to raise private subscriptions in
order to defray the expense of eor?plete
and thorough investigation by experts.

of these finds, think he was probably a
Roman. careful search was made for
coins or weapons or anything that could
give a clew to the period or nationality Of
the skeleton, but nothing was found except
some fints, rudely shaped with some kind
of splitting or chipping implement. The
skeleton must have been where it was
found for many hundreds OF years 1t was
in the heart of chalk hill which had never
been excavated before.
