The report of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue looks very much as II we
were becoming a nation Of beer drinkers.
the increased consumption OF malt liquors
havins been SO rapid during the last forty
years, In 1860, when the population of
the country was 81 100000, we consumed
only about 100000 barrels of beer. or
an average el one barrel to every sixteen
people. In 1870. with a population Of
3S,5O0,000 we consumed 6.5T4,617 bar
rels of beer, or an average of about one
barrel TO every six people In 1880 the
population had increased 80 per cent, but
the consumption Of beer was doubled, and
80, LOO, 7S3 people consumed 13,347.111
barrels OF beer. In 1890 the consumption
of beer had doubled again, reaching to-
tai of 27,56f, 944 barrels, while the pop,-
lation had increased only "a per cent to
62, 1862, go In 1895. whem, according to
the estimates of the bureau Of statistics,
we had 65,o00,000 people, we consumed
3356l Ill barrels OF beer, or about one
barrel for every two persons in the whole
community, and in 1899, with 100000
people, we CONSUMED 1861 ia barrels
Of beer. Thus the population has increas-
ed 125 per cent and the consumption Of
beer 1900 per cent. The increase in the
manufacture of whisky has not been 50
rapid. In fact. more whisky was pro-
duced in the United States III 1864 than
in 1899. the total ir the former year he
ing $50, 1893 gallons, and IN 1899 35.-
125,532 gallons.

Find a Prehistoric Tusk.

A valuable find was made near the
home of Joseph Carbary at Spring Green,
recently. For several years the family
had seen what was supposed to be root
of tree sticking out OF the mud in the
bottom of Bear creek The other day
while the children were playing about
the creek they put rope around the sup
posed root and hauled it to shore. 1t
proved to be large tusk, evidently of
some animal that lived in those parts in
the prehistoric age. 1t was thirty-seven
inches long. twenty inches in diameter
and weighed forty pounds. Mr.. Carbary
also secured pieces of the other tusk and
