GOOD BEER THROWN AWAY.
WEARY WiIIies' Should Enter q
United Protest.

At Manchester, writes London
correspondent to the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, brewery has been establish
ed where they make beer of q SUI
perior quality-and then throw every
drop of it away. Just as much pains
are taken in making the beer as it
it were destined like that brewed at
Burton last summer for the table OF
the king himself, but it's inevitable
fate is to be poured into the sewers
with a ruthlessness that would de-
light the heart of Mrs. Nation.
The explanation of the rather sur
prising procedure is that the beer
thus sacrificed is the product OF
sort of school OF brewing run by the
municipality of Manchester. This
provincial city is a progressive place,
and some time ago it decided to start
municipal school of technology, at
which every trade practiced in the
north Of England should be taught
practically.
When the school was opened il
was found that quite a number OF its
students were anxious to learn the
brewing business, SO it was decided
to add model brewery, on small
scale, to the rest of the technical
equipment. When the matter was
referred to the government, however,
the Manchester city fathers were told
that they could not be allowed to
start their miniature brewery unless
they would agree that every particle
of it's output should be destroyed.
And at regular intervals since the
brewery was started an excise in
spector has dropped in to make sure
that there is no mistake about this.
The saddest part Of the whole story
is that experts who have sampled
the beverage made by the municipal
students OF brewing say that it is
firstclasS.

commissioners to revive the ancient
custom OF ringing the curfew nightly.
At Antrim, as at a great many other
towns in Ulster, the curfew was in
former generations rung regularly. !;
but the practice, like that associated
with the maypole, has gradually died
out until now the places where it still
fingers are few and far between. The
action of the commissioners is based
Oh purely sentimental grounds. They
have Simply revived an old custom be-
cause the people like to hear the bell
and are willing to pay for the privil'
eye, as is indicated by the fact that a
sum of money to pay all expenses has
been handed over to the vestry OF the
parish church.

LITTLE SEEDS OF KINDNESS.
How Representative Curtis Came Nea'
Making an Enemy.

How Representative Curtis Came Nea'
Making an Enemy.
Secretary Wilson is receiving nu-
inerous requests from all parts OF the
country for seeds, and is replying to
all of them that congress at this SEES
sion has made no provision for seed
distribution, and there are no seeds
left on hand at the department OF ag-
riculture. Representative Charles
Curtis of Kansas, who was one OF the
contestants in the recent fight for SEN
atorial honors, told a story to-day
about the farmers in connection with
this matter One of his newly elect
ed compeers came to him in great In
dignation. The compeer was rapidly
reaching the conclusion that career
in congress was humiliating sort OF
business. With few words more
fOrcible than elegant, he showed Cur
tbs postal card he had just received.
It's back merely bore this inscription:

ing more, nothing less. There was no
key to the possible code; no accom-
panying diagram to explain the brief
but apparently inexplicable puzzle.
What are you going to do about
it," asked Curtis, smilingly.
do about it? Fold up the postal
very carefully and throw it in the
waste basket of course
Then you can count on losing a
few votes next campaign
"Why?" asked the surprised new
statesman.
Simply" replied Curtis, that that
is an established way for asking for
government seeds You'll get a great
many of them before the time comes
for the annual seeds distribution to
begin, and what such postals mean is
to put the name forwarded on your
list of those to whom you will have
the seeds sent this year out of your
allotment from the agricultural de-
partment.' 1t was a surprise to the
new member. and he went away NUT
tcring at the divers duties Of congress
men, but, nevertheless, his constitu-
ent, Jones, was one of the first to get
the seeds in the ensuing distribution

1T should be open to commerce in ten

cry and from 10000 to 10000 men,
Where are these men to come
from?" was asked.
Principally from Jamaica. The UNI
skilled laborers must necessarily be
negroes, and the negroes of Jamaica
and other British West Indian colo
MES are infinitely superior to those OF
he other islands.
The blacks of Santo Domingo, for
instance, are practically worthless.
l.oafing is q part of their religion. ia
maican negroes are almost immune
from yellow fever, and engineers who
built the Jamaica railway extension in
1886 tell me they are good workmen-
that is, comparatively speaking, of
course.
Yes. forty thousand men may be
more than this labor market can fur
nsh, but in any case do not believe
American negroes should be employed.
The number Of men needed will de-
pend on the amount of machinery.
Owing to the climate, imagine ma
chine will replace hand work wher-
ever possible, even with the cheapest
labor. j should say in any event thirty
thousand would be the minimum"
Mr.. Noble thought the American
>starf in round numbers would comprise
FIVE hundred men. The machinery
will undoubtedly be American.
I'm handling material" continued
Mr.. Noble, Il think Americans are
first. The Chicago drainage canal is
the nest perfect example of canal en-
gineering that has been done up to the
present time.
The French have passed us all in
tunnel work near the surface, as
shown in the new Orleans terminal

City Gardens and Squares.

From theArchitectrral Record.
The problem Of circulation in respect to
the designing of city parks has two ex-
tremeS, each extreme demanding a solution
peculiar to its own requirements. 1t is sell
dom necessary to fuse the two, difficult
to decide which extreme should determine
the character of the design. The two posi-
tions may be defined and treated, respect
lively as a city garden or a city square.
The latter may be defined as a space
wherein pedestrian circulation is of para
mount consideration. and the use of which
Is entirely devoted to the reception and dis
persion Of large and ineessant crowds of
people. The former may be defined as a
space where recreation and lounging are
viOusly their respective requirements are
diverse. The, treatment of the square should
be purely architectural in character 1t Is.
In fact, an evolution from the sidewalk
Any establishment that it may receive
should be monumental in character such
as stone terraces and steps, monuments
and statues arranged in harmony with the
environing buildings and disposed in such
fashion as will not conflict with its pri-
mary usefulness. POSSIBLY, If its area al
lows, a rectangular alignment of shade
trees could be introduced with just suffi-
cient amount of turf at their base to pro-
vide for the necessary physiological needs
of the trees, and incidentally to soften the
harshness arising from the great expanse
of stonework. But the Introduction of turf
or trees should be completely subordinated
to the architectural character of the square
