How Beer Was Invented.

ssI AGER beer was not an inven-
ton; IL was a discovery
This is how it was done.
said a prominent brewer of Washington
to a Times man the other day. 1.-The
story was handed down from my grand
father to my father. and thence to me:
:. a saddler of the, German town IF
Bamberg sent his apprentice one morn
ing in the Middle Ages for a bottle of
the beer they used in those days-a vile
beer that was drunk as soon as IL was
brewed. The apprentice bought the bot
tie and on the way home with il met
practical joker. The joker said to him:
Your boss is looking for you. He
says you have spoiled three days work
and he is going to haste you with a cart
whip"
AT this news the apprentice was so
scared that he buried the beer under
tree and ran of and enlisted in the
army. He prospered in the army. In
time he became an officer and got the
cross of honor. Then he thought he
would return to his native town.
When. with a long furlough, he drew
near the town he recalled the bottle Of
beer he had buried, and he dismountei
from his charger on reaching the we'll
remembered tree and dug the bottle up
and carried it 10 his former master
'''"You sent me after bottle OF bee-
FIVE years ago. Well, have got it; here
1t is"
The master was overjoyed to see his
pupil, embraced him and opened the bot
tie 10 share its contents with him. Such
excellent beer neither had ever tasted
before. It was like old wine. The mas
ter. as soon as ne learned that il was
burial that bad so much benefited IT,
bought l 900 bottles OF beer, buried them,
and FIVE years later sold them at a great
profit, for everybody that tasted the new
drink loved ii.
In time the secret leaked out. Brew
cries everywhere came 10 know that beer.
by lying. improved. So they all adopted
the new drink lying or lager beer, for
lager means lying. as you know.
I'm past centuries they let beer lie
longer than we do now This is a fast
age, you know"

n URvIvoRS of the famous Light
Brigade" which made the charge
at Balaklava, are not so numer-
Gus as TO be lightly passed by. Two Of
the Gallant Six Hundred" lived for
years within twelve miles of each other
in Venango county, each without knowl-
edge OF the others existence. says a
writer in the "Pittsburg Dispatch"
One of these, William J. whiting,
still lives there in little cottage sur
rounded by an old-fashioned English
flower garden, about a mile from Titus
Vile. He is a fine specimen of man
hood, being able to perform athletic
feats that would tax the strength and
agility of some Of the younger genera
ton.
He was born at weldon Beck. Eng
land. September II, 1888. At the age
of sixteen he entered the army, becon-
ing a member Of the Seventeenth Ian
GERS, afterward known as death and
Glory Boys" He was then six feet tail
and weighed 2o5 pounds.
In October, 1854, the opposing armies
in the Crimea were stationed at Bala-

to give the goats their supper Of oats he
found them in commissions.
He fred angry questions at the en-
these goats?" Nothing but a little
laurel" said a stage hand I'VE saw EN-
nibbnn' at 1t and we just gave EN- a
good feed of it. IT'S cheap enough. you
know. and We thought they'd like it."
Well. you've killed my goats with
your kindness said Dunbar. He tele-
phoned for a veterinary surgeon who de-
clared that he had never studied goat
ology far enough TO know just what 70
do Dunbar was nearly frantic by this
time; he bundled his pets into an am
bulanee and sent them to the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital. where the six of them
died next morning. He had often lost
one member of the troupe. but the whole
half dozen at one shot was a tremendous
blow. A week before he refused 50, 900 for
them and II cost him five hours a day
for eighteen months to train them prop
erly.
A Tedious Undertaking.
Few people realize how tiresome a
thing IL is to train an animal. You viii
sit in the audience at a vaudeville per-
Torrance or a circus and laugh when
the educated pig refuses to pick out the
ace But that's hardly fair 10 the pig or
the pigs trainer. You don't stop TO think
what time he has spent working over
that pig. II you did perhaps you'd ap-
plaud instead of laughing and try TO
make the poor fellow feel easier" said
Colonel Dunbar TO a Times man yester-
day.
1T is comparatively easy to teach a
dog or even a cat; a horse is harder, then
comes monkey and next the pig. A
goat is one of the most sensitive and
laundering animals there is. This makes
it very difficult to teach them a trick.
1t can only be done by unwearying
kindness and a large fund Of patience
How did I come to train goats? 1t was

Sweetness of Morning Air.

NHEMISTS have long ago told us
7 not only what is the exact COM
position of the air. but also
that this composition is practically con-
slant. whether the air be that near the
mountain top or the sea, or from the
country. or of the town. So far. then,
chemistry would not appear to offer
any explanation of the benefit gained
from "a change of air." Similarly. every
one knows the sweetness and freshness
of the early morning air, attractive
properties which disappear as the day
the composition of the early morning
air is not different from that of air at
any other time. says London Lancet
Ii is we'll TO remember. however, that
during the passing of night to day and
of day to night several physical changes
take place. There is a fall in tenn
perature at sunset and rise again at
dawn, and consequently moisture is al
ternately being thrown out and taken
up again, and ii is we'll known that
change of state Is accompanied by cleo
trical phenomena and certain chemical
manifestations also. The formation of
dew has probably, therefore. far more of
dew effects than merely the moistening
of objects with water. Dew is vitaliz-
ing, not entirely because ii is water,
but because it possesses an invigorat-
ing action due partly. at any rate. to
the fact that ii is saturated with oxy-
gen, and il has been stated that during
its formation peroxide of hydrogen and
some ozone are developed.
1t is not improbable that the pecu-
liarly attractive and refreshing quality
which marks the early morning air has
its origin in this way. Certain it is
that the bracing property of the early
morning air wears off as the day ad-
vances, and it is easy to conceive that
this loss Of freshness is due to the
oxygen, ozone, or peroxide of hydrogen
whichever it may be- being used up
The difficulty of inducing grass to -four
ish under a tree in full leaf is we'll
known. and is generally explained by
saying that the tree absorbs the nour-
ishing constituents of the soil or that
ii keeps the sunlight away from the
grass and protects Il from rain. 1t Is
doubtful whether any OF these explana-
tions are true, the real reason most
probably being that the vitalizing dew
cannot form upon the grass Under a
tree, whereas as A rule both rain and
light can reach 1t. Dew is probably
essential 10 the well-being of both plant
and animal to a greater extent than is
known. and the beautiful expression in
the prayer book. Pour upon them the
continual dew of Thy blessing may be
remembered IN this connection.

ization of the brigade, a force of Rus
sian cavalry suddenly issued forth from
behind the guns, fell upon the retreating
remnants and harried them back across
the plain.
The English infantry formed in line
of battle TO check the onslaught of the
Russians and allowed the exhausted few
who had so CALAMITY conducted them
selves TO pass through the lines into
safety. OF the 600 who went into the
charge only 1913 came safely back.
John Wallace, who also participated
in the charge, was born in County An
trim near Belfast, Ireland. When eight
cen years old he entered the Second
Squadron OF the InniskiIlens and was
not only one OF the Light Brigade" but
served through the entire Crimean cam
paign. For many years he was a promi-

member Of the Oil City Oil Exchange.
In 1881 he died at his home in Oil City.
