GERMAN BEER STEMS.
Lnrgcs Imported Ones Hold Eight
Pints and Cost from Thirty
to Fifty Dollars.

Some beer stems are made in this
country, but they do not cut any figure
in the trade, says an exchange. Ger
mans, who are the principal buyers OF
stems, know an imported from a domes-
tic article as a gardener knows his flow
ers. A man who has spent his youth in
Germany, especially if he knows any
thing of the student life, can tell BY
merely glancing at a stein in what part
of the fatherland it was manufactured.
The largest stems imported hold about
eight pints of beer. In Germany they
are used in beer halls p~atronized by uni
versity students at Heidelberg and else
where. In this country the Germans buy
them for presents. The greatest COM
pliment one German can pay another
is to present him with n of these high
" decorated stems, on which is implant-
ed a familiar picture in colored clay OF
his boyhood home, the home of his an
cestors. or some incident in German
history.
Anywhere from $50 to $50 may be
spent on a steir. of this sort. and the

English and Americans present china
and porcelain cups, with the name of the
baby printed thereon in ornate colcred
letters. These small stems, like the
large ones, generally record some Incl
cent IN German literature, and n
times cost almost as much as the big
ones. Two dollars for a small stein Of
this description is a very moderate price
to pay.
All imported stems are porcelain lined.
The cheapest sort, such as are ordinarily
kept on bars in ice packed tubs during
the summer, cost about Is cents each.
There is a heavy duty on them.

Contaeiousness of rheumatism

The idea that rheumatism is con
tagious is gaining ground in Ger
many, and at Leipsic patients are
actually isolated to prevent the spread
OF the disease. The evidence in sup
port of this view Is claimed to be
accumulating. Children become suf-
farers from articular rheumatism a
few days after their parents are at
tackled, and M. Talamon has recorded
the case of a child who had articula.
rheumatism for eight days, and whose
younger sister, sleeping in the same
room, was attacked a few days later
with a rheumatic affection that proved
fatal. Rheumatism often seems to
pass from one to the other of two mar
RED people, many cases of this kind
as when a perfectly healthy man is
taken a few days after n of his
wife's rheumatic attacks-strenethen-
ing the theory of contagion.-Boston
