THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The victory Of Germany over France IN 1870"
says Paris correspondent in = Berlin paper. was
emphasized by the wine growers of France IN tho
recent disturbances. Bismarck, Moltke and Room
should have lived to see how few years after the
victory another was by hops and malt for Il
IS certain that II German beer had not invaded
France the situation never would have been posi-
bic. The French people knew beer only TO despiss
X before the peace OF Versailles After that time
It gradually crept into favor. It a bad day for
the FrenChmans traditional aversion for beer when
the report was printed that Napoleon III. in his
forced retreat at WIlhemsh6he had ordered beer.
As beer grew in favor the consumption OF wine be-
came less. In the restaurants where nothing had
ever been sold but wine tables set aside for
beer drinkers. and these have IN many instances
crowded the unconvertabIs TO the wall. The
opalescent absinthe glasses in the boulevard cafes
have been succeeded by mugs of various shades OF
amber. and the who mado tho change are
better for It. There is stiu much wine consumed
in France but It is growing less because OF tho
growing popularity OF beer. and that IS the plth
OF the wine growers troubles
