BREWMASTER DRINKS LITTLE.

Any one contemplating visit brewmaster
win do we'll TO review all the science he has
studied for he will hear little about beer and
probably great deal about diastase. maltose
dextrine and deXtrose. zymase and enzymes and
many other terms little heard OF yet outside the
annals OF the chemical societies. IL the visitor has
any idea that he will be invited frequent drafts
he probably will be soreiy disappointed for the
brewmaster like the tea faster. keep his keen
sense OF taste uncouded. this alone gives him
the final test the success of his experiments.
Consequently the brewmaster drinks little beer
He will take mouthful catch it's favor and then
spit it More than likely the brewmaster will
preach sermon the wisdom of moderation,
bringing to his argument not sentiment, hut facts
of cold physiology and the biological effects of too
much alcohol, though he does not understand why
prohibition always attacks beer, in whieh is only

Some interesting additions to the lore of the

of Pennsylvania Professor Jastrow has set forth,
In Records of the Past" the Importance of the

attention the fact that the augurs Of Rome and
Greece made OF this organ almost exclusively
in their vatcinations by means OF the entrails of
animals
And 1t appears that in one essential the an

was more concerned with what the livers of ami

Of primitive man everywhere and, therefore, since
the gods gave Hfe 1t was supposed that the 1nten-
tons Of the gods could best be told by the shape
and markings of the liver in those animals set
aside for sacrifice. This faith survived through
the civilized period Of the ancient nations, owing
to tho elaborate formula built up by the priests.
Indeed, their system was not unlike tnat OF the
modern chronological professor, In that they hao

iudge by what history has left the average priest
of those times would have been handy man
around abattoir.
Jeus were familiar with hepatoscopy and some
authorities think it probable that in the dim past
tbev practised it. One reason for this suppositon
Is the special injunction repeated many times IN
the Old Testament that tine caul above the liver
he burned at sacrifices not only in sin offerings,
but in peace offerings. This caul was one of the
most important ndices in hepatoscopy and, of
course if it were burned any chance or using IL
for divnation eliminated The ordinance is
repeated tines in the Pentateuch so the fact
is driven home. In Ezekiel xxi, 81 there is the fol-
lowing significant
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting
of the way, at the head the two ways TO use
dvination: he made his arrows bright, he con-
suited with images, he looked in the liver"
But this pseudo-science receives short shrift
here for in verse % the book continues
And 1t shall be unto them false dvination
in their sight. to them that have sworn oaths"
Such would probably be the modern comment
any attempt at hepatoscopy for these be the days
sdered the seat of love. Any who said his
liver had been set a-nutter by fair maids

too much alcohol that his trouble might be
rather incipient cirrhoss than love And for

the gods make known their pleasure, il attracts

United States is practised IN a way only by the
