Brewing In New York.

f. Brewing in New Yorkbegan in 1633 in Bridge street, near Broad; seven ▼ears afterward brandy was made at the same place. Almost at once drunkenness became so fierce in the city that the authorities stopped the tapping of beer daring divine service or after 10 o’clock at night. Whoever offended lost his beer, wss fined, and could hot sell any more for three months. The phraseology of this indictment is rather curious, saying that: “Complaints are made of OhosdTwho tap beer during divine service, and use a small kipd of measure, which is in contempt of our religion and must ruin the state.” Small measure must have been the origin of the present drink, which is poured out under the barkeeper’s eye and carefully noted. The first New York tavern was put up at Coen ties slip in 1642. The first tax imposed on York city beer nearly made a revolution ; informers got one-third of a tun of the beer; the tax receiver got 5 per cent, for his salary. Numerous brewers were then in New York, and they began to howl loudly. Stone street, which runs from Broad to Whitehall, was. at that time called Brouwer straat, or Brewers’ street. This was called Stone street because it was the first in New York to he paved with stones, in the year 1657. A big stone brewery was put up in 1645 at the corner of Broad and Stone streets, and it failed. The early New York brewers were Yon Covenhoven De Forest, the two Bayards (remote uncles of the present United St tes Senator Bayard), and Van Courtiandt. Beer barrels were made here very early by Van Brcesteed, the cooper, whose name has been corrupted to Bristed. William Beekman was the richest brewer in his day, and where his brewery stood the newspaper offices about Beekman street are now planted. Beekman owned the whole swamp where leather is now dressed and sold. In short, brewing extended up the North Kiver as far as the Dutch settled, and Albany had its breweries perhaps even earlier than New York. The early Dutch were a drinking set, and old Newcastle, below Wilmington, was described by very late travelers as showing more traces of breweries and beer times. The Dutch patroons or planters generally reserved the right of manufacturing beer- themselves, but they allowed private persons to brew at home. There remains an order of one of the patroons, dated 1646, expressly forbidding Cornelius Segers “to brew or cause to be brewed or otherwise to manufacture any beer except so much as shall be required by him for his own housekeeping, on pain of forfeiting 25 Carolus guilders, besides the brewed beer,” Iu short, beer brewing at the present time on the island of New York is not as important relatively as it was in colonial days: As Virginia was kept back by the tobacco culture, which discouraged its manufacturers, New York was retarded by the fur trade, which kept the enterprising people on the run into the interior, and made half-Indians of them, where they should have civilized themselves and varied their occupations. The fur trade finally went out with John Jacob Astor. The tobacco trade in Virginia held on to the end of slavery, and then tobacco began to spread over the Northern States, making it of but little profit to grow tobacco in the old fields. Intemperance among the Indians and Dutch settlers got to be so bad about New York in 1676 that distilling was_ forbidden for periods.— Townskend, in New York Tribune.

Marketing in a French-Canadian Town.

It is characteristic of St. Francois and the early hours of the place that the housewife who does not arrive at the village market by 6or half-past 6 in the morning subjects her household to the perils of semi-starvation. The farmers’ wives who bring in the fruit and vegetables and butter and eggs from their farms are all in their places by 5 o'clock, and by 8 many of them are already jogging along on their way homeward. And the market is the chief place for the purchase of edibles in the town of St. Francois. Its supply is meager enough and its customs are primitive. The market-women all ask one price and take another: hence a purchase involves an immense amount of bargaining and chaffering and gesticulating, and the worthy townspeople bid each other good morning, and jostle 1 each other with their market baskets and peer down over each other’s shoulders upon the meager array upon the counters with bustling and curiosity. Berries and vegetables are sold in what the native call “tureens”— a.most vague and elastic term, as a “tureen” appears to an outsider to be anything from a tea-cup to a scrub-pail. You may buy a turren-full of raspberries for 10 cents, or one for a dollar, and you can only give an indefinite guess at the quality you are getting for your money. The supply is very scanty, and poor in quality, too. The tiny wild strawberries. raspberries, and choke-cherries form the bulk of the fruit obtainable in St. Francois. The French-Canadian farmer is a slow and conservative gardener, and many vegetables and fruits which would ripen easily in the olhnate are not cultivated nowadays, simply because his grandfather did not cultivate them before him, and his sluggish brain has not yet awakened to the fact that it would a wise and profitable thing to, raise them. But, if the vegetable nfarket is scanty, the fish market on summer mornings is a sight to behold,from the number of eels which crawl • over and under each other and wriggle along the counters and fall off on the floor, where they lie writhing till the merchant, seeing his wares escaping him, picks them up and stuns them by striking their heads against the wall.— Ex.

The Chinese New Year Flower.

The “water angel plant,” as the name is being interpreted, is thus called because of its manner of growth, its appearance, and its miraculous origin. In China it is found growing in running Water, which keeps the bulbs and the pebbles to which it attaches itself by its roots perfectly clean. When grown here a bowl is filled with clean pebbles, the bulb is placed upon them, and the dish fillM with pure water. This last must be changed every morning, as it is absolutely necessary to keep bulb and pebble free from slime and ‘ other impurities. The bulbs are thus planted about four weeks before the Chinese New Year, and given fresh air and tbmlight. Soon a multitude of white rootlets appear beneath the bulb, and find their way down among and around the pebbles, while a crown of lilv-like green leaves shoots from the top. One can almost see these grow, they stretch up so fast, and then come the buds on a stem, and in a little, almost transparent sheath at first, which opens finally and displays a cluster of blossoms something like the narcissus in shape and size, but pure waxy white, with a crown of gold, and very fragrant.

This event should occur at New Year’s, and then John is happy. He stands near the plant and watches it with loving eyes; he shows it to his acquaintances, and receives their congratulations, and often he cuts off the “ho-ee-far,” or blossom, and sends it as a choice gift to the friend he loves best.— Boston Globe.

Who Discovered the Mississippi?

“C’est bien drole,” as the Frenchman says, to note how writers differ concerning facts about which there should most certainly be no differing in opinion. I note in a pamphlet the statement that “Louis Joliet, in the year 1673, accompanied by Father Marquet e, discovered the Mississippi from Canada." This was in answer to a query as to who discovered that river, but is in reality no answer to the question propounded, De Soto crossed the river at its southern extremity in 1539, and left his bones on its banks, 134 years previous to the "exploration of Peres Joliet and Marquette, a MS. map of whose route is still in existence. But even De Soto was not the first, for in 1520 there existed a map on which was marked the lower part of the “Rio del Espiritu Santo. The first European to traverse the continent from sea to sea was Cabeza de Vaca, of whom Shea very appropriately writes: “He remains m history in a distant twilight as the first European known to have stood on the banks of the Mississippi, and to have launched his boat upon its waters./’ A rare work containing an account of his explorations was sold last spring at a library sale in Rhode Island, but I have lost my note of the title of the work.— Somerville Journal.

How to Split a Sheet of Paper.

Many people who have not seen this donemight think it impossible, but it is not only possible bnt extremely easy, as we shall show, Get a piece of plate glass and place it on a sheet of paper; then let the latter be thoroughly soaked. With care and dexterity the sheet can be split by the top surface being removed. But the best plan is to paste a piece of cloth or strong paper to each side of the sheet to be split. When dry, violently and without hesitation, pull the two pieces asunder, when a part of the sheet will be found to have adhered to one and part to the other. Soften the paste in water and the pieces can be easily removed from the cloth. The process is generally demonstrated as a matter of curiosity, yet it can be utilized in various ways. If we want to paste in a scrap-book a newspaper article printed on both sides of the paper, and possess only one copy, it is very convenient to know how to detach the one side from the other.

A Lunch Novelty.

At a lunch party at the elegant borne of Prof. Swing, in Chicago, a dear little society lady chatted so constantly and so brilliantly that the other guests could neither partake of the feast nor get in a word edgewise themselves. They were delighted, but hungry. At last the Professor, whose eyes had been fixed in a glassy stare on some blanketed oysters, ala Soyer, rose from his chair at the foot of the table and, approaching the guest of honor, he seized an embroidered satin napkin, and, with a dexterous movement, dropped it over the lady’s head and completely shut off the flow of eloquence. “That is the way I serve my canary,” said the Professor, laughingly, “when he sings better than I do.” It is needless to say that the Professor’s happy thought added greatly to the merriment of the occasion and no one was offended, least of all the charming heroine of the occasion.

“Grin and Bear It.”

The following is vouched for by a minister’s wife, and therefore must be so if it isn’t so: A clergyman visiting a toman in a severe illness, asked: “Do you derive any comfort from the instruction of the Bible ?” “Oh, yes, indeed,” was tbe reply. “What particular passage do you rely upon at present ?” asked the minister. “Grin and bear; it,” replied the sufferer. The clergyman departed to look up a concordance. — Oil City Derrick.

fie Streets of Venice.

The st-eets and sidewalks of Venice are decidedly uniqne, both in material and construction. The city is bnilt entirely upon piles, and occupies eighty-two small islands in the lagoon of Venice. One hundred and fifty canals serve as streets for the city, these being crossed by nearly 460 bridges. The Canalazo, or Grand Canal, has a varying breadthjof 1 from 100 to 180 feet, at d divides the citv, by a devious line, into two nearly equal parts. Both sides of this canal are lined with buildings, many of them marble palaces of great magnificence, and so dose to the water’s edge as to be e tered from the gondolas or watercoaches plying in all directions. This canal is spanned by three bridges, two iron structures erected in 1854 and 1858, and the Rialto bridge, built of white marble in 1588-91. The canals' branching off from the Canalazo, and from each other, are much narrower and shorter. The numerous bridges over them are very steep in the center to afford passage for the gondolas beneath them, and render a land circuit of Venice a most fatiguing t »sk. Most of the houses, in addition to their main entrance by water, have another communi ating with a narrow alley or court on the land. These passageways are so narrow and intricate as to render the city a va4 labyrinth, most of them being not more than four feet in width. Thera are two exceptions to these. The first is the street called the Merceria, situated near the center of the city, lined with handsome shops, and so wide that two carriages might pass in it if their drivers were very careful. The other is the Piazza of St. Mark, on the south side of the city, at the entrance of the Grand Canal, a square containing some of the finest public buildings of the city, and lined bv arcades with handsome shops and cases. At right angles to this is the Piazzefta, which runs down to the sea. Many streets are lined with narrow quays, having stairways down to the gondola landings. The city has railway communication with a junction on the mainland by means of a viaduct two miles long, with over 200 arches. The city of Venice is very beautiful, and from a distance presents a very picturesque appearance, the houses all seeming to be afloat upon the water. A company has been formed to substitute steamers for the gondolas of Venice: This will rob the city of a great element of attractiveness as well as poetic association, but will no doubt prove of great. commercial advantage. —lnter Ocean.

Knocked Out by Disease.

The most vigorous physique and adamantine endurance cannot hold oat unaided against climatic and other influences prejudicial to health. No one can persistently breathe vitiated or miasmaticalr, eat unwholesome food, indulge in excess, or toll unceasingly without eventually falling a prey to disease. One of the surest defensive measures against it is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. But potent as this auxiliary of health i/i, It would be preposterous to expect it to maititain a sanitary condition of t.he system if they who seek its aid willfully abandon every other precaution against disease, and thus thwart its operation. Sobriety, the avoidance of exciting cause, are important elements in health maintenance. A regard being had to these, a system fortified by the Bitters will be exempt from malaria, rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation and other maladies.

How Mormon Women May Become Immortal.

“Why do you think the Government should tolerate the practice of polygamy?” asked the reporter. “ Numerous reasons might be advanced,” remarked the elder, “but as our time is limited I will give you a brief statement of our views on that subject. In the first place plural marriage is nowhere condemed by the Bible, and, as yon know, various instances are mentioned of men having several wives. Then it is not generally known that our creed Reaches us that all spirits are born of God and abide in fleshly tabernacles. We are also firm believers in the transmigration of souls. A woman who is not joined to man by nuptial ties need have no hope of future existence. Woman not in this condition is merely flesl*., and her death is spiritual as well as physical. Her only hope of immortality is to partake of that of her husband. The position of a man in the future life depends entirely upon the number of his descendants, and this fact alone is sufficient reason for polygamy. In other words, man’s creative powers form a part of the spirit world, and as the spirit does not dwell within woman, she is without soul, and, therefore, can have no hope of salvation unless connected with man by marriage. This being the case, why should we not be permitted to have more than one wife?”— lnterview with a Mormon Elder.

Recreation for the Aged.

While spending a few days in the country during the month of November, weyvere invited to a Thanksgiving party. Here we met an old man just in his nineties, but stiil in good health and strength for one so aged. He showed us the kin.l of work he was doing to pass away the time, which would otherwise hang heavily on his hands. His granddaughter had taught him how to make aighans from woolen yarns of various colors, and he worked at it whenever he felt like it. We saw seversjl which webe very beautiful. His health, he said, ].vas benefited by the occupation, and he was happy in the thought that he ;.vas not idld- and of np account in the world. —Herald of Health, f 1

The Habit of Haste.

The London Lancet speaks a proper word on “the habit of haste.” It is truly a habit we have fallen into in our large cities to fill every office and perform every service with the nervous energy of one driven to death. Our wealthy merchants of an earlier generation and our successful pastors of long ago accomplished the same work that we do, but with some degree of calmness and deliberation. Daniel Lewis, M. D., writing in the Pulpit Treasury, notes this needless and nervous hurry characterizing the times as a main cause of the prevalent wakefulness of active minds. To sleep more easily at night we must work more judiciously during the day .—Chicago Standard.
