THEY SUBSCBIB BY THE YEAR.

Beer and Barbering Arranged for a Long; Way Ahead. London Figaro. . —' The keeper of a Berlin beershop or bnunerie has hit up m a novel way of increasing hia business, or, at all events, of temporarily augmenting hie readymoney making. He has announced hia readiness to issue to any customer willing and able to pay down 600 marks (say £3O sterling) a ticket entitling him to call at his bierhalle whenever he likes, and to drink just as much as he pleases whenever he pays it; a visit. To encourage subscribers to come forward, this enterprising publican has also consented to issue season tickets entitling the holder to unlimited drinks for the space of a calendar month for the sum of 60 marks, or about £3.

At a first glance, the notion of being compelled to subscribe to a chiropodist by the year is a somewhat appalling one, but doubtless these annual tickets supply a pressing fvant, and the investment of a guinea in such a way probably adds much more to the investor’s daily happiness than if he paid it away to secure the right to pursue an unlimited number of trasny novels.

Such medicines, if well chosen and seasonably resorted to. are certainly useful, but many persons select the worst, fly from one to the otuer, and bmplov tbem when there is no occasion, or their utility has ceased. To establish on a permanent basis a regular of the towels, the finest alterative is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. It is botanic in origian, and a safe suecedaneum for those objectionable d tugs,calomel and blue pill; it does not gripe or drench the Dowels like the ordinary epacuents, and it not only reforms Irregularity of the habit of body, but remedies disorder and inactivity of the liver and stomach, which nsually aecompsny th»t condition. Rheumatism, kidney trouble malarial complaint and nervousness are removed oy the bitters:
