There are skeptics among beer- drinkers,but this gentleman is open to be called upon to demonstrate the truth of this assertton. He is at present engaged in a place in which, between the hours of noon and midnight, he and another sold nineteen half-barrels of beer. On the basis of the calculation above made, 6,206 glasses were handed over the bar, representing a valuation of $314.80.

San Francisco Chronicle: Ata recent meeting of the Los Angeles county Pomological society Milton Thomas, an experienced fruit-grower, delivered an address on the fruit interests of Cali- fornia, which was full of valuable infor- mation.

What with the tourists who stop to see New York, the residents who come in from the watering places tran- siently, and those people who stay here mroun‘l the summer from choice, {imml- way and Fifth avenue are by no means devoid of feminine entrancement. Less han ten minutes ago I saw A ‘‘TUMULT BUSTLE.” That is something new and atrauge. Until lately every wearer of a big bustle sought to so steady the struc- ture that it wouldn't swiug or hitch when sbe walked. But innovation is the ‘‘tu- mult,” which, ns its name implies, is not o a thing of calm but of agitation. ‘The tapes and wires of this bustle are so ar- ranged that with each step 1t18 wrenched, pulled and tousled by a minature cyclone. “1t is so vivacious, .y dear,” one of the pioneer introducers explained. ‘T'here is something new in fashionable drinks, too, and about as unseasonable as cculd well be imagined. The ton has taken to palque. r Pulque has come to town, and from all ‘ appearunces to stay. An enthusiastic *ournnlis( who spent a few years in Mexico is responsible. When he came home he brought several bottles with him, ana when they were emptied he imported a lot more. His friends like the murky liquid, or thought they ought to like it which is the same thing, and more importations were the resuit. The consequence is that it is now exposed for sale in all rnrtu of the city, Most people have the idea that this national beverage of Mexico 1s deeply intoxicatieg, strong enough to overcome a brandy-soaked inebriate, but the very reverse is the truth, It corresponds nearly to lager beer, and is even highter with regard to the percentage of alcohol. New York- ers have LOTS OF FUN WITH IT, some of them taking it up because they feel they must, some experimentally, others beeanse they really like the stuil. The way it is sold at the soda fountains would make a mustang laugh. They pour about two fingers of the clear, or rather chalky pulque into a glass, and then, tell it not south of the Rio Grande, fill it up with effervescing soda water. It would be just as sensible to serve musty ale in the same way. A scion of a wealthy uptown house had a case sent home the other day to try.

Retailed at 5 cents a glass,and $921,600 have changed hands. The cost of the same to the sa- loon keepers at $8 a barrel would be any quantity and yet always find a ready sale at good prices. But of all the fruits grown in ifornia the fij the greatest future. We should at least supply the demand of the United States. The variety I would advise to grow are the white varieties. There are now an- nually imported from foreign countries vast quantities which we should pro- duce. Mr. Benedict further says that there 18 particularly no limit to the wmount of figs that can be disposcd of at good prices when prepared by crystali- zation, or dried in_ a manner to compare with the imported. The uava, he thinks, will become of great importance when properly cultivated. In the shape of jelly it has largely been in demand amonf epicures, and in this way and 1n the shape of crystalization can be sold at goon profits. These gen- tlemen have experimemted with various fruits and eave succeeded in a way that 18 beautiful to the eye and delicious to the taste.

When we rememcer that in many parts of our country the funda. * mental” work of builaing churches and establishing schools has had to be done during the last generation, we can be measurably satisfied with the progress that has been made, ©An examination of the first table given shows one remarkable fact. Unly one Protestant organization, the Unitarian has more ministers than churches. In all the others the lack of ministers is so ‘iruut as to be_na signal of weakness ane dunger. The Methodist church alone has 17,809, and the Baptist church 10,058 less inisters than churches, while in the whole body the discrepuncy 15 40,435, The number of local preachers and la) readers not counted is doubtless balance by the superannuated and worthless mimsters and those engaged in teaching and other occu 80 that there e 40,000 min- p present needs of the chureh, The legal, medical and editorial professions are over- crowded, but the ministry still affords an open field for young men of ability and learning, That this lack is only a tem- porary one is highly probable.

Still, when a we!l dressed woman, who loudly boasts in a public vehicle of her member- ship and influence in the Women’s Relief Corps, periits herself to use such lau- guage as this: “Get off my lap, you smell worse than a nigger!” and her associates equally well dressed and prusumnbl_‘ members also of the W's.

I was surprised and nauseated, as usual with a strong swell of vile tobacco—1 mean viler than 1 often meet—and won- dered who was breaking the rules of the rocess and the demand is trulyvonder- ul. There was a firm in New York which ordered a sample, and as soon as it was seen and tasted they or- dered every few days by ° tele: graph. A syndicate was formed and they were going to order a car load, but of course Barnard & Benedict were not prepared to fill their order. Their crys- tallized apricots are perfectly splendid in taste, as well as in appearance; also the pear and strawberry, Then the Muscat grapes, when crystallized, are the best and most palatable of any. Icannot in this alliision to the most important indus- try do justice to it. Barnard & Beuedict have orders for the next season from every house that has already received samples. They have alsoanew process for drying apples that makes the product so far superior to the best evaporated ap- ples that there is no comparison, either in appearance or taste. Their jams, jel- lies'and marmalades, and also syrups, are far superior to all others. What is the outlook for pears?, Let uslook at it for a moment. Just see the there is for pearsin the east. Fi pears are far superior, and can be sold in the east some time be&)ra thetr pears are ripe. They can 4lso be picked some time before they are ripe, and will ripen in ten or fifteen days, or about the time they arrive in the eastern markets.

Then they can be crystalized, and there is a 144,000, Besides the beer made in this city and elsewhere 1n this country, several of our leading saloons sell imported beer, the most prominent of these being Kulm- bacher, Pilsner and Kupuziner. These are much heavier than the beers made in this country,the latter being the lighter of the two, while the former is & near ap- proach in taste, thongh not in hardness when fresh, to American porter. The sale of these beverages is not, however, very extensive.. The brewings require a cultivated taste. The beer made in thie city has been wonderfully improved in tne last ten years. Greater facilities have been m- troduced into the breweries for its manu- facture and this improvement and conse- quent increase of business have conduced 10 the success of the enterprising firms. These improvements have been largely stimulated by the incursion of OUTSIDE BREWERS, some of whom ship to this eitga:vhul. may not inaptly be termed the t beer in the world.
