from Collector of Internal Hovcnuo
Gcrkcr's first annual report, which hns
just been forwarded to Washington
Colonel Qcrker's district embraces tho
counties ol Philadelphia, Delaware,
Chester, Montgomery, Ituoks, llorks,
Lehigh and Schuylkill. A comparison
of tho present report with those of
former years bIiow a steady Increase in
tho manufacture of tho malt liquors
and a decrease in distilled liquors,thero
having been raoro than 500,000 gallons
of distilled liquors made during tho
year ending Juno 30, 1881. Thero is
likewise a steady growtli In tho manu
facture of cigars, snuff and smoking
tobic-co.
There wcro 1,305,079 barrels of beer
nr.d other fermented liquors browed
in the district during tho period named,
for which tho government received in
taxes 81,300,190 55. Averaging 450
glasses to a barrel tho graud" total
reaches 027,785,550, or CO glasses for
cvory man, woman and child In tho
eight counties named. Tho peoplo who
drank this bad to pay $31,389,277 50
for tho pleasure. This is nearly threo
limes ns much money as was paid in
taxes by tho peoplo of Philadelphia
during tho year 1885.
Saloon keepers calculato upon get
ling sixty-live drinks out of a gallon oT
whisky. According to Colonel Gcvk-
er a returns, there was enough liquor
distilled to supply 22,033,705 drinks,
which, at ten cents each, represents an
expenditure of S2.203.870 60 by thoso

Pasteur's Method.
Ever sinco Dr. Mott's return from
Paris, where ho investigated Pasteur's
method of protection, tho experiments
of toe laculty ot tlio instituto havo
been watched with great interest by
tho medical profession. Dr. Mott
broght over with him a rabbit that
had been inoculated by Pasteur. The
animal died on the voyage and tho
spinal marrow was carefully preserved
and used in perpetuating tho disease.
At first tho doctor experienced great
duticullv in securing a regular Be-
queiico of deaths, and it was feared
that tho virus would become exhausted.
But finally ho succeeded in producing
a death daily aud thus procured vi.-us
of graded strength Several boys who
havo been bitten by supposed mad
dogs wittnn tho last month, havo anx
iously waited for the summons to pro
sent themselves at tho Pasteur institute
for innoculation. Tho first was Dr,
Newton, of Jersey City, who presented
his little son, age twelve, who was bit
ten eight or nine days previous by a
dog that is believed to havo been rabid
Dr. Mott, in performing tho operation,
proceeded upon ur. 1'astctirs well
known method. Tho virus was pre
pared by reducing in chicken broth a
small portion of tho poisonous marrow
oi about nttccn days ago. Thoptinc
turo was mado below tho chest, and
the little patient boro tho operation
manfully. Tho innoculation will bo
repeated daily until virus of tho great
est strength has been used, when it is
hoped that all danger of hydrophobia
will havo been averted.
Pension Bills..
Tho Republican members of Con
gress aro losing their tempers over tho
Presidents vetoes. It docs not bo-
come them. Tlioy should bo consider
atu; and more considerate in examining
tho appropriation and other bills for
which they vote. The President
moro caroful. Ho gives time and at
tention to the bills which ho signs aud
to thoso which ho returns unsigned,
lib oxamplo is worthy of imitation by
tho Congressmen who must know that
they aro surrounded by claim agents
who nro working up undeserving cases,
It will not answer for the Republicans
to assail tho X'resideut aud cliargo him
with opposing justice to faithful sol
diers.. lio has Bigned over 500 pen
sion bills during tho session some ot
them, wo foar, based upon falso evi
dunce, aud he has vetoed a hundred
bills that has been worked up by the
claim agents who divided with thoso
for whom they work, aud in his vetoes
ho has given good reasons why tho
bills should not becomo laws, mid why
tho people should not be defrauded m
this way. The peoplo aro with the
President in this good work, and tho
truo soldiers who did their work faith
fully, aro with him too; for they aro
decidedly opposed to lrauds. Hart-
ford Junes.
After a thorough test J. H. Mercer
most positively n6serts that Acker s
English Remedy is tho best medicine
for asthma, croup, coughs, whooping
cough and all lung troubles that can be
found. Ask him about it, for ho fully
guarantees H.
J.II. Mercerwouldespecially rccom
mend to tho ladies Aoker's Dyspepsia
Tablets. As a laxativo they have no
equal. They aro guaranteed to euro
Chronio Constipation, Dyspepsia, and
all diseases arising from a derauged
stomach. With a free uso ol the Tab
lets, Sick Headache is impossible.
Over one million boxes of Acker's
Dyspepsia Tablets sold in tho paBt
twelvo months, purely upon their
merits. Why suffer with Chronio Con
stination. Dvsnensia. Sour Stomach.

Thero aro scores of persons who aro
sintering from some lorm ot blood dis
order or skin disease, such as Scrofula,

J. H. Mercer asserts that Acker's Rlood
Elixir will certainly euro all such dis
eases, including Syphillis and Rheum
atism. Itis net a patent nostrum, but a
scientific preparation, ho guarantees it.
J. H. Morccr wishes to niako an
assertion, which ho cm back with a
positivo guarantee. It is all about
Acker's lilood Elixir. Ho claims for
it superior merits over all other remed
ies of its kind, and guarantees for It a
positive and suro euro for Rheumatism,
Syphillis, aud all blood disorders, it
frees tho skin from spots and disease,
nnd leaves tho comploxion clear.
Ask him about it.
Masonlo Homos.
Wo extract tho following from n
long but strong appeal In tho Now
York Dispatch in boholf of a concen
tration of Masonic charity !
"The world Is full of disaster. Evor
since our first parents partook of tho
forbidden fruit, and felt from tho es
tate of innocency, thero has been evil
on tho track of humanity. Tho legaoy
of Adam to ns is a sad one, but it is an
Inovitablo one. Thero will bo those
upon whom tho hand of misfortuiio has
been very heavily placed, and whoso
lccblc lrames will need tho shelter
of tho stronger. Somo men nro en
dowed with faculties for success i
others, equally blessed with mental
powcrB, meet with disappointed hones
at every turn In tho walks of life.
With them nothing seems to go right.
Every action seems to be a mistake
Tho result of this is that when the
last hour comes thoy lay down tho bur
den in poverty, and leavo bohlnd them
lor tho caro of tho world a helpless
family. And to thoso who havo mot
upon tho level and parted upon tho
sqnaro is often loft tho jewels aye,
priooless jewels of a brother's life.
"lliero is in Masonry at tho present
day a strong feeling, especially in this
country, to show to tho world tho prac
tical part of tho charity that is pro
claimed as its foundation, and'wo hoar
of tho proposed establishment of asy
aims wncro tho Jirotlier, overtaken by
misfortuiio in tho bnttlo of life, may
find shelter and tho kindly care of lov
ing hands; where tho widow, left alono
m tho world, may receive tho protect
ion of loving hearts, and thn orphan,
Keren oi a dctomler, ho clothed and
fed and educated.
"Tneso institutions aro monuments
that will last, when thoso who lay tho
foundation stones havo passed to tho
reward of a well-spent hfo. Too much
praise cannot bo given to tho Brcthron
ot Kentucky, who aro tho first to suc
ceed in exemplifying tho true spirit of
Masonic charity ; to thoso ot Illinois,
who have just put into practical shapo
tho 83I1W noble effort ; to tho craft of
Pennsylvania, who have already a
Home ; (to Missouri, Maryland and
other jurisdictions, who are moving in
tho matter. It will bo our purpose, in
tho futurc,to note tho progress of these
institutions, and bv holding un their
successes, to stimulate others to follow
these noble oxamplcs.
"Tho duty that devolves upon tho
fraternity to provido such institutions
is apparent. Every brother to-day
should bo willing to aid in their estab
lishment. Tho donation to day may
bo returned a thousand fold in tho next
generation. Thoso who aro in pros
perity to-day should remember that ad
versity may come, and the millionaire
of tho present hour may yet bo buried
by charity. How many thousands ot
wrecked fortunes can be found along
tho journov of a singlo life. We
have in mind a brother who a few
years ago was at tho head of a con
cern with about S2,000,000. Ho was
liberal to a fault. Ho gave freely to
ward tho establishment of charitable
institutions. His income was fabulous,
and no ono dreamed that he would
ever bo in want. His proud spirit re
volted at tho mero suggestion. In the
shrinkage of values, in the depression
of business, in mistaken investments
and sanguino expectations, he was
swamped, aud is to-day a penniless,
broken spirited man. His largo fami
ly, proud of their lofty position in so
ciety, whose overy wish and desire, no
matter how extravagant, was gratifiod,
aro now in humble, needy circum
stances, and all this within tho last
five years. So that ho who is in alllu
nnco to-day, may need tho helping
hand of a brother to-morrow. Then,
how wise to provido for tho future,
not only of ourselves, but of those
dearer to us than ourselves.
"And how easily these homes can
bo established if there is united effort.
Tho Stato of New York with its grand
army of Masous, an army that was
thought large enough at tho beginning
to crush out the late rebellion, could
by tho payment of 81 a year for nvo
years, build, equip, and largely endow
an asylum that would be an honor to
tho craft, and bo of untold benefit to
thoso who, by misfortune, had to seek
its shelter. And what is true of Now
York is truo of almost overy other ju
risdiction in tho country.
"Theso asylums shoiid bo scattered
everywhere, that their benign influence
may bo lelt in every Masonic house
hold." Good Ooffeo Easily Made.
It is ono of tho simplest things in
tho world to make a good cup of cof
fee, and this can bo easily accomplished
by applying alittlo common sense. If
you put boiling water on coiTco and
do not let it boil, you have all tho
good qualities preserved. Ono reason
dyspeptics cannot drink colTeo is bo-
causo it is boiled. Tho stylo of coffee
pot is just a matter of fancv. I have
mado as good cofloo in a tomato can
as I havo over sipped from a cup filled
from the finest l'rench cofleo urn. Wo
should tako lessons in this matter from
tho Turks and Arabians, who grind
their coffeo to a fino powder. Whon
tho coffeo is ground as fino as possiblo
put it in a liltlo bag of unbleached
muslin, which should bo tied tighlv
enough to prevent tho escapo of the
grounds. If you use a cup of un
ground coffeo you can mako over a
quart of vory strong, black coffee. In
making coffeo many peoplo sacrifice
flavor for strength. Bitterness comes
from boiling. When n boiling water
is placed on n bag ot ground colteo it
should stand at least threo minutes be
fore serving. Remember tlio longer
it stands the stronger it becomes.

Foaling Horsos.
From tho Popular Science News.
Horses doing full work should bo fed
threo times daily if thoy can bo fed
four times, go much the bettor. Little,
given frequently, Is profcrablo to largo
feeds given at long Intcrvnls. Farm
horses, as a rule, aro watered immedi
ately afterwards. Somo experiments
tried on worthless horses at Alfort, in
Prance, seem to show that tho latter of
theso systems is not tho right ono.
Tho horses in question wcro killed for
dissection after being fed. Thoy wero
first fed and then given water, nnd
afterwards killed and examined. Somo
of Iho grain which they had eaten was
found undigested in tho Intestines,
twenty feet beyond tho stomach. And
tho wasto of food in such cases is not
nil, for a portion of tho material that
is carried along undigested is likely to
havo an inflammatory effect upon tho
mucous membrane. Nor is the plan of
giving a liorso its fill of cold water
just beforo eating altogether free from
objection.
Tho London Agricultural Gazette
says that in Dublin tlio daily ration
for tlio horses of the tramway company
is ten pounds of maize, seven of oats"
and twelvo of hay, with half a pound
of bran. It adds that thoro is power
for work in tlio well fed horso which
is usually wanting in tho under-fed ono
as was well illustrated by Col. Kings
coto in a paper on "'Horso Labor in
Farming," which showed that "whcro
tho horses wcro liberally fed tho plow
ing cost Gs. 8d. per ncro j whereas
with tho teams in poor heart, tho plow
ing cost 10s. Od. per acre,' or nearly
half a dollar more.
Nor must wo fnrrrpt tlint horses vnrv
a good deal in their capacity for food;
and appetite, which depends" on health
and temperament, has as much influ
ence as weight in determining how
much a horso will eat. Wo havo
heard it said that a horso will cat two
per cent of its weight in dry food daily
and at this rato a horse weighing 1,
200 pounds would requiro 21 pounds
daily of provender.
1 ho lato Professor Dick found that
a liorso not working could bo kept in
fair condition on 12 pounds hay and 5
pounds oats ; but, where a good amount
of work had to bo dono it required 14
pounds of hay and 14 pounds. of grain.
iiorses used lor very fast work aro fed
considerably more grain as much as
its pounds, or oven twenty pounds
where thoy aro continuously employed,
and havo to bo kept in primo condi
tion. Crushed or bruised corn is moro nu
trition, and thcreforo moro economical
in liorso feeding, than grain fed whole.
The most conchisivo "experiment on
this subject is that conducted somo
years ago by tho London omnibus com
pany, who nro tho owners of somo
0,000 horses. One-half tho horses
wero confined to bruised oats and cnt
bay and straw, while tho other half
wcro fed on wholo oats and lone hav.
The ration allowed per day to each
liorso on tho first system, was bruised
oats, 10 pounds; cut hav, 7J pounds;
cut straw, 2i pounds. Tho allowanco
on the wholo system was: Unbroised
oats, 19 pounds; nncut hav. 13 pounds.
The money advantage in favor of
bruised oats and cut hay was fully nvo
cents per day for each horse, equal to
5auu per day on the 0,000 horses.
And this saving was accomplished
witnout any sacrihce ot ethciencv. tor
all tho drivers and thoso having charge
of tho horses agreed that the differenco
in tho condition of tho horses was de
cidedly in favor of those fed on
bruised oats and cut hay and straw.
The Crop Outlook.
If ordinary nowspaper readers wero
compelled to accept tho contacting croj:
reports which havo been put forth
within tlio last week or two thero
would bo a great many promising can
didates for tho insane asylums. The
bulls and tho bears in wheat havo been
Hinging conflicting figures at.each other
during that period with a recklessness
that could not bo anything but bewild
ering io the ordinary mortal. For a
timo tho bulls seemed to havo it all
their own way, but within tho last day
or two thero has been a reaction and
prices havo settled raoro or less.
It is too early, of course, to arrivo at
definito conclusions upon this subject,
but thero aro somo general features of
the situation that begin to manifest
themselves more or less clearly. Tho
Rural Nev Yorker, from statistics
based upon over four thousand crop re
ports, figures tlio probablo yield of
winter wheat at 295,000,000, against
212,000,000 bushels last year. It
must bo remembered that this wheat is
past any chanco of serious injury by
dry weather. This leaves tho spring
wneat as tno only really uncertain
quantity. This tho Bamo authority
places at about 140,000,000 cf bushels
as against 115,000,000 last vear. mak
ing tho total wheat crop for tho season
nearly 80,000,000 bushels greater than
last year.
As an offset to this hopeful viow tho
McCormick Reaper Company, of Chi
cago, about a week ago issued a circu.
lar stating that tho condition of spring
wheat had declined in Juno thirteen
per cent, and winter wheat thrcu per
cent., a cnango that would imply a
probablo vield of 405,000.000 bimbols.
or about 50,000,000 greater than last
year Tho Chicago Tribune, in com
menting on the McUormiek estimato
got up an estimate of its own, reducing
tno totals to aiu.uuu.uuu bushols, ns
against 357,000,000 last vear. Ou tho
strength of this last estimate nrices in
Chicago wero forced up from fivo to
ten per cent, ijater reports, however,
Bhow that in the best of tho Dakota
aud Miunesota spring wheat counties
tho drought has not proven so iniurious
as at first reported. Thero is little
doubt that serious injury has been dono
to this crop in Southern Minnesota and
oouiiicm .waKoia as well as in somo
portions of Iowa and Wisconsin. Tho
vinter wheat having shown so good
a condition and being now nast iniurv
by drought, thero is little reason to
doubt that tho total crop will bo con
siderably in excess of last year, oven
if tho worst that has been said of in
jury by drought to tho spring wheat
siioum provo truo.
As to tho other crops, hay is abund
ant and out of tho way of drought
Oats ean bo materially injured yet by
long-continued dry weather. Corn is
a crop that thrives best with plenty of
heat and roots deep enough to stand a
good deal ol drought without serious
injury. Potatoes aro generally best
doui id quality aud quantity ju seasons
that aro moro thau ordinarily dry. On
tlio whole, thereforo, tho probabilities
aro fiat the present will provo moro
than an averago crop year in tho
United States. If this should provo
to uo mo case tno question ot prices
will still bo influenced somewhat by
tho crop condition abroad. That there
will bo enough and to spare for homo
consumption thero can bo no sort of
quoition. That tho foreign demand
will bo largo enough to causo a mater-
ial advance in prices is a matter for
the future to determine. Times.
