Woman in That Business Knew How to Take Cnre of llerHPll in Court. From the Washington Star. The woman was on the stand, and she was a very nice-mannered, respect able woman, who kept a cheap board ing house, and it was the desire of one of her guests to be dishonest thnt had bt ought her to tho court to make him pay his board, "How old did you say you were, mad am'" Inquired tho lawyer, witli no reason on earth, for an elderly land lady is no more anxious to lose a board bill than a young one, "I did not ray, sit," she responded, flushing to the loots of her hair. "Will you be kind enough to say, madam?" "It's none of your business " "Objection sustained," smiled the court. "I'm," said the lawyer, rubbing his chin, ' how much did you say tho amount was the defendant owed you?" "Twenty-five dollars." "And for how long was that'c" "Five weeks." "That's live dollars a week, Isn't It?" "Yes, tlr" "Five weeks nt five dollars a week is twenty-live dollars, I believe you said?" "YeB, sir " Th9 witness was patient, but her temper wns not improved under the strain "Isn't thnt an extravagant price to pay for board In that li-cnltti. mad am"'" Inquired the attorney, severely. "Ho didn't pay it, sir," answered tho woman beginning to tuin The lawyer gave n little start of surprise, then became Indignant nt the very thought of a witness talking like that. "Don't be facetious on the witness stand, mndnm," ho said, assuming a tone of warning. "This Is a serious matter, madam., I have asked If your prices were not exorbitant nnd ou have seen fit to answer lightly, mndnm.

Two intetcstlng supplements nro pub lished with the February number of the Breweis' Journal, tho first, a broad side, showing the sules of malt liquors In the United States for the year 1897 and the ten preceding years, and show ing also tho sales In the principal cities for the same eleven years, the second, an ofllclal dliectory of bi ewers and maltsters In the United States and Canada. From the btoadslde, as condensed In the Sun, it appeals that during the levenue year ending June 30, 1897, the sules of beer and ale amounted to 34, 423,094 barrels, a dectease, Inspite of this great amount, of 1,40.90U batrels fiom the sales in the levenue year 1S9G. New Yotk stands at the head of the states as u brewing state. Duilng 1S97, fiom her blew cries 9,490,132 ban els of ale and beer weie sold, a decrease of 557,217 ban els from the output ot 189G. Pennsjlvanla stood second, with nn output of 3,902,2S0 bairels; Illinois, with 3,244,890 batrels, rame third. Wiscon sin, which has tho largest single brew ery, stands fourth with 2,602,019 bar rels; and then come Ohio, with 2,011, CM; Missouri, with 2,240,477; New Jer sey, with 2,001,029, und Massachusetts, with 1,070,530 ban els. A study of the figures tor eleven yeats shows some tather Interesting changes In tho outputs of tho various fctates In 1SS7 seven states sold moie than 1,000,000 bairelb of malt liquots each, New Yoik, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouil and New Jeisey. Massachusetts joined the list In 1888, nndhe list remained unchanged until 1890 when the last comer dropped out, to come back to stav In 1892 In 1893 the order wns changed to this: New York, Pennsjlvania, Ilinols. Wis consin, Missouil, New Jersey, Massa chusetts, and so It has remained, ex cept in 1S9G when Ohio and Wisconsin changed places, but only for that year. Alaska, which brewed 414 ban els In 1S87, biewed 2,221 in 1897; Aii7ona brews only one-eighth as much now as she did In 18S7; riorlda took up brew ing for the first time last jear and produced 2.4S0 barrels. None of the large brewing state's inct eased its out put last year except Massachusetts, which brewed 90,000 barrels more than In 1890, the others decreased their pro duction by from 150,000 barrels in Penn sylvania to 530,000 In this state. In the twenty-two cities whose beer thlist Is tabulated, only Boston and New Orleans drank more beer In 1897 than In 1S; the thirst of the other twenty was satisfied with fiom 0,300 fewer barrels to 280,000 fev er the larg est decrease being in this city, the smallest in San Francisco. In spite of there losses the beer thirst of tho cities remains very constant or grows ns the population grows For irstance, in 1S87 Albany drank 370,000 barrels of beer- In 1S97, 522,873 barrels; Detroit, 232.S31 In lsS7 nnd 384,901 In 1R97; Mil waukee disposed of 1,215.000 bairels eleven yeats ngo and 2.07t,000 last yeat ; New York "put away" 4,003,000 in 1887 and 4,639,000 in 1S97. It may be noted hero that the sales of malt liquors in Great Biitaln and Ireland amounted to 47,472,46"( Ameri can ban els, a decrease of 52,580 bar rels These two countries still suipass us In brewing The second supplement, the Brewers' Dliectoiy, gives the names and nd dtebses of tho brewers and btewing companies of the United States, with the sales of each. Some intetcstlng facts are to be gleaned from this un pretentious little book. In tho Hist place, no brewery sold more than 1,000, 000 battels last year; only one biewety, Mti'nled in Milwaukee, Mild moie than 900,000 barrels, and only one breweiy, In St. Louis, sold between 800,000 nnd (00,000 barrels. The largest brewery In this city sold between 500 000 nnd 600, 000 barrel". Tho largest biewety in Massachusetts wa3 tot In Boston, but In Worcester. There nt reven brew eries in Alaska, one of which was i-taited during the teventi" year lf00; four In Alabama, and two In Atl.ona.

Trom the Nuw Voik Sun. At the tecent Postal congress atten tion was called to the fact that two thlicls of all the letters which pass through tho postolTlces of the world are written by and sent to people who speak Kngllsh. Thero are substantial ly COO.000,000 persons speaking col loquially one or another of the ten or twelve chief modern languages, nnd of these nbottt 25 "per rent., or 125,000,000 persons, speak L'ngllsh. About 90,000, 000 speak lluislan, 7",000,000 German, 51,000,000 French, 4!,000,000 Spanish, 35, 000,000 Italian, and 12,000,000 Portu guese, nnd the balance Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Ilohomlan, Gaelic, Itoumanlan, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norweglnn. Thus white only one-quarter of those who employ the facilities of the postal departments of civilized governments speak as their native tongue Kngllsh, two-thirds of those who correspond do so In tho Kngllsh language. This situation arises from the fact that so large a share of the commercial business of the vvoild Is done In Kngllsh, even among those who do not speak Kngllsh ns their na tive language. There are, for Instance, mote than 20,000 postolflres In India, the business of which in letters and papeis aggiegates more than 300,000,000 patcels u year, and the business of these ulllces is done chiefly In Kng l.slt, though of India's total population, vi lich is nenily 300,000,000, fewer than 300,000 persons either speak or under stand Kngllsh. Though 90,000,000 speak or understand Russian, the business of the Itusslnn post department is 1 datively small, the number of letters sent throughout the Czat's emplie- amounting to less than one-tenth the number mailed In Great IJrltaln alone, though the popu lation of Gteat lirltaln is considerably less than one-half of the population of Russia In Kuiope. The Southern and Centrnl American countiies In which e'ther Spanish or Poituguese Is spoken do comparatively little postoirtce busi ness, tho total number of letters mailed and collected In a year in all the coun tiies of South and Central America and the West Indies being less than In Aurlralla. Chill and Argentina are, In fact, the only two Soutii Ametican countries In which any Important post al business Is done, and most of the letters tccelved from or sent to foreign countries are not In Spanish, but In Kngllsh, French, German or Italian.
