A MYSTERY OF IMPORTED BEER
Ifel Wm iMtwitni, While the Im
ports Are Deerwelof.
- It la regarded by some persona aa
surprising that while the Importations
£ of beer have fallen oft considerably In
the last two years, the consumption of
Imported beer has increased more than
fivefold, aays a New York paper. Where
ten years ago there were, perhaps, a
dosen places in town at which Import
ed beer was sold, there are now, prob
ably, six hundred. It has become, In
fact, a prime necessity In saloons of the
first class to have on draught imported
beer, and the multiplicity of such signs
Is significant of the constantly Increas
ing demand for the beverage. Some sa
loons keep as many as six or seven va
rieties of imported beer; but at the
same time the receipt of barrels In
which it Is contained—It is shipped In
barrels, not kegs—Is constantly falling
off.
The explanation of the matter is one
which can with much greater candor be
given by a consumer than by a dealer
In the imported article. The fact Is
this: Very little of the so-called Im
ported beer sold In New York city sa
loons at present is really imported. It
Is domestic beer of a different kind
from that usually sold, and the differ
ence Is to be found In the use of color
ing matter and in the larger Infusion
of alcobl. It |s alcohol that gives to
Imported beer its strength and which,
at the same time, preserves it during
the ocean voyage and the constant
changes of temperature to which it is
subjected in its transfer over 4,000
miles of land and sea. Genuine im
puneu peer noni irom uermany to
United Staten contains a larger pro
portion of alcohol than the beer sold
and drunk in Germany. The distinctive
mark of American beers Is that they
are what Is called light, of amber color,
and have a bitter taste, supplied in
good beer by the hops. Kaiser beer.
Pilsener beer, and some few other va
rieties of German beer are light, but
the great majority of beers sold in Ger
many are dark, of a reddish-brown
color, somewhat resembling mahogany
In hue. Now many American brewers,
and especially those In the city of New
York, brew two varieties—dark and
light The dark la heavy; the light Is
frothy. The general demand of con
sumerles Is almost universally for light
beer, but the dark has some admirers,
especially among those persons who
like a heavier article, sometimes pre
subscribed for medical use, and resem
bling, to some extent, porter In its nu
tritive properties. This dark beer, the
product of American brewers, costs
usually a little more than the light,
but It costs considerably less than the
imported article with the duty added
to it So in many New York saloons
the eo-called "Imported" beer sold over
counters or at tables is really nothing
more or less than the ordinary Ameri
can dark beef, colored somewhat, and
with alcohol added. Knowledge of this
fact thoroughly explains the apparent
paradox that while the Importations *of
foreign beer have fallen off, the sales
of foreign beer In New York are In
creasing. During the last two years
many American brewers have been ex
tending their trade by the manufacture
of a variety recommended to Invalids
to whom, heretofore, porter has been
prescribed. This variety of domestlo
beer has largely superseded porter, and,
Xi to some extent, ale, and the sale of it
appears to be increasing. It Is brewed
only by very large concerns, however,
and considerable advertising work is
neceesary to get It on the market.

Albert Lund le a carpenter and boards
at the Union Hotel at Deerfield Corners,
says Utica Observer. He was sitting on
the hotel veranda when the storm came
V* up last evening. After one of the
flashes Lund tipped over in his chair
£■* and fell down like one dead. There
were halt a dosen people who witnessed
the occurrence. When they picked him
up Lund was unconscious. For fifteen
minutes he was unable to speak. Peter
Schulte, proprietor of the hotel, walked
him around and resorted to various
measures to bring the young man to
' Ms senses. His efforts were finally sue*
cesstul and Lund was soon able to
describe the sensations he had expert*
enced. He said that they were not al
V together unpleasant The worst sensa
tion was after the effects passed away.
He felt sick at his stomach. Twice be
fore Lund has drawn in his direction
electricity from the clouds, and he be
gins to think that he might properly be
dubbed “the human lightning rod."
On one of the previous occasions he was
dumping a pail of milk into a can. He
and the can were both knocked over.
Another time he was so violently
. shaken that his garments were rent

40 YEARS THE STANDARD,
POX RAISING IN ALASKA,
Hopeful of Realizing Largo Profits
from the Sale of Many Pelts.
Fox farming in Alaska, which has as*
sinned immense proportions, was orig
inated by a Pittsburgher. In 1879
George Wardman was traveling about
the coast in the steamer Rush. He
saw a valuable black fox skin sold for
$200, and conceived the notion that
farming the fox would be profitable.
He got Peach Taylor, Thomas F. Mor
gan and James C. Redpath Interested,
and a company was formed. The gen
tlemen are agents of the Alaska Com
mercial company at St. George.
Morgan suggested as a place for the
experiment the Semedies group of
seventy rocky islets, sixty miles west
of Kodiak, which produced nothing but
sea birds and sea lions, and are unin
habited. At the seal islands of the
Pribyloft group the Alaska Commercial
Company catch 1,000 to 1,600 blue
foxes every winter. The black foxes
are scarce, while the blue fox is not
nearly so valuable.
During the winter of 1880 arrange
ments were made with an agent at Ko
diak to get some black fox cubs. He
secured half a dozen, and while he was
away on business the natives killed the
cubB by klndnesB and by overfeeding
them. No more of the cubs could be
found, and no further effort to carry
out the scheme was made until the sum
mer of 1884, when about twenty blue fox
cubs were caught. They were taken in a
steamer to Unalaska and thence in a
chartered schooner, with a quantity of
seal meat, to the Semedies Islands,
where they were released.
The islands are inaccessible except
In calm weather, which helped the en
terprise, as it kept poachers and Indians
from catching the stock. At first It was
difficult to get any right on the land.
The treasury department, however, ad
dressed a letter to revenue steamers
and the provisional government of
Alaska, to give their protection to the
fox farmers under the law protecting
squatters, and the company has not
been molested in its enterprise.
The foxes eat eggs and catch birds
in the summer. They are also adepts
at killing sea lions, which serve them
for food. They are very intelligent.
They take the eggs in summer and
hide them in the thick moss, which
is like mattresses, and leave them until
they get hungry in winter and can find
nothing else to eat. It they hid the
eggs in the dirt they would be unable
to scratch the frozen ground away from
them in winter, hence the wisdom dis
played in covering them with moss.
The foxes have been watched during
the months of July and August on the
cliffs searching for eggs, and have been
tracked to their hiding places.
The blue fox pelt is valued at $15,
and as seals become scarcer it becomes
more valuable. All attempts to catch
black foxeB have proved failures, as
they are so scarce. Natives are hired
to live on the island and watch the
foxes. The latter are trapped in certain
seasons, killed, and skinned. The car
casses are valueless, as the Indians,
who will eat almost anything, will not
touch the fox meat. The number has
multiplied from twenty cubs to about
6,000 foxes, and they have been trapped
every season since they were large
enough to be of value. Mr. Wardman
sold his Interest to Byron Andrews of
Washington.
