surpasses roiii'cpUon. This nation swallows
t'liongh e\ery year to make a lake more than

and the amount is so great that it averages
more than forty pallons annually to every
man , woman and child In the country.
There arc ten glasses of beer swallowed in
Herllu to every glass of water , and th
nv ( rape beer glass liero is about six Inches
high and it holds nearly : i quart. Some
GiTiimiis think nothing of drinking several
of those glasses in an evening and there
are thousands of men in this city who drink
two pallons of beer every day of their lives ,

The women drink with the men , thouirh
the.v do not consume the beer in such great
quantities , and babies are given beer to
drink here as soon as they are weaned , and
they drink it to the day of their deaths.

his wife to drink out of the same mug.

filowly by the drinking and there is no
drunkenness.
The beer glasses are of uniform sie , regu
lated by law , and there are half plasses , as
well as the ordinary schooner. The law pro-
vidis that the customers shall got full glasses
of beer and not foam , and as an instance of
the economy of the Hermans there is , near
the top of each glass , within about one-
eighth of an inch of the run , a little
cut made with a Hie , and the law
provides that the beer without foam
must rise to this point. I have

several glasses of beer here during my visit
to llisinarcK , and the German maiden told
me that Hismarck often came hi during his
walks and took a glass of beer fresh from
the wood , lie would take it out into the
little garden and sit down at a table and
sip it , and ho would then come back and
take two of these immense glassesand carry
them off to his house. The moment 1

A great deal of Bavarian beer is drunk
hero in Berlin , and Bavaria makes perhaps
the host beer in the world. The Hot' Bran
Hans at Munich , shins Its beer everywhere
and Bavaria makes about one-eighth of all
the bet r that is used in Kuropo. It turns
out ucarh 11.000,000 barrels of beer every year
and it drinks ifORH,00 , ( ) , ( ) worth of bocr an
nually
The Bavarians drink moro beer than any
other pcoplo in the world. Munich aKine
consumes in tint neighborhood of three-
quarters of a million barrels and the average
Munich man drinks from ono to two quarts
dail.nml all the Bavarian men over HI
nvcittgca three quarts a day.
There was a festival not long ago at ono of
the Munich breweries which was attended
by bH ( ) persons and tht'so guests during tin1
livening drank tVHl gallons of beer , or about
three quarts and a half anioco. The Nurcii-
burg beer Is largely used hero and Iho 1'ils-
ner beer is also drunken to a largo extent ,
lierlin Itself makes excellent beer , and tlu1
hruwcries buth hero and over the rest ol
Germany are rapidly increasing In number
mid In the amount of capital employed.
The stock companies who own the brew-
cries tire making money , and the Kngllsh
capitalists have been in\cbting to a largu
extent In German brewing stock oven an
they have done in Ameriutn slock. By the
way. 1 uml'-rstund that the American brow-
t-rlos bought by the Knglish are paying satis
factory dividends and that their stock Is
considered valuable in Unnlon. I htivuonl )
the figures for IhbS and lbU as to the beci
brewing stock companies hero , but at that
time there. wero'Jll such companies and the.v

worth of bonds , Ono of Ihcso companies
paid u dividend of10 per cent and of tlu
others a large number paid from 0 to 15 pel
cent on their capital stock.
The most of thu beer Is browovl in the win
ter and In BaMirla thu best beer la made between
tween September and the middle of April.

brewers f .iv In jniipurt Ion to the amount

the amount nf malt wlilfh N to be crufhrd
is wrltt < n down and sent to the government.
Hero In North Germany the tax amounts tote
to cents per HKI pmuds on malt and less on
HIP other artlcb s which enter Into the mak
ing of the beer , but in Anstrta-l hmpary the
beer is taxed when It Is In the cooler ,
and thf laws provide that the beer can be
diluted to n certain extent after It has been
measured for taxation.
The queerest lieer I have ever iron Is the
famous Berlin product , known ns Weiss bier
or white beer , and I nhnll not forget my first
experience with It. A man connected with
our consulate asked me If 1 would not have a
glass , and he took me into a "white beer"
saloon. The drinking hall was a large room ,
which was comparatively empty nt the time
1 entered , as It was In the morning. It was
filled with tables and chairs , and we sat
down and ordered a couple of glasses of
vhlto beer. A moment later the waller
fought them. Ijach plass was big enough
nr a baby s bath tub. and there seemed to
> c fully two quarts of beer in It. It was the
'olor ' of golden . irui ] nnd the lo.un
vhicb ran over the top 'was as whllo as
now. liach glass was about eight inches in
'lametcr , and 1 am sure that the contents of
line would have tilled the crown of my
'lup ' hat. I had to take my two hands to
If t the class to my mouth ami 1 can't sty
hal 1 liked iho beer as well as our lager or
he Bavarian product.
Mho whltn beer Is largely foam and It Is
ot uncommon for the Germans to drinlc
'our quarts of it tit a sitting. It is not so
leav.v as the Bavarian beer and a pre.it
leal of It can be drun'.en ' without luto.Mca-
ion. It Is shipped from here all tner GIT-
iinny and quite a stood deal of it is exported
.o thu L'nited Stales.
A large number of the beer restaurants
ere have girls for waiters , nnd. as with the
lartnalds of London , the prettier the girl I lie
iiT she gets an engagement. There is
ne noted beer cellar known as the Kl\sscuiu
vliich has about twenty-live girls in its em-
iloy , ranging in ago from 10 to " . " > . These
iris are very pretty , and you go in andonter
glass of beer or some ! Ming to eat , and the
who brings it expects to sit down
ml chat with you. and .ilio will not at all
bject if jou ask her to drink or eat , with
on.
What ii IVnIIrr Olrl Has to Do.
I have taken several meals at the Klys-
, eum , and I asked one of the girls the other
light as to how she liked her position. Kho
old me she did not like il very well , but she
oiild not help herself. Said she : " 1 have
0 drink with any man who asks mo , be-
. 'ause il means an extra sale for the house ,
nd this drinking and eating at all
tours of the day so disarranges my digestive
ipp.iratus that it takes away my appetite ,
t used to bo they kept us here lill long after
' 2 o'clock , but the laws now provide that wo
, hall close at 11 , and il is not so bad. Our
iVages are about a mark a day and they are
ml enough to support us.1'
There are numbers of other places of this
chid in Berlin" different stapes of re-
ipeolability. and they are largely frequented
ty the students and other young men 'about
In : town. In soineof the better class res
aurants girls are employed as waiters ,
hough the average waiter here is a man in
1 swallowtail coal.
There are more swallowtail coats in Ku
rope to the squaie inch than there are to the
square aero over the rest of the world , and
the majority of these belling to the waiters
Kven llic smallest hotels hero keepl'eii
waiters in full dress , and , in fact , the best
dressed and almost the best looking men
you see in Huropc are the waiters.
Berlin , by the way , is ono of the besl
Iressed cities in Kuropo. 1 don't mean thai
the clothes of the pcoplo are the besl
made. They are not. These Genual
women don't know how to put their clothes
on them , and a German tailor cuts.his coat ?
and pantaloons more like baps than any
thing else. But the clothes of the peoph
are clean and whole , and the eiowd whicl
walks through the Thlcrgarten or along tlu
nisincss streets of lierlin is a prosperous
looking one.
There is a great deal of money here , and.
what is belter , there is a great deal of
'
economy. Kvery cent that'a German
spends hi ; weighs before ho lays it down on
tin ) counter , and be tries to get his money's
worth. After ho has gotten it be sees thai
the product lasts as long as possible , and
them is no wasts in the average German
family.
1 have some friends living here who give
me same instances of German s iving. In
the coo'dng nothing is lost. The crusts of
bread and the stale pieces of the loaf aroused
used as thickening for soup and the waste
paper of the lamil.N is always saved for fuel ,
liven the poach pits and such bones as can
not lie worked over for soup are burned , and
the German stove is much more economical
than our method ol healing. .
I ho Ti-iiton'r , Tnli'iil for Thrill.
These stoves are expensive at the begin
ning. They are made of porcelain , and they
are often from six to eight feet tall , and
from three to six feet square. A very little
fuel suflieos to uarm them , and once
warmed they give out a gentle heat all day
and use about one-third the coal of a base
burner and nothing like the amount of ma
terial consumed by a furnace. There is one
of thesis stoves in each room and a room
whii Ii is not used is never hoatett.
In thu linking of newspapers ills not un
common for half a do/on families to read Hie
same paper and to club together to purchase
it. They have their llxcd houist for reading
It and a journal which costs two cents , may
be read by six families.
The same economy is used as to servants.
The German liuusewlfo alwa.\s expects to
spend part of her day in the kitchen , and the
wives of even well-to-do men do a largo part
of their own work. Girls of the best fami
lies are apprenticed to dressmakers in order
that flieymay know now to make their own
clothes or lo direct their making by sewing
girls.
Servants are not given the same food that
the family eats , and il is customary here to
allow the servant girl 'J1. " cents for her sup
per , and if there are any" extra nlco dishes ,
such as fruit and piescrvcs , on the dinner
table they seldom go down to the kitchen.
The German uil'o measures out everything
lo iho servants , and she thinks she is pay
ing big wages if she pays more than -rl a
week for a hiied girl.
1 visited a big employment agency the
oilier day , where for 1U cents you could get
a servant of almost any kind , and where for
II cents the servant could como and wall for
an employer. It was at the first of the
month aiid there were , 1 Judge , about ! KI
servant girls in it waiting for placts , and
them were perhaps llfty women moving
about among these and looking at their
books of record. Kaeh girl had her bonk
with her. It was the si/.o of the ordinary
patent mcdlclno almanac and It contained
Iho record of the girl's service at the places
where she had worked , 1 looked at olio of
tlio books.
On Iho' lirsl page was her passport , describing -
scribing the girl and telling just how old she
was and where blio.is born and all about
her. On iho back of the book was her name
and the natnru of her employment. Upon
every page was a record of her service and
this was stamped by iho police , showing
that it was correct. The police require
every girl to have such a book and a record
of this kind must bo a reliable one.
\VIIKCH of Servant ( ill-Is.
I asked as to the wages that thu plrls re
ceived and 1 was told that very fair servants
could ho had for from 10 to ir > marks a
month , or from ti r > 0 to : i.7. " > a month , and
that the servants expected to have Sunday
afternoon of every second week to them
selves.
The servants were dressed like servant
girls , and not llko ladles , and they were
good looking , and were in most cases , I
doubt not , far better ihaii girls you could got
for Hvo times their wages in America.
The manager of thu employment agcnci

There is an organization here , known as
the Housewnes union wliii h devotes lln-'f
to the servant girl riuestlon. H has pla.-es
for the training of servants and it ives
prues fur good servants. A pirl who sta.\s
live years at one place receives a pri/e of a
gold pin , which Mates that she is a good
servant , and after she has been ten vears in
the s.imu family she gets 10 marks , or J'.W )

of this time a present of : ' , ( ) marks , or jll.
llisnot uncommon for servants lo bo Iwenty
and thirty years in the same family ; and thu
Housewives union is doin- , ' much to encour
age good service here , and il deals with such
questions as , marketing , as well as with ser
vants wages and servants' work. If prices
or vegetables ami moats rise the mailer is
thoroughly discussed in the association , and
u the women of Ciernmny can lower thorn
they do so.
1 have heard some of the ladies of Wash
ington , wives of senators and cabinet minis
ters , discuss thu question as to whether siu-h
an Institution could not bo organised in the
United Stales. I doubt very much whether
it could , and our servant girls would turn up
their noses at the promise of a little gold pin
as the reward of ten years' hard and faithful
work. KIIAXK U. CAitrn.Nnit. :

renowned slimlm ; evangelist himself Mr.
snatched the brief opportunity
afforded after his song to accord the Huston
Journal an interview.
It is a rare privilege , indeed to meet in
such close and pleasant communion the sweet
singer , whose voice and song had electrilled
Scotland and I-aigland and Ireland , and
whose pathetic and stirring gospel songs had
thrilled the pulse and touched the heart of
countless thousands on both sides of the
Atlantic for moro than a score of years.

With Mr. Sankey , wrote a Scotch critic ,
music is made subset-vent , anil in tunu and
accent is constantly varied so as to put Iho
words most clearly before his audiciue. His
"Spiritual Songs of Ihu CJospel'1 substituted
among us a style of ipnsic to a igreat extent
new in the church of Scotland , w.iiih had
been accustomed only to the use of Ihe
Psalms In choir singing.
Ira David Sankoy , whose sweet singing has
added so mueli to the attractiveness of the
meetings hold by the great evangelists
wherever they have gone , is today a very
pleasant gentleman , whoso freshness , en
ergy and vigor would place him still well
within tlio span of middle life. Ho has a
line physique , broad chest and attractive
face , adorned by an iron-gray moustacheand
side whiskers. His eyes are expressive and
kindly.
Mr. Sankey's voice , in Its crescendo , Is as
striking as of yore , and his clear enuncia
tion UHt ill a marked feature hi his singing.
"Vou want some of my reminiscences of
our work , do youi" ho said , when , nfter an
extended search , a safe haven was found at
last and wo were comfortably seated.
"Well , 1 was born in Kdlnburgh , Pa. , in
St. Lawrence county , In September , 1810. "

"Oh , yes ; quilo near. My falherwasa
banker. Ho was a state senator for upward
of thirteen yeais , and Lincoln appointed him
a collector of internal revenue for some four
largo distiicts in the
Twenty-fourth cougres-
sloiril district. AVe moved to Newcastle , Pa. ,
and I call that my old homo. 1 had a good
homo training , and was brought up In iho 1
Methodist church. I was employed as an j
Internal ruvc-nuo ofllccr , and was in thai position -
sition wiien Mr. Moody called mo.
" 1 had been singing gospel hymns for some
time before thai , having been converted , I
should say , aboul Ihu year IWil. "
"Hy any especially prominent evangelist ,
Mr. Sankey I"
"Oh , no. It was during a regular season
of revival at the Methodist church in New
castle , Pa. I used to slug In the church
meetings , anil was singing la that way be
fore I know Mr. Moody at all. "
"How was it you came together ? "
"Why. you sou that Mr. Moojy , after ho
had made n beginning in this church over on
the hill "
"Ml. Vcrnon church ? "
' Yes. I think so ; if that Is the old church
on the hill. Well , then Mr. Mooly went out
west in tholn'.eivst of Young Men's C'hris-
thn association work. Ho had made no
cuurch connection , and I think it providun-
ti.il in tinlKlit ! of his af terwork that ho did
nut- Well , I was s"iil as a de-legate from
Newcastle to the national convention of the
Young Men's ( . 'hrislian association at In-
dlanapolH , and one morning 1 attended the 0
o'clock prayer mooting. 1 was asked to lead
the singini , ' . 1 did so. At Iho close of the
meeting a gentleman introduced mo to Mr.
D. L. Moody. Ho took mo by the hand and
said :
" 'Whore do yon live ? '
" 1 said , -1 live in Pennsylvania.1
" 'What are. you doing1 ;
" ' 1 am a government ofllcer. '
"Said Mr. Moody : 'I have been looking
for you for the last ci 'lit years. '
"I said , 'what have you been looking for
me for ? '
" ' 1'vo been looking for you to go to Chicago
cage to help mo In my work , ' was his reply.
"Ho was a Christian association speaker ,
and wanted mo to help him in that work , be
cause be believed thai I was of like fepiril
with himself.
" 1 told him that. T couldn't very well re
sign rny positluii as an internal revenue of-
licer , though wo diseusjcd the matter , nor
did I n"o my way clear until I waited for
fully six months. Then wo met , and ho
wanted mo lo try the work , lie believed
that our united force could bo a means of
reaching the pcoplo. M" I I saw then at once
that it was what J be ! , veil to boa call nf
the Lord to give up my work and take up
hinging for the Lord.
"I never thought then that I was to bo an
evangelist no moro than of gnln' , ' lo China.
1 worked four or Hvo months until the city
of Chicago was burned , and wo were com
pletely burned out. I came back to Pennsyl
vania and remained about a month at home ,
tlunl Mr. Moody could linlsh bis tabernacle.
Then I went back with Mr. Moody. In IbTII
wo wont to Kiigland.
"The now American hymns were very fresh
and now to Iho people there. They became
verv popular. So especially wan the solo
sinking all through iho work In I lie old
country.
"It was a new way of teaching the gospel.
Do you know that It was really the peopln of
England that called it 'singing the gospel.1
They used thai term and thu name sinking
evangelist before it was taken up hero.
"Wo opened at York , and at llrst our incut-
ings wore sliiuly attended. Thu people didn't
believe thai wo were tlniro to leach the
gospel and do them good.
"They thought wo were two Yankees from
America who had como out there to try to
overreach them In some way. They didn't
know In Just what. For over a week wo had
small audiunccs. After that they grow big
ger. "
"And you have been with Mr. Moody over
since. Mr. Sankoy ? "
"Oh , yes , and I am with him now lp.'i'd
