PORTABLE "BEER POWDER."

An evilfuture is impartially preparing for both the apostles of the Permissive bill and the great public-house interest itself. Science, with i's wonted absence of prejudice, has just dealt each side of the question a knock-down blow. A Frankfort journal reports tbat a chemist of that city has lately given a public.exhibition ol his ability to make deliciousbeer at a moment's notice out of nothing but a small quantity of brownish powder and a pail of water. It is said that certain experts present — some of them brewers themselves —could not distinguish between the beverage thus made on the spot and that drawn from the orthodox cask. The new beer powder can be sold at five-pence an. ounce, and oneounce is sufficient to produce a gallon of beer. At thisrate. a glass of ale will cost about a farthing. And the process is so simple. Take some, pure, cold water, put the powder into it, stir well, and the beer is ready. The inventor, moreover, declares that by a slight change in his ingredients, he can alter the quality of the beer, and produce any kind that may be desired. Shortly, therefore, a great revolution may be expected. With a few grains of Bass in one pocket and a pinch or two of Ind and Coope in the other, the thirsty buf not even bona fide traveller of the future, will calmly make for the nearest pump, and there contentedly drink confusion alike to Sir Wilfred Lawson and to the licensed victualler. —Pall Mall Gazette.
