RUSSIAN TEA.HousEs.-The Russian,
in all circles of society, is great tea.
drinker. The tea sold in the tea-houses
is very good, and is favored with
spirits. Three or four pints, with
proportionate quantity Of vodki, will
not seem AN excessive evenings allow
ance for Q sober man. Coffee is never
asked for. In the lower kinds of
houses (where hand-barrel organs dis.
course music) the tea is said to be y
e.brew from the leaves that have been
used by larger establishments, and here
it is customary to serve the tea ready
favored with vodki. 1t makes potent
beverage which will send the glow all
over the body Of cab.man in cold
weather, and make him drive his sleigh
or drosky in wild zigzags, with many
yells. In the tes-houses OF the lower
orders, the shrine of the Virgin stands
Just Within the door, and customer
would think no more Of taking ten
without paying his devotions, than he
would 60 out into the snow without
having his boots on. When he has
well drunk he will make another stand
at the shrine on coming out, and one is
happy to say that, il q customer cannot
remain quite steady on his legs during
his brief prisons, some good Samaritan
will always give his unsteady brother q
helping hand.

A WHALE IN A SouP-PLATE.-Prof.
Trowbridge, in recent lecture, referred
to microscopic fish which lie had dis.
covered swimming about in drop OF
water:
It's method of propulsion was BY the
motion Of the tail, in manner peculiar
to the whale, and 90 far % the observer
could discern, the little fish was very
like an infinitesimal whale. The lee.
turer had calculated that, ct the rate It
was swimming. it could have crossed
Long Island Sound in twenty years,
and It's full.sized prototype would have
made the Same voyage in an hour. In
one hour it might have reached the
farther coast Of . soup-plste.

The Future Life.

Inhis brilliant lecture in Cincinnati,
Last Sunday evening, Colonel Ingersoll
made the following beautiful remark:
II would wish that the friends who
bid us good night in this world might
meet Us with good morning there.
just as long a. we love one another
wen hope for another world; Just q
long q love kisses the lips Of death
will We believe and hope for another
world"
The hope that " springs immortal in
the human breast. +" has not died in his.
Years ago he spoke no thought Of life
beyond this world. But as he nears
the shore of this mysterious ocean, he
cannot cling to the belief that it has no
opposite bound. His gentle heart has
taught him better. That love which
has kissed the lips of his own dead re-
fuses to let him think that he will see
him again no more. As friend after
friend Departs" the human longing
follows them, and teaches even the
atheist that there is loveful world to
come.
We are told that animals know things
by instinct. We may believe that men
and women know things by intuition.
We all know that the idea Of annihila-
ton Is the most repulsive that ever
came into our head. and the one. of all
others, that never comes into our heart.
Among "all sorts and conditions Of
men I'm all culture-in all heathen-
ism, not merely in religion, but in NOR.
tality and manly life, the handspring
of all our being is an unconquerable
hope or dread of future life. The
Christian, the Mahammedan, the
Bhuddist and the heather, all believe
it. And even the annihilist, when his
personal affections make this world
lonely for him, abandons his sophistry,
and cries for the world where he will
again meet his loves. That endless ex-
istence is proven to our heart, if not to
our intellect. That unanswerable still
voice proves that " though worms de-
stroy this body, yet shall I see God. -

Dublin (Ga.) Post There is now
at the almshouse in this county wom-
an about sixty live years of age whose
physical condition is something alto
gether wonderful. Her skull bones for
years have been gradually gaping open
both at the longitudinal and the trans
verse sutures, leaving the brain unpro-
tected save by the skin OF the head.
You may place your finger in the
assures and plainly feel the throbbing
Of the brain. The old lady keeps q
handkerchief bound tightly around her
head, complaining Of graat pain and
dread that 1t will burst open when the
band is removed fer . short time. In
spite of all this she is as cheerful and
nimble as . cricket.

Journal of that city says that when .
schoolboy, twenty-nine years ago,

the accident he was able to walk around

and finally his whole body became
rigid. His fingers and toes are all dis
jointed, the only material joint in his
body being in one thumb. He can use
his hands and ankles little. and his
eyes and tongue fully. Whsn DO

The Gar

The recent report Of the death Of the
Emperor Alexander has brought once
more to public attention the old
story that all the princes of the Ro-
manoff family die ct certain ACE. and
that most Of them have been assassin
ated. It is stated that The present car
is anxious just now for his own safety
on this account. It il said that he has
reached that age, and his weak mind is
troubled BY the remembrance of the
tradition, and also by the awful con.
dition OF things in his empire, where
he is compelled to daily submit to
thousands OF precautions, which act
upon his brain like 30 many swords Of
Damocles.
This. like all other superstitious
stories, is mere nonsense. The Gar
Alexander Second is now sixty.one
years old. Although he does not be-
long to q family famous for longevity,
none OF his ancestors have died at this
particular age. His father, Nicholas
First, died at the age Of fifty.nine,
which is near the age of the present
emperor, but not near enough to
brighten anybody. The brother of
Nicholas. Alexander First, died at the
age Of forty eight. Paul was assassin
ated ct the age of forty.seven. The
grandfather of the present Alexander
was murdered at the age Of thirty two.
His great grandfather, Peter the Great,
was forty -nine years old when he died.
Thus it will be seen that there 10 lit
tie danger of any fatality from disease
to the Gear Alexander. There is less
from assassination, for, although there
are few disafected people in his EN-.
pire, he has gained the popular heart
by his steps toward reform and his ef.
forts to advance the civilization and
comfort of his people. One of the
first acts of his reign was the emanci-
patton of the serfs. Those people hold
his name and person in grateful venera-
ton, a. the negro slave Of tho United
States remembers Abraham Lincoln.
In case of any revolt among the higher
classes, the humble people Of Russia
will form q bulwark round about their
ruler that will protect him from any
foe, no matter how great or influential
he may be.
Alexander is man of great physical
strength, and is in excellent health.
The prospect is that he will live and
reign for many years to come.-Bur-
lington Hawkeye.

Why We Commence Dinner With
Soup.

The rationale of the initial soup has
often been discussed some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive pow.
er, on the theory that so much Euid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices.
But there appears to be no foundation
for this belief. A clear soup, or the
fluid constituents of o puree, disap.
pear almost Immediately after entering
the stomach, being absorbed by the
proper vessels, and in no way interfere
with the gastric juice, which is stored
in its appropriate cells ready for action.
The habit Of commencing dinner with
soup has, without doubt, its origin in
the fact that aliment in this fluid form
in fact, ready digested-soon enters
the blood and rapidly refreshes the
hungry man, who, after considerable
fast and much activity, sits down with
o sense Of exhaustion to commence his
principal meal. In two or three min
utes after he has taken plate Of good
warm consomme, the feeling Of ex-
haustion disappears, and irritability
gives way to the gradually rising sense
Of good fellowship with the circle.
Some persons have the custom of al
laying exhaustion with glass Of sherry
before food-a gastronomic NO less than
q physiological blunder, injuring the
stomach and depraving the palate. The
soup INTRODUCES at once into the system
a small inst4llment OF ready-digested
food. and saves the short period of time
which must be spent by the stomach in
deriving some nutriment from solid
aliment as well as indirectly strength
ening the organ Of digestion itself for
its forthcoming duties.

Don't Do So Any More !"

A charming actress who plays light
parts in one OF our theaters, who is also
an excellent wife and mother, has been
enjoyed by the overwhelming atten-
tions of q young downtown jeweler.
At last his notes and bouquets becom-
ing too frequent, she mentioned the
fact TO her husband, who Immediately
fred up, and threatened to punish the
infatuated youth. A powerful athlete,
he armed himself with q cane OF the
" genus" bludgeon, and left his hotel
the next morning with the avowed in
tention Of giving his rival few blows
and teaching him to mind his own
business. Entering the shop whore he
was employed, he strobe hastily through
and inquired If there was young man
there named H.
"There u.s." said the owner Of the
establishment; che is at the window,
tinkering watches. Mr.. H, you
are wanted"
As the little male Airt arose and con.
fronted the large man, he trembled and
turned pale -,
"Did you send my wife these notes?"
said he, producing some OF the offend
ing billet doux.
"I--I-yes--I did," stammered the
culprit, trembling in every limb. He
saw the weapon, and he thought his
time had come.

dered, big-hearted actor, reaching over
the counter, and patting the poor,

head, "look here hubby, you must not

And he left poor Ito the tender
mercies Of his fellow-clerks.-Golden

PAY AT ONCE" Short reckonings
make long friendships" says the old
adage; SO if you employ workers Of any
sort, pay them promptly. There is Of
ten much unnecessary dissatisfaction in
the minds Of hired laborers because
their wages are not promptly paid: 1t
is unnecessary, because IL could be
easily prevented. Sometimes simple
forgetfulness, sometimes not altogether
excusable neglect. sometimes great
pressure of other business, sometimes
the charms Of pleasure or the attraction
Of good company-causes delay in pay
ing wages. No matter what the cause.
it does not supply the wants Of the poor
man or his family, or prevent his hay.

Love That Does Not Die.

A pathetic story comes to us from
Philadelphia. A man and his wife,
named Pitchard, died in New York Of
the cholera, in 1888. They left two
boys, twins, aged twelve, and q little
daughter, named Ellen. Ellen was
taken by an uncle to the then wilder
ness of the West, and the boys were left
to make their own way in the world.
One of them died. The other, Rich
ard, struggled along manfully for q
livelihood. But he was beset by ter
rible longing for the little sister who
was the only living creature of his kin
in the world. From the day she left
him she had absolutely vanished ont of
his life.
The first money he saved he spent in
sending an advertisement to some
Western papers. But there was no re-
suit. Richard grew up. He prospered
in business, married, and became the
father of family; but in all the forty
years he never forgot little Ellen" or
discontinued his search for her. Twice
q year his advertisements were sent to
the West, first to one section and then
another, in spite of the arguments and
ridicule of his friends.
Last May, an old farmer in Ohio hap
pened to see the advertisement ON q
torn scrap of paper, and thought he
recognized the name of the uncle. The
kind old man made journey of forty
miles to search into the matter, and
finally found Ellen, the mother Of
grown sons and daughters. The brother
and sister, who had parted children,
met after forty years, and half the
county came to share their happiness.
A story still more touching Of the en-
durance of human love is that Of q
mother in West Virginia village, whose
son went out one evening, thirty years
ago, asking her to have supper ready
for him when he should come back.
Whether he was murdered or ran
away to sea, nobody knows. He has
never returned. His mother, now
feeble and white-haired, makes ready
for him every night, places his chair
by the table and waits.
:" He will como some day." she says,
I" and then he viii see that have never
forgotten him."
One cannot but hope that the loving
patience Of the poor waiting heart may
yet be rewarded.
