This was done, after due warning given to the Russians, the Tekkes taking care not to fire until the Russians, who had temporarily left their trenches, had returned into them.

THE SAILORS TAKING A NOBLE STAND IN
 THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE,

The cause of temperance is making more satisfactory progress in the British army than in our own, judging by re, cent reports that have shocked the pnb. lie sense. A largely-attended meeting, presided over by the Lord Mayor o1 London, was held the other day at the Mansion House under the auspices oi the British National Temperament League. The object of the meeting was to receive information regarding the progress of temperance in the army and navy. It appeared that in the army temperance branches had been formed in large number of regiments, brigades and depots, some of which were superin- tended by non-commissioned officers. It was estimated that the number of teetotal soldiers in the service was 10000; of these about 5000 were in service in India, where the proportion of temperance men was higher than in Great Britain. The membership of the Soldiers Total Abstinence Association in India included sixty-three officers, chaplains and surgeons. The progress of temperance in the navy was equally satisfactory. When the league entered on its work in 1873 the number of tenn perance branches on board "the Queens Navee was twenty-four, whereas at present almost every commissioned ship in the service had its temperance organization, with registrar and other officials, acting with the full sanction of their commanding officers. So that all these might claim, with Captain Corcoran's remarkable crew, "We're sober men and true, attentive to our duty" Of the 60,000 men in the navy upwards of 1000 were registered ab- stainers, and the officers branch num- bered 159 members. Great attention was devoted to the 4,000 boys in train ing for the service, more than half of whom were pledged abstainers. Ad- miral Sir William King Hall stated that he took "the pledge' about eighteen years ago. He believed that there were now about 10000 abstainers, pledged and unpledged, in the navy. He advo- cated more liberal scale of money allowance for provisions. The Govern ment allowed man so much grog every day. If he chose he could take money instead. The money allowance for two days rum was five farthings; whereas, If he took the rum he could easily sell 1t to one who wanted it for twice or three times that amount.

In a Street Car.

 "Oh, hire 8 hall p answered (appar- entlyl the straw man.
 "Look here, young man, just you pay that fare," again said the driver.
 "Oh, pull down your vest p was the reply,
 The driver wound his reins around the brake, opened the door, and came in, just as the two bad young men left the car. The driver had braced all his muscles for a tremendous effort, and when he seized the supposed offender, he and the dummy rolled in the mud, while mocking laugh rang from the bad young men fleeing around the corner.

The Truthful Gas Meter.

Some time since the Detroit Free Press contained a humorous poem written by poetical machine that grinds out poetry. It depicted man s struggle with gas meter. First he used an ordinary amount of gas and at the end of the month the bill came in for $9.50. The poem has passed into oblivion but it is quite easy to make another just like it. For instance:
 He closed his mansion tightly up
 And hied him off from hence
 But at the months end the bill came in
 For $8.5O
 The gas company seemed to be going on the principle that the amount of gas consumed had no relation to the bill, so the consumer acted accordingly, be- cause next month:
 Day and night the burners blazed
 And he did loudly laugh
 When the gas-man's bill came in the same
 $8,5O.
 This case, or rather one very similar to it, occurred in New York recently. The residents of the aristocratic region of Murray Hill found that the amount of gas used bore no relation to the bills. They reduced the consumption twenty five per cent. But the more they re- duced the bigger became the bills, and there seems little reason to doubt that if they had stopped the use of the gas altOpether the hills wou1d hava rp;pod even people of such wealth. Investi- gation showed that the gas meter differs from mankind the more water it ab- sorbed the more unreliable it became. There was water in the meters, to the amazement of the gas company. It was foun that the meter had falsified he returns and new count was ordered. New meters were. put in and as they are not yet accustomed to their work, they are reasonably truthful so far.
