Standing Treat.

No American custom causes more gen.
| eral surprise and amusement among
travelling foreigners than that which is
known i'll our saloons NJ creating -
consisting III the entertainment of two
or more with refreshment, for which one
volunteers to pay. 1t is pure American
ism MI over the republic it is as CON-
mon rs in Europe il is unknown. There
i probably no minute Of day in the
Year when two or three hundred citizens
81 any large city are not gnzzling some
thing stronger than water ut somebody
e,se's expense.
The casual meeting of two men who
hive never exchanged word together is
II signal for both to instantly exclaim !:
Come, let's have something /" and for
both TO dive aswn into the nearest SUBJ
t,rranean cavity below the sidewalk.
The one who spoke first always insists
upon paying the shot the word
shot being a metaphorical reference
IT, the deadly character Of the contents
usually taken into the stomach. II two
friends meet, the regular thing to say
first il, Lets drink to old times. and
the resident must invariably "treat the
stranger.
If there is anything more absurd than
the habit. we are unable to put our fin
ger upon it. Men do not always treat"
each other to car tickets because they
happen to meet on the same seat. We
never saw man take out his pocket
book on encountering n new acluaint-
ance and say: "Ah, George. delighted
to see YOU! Do take few stamps! It's
my treat!' DO men have mania for
paving each others bills? And is
drinking together more social than
eating together or sleeping together?
A traveller may SO all over the con-
tinent Of Europe. Of Asia, and Of Africa,
without seeing any man except Yam
kee offer to treat, and the Frenchmen
are quite social enough, but when they
turn into cafe 10 sip their wine or
branded coffee tng.thrf, each man paws
for his own. When two Germans long
separated meet, they will be very likely
to embrace aud then turn into an ada
cent beer cellar, sit down and drink and
eat pretzels and chat, but when they
part again each man settles his score
independently. So III Italy. The
Italians are probably merry and gener.
Gus, but each man pays for his own
wine, macaroni and cigars. They
would as soon think Of transferring each
other their washerwoman bills.
The preposterous fashion Of "treat-
ing" is responsible tor the terrible
drunkenness IN America. There would
be little need OF temperance societies
and little work for Good Templars If
this pernicious and insidious habit was
abolished. 1t is, taken all in all, the
most ridiculous the NEST unreasonable
and the most pestilent custom that ever
laid its tyrannical hand on civilization.

WANTS TO KNOW, YOU KNOW.
An Immigrant from Nebraska Pro-
pounds CouUndrum.

The following letter to the editor of
The Portland Standard comes in 80 pat
that We reproduce it here:
l am lately arrived in this city, an
immigrant from the treeless plains of
Nebraska, where | had tired of bnrn-
ing straw for fuel and So concluded to
try that land "where through continu-
oas woods rolls the Oregon" suppos-
ing that wood for firing and fencing
must be plenty. L was strengthened
in this belief by the Tiews 1 had of
the forest-clsd coast from the steamer,
and further evidence was furnished
by my trip up the Columbia to your
city through the continuous woods. ''
After arriving here and looking around.
l climbed to the highest point Of the
hills back of the city, and saw more
woods than ever before in my life; in
fact, the city seemed built in hole in
the woods. which surrounded it on all
sides and stretched away in an IN
broken line as far as the eye could
reach and extending, believe, to the
Arctic circle. [ also remember read
ing in the Standard of house in an
addition to the city being knocked
over by II falling tree, short time
since. When l had rented house l
started out to order some wood, and
what was my astonishment TO find
that it was scarce and / had to visit
several dealers before | could obtain
any dry fir wood and then had to wait
day or two for it to be delivered,
and when at last it did come, the cord
looked to me like about three-Guar-
ters. Since, in visiting friends III diff
ferent parts of the city, tind many of
them burning coal, which, ara in
formed, came from England or Aus
tralia. The last place L called at was
in the outskirts of East Portland,
where the house lay in the shadow of
the primitive forest and the family
were toasting their shins over a fire of
this coal. Now, Mr.. Editor, would
like to know how these things are
thusly, Is the wood worth so much
standing that there is no profit in cut
ting it, or what is the matter anyway.
Yours, etc. NEBRASKA.
We are sorry that we cannot give
Nebraska" the information he de-
sires. This matter concerning which
he inquiries is ''one of the things which
no feller IS expected to find out" Af-
ter time he will become acquainted
with the customs of the country and
when he orders wood or anything else
will learn TO take what is given him
aRd ask no questions for PHYS sake.
