Liquor Drinking in Russia.
cincinnati ENQUIRER. |

lClHcllIbbl iAitl!HSi
A gentleman who has been travelling in
Russia lately, and who seems to have had ex-
perience, has this to say of liquor customs
there:
''There is no attempt at regulation, except
that the government police, polizei, keep
sharp eye on vendors of vodki and other in
toxicating drinks The dealer in Russian
whisky is protected by the law and is an
swerable to the law. He dare not make use
of his license to deal in vodki as a blind for
robbery. Such things as you Americans call
dives are utterly unknown there. No man
can be tempted to drunkenness and robbery
while in drunken state without Furnishing
the dealer, which means the deprivation of
his license and q period OF Incarceration In
jail with hard labor, followed, in extreme
cases, with a touch of the knout on his bare
skin. The terror of this punishment makes
each keeper of a vodki shop really conser-
vator of the peace; for as soon IS the liquor
dealer sees that one of his customers is liable
to get violently drunk, he turns him out on
the street. And a man already drunk can
get no more Yodki."
"Blt suppose the drunken man kicks up a
row, what then:"
= He is taken in charge by the police and
down to the station house. His punishment
then follows as matter Of course. No mat
ter whether he be rich or poor, whether he
belongs to the noble or the working class, he
must serve eight hours in the street sweeping
gang. At 6 o'clock in the morning succeed
ing his orgy he has offered to him lump of
bread and glass of whisky. He may OF may
not accept of the proffered municipal hospi-
tality, but when o'clock strikes he has to go
out on the street gang and with broom and
spade make the Nevskoi Pewspekt, or any
otherstreet ne may work on, as clean as a new
| pin"
! "But do they make no difference between
| gentlemen and workmen 4"
! "None whatever; yet there is a difference
+ generally. The gentlemen who are found
/ drunk on the streets at night usually have
black clothes. They are marked on the bacl
with great white Greek cross, cross biz
enough to be seen half square away. Tn
rnoujik, OF workmen class, who, at least il
the summer, are found with their dirty whit
shirts covering their shoulders, are market
with an equally conspicuous black cross
This is the only difference, and if gentlmal
be with white or light colored clothing Oh
him he gets also the black cross. They ar
al classed as drunkards and treated withou
reference to their rank"

The Metropolitan Opera House stage
[Harper's Magazine.l

As the stage is the point of any theatre es-
peciaIly vulnerable to fire, it is of prime i'm
portance to conine to the stage any fire that
may originate there. This is accomplished
not only by making the rest of the house in
combustible, but by converting the stage
itself into flue, inclosed in the brick walls
which rise above the rest Of the house. A
large skyight in the roof Of the stage is
weighted so as to fall open when its
fastenings are removed, and these
fastenings are arranged to give way at a
comparatively low temperature, and thus
open the top of the chimney of which the
walls are the sides and the proscenium open
ing is the hearth. To put out fires which may
arise on the stage, reliance is placed, beyond
the ordinary precautions, upon novel auto
matte appliance. A network of small pipe
is hung above the stage, filed with water
from tank in the roof, and pierced at fire
quent intervals with holes stopped with sof
solder, which melts readily, and drenches tn
stage as from great shower-bath.

THE LAND OF ToNQUIN.
q Perfect System OF Water Carriage
---Beautiful Landscapes, StrixHnsty
Like Egypt.
1Cor. London Standard

Cor. London Standard
There is probably no other country in the
world that possesses so perfect a system OF
water carriage as Tonquin. The Red river,
some fifty miles about Hanoi, branches out
into about twenty different streams, and
thenceforwa1u to the sea these are connected
and sub-connected by network of subsidiary
channels. But, although styled only chan
nels in comparison with the main branches,
they are really navigable rivers, as broad,
most of them, as is the Thames at Richmond.
1t is hasdly an exaggeration to say that
vessel might make her way by compass from
one part of Tonquin to another. Steering
her course, she would find canals and chan
nels always available, AMI leading in the
requisite direction.
Up one of these streams the Rurimaru
steamed in the early morning. She had on
board stores for the army at the front, and
we carried couple of hundred infanterie de
marine. Fine young men they were, and
well behaved, hut not set up in discipline and
soidier-like appearance, according at least TO
English IDEAS The tide was at its lowest ebb,
and our steamer found that there was barely
enough water in the smaller channel which
she first essayed So we went about, and,
descending TO the sea, q half-dozen miles
away, entered one of the other mouths of the
Songkoi, whence issued a stream full half a
mile in width. As the sun rose high III the
heavens, and as the country became visible,
the striking resemblance which Tonquin
bears to Egypt at once became apparent.
There are the same extensive alluvial fats,
intersected everywhere with similar irriga-
ton canals The soil, like that of Egypt, is
formed of deposits from the river which, like
the Nile. yearly overlows its banks, and is
kept within bounds only by an extensive
series of earthworlzs. Then the water, as in
| Egypt, is deep red in color, and possesses the
property, like that OF the Nile, of refertiliz-
ing an exhausted soil.
The landscapes of the two countries are also
strizingly similar AS far as the eye can
reach are clumps Of palms and villages III
Vulnerable, standing out like islands in a sea
of green. The fields for miles are under rice
and there is no more beautiful tint in nature
| than the brilliant verdure CT the humble
paddy The district through which we pad
! died seemed TO swarm with inhabitants
| Everywhere hundreds, even thousands o.
them, were to be seen busily at work in the
| fields; and along the banks OF our canal they
| stood in an endless line-Inep, women anC
children-as they gaped at the passing
steamer. The water the mud, and the naket
men that wallowed in the latter, were all @
the same reddish-yellow tinge. They pos
sessed, each of these, q strictly agriculture
aspect, to which the rich crops beyoa
formed fitting background
