How the Moujiks Set Drunk.

Mouiiks are curious when drunk.
They hardly ever quarrel, but become
affectionate and embrace each other.
Their idea Of drinking is to imbibe until
they are quite insensible. When I was
in Russia I had a coachman who once a
month used to come and ask me for
leave to get drunk during two consecE-
tive days. Upon inquiry I found that
only on these conditions would a coach
man remain sober dnring the rest of the
month. Having obtained leave; he
would go to a drinking house; show the
proprietor his money, and state how
long he would remain there. Then he
would sit down at d table with Some
spirits before him. Gradually and sol.
EMMY he would get drunk, place his
arms before him On the table and recline
oh them. Thus he would remain for two
days and nights, the proprietor supply
ing him with more drink whenever he
looked up. His time up, the proprietor
Would drag him outside the house and
set him down in the snow against the
wall, having first filed his cap with
snow. Every charitably disposed brother
coachman passing by would box his
ears. In about half ar hour this disci.
pline would sober him; he would get up,
shake himself together, and resume his
duties. One mans poison is another
mans meat, and SO I suppose that he en-
joyed himself.-London Truth.

Three Distinguished Females.

Two young ladies of Terre Haute
were returning from California. The
parlor car was crowded with passengers.
At a small station a woman in snowy
attire entered and demanded a whole
section. 1t was not to be had, and the
conductor, brakeman, porter and cook,
who seemed to be impressed with the
new passengers Importance, were all
painfully exercised to know where to
put her. The of all this commo-
ton was very blonde, very large, very
richly clothed, and very swell. When
it seemed impossible to get her a whole
section, or even half a one, she turned
to the young ladies and said: 'sWill
you consent to take the upper berth of
your section and let me have the
lower?"
'.Sorry we can't oblige you," replied
one of the pink-cheeked fairies; '.but
really we prefer to keep the lower berth
ourselves"

The Petroleum Fields Of the World.

..Nearly all thu petroleum that goes
into the worlds commerce is produced
in a district OF country about a hundred
and fifty miles long, with a varying
breadth of from one to twenty miles,
lying mainly in the State of Pennsyl-
vania, but tapping over a little on its
northern edge into the State of New
York. This region yielded, in 1881,
26, $50, S13 barrels, and in 1882, 81, $685.
$50 barrels. A little petroleum is OBJ
tanned in West Virginia, a little at vari-
Gus isolated points in Ohio, and a little
in the Canadian province of Ontario.
There is also a small field in Germany,
a larger one, scantily developed, in
Southern Russia, and one still larger,
perhaps, in India. The total produc-
ton of all the fields, outside of the
region here described, is but a small
fraction in the general account, how
ever, and has scarcely an appreciate
influence upon the market. Further
more, the oil of these minor fields,
whether in America or the Old World:
is of an inferior quality, and so long as
the great Pennsylvania reservoir holds
out, Ear only supply a local demand in
the vicinity of the wells."-E. =. Small

IN CAMP FANCY.

You cannot imagine the kind of q
place it was. You would have to see
Camp Fancy to understand just how it
looked in all its dreariness and desola-
ton. You would have to Chamber up
the full length of its n narrow, rocky
street, before you could understand Just
how crooked and rocky and steep that
street was. You would have to see for
yourself the shabby, rough old log and
slab huts that composed the camp, be-
fore you could have any conception of
how rough and shabby and drearY they
were.
These Rocky Mountain mining lamps
are such d~esolate places; but the people
who generally make up the population
do not think SO. They so well love the
freedom of their mountain home, they
feel NO solitude amid the everlasting
gloom of narrow, dark canyons and
gulches that never know the blessed
sunshine.
The great powders that hang above
their cabin homes, the sn~ow-crowned
SUBMITS that cast their long black
shadows owe the camps, the barren
mountain slopes, the wiidness and DESC
lation, are dearer and more soothing to
them than the fair, peaceful beauty OF
the PARKWAY homes in the Eastern
States.
Camp Fancy had, in times past, been
gayer than it was when I first entered
its precincts. The miners told me that
the s'boom'' had gone out of it; they
were confident, however, that ''she'd
boom up agin one O. these here days"
''She's got the min'ral to do it with,
Mister, only we cayn't jest locate it"
was what a tall, lank, awkward fellow,
called "Old Kentuck," said to me,
when 1 asked about the of the
camp and the reasons for its present de-
Ginning condition.
"'That's hit," said a fellow-miner.
"what Old Kentuck sezis k'rect. They's
scads o. min'ral here, 'thout a doubt,
eff a body could only strike hit"
Possibly the hopeful, toiling, waiting
little community of miners were right

On the New York & Hartfo

On the New York & Hartford Road
the other day the hands on a freight
train caught a party of tramps in a car,
locked them in, and on arrival turned
them over to the police. Out of this
grew the story that the tramps had
captured the train, while really the
train captured the tramps.

who had been the recipient of his ex-
ceedingly early love back in ''Mis-
soury."
But the image of that Sally Maria had
never faded from Larrie's memory, al
though he had good reasons for believ-
ing hat she had ridden to school on a
rivals sled and delightedly munched a
rivals candy before Larrie was fairly
out Of Missouri.
He had with a blue pencil printed
''SALLY MARIER" on a piece of paper
and Tackled it to a post on his claim.
Then he had secretly taken a shovel
and pick and commenced the mighty
work of prospecting.
He had found a place on the steep
hillside where there were few rocks.
and here he commenced his tunnel; and
never did sturdy, hopeful miner work
more zealously than did Larrie.
He would steal away for hours at a
time and dig in his tunnel. One of the
men had left an old wheelbarrow in his
cabin, and Larrie was half a day in
trundling the clumsy thing up the steep
hillside to his tunnel.
In two weeks the little laborer had
driven his tunnel into the mountain
side to the length of ten feet. He
would not have known silver ore had
he found the purest vein of it, and yet
he dug away with aching limbs and
| blistered hands.
On the day of which I write, he had
gone up to the tunnel to forget his grief
in work. Poor little soul ! he did not
notice how the sides of his illy-con.
structed tunnel were crumbling, mol
what a seam there was overhead. He
dragged the old wheelborrow in, when
he suddenly found himself in total
darkness. A great 5owlder had fallen,
completely blocking up the mouth OF
the tunnel and nearly filling it with
earth and gravel. Poor Larrie had left
the pick and shovel outside the tunnel
and was in a desperate strait. He YVES
