Liquor Drinking in Russia
Cincinnati Enquirer.

iCiucluIidUl IL.liullcl.
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, poiizei, 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 vodh as 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 period of incarceration in
jail with hard labor, followed, in extreme
cases, with 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 as the liquor
dealer sees that one Of his customers is liable
to get violently drunk, he turns him out on
the street. And man already drunk can
get no more vodki.'
"But suppose the drunken man kicks up a
row, what chem"
GO He is taken in charge by the police and
down to the station house. His punishment
then follows as q 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 or may
not accept of the proffered municipal hospi-
tality, but when z o'clock strikes he has to go
out on the street gang and with broom and
spade make the Nevskoi Pewspekt, or any
other street he may work on, as clean as a new
| pin"
| "But do they make no difference between
gentlemen and workmen q
"None whatever; yet there is difference
generally The gentlemen who are found
drunk on the streets at night usually have
black clothes. They are marked on the bach
with great white Greek cross, a cross big
enough to be seen half a square away. The
moujik, or workmen class, who, at least il
the summer, are found with their dirty Whit
shirts covering their shoulders, are marked
with an equally conspicuous black cross
This is the only difference, and if gentlmar
be with white or light colored clothing OF
him he gets also the black cross. They ar
al classed as drunkards and treated withou
reference to their rank"

primarily to blame fur dis state of society!

ga young man am shot down in cold blood
in Detroit. OAR am no clue to de murderer.
Ebery editor merchant, banker, tailor, shoe
maker am laborin' man in de city am anx-
iously wonderin' if de murderer will be ar
rested. Ebery lawyer in de city am anx-
iously wonderful how de fend kin be cleared
in case he am arrested.
ga policeman am shot down by thief on de
street De one who fires de shot escapes, but
companion am arrested While de police
am anxious to hold him until some clue kin
be obtained, de lawyers am anxious to get
him out fur de sake of paltry fee.
sLet man plan a murder an he plans
de chances of bein' cleared of de charge by o
lawyer. 1t was lawyer who first cooked up
de plea of insanity. It am de lawyer who
pleads kleptomania, softenin' of de brain,
fits, frenzy, and any odder excuse to soften
crime. De lawyer who hasn't a reputation
for beatin' de law am no good. Let it be
known dat he am successful in clearin' Grim

ssWhat does bank cashier reason when he
robs? Why, dat his lawyer kin make a set

tries to beat his creditors. Why, dat his law

he pockets de peoples cash? Why, dat a
tenth of his stealins will pay a lawyer to
prove him innocent.

state an sots down to diskiver loopholes 1t
isn't how he kin enforce the law, but how he
kin evade it. 1t isn't how he kin see justice

During the past summer, handsome
young man and a mischievous young lady
were among the guests at the White Noun
tain hotel. The young man was teased by
his friends on account of his habit of lunch
ing just before going to bed. One evening
he found large paper-bag of crackers on
his table. Rashly jumping to the conclu-
sien that the mischievous young lady had
made him the gift, he went on tptoe to the
door of her room and tossed a cracker
through the open transom. The room was
dark, but the crackers fall was followed by
a slight scufling. He paused a moment
and then threw second and a third.
Each time a rustling was heard, but no
one spoke. Having tossed the entire

a Perfect System OF Water Carriage
Beautiful Landscapes, Strikingiy
Like Egypt.
1Cor. London Standard. I

fCor London Standard.
There is probably no other country in the
world that possesses so perfect system of
water carriage as Tonquin. The Red river,
some fifty miles about Hanoi, branches out
into about twenty different streams, and
thenceforward to the sea these are connected
and sub connected by a 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 hardly 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 a couple of hundred infanterie de
marine. Fine young men they were, and
well behaved, hut not set up in discipline and
soldier-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 20 the sea, a half-dozen miles
away, entered one of the other mouths of the
Songkoi, whence issued stream full half a
mile in width. As the sun rose high in 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 ailuvial flats,
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 overfiows its banks, and is
Kept within bounds only by an extensive
series of earthworks Then the water, as il
| Egypt, is deep red in color, and posses les Tx
| property, like that of the Nile, of refertiliz
ing an exhausted SOIL
The Landscapes of the two countries are also
strikingly similar. AS far as the eye cal
reach are clumps Of palms and villages in
Vulnerable, standing out like islands in a Sc;
of green The fields for miles are under rice
and there is no more beautiful tint in nature
| than the brilliant 7erdure Of the humbl
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 til
fields; and along the banks of our canal the
stood in an endless line-men, women an
children-as they gaped at the Pc sin
steamer. The water, the mud, and the make
men that wallowed in the latter, were all c
| the same reddish-yellow tinge. They pos
sessed, each OF these, strictly agriculture
