not opened for any purpose till spring.
The cooking is all French, and most OF the
cooks are Swiss or Frenchmen. The meats
and fish are particularly good, but there Is a
lack of fresh vegetables, scarcely anything
but peas, beans cucumbers, and cabbage
being obtainable. At the large hotels wait
ers usually speak English and French rs
well as Russian. and in fact the former Ian
Cuages are heard more than that of the
country. Prices are about the same as IN
other frst-cla hotels in Europe and Amer
lea. Comfort and good living costs about
as much i'm one part OF the world as another.

cially on wines and cigars, but the native
wines of the Crimea are as good as those OF

Tobacco and playing cards are Govern

in charge of revenue officials for their sale.

A Funny ,yav OF selling Cigars.

There are more cigarettes used than
cigars. and very little chewing tobacco.
Cigars are sold in a peculiar manner. by
wholesale alone. Samples are hung on u
card. with prices attached. and when you
enter a shop TO purchase the attendant
hands you down the card; you examine the
different coors and sizes. select that which
suits you, and then receive "a box contain
ing ten. or twenty-five, or fifty. or one huns
dred, rs you please. All the boxes have
covers of glass so that the purchaser can
see what he is getting. but he cannot open
the box nor break the seal If he does he
must pay for IL. The prices are about the
same rs in the United States. A good
Havana cigar costs from twelve to twenty
cents.

Waseca Radical: 1T Is the general talk
that railway commissioner Gibbs has
killed his political goose by the advice
given the public TO refuse TO pay full
charges for fare on the Northern Pacific
railroad, allowing themselves to be put
off the train and then sue the company
for damages. Such advice seems weak
from such source. Individuals cannot
stand lawsuits with gigantic railroad cor
poratlons and If there is, to be having it
would seem the duty of the commission,
which has the great State and the Treas
ury at their back, to commence the action
against the company. compelling obcdi-
ence to the commissions orders. That is
what we have commission for. And If
the commissioners orders cannot be en-
forced, the commission either should not
make such orders or the legislature should
enact law that gives them power to
COMPEL obedience to their orders. And
as regards the sleeping car order. farmers
do not ride in sleeping cars and care very
little about whether the upper birth is
down or up. It's low rates for freights,
farmers want, and proper enforcement
of the long and short haul clause" And
farmers are the chief ballot swingers of
this great commonwealth"

They Got Even with Him,

While the young ladies were pre- paring
for their Leap Year Ball, they had a few
private meetings." Zone of the boys,
learning where they were to meet,
thought it would be good joke to invite
some of the boys to meet with them.
Accordingly he sends postal cards to four
or five of the boys, signed COMMITTEE"
The boys of course called on the girls,
supposing the invitation to be genuine.
All had good laugh when the joke was
discovered, and the boys went home with
the girls.
1t did not take them long to determine
the author of the joke, and the result was
that next day the boy received a tele:
gram to meet a Young lady who would
pass through on the afternoon train. He
was at the tram, but found no girl. An
other message informed him she "got
left" and would pass through on the
II As D. M train. He was al the train
again at midnight, all expectancy, and
the train was reported seven hours late.
Rather than have him wait for the train,
the boys Informed him that the message
was as bogus rs his postal card invitation
After inviting the friends to kick his
coat tail off, he took the boys over town,
set up the oysters, and had good laugh
with them. He knows as we'll as any
how to give joke, and also how to take
one.>
