A Double Dinner In Russia.

The Russian eats on an average once
every two hours. The climate and GUS
tom require such frequent meals, the di-
gestion of which is aided by frequent
draughts of vodki and tea Vodki is the
Russian whisky, made from potatoes and,
rye. 1t is fiery and colorless, and is gen
orally favored with some extract like
vanilla or orange. 1t is drank from
small cups that hold perhaps half gill.
Vodki and tea are the inseparable ac-
compartments of friendly as we'll as of
business intercourse in the country of
the czar. Drunken men are rare.
Russia and Sweden are the only coun-
tries in which the double dinner is the
rule, When YOU go to the house of a
Russian, be he friend or q stranger,
you are at once invited to a side table,
where salted meats, picked eel, salted
Ocucumbers,. and many other spicy and
'appetizing yiands are urged upon you
with an impressiveness that knows no
refusal. This repast is washed down
with frequent cups of vodki. That over,
and when the visitor feels as if he had
eaten enough for twenty -four hours, the
host says, "And now to dinner" At the
dinner table the meal is served in courses,
with wines grown in the Crimea and in
Bessarabia, where excellent clarets and
Burgundies are made and sold for from a
shilling to half a crown the bottle

of the big hotels yesterday, at the same
time dropping half dollar in the port
er's hand. John, with measured alac-
rity, went to obey his orders.
"Do you know" said hotel man
standing by, 'that your half dollar will
find its way into the Golfers of the hotel
company"
''How is that?"
"In many hotels, and l know it is the
rule in this hotel, the head porter is re-
quired to turn over to the house all the
tips he receives, and he receives his pay
in salary and commission on the tips
1t is one of the secrets Of the business,
and is development Of the close bust
ness methods Of the day. Even the
tips Of the servants are made to con-
tribute to the revenues Of the employer"
"But can't the porter keep the tips in
spite Of the house?"
"Oh, yes, in some cases, but the en-
ployer takes care to pick out an honest
man and watch him in the bargain, for
tho tip business in large hotel like
this must be worth st5 or so day to

4 Very smart Dog.

"Now, my dog Laddie has got more
sense than most men," said veteran
breeder of sheep dogs. 81 never had to
train him anything. He just took it up
natural. Ono day when he was pup
called him down to the pasture to help
drive up the cows. In less than week
he could fetch 'ento tho house by him
self. 1t got 50 pretty soon that when
ever the cows heard me call Laddie
they'd start for home full tilt, without
waiting for the dog to come.
"Laddie can manage anything on the
farm but Molly, my bay mare. He can't
drive Molly. When he catches her by
the tail she juststands and kicks at him
till he lets go. They are always quarrel
ing. She's afraid to wallow when he's
around, because he creeps up and bites
her on the back. One day she caught
him asleep on the front porch, l hap
pened to be sitting out there smoking,
where could see the whole show. She
walked up sorter on her tiptoes, as qui-
etly as I could have done it, and got
even by taking handful of hair and a
piece of skin out of his side with her
teeth. Laddie was the most astonished
dog / ever saw. He didn't bark and he
didn't whine. He just got up as quick
as he could and sneaked under the house.
He's meditating some revenge yet. For
downright hard sense, give me collie
every time. New York Tribune.

A King Who Eats OF Gold.

In one respect, at least, King Humbert
Of Italy surpasses in domestic magnif-
cence all the other sovereigns of Europe.
According to Paris letter he breakfasts,
lunches and dimes off golden plate. Vic
toria has spread of gold plate for the
tables Of Buckingham palace, but it is
brought forth only on state occasions.
There is golden service in many of the
royal households Of the continent, but it
is either employed only at state dinners,
as in England, or used only at the prin-
cipal family meal Of the day. Humbert
alone places golden spoon in his mouth
on rising, and removes it only on retir-
ing, and yet there are probably many
people in Itsly who are as happy as their
king. New York Star.

The EnrIl.h nuellInr.

The characteristic English dwelling is
described as a two story brick house,
walled in, and with the best part of the
house at the back; there are the drawing
and dining rooms, while the kitchen and
pantries are in front. In suburban and
country houses the rooms are large and
are arranged around hall; but the win
dows and doors are small. The outside
OF the house is almost uniformly without
architectural decorations, and the dull
ness of the climate is seen in the somber-
ness of the furniture and the adornments
Of the house.
The interior is dull and uncheery.
There is little sweetness and light" in
the colors, forms and expressions, except
in the dwellings of more recent building
and furnishing. Up to within a few
years the inside finish was all of dark
wood and the furniture was mahogany,
of very heavy and ungainly construc-
ton. ..
But if you can dissociate the idea of
comfort from that of art, the English
home has very marked spirit of COM
fort. The sofa is easy and big and the
chairs were made to use. The walls are
papered, never painted, the papers being
dark and of large pattern. The dining
room is the living room of the middle
class families. Such of the family as
remain at home sit in that room during
the forenoon and until after the noon
meal.
Were the color of the English house
less somber and the furniture less cum
brous; were the rooms moro open and
less separated from each other, it would
be the center Of the most perfect ex-
ternal comfort known to the domestic
life of this world. AS it is, tho English
house is the home of sweet love, of
thoughtful civility and of unforgetting
and undying loyalty.-Good Housekeep-

Vagaries of Speech.

A writer in The Paris Figaro, who has
been making fun of what he calls the
drolleries of the French language, might
have extended his purview to language
in general. There are illogicalities in
every tongue. We in England, for in
stance, do not really, though we con-
stantly say we do, light fire, boil pot,
blow out a candle, extinguish a lamp,
serve table or drink glass. In old
novels one often comes across exhorta-

heroines to their giddy companions pro-

Pine Products,

In the Landes district of western
France, on the Gironde, the soil is sandy
and will grow little but pines, Of which
forests have been successfully cultivated.
The inhabitants subsist almost exclu-
sively upon the revenues derived from
the production Of pit props, railway
ties, telegraph poles, fuel and resin. The
annual shipments of pit props from
Bordeaux to England now amount to
about 175,000 tons, which is twice as
much as we shipped ten years ago. The
ties and poles are used mainly in France.
A large quantity of young pines are also
shipped to England for manufacture into
paper. The poorer classes, especially
those farthest from transportation facili-
ties, give their attention to resin, but
there is said to have been q serious de-
cline in the expectation of that article
from Bordeaux through competition from
the United States, which has greatly in
creased its exports, and is the chief
source of supply.
This has been serious misfortune to
the inhabitants Of the Landes district.
Pine oil is made from the refuse of resin
left in making turpentine. It is used ex-
tensively in Bordeaux as an illuminating
oil. 1t burns brightly, is cheaper than
petroleum and is non-explosive. 1t is
also prepared and sold to some extent in
this country, patents having recently
been taken out for its production. In
France the pine does not appear to suffer
from the extraction of resin, where care
is used, but on account of it the wood is
said to be better fitted for certain pur-
poses, such as the manufacture of paper
and pyroligneous acids. The Landes
forests are. of comparatively recent ori-

A cypress tree in Somma, Lombardy,
