A Plentitude of Meals in Russia.

The Russian eats on an average once every two hours. The climate and cus- tom require such frequent meals, the di gestion of which is aided by frequent draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is the Russian whi,ky, ma le from potatoes and rye. It is fiery and colorless and is generally favored with some extract like vanilla or orange. It is drunk from small cups that hold perhaps half a gill. Vodki and tea are the inseparable ac- compartments of friendly as of we'll of business intercourse in the country of the Czar. Drunken men are rare. Rus. sia and Sweden arc the only countries in which the double dinner is the rule When you go to the house of a Russian, be he friend or stranger, you are at once invited to side table, where salted meats, pickled eel salted cucumbers, and many other spicy aud appetizing viands, are urged upon you with an inn pressiveness that knows no refusal. This repast IS washed down with fre- quent 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 for dinner" At the dinner table the meal is served in oourses. -NSw 1en1 A1ses

Catching AbalOnes and Turtles.

The coasting trade with Baja Califor- nia from San Francisco, San Pedro and San Diego is much larger than is usually thought. Abalone shells and meat form large portion of the trade. The abalone is an enormous clamllke shellfsh; from the interior of the shells is made more than half of the smother of pearl used in the world. The shells are chiefly shipped to Paris where they are ground and the article put into a marketable form. The shells bring from $25 to $35 a ton, according to their quality; and as they often grow as large as a wash bowl, it does not require very many to make ton. The meat is in very great demand among the Chinese, and is ex- ported largely to China where it is worth $110 ton.
 More than half the whaling done on this coast is done off the shore of the peninsula, and the hunting of turtles is very profitable. The United States fish commission steamer Albatross returned to San Diego from trip down the coast. While in the vicinity of Earth olomew bay big seine was cast as an experi- ment. The seine was 400 feet long, and it required thirty five men to haul it ashore, and when it was landed it was found to contain 167 green turtles, av- eraging 125 pounds each.

The Matching of LObsters.

MT. E. A. Brack cit of the Massachu- setts Commission on Fisheries and Game Is making arrangements to commence the propagation of Holsters on the Mas sachusetts coast early in June. Asteam launch has been purchased by the con- mission and is now being fitted for this work. MT. Brackett has made the drawings for matching boxes, and they are now being constructed. He expects to be able to turn 40, 900, 900 young Holsters into Massachusetts waters this season. The experiment will be watched with great deal of h terest by every one interested in fish culture, as this il the first attempt made to propagate the lobster artificially. The lobster fisher men are interested in the experiment, and have promised to give all the aid and assistance in their power to help the project along, and it is from them that Mir. Bracket expects to secure the fe- male Holsters, and, as female lobster of twelve inches in length carries from 30, 900 to 40, 900 eggs, he will only re- quire from 1900 to 1400 to furnish the requisite number or eggs to make up the enormous number he proposes to hatch this season. Professor s. Carmen will be detailed from Harvard College to assist MT. Brackctt in this great un- dertaking.

A SagaciOus Rodent.

A St. Louis policeman reports watch ing the maneuvers of gray old rat in an alley in that city. Emerging from Q hole she moved cautiously to pan of water standing near. Presently five young ones rushed out and raced to see which would reach tho water first. The old rodent seemed very much alarmed, and, with bound, leaped to the edge of the pan, raised herself on her launches and bit and scratched at her offspring whenever they attempted to drink. After she had succeeded in chasing the young ones back into their hole she wet her whiskcrs in the water, looked rather susp;ciously about, and slipped the water very cautiously, as if to learn whether or not it contained poisonous matter. Then, after a satis- fled glance round, she gave squeak, and the five young rats came running out and drank their fill.-Detroit Free Press
