RUSSIAN APPETITES.

Eating Forms the Chief Occupation Of
the Cars Subjects.
The Russian eats on an average
once every two hours. The climate
and custom require such frequent
meals, the digestion 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 generally favored
with some extract like vanilla or
orange. 1t is drunk from small cups
that hold perhaps half a gill. Vodki
and tea are the inseparable accom-
paniments of friendly as we'll as of
business intercourse in the country Of
the Car. 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 a
stranger, you are at once invited to q
side-table, where salted meats, picked
eel. salted cucumbers. and many
other spicy and appetizing viands are
urged upon you with an impressive
ness that knows no refusal. This re-
past is washed down with frequent
cups of "voGki." That over, and

eaten enough for twenty-four hours.

A DROwSY DAY.

The butterflies fit here and there
About the tawny. dust-deep road,
Likes flakes of gold, in quivering glare.
Heat-shriveled vines. and leaves that showed
Life IN each leaf all breezy June,
Droop languidly along the way;
And lone bee, with mufded Groom
Seems moodily to say:
'It is drowsy, drowsy day"
No silver ripple stirs the brook
Whose CLASSY flow slips noiselessly;
There seems no life where eyes may look'
The clouds and ships beoalmed at sea-
The song lies hushed in painting throat
OF bird; grasshoppers tire Of play;
The cricket seldom shrills its note.
And only then to say:
1T is a drowsy, drowsy day."
So noontide lapses unto eve.
The farmhouse panes flash ruby-clear;
And bats their secret places leave, 4!
And katy-dids again we hear.
The fire. flies gem the gathering shade;
The swallows cheep, in circling play;
And weary flowers, in field and glade,
Seem whispering to say:
'It was drowsy, drowsy day"

One of the first public libraries of
New Jersey was founded in 1896 in
New Brunswick. The librarian book
has lately been examined. and it does
not bear out the notion that in those
days nothing but good solid literature
was read. 1t is found that over third
OF the reading done was of fiction. pure
and simple, though only one-eighth of
the books was devoted to that branch
of literature. During the first two
months .'The Fool of Destiny" was
drawn eighteen times and Desmond"

Gently published in two volumes a

the campaign of 1864 and 1866. nine

balls In the campaign of 1870 the
number of regimental colors pierced
was 151. The flag of the Seventh
Regiment of Infantry was hit by
twenty-three balls in the single battle
of Mars-la-Tour. In the entire
Franco-Prussian war thirty-eight
Prussian standard bearers were killed
while holding their colors.
