The Russians as Eaters,

Christian at Work.
The Russians eat on an average
once every two hours. The climate
and custom requires such frequent
meals, the digestion of which is aid
ed by frequent draughts of vodki
and tea. Vodki is the Russian
whisky, and made from potatoes
and rye. 1t is fiery and coIorless,
and 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 insepa-
rable accompaniment of friendly rs
we'll as of business intercourse in the
country of The car Drunken men
are rare. Russia and Sweden are
the only countries in which the
double dinner is the rule. When you

he a friend Or stranger, you are at
once invited to side-table, where
salted meats, picked eel. sailed Gu,
cumbers, and many other spicy and
nppetizing viands are urged upon
you with an impressiveness that
knows no refusal. This repast
is washed down with frequent
cups OF vOdki. That over, and

Gas by a Slot Machine.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Gas is the latest addition to the
automatic ''penny-in-the-slot" sys-
TEN. 1t is to be tried at Birming-
ham in connection with artisans
dwellings,. The meter is the patent
of a Manchester firm. The burners
will consume five cubic feet OF gas per
hour, and for Id. a consumer can
have 25 feet. He will pay Id. per
100 feet instead of the Sd. an Ordi-
nary consumer pays, but he will not
be charged for meter and fittings,
and he can have a full supply for Cd.
1t is hoped that the plan will meet
the difficulties small consumers feel
in paying quarterly gas bills, and SO
the Birmingham Corporation Gas
Department is about to make the
experiment. 1t ought to answer in
all dwellings, on the flat system,
and we may look for extensions of
the idea in many directions. Already
extra light is supplied to some rail
way carriages on this principle. Hot
water for warming a room, electric
light on toggy days, and many 9th
err things are within the range of the
penny automatic meters.

A Plant TYpe-Setter.

There is an honest type-setter in
this city, possessed of a pliable
mind, which he is apt to change &C.
cording to the impressions made up
on it. He once set type on a tee
total organ, and, after thinking over
the anti-alcoholic arguments in his
manuscript, he signed the pledge.
He next got a job on a sporting
weekly, and was soon led to join a
baseball club. He atterward hand
led his stick in a methodist weekly,
and his reasoning soon led him to
membership in the church. He then
set type for a presbyterian editor,
whose copy convinced him of the
truth of Calvinism. He next ''got a
sit' on a free-trade paper, which led
him to revise his veiws of the tariff.
He afterward worked as typo on a
liquorish sheet, where, after setting
a hundred galleys of arguments in
favor Of grog, he adopted the prac-
tice of taking glass at times. At
latest accounts this type-setter OF
pliable mind was standing at the
case in the Office of a spiritualistic
publication, and had become con-
WINGED that his true function in life
was that of a medium or faith-curist
