A Double Dinner in Rpss;a

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 a gill.
Vodki and tea are the inseparable ac-
compartments of friendly as well 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 a friend or a stranger.
you are at once invited to a side table,
where sailed meats, picked eel, sailed
cucumbers, and many other spicy and
appetizing 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 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 crown the bottle

A gentleman who has Just returned
from six months residence in Lon
don, where he spent much of his time
among the literary men, has some in
teresting gossip to tell concerning one
or two Of the novelists which will
bear repeating. Speaking of David
Christie Murray, the author of oval
Strange, Joseph's Coat. and number
less other stories, he said: Murray is
one OF the most interesting men in Lon
don. He has had the hardest of work
to attain his present position. From
boyhood he has made his way unaided
and like many other writers of fiction
he came up from newspaper work, and
his early journalistic training has
been of inestimable value to him.
After working for long time on The
Birmingham News, he resolved to see
London, and arrived in the city with
but little to keep body and soul TO-
gether. While casting about for some
road to fortune he wrote an article on
'1mpecunious London" which was
printed in one of the weeklies and
served to open new field of work to
him. The paper, it need hardly be
said, was founded upon his own expe-
riences, and its success encouraged
him later to set out on an extended
tour as an amateur tramp. To put it
out of his power to enjoy creature
comforts he mailed bank note to the
care of post office nearly 100 miles
away and started to walk to it. He
had not penny to buy lodging or
food, he stopped at many of the poor
house hotels which lay on his path,
worked a bit when nothing else would
secure food in true tramp style, and,
arriving at the longed for postoffice,
secured his money and reveled in lux
urious comforts. He is member of
the Savage club, London, and one of
its shining lights. philadelphia

The Power of Dinner.

A distinguished lawyer came out of
his private Office few days ago and
brusquely told reporter that he did not
care to discuss the private affairs of his
clients. He said it was none of the pub
lies business, and then he bounced back
into his private Office and slammed the
door. 1t was important that the reporter
should get the news, and SO, on the
strength of past experiences, he called at
the lawyers home that night. The
lawyer had just finished his dinner, and
he came into his parlor, his face BEAM
ing with geniality and prime cigar in
his mouth. He shook the reporters
hand, and then talked to him for half an
hour, and gave him more information
than he had any use for. A light knowl-
edge of human nature is sometimes very
useful. New York Sun.

Too Much for the Mosouitoes.

W. A. Sanders thus expresses him
self in defense of a tree upon which
there has of late been a disposition to
open warfare: Il have more of these
trees eucalyptus growing than can
be found anywhere else in the San
Joaquin valley-great monsters 120
feet tall, containing over cord of
wood each, grown from seed in the
past ten years You can see my euca-
lyptus groves from the cars of the
Southern Pacific railroad from Goshen
to Fowler, distance of over twenty
miles. | wish TO add a fact to your
recommendation of this tree-a fact too
important to be overlooked. The euca-
lyptus globulus, when grown in large
quantities, gives entire exemption
from mosquitoes. Here at my home
we have acres of dense shade, big,
sluggish ditch that is always full of
water, and in all of our prolonged
summer and autumn heat never

Kings river, two miles away, they

The Lantern Slide.

In proportion to the skill and labor
involved in its preparation, the Ian.
tern slide confers greater nleas,,ra

pre-emlnently calculated to give salts

through its translucent glass and the

Melssonier could hardly hope to equal.

There is no end to the variety of
charm possessed by this form of photo

interest among amateurs, in this direc-
ton, must make the lantern slide a
dominant feature in the art. The es.
Enlistment of the International ex-
change for the encouragement of Ian

the scope of this adjunct to amateur

Producing Dreams.

The narcotic properties of certain
members of the vegetable kingdom
have caused many superstitions. In
Brazil it is the custom among the In
dams to the present day to give mar
cote drinks to children, in order, by
the resulting dreams, to gain informa-
ton about the future. In several parts
of Europe the four leaf clover under
the pillow will cause prophetic dreams.
The somniferous qualities OF the hop
pillow are well known, but the Rus
slams go step further than ourselves
in the use of plant named nontrava,
which induces dreams presumed to be
prophetic. Firstly, to dream of white
flowers has been supposed to prognos-
ticate death; with which may be COM
pared the popular belief that, IF
white rose bush puts forth unexpect-
edly, it is sign Of death in the near
est house, dream omens, in many
cases, rejecting the superstitions of
daily life.-Folk Lore of Plants.

OLD BOYS.

The ''Old Boys" spin their tops of trade.
And make them hum where games are PLAYED
How YEARLY they WIND them,
Tneir neighhors' tops they peg and split,
And think they make happy hit
n they In ruins tind them
And they are fond Ct pitch and toss;
And when they fail to win the loss
Shows their bookkeeping funny
It's heads win and tails you lose"
And that's the way fortune goes,
And fools part with their money.
Sometimes they fly their kites in air
With little but the paper there,
And slender ties that hold them
A sudden change may bring them down.
Although they hoated over the town
Before their makers sold them
Sometimes with pipes and watered soap.
Their faces radiant of hope,
They ill the air with bubbles;
And when fate pricks the shining skin
We wonder how a thing so thin
Could cause so many troubles
Tis sport to see them play at ball;
They call them stocks that rise and fall:
They show their skill at CANNON.

Over fence like silly sheep,
And fall in Wall street sprawling.

Thought he Wa, . Psda,.r

A well known lawyer started for his
north side home about dusk one evening
last week. He thought he needed exer-
else, so he concluded to walk over. He
had with him ladies' work basket,
fixed upon a high standard. and this he
was carrying home to his wife. He
struck Dearborn avenue and FASTENED
north at rapid gate. He was looking
straight ahead, and after he had gone a
few blocks he noticed stylishly dressed
lady alight from a handsome eouipage
and run hurriedly up the steps of a
house. He thought he noticed her drop
something, and when he reached the
sidewalk in front of the house where the
carriage had stood he looked down and
discovered fat purse. Picking it up he
trlpped up the steps and rang the door
BELL the lady having been admitted be-
lore he came up. His ring was answered
In moment by neat maid, whom he
asked if the lady of the house was in.
The lady evidently heard the question,
as she stepped at once to the door. He
was about to return the pocketbook she
had dropped, when she noticed the bas-
ket in his hand and blurted out: mo.
we don't want anything" Then she
slammed the door in his face. He wanted
to explain, but it wounded his pride to
be taken for peddler, and he tucked the
pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded
on his way home.
On his way down town in the morning
the gentleman stopped again at the lady's
house to return the pocketbook. Hiswife
had not been satisfied with the work
basket he had brought home with him,
and he carried it along to exchange for
another.
1t happened that when he rang the
bell of the house, the number of which
he had carefully noted the day before,
the lady herself was in the hall. She
fastened to the door and when she saw
the man and the basket again she petu-
lantly exclaimed, 81 told you last night,
sir, that we wanted nothing" and for
the second time she slammed the door in
his countenance. This made him hot.
When he reached his office he put the
pocketbook in a sealed envelope and
tucked it away in his safe. For a whole
week afterward the lady advertised in
all OF the papers for her lost wealth.
at last the lawyer addressed her note,
asking her to call at his office. When
she came he sat her down, explained all
the circumstances to her, and then hand
ed over her pocketbook. 1t contained
1851. Now it is safe bet that when
man who looks like a canvasser rings
her door bell she will search her pockets
before she turns him away.-Chicago

How 1t Is Done In Mexico.

"Like the alcalde of Lagos" Como ell
alcalde de Lagos, is an expression cur
rent throughout large part Of Mexico
to denote any trying or ludicrous posi-
ton that man is placed in because both
his hands are full. The story runs:
Once went an alcalde of Lagos to
church. And in his right hand he car
ried his staff of Office, and as he entered
the church he lifted off and held in his
left hand his hat Then he sought to
put the holy water upon his forehead;
but this he could not do, for both his
hands were full. Then in while a bold
resolve entered his heart, and he plunged
his head into the font.
Before the plaza that is in the midst of
the town of Lagos was set in order, as
it now is, there was in the middle of it
deep and wide hole. And this hole
caused the town council (ayuntamiento)
much concern, for they perceived that it
was dangerous place. into which the
unwary might fall in the dark and be
killed or MANNED. So meeting of the
council was called, and it was decided
that the hole should be filed. And to
get earth to fill it a hole was dug beside
1t. And, behold, when it was full there
was a new hole, as deep and as wide as
that which was filed! Then in the same
way did they set about filling the new
hole, and again was the same result,
only now the hole no longer was in the
middle of the plaza, but over at the side
of it in the street that goes out toward
the north. And again they filed it, and
so continued, until at last tho hole was
far out in the northern suburb of the
town. And there they suffered the hole
to remain, for there it did no HARM
