FAR from diminishing the consump.
ton of liquor, the government mono
poly of spirits in Russia seems vastly
to have increased drunkenness among
the subjects of the car. For, where
as formerly the authorities frowned
upon the dfamshops and favored the
establishment Of tea drinking estab-
lishments, the contrary is now the
case, since il has been found that the
popularity and vogue Of the the tea
shops affect injuriously the revenue
derived by the state from its monopoly
of the sale Of spirits.

THERE is popular idea that June is
the favorite month for weddings and
that the young woman who loves ro-
nance and who wishes fortune to smile
upon her nuptials in every way must
choose this of all months. Cold and
unromantic fact, however, shows that
the three most popular marriage
months are October, November and
December Fifty years show this to
be true, and also demonstrate the fact
that the most unpopular months are
January, February and March.
