ONE DRINK TO EACH.
AND THIS BARKEEPER ALLOWS
 NO SMOKING.
Queer Little Inn in London Which At tracts Custom by Its Unusual Regula
 tions-How Hypocrites can Make a Success by Utilizing Novelty. .

Jrs. off busy Bishopgate, London, in sma. and somewhat "slummy" street. there stands a public house re- markable for the fact that in it one is allowed tc have only one drink-and no smoke. The proprietor of this quaint hostelry, obviously 8 worthy citizen, seeing that he himself invented, so to speak, this original system of do
 ing business, has been in tke occupa- tion of the house some twenty odd years. Thither go all sorts and condi- tions of men, from the silk-hatted city man to the railway porter, warehouse man, or mere messenger. All have just their one drink, and go out. Nor is it possible to trick the proprietor by or
 dering, say, a bottle. and calling it "one drink" No; his one drink means certain measure of beer, wine, or spir- it's. and that moderate one. On the wall of the one bar, wherein all and sundry are served alike, hang the printed rules of the establishment in frame. They set forth how that the proprietor, deeming that he may con- duet his busiDsss as he thinks best, and having at heart the cause of temper anee, begs to call attention, etc. Then follow in numbered order the several rules. Before a customer can have z second drink he must go away and stop away for at least thirty or forty minutes. One result of the strictly en- forced rule against smoking is that the atmosphere of the bar is wonder fully clear and fresh. Of course, no person is served should he appear to be ever so slightly under the influence of alcohol. The result is perfect oruer and subdued quiet The hours of closing, too, differ from those of other houses iu the trade Eleven o'clock sharp sees the house shut on five nights of the week. On Saturdays the hour is 12 and on Sundays, 10. To this house the chief rabbi grants his special per nit every Pentecost to sell Kosher rum to those Of the Jewish community of the neighborhood. Of course, over and above the regular customers, many people are attracted to this inn out of pure curiosity. The sightseeing and novelty hunting American finds it out in his rambles Should the curiosity monger, however, try to coax the men, servers behind the bar into breach of their stern laws he is cautiously re- fused. They are never caught mapping
 try them ever so often. The list of carefully compiled rules concludes with an intimation that such customers as do not care to conform thereto are "re- spectfully requested to transfer their custom to some other establishment.

increase In Minor Grimes.

The British home office report for 1897 shows that while serious crimes tend to diminish in England, there is a great increase in minor offenses. By far the larger number of criminals con- victed during a year have been con victed of some crime before-a fact that led the home office to conclude that neither penal servitude nor im- prisonment serves to deter the habit ual offender from reverting to crime, and it is the habitual offenders who form the bulk of the prison popuIa- tion.''

 The most noted grove of walnut trees in the United States, containing ffty-one black walnut trees. all of them of enormous size, was sold at Cassopolis, Mich, for $10,000 cash. The purchasers were German and English parties. The logs will be cut and squared for shipment. It is estimated that one of the trees will produce S1,- 200 worth of choice lumber. It was oyer 100 feet of good logging size, its largest diameter was 7 feet, circumfer- ence 2l.99 feet and it would require five men hand in hand to encircle it.

Out of the heart of the mulberry grows a cherry and a peach tree, both of which are eight inches in diameter. They grow to point ten feet above the ground.

Death Leading Age to Repos


 Death Leading Age to Repose. aesd him gently-he is weary, Spirit of the placid brow! Life is long and age is dreary, And he seeks to slumber now. Lead him gently-he is weeping For the friends he can not see; Tently-for he shrinSs from sleeping On the couch he asks of thee! Thou, with mien of solemn gladness, With the thought-illumined eye, Pity thou the mortal's sadness Teach him it is well to die. Time has yelled his eye with blindness. On thy face it may not dwell oF its sweet, majestic kindness Would each moarnful doubt dispel. PassionIess thine every feature, Moveless is thy Beings calm, While poor suffering human nature Knows but few brief hours of balm; Yet, when lffe's long strife is closing, And the grave is drawing near. How it shrinks from that reposing Where there comes nor hope nor feari Open thou the visioned portal, That reveals the life sublime, That within the land immortal Waits the weary child of Time. Open thou the land of beauty, Where the Ideal is no dream, And the child of patient Duty Walks in joys unelouded beam. Thou, with brow that owns no sorrow, With the eye that may not weep, Polnt him to Heaven $ coming morrow show him it is well to sleep!

Taxation In China.

The Chinese are perhaps the most lightly taxed people in the world. In China all the land belongs to the state, and trifing sum per acre never altered through long centuries is paid as rent. This is the only tax in the country, and it amounts to about 2 shillings 6 pence per head yearly.

Island Is 2 ATagnee.

In tie Baltic the Danish island Born. holm, which is situated about twenty four miles, east by south, from the nearest point of Sweden, may be re- garded as a huge magnet. Although the power of this magnetic island is not so great that it can draw the nails out of ships, as was told of the legend ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bernholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- ble to ships in quite another way, for the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes a vessel to turn perceptible aside from it's course. The effect of the island magnetism is felt at a distance of about nine and half miles. On the island cf Ca 1a Gone of the Argyllshire Heb r.des), situate about three miles north west of Rum, there is hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the compasses of vessels passing near it. The island is a mile in breadth by four and half miles in length.
