ONE DRINK TO EACH
AND THIS BARKEEPER ALLOWS
 NO SMOKING.
Queer Little Inn in London Which At tracts Custom by Its Unusual Regula

J1st off tuss Bishopgate London, in small and somewhat ~slummy'
 street. there stands 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 worthy citizen, seeing that he himself invented
 so 10 speak. this original system of do- ing business. has been in the occupa ton of the house some twenty odd years. Thither go all sorts and eondi- 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. bottle, and calling it one drink. Nc; his one drink means & certain measure of beer. wine, or spir= it's, and that a moderate one On the wall of the one bar wherein all and sund1y are served alike. hang the printed rules of the establishment in a frame. They set forth how that the proprietor, deeming that he may con- duet his business as he thinks best, and having at heart the cause of temper ance begs to call attention, etc Then follow in numbered order the several rules. Before a customer can have a 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 in the trade Eleven o'clocK sharp sees the house shut on five nights of the week. On Saturdays the hour is l2 and on Sundays, 10. To this house the chief rabbi grants his special per init 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 oi pure curiosity The sightseeing and novelty-hunting American finds it out in his rambIes. Should the curiosity monger, however, try to coax the men servers behind the bar into a breach of their stern laws he is courteously 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. ,

Rats as a Diet.

That the Chinese consider rats de- sirahte as a diet is well known, but the treason is not familiar A China man is quoted as saying: What car rot is to horses coat rat is to the human hair. Neither fact can be ex- plained, but every horseman knows that a regimen of carrots will make his stud smooth and lusSFous as vel vet, and the Chinese, especially the women, know that rats used as food will stop the falling out of hair and make the locks soft, silky and beau tiful I have seen it tried many imes.'s-JFtica Press.

Gold Crops.

There are several districts in the
world where gold may be said to grow
every season. One is in the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian Northwest,
where, after the spring floods, there
are taken every year from the banks
and bed of the Saskatchewan river
considerable quantities of gold. But
the most conspicuous and interesting
case of this sort is to be seen near
Ichang, in the province of Hupeh,
China. For many centuries past each
year gold has been washed from the
banks of coarse gravel on both sides
of the River Han, and in the midst OF
the auriferous district there is an an
cient town called Li-kiu-tien, which
means "gold-diggers' inn." It's inhab-
itants subdivide the gold-bearing
ground among themselves annually
stalking out their claims with parti-
tions. The annual river floods bring
down millions of tons of mud and sand
from the mountains which is charged
with gold, both fine" and in flakes
