Jrst off busy Bishopgate. London, in q small and somewhat s1ummy" Btreetl 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 worthy citizen, seeing that he himself invented, so to speak, this original system of do- ing business, has been in tke occupa- ton of the house some twenty odd years. Thlther 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, bottle. and calling 1t "one drink" No; his one drink means certain measure of beer, wine, or spir
 it's. aud that a 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- duct his busiDsss as he thinks best, and having at heart the cause of temper ance begs to call attention, etc. Then follow in numbered order the seyera; rules. Before a customer can have 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 a subdued quiet. The hours of closing. too, differ from those of other houses h 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 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"

The duke of York is the only mem Der of the royal family who can dance genuine sailors hornp'po. He learned the steps when he was a young cadet The story is told how he and his brother, the late duke of Clarence, were frequently caught together and whilst the latter whistled Prince George would trip it. The duke. too, is a perfect adept at tying the various sailors knots with a rope, and would come out very well in competition with an old hand.

Number Eight" is the fast est east-bound train on one of the great trunk lines.

Mil Require n Large Amount to Com

 A great deal of interest is aroused in both political and financial circles by the appeal for assistance nov being made by Russia in the London money market. For many years to come Rus. sia will require large financial re- sources to carry out her vast plans for railway development in China, Persia and Siberia Unless Londcn comes to the help of M de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, the building of these railways, which bulk so largely in the scaremonger's eyes, is likely r0 be postponed for an indefinite period. 1t seems odd that Russia should come to London to borrow money for the advancement of schemes which are openly designed to thwart the political and commercial interests of England and the United States in the far East. It is unusual to say the least of it, to invite prospective victims to subscribe for the expense of their own interment. The only ground on which the appli- cation is to be justified is the eosmo- politan character of modern finance. which knows neither country nor pas tr1otism. Every shilling subscribed in England or America for the building of Russia's strategic lines in Asia will be used against them. The spirit in which that portion Of the Russian govern ment which is hostile to Anglo-Saxon development administers the affairs of the interior is shown in the arrest and exile of thousands of students, and in the closing of nearly all the principal universities and colleges in Russia Harpers Weekly.

The Chinese are perhaps the most lightly taxed people in the world. In China all the land belongs to the state, and 8 triffing 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 3 shilings 6 pence per head yearly.

PADEREwsKrs TRAINING.

The great Paderewsli is Q thorough believer in physical culture. In speak ing of his own profession, he deprecates the fact that it does not afford a wholly sufficient activity of muscle as of mind and advocates a course of physical training for pianists.
 He complains that the strain on the neck and shoulders of pianists is at times almost unbearable. This discom- fort to a player frequently prevents him from exercising his full vigor, and seriously affects his playing.
 But the after effect of a grand effort is exhausting to a player of sparse muscle and a good physique is the only safeguard against this suffering. The great pianist's views are summed up in the word harmony-a harmony of mind and muscle, as on everything else in nature.-New York World.

FOLDED HANDS.

LThese beautiful verses, quoted by Rev. Dr. Halsey at the memorial ser vice for Mrs. Samuel Miner, whose mo- ble life they portray, are printed by requestl Pale. withered hands, that more than
 four score years Had wrought for others, soothed the
 hurt Of tears. Rocked chiidren's cradles, ceased the
 fever's smart, Dropped balm of love in many an
 aching heart. Now, stirless folded, like wan rose
 leaves pressed Above the snow and silence of her
 breast, In mute appeal they told of Iabors
 done, And wen-earned rest that came at set
 of sun. From the worn brow the lines of care
 had swept, As if an angels kiss, the while she
 slept, Had smoothed the cobweb wrinkles
 quite away, And given back the peace of child
 hoods day: And on the lips the faint smile almost
 said: ''None knows nfe's secret but the
 happy dead" So gazing where she lay, we knew
 that pain And parting could not cleave her soul
 again And we were sure that they who saw
 her last, In that dim vista which We call the
 past, Who never knew her old and laid
 aside, Remembering best the maiden and the
 bride, Had sprung to greet her with the
 olden speech, The dear sweet names no later lore
 can teach. And "Welcome home" they cried. and
 grasped her hands; So dwells the mother in the best of
 lands.

THE UTAH DITCH SUIT
Putting in Evidence fer the Inter-
 Venor.

Another day was occupied by the tes- timony for the plaintiffs and inter- venor yesterday in the case of Thomas p Biggs ct al vs the Utah Irrigation Ditch company ct al. Or rather by tes- timony for the intervenor, since most Of it went to show that the Indians, in behalf of whom the government inter vered, had been in enjoyment of the use Of water ol their lands from 1877 until the certificates on which the water had been delivered, had been noated down to the so-calIed new set tlement. These certificates, as has been explained, were never really in pos session of the Indians, but had been held in trust for them by the ditch company.
 The principal witness of the day was W. A. Daggs. at present the owner of one certificate, though at one time he had four more. It was brought out on cross-examination that he had rented these certificates to persons whose lands lie under the Consolidated canal. He was asked how water could be delivered there if the contention of the plaintiffs were sound, that the cer- tihcates belong to the land for which the original appropriation was made. MT. Daggs said that it could not be consistently done, but that use of the certificates was as consistent as their employment for the delivery of water along the Utah Extension, whose un- deriyins lands were not included in the appropriation. He had merely been trying to get even with the holders of certificates on which water was de- livered along the extension.
 Several Indians from the reservation of sections 35 and 56 are attending the trial accompanied by Agent Elmer Hadley of Sacaton.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 21.-Senator NJ. A Hanna of Ohio was here today hold ing conferences on business matters with officials of the River coal com bine. He was interviewed at the Du- quesne club and said:
 "The country is in excellent shape. It is not always possible to arrange to meet a speculative scare, but there is money sufficient to accommodate the business world. The present financial trouble has nothing whatever to do with actual conditions. It is simply the result of overspeculation and will not be serious, I am confident. It cannot be in any way attributed to the republican policy.
 "The senate will pass the currency bill and I do not think it will require very much time. On our side there are not many speeches to be made and | do not think the democrats will talk to delay action.
 'I do not care to discuss the Quay case. There is no truth in the report that the administration is anxious to intervene to end the fight.
 'Ii has always been the custom that
