A QUAINT INN.
London Tavern That Attracts Gus
tom by Its Unusual Regulations.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Just off busy Bishop gate, London, in a
small and somewhat "slummy" street,
there stands a public house remarka BILE
for the fact that in it one is allowed 10
nave only one drink and no smoke
Inc proprietor of this quaint hosiery
obviously worthy citizen seeing that he
himself invented, so to speak, this original
system of doing business, has been in the
occupation of the house some twenty odd
year.
Thither go all sort and conditions of
men, from the silk-hatted city man to the
railway porter warehouseman, or mere
messenger. All have just their one drink
and go out Nor is it possible to trick
the proprietor by ordering, say, a bottle
and calling it zone drink
No; his one drink means a certain meas
ure of beer, wine or spirits, and that a
moderate one. On the wall of the one
bar, wherein all and sundry are served
alike hang the printed rules of the es-
adjustment in a frame.
They set forth how that the proprietor
deeming that he may conduct his business
as he thinks best and having at heart
the cause of temperance, begs to call at
tention, etc Then follow in numbered or
der the several rules. Before the Gus
toner can have a second drink he must go
away and stop away for at least thirty or
forty minutes.
One result OF the strictly enforced rule
against smoking is that the atmosphere of
the bar is wonderfully clear and fresh. OF
course, no persons is served should he ap-
pear to be even so slightly under the IN
fuence of alcohol. The result is perfect
order and a subdued quiet.
The hours of closing, too, differ from
those of other houses in the trade. Eleven
O'Clock shaTR sees the house shut up five
nights of the week. On Saturdays the
hour is Y. and on Sundays 10.
To this house the chief rabbi grants his
special permit every Pentecost TO sell
kosher rum to those of the Jewish COM
munity of the neighborhood.
OF course, over and above the regular
customers, many people are attracted to
this inn out of pure curiosity. The sight
seeing and novelty hunting American finds
it out in his rambles. Should the curios-
ity monger, however, try to coax the men
servers behind the bar into a breach of
their stern law he is courteously refused.
They are never caught mapping, try them
ever so often.
The list of carefully compiled rules con-
Guides with an invitation that such Gus
toners as do not care to conform thereto
are respectfully requested to transfer
their custom to some other establishment"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
