Meals In Russia.

Among the common people there is
no fixed time for eating meals. The
Russian eats when he is hungry, and
this is about six square meals day.
He has at least a dozen lunches, lit
tie bit of salt fish or some caviare or a
piece of bread and cheese, washed
down with a nip of fiery vodki. He
never passes a station without a glass
of tea--marvelous tea, with thin
slice of lemon floating in it. You get a
fondness for Russian tea and for
swear bemilked decoctions forever.
The table manners of the Russian
such as you see in hotels and buffets-
are not pleasing. He sprawls with
outstretched elbows on the table and
gets his mouth down to his food rath-
er than raise the food to his mouth.
He makes Objectionable noises in his
throat. He has a finger bowl and
rinses his mouth as the rest of us do
when cleaning our teeth in our bath
rooms. Then he squirts the water back
into the bowl. In time one may get
used to this.

The Civil War Mortality.

Commenting on the loss of life in the
civil war from various causes, General
Francis V. Greene says in Scribner's
Magazine:
"How paltry seem the 5000 killed
and wounded in the war of 1872 or
the war in Mexico or the war with
Spain compared with the $4,000 at
Shiloh, $4,000 at the Chickahominy,
1900 at Antietam, the same at Fred
ericksburg, 10000 at Charlottesville,
$4,000 at Gettysburg, 10000 at Chick
amauga, $1,000 in the Wilderness and
10000 at Spottsylvania! The grand
aggregate of destruction fairly stag

The Neither Limbs as an Index to the
State Of the Mind.
There are many indexes to the mind,
but learned of new one the other
day when called to see a busy man at
his office down on Broad street When
I entered the outer office, it was quite
evident that he was in, for / could see
him through an open door leaning over
his desk quite intent on papers that
lay in front of him. l spoke to the
clerk in attendance. whom know real
well, and asked that he announce me.
He glanced into the other room before
speaking.
'sWait minute or two" he said. 1T
will be better, for he will have you
come in the moment l say you are
here"
didn't quite understand what he
meant, but took seat to wait a min
ute or two. l waited five of them and
then spoke again.
"Wait until he crosses his legs" an
swered the clerk.
"What has that to do with it," |
asked.
Everything" he replied. Gle doesn't
like to be disturbed when he is busy,
and l know he is very busy because
he has his legs out straight. A man
never thinks hard with his legs cross
ed. AS soon as his mind let's up a
little, then he straightens, crosses his
legs and is ready for visitors and a
chat. When his legs go down again,
it is time for the visitor to take his
leave. Just bear that in mind and see
if l am not right"
AS he finished speaking up went the
legs. and was announced and receiv-
ed at once.-New York Herald.

Strawberries.

Why are they called Strawberries?
Smart men differ on that. Some say it
is on account of their hollow, strawlike
stems. Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or SINH
lar protecting material in winter. The
most classical explanation is that our
Anglo-Saxon forefathers used to raise
them and they gave them this name
because the berries are generally on
the ground-that is, ''strewed" or
"strawed" around.

washing Away the Earsn.

A French geologist has made care
full calculation of the amount of solid
matter yearly carried off into the ocean
by the action Of the rivers of the world
and other causes. He estimates that
the reduction Of the average height Of
the surface of the solid land is .006
inches each year. Making allowance for
the corresponding rise in the bed of the
ocean and taking no account of the oc-
currence of volcanic and other excep-
tional phenomena, the general tenden-
cy Of which is to hasten the process
of disintegration, the period at which
the solid land will have ceased to exist
and the surface of the earth will be
covered with water has been esti-
mated. AS, however, that period is
100000 years distant, the prediction
need cause no immediate disquietude.

LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.
Increase of Output in United States
 In a Decade.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The census office has just issued a spe- cial report on the manufacture of loco- motives during the census year.
 During the census year 2774 locomotives of all classes were built at the twenty eight establishments whose chief product is locomotives. This output had an az gregate value of s2l121,OeS. In addition PIP locomotives, valued at $32T6,393, were constructed at twenty-six railroad shops making a total of 3O4o locomotives, valued at $3O S97, 456 built in flfty-four establish- ments during the census year.
 In 1890 there was built 2409 locomotives, at an average value of $Si99, while the 2774 built in 1900 averaged s9777. This in- crease is due in part to changes in size and construction. The increase in the number built Is attributed mainly to the foreign demand for American locomo- tives, the number exported in 1900 being 525. compared with 16l in 1S90
 Figures are taken from the records of a large locomotive establishment to show the increase in weight of locomo- tives since 1890. In that year the aver age weight of locomotives built in the particular establishment selected as a representative works was s2,0O0 pounds, engine alone exclusive of the tender. In 1900 the average was 129.000 pounds The average weight of the locomotive and tender at this same establishment was 15Sb34 pounds.
 The growth of the export trade in American locomotives is noteworthy. In the year 1890 there were exported l6l To-

He would take absolutely no risks with horses, and required the most extreme precau- tions to be observed before he would submit himself to a carriage ride. l remember several years ago that MT. Blaine was to visit our city of Mil waukee, and I was in charge of arrangements for his reception and entertainment. One of the prominent liverymen of the town came to me and offered free of charge the services of a magnificent team of six white horses to draw the carriage or MT. Blaine I accepted the offer, and when the statesman arrived at the depot es- corted him to the street, where the team and carriage were waiting. was about to hand MT.

comotives, valued at $1,2S0.6 COG. In 1900 there were exported 525, valued at s5, 592,- 403. American locomotives have found their way into all parts of the world, hav- Ing proved their superiority over every type of foreign locomotive with which they have been brought in competition. The large export trade is due to several causes. While the efficiency and the ex- ceilence of material and workmanship of the American locomotive are important considerations in many cases, questions of price and speedy delivery have been determining factors.
 By building in large numbers locomo- tives with perfect interchangeability of parts and employing ,labor-saving ma chinery of the highest efficiency, Ameri- can manufacturers have been able to construct en zines at lowest cost and in less time than any other builders In the world.
 Eight days is probably the shortest time in which an engine has been built, starting with the raw material and con- structing all the parts, but an engine has been assembled and erected ready to run in twenty-four hours.
 The twenty-eight distinctively lccomo- tive establishments are distributed as follows:
 Pennsylvania 3, New York 4 Illinois Ohio B. New Jersey and Virginia each 2, Alabama, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Rhode Island each l. The average number of wage-earners em- ployed during the year in the Pennsyi- vania establishments was 9374 and the wages paid aggregated s5,50S. 1881. The value of the output was s16.946,525. In New York the average number of wage-earn- CTS employed was 4S70, wages paid $2,660, 000 and value of output s9,492.S91. These figures do not include the worK done in railroad shops.

HE CAPTURES SEA LIONS.
Novel Occupation of Captain MuIIett
 of Detroit.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Capturing sea lions Is no easy business, but it's worth money to the man who has sand enough to do it, says Captain James R. Mullett, of Detroit, who re- turned home recently from a six months sea voyage after the slippery king of the waters With Captain Mullett was his wife, who accompanies him on all his expeditions. They came up from Buff falo on the Western States, having come direct from Europe by way of New York. This last voyage netted Captain Mullett forty lions, which he has disposed of in the geological gardens of Europe and cities in this country.
 Last March Capt. Mullett left Detroit for the Northern Pacific ocean. With him he carried an order for three sea lions for Belle Isle park. But way out in the Pa cihc ocean he received word that the commissioners estimates had been turn ed down and the order was cancelled.
 He is an old seafaring man and some thing of character His principle busi- ness is catching wild animals for exhibi- tion purposes; but he has done things in his many years of hard work, from sell ing steam engines to running a news paper.
 On reaching San Francisco Captain Mullett sailed to the coast of Mexico and cruised about for a time. Then he started in for a season of sea lion catching, and lassoed two-score. big ones. The sea lion is found principally on the rocks along the coast of Mexico and southern Cali fornia. The lions weigh anywhere from 300 to 5000 pounds, and the ones caught on this trip were handsome specimens. On his return to San Francisco he started east across the country to fill his orders and dispose of his surplus supply. He sold them at Denver. Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and New York City. Then he went across the ocean and dis posed of the rest in Europe. Among the zoos there which now have his sea lions are the Regents park in London, the Jardin des Plantes in Paris and the zoos in Antwerp, Frankfort -the-Main, Co., logne, Amst erdam and Rotterdam.
 Captain Mullet is making his home while in Detroit at 110 East Adams avg nue. He will remain in Detroit during the winter, and will start early in the spring to the Pacific for another catch of sea lions.

Alabama Politics.
Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 "The ultimate fate of Alabama is to land in the list of republican states" remarked Hon., Oscar Hundley of Huntsville. Ala, at the Ebbitt house. MT. Hundley is one of the prominent lawyers of his state, gentleman of wealth and position, and strong can didate for United States district at torney.
 q do not believe this will come about" he continued, until the dem ocrats carry out their pledge to give the people fair election law. Until they do the case is hopeless because under the present system democratic election officers can make the result just what they want. The prospect, however, is altogether encouraging, because in Alabama, as in every other part of the United States, there is a constantly growing sentiment in favor of honest elections. Sooner or later the old, vicious way of counting out men who have been fairly elected will be done away with and justice will supersede knavery at the polls."
