Russian Public Houses.

A remarkable scene was witnessed q
few years ago, when the car of Russia
ordered that the private manufacture
OF vodka tthe national drink should
cease, and that the business should be
taken over by The state and conducted
on temperance lines. The new state
monopoly was in%auguFated In a re.
markable way. Priests attended at all
the drinking shops by official com.
mand. and conducted special services.
The public houses we're dedicated TO
God, and prayers offered that under the
new regime drunkenness might be
abolished and the spiritual welfare Of
the people improved.

There is a saying, however. that an
EngliEzman drops his morals when he
crosses the equator. That is pretty
rough on those who live here down

o literally than to hint at the infu.
ence OF climate on character. There
is nothing new in that theory, at least
since the days of Buckle. The idea
usually held, however, is that it is
only a climate of rigorous cold that
can breed good men. On that ground
Canadians can look TO the future ui
their race with confidence, knowing
that the virtues of energy, industry,
determination and hardihood will in
splre the generations yet unborn, But
the tiercest and longest winter does
not call forth that grim courage, pa.
tent determination and unbreakable
hopefulness which alone can carry a
man safely through a seven-year Aus
tralian drought.
There are, | think, few settlers in
Canada who would stagger solidly on
like an Australian when he saw his
sheep dying by thousands and not a
blade of green or a drop of water on
his holding. Even for the city man in
his office it needs more resolution and
concentration of mind to do a heavy
DAY work in a muggy atmosphere OF
100 degrees than it needs to face your
widest winter storm. Yet slowly but
surely, as the generations follow each
other, this southern sun will wither

in the Longing gait of those you meet

come TO Australia all comment on the
easy-going way in which business is
conducted.
People not only do not hustle them.
selves, but they do not bother their
heads about anyone who does. Often
one has to make repeated calls on a
man to settle a matter Of business that
might easily have been arranged In
five minutes. Punctuality and dis
patch, however, are not Australian
qualities. No person goes 10 work be-
fore nine o'clock in the morning, and
many business men, like the fountains
In Trafalgar square and the clerks in
the foreign office, play only from ten
to four o'clock. 1t is all very well for
the new chum to laugh at this, but
after a year or two he may find that
he, too, has lost the secret of the
strenuous life.
OF course If Australians were wise
they would adapt themselves more
than they do to the peculiarities OF
their climate. A noon siesta Is just a.
suitable to Australia as it is to Spain
or Italy OF India. Far more could be
accomplished in the day il business
was begun in the early morning and
suspended during the heat of the day.
But, shackled by custom, the Aus
tralians keep not only to the old Brit
ish working hours but to plum pud-
ding at midsummer Christmas and the
conventional silk hat and frock coat
for street wear. But though they may
stubbornly defy the climate in these
respects, they cannot resist its more
