DRUNKENNESS IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Authorities Are Planning a Fight
Against the Vice.

Owing to the prevalence Cf drunken
ness in the Russian army 1t has been
decided to abolish the traditional gift
of glass of vodka on certain, gala
days and replace it by glass of eau
casian wine.
Gen. Keppeu afflrms that 20 per
cent Of the crimes committed by sol
diers are done when under the influ-
ence Of alcohol. Another authority
goes as far as 95.4 per cent Twelve
per cent. Of the confirmed drunkards
in Petersburg began to drink in the
army. The reason for this Is said to
be the excessively low temperature
(ten degrees Reaumer) in the bar
racks. The commissariat try to econ
omize." 1t Is conclusively proved
that in one Of the Petersburg bar
racks, where six pools (28 pounds) OF
wood a da! are assigned for heating
the building. only 80 pounds, or one
NTH is used. The soldiers are cold,
and therefore try to warm themselves
with vodka.
This reform, II It may be 80 called,
will cost the government, which hasI
the spirit monopoly, a goodly sum.
One regiment alone spends over 25,00O|
rubles annually on vodka. II this is|
replaced by wine private people will
get the benefit of the change. But as
one general remarked: You can no
more teach a Russian soldier to do
without vodka than you can teach .

hope Of fighting successfully against

The discovery has been made In

dcles OF modern feminine dress, &C
cording to the, Paris correspondent OF
the New York Times. Mime. Paquin

To prove his points M. Bois had pho

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms OF poor paint, after 1t has
been on awhlle-after its inherent ten
dency to crack and peel and scale and
blister, etc, has developed into trouble.
You know these paint diseases" usu-

know the only remedy is repainting.
A little knowledge Of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
make sure Of the purity and quality
OF materials, would prevent all trouble,
and save the big extra expense Of re-
painting; just as a proper knowledge
Of simple health-laws, and observance
Of them, prevents sickness.

Truffes and How They Are Found.
From the New York Press.
..,eaa a.. 49,. R,,x


The common truffe is a sort Of fun
gus growing entirely Underground and
is called the ground mushroom" There
are many kinds, all poisonous except
one M. Salmi said: The edible truf-
fe in form is irregular, roundish or
oblong, in some degree like an i'll
shaped potato, varying in size from
that Of a hazlenut to the bigness of a
mans fist. The outside is black, dark
gray OF brown, covered over with a
thick, hard, wartlike skin; the inside
flesh is firm, rather soapy to the feel,
and has a Melted, cellular veiny appear
ance Of a light brown or dirty white
color clouded with gray. 1t is prin-
cipally used to give a flavor to sauces;
but it also is eaten plain boiled or
roasted, or boiled in gravy with oil, salt
and pepper as a seasoning"
In England, Spain, France and Italy
trufie hunting is a vocation followed
by thousands. Dogs are trained by the
hunters to do most of the work. The
French poodle is famous for his skill.
In Italy the usual method Of finding
truffies Gin Italian "tartufali," and in
Latin "tubera terrae') is to tie a cord
to the hind leg Of a pig and drive him
along, observing where he begins to
root. One trouble with the pig is that
he eats the truffie, whenever he gets a
chance; whereas the dog is only happy
in retrieving. Fresh truffles bring
about IS a pound. Those we get in
tins, packed in Oil, are not fit to eat.
