Ways Of the Russian Hotel.

son tells of the somewhat primitive
arrangements Of even the modern ho-
tells.
For our ignorance Of Russian we
had the privilege of paying over twice
the legal fare for our drive to the ho-
tel. The porters obligingly arranged
the matter and quite cheerfully kept
the difference. We felt at home at
once. The rooms have double win
dows sealed with putty, which are nev-
er opened from the beginning Of win
ter till the spring thaw is in the air.
As there are no open fires, the only
ventilation is from the slightly better
air of the corridors. Your true Rus
sian, having a taste for much tea or
other warm refreshment, rings for a
lighted samovar and prepares his own
beverage, IL he is not fortunate to
possess a wife to do 1t for him. With
the lady managing fiery, fuming
samovar and her lord smoking innu-
merable cigarettes, with perhaps Wis
itor to help, one can easily imagine
not forgetting the Theoretically sealed
windows-the atmosphere in which
some worthy Russians go to bed"

Honorable Career Rewarded.

Professor Luigi Pagliani, who repre-

University of Turin, and was founder

EPITAPH CAUSES PROTEST

Protests are being made by resi-
dents of Morrisville, Pa, against the
shaft at the head of the grave of Sam
uel McCracken, because the inscrip
ton reads:
IF politicians and priests all go to
heaven. then l am bound to stop at
some other station"
Beside his grave is that Of his wife,
with headstone which reads: "She
died firm believer in Christ, her Sa-
viour."
McCracken died in 1862 and made
contract with the cemetery owners
that his tombstone should never be
disturbed. A legal way to remove the
shaft is being sought. because its in.
scription is considered sacrilegious.
Many Revolutionary war soldiers are
buried in the cemetery.

As Women PIay the eame.

Two Kansas City sisters we're max
ing a round Of calls a few days ago
There were many TO be made. and
whenever there was nobody at home
and cards could be left with the maid
there was that much gained. One
OF the sisters smiled contentedly
when the callers. as had happened
several times that day, were informed
that the prospective hostess was
not at home. The other sister re
pressed the smile severely.
"You mustn't look so pleased when
we don't find them at home," she
said. as they went down the walk,
they may be watching us out OF the
window"

IRONING WITH THE FEET.

One of the most curious sights
which I beheld in Cairo was men iron
irg with their feet, says a writer in
the Wide World Magazine. They had
not been mixing their drinks; 1t is
simply a custom Of the country. These
men were employed in the native tail
oring establishments. Except for q
long iron handle, the irons were
shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only
larger A solid block of wood rested
on the top Of the iron, and on this the
men placed one foot, guiding the iron
in the direction desired by means of
the handle. For the sake of convent
ence the ironing boards were raised
only a few inches above the ground.
The men ironed with great rapidity,
and, however strange the method may
seem to our ideas, 1t certainly does
the work very well and expeditiously

ETHER AS A DRINK.

1t is not generally known that ether
is a popular drink in Ireland; almost
as popular, one might say, as whisky
pale ale or stout.
On the authority of a contemporary
it is stated that in the County of Lon
donderry there are cabarets where
ether is sold exclusively and these ca
barets are so abundant that the strong
aromatic odor of the anesthetic is
quite noticeable in the streets. Here
are some figures: A Dublin dealer
sends to Belfast each year about 2O0,-
600 hectoliters of ether while from a
London druggist $4,000 hectoliters are
imported annually.
Two cents, or an English penny, is
the price of a slass

According to the London Globe the
efforts to acquire Alma Tadema's
house as national possession were
never very energetically supported
doubtless owing to the non-success
that attended previous attempts in
the case of other artists Of note.
1t is, therefore, not surprising to
hear that they have failed, and that
the house will shortly be offered for
sale by public auction. 1t is much to be
hoped, says The Globe, that this may
not lead to its dismantling, but that
Its purchaser may be one who will be

PerIIs Of OverdeIIcacv.

A bridegroom gave his best man an
envelope.
Hand It to the parson after the
ceremony" he said, but don't do it
ostentatiously."
The best man followed instructions
but 1t seems that he performed his
task too covertly, for the father of
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed that an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed a
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretive about it.,
and before the party broke up the
brides brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
