ALGERIAN Drinking Custom.

An Algerian regiment will empty az
many as thousand pitchers Of wine
without losing half thimbleful OF
liquor. 1t is a system which permits
a general use of one vessel for drink
ing purposes in an absolutely cleanly
way 1t dispenses with cups or
glasses, a great convenience when
troops are on active service. A large
pitcher with a spout to 1t, filled with
wiAe, was passed from hand to hand.
Each soldier lifted the pitcher high
over his head and tilted it until the
wine poured in a steady stream into

A Paradise Of Toy-Shops.

The toy-shops are exceedingly nu-
merons in all parts Of Japan. Even
the smallest hamlets contain them,
and the boys and girls are plentifully
supplied with playthings from early
infancy. Large numbers Of people
make a living in the business OF
amusing children, and among tha1e
are street jugglers, acrobats, singers,
dancers, and story-tellers, and travel
ing puppet-showmen.
On festival days the streets leading

showing the gay toys, and with show
