GETTING DRUNK IN RUSSIA.

How They Deal With InUndestod Pewow in'a Cwtutry. A gentleman who has lived for several years in S£ Petersburg, Russia, gave to the St. Louis Qlobe-Jtemocrat the following in reference to the liquor traffic in that country: “There is no attempt at regulation, except that the Government police, politei, keep a sharp eye on all the vendors of vodki and other intoxicating drinks. The denier in Russian whisky is protected by the law and is answerable to the law. He dare not make use of his license to deal in vodki as a blind for robbery. Sueh things as you Americans call ‘dives* are utterly unknown there. No man can be tempted to drunkenness and robbery while in a drunken state without punishing the dealer, which means the deprivation of his license and a period of incarceration in jafl with hard labor, followed, in extreme cases, with a touch of the knout on his bare skin. The terror of this punishment makes each keeper of a vodki shop really a conservator of the peace; as soon as the liquor dealer, sees that one of his customers is likely to get violently drunk, he turns him out ou the street. And a man already drunk can get no more vodki.” “But suppose the drunken man kicks up a row, what then ?” “He is taken in charge by the police and down to the station-house. His punishment then follows as a matter of certainty. No matter whether he be rich or poor, whether he belong to the noble or the working class, he must serve eight hours in the street-sweeping gang. At 6 o’clock in the morning succeeding his orgie he has offered to him a lump of bread and a glass of whisky. He may or may not accept of the proffered municipal hospitality, but when 7 o’clock strikes he has to go out on the street gang, and with broom and spade make the Nevskoi Pewspekt, or any other street he may work on, as clean as a new pin.” “But do they make no difference between gentlemen and workmen?” “None whatever; yet there is a difference generally. The gentlemen who are found drunk on the streets at night usually have black clothes. They are marked on the back with a great white Greek cross, a cross big enough to be seen half a square away. The moujik, or workmen class, who, at least in summer, are found with their dirty white shirts coveiing their, shoulders, are marked with an equally-conspicuous black cross. This is the only difference, and, if a gentleman be with white or light-colored clothing on him, b# gets, also, the black cross. They are all classed as drunkards, and treated without reference to their rank.” “But you said these men have to do eight hours’ work on the street. Do you mean tnat they are kept eight hours without any rest ?” “No; the street-sweeping gangs are accompanied by wagons, which carry the tools, something like your hoodlum wagons, and they also carry provisions.' At 12 o’clock noon each gang is halted, and from the wagon is offered to each individual a second lump of bread, accompanied by a Dantzig herring. This luxurious fare can be eaten or left, just as it suits the principal parties concerned. The moujiks all grasp at the offered food; occasionally you will see a gentleman indignantly spurn it. But all have to go to work again as soon as the gong sounds, and they must work three hours longer. At the end of the eighth hour the wagon comes along and gathers up the tools and material that belong to the Government, and the order'is given to the drunkards to scatter. They go off; they have been thoroughly punished for the indiscretion of a night, and the streets of St. Petersburg benefit by the indiscretion.?

Married in a Great Hurry.

“The quickest courtship on record,” said one old resident, was that of Dr. Nick McDowell, who, driving along the street in his buggy one day, saw a beautiful girl standing at the window. He immediately stopped and hitched his horße, rang the bell, inquired the lady’s name, was ushered into the parlor, announced his- own name, said he was ‘ pleased with her* appearance and wished to marry her at once.’ Nothing but the knowledge that she was actually in the presenoe of the celebrated physician kept her from fainting. To her plea of * surprise at this unexpected announcement’ he only replied ‘ Now or never.’ When she asked to ‘ take a week to«oonsider ’ he said, * I am going down street to attend a critical case and have no time to spare right now.’ Give me a day, then.’ * “111 tell you what I’ll do. When I am through with this professional visit I’ll drive around and get a preacher. If you’ve made up your mind to marry me by that time all right.’ And he left her, breathless and unable to articulate another word. When he returned they were quietly married. *No cards.’ ”

Avoid Repetitions.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, says he admires newspapers, because they avoid repetition, get into the heart of a subject, and put it before their readers in -a clear, terse style. The Senator gives a bit of personal experience, which we oommend to those who would acquire the ait of public speaking. He says, “I experienced great difficultjv when I first entered the Senate in avoiding a repetition of a sentence. “It was my habit in my qtump speeches frequently to refer several times, in the course of a speech, to anything that I considered aagood point I wanted to beat it in the heads of my listeners, as it were. • I got into the Senate, where every word I uttered was taken down, I found that JL had to be more careful. “I horrified to read one of my speecher in which I noticed I had repeated an entire sentence six times. I found that might do in If Orth Carolina, but it would not do inf he Senate."

Rising Stock.

A friend of mine, who dabbles considerably in stocks, walked into a wellknown banking-house and created considerable excitement by remarking, “I got a pretty good thing when I bought that, last winter. It was at 34 then,

and to-day it stands at 95.” “Well, I should say so,” exclaimed the senior partner. “But what stock was it?” “It was a thermometer,” coolly replied my friend. It didn’t cost thejtjoys anything for lemonade that day.— Boston Times.

Heads, Hands and Feet.

The degeneracy of the human race is with some people a cherished article of faith, not to be lightly parted with, and many are the facts by which this foregone conclusion has been temporarily sustained. Very recently, for instance, it was said that the heads of English people were growing small by degrees, if- not “beautifully less.” Upon this point the testimony of hatters was approximately unanimous. Thirty years ago the average size of hats was considerably larger than now, and the conclusion followed that heads must have been also. A little discussion, how-* ever, showed that the conclusion did not necessarily follow from the premises. Hair is cut shorter than it used to be, and the method of wearing hats h<m changed also—they are nowadays not pressed so far down on the head. The two facts together explain the mystery without making that profound plunge into physiological details and the laws of life which was at first suggested. Next comes an outcry about gloves and hands, but here again not nature, but fashion, must be held accountable. People have developed a fancy for thrusting large hands into small gloves, and so long as they can strain a glove across the back of the hand many persfins appear to be satisfied, no matter how badly the fingers are accommodated. This is, of course, very absurd. In the first place it is bad for the glove, which has only a certain amount of “stretch” in it, and when this is exceeded something must give way, either the stitches or the leather, or "both. Then again, an over-tight glove is uncomfortable to wear and ugly in appearance; and, looking at the subject in all its aspects, there is positively not a single gain to balance the disadvantages. The fact, however, remains. Messrs. Dent, Alcroft & Go. inform us that the sizes formerly kept in stock were from 7i to 10 for gentleman’s gloves, and that they never thought of making anything smaller, except to special order. Now the sizes range from 7to 10, with an incraasing demand for the smaller sizes. In ladies’ gloves the smallest size formerly kept in stock was 6s, now s£s are kept. They have further found' it necessary to issue circulars calling attention to the increasing practice of wearing gloves too small, .and the consequent multiplication of complaints of the gloves giving way; naturally, neither shop-keepers nor manufacturers can be expected to hold themselves responsible for gloves destroyed in this manner. So, after r all, it is not hands, but gloves that are smaller. The latest story of, this kind is that feet are diminishing in size. A cotemporary says; “It cannot have escaped the observation of the trade hatt in ladies’ goods there is a decided tendency to wear boots shorter and wider than was formerly the case,” and suggests “that it is possible, with Inference both, to hands and feet, that we are developing smaller extremities.” We can well believe in any amount of distortion in the ladies’ feet, as a consequence of the idiotic boot-heels which have been fashionable for some years past; but most probably the fact, if it be a fact, referred to by our cotemporary will be as readily explained when it is examined as the questions of hats and heads and gloves and hands have been.— Drapers’ Trade Journal.

He Didn’t Relish the Blamed Joke.

“I have a good joke to tell you,” said an Arkansaw Colonel to his friend the General. “The other day, you know, Higgins announced himself as a candidate for Judge. Well, I met him, and told him that you made fun of the idea, and declared that he didn’t have sense enough to serve on a Coroner’s jury. He is a notorious coward, you know, but he became furiously angry. Now, here’s where the joke comes in. ‘The General,’ I saidj ‘is the biggest coward in the world.’ ‘ls that so?’ Higgins asked. ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘and what you want to do is to meet him and thrash him. He won’t fight you, and you’ll have an easy victory.’ Everybody that is acquainted with you knows that you are a brave man, General, and when the joke gets out we’ll have a good laugh.” Several days afterward the Colonel again met the General. “Hello, General, what’s the matter with your eyes and nose?” “Your blamed joke. You know, you told that fellow Higgins that he could whip me. ” "Yes.” “Well, if he didn’t do it.”

Not Quite Satisfied.

“You say you are from New York?” queried an old farmer in Massachusetts of a New Yorker, who had halted at the farm-house to ask for a drink of buttermilk. “Yes.” “Do business there ?” . “Yes; I’m in Wall street. I am a broker.” “Broker, eh? Do niuch breaking?” “Well, I’ll leave that to my customers to decide. I do the best I can, however.” “Well, you look as if yon might be respectable if you had a chance,” said the old farmer; and turning the corner of the house he called out to his wife, in a voice plainly heard at the gate; “Say, Mariar, here’s a feller from New York who wants a glass of buttermilk. He looks all right and I guess he’ll pay cash down, but it won’t do any harm to thin it down pretty well with spring water.” — Wall Street News.

Put His Foot in It.

According to the “Asiatic Researches” this phrase derives its origin from a custom in Hindoostan; when the title to* land is disputed, two holes are dug in the ground and used to encase a limb of each lawyer, and the one who tires first lost the case! In this country it is generally the client who “put his foot in.”

London Monopolies and Scandals.

This city—if twenty municipalities working independently side by side can be called a city—comprises the most terrible monopolies in the world. Something like ten square miles are built solidly upon land which is the absolute property of three inen—the Duke i>f Bedford, the Duke of Portland and the Duke of Westminster—and this is the fashionable West End of the city. They own the whole of it. Nobody else owns a lot, except the crown property, the palace and abbey .of Westminster and the parks and royal palaces they inclose. These Dukes not only own tine land, but they own whole square miles of the buildings on the land, winch have fallen to them at the expiration of long leases; and these “improvements” are now dropping in at the rate of $50,000 a day. Nobody knows how much these men are worth —their inedme. is fabulous. There is no map of their possessions. And yet they are not happy. The heir to one of these vast estates is a gambler and debauehee, who has spent millions; and last year, it is said, his father paid off $250,000 of gambling debts for him. During the last year, too, another spendthrift, the Duke of Hamilton, sold Me library and pictures, and the sale attracted great attention, even in America. The sons of these titled magnates can run in debt, and they can, when in extremity, sell their great picture galleries, their libraries, their palaces, their horses, and even their jewels and their clothes; but they cannot sell or even mortgage the splendid estates which they will have by and by. One of the richest noblemen in the realm was defendant in a divorce suit three or four years ago, and his wife obtained the divorce from him on the twin grounds of brutality and infidelity. Thereupon she was permanently banished from court, and will never have another chance to present her respects to the Queen, while the husband’s status is uninjured. This is one of the incon-. gruities of British law. There are other incongruities. The season here is in the heat of summer, while society goes to the oountry and to the seacoast in winter! Parliament sits in hot weather, and begins its sessions at 7 p. m., and oontinnes all night. Both teams and pedestrians turn to the left instead of the right; the people look upon ice as a wicked American invention, and whenever I ring the bell for the chambermaid, up she comes with two jugs of hot water. — W. A. Croffut’s London letter.

Poisoned by Paper.

Paper-hangings are convenient and ornamental,but carelessness and a false, lazy economy in using them make them unhealthy and dangerous. To put on new paper over old, thickness after thickness, for years, is more hazardous than the neglect of the man who put on a clean shirt every week without taking off his dirty ones, until he had six on his back at once. There was a very handsome house near one of our provincial towns which could never keep its tenants, and at last stood empty and became worthless, because a detestable fever seized upon every family that Jived fn. It. A observer promised the oMerto find oitt the cause. He traced the mischief to one room, and presently conjectured what was the matter there. He let a slip of glass into the wall, and found it the next day dimmed with vapor. He tore down a strip of the paper, and found abundant cause for any amount of fever. For generations the walls had been papered afresh without the removal of anything underneath. And there was the putrid size of old paper an inch deep! A thorough clearance, and scraping and cleaning, put an end to the fever and restored the value of the house.—Exchange. .

A Boy with $10.

He was only 12, but he picked up a pocket-book with $lO in it, and with the rashness of youth started in for a grand debauch., He laid in $2 worth of cigarettes and then commenced sampling the lemonade at the bridge entrance. As everybody knows, there is a wild profusion of brands at that place. He tried them all. By this time he was excited and reckless, so he bought a quart of green apples and two decayed bananas and sat down •on the Astor House steps to enjoy them, aad then went and had some clam chowder. After this he proposed to go up to High Bridge and smoke cigarettes for a week. But he was interrupted by the Coroner at Eighty-sixth street, who took out of his clothes two pistols, a quart of peanuts, six raw tomatoes, one paper of chewing tobacco, four pounds of damaged gum drops, six tickets for a dime museum, three new iron pocketknives, a clay pipe, a dime song book and a pair of bathing pants. He was reported as a case of cholera infantum —but it was only extravagance. —New York World.

Expounding the Scriptures.

Little Sammy Peterby went to church last Sunday and did not behave himself as decorously as he should have done. His father, who is an Austin editor, rebuked him for his levity, but the little fellow insisted that he listened to everything'the preacher said. “Then, Sammy, I suppose you remember the text.” , “Of course I remember the text. I don’t remember the words, pa, but I know pretty near what it was.” “What was it, then?” “If a man smites you on the right cheek, smite him on the left, and fef such is the kingdom of heaven. ”-h, Texas Siftings.

FEE DAGGER OF OVER-EXERTIOIN.

A Stalwart Man Become* Weaker Than a Child and Then Baeorers Bit Benner (Waterloo (N. T.) Observer.] la these days of rowing giants and athletic heroes fine physical development is more observed than ever before since the time of the Athenian games. A man who shows the elements of physical power is looked op to far more than in the days of our ancestors* possibly because there are fewer specimens of well-developed manhood than then. An emissary of this paper met a magnificent specimen of physical power a few days since in the person of Dr. A. W. MoNamea of Waterloo. His muscles, which showed unusual development, were as hard as wood, At his request the writer sought to pinch him in the arms or legs, but found it wholly impossible. A realisation of what is meant by an iron man was fully made manifest “Have you always been so stalwart as this?” Inquired the news gatherer. “Not by any means, u was the reply. “When a young man I was always strong and active and felt that I could accomplish anything. This feeling so took possession pf me en one oocasion that I attempted to lift a box which four men found it impossible to move. 1 sucoeeded in placing it on the wagon, but in two minutes from that time I was unconscious and remained so for hours, and when 1 recovered consciousness I vomited a large quantity of blood. Fiom that day I began to grow weak and sickly. 1 belifeved that 1 had suffered from internal injury and experienced a general debility, which seemed si miliar to the effects produced by malaria My back was very weak. I had no appetite, and at times loathed food. My lips were parched and cracked. My head felt as though it were entirely open at the top and it pained me on the side intensely. In six weeks’ time I had fallen away from 208 pounds to less than 170. I was in a most wretched condition. I was completely discouraged. ” *'Wuat aid the doctors say about you?" “Almost everything. I consulted no less than six different physicians. They all treated me and none did me any good. At that time I was suffering intensely. 1 could not sit upright but was obliged to rest in a cramped, uneasy position. 1 was compelled to urinate every five minutes, and 1 passed over three quarts every day. I was not living, 1 was existing. “One night (how well I remember it!) my wife had put the children all in bed when the feeling came over me that I should live but a very short time. My wife and I talked matters ail pver and I gave the minutest directions as to what she should do after I was gone. I was not in a flighty condition by any means, for the doctor, on leaving town the day following, bade me good-by saying'he never expected to see me again, for I was suffering with Bright’s disease of the kldneyß in its iast stages. Within the next few days more than twenty friends came to bid me good-by. Among the number was Dr. John L. Clark. He asked me what I had used m the way of medicines. 1 told him. He then recommended a remedy of which I bad heard much, but about which I was very skeptical If faith were an element of power it certainly was lacking in my case.” “And so you did not iry it?” “On the contrary, I did try it and to my surprise it seemed to go to just the Bpot. Indeed, it was the most palatahie th ng I had taken into my mouth for months. 1 relished it.” “And did it cure you?” “Do I look as if it did?” *Yes, indeed. What was it?" “Warner’s Safe Cura” “A proprietary medicine?” “Of couxsa What of that? I suppose I once had as great a prejudice against advertised medicines' as any one could hava When I was studying medicine at Ann Arbor, Mich., I used to vow with tire rest of the class that we would fight all such remedies at all times. When a man comes down to the last hour, however, and bids his wife and friends good-by, such bigoted prejudices as these all vanish, 1 can assure you <aay remedy that can cure is gladly welcome<L” “And how have you been since then?” “As well —or better than before” “Do you still exert your strength?” “Certainly. But I do not over-exe rt, as formerly. Mv strength is increasing every day, and my health is number ona I know that my life was saved by Warner's Safe Cure, and I believe it is the best medicine that was ever compounded by any chemist or physician. I am willing the doctors should sneer at me for such a statement if they choose, but I have proven its truth, ana am prepared to stand by it ” The above experience should be of great value to all who are suffering. It showsjbhe deceptive nature of this terrible malady; that all symptoms are common to it and that there is but one Way by which it can be absolutely avoided.

NO REST DAY OR NIGHT.

In the fall of 1873 my Bufferings were terrible. 1 was swollen to such proportions that I feared my limbs would burst. 1 had the heat medical talent obtainable, and at the worst stage of my illness when my husband and many friends had gfirsn me up to die, the late Dr. John Woodbury made « thorough ' examination of my water, and pronounced my caa* acute kidney disease, bordering on Bright’s disease, and accompanied by gravel, and reoommeaded the immediate use of Hunt’s Remedy. At this time I was suffering most terrible pain in my back, limb* and bead, and could find no rest day or night for weeks, and I was growing weaker daily until this kind physician ordered me to take Hunt’s Remedy. Before *«xie|r half of one bottle I commenced to improve, and, after taking six bottles, was entirely cured. This was nearly eight years ago, and 1 have had no return of the disease. I have recon) aided Hunt’s Remedy to others in similar cases, and it has never failed to cure. I have also used it for sick headache, and found in it a sure relief.
