Count Tolstoi at Home.

Count Tolstoi, the famous Russian novelist, neither drinks, smokes, nor sats meat. It is his boast that he does not possess a single article he could possibly dispense with, and he has even refused ta receive a bicycle as a present, on the ground that it is a luxury. His recreations are chess and lawn tennis, at both of which he is adept.
