A" rv NATIONS AND E RINKS A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE USE OF CERTAIN BEVERAGES. America and R nun fa Am Widely Aitnct In th Consumption of Cot fee Hot Italy and England Differ In the lae of Tea, Beer and Wine. Xntions differ in whnt they drink far more than lu their dress or speech, the size of their armies or the amount of their national debt. In their use of coffee, for example, the American and the Russian offer as great a contrast as an octogeuarian and a year-old balie. On an average, the American drinks as much coffee la one day as does the Muscovite In elrdily days. In the consumption of tea, bei r and wine the English and the Italians differ to a Btlll more startling degree. In one day the average Britisher sips as much tea as eighteen hundred Italians, and In the same length of time lu swallows enough beer to keep tho ave uge Italian snpplled for six months. ? et,- in wine drinking the Italian shows that he can equal eighty-four John Bulls. According to the lntost statistics of the department of cowmen e nt Wash ington, it appears that the American Is fairly tomperato when con pared with some of liis European brothers. He drinks less beor than the llnglishraan, the German or the Austrian. In the use of spirituous liquors he fails still further behind and finds himself out classed by the Austrian, the Hungarian, the German and tho Frew liman. He also ranks fifth among tho -nations as a wine drinker. The Frenchman, the Italian, the Austrian and vhe Gorman go ahead of him. The American, fnr more than many Europeans, seeks refreshm 'lit and re newed energy in the "cup vhich invig orates, but does uot intoslc.de." Coffee and tea are Ids favorite be1 ernges. On an average he drinks more coffee than the native ot any country of the old world, and when classed with Euro peans he Is surpassed only by the Eng lish In his use of tea. The comparative temperance of the American, furthermore, would seem to be little endangered by the great Immi gration hither nt the present time of Russians and Italians. In the use of Bpirlts the Italian is at the very bottom of the list of Europeans. He also drinks less beer than any of his neighbors. He drinks considerable wine, but it is a wine than contains little alcohol, and even In this category he falls some dis tance behind the French. Tho Russian ranks sixth In the consump Ion of spir its, and he drinks one-thirtl th as much beer as the Englishman. I o also uses so little wine that not even an estimate Is obtainable of how mu-:h he does drink. Should an American, on Hngllshman, a Frenchman, an Austrian, a German, an Italian and a R'issl.in s't down to a table together and order drinks in a quantity that would show the relativo consumption of these be .erages by their respective peoples, i-onie would get enough for a bath, liile others would obtain only a few swallows. If they should take tea, for Instance, the Englishman would find himself con fronted with 1,800 cups, the American with 400, the Russian with 27.,, the Gorman with 30, tho Austrian with 20, the Frenchman with IS and the Italian with only 1. If the tea should prove unsatisfac tory and tho party order beer, the Eng lishman again would prove himself the heaviest drinker. He would bo found to rank considerably ahead of the German, who Is generally supposed to swallow most of tills beverage. He would get 175 glasses, wh le the Ger man would take 150, the Austrian 100, the American 00, the Fre-.ichraan 67, the Russian 5 and the Italian only 1. In case the weather should turn sud denly cold and the little assemblage de cided that "something hot" would be better and every one order spirits, the Austrian would then outclass all the others. Nevertheless h( would not flistance his rivals to any g -eat extent. It would bo found that llqusr suits tho taste of the various drinker far more evenly than any of tho othe? beverages ordered. The Austrlnn would, for ex ample, take 9 glasses, the German J, the Frenchman 5, the American, the Englishman ond the Russian 4 (though the American's glasses would contain a triflo more than the English man's, and the Englishman's "a bit" more than the Russian's), while the Italian would satisfy himself with 1. Should the liquor prove too hot with out a weaker drink afterward and all ngree on wine for their farewell toasts the Frenchman would then "outswal low" his companions. His order would call for 100 glasses, while the Italian iwould content himself with 84, the Austrian with 17, the German with 6, the American with 1 glasses and the Englishman with 1. If at the end of this convivial scene the party should think some coffee would steady their nerves, the Amer ican would at last be found in the lead. He would ask for 60 cups, while the German - would order 82, the Frenchman 21, the Austrian 10, the Italian 0, the Englishman 8 and the Russian only 1. New York Tribune. Nothing -Wrona- on Hla Bide.

In October, 1887, the sacred bo tree, at tlint time supposed to bo the oldest living vegetable monument on the earth's .surface, was uprooted and de stroyed by a cyclone which swept over the Island of Ceylon. The oldest writ ten description of the sacred bo tree now In existence is that by the cele brated Chinese historian, Fa Ulan, who visited the Island and the sacred tree In the year 414 A. D. According to this learned Chinaman, the tree was nt that time 702 years old, having been planted In the year 288 before our era by King Devlnlplatlssa. As soon as it was known through out the Island thnt the tree bad been destroyed by the fury of tho elements great crowds of mourners gathered around Its "sacred remains" aud held regular funeral services for two or three weeks. After the season of mourning was over the tree was cut Into proper lengths, each piece wrapped separately In white cloth and cremated with the same fjneral rites which would have been given a mem ber of the royal family. So perished the sacred bo tree, one of the most wonderful natural growths known to the world a tree which had been worshiped dally, one might al most say hourly, for 2,175 years. THE CHOICE OF MATES. Artlflelnl Mntrlmonlal SeTeellon Ifna Given 'ior It en.nl ta. No one knows what type will be the best for survival In nn unknown future environment. We often see the ex tinction of families of parents whom any physician would have pronounced Ideal, but their children lacked resist ance to the Invasion of pa.hogetiic or ganisms or there was some other de fect which made them easy targets for climatic causes of physical decay. On the other hand, we quite often find thnt parents below par physically have fine families. The curious unions which take place must be the result of laws such as we find In every biologic phenomenon. Man luts the same In stinct found In lower animals to select a mate who Is more or less different from himself. Should like types mate, their com mon characteristics may lie so exag gerated ns to be harmful and the line perish. It Is an instinct of those of great intelligence to marry those of less thnn the average, for the offspring revert to the better average. It Is very evident that If we try to Improve the race intellectually by the marriage of like types we will violate the niiMrnl law upon which our existence is based.

Speaking of London costermongors, Mayhew says: "The man who does not wear his silk neckerchief his 'klngsmnn,' as It Is called is known to be In desperate circumstances." The neckerchief Is more prized than any other item of his attire and a coster's caste is at stake if his kinginim be not of the most approved pattern. Tills habit Is derived from the gypsies and doubtless dates from some long forgotten oriental custom. It Is very curious that a taste for similar colors prevails among the Hindoos, gypsies and coitermongers. Red and yellow are the favorite colors and the oldest. Of tlirv-o, the coster chooses bis plush wnlstcnnt nnd Jils klngsmnn, the gypsy his breeches and his wife her shawl and gown; the Hindoo his robe nnd turban. If a fight occurs, the favorite colored nr tlcle of dress receives tl'e greatest cure. The pugilistic corter ties his klngsmnn round his waist or. his leg, where, by the rule of the ring.

In a wedding sermon entitled "The Rib Restored," preached lu St. Dlonls Back church, Feuchurch street, lu 1055, by Richard Meggot, afterward dean of Salisbury, the preucher thus defined a good wife: "A help she must be In her family, being not only a wife, but a housewife uot a field wife, like Dinah, nor a treet wife, like Thiunur, or a window wife, like Jezebel, but a housewife." And another preacher about the same date, the Rev. Simeon Singleton, said that a wife should be at once like and unlike three things. "First, she should be like a snail, always keep within her house; but she should not be like a snail, carry all she has upon her back. Secondly, she should be like an echo, to speak when she is spoken to; but she should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. Thirdly, she should be like the town clock, always keep time regularly; but she should not be like the town clock, to speak so loud that all the town may hoar her. T. P.'s London Weekly.

It Is a well known fact that If the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly tho old ones will feed tliein atten tively if the cage In which the little birds are Inclosed Is placed somewhere where the parents can reach It, and a popular but. erroneous belief Is current that they do this for a time, and end by poisoning the young ones.

ITow Telephone Llnea Are .Moved From One Snltehbonrd to Another. "Cutting over" is the technical phrase applied to moving the wires lu a telephone central ollice from one switchboard to unotlier. If you will reflect thnt ninny of the swltchhonrds of the type ustnl lu the Bell exchanges of large cities carry 11,1100 lines, you will see what a task transferring such n mass of wires Is. Indeed, there nre few mechanical operations which more Impress one with a senso of absolutely perfect forethought and organization. : When nn exchange is to be "cut over," all the outside lines coming into It, both overhead and underground, are tapped and practically connected with the new board vhllethe old one Is still In use. That is to say, they are brought Into the main distributing frame, which Is the big rack through which the outside Hues are separated and linked to the proper Inside lines which run directly into the switchboard nud terminate in the "jacks," by means of which the operator is enabled to put any two subscribers into communica tion. The opportunities for confusion and mishaps in this work are evident, and It speaks much for the painstaking care wllh which It is done that n subscriber is practically never "lost," ns the tele phone engineer calls It, if one of the lilies is temporarily nilsconnected. To secure such perfection Innumerable tests are necessary not only of the out side lines, but of every switchboard line, and those nre conducted over a long period so as in no way to disturb the service of the subscriber. The operators are thoroughly drilled in the use of the new board, and when It comes to the actual performance of "cutting over," which generally takes place some hour In the night when business is nlwuys light, both boards have if full force to work them. The final step is to cut the old connections and complete tho new ones at the same instant. This is usually done by pull ing out from the board to be abandon ed the heat coils which nre put Into every circuit In the distributing frame as a protection to the apparatus against an overload of electricity from light ning or from the crossing of wires, or what not, and simultaneously pushing coils Into the mechanism that replaces it. So rapidly can skilled men perform the operation that one of them can put 600 or 70(1 coils in n place In thirty seconds, ami the whole process of "cut ting over" in n large ollice occupies not more than two minutes.- 'I hero Is no In terrupt ion of service, however, for one group of wires is dealt with at a time, so that no circuit Is out of commission more than half a minute at the longest.

Tliey have a novel method In Slam of getting rid of the bodies of paupers nnd criminals. In one of the temples is kept n flock of n hundred vultures, and the bodies, instead of being burled or burned, nre given to them as food. As soon as they catch sight of a body the rapacious creatures gather around it, and it only takes them n minute or two to pick nil the flesh off It. A repugnant sight It is, but, accord ing to Siamese physicians, It is nn ex cellent sanitary measure.

An essential property of matter, but which does uot commend Itself to su perficial observation, like those of ex tension and resistance, Is indestructi bility. So far as experiment aud ob servation can discover matter can nei ther be created uor destroyed. Ou the surface facts seem to contradict this assertion, for any particular portion of matter may be decomposed and resolv ed Into Its constituent purls so Unit it seems to have disappeared, because the form under which we knew It Is no longer present. In reality, however, no diminution iu the quantity of existing mutter has taken place. One proof of this Is easily afforded by comhustlou. If we allow a piece of wood or coal or any combustible solid body to "burn nway," there will, as we all know, be ashes remaining. If while the combus tion Is going on we take means to pre serve uot only the ashes, but also every part of the body which would ordinari ly be dissipated, as smoke and steam, and then weigh all the different sub stances, solid, liquid or gaseous, that we have obtained, we shall find tho combined weights equal to the original weight of the body Itself. The I'lllory In Fnelnnd. It is diliicult to realize that as late ns June 2(1, 1830, so barbarous a pun ishment as that of the pillory was still Inflicted.

Origi nally, like most mediaeval punish ment, It wns Intended more as a dis grace than ns a bodily discomfort, but a crowd that would watch all night to gloat over a public hanging iu the morning naturally did not spare the victims of the pillory, who sometimes died from the treatment they received.
