The Russian Way With Thivos And Forks.

The Russians have on the table on each side of the plate a silver or glass bridge, on which they rest their knife and fork when not in action, at right angles to the diner, with the handles resting on the cloth and the points sticking up" into the air. Sometimes the implements fall off and deposit gravy and what-not on the cloth; but the Russians, a philosophical and fatalistic race, do not mind this much; and after a time the visitor becomes comparatively indiferent

The Russians have many other ideas which strike the stranger sa odd. When pouring out wine,. I found, they made a point of letting it slop over on to the tablecloth. This is regarded as the hallmark of hospitality, it shows that your. bost is not mean about his cellar. And, after inducing you to drink four or five vodkas, all deceptively watery in appearance but fiery in content, they lead you reeling into. dinner with the hearty remark:

Now let's have something to drink."

For the stranger in China there are worse traps still. Your host begins, for instance, by having glasses of tea served. At my first call on a war lord I made the mis- take of stoically drinking fire in succession, in the belief that I was doing the right thing. Imagine my horror and disgust on learning that the tea should be raised to the lips, but on no account consumed.

Caramonial That Induces Indigestion.

It takes time to learn these things; time too to acquire the right expression of gratified con- noisseurship on being offered dried rat, bird's-nest soup, and newly born white mice. (These last, ac- cording to Col. P. T. Etherton, should be dipped in treacle and swallowed whole like a prairie oyster.)
