Beauties of Russia's Capital.

Whatever color there is in 81. Peters
burg has the advantage of a clear at
mosphere. Nothing but wood is burned
in the stoves, and the air is as free
from smoke as that of Paris; the houses
are clean there is none of the CRIME
and dirt of London. The streets, also,
Notwithstanding the execrable pave
ment, are wonderfully well swept.
Every householder is bound TO keep
the street clean before his W front,
and does it to a marvel. From a sani-
tary point of view ST. Petersburg is
anything but an ideal city. But for
street sweeping il takes the prize. The
colors of the houses differ greatly.
Some are white; others, including
many of the palaces, a curious shade
of yellow; very few r red; the ma
jority are of the ordinary stucco gray.
1t is in the roof that the color comes
in. In place of the red pantiles Of
Holland and the slate of London, st.
Petersburg covers its roofs with iron,
which il paints red, green, chocolate,
as the case may be. The effect is good.
In winter all this diversity Of color is
lost beneath the universal pail OF
snow. From the roofs the rain is con
Quoted 10 the pavement by spouts of
the most extraordinary dimensions.
You could easily drop a baby down
most Of them, so immense is their
capacity. There is no system Of main
drainage, and the water from the roofs
is conducted by these downcomers TO
the foot paths. 1t never rained all the
time ! was in town, SO / missed the ex-
perience. But in a heavy downpour
of rain the torrents from the spouts
must make the sidewalks impossible.

Dancing in British Honduras.

The etiquette of Santo Toribiro ball
rooms is peculiar. The ladies sit around
the room, their multiplicity of stiff skirts
making them look like so many Dutch
cheeses, while the men remain outside in
groups until the dancing is about to
begin. When the first strains of the
marimba-mournful and despairing as
the wall of a lost soul-announce the
opening of the ball one of the sandaled
and hated gentlemen advances to the
middle of the floor, on the way thereto
carelessly nodding to the charmer of his
choice, and she leaves her seat and goes
to face him, standing a few PAGES dis
tant. Then they perform a rapid zape-
tero, scarcely moving the body, though
their feet are flying like mad, for all the
world like a pair of jumping jacks, ex-
ecuting all manner of pigeon wings, jigs
and double shuffles. When she gets
enough of dancing she returns to her
seat without SO much as an adios to the
gallant; while he, without stopping for a
moment in the everlasting Jig, mods to
another lady to come and play Joan to
mis- Darby. He is expected to keep on,
without an instant's pause, until the
music ceases, and often it is continued a
long time, as a test to the young mans
endurance.-Cor. Philadelphia Record.

you have an extraordinary number Of
people in America with bad teeth and
poor eyes, and read that there are
more dentists and oculists in the United

You drink iced water with hot food, and
his spoils your teeth. You strain your
sight by reading fine print at the wrong

such habits, take care of your eyes and

Electric Power from Coal.

The direct conversion of heat into cleo

tax the ingenuity of the electricians.
What seems to be the most promising at
tempt at solution yet made is a new
electromagnetic generator and motor
devised by NJ. Menges, of The Hague.
Like the recent pyrO-magnetic dynamo
Of Edison, it depends on the fact that the
magnetic metals lose their magnetic
powsF when heated. It claims several
important advantages, however, the chief
being that the necessary alterations OF
heating and cooling are given automatic
ally, and that the cores Of the armaturO
coils are relieved from changes Of tenn

A Few Philosophical observations from
the Pacific Coast.
II some clever old inventor would
only find some patent kind of q brake
that we could put on time when we
are growing old and stop its precipi-
tate course down hill! Idoubt if the
old man who has lived riotous youth
and filled the cup of pleasure to the
brim finds half so much pain in age
and iniirmity produced few years
earlier by that means as the old fell
low who has pinched and saved and
lived sober and virtuous life, hop
ing when fortune came to 'go IN and
make it up" Every thing in nature
is against saving. The supply of its
gifts is grei ter than there is any use
for. if only there were no middlemen be-.
tween us and nature charging heavy
profit The world grows infinitely
more than is needed to feed every
body in it, but yet there is hunger and
starvation and distress aud poverty,
And in the meantime the wheat ring
holds the granares full and the
secondhand clothing stores are stuffed
with clothes, which never seem to get
out even at reduction, and only
man saves himself time and money.
only to find that somehow he has not
as much fun out of himself, his time
or his money as he might have had.
Give us few years longerl Stop the
years for a little rest at twenty five or
thirty and give us chance to enjoy
ourselves between youth and old age.
We do not want those few odd years
so much when we are approaching
the grave. and that seems to be the
place most people get them added on.
