The Winter Palace, says st. Peters

has probabl the most valuable furnish
ings, jewels aud works of art of any
building in the world. 1t is two full
blocks or squares in length, and is
almost as wide, therefore covering from
four to six acres. 1t is of brick, stone
and marble, three stories and a base
ment, and is altogether worth in its
completeness more money than all the
government buildings at Washington,
including the United States Capitol. 1t
contains tons upon tons of gold and sill
yer, barrels OF diamonds, rubies and
other precious stones, carloads of valu-
able pottery and chinaware, miles-20

and harness decked with diamonds and
costing untold millions. l walked FIVE

Hot Water to Relieve Thirst.

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as rule, increase the
feverish condition of tho mouth and
stomach, and so create thirst. Expert
ence shows it to be a fact that hot drinks
relieve thirst and ''cool off" the body
when it is in an abnormally heated con-
dition better than ice-cold drinks. 1t is
far better and safer to avoid the free
use of drinks below 60 degrees, in fact,
a higher temperature is to be preferred ;
and those who are much troubled with
thirst will do well to try the advan-
tages to be derived from hot drinks,
instead of the cold fluids to which they
have been acustomed. Hot drinks also
have the advantage Of aiding digestion,
instead of causing debility of the
stomach and bowels. -[Cultivator.
