NOW LOOK OUT!

Iake care of yourself" say our friends.

care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. Thew
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
lnfiammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave M

prevent the engagement of blood in the

other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly

The Worst Paved CITY.

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city in the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into loose bed
OF sand form roadway which is al
ways dusty in summer and muddy in
autumn. and in many of the roads
there is no attempt at roadway Of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned
The city is regarded by the Russians
as the holy city," probably because of
the large number of monasteries it con-
tains. 1t was once the capital of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
OF being considered the capital of the
INTERIOR but there does not seem to be
any particular desire on the part Of
the authorities to make it more worthy
of it's title.

No Pegs.

Beerbohm Tree had comical e,
rience on his first appearance as the
corpulent Falstaff. In the last act he
had arranged that Falstaff, disconcert-
ed by gibes and buffets Of the fairies
IN Windsor forest, should make one
herculean effort to climb the oak tree.
The pegs that were to serve as sup
ports for that tree were always con-
spicuous by their absence. On the
morning before the performance Mr..
Tree was told they should positively be
fixed on the tree. The morning came.

Such an ejaculation, spoken more in

was dress rehearsal, but still no pegs
could be seen. Mr.. Trees form auiv-
