TIPS In st. Petersburg.

Speaking of high prices, Henry Nor
mans book on Russia throws some in
teresting light on what it incidentally
costs to visit ST Petersburg. To begin
with, he tells us every house and hotel
there contains swarm of servants,
and each one expects tip. The man
who takes your coat and hat at q pri-
vate house thinks 10 cents little enough,
and if you give dollar or two to the
attendant who performs the same mod
est service at an official residence he is
only satisfied. The tips of a wealthy
Russian to waiter at q good restau-
rant are something enormous. A de-
cent room in Il first class hotel costs
about "a day, and a closed carriage to
take you to dinner, ten minutes drive
away, costs So. A few sheets Of note
paper in your hotel costs you shilling
and the cheapest kind of bath 81. ST.
Petersburg is far and away the most
expensive city in the world.

American Manners.

The ordinary Londoner who has not
had the good fortune to cross the At
lantic is wont to picture his American
cousin wearing goatee and victim
to the constant chewing of tobacco and
liberal expectoration. On arriving in
New York he is amazed to discover that
the goatee is Conspicuous by its abb
sence, tobacco chewing unnoticeable
and expectoration practically unknown.
In this respect he finds the New Yorker
far more Clearly I'm his habits than the
Londoner, more especially on public
cars and in public places. The unre-
strained indulgence of splitting on and
off the tops of buses and in railway
trains and the random chewing and
smoking Of tobacco In and around Lon
don are simply odious and make trav-
cling intolerable and ofttimes disgust
ing even to a smoker. Here the strange
prohibition against splitting in public
places and the sensible regulation as to
smoking are so thoroughly observed
that travelling becomes a pleasure. If
London would only copy the most adj
mirable example existing in New York
In this respect, the English metropolis
would soon be rid of most unwar-
nntable and filthy habit.

A man talks about owning his bust.
ness. But, as matter of fact his bust
ness owns him. His whole life is regu,
lated by the demands of the business.
The time at which he rises, his break
fast hour. the time given to meals, are
all determined by business obligations.
He rushes through lunch because he
cant spare the time from business" to
eat leisurely. He won't take rest be-
cause he is needed at the store or Office.
He is in fact an absolute slave to bust
ness. The results which follow this
slavery are to be seen on every hand.
Men dyspeptic, irritable, nervous with
drawn faces, and hollow eyes, sit at the
desk or stand behind the counter until
they collapse in fit of sickness, or are
taken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exactions of bust
ness will find a friend in DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t strength
ems the stomach, increases the action of
the blood making glands increasing the
vitality and physical vigor. 1t makes
men strong and prevents those business
break downs which so often terminate
fatally.

pETRoIT's OPPORTUNITY.
Offered Coal Mine That viii Quickly
Pay For Itself.

Offered Coal Mine That viii Quickly
Pay For Itself.
Detroit, Mich. Jan. 15.-It may be
Authoritatively stated that Mayor May
bury has been offered, by a man whose
responsibility is as undoubted as the
Bank OF England. a coal mine now in
operation ON the Pere Marquette rail-
road at price which, placing coal at
"a 25 per ton, would In three months
pay for the mine. In other words, the
coal can be laid down In Detroit, all
royalties and expenses paid, for a
price not exceeding So 20 per ton. The
owner of the mine, which Is now pro-
ducing 200 tons of screened lump per
day, has place for the money he asks
for the mine, and that Is why he makes
so favorable proposition. The low
est the city has been offered coal is
81 IS per ton, and at that figure the
mine in question would pay for itself
in about three months.
Those who understand the situation
think the mayor will either have to
shoot now or give up the gun, as this
proposition puts the city in possession
of its own mine and entirely free from
any action of the operators.

Too LOGICAL.

Mr.. Blank, head of the great business
of Blank & Son, regularly scanned the
attendance book, noting punctuality or
otherwise. His son was the greatest
offender, and he wrote across his en-
tries, "Mr. George Blank keeps very
bad time"
Mr.. George, "bluffing," appended to
this remark, "Time was made for
slaves" and laughed much among the
higher employees at his wit.
On the LIST of each month the cashier
handed each employee his check in a
sealed envelope. Mr.. George was al
ways eager for his, having expensive
tastes Of all kinds.
On the next payment after his re-
joinder he opened his envelope and
found a slip of paper on which was
written: "Time Was made Cor slaves.
fime Is money. But Mr. gorge Plank
Is not slave, therefore lac requires no
money"
Mr.. George, who was a university
man, avowed that despite his former
studies he found this proposition too
logical for him. LOnd5r fi tronh

Bare Feet and Earth.

There is nothing like having both
feet on the ground, says Medical Talk.
If man should go barefoot the con-
tact of his bare feet with the earth
and his head projecting into the at
mosphere would make perfect cleo
trical conductor, through which the
electricity of the air would pass
through his body to the earth. While
no apparent harm is done, yet, being
insulated from the electricity of the
earth by wearing shoes, the electricity
fails of it's beneficial result. There can
be no doubt that it would be better for
everybody, especially nervous people,
If their feet were on the ground instead
of in shoes.
