Tips In St. Petersburg.

Speaking of high prices, Henry Nor mans book on Russia throws some in tercsting light on what 1t incidentally costs to visit St. Petersburg. To begin with, he tells us every house and hotel there contains q swarm of servants and each one expects tip. The man who takes your coat and hat at prl- vate house thinks 10 cents little enough, and ie you give dollar or two to the attendaht who performs the same mod est service at an official residence he Is only satisfied. The tips of wealthy Russian to a waiter at q good rcstau rant are something enormous. A dc. cent room in first class hotel costs about $4 day, and closed carriage to take you to dinner, ten minutes drive away. costs SJ. A few sheets of note paper in your hotel costs you q shilling and the cheapest kind of bath $1. St Petersburg is far aud away the most expensive city in the world.

A WEAK HEART.
HnI Climbing or Stair MOuntina
 VIII Strengthen the Organ.


 VIII Strengthen the Organ.
 It is not many years ago that the be. lief prevailed that sufferer from heart disease was in constant peril whenever he moved and that the nearer he approached absolute rest the better 1t was for his heart. This is still true in respect to certain forms of heart dis case-those due to actual disease or de. generation of the heart muscles-but when the disease Is in the valves, as it is in the majority of cases, the modern teaching is that properly regulated eX erclse is beneficial. This is founded upon the common sense view that the heart Is like other muscles in that it can be strengthened by exercise to meet increased calls upon 1t.
 When the valves of pump get out of order, 1t requires greater force to move given quantity of water. If this force can be applied, 1t will make up for the defect in the valves. The same principle holds good in the case of the diseased heart; the valvular de feet must be made good-"compensa ton" Is the medical term for this proc ess--by increased strength in the heart muscle.
 The heart must be able not only tu meet the ordinary, everyday extra strain-this it does automatically, as 1t were, by the unaided efforts of nature but fl must be stronger than neces- sary. just as 1t is in health, to meet some extra strain caused by illness, a sudden nervous shock or some abso iutely necessary eXertion. It is evident, therefore. that diseased heart must to assure the safety of the patient be strengthened beyond the requirements of quiet life.
 This is accomplished in various ways, but none is better for the purpose than hill climbing or stair climbing, the for. mer for pleasant days, the latter for bad weather. The exercise should, of course, be taken under the direction of physician. for it can easily be over done, in which case one of the bad con. ditions against which it is the objecr of the exercise to provide will be arti- ficially produced and the heart will be overtaXed before 1t is strong enough to withstand the extra strain.-YOuth's Companion.

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 its 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.

THE BULLFlGHTER.
plcsprcsque, Self Conscious and the
 Popular Hero of Spain.

You could never mistake bullfghter for man of any other calling. He enforces upon himself street costume the details of which are as immutable as those of a soldiers uniform. His hair must be brushed forward over his ears, he must be smooth shaven, he must wear tiny pigtail, his jacket may not come below his waist line, bis shirt is deeply fluted, and in it's front he wears as magnificent diamond as his earnings and the gifts of his admirers can supply. When he walks the streets on his high French heels, glancing self consciously from beneath his fiat brim- med sombrero, he is followed on every side by pointed fingers.
 To sit with him at cafe table is a distinction. and the youngest of Mad rid's golden youth flush with pleasure when in public places he mods to them. At the fashionable hour in the Prado they give him the seat of honor in the automobile. It Is survival of the re- lutions of the patron" and the gladl- utor. And in return for this social rec. ognition, when Sunday comes, the mat adore before he kills the bull bows to the box in which his rich patron sits and throws iiim his three cornered hat and by so doing fills with envy the hearts of 15.0O0 men.
 What the effect his fame, his sllken calves and his cloth of gold have upon the women of Spain has been sung by generations of poets, playwrights and novelsts of bis own country.-RicharC Harding Davis in Scrihner's.

 A great many women suffer with form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary medical treatment. While the symp- toms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medi- ciacs universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patients normal condition.

 Middle aged and old people and those whose blood is contaminated and tainted with the germs and poison of malaria or some previous sickness, or excessive use of mercury, are the chief sufferers from chronic sores and ulcers. While the blood remains in this unhealthy, polluted condition healing is simply impossible and the sore will continue to grow and spread in spite of washes and salves or any superficial or surface treatment, for the Sore is but the outward sign of some constitutional disorder, a bad condition of the blood and system, which local remdies cannot cure.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia
 one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu- monia always results from a cod or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy eounteracts any tendency of these dis eases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit conf dence Pneumonia often results from slight cold when no danger is appre- hended until it is suddenly discovered fhst there is fever and difficulty i'll breathing and pains in the chest, then 1t is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. II al- ways cures. For sale bv all druggists.
