PALACE OF THE CZARS. Baauties of Tsarskoe Selo, Built by Peter the Great. Tsarskoe Solo, the city some fif teen miles south of I’etrogrud where the former czur was accustomed to spend the Spring and where i ho peas ants seized the hunling pn erve of the deposed Nicholas, is a cautlful place. The city now lias a popu illon of 30,000. It was an insiguilica t village when Peter tlie Great preset-.led it to his consort, Catherine 1., and began the construction there of the great im perial palace. The palace was com pleted just a year before Peter.’s.death and was greatly beautified by his dulighter, Elizabeth Petrovna, in later years. Some of the most magnificent royal apartments in Europe are found in this palace, notably the bedroom of Marie Alexandrovna, consort of Alexander 11., with its opalescent glass walls, its columns of purple glass and its motli er-of-pearl Inlaid floor. The walls of another chamber are paneled with am ber; a third .apartment is decorated with silver; another has wonderful ta bles and chandeliers which glow with soft light of lnpis lazuli, and there is a ballroom which glitters with gold and mirrors. With all those sumptuous apartments at his djsposal, Nicholas 11. seldom oc cluded any of them, but preferred to live in a modest building no larger than the country home of the average well to do American. The extensive gardens and parks, embracing an area twenty-eight times as large as the United States capitol grounds, are among the chief beauties of Tsarskoe Selo. Picturesque grot toes, artistic bridges, charming arbors and delightful swan ponds are to he found on all sides, with here and there an artificial ruin which captivates the eye and quickens the imagination. Beyond the imperial guidons and grounds the streets of the \ ilage are broad and straight There m e several barracks and hospitals aud eight churches.—National Geographic Society Bulletin. GETTING THE FEET WET. The Part the Sidewalk Plays In Colds and Grip Epidemics. Thut a close relationship exists be tween sidewalks and grip epidemics is asserted in Good Health by Martin Nevins. Grip and colds, says Mr. Nev ins, are germ diseases. Gov. s are floating about us in the ; Wo breathe them in by the thousand. “But they are cowardly fellows. Once they get Inside a healthy body they retreat.” lie goes on: “It is only when one thing or anoth er disturbs our health equilibrium that the ‘hugs’ manage to gain a foothold in our system. It may lie injudicious eating, it may ho lack of fresh air, hut most frequently it Is some kind of ex posure-getting the feet wet—that lays t >se‘ fortress open to them. "It is not at all hard to get your feet wet. And that is where tbo sidewalk comes In. The ordinary sidewalk is a right hand assistant when you want ft cold foot bath. It is built fiat, without auy slope to drain It. “The condition is*aggravated if thero occurs a natural depression in the sido walk. Tho water runs into it and stands until it is dried or Is frozen. The natural result is a harvest of grip epidemics and any number of colds, bronchitis and lung troubles. And tu berculosis, too—this disease can often lie traced to sidewalks, since it usually starts with some simple lung affection. "We must .stop building flat side walks and make them convex instead, so they will drain easily, and elevate them slightly above the level of the ground." The Greatest Evil. The Persian author Saadi tells a sto ry of three sages—a Greek, an Indian, and a Persian—who in the presence of the Persian monarch debated this ques tion: Of all evils Incident to humanity which Is the greatest? The Grecian declared, “Old ago oppressed with pov erty;” tho Indian answered, “Pain with impatience,” while the Persian, bow ing low, made answer, “The greatest evil, O king, that I can conceive is the couch of death without one good deed of life to light the darksome way.” FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS »OR RHEUMATISM KIONrySANO 6LAOOEH
