Pretty Girls in St. Petersburg.

There is much good, Ido believe, in the Russian character. They are a laborious, long-suffering and easily-con-tented people. But they are, on the whole, and with rare exceptions in the low ranks an ill-favored race, small and puny, with remarkably plain features and dingy, sallow complexion. Very strict orthodox, I dare say, but ugly Christian withal; ugly men, uglier women I One may walk about these streets day after day and never meet with what in other countries would be called a pretty face. And it was the same in St. Petersburg, where the only splendid type of girl I met was at tbs railway terminus when on the point oi starting for Moscow, and even she, faultless as she was in face and figure, had a milk-white complexion without a shade of that pink which would so naturally have become her early youth.— London The New York Clipper lately cited the case of Capt. Jacob Schmidt, of Tompkinsville, Staten island, N. Y., who had been a great sufferer from rheumatism for many years. He used St. Jacobs Oil with splendid success.
