WALKING AS A TONIC AND PASTIME.

Walking says Omega, which also means standing erect, with shoulders thrown back. lungs expanded and head well poised, is the best tonic that can be prescribed for exhausted brains, weakened muscles and worn out nerves. I strengthens the digestive, organs, drives the blood away from the tired brain, and is one of the best cures for nervousness.

There is no better way of enring rheumatism than by a walk in warm weather. You have all the advantages of the Turkish bath without the danger of breathing impore air. Physicians have cured the worst kinds of rheumatism, stubborn forms of indig stion, aggravated cases of insomnia and all sets of nervous disenses, by exercises in breathing and walking,

There is a famous medica! man of Munich, ↑ who has formulated a system of breathing and walking by which asthmatic patients are taught to walk without using breath, while sufferers-from-weakness of the heart and ner- vously exhausted persons are cured. No matter how long the walk or how steep the climb, no one nee"get out of breath" who follows this simple system, the breathing and walking being in time together.

la ascending a stair or path one should take ene breath for every step, and the fuller the breath the better. In walking along a level stretch, one should take two steps to every breath, thus the inhalation and exhalation always begin as the shme foot touches the ground.

That fired feeling which walking brings on is natural, and in a few weeks' practice one is able to walk a mile or more without fatigue. The walking is of itself a recreation and a great help to the development and preservation of physical symmetry; its tonic effects are mticks better when one walks correctly and at regular | times.

In order to walk correctly, one should stand quite crest, and breathe in a proper manner, then swing the left leg from the hip. By so doing the muscles which are strongest bear the strain, and the length of the stride is increased! several inches. The heel touches the ground. first, and not the toe, and a slight spring is given from the ball of the foot to aid in making another step.

THE EXCAVATION OF UR.

|

An expedition is now being formed to ex- cavate Ur, and it will be under the direction of Dr. E. F. Banks, who was recently United States Consul at Bagdad. The work will be undertaken for the benefit of the Smithsonian Institution. Ur ties half way between the ruins of Babylon on the Persian Gulf, says The Outlook, "and is six miles south of the River Euphrates. Ur was a great city long before the time of Abraham, and according to the book of Genesis, Abraham was born there, as was also Samh. The Hebrew people emigrated from Ur to Syria. The great temple Gish shirgal, the home of sin, or the moon god, is the best preserved of any of the speciments of Babylonian architecture which still stand. The British Consul, Mr. Taylor, made some excava tions a half century ago, resulting in the dis- covery of the inscriptions of the King Nalonidus. which speak of the crown princes, the Bel. shazzar of the Bible. The inost modern town in Babylon is Nasaria and it is only half a mile away from the ruins, and the inhabitants are beginning to dig bricks from them, destroying the tablets and defacing the inscriptions. The present appearance of Ur is that of three stories of an ancient temple rising 70 feet above the plain; surrounding the temple is a group of inounds balf a mile in diameter. The rain of -the city is called, in the Bible, Ur of the Chaldeans. The estimated amount required for the complete excavation of Ur in two years. is $50,000,

An innocent mania of the present time in France is to celebrate all manner of annivers- aries. A little while since a great deal was written in French about the centenary of the high hat of the chimney pot" type, but a topic of later interest was the centenary of the meer chaum pipe. It was just about one hundred years ago that the strange substance in nature called meerchaum by the English (in imitation of the Germans) and ecume by the French, was first employed in pipe making. The French word is simply a translation of the German one meaning sea foain, and it was originally written in full ecuiné de men. It is no secret nowa- days that the substance is pure silicate of magnesia, but the absurd notion that it was petrified sea foam was long clung to by the public with remarkable pertinacity. There can be little doubt that the Austrians and other Germans who were the first to apply It to pipe making, did nothing to destroy the fable concerning its origin. It was their inter-Hate, M.

THERAPION.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricard, Rostan, Jöberi, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a. medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis easca. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bonchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious! affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much. a. fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin
