RUSSIA'S POSTAL STAMPS,
Russia's system is worked, on different lines from, the British, owing to the vastness of the land to be covered. It is easy to understand that in a country af, Russia's dimensions it would not pay to run the postoffice mail routes into every little nook and corner, says the Westminister Gazette. The imperial post determines a fixed route for its mails. All districts which are not that route are permitted to establish miniature posts, which carry letters to the nearest station on the route of the imperial post. These posts are organized and worked by the local municipal governments, which issue the stamps for the purpose. These posts were authorized by an edict dated Septem. ber 1, 1870, 10 carry local letters from one point in the district to another, and also 10 take. fetters to and froin the nearest Office of the Goverment postal service.
With their characteristic, fondness for vivid colours, the designers of the rural stamps have made them of many trues, and it they are not particularly artistic, they are decidedly highly coloured. Some of the results are, in conse quence, often absurd in the eyes of a Briton, but it must be admitted that some of them are admirable specimens of the engraver's art,
The stamp of Tiraspol would vle with a matchbox label in point of size. Two penny English stamps could be laid side by side on the top of this philatelic giant and still not cover it completely. Tiraspol is a district in the province of Cherson. The stamp is a marvel of the designer's art, and is printed in no fewer than five colours, namely, gold red, black, green, and yelbig. In it the Russian eagle is summounted with a cross printed in gold, the arms of the municipality of Tiraspol are shown below the Russian standard, and the inscriptions indicate that it is a "Tiraspol rural stamp."
A curiously mystic looking stamp cones from Tikhvin, in the province of Norgarod. The design shows a sub, printed in gold, and a band of silver on a shield of red and blue. The outer frame is in lack. This handsome stamp is printed in five colours. Another illus tration is at a stamp from Outsysotsk, in the province of Vologda. Ti shows a typical local landscape, in the fore-ground of which stands a shaggy bear, whose gaze is fixed upon some unseen prey. The stamp is a pretty one, being printed in three colours, red, blue and brown, the last named colour being reserved for bruin, the typical animal of Russia.
INTERFERING WITH NATURE.
Under the title "A Curious Human Dozu.
ment," Dr. Robinson in a recent North American Review shows how nature may make mistakes when she is working under influences controlled artificially. The "Document" he refer to is a corn or bunion, which he takes as illustrating his contention. Dr. Robinson says
If we would understand how this odd per version has been brought about, we must, firstly, bear in mind that the period during which man, by, completely encasing his feet in hard boots, has beconic a sort of amaterer ungulate, is very short indeed compared with the immeasurable ech during which he wore no foot-covering at all. In those ancient days, also, when every man was a hunter who had to pursue game afoot-and was in danger of star- vation if he did not succeed-pedestrianism was of much greater importance in the economy of life than it is now. Secondly, we must re- member that little or no change has taken place in man's physical framework since those remote times when he was an absolute savage. Thirdly, nature's methods of meeting physical emer. gencies, as applied to man, are appropriate, not to his recent and as yet brief environment of civilization (and boots), but to the state of universal bootlessness which prevailed through out the long stone ages."

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY,
THERAPION.
This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobett, Velpenu, 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
cases.
In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis; asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacions, 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 inercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the bady.
