ENQUIRER-SON: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12,1890.
Flttibm'i Favorite "fluVin,"
“Talking about that apology for a
smote the Pittsburg stogie reminds me
of a peculiar experience I had with that
article some yean ago,” said- an old time
cigar drummer at the-Cosiiinentai hotel
“I was traveling for a Philadelphia
horse that made a fine line of goods
only, and had met only with indifferent
success. I was loofnng forward to Pitts
burg as a kind of El Dorado, and im
agined sales of great magnitude in the
Smoky City.
“I arrived in the evening and immedi
ately started oat to interview the trade.
Abont the firs& place I struck was a pros
perous looking cigar store, bat I noticed
that among the stock the stogie seemed
to predominate. I presented my card to
the proprietor, talked np my stock and
firm to him in great shape, but did not
seem to be making any great headway.
The proprietor assured me that he was
fall np, but said he would look over my
samples the following morning if 1 would
step in. While I was talking to him and
endeavoring to prolong the conversation,
a gentleman walked in who immediately
impressed me as being one of the-solid
men cf the town. He had that unmis
takable sleek and well fed air of for
tune’s favorite. Walking np to the
counter he selected f-our stogies and
lighted one, laid down a five cent piece
and walked out.
. “‘Do you know who that is? asked
the proprietor of me. I replied in the
negative. ‘Why, that’s Phipps, Andrew
Carnegie’s partner,’ was the astounding
assertion. I was completely flabber
gasted. That was the mutest and yet
the most convincing argument I ever
had to withstand. Without a word I
closed up my grips and took the next
train out of town. I had come to the
very natural conclusion that if men
worth $20,000,000 took their smokes at
four for five I did not stand much show
with file plebeian smokers.”—Philadel
phia Enquirer.
Giving Canes Shape.
The cultivation of walking sticks for
the market has been taken up as a busi
ness at some places in continental Europe,
and special attention is often paid to mak
ing the roots grow into shapely forms for
the handles. A London manufacturing
establishment, the floor space of which
'covers nearly an acre, has extensive
storehouses filled with native and foreign
sticks, from which stock is drawn as it
is wanted from the shops.
The sticks as they grow are often very
crooked and have to be straightened. A
heap of sand is provided on the top of a
hot stove, into which the sticks are
plunged until they become pliable.
The workman takes the crooked stick
while it is still hot and inserts it in a
notch cut in a stout board, placed at an
angle inclined from him, where he bends
and strains it. When it has become per
fectly straight it is thrown down to
cool, after which it becomes rigid and
permanent in its lines. Heat is an im
portant element in this matter and pro
duces different effects on the several
kinds of wood, the degree of heat neces
sary to straighten one kind of stick being
often sufficient to spoil another kind.
The same power which makes a
crooked stick straight is applied to make
a straight one crooked; so we find that
the rigid steins of bamboos, partridge
canes, and all the various kinds of sticks
that are required to be curled or twisted,
are by the application of heat made to
assume almost any shape or form.—
Youth’s Companion.
Costly Drugs.
Among costly drugs we might mention
the following and the different sized
bottles and phials in which they are sold:
Agaricin, 44 ounces, costs $43.75: colo-
cynthin, 51 ounces, $114.75; coniine
hydrochlorate, 44 ounces, $98.45; cycla-
min, 34 ounces, $54.05; digitoxin, 14
ounces, $87.40; gentisin, 14 ounces, $91.15;
helitropin, 6 ounces, $61.25; dydrastine
hydrochlorate, 64 ounces, $194.80; papay
otin, used as a solvent for the diphther
itic membrane, 13 ounce bottles, per bot
tle, $189.50. Besides the above there
are various preparations made from the
Calabar bean the cost of which is amaz
ing. They are chiefly used in diseases
of the eye.
One is called physostigmine alkaloid,
and costs $137.50 per ounce phial. Phy
sostigmine crystals are still more expen
sive, being sold in 24 ounce bottles at a
cost of $503.15. Still another prepara
tion of the Calabar is physostigmine
salicylate crystals, an aristocratic drug
that surely furnishes a fitting cap sheaf
for this pyramid of costly stuffs, which
is furnished to the customer who is able
to buy at the reasonable charge of $1,810,-
020 for a 2 ounce phial.—St. Louis Re
public.
He Was Not Anxious to Learn.
Professor Albert Boehm, of this city, is
an enthusiastic naturalist. He has a large
collection of birds and animals, and
makes a practice of exhibiting them at
fairs. The professor was at the Winona
fair, and had his museum in a tent on
the grounds. One day a gentleman
stepped in by the tent and looked at a
couple of coons which were tied to a stake
near the entrance. He did not know
what the animals were and asked the
professor, who told him they were coons,
and said: “If you will give me ten cents
and come inside the tent, when you come
out you will know more about natural
history than any of your normal profes
sors.” The offer was a good one. but the
gentleman refused and turned away.
Professor Boehm asked a bystander who
it was, and was told, “Professor , of
the Winona normal school.”—La Crosse
Leader.
The New Game.
The climax in golf has come in Eng
land. It is not simply men who work
chiefly with their brains—judges, clergy
men, artists, journalists, members of
parliament and novelists—that have
taken to it almost en masse, and are
never weary of ringing its praises as the
sole perfect cure for dyspepsia, the mea-
grims and worry. Young athletes are
abandoning cricket and football for golf,
and are competing with each other ** to
who can “drive the longest ball”—Ex
change. _
