PUZZLES FOR DRUGGISTS. Queer Orders the Men of Drugs Re ceive. From Ihe New York Mail and H'rpress. While waiting for a horse-car the other night, a reporter dropped in a drug Store not far away front tho Mail and Express building. Presently a little fellow came in with a note, which he gave the clerk, who laughed, did up a small box of caehous, put a dime in the till, and then passed the note over to his customer. It read: “Send me something to take tobacco out of my mouth.” “That note,” said tho clerk, “is from a printer, and is a fair sample of the many queer orders we receive. I don’t suppose there is any business in which a man is asked for more peculiar things than in the drug business. But we generally guess pretty nearly what is wanted, and really get along very well.” “If that note had come to me,” said the reporter, “I should have sent the fellow a corkscrew.” “No doubt, but you are not a druggist. What would you send in receipt of this or der?’’ and he handed down from a file a note that read: “I want some of that smellin’ stuff what goes through your brain.” “I give it up.” “I knew at once what was wanted —it was ammonia. The note really describes the effect of inhaling it very well, f get a note once in a while, though, that bothers me. Here is one of them: “ ‘Please send mo enough stuff to throw up a girl 4 years old.’ “The man wanted an emetic. The dose was for a girl aged 4 years. Another note that bothered me was this one; “ ‘I want something for a caustic.’ “I was wrapping up some nitrate of sil ver, when all at once it struck me that the order was for a purgative, and I asked the boy who brought the note what ailed his father. ‘Cramps.’ he replied, anil then I was sure. Caustic should have read cos tive. A post office employe sent over here one day last winter, saying: “ ‘The old woman’s got a bad oough, and she can’t cough; send me something for it.’ “Another sent word ‘that his wife and two little girls were down with the chills and fever, and he wanted tho very best thing I had that would kill them.’ Of course he meant the chills. A lady sent only to day for a plaster to take the stitches out of her back. Orders for ‘the essence you put people to sleep with when you’re going to cut off legs’ call for chloroform or ether. ‘Something for a woman whose appetite is loose on her’ means that she wants a tonic, as she is losing her appetite. Then there are orders for ‘something for a sore baby’s eyes,’ ‘a baby’s top for a nursing bottle,’ and the like. The greatest, however, of these peculiar orders is the one which calls for ‘something what I forgot the name of, but it’s a sure cure for dyspepsia,’ or any other common ailment. To such I always send our own preparation.” An Editor’s Inspiration. From the Chirago Tribune. “Mr. Kajoncs.” said the foreman of a Southern Illino.s paper, as ho went into the presence of the editor the other day, “we’ve waited a day and a half for that blank paper, and it hasn’t come yet. If vie don’t go to press this afternoon we’ll lose two stickfuls of legal ads that have got to lie printed before to-morrow. What are we going to dot” “Have we any blank paper ut alii” inquir ed the editor. “We havo ten quires of brown wrapping paper, such as butchers use.” “Then,’’said the editor, as tho fire of a sudden inspiration flushed from his eyes, “we’ll use that,’’ And he turned to his desk and wrote the following editorial, which he gave to the foreman with instructions to double-lead it and put it at the head of the first column on the editorial page: “Of all the papers in the United States the Welkin Ringer is the only one that, has the enterprise to print, a correct portrait of Queen Kapiolani, of the Sandwich Islands, which will be found in another column. The outlines of this portrait have lavn engraved with great care, and the cut 1* guaranteed to lie an accurate copy of tin; latest photo graph of her majesty, whim in order to show her complexion as it really 1* we have gone to the trouble and expense of printing our entire edition on paper whose color and quality exactly reproduce the com plexion and texture of the skin of this now famous Queen.

LUDIIEX ,fc RATES S. M. H. $24,350 Piano and Organ Sales FOR— JULY, 1887. CAN it be possible* One house in Savannah to sell Pianos and Organs to the value of $24,350 in one month, ana that the hottest in millions of years. Y’es, sir, or mam. as the case may be, it is a positive fact, without the slightest exaggerat ion. Our sales book shows the figures, and is open for the Inspection of any who question the above statement. But July was one of Savannah's dull months, and besides it was slightly hot How could such a trade he gotten up* It don't look reasonable. Nevertheless it is a fact, and the only ex planatlon is that when old Savannah gets drowsy we wake up and gel In our work. Hence dull times ure something that we know very little about. To explain further we will say that tho prime cause for the above named large July sales was our CLOSING OUT SALE of new and nearly new Pianos and Organs. We really had magnifi cent Wtrgains. we advertised them largely, the public believed our assertions, took us at our word, and BOUGHT, BOUGHT, BOUGHT, until $24,350 sales went rolled up. This sale still continues. Only half the stock has been sold. There's enough to go round, and \\e expect to roll up $30,(100 sales for August, judging from the way it opens. Doubtless few. if any, of those rare bargains can bp had after October Ist, as our spick of almost new and prime second hand Instruments will hy that date he closed out almost com pletely. Come this month, and quickly. Each day the selection becomes smaller. Remember, un usually easy terms on this stock. RENTED UNTIL PAID FOR. LUDDEN& BATES SOUTHERN MUSIC HOUSF. STOVES.
