I make it a rule to ob ,v th*' greatest precaution so long as I , m working on a prescription, and when I am done with it to dismiss it from my mini altogether. It was a lesson I learn ei early in life that to try to remember the component pan ts of any certain pre ,|..ipiion is the formation of a most dan gerous habit, not only because it would confusion and worriment to the B jnd, hut because it would soon engender a disregard tor the prescription tile, and that would most certainly prove disas trous some time. •■you would think physicians are infal lible, and I must say they make mighty w mistakes, But by changing a doc tors prescription one time I saved a man's life. Most pharmacists have a sa cr-l regard for the formula a doctor au t iriZ'-s, and follow it rigidly without (l o stionlng the possibility of a mistake. This prescription X speak of read ten grains strychine and two grains of qui rinc. I saw at once that the physician h.,.1 made a mistake, and without saying anything to my customer, who was im patiently waiting for his medicine, I just reversed the order and mixed two grains of strychnia and ten grains of quinine. The man left and' soon after the doctor came in. 1 thought I wculd have a little fun with him, so I asked him what he nmant by prescribing so much poison for that man. He asked me to explain, and I handed him the recipe he had writ ten a few minutes before. His face grew as white as that paper, and he shook like a leaf as he asked me if I had tilled it. CL irai ao tiv *uv **• • "Certainly,” I replied. "For (iod's sake, Jones," he said, and clutched at that counter for support. "Thai man will die, and I am ruined." "1 saw that I was carrying the Joke too far so I told him of the change I had nia.li- in it. He acted just like a man who lias had a thousand pounds lifted off his head ,and after good-naturedly roasting me for putting him on the torture rack 1"' offered me a handsome present, which 1 very promptly refused. 1 have tilled many a prescription for that doctor since, but not one error that I can re call has crept into any of them.” A small hoy with a very dirty face hnl quietly entered the store and was making his way to the rear. ■ Well, sir," said the druggist, emerging from his little cage," what can I do for you?” "Pa wants a poor house blister to put on rna’s side where he—where It hurts her." "You mean a porous plaster? "Oh—yessir." After he had filled the boy's order the man of drugs returned to his chair and cigar, saying: “There are a great many people like that boy. They come in here not knowing what they want, and expect m. to tell them. Lots of times I can guess what they want from the unintelli gible jumble they make of it. and 1 rarely make a mistake when they can so much as give me an idea. Lots of these blun ders are very amusing, and afford me many a quiet laugh. ‘Just the other day a young fellow in and asked me if I had pearline, saying that he had heard of it, and sup posetl that it must be good for rheumatic attack that was troubling him a good deal. I came behind the counter here to laugh; then I told him what pearline was used for. Before he left I had him fixed out in good shape—but not with pearline.*’ The druggist lighted a fresh cigar and laughed quietly as he thought of the cir cumstance. “One of the funniest things I can re call,” he said, “happened to me while I was in business in a country town in Northern Ohio. I belong to the Methodist church, and in the country people are more closely identified with church work than are those in the city. I was one of the deacons, and if I do say it myself, 1 tried to live a consistent Christian life, enjoying the respect of all my church brethren. As is the custom with all drug gists, I kept a small supply of excellent whisky for medicinal purposes. One day an intimate friend of mine came in and wanted a pint of that whisky. On the strength of friendship I quieted my con science, and put him up a pint, wrapping the bottle in paper in the usual manner. He said he would call for it that after noon, as he didn’t want to carry it around with him. A short time after he had gone Beacon , a very straight-laced mem ber of our church, came in and wanted a pint of cough medicine, handing me a vial. Now, the deacon was one of that kind of men who are always surrounded t*y a dense atmosphere of piety and holi ness, who always seem to repel rather than invite the fellowship of sinners. The mothers of the village used to point him out to their boys-as a model for them to emulate, and altogether the old gentle man was thought to be as near sanctili bation as it is possible for mortals to get. Ho told me to put him up some good preparation, saying he had an errand far ther up the street, and would call for it in a short time. I filled the order, wrap p'd up the bottle and set it alongside the other one. My dinner hour rolled round, anil the deacon had not yet appeared. Heaving, as I thought, explicit directions with my boy as to which bottle should be given him, I w*ent to my midday meal. That evening my friend called for his whisky, and I gave him the bottle re maining on the counter. “The next morning he stopped in, and, with fine sarcasm, inquired what kind of slop I sold him in the guise of good whisky, producing the, bottle. “*<Jreat guns!’ 1 sain. ’Frank, you have beacon 8., cough medicine and he has your whisky! What on earth will I tell th.* deacon? You understand how r the mis take could be made, but how can I explain " to him? He will think I did it pur- Posely, in order to shock his dignity and P-Hy.’ “I filled another pint bottle for my friend—not with cough medicine —and then Paced the floor, trying to think how I c °uld apease the dt‘acon’s wrath. J was expecting him to bolt angry in at th* door every minute, but he didn’t c °me that afternoon. He didn’t come the day, nor the next. The following Ji rning, however, the deacon opened the ■ f, r, and solemnly walked back to the *' \e, where two or three of us were en tered in a political discussion. I bid him morning, and with palpitating heart offered him a chair. No, Frank,’ said he, ‘I called to see I' 1 ’ 1 a little bit,’ and he walked around o' hind the prescription counter. • lood Lord!’ I thought, ‘it’s coming as in trepidation I followed him. Slyly pulling that pint bottle out of coat-tail pocket, he said: ‘Frank, you may till that again with the same stuff. J : s a prime medicine, sir—a prime medi cine.’ “Well, I congratulated myself on getting of it so easily, but my stock in the peon’s holiness fell several points that , There asce many deplorable things hap ning all the time in which we druggists innocently figure, and for which we can jut be held culpable. I remember the case 01 a liveryman who used to buy ‘rough on rats,’ from me to scattre about the barn as It was infested with rodents. One morning an employe found him cold in death In the hay mow. with a partially emptied bottle of the rat poison beside him. I had sold him the bottle the pre vious night without any compunction, for he had bought any amount of it from me before.’’ Two girls, who looked as though they had just emerged from a successful con test with some kitchenware had entered the store and stood giggling before one of the counters. “Do you keep tooty-frooty here?’’ one of them inquired. “Not if we can sell it,” said the drug gist, with a wicked smile at the girl. The eostmetic on her cheek hid the blush if there was one there. “Well, gimme a dime’s worth." The visits of the girls seemed to have put the druggist in a great good humor. “Looking for your beau to-night, Sal ly?” he inquired. "Wht's it to you?” she answered sau cily. "Say,” as she just happened to think, ”he's going to buy me a birthday present, an - I’m going to tell him to come here for it. Then you can help me out in a little scheme. I want you to tell him that you think one of them piush-cov ered toilet sets with a lookin’-giass in side would be Just the thing for me. It may cost more than he wants to pay, but he won’t kick”—this with an air of con fidence—“if you tell him It will please me.” With an tmplous tickle under the chin, which the druggist thought was lost on the newsman—but it wasn't—he showed the schemer and her companion to the door, and the trap for that poor young man had been set. “You don’t have any idea how many people make a confidant of me. Like those girls, they depend upon me to help them when they have some game on hand. A great many of my customers never think ot going to a physician when out of sorts, but come to me and ask me if I haven't got something good for their particular ailment. Nine times out of ten I can give them something that will relieve, if it doesn't absolutely cure them. "Yes,” he said, as the newsman muffled up and made a trial opening of his um brella, “the drug business has its cares and responsibilities; but, after all, I don't know that I would want to exchange it for anything else.” STRATTON'S O\E SORROW. Hl* Cripple Creek Mine* Co* Him 111* Wife. From the New York Press. In all that has been written of Stratton, the man that discovered Cripple Creek, and is now owner of its richest mines of gold, it has not been told that his find which made his many times a millionaire, lost him his wife, and his comfortable home besides. Though he is rich enough now to maintain homes by the hundred, the old one, and the good and patient wife, are gone forever. It happened in this wise, as told to the writer by a man who knows Stratton well: Stratton, as every one knows, was a carpenter, and so excellent a workman that he had little difficulty in getting all the jobs he could attend to. He earned good wages, had a pleasant home and a wife who was fond of him. ' The average carpenter would be content with this. Stratton was, for a time, until he got to thinking of the silver &nd the gold that he, was sure was hidden away among the hills round about him. He brooded over the rumors that came to him and talked with his wife of the fine things they would own and the grand things they would do if ho could only find the precious metal. She listened com placently and told her husband that it would be no harm for him to do a little prospecting if he so wished. The change would do him good. He would have a healthful outing, even if he found noth ing. So Stratton went. When he returned the fever was settled upon him and his troubles began. They were not so bad at first, for Mrs. Stratton believed there was something in the stories he told her of the mines he almost found, and she let him go again and again out into the wild country, and from which he always returned more or less ragged and with nothing at all for her but anew batch of stories. So she de clared the mines were myths, and said that he could do quite well enough for her by sticking to his trade. She had no ob jection to being rich if the dollars camo easy, but she didn’t care to he left aloho weeks at a time, and two or three times a year, while her husband was off on a wild goose chase, earning nothing at bll- Stratton tried to settle down, but lie was too restless. He coaxed his wife to let him off once more, but she would not say “yes." So the carpenter determined to pre pare himself well, go oft quietly and stay out till he found something so good that his wife would forgive his running away. The first part of the programme he carried out all right, but the second part was a dead failure. He came back empty-handed. There was a scene. Stratton had nothing to say, but his wife said many things. Among others, she declared firmly that if it hap pened again she would leave, too. She would not stay at home to keep house for a man who didn't support her. She had had a hard time while he was away this trip. It never had been a pleasant home all alone. He was a good carpenter; iet him stick to his trade, and she would be happy. Stratton was fond of his wife and of his home and was penitent. He promised as she wished. He worked hard, and every thing went smoothly for months, and Mrs. Stratton thought her husband had forgotten that he ever wanted a gold mine. But, alas for her contentment! A man came down from the hills, a fellow who had been off with Stratton on one or two of his trips, and Stratton asked him to his house. Mrs. Stratton begged her guest not to talk mines to her husband, and ne agreed, but somehow Stratton learned that his friend had seen strong signs of gold in Cripple Creek, and that he would have stayed to follow them up, but had “gone broke.” Then Siratton’s gold fever broke out again. He knew his wife too well to broach the subject to her, so, trusting to the hold in her affections that the many months he had stayed at home working for her must have effected, he went off quietly and stayed this time until he found the mine. Tattered and torn, but full of joy, he re turned to offer his forsaken wife every thing that gold could buy. He felt sure of forgiveness. "When she sees the dust, she'll forget the quiet leave I took,” he said to himself. But she never saw the dust, for when Stratton reached his home he found it empty. His wife had been as good as her word. She had gone off too. She had done more than that. He found on inquiry that she had obtained a divorce and had married another man, an engineer on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, who is non hauling ore from Stratton's mine. It was a terrible blow to Stratton. His friends say he will never recover from it. And what does she that was Mrs. Strat ton think about it? HOMING INSTINCT OF HORSES. They Are Better Than Civil Engi neer* at Finding Their YY'ny. Dr. Eugene Murray-Aaron in Popular Science News. Horses and mules are known by all who have had much experience with them as famous pathfinders, although I am at any time re-dy to match my ability with that of any other student of woodcraft who is no more familiar with the coun try than I. A good story of this power in the horse tribe is told of a mule by John T. Campbell of Rockville, Ind. In the early days of prospecting In Ore gon a party was in the field, and had cov ered a very circuitous course, which they depended on a civil engineer to enable them to retrace, should they see any ob jects worthy of a revisit. Having decid ed to return to the home camp by the most direct route, the engineer, after calculating latitudes and departures, nointed out what he believed to be the correct direction along which they must nroceed to reach the desired point. When nighit overtook them they found that thev were not far away from the desired oolnt although he was quite unable to Sav ill which direction it was best to turn At this stage of their wanderings the driver of the team turned one of his mules loose; and at once, much to the discomfiture of the engineer and the amusement of the rest of the party it set off in a direction that brought them to the home camp. Now, this mule had THE MORNING NEWS: SEN DAY. FEBRUARY 2. ISOCi. never before been allowed to wander in this locality, for fear that it would stray and become lost, nor had It ever before been over the route by which they had reached the point where the engineer was at fault. It was after dark: there was no one at the camp to make any noise that its sharp ears might detect, and the way was entirely unknown to it. How had it at once taken the route that would lead to camp? A case allied to this happened to me in the Blue mountains of Jamaica, where a pony that had never before been In the parish, where I was lost in a tropical storm, took me back to the point from which we had started In the morning, and that by a much nearer route, entirely new to both of us. While I was aware by the growth of the trees that we were headed in the right general direction, it was at any time impossible for me to see more than Ift) yards ahead. At the time that I left the main trail and got on what afterward proved to be a much shorter cut. it was impossible for me to see any think in the blinding fury of the cloud burst. How the pony found its way with so much satisfaction to itself—it never for one instant appeared to falter on its course—l was unable to determine. It was more than once my experience after that, when we had any difference of opin ion as to the ramified ways in those Ja maica hills, that it was the judgment best to depend upon, to find the place where it last had its fodder, although it was at times annoying, when that place was not where I wanted to go. A FIERCE SWORD FIGHT. Furious Thrusts Exchanged by Two Fencing Masers In n Duel. From the New York Sun. The two most conspicuous fencing mas ters of Paris, M. Vigeant and M. Rue, quarrelled the other day over a letter which the latter published in the Figaro, criticising Vigeant’s conduct on the occa sion of a fencing bout between Merignac and San Malato In 18S1. M. Vigeant de manded a retraction from M. Rue in & rather stiff sort of letter. M. Rue prompt ly refused, and a challenge was the con sequence. Rue accepted the cartel, and the respective seconds arranged the condi tions of the fight. The weapons selected were swords. As the two men were masters in the art of fencing, great interest was taken in the duel, and it was thought that one of them would certainly be left dead on the ground. The place of meeting had to be kept secret by the seconds, and to all inquiries by reporters and others they re plied: “The duel will be on the outskirts of Paris.” On Dee. 22 last the tight came off at the Park Saint-Ouen. A few Jour nalists and friends alone had an oppor tunity to witness the encounter. Among them was a reporter of the Figaro, from whose account the following description of the affair is taken: A duel is always exciting, especially when it occurs between two swordsmen like Vigeant and Rue. I'nlike amateurs, when fencing masters fight they dispense entirely with little thrusts at the arms; they drive straight at the body. At It o'clock In the morning the adversaries and their friends came upon the ground. The place was admirably selected, in front of the old Chateau Saint-Ouen. Lille mounds of sand, which might interfere with the fighters, were promptly cleared away by workmen employed by M. Adam, the owner of the race course of Saint- Ouen. Then when the spot was thorough ly swept, the two combatants, M. Rue and M. Vigeant. were called up. Previous to this they were walking about quietly, chatting with their friends and with the reporters. The two duelists took off their coats and vests, although the cold was ex treme, and one of the doctors. Prof. Feli zet, remarked laughingly that the fighters were in greater danger of catching pneu monia than of getting a sword thrust. However, the sequel made him change his opinion, for the fight was furious. There was an ominous silence in the crowd, broken only for an Instant by the whispering of impressions upon the prob able Issue of the combat. M. Rue won the choice of position and of swords. His swords were Just half a centimeter longer than those of M. Vigeant; but the seconds gave the option to M. Vigeant of using one of his own weapons If he preferred it, and he decided to do so. It was now twenty minutes past 11, and the weather waa cold and clear. The adversaries were placed in position by M. Broutin, one of the best swordsmen of Paris, who pro nounced the usual “Go it, gentlemen!” and the fight began. Vigeant and Rue were admirable in the combat. Not the slightest emotion could be noticed in the countenance of either. Vigeant bent a little forward with a low guard, and his vigorous parries at the commencement of the engagement were noticeable. Rue, taller than Vigeant, and evidently more fiery, held his guard Just as he would hold it at a public fencing match, but with the point of the weapon a little higher. At first Rue took the offensive, and attacked soberly and prudently by simple straight thrusts, which were parried by Vigeant with superb maestria. Then Vigeant attacked at the very moment when Rue was about to deliver one of those extraordinary straight lunges which he executes so marvelously in the fencing school. This resulted in a close. At that moment everybody was literally breath less with excitement. The surgeons, the spectators, and the seconds were in dread of a fatal thrust. Fortunately It was agreed that the bouts should be of two minutes' duration only, and the two min utes .were up. M. Broutin called out “Halt!” Everybody heaved a sigh of re lief. But in this first engagement, on the attack of Rue, Vigeant was obliged to give ground to the extent of about ten metres; and the conditions of the com bat, agreed upon verbally by the sec onds, were very severe. Each adversary had only fifteen metres to give way, and so Vigeant had only five metres behind him when the fight was renewed. Rue attacked again. Vigeant stood up boldly against him, and with extraordi nary skill coolly parried the onslaughts. His riposte were low. and sometimes he let drive at the legs. The professor of the rue Saint-Marc (Hue) furiously endeavored to land, and, like a cat, watched an opening for a straight lunge, without advancing. Just here some marvelous phases of fencing were displayed on both sides. One would imagine that the adversaries were play ing with forked lightning. If any one of the terrific thrusts had reached home, the man who received it would have been pierced completely through. Rut the com batants were artists in the business, and the lightning flashes seemed to dance be tween them harmlessly, Vigeant still hold ing his weapon low, tried to gain ground, and in this effort the point of Rue's sword scratched his forehead as he was parry ing a thrust. He immediately thrust back, letting drive at the leg, and ex claiming: "How's that?” The seconds rushed in and stopped the combat. They believed that Rue was wounded, but in reality he had only re ceived a side stroke of the weapon, and to prove that he was utterly uninjured, he bounded up, rolled up his trousers, and, smiling, said to the surgeons: “See for yourselves!” The spectators could also see, because they were not very far away, and every body noticed fhat Rue possessed muscles of steel; and, as a matter of fact, many of them' knew that beforehand. The third bout was now to commence, and there were many pale faces among the spectators; but Just here a perfect coup de theater occurred. The blood from the wound in Vigeant’s forehead flowed down into his eyes, but he insisted upon going on. He said he would not stop for a small scratch, and that the fight should continue. But this was not the opinion of the surgeons and the seconds, who, noticing the blood flowing down over his eyes, declared at once that he was in a state of inferiority, and an end was put to the struggle then and there. Specta tors. seconds, and surgeons were only too happy to see the affair, which promised to be tragic, end in the way it did; but the two rival swordsmen left the duelling ground without shaking hands. —Snobberly: What do you think I found last year when I was at Long Branch?

NEVADA. It I* Nature'* Free Linrh-l I*ltor* Bring t ap* and I raeWrr* and Fraal on Something That T*tc* Like t bieken Broil— Frahalily of Vol ranlr Origin. Coyright, IS9S. New York, Feb. L—The free soup houses might have been dispensed with during the hard time* if the people of Nevada had only put up barrells of the chicken soup that bubbles from the foot hills of the Sierra Nevadas. in Elko county, Nevada, and had dispatched it to the poor in our great cities. Incredible as it may seem it is, neverthe less, a fact, that soup is a natural pro duct; and 1 have often satisfied my hun ger from this boiling hot spring, which judging by the palate, is simply nature's hot soup tureen. The pool, scarcely 100 yards in diameter, lies Just oft the stage road among the foot-hills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The traveler comes upon it just after crossing the toll bridge over the Humbolt river, which rushes like a cataract through the Humboldt valley far below, making Chicken Soup spring seem rather insignificant; but In reality this wonderful little body of water has been sounded to the depth of 1,300 feet, while the turbu lent waters below are shallow in com parison. The south side of the pool Is deepest, and seems to be the source from which the peculiar solutions flows; for the bub bling, boiling water on thai side will cook a goose egg in two minutes, li is a com mon sight to see tourists wending their way with bags of crackers and cups In their hands. The neighboring road bod is ballasted on one side by what appears to be a cov ering of hardened lime; bin it is in re ality pure crushed lava of unmistakably volcanic origin, for lyifig in close prox imity are evidences of volcanic erup tions. The pool has been dragged many times, hut nothing has ever been taken from Its depths but cedar. Cedar trees once abounded in this locality, and the hark, which bears marks of considerable age, was probably thrown In by the Indians while building their rafts and i anoes. This wonderful freak, lying about three miles and one half from the rough little mining town of Elko, is never visited by the inhabitants unless they are passing that way and feel hungry. The. miners and the rest of the matter of fact pop ulation have long ceased to wonder at nature's partiality, and accept the exist ence of this boiling soup caldron as a con venient fact. Whether It is due to the mineral properties of the soil, or to the close proximity of lava beds, or is itself a volcano in a mild state of aqueas erup tion, 1 know not. But there it Is, and any one who will go to Elko, can easily find the spring and sample the soup to corrob orate my statements. Francis Fox.
