PROFIT IN DRUGS.
Some Facts About the
Apothecary’s Business.
The Extensive Use of Patent Medicines,
Quinine, and Opium.
Evcry member of the human family is
more or less interested in the drug trade,
which is one of the most important car¬
ried on in the world. It employes hun¬
dreds of millions of dollars in capital,
and affords thousands upon thousands of
people a means of making an honest live¬
lihood. With the view of learning some¬
thing of the inside mysteries of a trade
of such importance, a reporter for the
New York Mail and Express visited a
large drug store. The man of drugs was
busily engaged in filling a prescription.
When ho was at leisure lie said in an¬
swer to the reporter’s query:
“Now there is a compound that is
composed of exactly four ingredients.
One of these ingredients costs at whole¬
sale exactly two cents, the second one
cent, the third two cents and the fourth
three cents, making a total of eight
cents.”
“How much will you charge your cus¬
tomer for that prescription?”
“Fifty-five cents.”
“A handsome profit—just 600 per
cent.”
‘ ‘Oh, yes; but then you see, the cus¬
tomer pays forty-seven cents of the fifty
five for my experience as an apothecary.
Men in other professions do the same as
we in this respect. For instance, a phy¬
sician will look at your tongue and feel
your pulse, demand a fee of from $3 to
$5, according to the length of your purse
and his standing in society. If he is a
high-toned or fashionable doctor you
may think yourself fortunate if you cs
cape without being charged more than $5.
It is the same with a lawyer. You visit
his office, obtain his advice in a simple
matter, and occupy his time for about
fifteen minutes. He wants you to pay
$35 or $50. Now I have performed as
much real service as either the doctor or
the lawyer, and all the compensation I
ask is the small pittance of fifty-five
cents. We prefer the prescription busi¬
ness to selling patent medicines, because
the former is the most profitable of the
two branches of our trade.”
“Is the sale of patent medicines in¬
creasing or declining?”
“I can reply to that question both in
the affirmative and the negative. Patent
medicines are like garments, they become
fashionable and may go out of fashion.
It is not always the best medicines that
-have the largest sale. A great deal de¬
pends upon the manner in which they arc
advertised and placed before the public.
A few years ago a man prepared a pain
annihilator. It was a sort of wash that
deadened pain temporarily, but it was
not a permanent cure.. It was, in fact,
injurious for it tended to produce paraly¬
sis. The proprietor advertised it far and
wide. The name of the so-called reme¬
dy appeared in the advertising columns
of all the newspapers. It was seen upon
buildings, fences, and bill-boards, in the
city and in tho country. Turn which¬
ever way you would it stared you in the
fa-- The proprietor made a fortune in a
very short time. His pain annihilator
was known and used in almost every
family. Like the Roman Empire it had
its rise and fall. Now noboby thinks of
using it. In fact it is not even manu¬
factured or to be found in the market. ”
“What drugs have the largest sale?”
“Well, I may include in the list quin¬
ine, the various preparations of opium,
calomel, arsenic, valerian, lavender and
— well I don’t think you wish mo to go
through the entire catalogue.”
“Tell me something about quinine?”
“Pills containing two grains of quinine
sell at $1.50 to $2.00 per bottle of one
hundred pills. The prevalence of mala
ria in almost all sections of the country
during the past few years has caused an
immense consumption of this drug. It
has also afforded speculators a chance to
make money by forcing the price up, and
they have not been slow irffavailing them¬
selves of the opportunity.”
“By whom is opium mainly bought?”
“By people of all classes. You would
be greatly surprised if I should show you
a li.-t of my customers who are in the
habit of purchasing this drug. I do not
mean those for whom it is prescribed by
physicians, but those who use it as regu
larly as they would tobacco. These
slaves of the opium habit comprise law
vers, artists, preachers, merchants, and
all kinds of mechanics, tradesmen and
laborers. Women as well as men are
slaves to opium.”
“Do druggists as a rule become
wealthy?”
“No. There are too many in the busi¬
ness. If the number of drug stores could
be reduced,one-half those who remained
in the trade would stand a chance of
making fortunes. As it is, the most of
us have a hard task to keep our heads
above water.”
Didn’t Retaliate.
“What is the trouble between vou and
Johnny Green, Jamie?”
“He struck me in the face and called
me a baby.”
“Well, I hope you didn’t retaliate, did
you: r *
“No, sir; I didn't. I just hit him

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Remember this: Ilowwer small you
consider your possessions, there is some
one who envies you them.
Let us begin our heaven on earth, and
being ourselves tempted, let us be pitiful
and considerate and generous in judging
others.
There is no luck, but there is su ‘li a
thing as hard work and the knowing
how to make it answer for what others
call “luck.”
The only talent that man under all cir¬
cumstances has succeeded in handing
down to his son is the ability to judge
prime whisky.
Look not mournfully into the past—it
comes not back again; wisely improve
the present—it is thine; go forth to meet
the future without fear and with a manly
heart.
When the man listening to his con¬
science wills and does the right, irrespec¬
tive of inclination as of consequence,
then is the man free, the universe open
before him. He is born from above.
We pass through this world but once.
Any good thing, therefore, that we can
do, or any kindness we can show to any
human being, let us do it now. Let us
not defer or neglect it, for we shall not
pass this way again.
Su’h are the vicissitudes of tho
world, through all its parts, that day
and night, labor and rest, hurry and re
tirement, endear each other. Such are
tlie changes that keep the mind in action;
w'e desire, we pursue, we obtain, we are
satisfied; ive desire something else, and
begin a new pursuit.
Precocious Prattlers.
The “Children’s Chitchat” in the Aloe
Moon contains -some amusing sayings by
se little ones. A faw samples are given:
“Well, my young gentleman, and how
would you like your hair cut?” “Oh,
like papa’s please—with a little round
hole at the top.”
Grandpa: “Tell me, Ethel, why do
you have six buttons on your gloves?”
Ethel: “Yes, grandpa, dear, I will tell
you. The reason is if I had seven but
tons or five, they would uot match the
six buttonholes.
11c was a persistent little boy who told
lds mother, who thought he was too young
to wear trousers, that “lie would be will
ing to go without pockets if he only could
wear something that had legs.”
A small boy, the son of agifted clergy
man in this state, was heard one night
addressing the following petition to his
Maker: “O God, please bless mamma,
and please bless papa; but tho less you
have to do with Aunt Marie the better,
Amen.”
“Mamma, what does it mean when it
says, ‘The shades of night were falling
fast’ ?” “5 ou should try and figure out
those things for yourself, Johnny.” I
know now. It means when sister Jane
pulls down the parlor blinds, then Gus
Smith comes in to spend the evenings,
eh?”
Mrs. Jones-—“Did you take Johnny to
school, Jeremiah?” Mr. Jones—“I did.
An excellent school it is, Matilda. The
scholars are models of deportment; the
curriculum is first-class, and the professor
a man of ability. At least, that is the
-%<\y he struck me.” Johnny (with a
groan)—“ion ought to have stayed
about an hour, and seen how he struck
me. ”
Dickens’ Genius for Diligence.
A friend of the great novelist, a man
who had given promise of a noble career
as an author, but who through indolence
had failed in doing any permanent work,
called upon him one morning and after
bewailing his ill success, ended by sigh¬
ing f “Ah, if only I were gifted with gen¬
ius!” Dickens, who had listened patier.t
ly to the complant, exclaimed at once in
answer: “Genius, sir! 1 do not know
what you mean. I had no genius save
the genius for hard work!” However
his enthusiastic admirers may dispute
this, certain it is that Dickens trusted to
no such uncertain light as the fire of gen¬
ius. Day in and day out, by hard work,
he elaborated the plot, character and dia¬
logue of his imperishable stories. Whole
days he would spend to discover suitable
localities, and then be able to give vivid¬
ness to his description of them, while,
sentence by sentence his work, after ap¬
parent completion, was re-touclied and
revised. The great law of labor makes
no exception of the gifted or ignorant.
Whatever the work may be, there can be
no success in it without diligent, unceas¬
ing, persevering labor.— Baptist Weekly.
Extracting Teeth Wiih a I’istol.
Old Dr. Mousey extracted teeth by
fastening a strong piece of catgut secure¬
ly to the tooth, to the opposite end of
which he affixed a bullet. With this
bullet and a full measure of powder, a
pistol was charged, and when the trigger
was pulled, the operation was performed
effectually' and speedily. Once a gentle¬
man who had agreed to try the novelty,
and had even allowed the apparatus to
' je adjusted, at the last moment ex
claimed, “Slop, stop, I’ve changed my
mind! “But I haven’t, and you’re a fool
and a coward for your pains,” answered
the Dof;tor > P ullin k' tilc trigger. In an
other instant the tooth was extracted,

astonishment .—.iclentijic American.
THE “ALABAMA.”
The Confederate Cruiser’s
Last Engagement.
Hew She Was Sunk by the "Eearsarge”
Off the French Coast.
From an account of “Life on the Ala¬
bama,” by one of her sailors, in the Cen¬
tury, we quote the following: “We got
everything ship-shape and left Cherbourg
for our last cruise on a bright Sunday
ihorning, June 19th. We were escorted
by a French armored vessel, and when
we got outside we could seethe Rears arge
awaiting us, about four miles away.
Captain Semmes made us a short speech
which was well received, though it seemed
odd to me that an American should ap¬
peal to an Englishman’s love of glory to
animate him to fight the speaker’s own
countrymen. But we cheered, and the
French ship leaving us, we steamed
straight for the Kearsarge. There is no
doubt that Semmes was flurried and com
mcnced firing too soon. We were, I
should say, nearly a mile away, and I do
not think a single shot told. Ahe enemy
circled around us and did not return our
fire uatil with i n seven or eight hundred
yards and then she let us have it. The
t; rs t shot that struck us made tho ship
rec ] and shake all over. I was serving ou
one of the thirty-two pounders, and my
sponger was an old man-o’-war’s man,
who remarked, after a look out of the
port, ‘We might as well lire batter pud
dens as these pop-guns: a few more bills
like that last and we may turn turtle.’
He had scarcely spoken when a shell
burst under our pivot-gun, tilting it out
of range and killing five of the crew.
‘Wluit is wrong with the rifle-gun?’ was
asked ‘We don’t seem to be doing the
enemy any harm,’ while with slow preci¬
s i on came the crash of the heavy shell of
the Yankee, One missile that seemed as
;,jg ag a haystack whizzed over our heads,
taking a section of the port bulwarks
away, fortunately missing a man that
was handling shot. lie only remarked
that he believed the Yankee was firing
‘steam-b’ilers’ at us. Another shell
struck us amidships, causing the ship to
n st to port so that our gun weighing
three tons raced in, pinning one poor
fellow against the port-sill, lie died ho¬
f ore w . could, get him clear. This was
the missile that sunk the Alabama,
‘She’s going down!’ was the cry, and all
was confusion. Another shell struck
about the water-line,and the vessel reeled
like a drunken man. The dead and
wounded were lying about the deck,
which was red with blood. Our officers
did their duty and the men at once be¬
gan to get up the wounded. The cutter
and launch were in the water, and the
officers were trying to keep the men back
till the wounded were all in; hut certain
]y many of them were left, for I saxv sev
eral on the berth-deck when I went be
low, and the boats were then full and
pushing off. When it was certain that
the ship was sinking, all order was at an
end. I hail £10 and a watch in a loek
er between decks, and I ran below, but
they were gone.
“ ‘All hands on deck—ship’s going
down!’ was called, and I had just got
on the upper step of the forward compan
ion-way when the water, entering the
berth-deck ports, forced the air up and
almost carried me off my legs, I cast
my eyes around for a moment. Old Gill,
with his head crushed under the carriage
of the eight-inch gun, was lying there,
his brawny hands clinching the breast of
bis jumper. Just as the water came over
the stern I went over the port bulwarks.
1 was a good swimmer, and bad not been
in the water five minutes when a French
pilot-boat came running past, and a
brawny fellow in petticoats and top-boots
dragged me out Of the water.”
The Thirteen Superstition.
Some of the fashionable people of Bos¬
ton are firm believers in tbe superstition
which is opposed to thirteen at table,
this often leads to awkward complica¬
tions, for their dinner parties are fre¬
quently arranged for fourteen. When
this is the case and one of the guests can¬
not attend, and does not apprise the
hostess of this fact until the day of the
dinner, great exertions arc made to ob¬
tain the one necessary to make up tbe
original number, and m»ny ladies accept
short invitations in order to help their
friends out of their dilemma. When the
one desired cannot be found, it is often
convenient for a member of the family to
be indisposed. This, of course, makes
the number of diners even, but it is
doubtiul if it prevents any of them from
dying within the year.— Boston, Budget.

light was thrown by expert and other
witnesses upon the methods, in some in

manufacture were testified to. One wit

The hair for making wigs comes from
all parts of the world. The natural
blonde comes from Norway and Sweden.
Dealers in the outh of France supply
great quantity of dark hair, and thou¬
sands of pounds df black hair are brought
from Italy to New \ ork every year.
China sends us the cheajiest hair, but
it is rather us ■, and is used in manu¬
facturing )ox\-grade theatrical wigs
and back-pit - . braids and bangs for
ladies’ street wear. By bleaching and
dyeing, Chinese hair can be given any
color that is desired. But it assumes
auburn shades best, and an enormous
quantity of it has been used. The
Swedish hair is rarely longer than
twenty-two indies, and when received
here it is always dirty and teeming with
insects. French hair is generally clean,
but the it . i hair, which conics to
New York in 100-pound bundles, is ex¬
ceedingly filthy, and the workmen who
dean it before • it is purchased by the
wig-makers sometimes contract diseases
from handling it. Dyed hair is called
“dead,” and becomes harsh after being
worn a short time. Chemicals are used
to give it agloisy appearance. Besides
the human hair large quantities of yak
and angora go^t hair and jute fiber are
used.
