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 .’’—Drake s Magazine. 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, much to the timid patient’s delight and 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. The Part He Forgot. The following colloquy occurred in the court room in tin’s city the present Young Attorney—Have you stated all that } on remember of the conversation which you had with Mr. Blank? Witne Young Attorney—That, then, was the whole conversation, was it not? Witne No, sir. I do not think I remember all. Young Attorney—What part of it lon’t you remember? The witness’ answer was lost in the aughter that ensued at the attorney’s • ipense .—Elmira Gazette. **' T... «». 0“ •* th ' “« annoying thing* that tbe country people lias to contend with (says the "West Union (O.)

In in tlip tin testimimv t -umony line brought edit fnrurnnl loiw.ird in m the recent Kolyer-Tliurber case, much light was thrown by expert and other witnesses upon the methods, in some in stances, of the canning trade. Resides the copper b filing and zinc soldering practices, ether reprehensible inodes of manufacture were testified to. One wit ness, who said that he had been in the canning business for thirty years, gave a Dimple mead of distinguishing spoiled ■n wuoi >« |t J g understood .................... that when range t at the contents . , of . the can d ,.-omposition will ensue.

If they are level, anu t spring . . hack . when . pressed , upon, they are known to Hie trade as “spring bot¬ toms”—that is, air has got in and the contents are in a state of fermentation. The cans have been badly soldered or sealed up. If the “spring bottoms” stand long enough they become what is known as “swell-heads”—that is, the bottoms have become convex and swell out, a condition due to the generation of ceases - Ijy tbe process 1 of fermentation. In order , to sell terrso goods unscrupulous dealers resort „ f/ . to , what j . witnesses •. called ,, , “reprocessing." Tliat is, the dealers make a hole in Die head of the can, heat the fruit and solder it up again; or, as this trick i easily detected, shrewder manufacturers melt open the original vent-hole, 1 eat the fruit and then resol¬ der the can at the old place. This leaves no mark, and therefore removes till evi¬ dence that the can has been tampered with .—New Turk Commercial. Hidr for (Vlgs. 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. A gentleman rode up to a public ljou-o in the country and ked: “Who is th! master of this house i” “lam, sir,” re¬ plied the landlord, “my wife Las been dead about thre weeks.” »* Sionv. n«^*rW!S,“ftiSMf natioti uu.l lmHe»ull«^ iKSfc •<o,,i um or dwth’’* """ S '" r ' This Grief sentence was fairly hissed into VSS off.t to-<l a y a hopeless wreck, One t an scarce]v realize the snfTeriDcrs of an opium victim. ‘Do Quincy has vividly por trayed it. l u who can titly deseriba the joy of n‘ tho rescued victim* r xy:i, OI1 of Dnvolnml r. fnrnwlv with March, Harwoxl *S;(’o.. manufacturing Sm'ofSf.
