PREVENTION OF MISTAKES L
USING MEDICINES.


USING MEDICINES
The many deaths that occur through
the Lack of proper system in the apoth-
ecary business demand speedy reform.
There will be plenty of ignorant and
careless people among the sick or their
friends, who, without soEsS better warn
ing than they have at present, will mis-
take one drug for another. They have
a stricter. system as to this matter in
Germany, and one still more strict in
Sweden. In those countries, the pois-
onous medicines are locked up by them
selves in a special closet. We cannot
see why this should; not be done here.
IF morphia or any two or three danger
ous substances are too much used that
they must be handy, let. each have its
own place and package, SO as not to be
mistaken for anything else. Some have
suggested triangular walls for poison, SO
that nurses and patients, as well as
clerks, may know the danger by the
touch $ and the suggestion Is good
one. BRt best of alleTe think, is the
plan of having every proprietor or chief
clerk of drug. store make out COM
p1ete list, of poisons that he sells, and
place IL in conspicuous position on his
prescription counter, and compel every
clerk who waits on customers to learn
the list by heart. The list must, OF
course, include the dose within which
safety lies. If druggists performed
their duties properly, there would be
no need for protective 4egfsiatioh:

MAN AND WIFE.


Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is muob human
nature and good sense in it '' Harmony
in married state is the very first thing
to be aimed at. Nothing can preserve
affections uninterrupted but frm reso-
luton never to differ in will, aRd the
determination of each to consideAsf the
love of the other of more value than any
earthly object whatever on which wish
can be fixed. How light, in fact, is the
sacrifice of any other wish when weigh
ed against the affections of one with
Opposition in single instance will
hardly of itself produce alienation this
only takes place when all the opposi-
tions are put, as it were, in a pouch,
which, while it is filing, the alienation
is insensibly going on, and when full it
is complete. It would puzzle either to
say why, because no one difference of
opinion has been marked enough to
produce a serious effect itself. The
affections are wearied out by constant
of discomfort, very common indeed, are
the little cross purposes of husband and
wife in common conversation-ad dispo-
sition in either to criticise and question
what the other says, desire always to
demonstrate and make the other feel in
the wrong, especially in company.
Nothing is so goading. Much better,
therefore, if our companion views a
thing in different light from what We
do, leave him in quiet possession of his
views. What is the use of rectifying
him if the thing be unimportant Let
it pass for the present and wait softer
moment and more conciliatory occasion
of reviving the subject together. It il
wonderful how many persons are rem
dered unhappy by inattention to the
little rules of prudence.

A LIVERPOOL invention is the substi-
tuition of oil or glycerine for steam as
power for engines. These substances be-
ing placed in small cylinders and heat
ed, the expansion produced is found to
be 10000 pounds per square inch, with
out the danger of explosion. Even if
an explosion occurs, it is claimed, there
will be none of the danger attendant
upon steam explosions, as the cylinder
would only crack, and not hurl every
thing endwise after the manner of
steam. This proceas has been applied
30 printing presses and punching and
riyetine machines with perfect success.

WEARING SIXTY FINGER-RLNGS
DAILY

Among the Romans plain rings were
worn originally on either hand at option,
but when gems and precious stones
were added they were worn by prefer
ence on the left, and it was considered
extremely efeminate to wear them on
the right hand. At first one ring was
worn, then one on each finger, and last
ly one on each joint. Charinus, accord
ing to Martial wore sixty rings daily,
or six on each finger, and did not take
them off, but slept in them. This was
an extreme case, but rings were often
worn on every finger, and also on the
thumbs. In Germany rings were fire.
quent1y worn upon the joints, as was
the Roman custom. The wife of Sir
Humphrey Stafford (145oJ is sculptured
in the Broomsgrove Church, Worcester,
with ring on every finger but the last
one on the right hand. Massive thumb.
rings were supposed tol tell Of wealth
and Importance, and Falstaf declared
that when young he could have crept
into an alderman's thumb-ring.

Europe signifies country of white
complexion SO named because the in
habitants there are of lighter COM
plexion than those of either Africa or
Asia. Africa signifies the land of corn,
or ears. It was celebrated for its
abundance of corn and all kinds of
grain. Spain, a country of rabbits, or
comics. This country was once SO in
tested with these animals that the in
habitants petitioned Augustus for an
army to destroy them. Italy, country
of pitch, from its yielding great quanti-
ties of black pitch. Gaul, modern
France, signifies yellow-haired, as vel
low hair characterized its first inhab-
itants. Hibernia, as utmost, or last,
habitation; for beyond this, westward,
PhHnicians, we are told, never extend
ed their voyages. Britain, the country
of tin, as there were great quantities OF
lead and tin found on the adjacent
islands. The Greeks called it Albion,
which signifies, in the Ph@nician
tongue, either white or high mountains,
from the whiteness of its shores, or the
high rocks on the western coast.

DR.. @. EwALD, of Berlin, describes
a method of washing out the stomach,
which, on account of its great sim
plicity, seems likely to make the topical
treatment of diseases of the stomach,
especially in cases of poisoning, much
more common GA piece of ordinary
India-rubber tubing, such as is used
for gas lamps, about six feet long, is
used one end is rounded with scissors,
and, if necessary, two holes are cut at
short distance from the end. This
tube possesses quite sufficient rigidity
to be passed without difficulty into the
stomach. To the outer end funnel is
fitted, into which can be poured either
water or solution of soda, etc., ac-
cording to circumstances. If the con-
the outer end of the tube must be sunk
to the level of the pubes, or even lower ;
then the patient must make short but
forcibIe contraction of the abdominal
walls. By this means the tube is filed
to it's highest point with the fluid con-
tents of the stomach, and becomes a
siphons; the liquid continuing to flow
until there is no mere, or till the tube
is stopped up. This last seldom oc-
ours, if the tube be of moderate cali
Der. Should it, however, happen, or
should the abdominal pressure be in
sufficient to fill the tube in, the first in
stance, or the patient be insensible, or
any similar difficulty arise, IT, can, in
general, be readily overcome by fitting
common clyster-syringe to the end
of the tube, one stroke of the piston of
which is generally sufficient to remove
the difficulty" 3sd.its i.s,:..s il5, ',5

GERMAN cremation society, num-
bering 450 members, exists in New
York. It's design is to build hall
with iron walls sixty by forty-four feet.
In the center will be erected an altar,
and in front of it, upon a large plate,
the iron coffin will be placed. After
the burial services have been performed
the car containing the body will be
moved under the furnace and subjected
to the action of the air at a tempera-
ture of 1000 deg. F. The ashes In the
coffin will then be returned and col
lected. An hour and half is the time
mentioned, $50 to 45O pounds of coal
oil the fuel and $8 the price.

Two Happy Hours of Savagery.

The following, from Scribner's "Old Cabinet"
will be read with amusement in this latitude
There are moments in the life of every simple
and discreet soul when he wants to kill his grand
mother. say grandmother, but merely in a gen.
eric sense. The desire is for murder and grand
mother stands for butcher, baker, candlestick-
maker. the world at large, or any one in particular.
The desire is for something to break the monotony
Of this weary conventional life to forget broad
cloth, and remember only the brute,-in a word,
to smash things. When a human being puts off
his round about and puts on his coat, he becomes
a slave. In his more rational moments he may
acknowledge that what he loses in freedom he
gains in culture that though he cannot climb a
tree or a lamp-post, be can soar into the ininities
that if he cannot throw brick-bats at windows and
tie tin-pans to dogs tails, he can, at least, edit a
daily, nineteenth-century newspaper. Still the
time will come when his bOyish savagery will re-
assert itself, when, it may be-
"If that hypothesis of theirs be sOund,T-
a more ancient and primeval savagery will in him
wake and cry.
This human tendency. or phase of Renaissance,
has various developments. The commonest is mere
anger a stupid, everyday, household experience,
about which little need be said, and the less said
the better. Then there is that mild mania,-per-
picking to so many Of its victims,-the sudden
s%pringing desire to jump over the p~recipice, pitch
the baby out of the window, laugh at the funeral,
or throw the hymn-book at the head of the parson.
And the parson himself; who shall say that it is
not sometimes this same impulse that prompts him
at times to throw FIRE and birthstone at the heads
Of the good people sitting so patiently beneath him?
/ do confess 1 have read nothing lately with such
keen relish as the story of the late andwich Island
mob, who. when they heard. outside Of the Court
House, that Kalakaua was elected sovereign Of the
nation over their favOrite, Queen Emma, set up q
true Hawaiian yell. fell upon the honorable repre-
sentatives. both inside and outside of the hall, cut
them up. so to speak. into ~kindling wood, and for
two mortal hours ragged and ramped, slashed,
crashed, screamed and roared through the build
ing like so many lions and hyenas. At the end OF
two hours the main room looked as if it had been
the scene Of a railroad accident.
They do that kind of thing very well in Paris. but
there they mix a little French ingenuity with the de-
struction. and, besides, the thing there is rafsoHne.
There is some sense in it. The Pstroleuse has a GER
tain vague apprehension of Nemesis. But this Ha-
waiian Outburst apparently began and ended in fool
ishness. Ii was not a Cause, or even a Movement.
Il was quelled,-my friend. who was there that very
day, tells me,-by a big Z. S. marine, who himself
carried q large part of the mob to the lookup. six at
q time-three in each hand. The King was quietly
installed very soon after, and the insurrectionists

seem to make as loyal subjects as Kalakaua could
wish.
You need not tell me that it was q grand hatred
for the new king that made them 60 on like wild
beasts. No. They bad . better provocaton than
that. For generation after generation they had
been, to use Mrs. Mufir's' expression, sat upon"
by civilized clothes, civilized customs, civilized gov
ernments. civilized laws, civilized properties, and
civilization generally. The time had come when
those in whom the old blood was hottest could stand
it no longer. They arose, and in the names Of their
ancestors, smashed things. They had two happy
hours.
So, while We may have a certain sympathetic IN
Outstanding of the barbsric element in art, liter
ture, and religion, that IS very far from being able
to endure it there. It is 8 thing which every man
knows how to repress in his own bosom, and he sees
no reason why the poet. for instance, should not do
the same when it comes to a matter Of artistic ex-
preston. If the ordinary civilized man easily con-
quers any possible desire TO run bowling aud naked
through the streets Of the small village where he
may happen to reside, why should q poet be permit
ted to send his barbaric yawp over the roofs of the
world
If in art, savagery is out Of place, how much more
in religion ? 1t is not merely in rant that the tend
ency shows itself, but in that late and unlovely form
Of city evangelism, which has all the ~vulgarity Of
the backwOods ministry. but none Of its alleviatiOns.
An ignorant, half-savsge, but terribly sincere border
camp-meeting preacher may season his discourse
with such phrase aud illustration as are native to
himself, and to his rough congregation. But when
a preacher, out of whom much of the brute should
have been eliminated by contact with the decencies
of life, mixes the Gospel with garbage, and spreads
the stuff before his hearers, he is a shame and q
nuisance. 1t will not do to hush up protest by saying
that he does good" to the class to whom he
appeals. He should not approach the low on the
level of their vulgarity. 1t is the Jesuit who does i'll
that good may come. Cleanliness and Christliness
are one. Bad taste is bad morals the world over.

II Is DIFFICULT to imagine a more sordid, lib
eral, downright mercenary spirit than is shame
lessly exhibited by one Of the writers for the
Gazette Of this week. We give his closing words:
"But men here who have means Of their own,
dread the monetary arrangement that may result
from this process. There IS danger in it. Il is
useless to make statements without evidence of the
number and quality Of the advocates and opponents
Of the Loan. But we leave it to the good sense and
knowledge Of our readers, to say whether the line
between them would not show borrowers with almost
exhausted credit on the one side, and lenders or men
whose credit is good for all they need, on the other.
Let the list be opened!'
Which being interpreted" means There
IS danger in this Loan Bill to us who have money
to lend. Our opportunities to reap high interest
and eventually to swallow up estates which others
have toiled to create, will be cut off; these miser-
able borrowers who are now well nigh exhausted,
will get fresh breath by government assistance,
and sd escape US. Our craft is in danger! The
good sense and knowledge of our readers will
readily show to them who these poor wrctches
are, and who we are. In short, we are CAPITAL.
Fall down and worship US >"

1t is proposed that the Duke and Duchess OF

The Queen is said to be favorable TO this idea. but
it has met with some opposition from other persons
in high quarters. 1t is believed. however, that a
