A Lesson to Druggists.

The clerk of druggist in New Or
leans recently sold spirits of camphol
for camphor water. It was admins
tered to a patient and produced death
A suit was brought against the drug
gist for damages, and it has just beer
disposed of by the supreme court Of
Louisiana, which held that the defend
ant was primarily liable, and also liable
for the acts of his clerk in the regular
discharge of his business. The court
declared that the law does not place a
community in the position of being
poisoned by mistakes, with no one to
be held responsible therefor. If it was
the master who did the wrong he is re-
sponsible. If it was his servant who
did it, he is still responsible, for the
master is responsible for the acts of his
servant when done in the course of his
usual employment. Such decisions as
these are necessary to keep the dis
pensers of poisonous drugs and COM
pounds up to proper degree of watch
fulness. In all cities there is far too
much carelessness displayed in relation
to this matter. In some cases incom-
petent assistants are put in position in
drug stores on the principle of econo-
my. A few hundred dollars are saved
each year on the salary of clerks, and
the proprietors take the chances. In
other instances clerks are suffered to
get into careless habits, and in this
manner mistakes occur of fatal char
acter. But when the druggists are held
to strict and rigid accountability, not
only for their own mistakes but for
those of their assistants and clerks,
there will be fewer mistakes and fewer
deaths from the dispensing of improper
drugs.

Depressing Reports of Winter Wheat.

During the past week the condition
of the winter wheat in $50 counties has
been reported to the Department of
Agriculture. About three hundred
counties of valleys of the Ohio and
Mississippi, are represented which last
year produced seventy million bushels
of winter wheat, or sixty per cent. of
the product of seven states from Ohio
to Kansas. The average of the condi-
ton in these states is GO per cent only,
indicating of full crop if no i'm
provement occurs in Kentucky IS per

81, though only thirty-two counties in
the latter state are represented. The
condition is better in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia, though below
an average. A few wheat counties in
New York make extremely nnfavorable
returns. The portion to be replanted
in other crops averages IA per cent in
the west or 1850, 900 in a breadth of
1900, 900 acres seeded. The largest

Remarkable Surgical Case.

At the meeting of the Rensselaer,
county medical society, held yesterday
afternoon, DIR. Hubbell reported case
which goes as far to show the progress
being made in the healing art as any
thing we have recently met with. Next
to taking out the lungs and cleansing
them stands the operation of cutting
into persons chest, and through the
wound made washing out the inside.
Early in January last a little twin
daughter of James Kelly, of the firm of
Knowlsen & Kelly, nachinists, had in
fammation of one lung, and since then
had been gradually failing. DR.. Hub
bell soon became convinced that an ac-
emulation of matter was taking place
in the affected side, which, unless re-
moved, would cause death. Accord
ingly, about three weeks ago, with an
instrument termed "the aspirator," a
considerable quantity of puss was re-
moved, but not nearly all. The nature
of the case being more fully revealed,
it was determined to make thorough
work AMI in day or two after DIR.
Hubbell, assisted by DR.. Wilson, of
Troy, and DR.. Hubbard, of Lancing-
burgh, made free, bold incision be-
between the ribs into the cavity of the
chest, midway between the heart and
the spine, on the left side, and evacu-
ated about quart of matter. A double
tube was then inserted into the opening
made and by means of a syringe fitted
to it. the whole cavity was washed ont
with disinfectant solution of just the
of the blood. This cleans
ing process has been repeated once in a
day or two, and as the result of it the
little sufferer who was so near deaths
door is sitting up, eats we'll and plays
some, and the opening will soon be
allowed to heal. Only four cases have
yet been reported in this country in
which this method of operating was
adopted, but il is approved by the
highest medical authority and will I'M
loubtedly be resorted to more fire.

known, as a means of saving life

A Million Dollar Hammer.

A German paper informs us that the
famous steel works of Frederick Krupp,
of Essen, are about to receive a very
important addition to their machinery.
The largest steam hammer in use at
these works, at the present time, is one
capable of working a mass of steel 80
tons in weight, and erected at cost of
$3.50, 900. 1t is now in contemplation
to build a new steam hammer capable
of beating up mass of steel of double
the weight, namely, 100 tons. The
new machine, it is estimated, will cost

Kentucky, is set down at AZ per cent.
If it is one fourth of the crop it is much

"Stan' GOT O. the Road Wuman.''

Some years ago her majesty was one
day standing on the public road l sal
Balmoral making a sketch of the pala {
from particular point, when a flock q
sheep were driven along. Her majesty
intent on her work, took little notice of
the sheep, and merely moved little
nearer the side of the road. The boy
in charge of the flock, seeing, her in
the way, shouted at the top of a stem
torian voice: "Stan' DOT O. the road,
wuman, an let the sheep gaze by" The
queen not moving out of the way so
quickly as the shepherd wished, he
again shouted "Fat are We stan'in'
there for2 Gang DOT o. the gate, and let

attendants, who was a little distance,
hearing his royal mistress thus rudely
addressed, stepped up to the boy and said

Amusing the Baby.

When the baby is just able to open
its little unused eyes it is first induced
to gaze upon the lamp. The infant,
with weak, pinkish, half-open eyes, is a
sufferer beyond any power to tell of or
get relief from its own woes, and yet
the torment of making it gaze at "ze
putty yed yight" is supposed to be ex-
quisitely amusing. After the bother
with the sun and lamp, the baby is
jumped at, screamed at, and otherwise
startled, until its nerves are disturbed
beyond ordinary quieting. 1t is a sub
ject of marvel to most people that so
many people die in infancy, but to an
observing and rejecting mind the won
der is that any children grow to matu-
rity. When you and I feel miserable
We want to be left in quiet. Repose is
the sweetest remedy for our nervous or
other ills, but baby is trottee, bounced,
tOted, "ketchy-ketchied," chucked I'M
der its chin, poked in its cheeks, or
somebody's thumb is thrust into its
toothless mouth irrespective of a need
of ablution, and then if baby isn't happy
it is reputed very irritable. Tickling
the baby's feet, creeping the fingers
like the motion of a mouse across its
breast and mp into its fat, sensitive
neck wrinkles, is another mode of anus
ing baby. OF course the child laughs,
and the idiots who torment it forget
that it is the same expression with
which they reply to a similar process
from the hand of some mischievous but
torturing friend; and yet we all know
that this laugh from a man is an hys-
terical cutlery of nervous irritability.
When the laugh ceases, WEAKNESS
brings weeping, or perhaps a restless
and unrefreshing sleep, followed by de-
preston, and probably by indigestion
and collie. Nothing should ever be
done to startle a child-even a too fire.
quent playing of bo-peep, if violent,
has been known to bring on st. Vitus'
dance with delicate organizations. All
surprises are dangerous to the nervous
system, just as all sudden atmospheric
or dietetic changes are very unhealthy,
and sometimes fatal. If music is Sc
lected to please the young child's ears,
it should be gentle and soothing.

At present, attention is invited to
the fact that last year Great Britain had
81, 267, 900 acres in pasture, beside
4, $40, 742 acres in "clover under rota-
tion." In the same year the total area
in grain (wheat, barley and oats) was
only 8,544,671 acres. These figures
show conclusively that land in grass on
which the tenant pays heavy rent gives
better return to the farmer than land
in grain, even where labor is as cheap
as it is in England. In grass and clover
there are over thirty-fve million acres.

AMERICAN APPLES IN ENGLAND
Nothing astonishes the English more
than our system of barreling apples.
In that country the crop is placed thin
IL on shelves, in fruit houses con-
structed especially for the purpose,
and no one thinks of sending them long
distances to market. Our Rhode Island
Greetings and Baldwins, therefore,
which now go there in barrels in i'm
mense quantities, surprise them consid-
erably. A good deal of this is, perhaps,
due to the varities we send there. A
few years ago the Newtown pippin was
the great American apple in the London
market; hut since the failure of that
variety, those two named have IN a
measure taken its place. 1t is not,
however, that these apples should
reach the English markets in such ex-
cellent condition after being merely
barreled up that so astonishes the
English the price is also wonder,
for after being sent so far, they can
still be sold at price the English can
hardly touch with their own fruit.
This speaks we'll for the progress OF
American fruit culture.

The Living Room.
BY CLARENCE COOK.

Let us begin with the frank aban-
document of any formal parlor, but,
taking the largest and pleasantest and
most accessible room in the house, let us
| give it up to the wife and children in the
daytime, and to the meeting of the whole
| family when evening comes. There is
not much need at the present time to
emphasize this suggestion, for it is one
| which experience and necessity have
| already made to a good many people 4;
and now that the problem, Chow to get
dwelling at rent within moderate
means" is being solved by the increase
of ''fats" and apartment houses. the
'parlor" must be given up, there being
no provision made for it in the common
plans. But it is by no means my notion
that the living room should be homely,
matter-Of-fact apartment, consecrated
to the utilities, while the MUSES. and
Graces are left to kick their heels in the
hall. On the contrary, we want in the
living-room, for foundation, that the
furniture shall be the best designed and
best made that we can afford, and all of
it intended to be used and necessary to
our comfort notan article to be allowed
that doesn't earn its living, and cannot
prove its right to be there. These
wants being provided for first, then we
will admit the ornament of life-casts,
pictures, engravings, bronzes, books,
chief nourishers in life's feast; but in
the beginning these are to be few, and
of the choicest, and the greatest care is
to be taken in admitting a newcomer.
The room, from the very first, ought to
represent the culture of the family
what is their taste, what feeling they
have for art it should represent them
selves, and not other people; and the
troublesome fact is, that it will and
must representatives,, whether its owners
would let it or no. If young people,
after they have secured the few pieces
of furniture that must be had, and
made sure that they are what they
ought to be, have some money left to
get a picture, an engraving, or q
cast, they ought to go to work to
supply this want as seriously as they
would the other, which seems the
more necessary, but in reality is not
bit more necessary. I look upon this
ideal living room of mine as an impor-
tant agent in the education of life it
will make great difference to the chill
dren who grow up in it, and to all |
whose experience is associated with it,
whether it be a beautiful and cheerful |
room, or only homely and bare one, |
or a merely formal and conventional |
one. The relation of these things to |
education is all that gives any dignity |
or poetry to the subject, or makes it /
allowable for a reasonable man to give |
much thought to it. But it has a real
vital relation to life, and plays an i'm
portant part in education, and deserves
to be thought about great deal more
than it is. It is therefore no trifing
matter whether we hang poor pictures
On our walls or good ones, whether we
select a fine cast or a second-rate one.
We might almost as we'll say it makes
no difference whether the people we
i've with are irst-rate or second-rate.-
