DRUGGISTS LIABILITY.

The Supreme court of Michigan has made an interesting decision concerning the liabil- ity of druggists. The case came from lower court, where damages had been allowed. A physician directed the plaintiff to take sul- phate of magnesia and messenger was sent to drug store to procure it. The patient took what the messenger brought and at once a burning sensation convinced him that mis- take had been made. Remedies were applied and the first bad effects were relieved. The medicine proved to be sulphate of zinc, or white vitriol. The patient brought an action against the druggist alleging grave and per manent injuries as the result of his error. Fifteen hundred dollars damages were award ed the plaintiff, and on appeal the case was heard by the Supreme court with the result mentioned. The Supreme court said that the lower court erred in instructing the. jury respecting the conditions of liability. The jury were told, without qualification, that if poison instead of harmless medicine were sold by druggist action would lie against the seller. No suggestion of negligence was offered as the necessary basis of @ suit. In other words, the wrong medicine may have been given to the messenger by the pharma- cist, and the mistake not be chargeable to the dealer. The Supreme court judge dwelt upon the possibility of accidents over which the druggist had no control. For example, the drugs may have been tempered with be- fore coming in possession of the dealer al legged to be criminally at fault, or in the de- fendant's store, by accident or otherwise. apart from any negligence or knowledge of the proprietor and clerks. A high degree of care would not secure the seller against such possibility of error. The courts do not dispense with the necessity that actual negli gence shall be an element in the liability when mistake has occurred. Intentional wrong or obvious negligence must be proved.
 This appears to be sound doctrine. A druggist ought not to be liable for the mis- take or negligence of another-the man who sells him his drugs, or the physician who prescribes them. In commenting upon this the Boston AdUertiser makes sugges- tion worth considering, as follows: "Wkere poison is ordered by the medical adviser there should be three checks upon the dan ger of mistake. The prescription should emphasize the fact that poison is to be pro- cured. The patient should know it, and be on his guard. The druggist should have the two fold warning from the doctor and pur- chaser. As matter of fact many patient receives prescription, buys what is order ed, and takes the medicine without the slightest idea of the nature of the drug ad- ministered

THE PHGNIx PARm TRAGEDY.


 No more painful news has recently been given to the world than that of the assassina- tion of Lord Cavsndish and MT. Burke in Phoenix Park, Dublin. The crime is a ter rible one, and though at this writing it is not known who committed it, the most reasona- ble supposition is that the assassins consid- cred themselves friends of Ireland. If this is true they could not have done a more un- friendly or i'll timed deed against their cause. Mir. Gladstone had made some very impor- tant concessions and shown disposition to give the Irish question fairer hearing than it has ever had in England The prospect for Ireland was never brighter But this dreadful occurrence throws a cloud over that prospect and adds to the difficulties and un- certainties which surround the Irish cause.
 Both the English and Irish leaders have need at this time of great patience, tact and wisdom. If these qualities are not exercised on both sides all that has been gained for Ire land and justice may be lost MT. Parnell has 8 great opportunity to show himself fit to lead the Irish people.

Now, drinking, grief and loss of property take hundreds to the asylum when none went before. Of insanity in general in Georgia. Dr. Powell says the rate is one to 1000 or 1,5OO. This rate is lower than that of the average, which is one to 800.

An interesting and extensive investigation concerning the depreciation in value by wear of the gold coinage of England has been made by Mir John Biddulph Martin of Lon- don He sent for information to every bal k to some fourteen railroads, to fifty postoffces and to a number of large wage paying firms, and he received 1,O92 returns. The most i'm the gold now in circulation is mora CT less light in weight. Upon the total number of coins of each year since 1917 in circulation there is weight defciercy of 84, 220, 790 grains. The mean loss of weight per coin through the wear of circulation is O.4325 grains Mir. Martin estimates the loss on light gold at G11 12s. per 1000 sovereigns the postoffice finds it to be actually SIP los. On light half-sovereigns the loss is much greater, ranging in actual expense from e21 6s. to e22 16 S. on e1 ,oOO worth. Thus the coin of the realm is in very bad way. In- dividuals bear the loss, and not the nation at large the only loss of the nation being the SC, GOO depreciation on gold sustained by the postofice. The brunt falls upon the bankers who do their utmost to avoid paying for the recoinage of sopereigns and half-sovereigns and are heavily loaded with coin for which they can find little use. MT. Martin proposes that the State should undertake the task and expense of putting the gold currency upon its proper footing and of keeping it there. The first expense would be e56o, ,OOO.

At Boston, where the system is now well un- derstood, the associations are very popular and the demand for money for building is constantly increasing. So great was the de- mand for shares, that one of the associations was obliged, recently, to fix a limit to the number issued.

The officers of mo- license town or city will feel under greater obligation to enforce law which is practi- cally enacted bytthe same voters who elected them than municipal officers would if the official responsibility of the law was with the State authorities.

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.

Mrs. Vincent, who narrowly es-
capped perishing in the cold on the
range between Georgetown and
Horseshoe gulch last Thursday
night, reached her home there last
evening. She travelled on foot
through deep snow, after leaving
her horse, until she was within
about a mile of her brothers
house. Here she lost her way
and stumbled into a gulch, where
the snow lay SO deep that she soon
became exhausted in attempting
to wade through it. Finding it a
hopeless task to make her way
out, and feeling hat her strength
was leaving her, she managed, af-
ter repeated efforts, to crawl upon
the fiat top of a boulder which
reared its snow-capped head above
the snow covered surroundings.
Here she passed a long and weary
night, moving about on the top of
the rock to shake off the stupor
which invited sleep and meant
death. Had she stepped from the
rock during the night she would
have fallen into a bed of several
feet of snow, and would inevitably
have persisted. When morning
dawned her faculties were yield
ing to the terrible strain to which
they had been subjected, and with
hardly a hope to be heard by any
one, she feebly called for help to
some miners who we're on their
way to work and passed near
enough to see her. She was not
able to talk to them when they
came to her rescue, nor to help
herself in any way. They carried
her to the blacksmith shop of the
Captain Jack mine, where every
possible was shown her.
resting some hours she was
assisted to her brothers house,
she became completely pros
trated.-Denver Tribune.

taken from the quarry at a point
