In the Drug Store.

Few persons, when they take phy- sician's prescription to druggists shop, appreciate the measure of responsibility which they thus impose upon the apoth- ecary. It is generally thought that the work of the man behind the counter is merely clerical that, with the formula distinctly made out by the doctor, all that he has to do is to mix the ingre- dients, paste label upon the box or bottle, and receive the customers mon- ey. Sometimes the apothecary's work IS easy enough, when the prescription is carefully written and contains no bewil- dering errors, but frequently a physi- clan of good reputation and sound ability will provide task for O drug clerk the proper fulflIment of which could not be accomplished by a man whose capacity is limited to disposi' tion to faithfully obey orders. The handwriting of physicians as a class, judging from the specimens to be found ln any druggists book of prescriptions, IS ingeniousiy bad, and much time Is often wasted by drug clerks in striving to decipher Latin words illegibly writ, ten. Too many physicians scrawl their prescriptions with so much haste that they are liable to make errors which might lead to serious results if the apoth. ecary did not keep his wits about him. Only week or so ago Q physician, tol- erably we'll known in New York, pre- pared 8 prescription, which was pre- sented by young man at a drug store which he required the use of iodide of potassium. With his knowledge of medicine the apothecary in charge saw at a glance that the iodide was out of place, and that If he used it the invalid would be injured. Requesting the cus- toner to be seated, and politely assur- ing him at the same time that his med icine would soon be ready, the apothe- cary sent to the physicians house a messenger who returned in few minutes with the thanks of the doctor and an order to substitute bromide of potassium for the iodide. Many physicians in these days, when thousands of young men are turned out annually from the various schools, furnished with the diplomas of medical practitioners, are ignorant of certain facts in chemistry which every apothecary knows by rote. Prescriptions are constantly sent to the druggists in which the ingredients will not properly amalgamate without the addition of others of harmless nature, and upon the apothecary is imposed the selection of these. Drug clerks some. times make errors themselves, but, in view of the facts, it seems remarkable that such mistakes do not occur oftener. They are subjected to no little abuse in the newspapers and elsewhere, but, as matter of fact, the public owes them 6 debt of gratitude as the barrier between the invalid and the unskillful or careless physician.

A Coop CURE.-The late Dr. John F. Gray, Americas pioneer homeopathist, once gave to poor sewing girl who came to him for advice vial of medi- cine, and told her to go home, take the dose and go to bed. She replied that she could not do so, as she was de- pendent on her daily earning for a liv- ing. Then," said he, "IlI have to change the medicine 8 little. Taking back the vial, he wrapped it in ten dollar bill, and returning it to her, re- peated the order: !" Go home and go to bed. and take the medicine, wrapper and all. P

The Newspaper Instinct.

In lecture upon "Knights of the Quill" MT. Howard Patterson, Brook lyn journalist, sensibly told his audience the other evening that "he supposed there was no gentleman present who was vested with literary skill who did not think that he would be easily equal to the work of reporter. The chances were that he was entirely mistaken. The newspaper instinct was not a gen. eral possession. A hundred colleges might equip hundred men with daz- zling requirements, and still fail to turn out an interesting writer"

CoKINa CoRN.-Green corn is half ruined if you cut it from the cob. The process of munching an ear of corn is not very fascinating one for the look CTS on, but there Is no excuse for ever looking at another while he is eating. To get the full worth of the corn you must eat it direct from the cob. After the plain boiled ear, the best prepars- tion of corn is as fritter. Corn frit- ters, if properly made, are hard to excel,

Forest County and its Records.

Forest County was formed of parts
of Jefferson and Venango counties.
Until 1867, when the addition from
Venango county was made, little, if
any, notice was taken of the infant
county; since then she has built and
completely paid for a court house,
which, considering the size and popu-
lation Of the county, compares favora-
bly, with any in Pennsylvania her
Jail is a substantial structure, and it
may be stated, much to the credit Of
the county, hardly ever has an occu.
pant. The lumber interest of the
county is carried on by men who un-
derstand their business, and in a
manner that makes the industry a
matter Of material benefit to the citi-
zens. In this direction there are
immense tracts of timber within
Forest county's borders which will for
years yet occupy the attention of our
already prosperous lumbermen. Now,
new industry and source Of wealth
seems breaking in upon us: The de.
velopments in the upper townships OF
our county indicate that ere one year
passes Forest county will be the oil
field of Pennsylvania. Land owners
of the county are all interested in
these matters; one drawback to the
interest Of persons owning land in this
county is the fact that the records OF
titles previous to its organization
remain in Jefferson and Venango
counties, which is o source Of great
inconvenience, for the reason that no
statements of any title can be made
without trip to franklin or Brook
vile. Some owners have had their
deede recorded here lately, even when
they had been recorded previously in
Venango and Jefferson counties
some getting certified copies
from these counties and have them
recorded in our county Recorders
office. Now, this is not as it should
be a petition is being circulated
through the county asking the court
to order the transfer of the records
pertaining to this county from We
mango and Jefferson counties here il
books furnished by aud at the proper
expense to the county. This is a move
in the right direction, and when done
our county will stand Independent
from these counties in matter o.
records, and of prosperity, too, as ial
as that is concerned Let the citizens

and from there following Tionesto

gineer has rented rooms for himself
