During the epidemic of typhoid fever in
Paris much was said of the valuable re-
suits gained in the hospitals by the use
of heavy doses of quinine. But the
Progress Medical discovers that the quinine
used was adulterated with Sc per
cent.of other matter, and now the questions
arise, were the good results really obtained,
and, if so, what is the true value of qui-

A Pittsburg expert declares that $4,000
600 worth of coal is wasted each year in
the mining operations of that district. His
explanation is that beneath the main vein
of coal, which averages four feet thick, is
a seam of eighteen inches called bottom
coal This is softer than the regular bed,
and after room is worked it cannot be
taken out with safety. The pillars which
support the roof, the smallest containing
three tons of coal, and the largest twenty,
are also abandoned.
Mr.. Blest was eighty and Miss Runnion
eighteen. LIe proposed marriage, and she
consented with the proviso that he should
take her to the adjacent village of Byron,
Wis, to buy a toilet outfit. He gladly did
this, though she made shopping very
costly to him. When all the purchases had
| been packed IN three trunks, and sent to
the railroad station, she had them checked
for Chicago instead of home, and went
away with them, leaving her aged lover to
find out that she had made fool of him.
Philadelphia has a cooperative store
with sales now amounting to $250,000 per
annum, and paying per cent dividends to
the shareholders. 1t was begun eight years
ago by several men who worked in fac
tory, and thought it would be good idea
to cheapen provisions by buying in lots
and then dividing. They formed little
society, and kept their stock in room of
members residence. Next they hired
small store, and from that the business has

Miss Chamberlain, upon whom has
lighted for the present the somewhat bur-
densome title of THE Beautiful American
is spending the winter very quietly at
Cannes with her mother. Her quiet and
gentle manners have made her a great IA
vorite with the elderly English ladies who
frequent that exclusive little town. She
received q great deal of kind attention from
the ladies of the royal family before leav-
ing London, and attended several official
ceremonies..in the suite of the Princess of
Wales. !
Emily Melville, the comic opera singer,
is the wife OF San Francisco merchant
named Dudley. She bade him farewell
few weeks ago as she took her departure
for professional tour in Australia. She
had previously been caught in an attempt
to elope with Tom Caseli, tenor, but
had tearfully confessed contrition and re-
form. An old man, wearing high-collared
ulster and goggles, boarded the same
steamer, and soon after it sailed the hus-
band found that this was Caselli in dis
guise. divorce has been granted.
The British Medical Journal says that
considerable commotion has been caused
in the drinking world by a statement
that owing to the scarcity of hops, such ar
ticles as columbia root, chamomile, quas-
STA, and chiretta are likely to be largely
used in producing ''the flavor dear to the
consumer of bitter" The Journal thinks
it unnecessary for the great brewers to de-
clare so emphatically that they will use
hops only, as there is nothing in the SUBJ
stitutes mentioned that would prove other
wise than beneficial to the bee drinker.
The foreign commerce of Philadelphia
is falling away again. From 1873 to 1876
it was almost stationary, but from 1877 to
1879 it rapidly grew, until it reached its
maximum in the latter year, with $40 for
eign arrivals, of which 229 were steam
ships. Since then each year has shown
falling off until there were only 1901 in
last year, and the total for the year was
less than the average for the past ten.
The number of steamships also fell off I'M
til, from 1879 to 1881, the slight gain last
year being more than balanced by the loss
in barks and ships.
The famous blue laws of Connecticut,
enacted by "the people of the Dominion of
New Haven were so called because
printed on blue paper. They prohibited
the ceremony of marriage being performed
by parson, on the strange ground that a
magistrate might perform it with less
scandal to the church. Adultery was pun
ished with death. Wearing clothes
trimmed with gold, silver, or lace above
one shilling yard involved tax on the
persons estate of SIS. 'No one to cross
river on the Sabbath but authorized clergy
men. No one shall travel, cook, make beds,

'Old-man-not-ashame -his-pi," is not
inappropriately applied to old ex-senator
