TACkS Nv BEEF,
New York World.


Housekeepers and others should
carefully inspect the beef they pur-
chase for home consumption. A new
danger has arisen, from which very
serious consequences may be appre-
hended. The shippers of dressed beef
in the west have begun to use small
double-pointed tack, somewhat larger
than those used for fastening down
mattings, in the place of wooden
skewers for more firmly binding to-
gether different parts of the beef. The
retailers, through neglect or ignorance,
fail to remove the barbed wires, and
being small they remain invisible until
some unfortunate diner is well-nigh
chOked by their lOdgment in his throat.
Two Philadelphia ladies' met with lust
such all accident, and the services of a
physician were necessary to remove the
wires. which had become firmly en-
bedded in the epiglottis, causing, as
may be imagined, the most intense
pain. Thorough mastication will, of
course, disclose their presence in the
meat; but the average American rarely
indulges in that preliminary operation.

Duplicate bills were introduced in the
senate and house on the 18th, providing
for the reduction of the Belknap and
Blackfeet agencies in Montana and the
restoration of the surplus to the public
domain. Provisions is also made for the
Indians on these reservations, embracing
Blackfeet Bloods, Gros Ventres, Piegans,
etc. They are to have the benefits of an
appropriation of$l5o, 900 in the aggregate
to be expended in providing them with
facilities for cultivating their lands. The
act alro contemplates the distribution Of
these lands in severalty when provisional
legislative action has been had. This is
a movement in the right direction. There
are millions of acres of valuable land in
Montana bound up by reservation lines
which are not utilized by the Indians for
any other purpose than as refuge after
q raid on the ranchman's stock. And it
is only question of time when the In
dian policy will provide for the distribu7

Sl0venly Writers.

The lot of printers is not happy one
since in his honest daily and nightly
labors to earn his bread and water, he is
required to decipher. so much execrable
manuscript The life of the druggist is
scarcely more blissful, for while the
amount of bad chirography he is called
upon to make out may be less. the re-
sponsibility attending its translation into
meaning is much greater. The idea that
bad handwriting and mental greatness
must 60 together was long ago exploded;
but unfortunately, doctors, as well as
editors, are disposed to slovenliness in
the use of the pen and pencil. The
druggists say we'll written prescription
one that is perfectly safe, utterly in
capable of being misconstrued-is the ex-
ception. According to a Philadelphia
paper, well-known pharmacist of that
city recently studied for week pre-
scription that had been handed to him,
and finally had to "give it up" The
same paper says there are several well
known physicians in that city whose
handwriting is so miserably bad that
druggists dread to have their prescrip-
tons handed over the counter, and only
from experience and by careful study are
the formulas of many others deciphered.
So important is this matter of handwrit-
ing in prescriptions, and so numerous
were the sins of this kind, that the
County Medical Society was obliged to
publish the following ''hint" for the pur.
pose of preventing the occurrence of
mistakes. physicians should write
their prescriptions carefully and legibly
making use of good paper, and whenever
possible, of pen and ink. When obliged
to write with pencil, they should take
the precaution to fold the prescription
twice, 80 as to prevent Its being de-
faced"
