The law requiring the registration of
aPothecares has been generally complied
with in Augusta, with perhaps one exception,
and in this case the spothecary employs reg
istered clerk. One of our leading druggists
was instrumental in procuring the passage of
the measure, and the text of the law was
drawn up by well known Augusta lawyer,
now deceased. The law, however, is held by
several leading lawyers to be unconstitutional
The business, it is said, is perfectly honor
able and legitimate one, and any person
choosing to enter into it cannot be pre-
vented constitutionally. Again, the pub
lie has the right to purchase their
drugs wherever they please and if
they patronize unreliable druggists
then they must suffer. In is also said that
the registration law does not protect as de-
signed, 1t is not inexperienced druggists
that always make blunders, but often those
who have been engaged in the business a
long term of years. 1t was not long since
that DR.. Harlow. one of the best druggists
in Bangor, put up poison for some harmless
preparation. 1t was swallowed by a lady and

although the cheapest in the list of

taurant dinner for two which cost %
francs, including a bottle of medium
Bordeaux, would be q far from mod
est" repast. Indeed, it would be a
very plenteous repast, and Partisan res
taurants are always expensive, owing,
first, to the extravagant rents of houses
on the fashionable boulevards; next 20
the enhancement, through the "octroi"
duties, of the price of provisions; and.
thirdly, in consequence of the rapacity
of the proprietors. There is no "octroi"
in New York; the market prices for
fish, meat, game, vegetables, and poul-
try would be considered wonderfully
cheap by q London housekeeper; but
house RENTS as extravagantly high,
and the rapacity of the fashionable
New York restaurant-keeper is as in
satiable AZ that of his congener on the
Boulevard des Capucines At the same
time, it must be conceded that there
are plenty of places in Manhattan
where dinner or luncheon of varied
and substantial and even of semi
elegant kind can be obtained at q COM

tries of Don Giovanni To be sure, ut
these colossal tables d'hote, considera-
bly, more attention is paid to quantity

Novel Use OF Greenbacks.

What becomes of all the green

The readers will often see in the

like this: National bank notes re-

carried to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and placed in machine con-
tanning immense knives, which chop
the notes into fragments. TIL separation
is conducted under the supervision of
three officers of the Treasury Depart
ment, especially detailed for this bust
ness. No one is allowed to be present
at this daily maceration of the notes
except the officials and the mon who
run the machine. They are compelled
to remain in the room until each separ-
ate note is destroyed. They must ac-
count in detail afterward to the re-
demption bureau OF each note; and,
should one become lost or mislaid, and
afterward find its way into circulation,

process, this mass is nodded into

"But You will have no moro trouble
there is no one in the school that would
give you trouble, except the Bradley
boys, and as long as am there 1 will
answer for their good behavior"
At last Jim's cloquence prevailed,
and Alice finally consented to teach a

time she decided to stay, for never did
school move along more smoothly.
At her request Jim was allowed to re-

closed he went to college.

fed, for Jim Turner came back and

The following story has it's moral:
An elderly gentleman started across q
broad street. Three young ladies, all
abreast, started at the same moment
from the other side. The sprinkler had
made pools of mud on either side Of
the crossing. The old gentleman
stepped clear to the edge, but the
young woman in front of him literally
bore down on him W tn no idea that he
would not plunge his fresh-polished
gaiter into the STOP on the right OF the
dry crossing. The old man looked at
the mud, he looked at the young lady,
and then he waited until she was within
easy reach of him, when he gently but
firmly taking her hands in his, held her,
and said, in low tone: MY dear
young lady, cannot step into the mud.
L would give you the way if it was NEG
essary-any gentleman would: But it rs
not necessary, because you and your
companions could walk single file and
not force anybody off. Always remem-
Der that while it Is the duty of q gentle
man to be polite and ohivalrous to Ia
dies, it Is woman's duty to be consid.
crate, and not make his Difference q
self-sacrifice. At first the girl was
amazed, dumbfounded Then she tried
to twist herself loose, but the gentle
man was firm as rock, and held her
perfectly still until he had finished his
neat and needful little address At it's
close the lady rushed off through the
thin mud crying with modification, ell
bowling herself through the small
crowd who had been detained on the
crossing-stones ut their sides -TeJp-
