The o-much-talked-of Ameer of At
ghanistan, Abdurrahman by name, is a
man of about forty-fve years of age. He
was some twenty years old when he
began his deadly contest with his uncle,
Shere Ali, for the throne OF Cabul. He
fought, however, not for himself, but in
the interest of bis father. 4 terrible
civil war lasted for over six years. At
last, in 1869, he was forced to fly for his
life to Russian Turkestan, and was there
taken care of by the government of the
Car for some twelve years. His time
came again with Lord Lytton's high
handed proceedings. When the English
invaded Afghanistan and caused Shere
Ali to fly, his son Yakoob came into
power, but was, after four months, de-
posed and interned in India, consequent
upon the murder of Ceyaguari and the
British mission. The subsequent British
interregnum at Cabul lasted until the
autumn of 1880, when Sir Donald Stew
art handed over the government to the
present Ameer,

QUEER ORDERS FOR DRUGS.
How PLY siciaps Write Prescriptions.


1.-THE run On cough medicines has
begun" remarked the proprietor of a
corner drugstore to a reporter the
other evening, and it is time to put
away the cholera mixtures. We drug
gists have to change our supplies
frequently to meet the changes In de-
maad as one season follows another.
Of course, some drugs always are in
demand, such as quinine, opium, and
potash. These drugs are kno wn to us
as "base" drugs, because they are
used as the base of nearly all pre-
scriptions. Physicians usually write
the names of several condiments alon
with the active drug, thus giving tn
prescri ption quite a formidable appear
ance to the uninitiated. Sometimes a
physician will write the name of the
drug which he wishes to have used as
the base of a prescription with toler-
able clearness and then make some
eligible scrawls which the intelligent
druggist will translate Season as you
like" Few of . druggists difficulties
are chargeable 10 the regular physi-
clans, Most druggists have to under
take the sponsioility of prescribing
for customers Every hour OR SO some
person comes in TO describe the loca-
ton and violence of his pains in order
TO get relief. Ten 20 one have ordi-
nary troubles which a druggist can
heal as well as not, and they get for a
few cents what would cost dollars if
consulted physicians. But the extra
one may have only the preliminary
symptoms of serious disease, and in
his experience with a druggist who
has no medical training may result dis
astrously.
you would be surprised at the num-
Der Of pulling orders for drugs which
come 10 d drugstore. Persons who
are not good spoilers hear the name Of
some medicine and afterward forget
the exact sound. When they want
to use that particular medicine they
try to spell 1t from sound as they re
member it. Most druggists are able to
tell at glance what is wanted, or a
few questions to the bearer of the Or
der, such as, What is this wanted
FORE will solve the mystery. I have
kept IN my drawer some curious
orders that have been sent
here within month. Just glance at
these and see if you can decipher all
of then."
Several scraps of paper on which
were scrawls Of various degrees OF
ugliness, were laid before the report
er. One woman, who was more fam
liar with broom-Aandle than with
a pen, wanted oxalic acid $50 take off
stanes," but she wrote ''axillick asid. 81
the order ''for Mrs. Mulcare, sense
with st. Peter" was plainly meant for
salt petre; q demand for "McCarthy
pills. puzzled the scribe until he
thought of cathartic pills; but the call
for bottle of Sederate for Canstiffn
ers" was given up as too hard for the
reporter to solve. The druggist laugh
ed and said it was an easy one. The
man who sent il only wanted a bottle
of citrate of magnesia.

HOW to Get Strong.

Dumb-bells and horizontal bars, Indian clubs
and the trapeze are valuable under certain con-
ditions, but they are detrimental rather than
beneficial if the blood is poor and thin and pois-
oned with bile. Use of the muscles uecessitates
waste as well as induces growth. If the blood
does not carry suffeient nutrtive material to re-
pair the waste, loss of strength necessarily fol-
lows, and growth is out of the question. Purify
and enrich your blood with DR.. Pierce's ''Golaen
Medical Discovery" and then exercise will develop
and not consume your physique.

UNDERGROUND WIRES.
A Comprehensive System of Telephone
Circuits in the Paris Sewers.

A Comprehensive System of Telephone
Circuits in the Paris Sewers.
Electrical Worldl
When the telephone was first introduced
in Paris, the small number of subscribers
permitted the use Of overhead lines; but, as
the number increased, it soon became appa-
rent that some other method of running
them would have to be adopted, especially
as many house-owners asked 500 francs, and
some even demand 1000 francs year for
granting the privilege of erecting a single
bracket on the side of a chimney. Added to
these persons were number of others who
withdrew their privileges on account of the
humming noise produced by the swinging
wires. The most natural way out of the
difficulty, of course was to run the wires
through the sewers, and in 1850, upon the
consolidation of the principal companies
into single one, bearing the name of LA
Societee General des Telephones" this
method was adopted.
The city of Paris opened its sewers to the
telephone company, in consideration of a
rental and the telephone wires found a rest
ing place near the telegraph wires, which
had already been placed there. The city let
out space thirty centimeters about twelve
inches) wide, and ten centimeterS about four
inches) thick along the vault of the sewer,
which allo we'd the company to attach triple
hooks on which fifty -one cables Of forty con-
ductors each are hung All telephone cir
cults in Paris are metallic, no grounl re-
| turns being used, the object being to avoid
induction. Conseq uently, every circuit re-
quires two single conductors, and these are
twisted together and covered with a layer of
cotton of the same color
Seven such double wires, covered with
| different cotton, in order to distinguish them
easily, are wrapped about with tarred tape
and inclosed in a lead pipe, which is redrawn
after the wires are inserted, in order to make
a close-titting covering. The multiple cables
| of fourteen wires, constituting seven con-
| ductors, inclosed in lead, have an external
diameter of eighteen millimeters, and they
are worth from ! to francs per meter, ac-
| cording TO the current price Of lead, copper,
and gutta percha The length of the cable
| is about 400 meters, and it is only at the end
| of one Of these sections that the individual
| circuits are soldered and lead out into the
buildings occupied by the subscribers. These
| single circuits are also covered with lead,
| and are carried in a small trench under the
sidewalks into the buildings The small
cables are eight millimeters in diameter.
