A writer in New York paper suo.

A writer in New York paper sug-
gests the following plan to prevent ia
tai mistakes by druggists: 'It is
known that there is q maXimal dose
for every poison, which means that not
more than Il certain quantity should be
administered at one time. That guam
tity varies with the poison; for NOR
phine it is about half a grain. Now
my proposition is that the receptacle
for morphine in daily use, which must
be near at hand, shall, by law, contain
only prepared powders, none of which
shall exceed the 'maXimal dose. In
such case there is hardly possibility
of Il mistake occurring; but even if
there should be it would not be at
tended with fatal results. Apotheca-
ries will in time find it for their own
convenience to keep smaller doses of
morphine prepared in the same way,
and which are generally prescribed
for instance, one-quarter, one-slXth,
one-ei9hth of grain, etc

From an illustrated criticism on
Riverside Park" by William A. Stiles,
In the October Century, we quote the
following: ''Snce the foregoing de-
scription Of Riverside and its possibili-
ties was written an element of the most
serious significance has been introduced
by the selection of Claremont Heights
for the Grant mausoleum. A structure
fifty commemorative of the high
achievement and patriotic devotion of
the nations foremost soldier might
well consist with the spirit and pur-
pose OF the park; but the actual sepul-
ture OF the hero at this key-point ne
cessltates some compromise with the
prevalent idea of festal assemblaoe.
A certain isolation must be granted to
the tomb in Difference to the sentiment
of reverence, and yet in view of the
limitations of the ground at this point
OF focal and eliminating interest it is
not desirable that the surrounding
space should be considerably encroach-
ed upon. The adjustment of conflict
ing claims OF this sort is one phase of
the complex problem presented, and
obviously satisfactory result can only
be reached after the closest study and
the most judicious treatment. On the
other hand it should be remembered
that Riverside would possess no mon
ument to Grant if his dust were not
laid to rest beneath it, and that this
presence will add an impressiveness to
the monument which belongs to none
of the memorial works reared else
where. The spot will henceforth be
invested with national and historic
interest which will lend new conse-
quence and dignity to the park. This
increased Importance will encourage
such maintenance as the work merits
and help to preserve it from being
turned over to traffic or perverted to
alien use. Riverside, until yesterday
unheard OF, is already a familiar word
the world over. 1t was the solemni-
ties at Claremont that first introduced
thousands of people who live within
the city limits to Il public ground of
whose existence they had been hardly
aware. But q few months ago one
might traverse the drive from end to
end without encountering more people
than would be met in the same distance
on lionel y country road. The memo
rial grounds have even now proved
helpful to the park, and the interest
kindled will not fail The Heights of
Claremont offer many artistic advan-
tages as the site of an imposing struct-
ure, and these advantages will remain.
The idea Of mortality suggested by the
tomb is not congenial with the motive
OF the recreation ground. but this idea
will gradually fade out as years roll
on, and the man of heroic stature as
sumes his rightful place in history
among the worlds leaders who live
for evermore."
