Queer FancieS.
English Elk.

Some eminent specialists maintain that
one-third of mankind are crazy and ought
to be in asylumS. DR.. johnson wonId
have been considered insane because he
insisted on touching all the gateposts he
passed in London.
There is a well-known literary man in
London now who has the same habit. He
admits that the tendency is almost ire
sistible. Sometimes, when he is ap-
preaching a gatepost which he cannot
touch, because it is surrounded by other
people, he will turn back and go some
other way. He will stop in the hardest
rainstorm to put his finger on post
This eccentricity has got him into q
predicament more than once. The owner
of a house in the West End once pursued
him and demanded to know why he had
tempered with his gate, threatening tc
call the police. On one occasion, while
travelling in the country, he rode back g
mile to touch gate which he had passed
and omitted to touch.
The late Secretary Folger had an ides
that there was charm in the figure 3
When boy, and later on in life, he had {
fashion of doing thing three times that
only had to be done once. He would eat
three peaches-no more and no less. Il
he had four he would throw one away. Il
he should eat more than three he would
eat twice three or three times three. Il
he was to ride on horseback he would
mount three times before starting. UE
to his death he had way of saying
good day" three times to those he met
and in letters to his family he invariably
wrote on three pages.
Judge Folger often alluded to the
idiosyncrasy. He said that from his
earliest remembrance he had had an over.
towering belief in the cabalistic power
of the number three. He thought it had
been transmitted to him from his father
or that he had received it from a super
stitious nurse. When a small boy he
walked mile to school, and he afterwards
acknowledged that he had, OF more than
one day, traversed the distance three
times, making six miles in all, before
he felt safe in entering the schoolhouse.
1t was said of Thomas Jefferson that he
would never permit any person to cui his
hair. He used the scissors himself He
had superstition that his strength would
depart if he allowed any one else to cut
his hair.
The late Theodore Stevens could not
pass pin without picking it up. Futher-
more, he always walked round, if neces-
sary, to get the point toward him before
picking it up.
The venerable philanthropist, Mr.. W. W.
Corcoran, will not sit down until he has
raised the chair.

and compare the state of his mind, when
he goes to sleep or gets up the next morn
ing with his state, some other day, when
he has spent some hours in going through
the proofs by facts and reasoning, of the
great doctrines of natural science, learn
ing truths wholly new to him, satisfying
himself, by careful examination of the
grounds on which the known truths rest,
so as not to be not only acquainted with
the doctrines themselves, but be able to
show why he believes them and to prove
to others that they are true he will find
as great difference as can exist in the
same being-the difference between
looking back upon the time unproftably
wasted and time spent in self improve
ment; he will feel himself, in one case
listless and dissatisfied, and in the other
comfortable and happy, in the one case,
if he hid not appear to himself humble,
at least, he will not have earned any claim
to his own respect: in the other case, he
will enjoy proud consciousness of hay
ing, by his own exertions, and therefore
a more exalted opinion.

Artificial Quinine.

"Qu1nlne opium, IN various forms and
under various names, are used by physic-
lans more than any other drugs" said
DR.. FL. M. Whelpley editor of the Ma
tional Druggist, in conversation with
a reporter. ''Chemists have for several
years said 1t was possible to make qui-
nine chemically, and the world of those
interested has been waiting for some
one; to do it. In 1882 a Frenchman an
nounced he had discovered the process
and deposited a sample of his qui1ine
with the French institute. aOn examina-
ton it proved to be sulphate of ANN onia
instead of sulphate of quinine. Most of
the experiment has been directed toward
making quinine of cinchonidine, which
is made from the same bark, but is of
lesser value and is cheaper than quinine
Chemically there is little difference be-
tween them. Cinchonidine consists of
10 parts carbon, % parts hydrogen, 2
parts nitrogen and l part oxygen; quinine
contains 20 parts carbon, "a parts hydro
gen, parts nitrogen and parts oxy-
gen. The problem has been with chem
lists to add the one part carbon, parts
hydrogen and part oxygen. They have
not been successful in this endeavor.
There is nothing wonderful in the claim
that quinine could be made from other
things than the bark. Fruit essences
are now made without fruits, and other
items of chemical stock are made chemi-
cally without the Intervention of the
usual natural product. Yet the medical
world was disturbed last September when
DR.. Cresswell Hewitt, of London, an
nounced he had discovered process to
make quinine. He made no effort to es-
tablish this claim or submit his product
to test; but have just received letter
from London telling of the formation of
a company to manufacture the drug on
DR.. Hewitt's process. He still keeps all
all particulars to himself, and it is not
known whether the cinchona bark is the
basis of his process, or from what he
manufactures the drug. The company
is called the Atlas Quinine Company, and
[ am informed has large capital. If Hew-
lit has discovered what he claims he will
have made US independent of the irregu-
lar supply from the countries where the
t1ess grow that produce the bark, and
while the price of the drug may not be
materially reduced it will not rise IN
time of war in those countries. Then,
too, his success will stimulate othe chem
lists to experiments looking to the manu-
facture of other drugs without reliance
on the natural product. Morphine may
be made from something other than
opium, etc. 1t, however, remains to be
seen what Dr.. Hewitt has really accom-
plished."

Nuts and Kernels.
Novernbo A tIQntia

The difference in our estimate of PEG
pie and things depends on how we take
them. If we eat the whole nut, we find G
good deal that is coarse and innutritious
but if we have the habit of picking out
the kernel, we generally find it sweet.
even the squirrel knows enough for that.
Persons of very wide and valied exper-
fence are apt to acquire this squirreleous
wisdom. Out of each of their battles,
seighs, and fortunes they have contriyed
to extract a central core that was inter
esting. The crude remainder of incident
circumstances, like the philanthropical
warrior with the broken leg, at least serv-
ed ''to pass away the time"
A neighbor of mine finds human ma
ture very humdrum. People bore him
terribly. Hven in ones self there may
be found some deeply hidden bit of good
meat, however thick the shuck and shell.
How delightful, and perennially delight
full, is that friend who seems to have dis
covered this kernel in our hasky nature!
What an agreeable day we pass when he
succeeds, for the time being. in making
it visible to ourselves.
AS experienced persons learn to extract
the kernels from the real world, so con-
templative persons learn to do it with
books. Macaulay was said to be able to
stop minute at book-stall, and pluck
