Curing a Fair Hypochondriac.

Among the guests OF fashionable uptown
who enjoys the most robust health, but who
until recently made her friends and neighbo,s
believe that she was a suffering woman and
endured all the ills and complaints to be
found in a medica! encyclopedia. She would
come down to breakfast every morning, and
would at once begin to narrate the story OF
her painful suffering during the previous
night. One day it would be neuralgia, the
next bronchitis, and SO on until apparently
almost every portion OF her body was af-
fected. While she was generally admired for
her mental and social qualities, still the mo-
notonous recitals finally became an affection
to her friends. They prayed for deliverance
and then set about devising scheme to effect
it. A large sheet Of foolscap paper was hung
up in one corner of the large dining room and
headed in large letters: Bulletin of Mrs.
IS health Every time the lady was
heard to make a complaint some one would
sneak up and record it on the sheet. At the
end of two weeks the list of ailments covered
the entire sheet, and the most remarkable
feature II it was that no two of the COM
plants were alike The fair sufferers atten-
ton had never been drawn to the daily record
of her health until the bottom line Of the
led courteously to the corner to read the pitt
ful story of her sutferings. The humorous
side affected her forcibly, and she broke out
into a merry peal of laughter. She was
cured.-New York Evening Sun.

dispensing OF Prescriptions.

One of the British medical journals gives
the results of an inquiry undertaken in a GER
tain district to ascertain the degree of accur-
acy which was observed in the dispensing Of
prescriptions. In all, 80 prescriptions were
sent out-namely, 80 to chemists and drug
gists, ii to cooperative stores. = to doctors
shops" and to certain drug companies.
They decided 70 give liberal margin for er-
rors, and accordingly did not schedule any
prescription as incorrectly made if the chief
constituents were within 10 per cent. Of the
amount ordered. According TO this classifica-
ton no fewer than Il out Of the 80 prescrip-
tons were incorrectly dispensed; the limits
Of error were also very wide indeed, for in
one case the quantity of the drug supplied
was less by s. per cent than that ordered.
and in another So per cent. more than had
been ordered The chemists and druggists
pure and simple came out OF this ordeal with
great credit. as in only two cases did the
errors mount up so largely as 70 De scheduled,
while cooperative stores figure On the black
list three times, the doctors shop" once, and
the drug company three times. Briefly,

worthy; also, 20 per cent Of those from

Pecgliarities of Iichens.

The lichcn is remarkable for the great
age TO which il lives; there is good ground
for believing that they endure as long as
100 years. An authority states that some
plants have been found by actual observa-
ton 10 endure IS years. Their growth is
exceedingly slew. indicating that only a
little nourishment serves 10 keep them
alive. In dry time they have power of
suspending growth altogether, renewing
ii again at the fall of rain. In time OF
rain they change their color, becoming
greener. Another interesting fact about
Hchens Is that they grow only where the
air is fire. from smoke or dust They are
never fsond growing in the neighborhood
OF towns, where the atmosphere is i'm
rregnated with SCOT and smoke. Thus
these plants afford an indication Of the

EARTH's LAST KISS.

Earth's last kiss to the dying day
Over the surf and the tawny sands;
Lips are parted, and far away,
A light goes down In the faint cloud lands.
Earth's last kiss ere the autumn star
Shines like q jewel in nights crown,
And dusty blossoms from yon blue bar
Sparkle and cling their radiance down.
Earth's last kiss ere the seabirds scream
Summers farewell from the wildhowers' height,
And winds steal forth from the cliffs dark seam,
Moaning their musical last Good night
Esrth's last kiss ard the eyes are strained
And arms Outstretched, for the gloom draws
nigh;
But lips have net and love is drained
Earth's last kiss, dearest love. good-by.
