Success in Literary worle

No man can tell whether a book will
take or not. The criticism Of the press
seems 10 have little effect upon the pop
ularity of n book. Some books owe their
success to singular combinations of cir
cumstances. \ book that had the phe-
nomenal sale of 25, 900 copies owed It's
success very largely TO the auspices UNI
der which il was brought out. A book
that otherwise would fall fat might hap
pen to come out just in the nick of time
TO strike a popular chord. l think that
most successful authors soon find that
they make more at other literary work
than writing books. Some 60 into the

Ingenious Invention .sr Druggists.

In order to avoid errors in dispensing
pOisons, an ingenious inventor a few
years ago constructed q patent shelf upon
which all the bottles containing poisons
were 10 be placed. Ii is made of two
metallic plates, held apart by a spring,
and % evenly balanced that when one
bottle is taken of the equilibrium is
destroyed and the plates come together,
which creates IN electric current, and an
alarm bell is rung. Thus, II a CLERK
should take down a bottle Of poison, the
alarm would attract his attention and
warn hiEl of the dangerous drug. This
was called the poison bell" They were
introduced into drug stores all over The
country, but they never became popular
ON account of a peculiar trait in all GUS
toners. When the alarm rung, the Gus
toner would ask: s'What does that
mcanl' and when told it was the poison
bell" the innovation was never forgot
ten, and ever afterward the customer
would feel rather chary about taking the
prescription when he heard the warning
tones of the ''poison bell" In this way
it would not be a great while until nearly
all the customers found out the meaning
of the alarm.
As many people have a superstitious
fear about taking medicine with poison
in it, they would imagine hat possibly
the doctor or the prescription clerk was
making n mistake, and they would hesi-
tate in accepting the medicine. Poisons
are used in small amounts in a vast num-
Der of prescriptions, and the poison
bell' was kept busy in attracting the
painful attention of the customers. Why,
a nervous Lady would come in with a
harmless prescription, but the moment
the poison bell' rung she would be as
disconnected as if its tones were her
death knell. Hence, the ''poison bell"
fell into disuse, as it was continually
arousing the apprehension of customers.
One other superstition, | might say, that
customers have is the prevailing idea that
medicines OF a green color are poison.
Several harmless compounds will pro-
duce a green color, but customers are in
variably suspicious OF theme. Falk in

Messages for the Wires.

Intelligent receiving clerks in the
larger telegraph offices have the best
possible opportunities for the study Of
human nature. The half written
messages left at the close of each days
business often constitute a volume Of
half finished romances. 1t is curious, for
example, how occasional messages, that
is, messages inspired by an occasion
likely to suggest the same general train
of thought in the average mind, will run
in verbal grooves. The time win come,
no doubt, when the telegraph companies
will have printed blanks Of coincidence,
