A Drug Clerk.

Few people appreciate the experien co
and education which it is necessary to
have IN order to become a good, ''ordin.
airy" drug clerk. Tho fact is that the
pharmaceutist needs to know quite us
much about medicine as the physician.
He must understand thoroughly the
character of the different drugs which
he handles, what effect they will have
singly or in combination, and the huns
dred and one details of q business re-
quiring great care and watchfulness
and no little accurate information.
This being the case it is somewhat
strange that some druggists will employ
untutored Office boys TO put up prescrip-
tions in their absence. The secretary
of the Wisconsin state board of phar-
macy recently discovered this state OF
affairs in the store OF u Chippewa Falls
druggist and very properly had him
fined $50.

An Estimate of Sheridan,

Globe-Democrat: Grant was made to
be trusted; Sherman to be admired;
Sheridan to be loved. The whole makeA
up of the man was that of a great, inns
pulsive, warm-hearted boy. He did not
60 labeled with his greatness, but with
his tenderness and Kindness. He had
only to speak to his men to win them to
do what he wished. He gave nc orders
that did not involve himself. His boys
expected victory because Phil was with
them. On the whole, the civil war
brought out 10 one who was so magnetic
and magnificent rs our Philip. Grant
was tenacious and all-willful; Sherman
a great strategist, and planner Of CAM
paigns but Sheridan was in battle by
all odds the greatest general. So Grant
reckoned him, and so will history doubt
less place him. But now We mourn him
not as Il general, but as q friend.

OF paint to another, or from paint to
varnish, it must be cleaned. Soap and
water well applied with the hands will
clean it, but the job is unpleasant.
Nottie nloway went to a tinsmith and
ha Gallon cup made of tin. A stout
wiz. 9th scrub floor" as she calls it,
vas suspended by wire pendants about
two inches above the bottom of the cup.
Then at the top and on one side a sub
stantial cup was secured that was large
enough to hold half a cake of laun-
dry soap and leave some room to
spare. Now the brush could be easily
cleaned. 1t was soused in q basin Of
hot water, rubbed over the cake of soap
and then brushed vigorously to and fro
over the scrub floor, the amateur painter
meantime holding the cup steady with
her left hand by a handle provided for
the purpose. When the brush was
cleaned the scrub floor was removed
and the slops emptied into the drain.
No provision for cleaning the handle of
the brush was made, because a oma
neat enough to want such a device as
this would never get the handle dirty.
Kate L. Beard was a Texas lady who
did not like to run her sewing machine
with q treadle, so she removed the Or
binary pitman and substituted a larger
one which she ran through a metal
loop screwed fast under the edge of the
machine stand nearly in a plane with
the wheel. The end of this long pit
man had a shepherds crook to make it
fit the hand. A sort of pumping motion
on this pitman runs the machine.
Ada l.. Winn was an Arkansas lady
who wished for a better way to fasten
buttons to a garment than the use of a
needle and thread. She, therefore, took
a slender wire staple and passed it down
through the holes in the button, on
through the eye of the button, lift we're
of that sort, then passed the staple
through the fabric, then through holes
in the middle of a small metal plate
provided for the purpose, bent the sta
pie sharply at right angles, and then
! passed the points of the staple up
through holes in the edges of the metal
plate both to secure them and to protect
the wearer of the fabric.
Mary j. Watson was a California lady
who had been bothered as a great many
ladies have been elsewhere, by the
difficulty Of telling when she had reach
ed her destination when rid
ing on a street car. Car o
ductors are sometimes forgetful, rude
n wen insolent. So she devised a
street indicator to do away with the
necessity for speaking to the conductor
at all. 1t consists of an open case and a
series Of cards a little more than half
as long as the case. The cards are
pivoted near one end to a wire rod that
u I'M across the center of the case. At
one end OF the route the cards are all
turned to one end OF the case. Leaving
it and on passing the first street the
conductor throws over the rear card in
the case. The name of the next street
appears plainly printed across the top
OF the card. At the next street another
card is turned over and 1t shows the
name OF the next street, and so on. Re-
turning up the u the cards are
turned back again one at a time, and
show the name of the street in proper
order as before.

PIN who was at that time editing the
old Citizen. Mr.. Roosevelt was one of
Halpin's most intimate friends, and u
large stakeholder in his paper. When
Halpin died Mr.. Roosevelt edited and
published his poems. 1t was through
his connection with the Citizen that
Mr.. Roosevelt first met Mrs. Fortescue.
Mr.. Roosevelt's mother was a Bran

the O'Sheas. 1t was, therefore, only
natural that the cousins should see
more or less OF each other, and it is not
surprising that a friendship began I'M

To Keen Milk Sweet.

Pittsburg Commercial: Instead of
boiling milk it is better to put it in
glass jars-self-sealing fruit iars--set
these in q wash boiler or fat bottom
vessel containing water of a depth
equal to two-thirds of the height of
the jar. The jar must be left open.
After the water in the vessel has boiled
for at least one hour the jars may be
taken out and closed. After cooling
slowly they should be set away in a
cool place.
Milk thus treated will keep in a cool
cupboard for two or three days during
such weather as the present, and for a
week in winter time. Heating in a
water bath does not separate the case
inc, rendering the milk ropy, or
scummy, as boiling does; nor does it
impair its nutritive qualities in the
least.

Won

Women Inventors.
One Of the whims of fair women, says
the New York Suns Washington corre-
spondent, is to make inventions and
get them patented; but if me may Judge
by the records of the patent office, she
is not influenced by the within very
often. During twenty-five weeks OF this
year SIPS patents were issued by the
United States patent Office, but of this
number only fifty-three were issued to
women. The task of improving the
machinery, the household utensils, the
wearing apparel of people, even the
corsets and carriers of the ladies is
generally left to masculine inventors,
while working women, who might as
well become inventors as not, continue
to depend on hard toll and pinching
thrift for a living. Women are as quick
as men to detect defects in tools they
use and the manufactured articles with
which they are acquainted; but the
woman worries along with what she
finds at hand, while the man first con-
siders how the article may be improved,
and having discovered the way patents
the discovery.
That ome can invent and patent
their inventions Is shown by a review
OF the patents issued to them. That
three women should have patented
three kinds OF c~orsets, and four more
should have patented four new kinds of
bust(es, and that one should have hit
upon q combined corset and hustle,
is not very astonishing. The wonder is,
rather, that men should have, during
the same period, devised five or six
times as many new kinds of each article.
it is not even unexpected when one
finds that one oma has patented a
new and useful plumbers trap to pre-
vent sewer gas from escaping into a
| house from a wash bowl. But when it
is found, as the fact is, that one woman
has patented q successful hay press,
and another a machine for making bar
rels, the right for which has been pur-
chased by a great matchmaking cor
poration, it becomes apparent that
woman's intellect can grasp intricate
mechanical movements and combine
them for the benefit of the race.
1t is easy to guess how the majority
Of inventions by women came TO be
made. Something better thau was to
be had for the purpose was wanted, and
the only way to get the better thing
was to invent and make it, A descrlp-
ton Of a few of the inventions as taken
from the patent office records will illus
trate this. There is Nettie Illoway's
paint brush cleaning cup. What house
keeper has not been troubled with paint
brushes? Plenty Of houseleepers do q
deal of their own painting, and when
the one brush which the h~ousekeeper
: owns has to be changed from n sort
