A Fortunate Druggist.

Mr.. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now
prosperous druggist on the corner Of Stockton
and Market streets in San Francisco, probably
never dreamed Of rivaling in wealth the medi-
cine kings of the country. But various rumors
having been floating around to the effect that
he has struck it big, an E1Gminer reporter was
detailed to unearth the cause, and after much
difficulty unraveled the following story:
1t seems that about seven years ago an English
physician. great student of botany, located in
this city. His practice was not extensive, and
yet the few cases that cameto him attracted no
little attention. His success seemed to be in
the treatment of liver and kidney disorders.

with these common complaints was marvellous.
He seemed almost infallible, and his quiet
modest methods and his well-kept secret was
as much a mystery rs himself. After his de
parture about year later Mr.. Joy determined
to fathom the secret, and copying all the pres
criptions he had filled for the erratic doctor
he began q systematic analysis. III his exam

prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles,

on in compelling the Rock Island &c
ANGEL the contracts it bad entered intc
TO transport a large number Of Knighti
Templars from points in Kansas and Mis-.
souri, to Washington on the occasion OF
the triennial conclave in October next
creates a good deal of unpleasant com.
ment in local Masonic circles. The de.
cision is based upon the fact that the
cars that the road intended TO use were
OF a special class, which are charged an
extra rate on other roads, and that the
contract was consequently an evasion OF
the rules of the association.

ID served His Fate.

FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn, June 2f.-A
negro woman died Thursday at Brighton,
q village ten milea east OF here. on the
railroad, principally inhabited by ne
groes. She was attended by q negro
doctor who gave her his own medicine,
and destroyed the prescriptions Of two
regular physicians that had been called
in. Since the woman's death the colored
doctor has been missing, and the opinion
mere prevails that lie has been lynched
by the negroes, as they are very much
excited and enraged over the matter.
The medicine given the woman by the
co,orod doctor was examined By the
the white physicians, but they failed 10
ascertain its component parts.

The Oldest bank notes are the Fly
ing money" or convenient money first
issued in China, 2697 B. G. Originally
these notes were issued by the treasury,
but experience dictated a change to the
hanks under government inspection and
control. A writer in a provincial paper
says that the early Chinese "greenbacks'
were in all essentials similar 10 the mod
ern bank notes, bearing the name Of the
bank, date of issue, the number of the
note, the signature of the official issuing
il, indications Of its value in figures, in
works, and in the pictorial representation
in coins or heaps Of coins equal in
amount to its face value, and a notice Of
the pains and penalties of counterfeiting.
Over and above all was a lactnic exhor-
tation of industry and thrift: Produce
all you can; spend with economy" The
notes were printed in blue ink on paper
made from the fiber Of the mulberry
tree. One issue in 1889 B. c., is still
carefully preserved in the Asia,ic mu-
scum at st. Petersburg.

Two different systems have mainly
been resorted to on the elevated railroads
in Germany for diminishing the noise OF
trains on their viaducts, and with far
success. One Of these consists in boltine
to the bridge structure long troughs OF
sheet iron about sixteen inches wide, 60
set or arranged that a rail will come in
the center Of each; the troughs are then
filled with gravel, in the middle OF which
is buried the longitudinal timber carry
ing the rail, and the space between the
troughs is covered with iron plates, on
which is spread a thin layer Of gravel.
The second method, which has been
adopted as possessing a greater degree of
efficiency than the other, consists in plac.
ing a continuous series Of shallow iron
troughs about five feet square along the
line of the troughs. These are filled with
gravel, on which the ties and rails are
