appellants.
There are two appeals made by Messrs.
Donaldson, Of Minneapolis, who were fined
by the trial court, under the Pharmacy act,
for selling hypophossphite and borax. and a
pealed, que stioning the validity Of chapter
l47, General Laws of 1885, which provides
that it shall be unlawful for any person other
than registered pharmacist to RETAIL COM
pound or dispense drugs, medicines or pol
sons etc. The syllabus remarks "The pro-
vision permitting shopkeepers. (not pharma-
cists), whose places Of business are more than
one mile from drug store to sell the COM
monty used medicines and poisons, if put up
by registered pharmacist, but prohibiting
such sales within that distance, is not an
arbitrary discrimination. but reasonable, in
view of the necessities and convenience
OF those who reside at distance from a reg
ular drug store. The proviso in the 18th
section is construed as excepting generally
from the provisions of the act the sale Of
patent or proprietary medicines Tho act
held to apply only to articles whose primary
and principal uses are medicinal, and COM
monty understood as medicines, and as not
including (at least when not prepared and
sold for medicinal purposes) articles com
monty used in the arts or industrial pur-
suits or for domestic purposes, although
also frequently used in compOunding medi-
cines The sale of borax. not for medicinal
use. is not within the act"
The court, therefore, reverses the case In
which appellants are prosecuted for hypo-
phOsphite, and mOdifies the case in which
they are prosecuted for selling borax and
beef, wine and iron, which is practically
holding that they have right to sell borax
and hypophosphites ana patent medicines.

The Greeks had q curious puzzle.

the reptile 100 yards start and runs ten

theoretically, never as a matter Of fact

A very perplexiDg question, one well
calculated 10 catch the wise as well as the
uuwary, was that proposed to the Roman
Senate:
"Wby does q pail Of water with fish
swimming in it, weigh 70 more than the
same pail of water without the fsh?'
Tt called forth much discussion from the
members OF that august body, who ex-
planned the singular circumstance In dit
Ierent ways to their entire satisfaction,
but found, by experiment, that the pail
of water did weight more when there was
q live fish in IT,
A precisely similar story is related In
connection with the Royal Society Of Lon
don. I'm this case one of the Georges,
when Prince of Wales, proposed the Duz-

An excellent, if an old, puzzle Is:
How can a window, having height equal

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
II We Gould Destroy Their Germs They
Would Cease.


The French government has made a
grant of S25, 900 year TO defray the ex-
penses of the Pasteur institute, in Paris,
the cost of founding which-ssveral hun
dred thousand dollars:was contributed
by various governments and private in
dividuals. The purpose of this institute
is, as all know, the prosecution of expert
mental research with a view to the cure
of hydrophObia-in any country very
rare disease. Diphtheria, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, measles, yellow fever,
cholera and other preventable diseases,
on the other hand, count their victims by
thousands; yet there is in no country spe-
cisl establishmentinw which any one of them
can be scientifically studied, and better
means arrived at for their prevention or
their cure, and arrest from spreading. All
contagious diseases are preyentable. For
/ their develoment two things are required:
First, the special germ which produces
them; second, suitable bodily conditions
to allow it 10 flourish.
If We could destroy their germs, they
would cease. Bat to do this would ne
cessitate universal co operation on the part
of all individuals in the community, which
is practically impossible. The batter way
is 10 secure such bodily conditions as will
prevent their development. The success
that has attended vaccination fer small
pox, and is now attending vaccinations for
hydrophobia, points to the likelihood Of
achieving this hy some PROCESS of VAGINA
T tion diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet few
er, etc. Why will not some large minded
and philsntbropic person or persons endow
an institute or Institutes in this country,
as individuals and government have done
in France, for the purpose of studying
these more fatal and common diseases,
which kills their tens of thousands where
hydrophObis carries off single case? In
so good and eminently practical work
America should not lag behind.

Quartermaster is the hero of the farm, a
