Expensive Drugs.

We would, perhaps, wonder less at the
fancy charges made by physicians and
surgeons who have rare and exceptional
cases in charge if we only knew the cost
of drugs they use in special diseases. For
the benefit of the army Of "The Curious
we have prepared the following list Of
scarce and expensive drugs:
Three pound bottle of alkaloid OF
aconitine, S4S5.50 quarter-ouuce phial
of chelidonine alkaloid, a new drug used
in skin diseases, scrofuIa and dropsy,
$SS; cocaine, about Sl20 per pound. a
iive-ounce bottle of "true cotoin" will
cost abor. $3.50, or about $40 per ouace..
Crystals Of elaterin, a poison, used in
cases of hydrophobia and lockjaw, pre-
pared from plant called South Ameri.
can Indian arrow, is worth about Sl45
per ounce.
Among other costly drugs we might
mention the following aud the differert
sized bottles and phials in which they are
sold: Agaricin, Az ounces, S43.75;
colocynthin, 81 ounces, $l14.75; coniinc
hydrochlorate, Al ounces, sos. As; cycla-
min, 81 ounces, S5lO5; digitoxin, II
ounces, SS7.4O; gentisin, II onnces,
s91.15; helitropin, 6 ounces, S61.25;
dydrastine hydro-chlorate, 81 ounces,
$l94.SO; papayotin, used as a solvent for
the diphtheritic membrane, thirteen
ounce bottles, per bottle SlS9.5O Be
sides the above, there are various prep
arations made from the Calabar bean,
the cost Of which are amazing. They
are chiefly used in diseases Of the eye.
One is called physostigmine alkaloid and
costs 1875 per ounce phial. Physos-
tigmine crystals are still more expensive,
being sold in y t-ounce bottles at cost
of $5O3.15 Still another preparation OF
the Calabar is physostigmine salicylate
CRYSTALS, an aristocratic drug that surely
furnishes a fitting cap-sheaf for this pyr-
amid Of costly stutfs, which is furnished
to the customer who is able to buy at
the reasonable charge of 81 $40, O2O for
a two-ounce phial?-S. Louis Republic.

A Mnrmnn TempIe on the Plains.

Near Nebraska City, Neb., and close
by the Missouri River, there stands an
old and massive building of stone, square
and plain in architecture; its surround
ings rough and bare aud altogether un
inviting. It is the old refuge, half fort,
half temple of the Mormcns. In 1878,
when the Mormons were driven out OF
Nauvoo by the angry mobs, their temple
burned and their prophet slain and they
took up their wearisome march across the
plains to found new city in Utah, they
camped where this building now stands
to rest on their march. They resolved
to erect a temple in honor OF Joseph
Smith on tne spot, a house of refuge for
other emigrants who might come that
way on their march TO the promised land.
The entire company labored upon store
quarry for a number Of days until enough
material had been secured for the temple,
and then the work was left in the hands
of several mechanics and a number OF
laborers. while the remainder continue
OF the journey along the trail westward.
1t was not until the next spring that tao
temple was finished. 1t was used as a
fort for their defense against several In
dian attacks. 1t also became the tomb
of many. Among a train Of emigrants
that crossed the river in 1S4S were an
old German couple, new converts to the
faith. They seemed to be friendless and
homeless. rhe march across the country
and the cold and exposure of winter was
too much tor the old pilgrims, already
worn ont with age, and when the half
completed temple was reached the old
man died. The death of her husband
shook the faith OF the old woman and
she would not continue her journey
westward. She remained for several
weeks with the workmen at the temple,
aud during the day made almost hourly
trips from the house on the bluffs to the
grave at the river aud back again. Her
wearied step and the heavy tap Of her
walking stick upon the stony path were
heard from morning till night. One
morning after the temple was about COM
pletcd, the old German woman was found
dead in her cot. 1t was a tradition Of
the Mormons that her spirit revisited the
scene nightly and that the tap Of her
walking stick could be heard along the
path to her husbands grave. The build
ing was soon abandoned by the Mormons,
and was finally occupied for brief time
by a settler, but he, too, was driven
away by the uneasy spirit OF the old wo-
man, who, it was said, visited the spot
to guard a treasure Of gold which she
and her husband had buried near the
temple. - Chicago Herald.

BRANFoRD, Sept. 2.-The question OF
who will succeed Henry D. Lindsey as
postmaster of this town is still the princi-

Although Mr.. Lindsley's term expired
July % no one has yet been named as a
successor. There are two men whose
names have been prominently named for
the position. Henry d. Nichols is one
and Walter Fowler the other. Fowler il
far the more popular of the two, and il
the people of the town were to decide on a
postmaster Mr.. Nichols would undoubted-
ly be beaten out of sight. The latter,
however, has the support of the Hon,
Wales Lines of Meriden, and many be
heve he will yet secure the berth. Every
other day some one is around town with 8
petition for Fowler or Nichols and the for
mer, it is said, has three signatures to one
for Nichols.
