Low Toned Business.

There are certain high toned ply
sicians here in town who play it low
down" on their patients. They affect
an undecipherable handwriting and
inform their patients that the prescrip-
tons should be taken to certain drug
gists. If the patient thinks he can do
better in the matter of rates at another
drug store he presents the prescription
there and is reluctantly informed by
the clerk, after protracted session
behind the prescription counter, that
he cannot read the writing. Then the
patient is necessarily obliged to take
the prescription to the drug store de-
signated by the physician, where it is
put up without any ado and where a
good, round price is charged for it.
The patient pays this without MUIR
muir, for there wouldn't be a cent in
murmuring. Now, why does this
high toned physician do this2 Simply
because he has an arrangement with
this particular druggist whereby he
gets a rake off on every prescription
compounded. He has a cipher ar
ranged with the druggist and no one
else can read his prescriptions. These
are the physicians who object most
strongly to their professional brethren
who advertise. Chicago Herald.

Six Hundred Millions of Cash.

IF one of those giants about which we
heard so much in our younger days was
to develop modern Bill Sykes tendency
and select the treasury department as the
scene of his operations, he might make a
pretty good haul, provided the watch
men allowed him to get away.
Suppose all the money in the treasury
was piled up in one room. My giant
burglar would find at his hand 1924, OOO,-
900 in gold and silver, $250,G00,O00 in
bonds, and an additional 500, 900 in
new silver dollars, if he happened to time
his visit when the new silver vault in the
main courtyard is full, and a silver
stream of 100000 day is steadily flow
ing into that subterranean treasure house.
Here is nearly 5000, 100000. Just
think of it! More money than can be
found in any bank in Europe. The Bank
of England has only SOL, 100000; the
Bank of France, 1852, 100000; the I'm
perial Bank of Germany, $237, 200, 000.-

The Seeds of Berries.

A curious phenomenon, generally rare,
and attributed to physiological idiosyn-
Grassy, has this year been quite general.
Thousands of persons have been mildly
poisoned by eating strawberries. The act
Of eating fruit is a fine art not generally
understood. Most people sit down to a
repletion of the first fresh fruit that they
can secure. When strawberries come
they gorge themselves on that fruit for a
month or more. There is no fruit that
does not carry with it special danger If
over INDUCED in. The grape is probably
healthiest of all, if the seeds are discarded.
But berries hayc direct medicinal effect,
either laxative on astringent while the
seeds are irritants. The only conclusion
is that people should exercise common
sense about eating, that is if the common
sense be as plentiful as the fruit.--Globe-
Democrat.

The Annapolis Naval Cadets.

The plebs, or youngsters, as they
are also called, are at once quartered on
board large, old fashioned wooden
frigate, which always lies alongside the
dock, and does duty during the school
sessions as a gunnery ship. The vessel
becomes the residence of the plebs during
the summer months; here they have
their first experience of sailor life, an6
here, among other things, they first
acquire the art of sleeping in hammock.
1t is truly an edifying sight to see these
lads on their first night struggling with
their hammocks.
The hammocks used in the navy, you
bear in mind, are very unlike those in
which people swing under the trees in
the country. The navy hammocks are
made of heavy canvas, and are slung
from the beams of the ship. They are
usually hung quite high from the deck,
so that it is not easy for beginner to
climb into one with any degree of grace
even if he manages to get in at all.
Usually the novice struggles in from one
side and goes head over heels out at the
other-mattresses, pillows and bed clothes
all accompanying him. After two or
three unsuccessful attempts of this sort,
however, the greenest begins to improve,
and one or two weeks of practice is sufh-
cient to make any one an adept in the
art.-St. Nicholas.

LIVE STOCK IN GERMANY.

The German Methods of Handling
Cattle.
Hiram j. Dunlap, formerly editor of
the Champaign Qll.) Gazette, now
Consul to Breslau, Germany, in the
course of an interesting letter to his
paper has this to say of live stock in
that country:
l have already mentioned the fact
that all domestic animals here are
taught to lead. There being no fences
anywhere, it is therefore necessary to
have them very docile so that they can
be tied together and prevented from
running into the growing crops. When
cattle are taken to market they are tied
together by the head in files of three,
four, or more, and a man goes along to
lead each file. This would be rather ex-
pensive in the United States. l saw a
lot of cattle going through the streets
here few days ago. There were nine
teen steers in the drove and most of
them had hole in the left ear through
which cord was passed and tied
around the horns of the one alongside.
There were five leaders and one man on
horseback. Hogs, sheep, and goats all
lead, though generally they are mar
keted in wagons. The hogs are not so
''hog fat'' as American farmers like to
get them, and all that l have seen have
long shouts. coarse bristles, and are
white in color.
Last winter cargo of American cat
tie was landed in Hamburg, and many
A.
sired to fatten them. When the cattle
were delivered they were driven into
chutes and rope tied around their
horns. Then the gate was opened and
the purchaser and his steer became &C
quainted. There was never before such
excitement in Hamburg. Away would
go the steer, with two or three Dutch
men holding on to the rope, at 2:4O
gait, running over dog-carts, pedestri-
ans and every thing else that got in the
way. Many of the streets In Hamburg
are very narrow-too narrow to even
drive cart through; others wide enough
to permit one to pass at time. These
narrow streets were the scene of hair
breadth escapes, they being unusually
full of women and children. The men
holding to the rope were slung here and
there, and generally let go after the
first mile. The "Donnerwetters" that
fell in Hamburg that day exceeded
those of the English army in Flanders.
1t took two or three days to gather up
the lost cattle, and people have not got
over talking about it yet. Since then
they have learned that the American
steer is not used to being handled in
| that way.

Adventures of a Scientist.

Boussingault spent ten years in South
America, making use of every opportu-
nifty to study the grand phenomena in
which that region is SO rich, and reaped
as the fruit of his sojourn an abundant
harvest of observations in many depart
ments of science. His work included
numerous mineral analyses; the dis
covery of a new mineral, which he
named after one of his teachers, Gay
Lussite; analyses of the milk of the 'cow
tree" of palm wax, of guanos, and of
the thermal waters of Venezuela; and
the discovery in the province of Antio-
quia of a bed of platinum, metal which
had previously been known only as it
was disseminated in sands. He often
made his analyses of minerals on horse
back, with the aid Of portable balance;
he carried Fortin barometer slung over
his shoulder, with which he estimated
the height of mountains. His methods
of investigation were sometimes extraor-
dinarily ingenious.
In taking the temperature, for in
stance, in the crater of Parto, having
found his thermometer inadequate, he
let down some of the tin foil wrappNgs
of his chocolate cakes. The tin was
melted. The temperature was, therefore,
higher than the melting point of that
metal, or more than 235 dogs. G. He
then let down a pistol ball, which was
not melted. The temperature was thus
found to be lower than the melting point
of lead, or less than 1872 degs. c., and
was, therefore, somewhere between the
two extremes. The guide who accom-
panied him on this adventure could not
conceal his nervousness at hearing the
subterranean rQsrings of the volcano,
and, looking into the crater, asked,
s'What if it should burst out2' ssThen
we should be lost,'' replied Boussingault
The guide answered, Gained by the cool.

When Emme Sang Baby Mine"

l heard an amusing story about
Emme Rousseau the other day Emme
used to be an opera comique prima
donna; subsequently she welded Man
ager Colville, and now-fortunately
alike for her and for the public-she
wallows in wealth. Twelve or fifteen
years ago she travelled about with a
Babes in the Wood" show and sung
that maudlin song yclept Baby
Nine"
1t is supposed that some shrewd
friend must have warned Emme that
the newspapers were guying her song
of ''Baby Nine" for suddenly Emme
abandoned the song and substituted
one of more dignified character.
But when the company reached New
Orleans Emme was thrown into an
ecstasy of joy by letter from the
Pelican club requesting her to sing,
upon certain night, her famous
''Baby Mine"
Of course Emme consented, and the
matter was duly exploited in the local
press. On the appointed evening
Emme got herself up in gorgeous
fashion, and she fairly dubbed over
with delight when she saw that the
two front rows of seats in the parquet
were occupied by members of the Peli
can club. But, 10 and behold as soon
as Emme began her Baby Mine"
song every mothers son in those front
rows got up, turned around, kneeled
down and put his head under the seat
in which he had been sittingl
Well. Emme was just about as mad
a woman as ever breathed. She walked
off the stage as fast as she could and
never after that could she be induced
to attempt that song, although she was
wont to declare that the deliberate in
suit offered by the Pelican club was
the result of conspiracy Matched
among her envious and malicious pro-
fessional ssociates.-Eugene Field's

A hard and tough compound, known
as dampr, is used as bread by the people
of Australia. Judging from its consist
ency, one might guess, without being
told, that sbaIling day" does not come
very often on the sheep runs. The
author of ''Wild Life" thus describes the
making of dampr:
mike, the shepherd. brought out an
empty flour sack, carefully folded it in
two, laid it upon the ground, and spread
over it about five pounds of flour. Clear
ing space in the middle Of the heap,
sometimes in the way that builders mix
mortar, he filled it with water, and
worked the flour in for half an hour,
when the dough was so stiff that, patted
out into a cake three inches thick, it
might almost have kept its shape when
trundled along the ground
His helper had by this time made
fire large enough to roast sheep. Mike
pulled off the half burned brands, leav-
ing mass of glowing embers. Raking
these together he stirred them to drive off
all the dust, and then with long stick
worked them away from the center.
Into this clear space upon the bare, heated
ground. he skillfully dropped the great,
cheese shaped cake of dough, and left it
some minutes 'to get the outside used to
the heat as he said.
Finally the embers were scraped to-
gether and spread over the cake, and
this primitive outdoor oven was left to do
its work. Just before bed time the cake
was withdrawn from the now powdery
ashes, and the shepherd, tapping it with
his knife handle, remarked, Sounds
hollerl all rightI
Then he set it on its edge inside the
hut to cool-a well baked dampr."
