LONDON DRUG SHOPS.

Corner Stores.

They Arc Not Attractive as Our Bright
Corner Stores.
There is a wide difference between
the London drug stores and ours There
is no such craze for patent medicines
there as here, and there is nothing like
the American inclination for every man
to be his own doctor. An English drug
gist sells face powder, cologne. soap,
ooth-brushes, patent pills and the like,
but his main business is putting up pre-
scriptions He has no clientele of men
who drop in for a little aromatic spirits
of ammonia after night of dissipation,
or for acid phosphate after too much
smoking, or for tincture of iron and so
many grains of quinine, or a glass of
Calisaya for tonic, or q teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda to Offset too hearty
meal. All that which so enriches our
druggists is unknown in England. The
Americans in London last summer
found this out to their cost. One of
them told me that he had this queer
experience. He asked druggist for a
draught of iron and quinine.
''Oh, we carn't give you that without
a prescription, you know" the man re.
piled.
The American persisted, but the drug.
gist was firm.
"Well, can't you give me an ounce of
tincture of iron?"
s. es. sir"
And two two-grain quininc pills?"
"Yes, SIR"
'Will you lend me tumbler with
little water in it?"
"Yes, SIR"
Having all these things. the Ameri-
can dropped dozen drops of iron in the
water, and took that and the pellets
down with agulp. The druggist looked
on with keen interest, and then said,
very gravely:
"Do you know, l call that very neat.

A Wnnderful Bedstcad.

An English lady resident in Syria re-
ports the following interesting dis
covery in the neighborhood of Beyrout.
In village about one hours ride from
the great French road between Beyrout
and Damascus was found bedstead
made of gold and silver and inlaid with
precious stones. An inscription upon it
in English characters states that it be-
longed to Eleanor, Queen Of England.
The bedstead was discovered in little
recess dug out for the purpose within a
natural cave, and must have been placed
there for security when Edward |. left
the East in 1879. The Turkish govern
ment have taken possession of the treas
ure trove, though the prevailing opin.
ion in the district seems to be that it
should remain the property of the man
on whose land it was found. 1t would be
interesting to know what the Turks
propose to do with it. But IL the in
scription calls Eleanor Queen of En-.
gland the words can not have been
placed upon it before Edward left Syria,
as he did not hear Of his fathers death
until he reached Italy. There can, how
ever, be little doubt that the bedstead
has been buried in the earth for the last
six centuries. London Daily News.

A SUMNER MEMORY.

A dusty roadway, downward Leading
Through pastures whore the cattle feeding
Wade deep in Gniscs white and yellow
That toss their Stars In sunlight mellow.
A maid, whose lips nro red rs cherries,
In tangled bushes picking berries,
From under her sun-bonnet glancing
Sets Cupds goblins madly dancing.
And while my footsteps slowly wander
TO lower sweeps, the hillsidc yonder
Seems with u Ar!giter glory burning,
And woos my eyes to constant turning.
A wind gust ir tho reedy hollow,
Where through tho swifts each other follow,
And to my ew.formed wish replying
A korchief In the distance flying.
pause beside the lingering river,
Where tall flags in the ripplcs sh.ver,
And hear blackbird's merry calling
Down from the upland pasture falling.
My pathway leads where silver beechcs
Simmer along the meadow reaches,
Yet, by some unseen magic holden,
My heart clings TO the hillside golden.
For there IN sunlight haze she fingers,
The kerchiof fiutters from her fingers,
And swift the upland way retracing,
Loves subtle vision am chasing.
Ah surely they are evilminded,
Who say that Fortunes eyes are blinded
For brighter glance or look more speaking
VIII never answer any seeking
And in the radiant August weather,
We two walk down the path together,
And give no heed to all the singing,
Along the upland pasture ringing

COLLEGE GRADUATES.
The Supply of Educated Men Not in Excess
of the Demand.

| of the Demand.
When one marks the long lists of re.
cent graduates from our principal col
| leges-lists in most cases twice as long
as they were thirty years ago-one won
ders at first sight where such a multi
tude of highly educated young men will
go. Where are they to find places suited
to their training and attainments? One
can imagine some of them asking de-
spondently with Tennyson:
| "What Is that which should turn TO, lighting
upon days like these!
Every door is barred with gold, and opens but
to golden lieysf
Yet, if we look closely at the matter.
we shall see reasons for believing that
the supply of educated men is not in
excess of the demand. In the first place,
We must remember that the population
of this country is twice as large as it
was in 1860, which means that the field
of opportunity has expanded in proper
ton to the number of graduates. In
the second place, marked change has
come over the postgraduate intentions
of college students, and consequently
over the nature of the studies compre-
hendcd in a university course.
At the beginning of this century, a
majority of the mon graduated from our
Eastern colleges entered the ministry.
Thirty years ago, by far the greater
number contemplated the practice of
the law or of medicine. Now a large
and steadily increasing frac ton of grad
yates apply themselves to the innumer-
able forms of business or Industrial
activity which have sprung into exist
ence under the joint stimulus of capital
and science.
This signal alteration in 'the objects
which graduates have in view has had
the effect OF broadening and reorganiz-
ing the university curriculum. Not
only is it no longer the sole function of
colleges to turn out clergymen, but it
has even ceased to be their exclusive
purpose TO qualify young men for the
learned professions generally They
now seek to impart such a training and
equipment as will fit the faithful stu
dent for any walk of life, in which n
disciplined and well-stored intellect
and the invaluable habit of concentra-
tion are the factors of success Such
being the aims and the methods OF con-
temporary colleges, we do not think the
annual number of their graduates is out
of proportion to the needs and oppor-
tun!ties of our fast-growipg country

Beauty ends where intellect begins.
Intellect is in itself an exaggeration,
and destroys the harmony of any face.
The ugly and the stupid have the best
of it in this world. They can sit quietly
and cape. They live as we all should
live, undisturbed, Indifferent and with
out disquiet.
The one charm of marriage is that il
makes life of deception necessary for
both parties.
Conscience and cowardice are really
the same things. Conscience is the
trade name of the firm. That's all.
Laughter is not bad beginning for a
friendship and is the best ending for
one.
The more insincere a man is, the more
purely intellectual his idea will be, for
it will not be colored by his wants, his
desires, or his prejudices.
Every impulse that we strangle broods
in the mind and poisons us. The body
sins once and has done with its sin, for
action is a mode of publication. Moth
ing remains then but the recollection of
a pleasure or the luxury of regret.
Nothing can cure the soul but the
senses, just as nothing can cure the
senses but the soul.
The only difference between caprice
and lifelong passion is that thecaprica
lasts little longer.
Sin is the only color element left in
modern life.
Young men want to be faithful and
are not: old men want TO be faithless
and can not.
Punctuality is the thief of time.
Nowadays people know the price o.
everything, and the value of nothing.
Men marry because they are tired,
women because they are curious. Both
are disappointed.
People who only love once in their
lives are really shallow people. WhaS
they call their loyalty and their fidelity
/ call either the lethargy of custom or
the lack of imagination.
Faithlessness is to the emotional lie
what consistency is TO the intellectual
life--simply confession of failure
Religion consoles some. Its mysteries
