HIGH-PRIcED DRUGS.
Preparations Which Are as Costly
 Precious Stones.

Preparations Which Are as Costly as
 Precious Stones.
 We would, perhaps, wonder less at the fancy charges made by physicians and surgeons who have rare and ex- ceptional 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" the St. Louis Republic has prepared the following list of scarce and expensive drugs:
 Three-pound bottle of alkaloid of aconitine, S4s5.6o; quarter-ounce vial of chelidonine alzaloid, a new drug used in skin diseases, scrofula and dropsy, $sS; cocaine, about $120 per pound. A fve-ounce bottle of true cotoin" will cost about $350, or about $7O an ounce. Crystals of elaterin, a poison used in cases of hydrophobia and lockjaw, pre- pared from a plant called South Ameri- can Indian arrow, is worth about $145 per ounce.
 Among other costly drugs we might mention the following and the differ ent size bottles and vials in which they are sold: Agaricin, Az ounces, $4S.75; colocynthin, 5H ounces, $114.75; con- line hydrochlorate, A ounces, $9s. .45; cyclamin, 314 ounces, S54.o4; digitoxin, 116 ounces, ss7.4O; gentisin, 1x ounces, S91.15; heliotropin, 6 ounces, $61.25; dydrastine hydrochlorate, 6h ounces, S194. 80; papayotin, used as Q solvent for the diphtheric membrane, 13 ounce bot tie, per bottle, S1s9.5o.
 Besides the above there are various preparations made from the Calabar bean, the cost of which is amazing. They are chiefly used in diseases of the eye. One is called physostigmine alkaloid, and costs S137.50 per ounce vial. Physostigmine crystals are still more expensive, being sold in two and one-half ounce bottles at a cost of $50S.15. Still another preparation of the Calabar is physostigmine calicy- late crystals, an aristocratic drug that surely furnishes fitting capsheaf for this pyramid of costly stuffs, which is furnished to the consumer who is able to pay at the reasonable charge of $1,- SIG, ,020 for two ounce vial

CHAPTER XII. THE WRONG ROAD.

This experience taught Russell eau. tion, but 1t can hardly be said to have been of any higher sort than the caution of cowardice. He simply ran away. His visits to the Rays became more and more infrequent. He gave up the So- ciety for Culture, and bribed Cupid to seek oblivion.
 His manner of Twin z became different, and not better. He plunged into ex' travagance, and though dissipation and kindred vices had no attractions for him, and he thus managed to escape them, he succeeded in spending great deal of money, and was soon heavily in debt
 The Manhattan Electro Motor Com pany had begun active operations. A factory had been secured and machines were being made. The capital stock had been increased, and Ray was put ting in his money in way which showed that he meant to wage serious com mercial warfare.> Russell drew a good salary as treasurer and manager of the company, and to his credit it must be said that he worked hard and exercised good ability; but as treasurer and man ager of his own affairs he was not sue cess. He had become careless, and took no account of personal expenditures. Work was harder for him than it had been in the old days. His brief time oi leisure had made effort difficult. It was not easy for him to understand why this was true. Looking back upon the ex | perience of idleness he could see noth ing pleasant in it, and yet he chung tc it. An exercise of will was now neces sary to accomplish tasks far easier than the old drudgery which he had per formed mechanically. But Ray was we'll satisfied with his efforts, and talked very hopefully of the future of the | company.
 "We are going to use these motors or street railways" said he, and I'm re volving one or two points in my mind which must be carefully considered | Eventually we shall organize a railway company, and the question Is whether to do 1t here in New York or strike some smaller place."
 "The streets seem full of tracks here, | said Russell.
 'It isn't tracks," said Ray. s'it's fran | chiass we want to look out for. Witl Inc hoIp of leeislation we can steal . m

anese portiere on the right. Both caught sight of the little group on the hearth rug at the same instant. Ray said "Jingo" and slammed the door be. hind him. There was smothered "oh my!" from Mrs. Ray as her ample form parted the portiere with a rattle.
 What's the matter with them?' asked Alice, laughing. "Are they crazy?'
 "No," said Russell, rising slowly "but they think that am. Perhaps they are right, but my madness shall, bt harmless, even if 1t can not now bt sured."

A YELLOW FEVER VICTIM
He Escaped the Bullets, But the scourRe
 Overlook Him.

He Escaped the Bullets, But the scourxe Overlook Him.
 In the year of the last yellow fever epidemic in the South, says the New York Tribune, one of the first men to catch the disease at summer resort on the gulf was tall, rather heavily built man, whose eye was dark and keen, and who wore a very fine gray imperial. He was a strikingly handsome man, with his military carriage and his strong face. But his manner was grave and chilling and he made few acquaint- ances. Staying at the big hotel was 8 man who, in earlier life, had lived in the had married Southern widow, who owned sugar plantation on the Mis- sissippi river. He knew Major Wells, the Major died told the following story to a group of men who sat on one of the hotel verandas:
 "When I first saw Wells he was a Deputy United States Marshal in Ne vada- He was so cool and daring that he seemed absolutely indifferent to death. He would calmly walk into 8 bar-room filled with reckless gamblers
 
 man, scarcely saying a word, and march him out the door without placing his hand on n weapon, or holding himself in readiness for an attack.
 Coming down the street one day heard rapid firing, and looking up saw Wells standing behind the stump of a tree (the stumps still stood in the streets where the trees had been felled) and fIroo 1N11 zS1,rr o% Ua11 1e was as rigid as 8 statue, his face little white, but unmoved. He was a sure shot with a revolver, and I expected to see him draw his six-shooter and drop his men in one, two, three order, but he did not stir. For moment the bullets rained around there, and then the sound of the shooting suddenly ceased. The three men had emptied their revolvers. At that instant, quick as a flash, and with tiger bound, Wells leaped before the three men, and, whipping out his revolver, with a swift stroke of his arm, covered them. They all stood stock still The whole thing took less time than it does to draw a long breath. Then he grimly walked the three of them off and he saw them securely locked up.
 q met him few hours later leaning carelessly over a bar, as easy and un- concerned as if he had never heard the crack of a six-shooter.
 "'Good heavens, Wells,' said to him, why did you let those fellows blaze away at you without returning a shot? The chances were fifty to one against you
 '"There was quiet smile on his lips when he answered that words can not describe, and in his eye was the twinkle of man who loved good joke:
 ""There was just one ball in the chamber of my revolver, he said, and I thought might need 1t later.'
 "And there is a man," said the speaker, after slight pause, ''who de- fled the bullets of desperadoes for years, and who went down like a child before the fever"

fluctuations of Chicago Gas-Sugar Takes a
Sharp Decline - Railroad Bonds Very
Dull-Rumors Cause Slight FURRY in
the General Lists.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE stock market to-
day lacked the stimulus of heavy rise in
Chicago Gas, and that stock was much less
active than during the last two days, the
market therefore, in the absence of any in
crease in activity in railroad stocks, being
most intensely dull throughout the entire
session. The dealings were almost entirely
of q professional character, and the usual
small and uninteresting fluctuations marked
the trading in all parts of the list. The gen.
eral situation continues to improve.
The elimination of the advance in Chicago
Gas was followed by partial reaction in
that stock and sharp decline in Sugar, but
the influence of various rumors upon the
general list was hardly perceptible, though
prices yielded somewhat. The professional
nature of the dealings was very apparent
in the dullness and the smallness of the
small advance in Chicago Gas was followed
by a slight improvement in the general list,
but the reaction noted was followed also by
the rest of the market and heavy tone was
impaired to the dealings, which lasted dur
ing most of the day after that time.
In fact the late trading developed a de-
cidedly weak tone, and the Western stocks
in particular suffered severely. The volume
Ol UuSu0sS was dlsO SOly lhClcdSco ny Iuc
sale of long stocks. The general list was
totally devoid of feature throughout the
day, and all interest in the dealings was cen
tered in few of the leading stocks. The
market closed dull, but weak, at the lowest
prices of the day, which, however, in most
Stocks were only slight fractions below those
of last evening, while Sugar is down ~ and
Rock Island, St. Paul and Missouri Pacific
each l per cent.
Railroad bonds were not so active nor
SO interesting to-day. A smaller number of
issues were traded in, the sales of all issues
reaching only $3l5, 900, which failed to de-
velop a single feature. The tone was fairly
steady till the last hour, but the weakness
then shown caused no material change in
quotations. The Atchison, Kansas and
Texas and some other issues were weak, but
others presented a firm front throughout.
No signs of revival of interest in this de-
partment were shown, and the business done
was entirely of a retail character.

All Cereals Score Good Advances, Part OF

Close Higher Than Yesterday.
CHICAGO, June 17.-Wheat displayed good
deal of strength at the start and ruled nc
over yesterdays close. The news generally
favored the bulls. The weather indications
showed continued rain in the winter wheat
BELTS and fears of wet harvest made
shorts nervous and good buyers. Cables
were fairly steady and outside markets
opened strong. Ssddstred's reported a de-
crease in the available supply east of tho
Rockies of ], 600 900 bushels, and 1000 bush
els decrease on the Pacific coast. The Sec
retary of the Kansas State Board of Agricul-
ture was quoted as saying that his estimate
of the crop of that State had enormously
been given at 5SooO.0OO bushels instead of 45,-
100000 bushels.
July opened at CSC against 95szc at the close
yesterday, and sold up to 95Ic; but at this
point New York parties began to sell heavily.
Clearing weather was reported in the South
west, when the selling became general and
prices quickly weakened, July falling off to
$3.50. 1t f1uctuated within a narrow range
during the remainder of the session and
closed at 94s4c, the same price as yesterday.
Corn was strong and at times buoyant, July
selling up DC from yesterdays close; subse-
Quently lost about 1c of the decline, but re-
covered part of it. The receipts fell over 40
cars DelOW bne eStllnaUe. Inc weather was
cold, tending to retard the growth of the
plant. Cash corn went to premium of 413c,
shorts covered freely, outside buying orders
were generous and the selling crowd seemed
to be pretty well bailed out July opened at
56@56Ssc, sold at once to 5614@565sc, broke to
5614 4@55ssc and advanced to 57ssc. The mar
ket was helped a good deal after 1t passed
the call price by purchases made against
calls sold, but the demand gradually slack
ened, the offeriugs increased and the
weather becoming warmer the market lost
some of its strength and July fell to 5613c.
There was another rally to 571sc, and the
close was at $3.50.
Oats were disposed to follow corn, and
trade was more active and prices higher,
though all the advance was not maintained.
Provisions were only moderately active,
but developed some strength early in SYM
pathy with the firm feeling in the grain pits,
and some advance in hogs at the stockyards.
Later, on good selling and the subsequent
weakness in grain prices, eased off some and
at the close pork stood at the same figure as
yesterday. Lard lost 21a@5c, and ribs were
to PIC lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
