word about prescriptions :-Everyone knows there are several grades of drugs and that cheap drugs are adulterated, making them almost worthless. Again medicines made from cheap drugs are very inactive and the patient using them wonders why he doesn't get well. Pre- scrtpttons should be compounded from nothing but the ptrest drugs ohtainable and from med icines that are up to the standard in strength. We make 1t point to buy our drugs from relia- ble houses, thus giving our customers the assur- ance that they can depend on medicines bought at

Norwich Bulletin: Peaches in Mary land are so plenty that they are selling at fifteen cents a bushel-and transportation so high that they can't be sold in New England for much less than that 8 quart, If you get good ones. It would seem from these two facts that Providence is 8 good deal kinder to us than we are to Ourselves. The peaches that Providence furnishes are cheap enough, but the rail- roads we furnish come high.

He grew up in Albany, and many of his pelatives lie buried in the cemetery there. The story goes that when his son died he made application for a lot in the Albany cemetery, and be- cause he was wealthy man they charged him an outrageously high price for it. He and then decided to found his university in California.

The permanency of Salton Lake formed by the overflow of the Colorado river is becoming apparent as time passes without signs of subsistence of the waters. The predicted results from the presence of this enormous body of water in what was before desert are also becoming appar- ent. Rains have been falling in abund- ance where formerly they were almost entirely unknown, especially at this sea- son of the year. Such results support the theory that many of the arid regions in our extreme western and southwestern states may be made productive by letting in the waters of rivers or the ocean, which would be possible and practicable in number of these localities. Already the region about the new Salton Lake is showing unmistakable signs of ability to produce vegetation. .. ....-.> s,..--

Here we have been trying our level best for unnumbered years to get rid of that "pesky' garden marauder the striped cu- cumber beetle, and now comes along 8 little brown mite, to which the scientists give the portenteus name, wropoda Amer icana, and proceeds to extirpate the pest with neatness and dispatch. At least that is what 1t has been doing at Columbus, O., and the state entomologist, noting the little creature's work, suggests that every owner of a .sgarden of cucumbers" should apply for specimens, which he will gladly furnish, and try their abilities elsewhere. They seem to have nearly exterminated the beetle in the experimental station gardens at Columbus, and appear also to have a 'scruel taste'' for the potato bug.

Springfield Republican: They arewon- dering out west if Gen. Dryenfurth can send up another balloon and turn of the rain, after he has got it going, when the farmers have had enough. This is 8 fair enough question, for it would make these experiments unpopular to overdo them and turn another prairie or desert into a lake. Gen. Dryenfurths must attend to this matter, for he does not want to be caught as badly as the inventor of & fly ing machine who discover ed when in mid air that he had forgotten to provide any way of getting back to earth.

 School district tax collector Spelman is now ready to receive taxes. These are already past due. He is instructed to use every effort to collect the full tax this year. There are in the district old time residents who have only poll tax, but have for years evaded or refused pay ment, and who are well able to pay. It Is an injustice to those who pay to have this continued. A man may plead pover- ty one year, and be entitled to considera- ton if the plea is we'll based, but when the same man seems prosperous, but con- tinues his plea for successive years, it becomes threadbare. As for those who simply refuse to pay, the law is intended to h sufficient to meet such cases, and probably is.
