OWNERSHIP OF PRESCRIPTIONS.

A question of law has just been settled in
England. That is the legal ownership of
physicians prescription. In the English
case the doctor claimed that he was himself
the owner Of his prescription, and that he
could require his patient to return it to him
after it had been filled. He held that the
combination of drugs which he prescribed
was his property, his invention, and that the
written prescription was mere memoran-
DUN to be temporarily used by the patient
in order to prevent any mistakes caused by
defective memory. The court ruled that
his position was not sound, and that the
prescription, being the outward and visible
sign of the treatment for which the pa
tient paid, was his property.
In this country We have never heard of a
case where doctor wanted prescription
back. But il constantly happens that
druggist who fills the prescription paSts the
paper in book and refuses to return it to
his customer. That is going too far. The
druggist acquires no property in the pre-
seription by mixing the drugs it prescribes.
His rights are at an end when he has been
paid for his drugs. The prescription re-
mains the property of the party who ten
ders it to the druggist, and can no more be
retained by the latter than any other prop
erty belonging to the customer. Where the
druggist, under the State law, which requires
him to keep a record of his business,
chooses to file away the prescription he fills
he should at all events supply his customer
with an authentic copy verified by his own
signature.
1t often happens that sick per son COM
ing from neighboring State is relieved by a
prescription obtained from a city doctor.
The invalid naturally desires to take that
prescription away for future use in case of
a return of the maady. He should be en-
abled to do so, either by retaining the pre-
serption itself or by being furnished with
an exact copy Of it by the druggist.

ITALIAN FINANCE.

Some years ago there was an appearance
OF prosperity in Italy. The Government
had entered upon a policy of public i'm
prOYements which promised to afford reve-
nue. when completed Railroads and otner
public works were undertaken by the Gov
eminent which private capital would not
embark in. But none of these works have
as yet become revenue-producing The an
nual interest on railroad bonds alone is
S27, 100000 Not one of the railroad syS-
tens pays the current rate of 4 per cent
year Some of them DO not meet operating
expenses. Another source of expense is the
Triple Alliance. BY the terms of this
agreement a certain military and naval
force must be maintained. Last year Italy
spent more than Sol, OO0,0 600 on its army and
more than S25, 100000 on its navy. This is
not only a fearful drain of money, but OF
men. The Italian aristocracy are merely
ornamental, and a large percentage of its
useful population is absorbed in the army
and navy. There does not seem much
chance of improvement in the future as the
deficit in the budget increases from year to

THE BOHEMIAN CLUB.
An Evening Devoted to Enjoying One
Their "House Jinks."

An Evening Devoted to Enjoying One ef
Their House Jinks."
The members of the Bohemian Club as
sembled in full force last evening to enjoy
one Of their House Jinks," with William
Center as Sire. AS a preliminary to the
feast of reason and music they sat down to a
capital dinner, which caused veteran gOur-
mands TO liuger long at the table and to
tantalize the tardY corners with enc0miums
of certain choice dishes that they missed.
While the high-liVers were thus plying
trenchant knives and forks and spinning
yarns galore, another set were gathered in
the TeceptiOn-roOm listening to sweet music
performed by a select orchestra, led by FL.
j. Stewart, OXon.
The whole affair was free and easy in re-
gard to costume, for full dress was con-
spicIous by its rarity. Nearly every one
was clad in his everyday working suit, and
seemed to consider the few who appeared in
evening dress as going to a deal of trOubls
for so simple an affair. This may easily be
accounted for, as the greater number Of
those seen in the rooms were men of middle
age and those on the SHADY side of 90.
They were there for quiet night, and thef
got it,
OF course, al an early hour when the in
sidious punch had time to mellow theiT
tongues and when the slow jinks" began,
the rooms were probably fully up to tbs
standard Of hilarity that was established
years ago by the genial Bromley and his
boon companions.

A DISTURBING ELEMENT.

When the agreement was reached by
which Brazil consented to admit certain va
rieties Of goods from the United States at Is
per cent lower rates OF duty than were i'm
posed On similar goods from other countries
it was asserted with great positiveness that
British influence would deter the Brazilian
Congress from conserving to the arrange
ment. Great Britain is more interested in
Brazilian trade than any other European
country, ana as her hold on The American
market was reduced to narrower limits by
the new American tariff it was supposed
that desperate effort would be made to
hold the Brazilian market. II appears, how
ever, that the idea of preventing the Bra
lillian Congress from Tatifying the agree
ment with the United States has been aban-
dOned. The purpose now is TO offer Brazil
some inducement to enter into an arrange
ment which will in a measure nedtralize the
advantage the American Government has
acquired. British manufacturers are petit
tioning the Ministry to dc something. Such
Liberals as Lord Harrington and Mr.
Chamberlain, who are practically in coalition
with the Salisbury Ministry, are among the
petitioners. British exports TO Brazil
amount to upward of S31, 100000 a year
The principal items are cotton goods and
manufactures Of iron and steel. of rubber,
wool and leather. With the advantage
American products will possess under the
new agreement it is feared that few years
will transfer this trade from England to the
United States. The trouble with the En-
glish Government is that it has little or
nothing to offer Brazil as an equivalent for
reduced duties. Coffee, cocoa and tobacco
are about the only articles Brazil exports
that are not now on the English free list
England might remit the duty on coffee, but
rs imports last year were only about 25,000.-
BOO pounds, while the United States took
10000, 600 pounds. OF cocoa only 100000
pounds are imported from Brazil and but
little Brazilian tobacco finds its way to Er-
gland. The free-trade policy Of England has

will be greater when the new educational
law prepares larger number of scholars
throughout tie departments for higher edu-
cation. It counts on its staff the first men
in every branch of knowledge. Not only is
every conceivable branch taught there, but
it is taught by the man who above all others
is best fitted to teach it. The consequence
is that the highest education is more CON-
pletely impaired there than perhaps any
where else in the world.
If the S5,0O0OOO which the promoters
of the American University now ask for
were distributed among existing colleges,
and friends OF education instead of found
ing new institutions were to best0w their
munidcence on Institutions which are now
doing their duty with scsnty means, perhaps
the cause Of education would be gamer.

commission determined upon a route that was
considered feasible. Congress made an appro-
priation of $4,000 extending over two years,
and so far Chile is the only country contributing
to the expense OF the enterprise. Mexico. Uru-
quay and the Argentine Republic have declined
TO contribute. The other countries interested
have, it Is understood, agreed 10 pay their quota.
The Commissioners decided to send three sur
veylng parties into the field, the first thing to
determine being fhe possibility OF Constructing a
line through Central America and the isthmus,
and whether II could be c0npnued through Co.

one, the most Of the sales being residence or
outside lots. While the market is quiet, it
has never been lin a healthier condition.
Prices are frm-in fact, too firm for active
trading. The dizziness of the market is
owing more to a lack of sellers than any
lack of buyers. 1t was never so hard to ind
investments for large amounts as at present,
which proves that holders are well satisfied
with the outlook for inside property. There
are no auctions of city property announced

ropean, half Asiat1c, borrowed from ST.
Petersburg. There were a few imperial
mantles taken from the old Rome of the
Caesars. But, on the other hand, there was
very little visible of that ancient court of
France where the art of good taste yelled
the gorgeousness of personal adornment
What this kind of luxury displayed was
an utter lack of propriety, and in France
whenever les convenances are lacking rid
lcule is not far off.
This Bonaparte family, coming from
lonely isle which was barely French, and
where it lived in mean circumstances,
having for its chief man of genius whose
elevation was due to military laurels won
at the head of republican armies, which
armies were themselves the outcome of
democracy in state of ferment-should
not this family have discarded the old lux
ury ard adopted new method even in re-
lation TO the lighter side of life? Would
not noble simplicity have made it more
imposing and inspired confidencein its pow
er and its durability? Instead of this, the
Bonapartes so far deluded themselves as to
believe that a childish imitation of the
kings whose thrones they had taken was
one way of succeeding them
