successfully cashier Of a dry goods firm,
bank clerk and paying teller. In 1884
Mr.. Hamill became silent member of q
prominent pork packing firm. Just here
an anecdote illustrating the mans high
sense of honor may not be amiss.
During the month of June, 1854, Mr..
damill made verbal agreement with q
quartermaster Of the United States
army. giving the government an option
ON great quantity of pork. Gold sud-
denly jumped 100 per cent. The quar-
termaster called for the meat, and Mr..
Hamill unhesitatingly, but regretfully,
complied with his partof the verbal con-
tract, although by failing to do so he
would have realized further profit of
80, 900 on the pork, on account of the
sudden rise in gold.
Mr.. Hamiu has been connected since
that time with some of Chicago's largest
commission houses, and ''the world has
prospered him." He is bver both Of
art and music, and is considered good
judge Of fine etchings. He is the owner
Of q magnificent collection, which was
almost miraculously saved from destruc-
ton at the time of the big fire.. Mr..
Hamill has been connected with the
formation of several musical organiza-
tions, and it is principally as the result
Of his efforts that Theodore Thomas was
induced to make Chicago his home. He
it was who organized the grand musical
festival which the great conductor went
to Chicago IN 1882 to direct. Mr.. Ham
i'll is vice president Of bank and has
held scores Of offices of trust and honor,
but never one of profit. He has large

The Cost of Prescriptions.

At the dispensaries in New York
where poor patients are treated without
charge it is customary to ask, so that
the charities may not have pauperizing
tendency, if any payment can be made
on medicines dispensed. The statistics
show that go out of every 100 persons
pay the charge of ten cents for each pre-
sciption. This collection OF 60 per cent.
Of ten cents for each prescription pays
for all the drugs used, and also for the
clerks employed to compound and dis.
pense the medicines.

c. NJ. H., Burney Valley, Cal.
Simple mechanical separation from the
starch granules is how starch is obtained
from potatoes. These methods vary.
The tubers are washed, rasped by ma
chinery, the pulp received on a sieve and
washed by gentle stream Of water until
it runs clear. The milky LIQUID is
caught in watts, where the amyiaceous
matter subsidies; the stpernatant water
is drawn OFF and the deposit fire.
quently washed until the water no longer
colors. This millliness, or color. is due
TO the starch held in suspension. The
starch IS now suspended in water run
through sieve to keep back any grains
Of earth or sand. 1t is again settled and
then drained into baskets lined with
ticking. 1t is then put on floor of half
baked tiles and dried by a current of air
at normal heat, and later by artificial
