a Druggists Sign,

The dried alligator not unfrequently
seen i'll drug stores comes down to us from
the "chynist" OF early times, and had its
origin in the belief that dragons blood was
n remedy for many diseases. According to
the legend, the dragon was accustomed to
eat his own tail, and then death followed
the operation. The poison that he was
believed to secretc was supposed to be
highly medicinal. AS it was impossible to
obtain the body of n dragon to suspend as
a sign in front of the "chymist's" shop an
alligator or crocodile was substituted, and,
with the conservatism characteristic of
some trades, the druggists have kept on
employing the sign, though they have for
gotten its origin, and long since ceased to
believe in the virtue OF dragons blood

Fathers and Their Children.

So much has been said about the frivolty,
incompetence or fussincss of American
mothers that it will not he amiss to inquire
into the characteristics of our fathers of
families. With the best intentions in the
world the time that city man can spend
with his family is usually very limited,
and he is not always in the mood to exert
helpful influence when he returns at
night worn out with business cares, and
often prefers the club. lodge or neigh boring
corner to his family circlc-his wife may
see little of him and his children less.
1t is not n matter OF Indifference, how
ever, even in regard to health, whether the
children enjoy due proportion of their
fathers companionship, for that is or
should be Il vital factor in the childrens
growth and education, and whenever they
are deprived of it certain elements OF char
acter and mind are almost always absent.
Look around among your friends where
the children have grown up without IL fa-
Their and see if your observation does not
show that there is some quality of mind or
heart. some check or balance wanting, that
no one Use could surply.-IIcnry l.. Taylor
