They are ProhIbitIonIsts.

PIERRE, S. D., January 16.-A bomb was
exploded in the resubmission camp by the
discovery that a number of druggists here
are quietly working among the members for
a continuance of the present prohibitory
law.
1t had been generally supposed that they
would sympathize with other liquor sellers,
and the latter are highly indignant.
Under the prohibito law the druggists
are permitted TO sell any sort of liquors, wine
or beer by the glass, provided the purchaser
signs an affidavit that he is afflicted with
some complaint. Stomach trouble is the
usual disease to be remedied, and according
to the books of affidavits filed by the many
druggists, this illness prevails to tremen-
dous extent and requires treatment many
times per day.
So long as these affidavits are signed, there
is absolutely no restraint upon the sales, and
proprietors of drug stores have multiplied
enormously during three years of prohibi-
ton. and have done thriving trade.

Curious Stones,

One Of the most curious stones in
the world is found In Finland, where
1t occurs In many places. It is a ma
.tural barometer, and actually fore
tells probable changes In the weather.
1t is called semakuir, and turns black
shortly before an approaching rain,
while In fine weather 1t is notified
with spots Of white. For a long time
this curious phenomenon was q mys-
terry, but an analysis Of the stone
shows it to be fossil mixed with clay
and containing portion of rock salt
and niter. This fact being known,
the explanation was easy. The salt,
absorbing the moisture, turned black
When the conditions were favorable
for rain, while the dryness of the at
1nosphere brought out the salt from
the interior of the stone In white
spots on the surface.
