Notes That prugglsts Receive.

YOU'D laugh if you could see some
of the homemade prescriptions we re-
ceive here sometimes, said a Pomona
druggist the other day. I mean the
notes mothers give to little children
when they send them here for medi-
cine.
Here is one written on piece of
newspaper margin, 'arnicy A sor
fot, which, translated, means arnica
for sore foot. Another, on a piece
of cardboard, was easily ineligible,
powdered magnishey for phisik.
Poison. Gross of Sulperment for
bedbugs' called for corrosive subli-
mate to rid bed of the terror of the
tenements. 4 Poishon insect pow
der meant Persian insect powder.
'Bia carbert Of sody' meant the
simple baking soda, to be used in this
instance probably for a disordered
stomach. Tincture Of lobelia was
asked for on a torn scrap Of billhead
under the disguise of 'tinctur lob
ster, and capcine porous plaster was
supplied when 'capicine plaseter' was
requested.

A Mr.. Lyon recently addressed the
70 lowing letter to the Minneapolis
Il ribune:
Editor Tribune: Will you kindly
sgiye me, through your paper, five rea.
! sons why you are a Republican, and
greatly oblige W. FL. LYON.
The editor of the Tribune says
that while it would be easy to give a
hundred reasons for being Republi-
can instead of a Democrat or a Popu-
/ list, he offers the following for Mr.
Lyon to digest:
| We are Republicans, first because
the Republican party is the party OF
loyalty and honor, which saved the
nation and lifted up the flag when it
was trampled in the Clust by traitors.
Second, because it is the party Of
law and order.
Third, because it Isl the party ) OF
honest money.
Fourth, because it is the party OF
protection to American industry and
American labor
Fifth, because it is the party which
possesses the brains and sa gacity and
business ability and exp, erience tc
conduct the affairs of the country
wisely and prosperously. The Re
publican party administered the al
fairs Of the country continuous ly fol
thirty years, with the excerpts On o.
four, during which there was "a Re
publican senate to act as check up
on Democratic executive, and tdur
ing all that time the country iva;
prosperous. In 1892 the poop l.
elected an anti-RepubIican pres
dent, house and senate for the first
time since the war and since then
things have been constantly going
from bad to- worse. This country
never had such hard times as since
the Republicans were driven out of
power in all the branches of the gov
eminent and the people have made
up their minds that the only way to
restore prosperity is to put the Re
publicans. back into power again.
They will do this just as soon as they
get a chance to vote.

FISHING WITH A sUNKEN FLY.
The Only Way f.laek uass Can 10 Taken ]

The Only way f,lack Eass Can 10 Taken Ia
Ito Saginaw River.
"Yoa might not think it worthy Of
your skill rs q fly fisherman, said
one who is IN expert in the art him.
self, and ordinarily it wouldn't be,
as it seems a triae vulgar in style,
but if you ever come to fishing for
black boss i'll a certain kind of water
you will find that you must sink your
fly on go without any fish.
For instance, there isn't a better
black bass fishing water on the CONT
nent than Saginaw river, Michigan,
or any where the bass are bigger or
more gany. But the water is deep
and very much discolored by the bark
on the logs of the endless professions
Of pine RATS that go up and down
that stream. Whitefish in the Sagi-
nav river would be whitefsh only in
name, for they would take on the hue
Of the pine dyed water, just as trout
in tho hemlock bordered creeks of
Pennsylvania are SO dark in color
that, compared with their brothers
of the open wood streams, they are
like mulatto compared with a white
man.
There is only one way of fly fish
ing that black bass can be taken in
Saginaw river, and that is the seem
ingly unsportsmanlike way I am
speaking of. You must have large
and rather gaudy flies. Three inches
above the dropper put a No. 2 split
shot on your leader to sink your flies.
They must be sunk almost as deep in
the water as if you were fishing with
bait Trail them toward the surface
snartly, and when one of those big
bass strikes a fly, which will be so
often that you will be astonished, if
you don't say that you never had
sport before fly fishing for bass then
you are a dilettante sort of a fisher
man, and no mistake.
"a person who thinks he isn't do
ing right by himself if he fishes for
black bass any other way than with
the fiy ought to know that there is
fly fishing. I never knew Of but two
kinds before l tried the Michigan
method, and | have used this third
one, with great pleasure and profit in
many eastern waters where the con
ditions were similar to those in the
Saginaw and where no one had ever
succeeded in taking any bass to speak
of by the regulation methods. had
rather make nice catch by sinking
my flies, even at the expense of being
looked upon as a coarse fisherman,
than to daWdle them all day on the
surface and never get a rise. New

The necessity for the encourage
ment for the building, by American
workmen, of a fleet of ocean steam
ships capable of the highest speed
and contracted with special reference
to the demands of the navy in time of
war; led Congress in 1892 to enact
special laws upon the subject. Two
of these new vessels, the St. Louis
and the ST. Paul, are now nearing
completion and viii be the first trans
atlantic steamers built in this

THE CREATION.
A Bal 5lonisr Tradition of the Formation
of the World and Mankind.

Bal tTlOnian Tradition OF the FORMATION
of the World and 1Iani<ind.
From Bere us, a learned Baby 10
man. who wreto about the year 260
B. c., the following curious account
of erection taken: In the begin
ming all wae.xt .!>,i-ccss and water, and
therein werv generated monstrous
animals and -ne,. Of strange and pc
culiar form. Some of these latter
were menlike creatures with two
wings. and some even with four.
Some had one head and two faces;
others two hetMs with q single face
between. Sometimes single body
would have heads both of the male
and the female Besides tie above
there were men with headsand horns
like goats. men with hoofs like
horses, and some with the upper part
of man joined to the lower parts OF
a horse, like centaurs. Then there
were bulls with wings and human
heads, dogs with four bodies and with
fishes tails, men and horses with
dogs heads, creatures with heads
and bodies like horses, but with
claws like lions and tails Like fish.
Besides these there were other mon
sters showing anlixtare Of the forms
of various beasts.
Moreover, there we're monstrous
fish and reptiles and divers other
creatures which had borrowed some
thing from each others shapes, OF
all of which the likenesses are still
preserved in the Temple Of Bells. A
woman ruled all these monsters, and
her name was Omorxa, which is the
same as the Chaldee Thalatth and the
Greek Thalassa. Then Belus ape
peared. He split the woman in twain
and of che half OF her he made the
heavens and Of the other half the
earth, and the monsters which sko
had ruled he caused to perish. ADd
he split the darkness and divided tho
heavens from the earth and put ali
the,vorld in order. Bellls then com
manded one of the gods to cut off his
head and to mix the blood which
flowed forth with the earth and to
form man and beast therefTo1a, so
man was made ard was intelligent
and was a pa1taker Of wisdom. Like
wise Belus made tie stars, the sun,

a Grange EPaetare,

One Of the strangest fractures
known to the medical profession was
recently treated at the Pennsylvania
hospital, where a young man APP
Beared with his arm broken between
Tho shoulder and elbow. He said
that he had tried to throw stone
that was too heavy for him, and in
bringing his arm around the bone
snapped. It seems hardly possible
that the elbow and shoulder joints
should be firm enough to stand a
strain that would break the bone, and
Che doctors decided that there must
haze 5.eon some softening of the bone.
Such cases ha4e happened before,
but it has always been with growing
bows, whose bones are brittle enough
to break al any unusual strain. Phil,

BeIIeek Ware.

Belleek, the famous eggshell por-

land. Some years ago an enterpris-

idea Of making that ware in this

they in doing so because they found
precisely the materials best adapted
for this production. A workman
from the original factory began the
task and succeeded 50 well that it
was not long before almost the en-
