Iron In Pharmacy,

The pharmacopeia has long recon-
mended iron wire as material for iron
preparations. Musical Vire, being steel
and therefore purer, is also often ap.
piled and yields sufficiently pure prep
arations. More lately there have been
recommended for this purpose soft steel
drillings. as being cheaper. purer and
not so difficult to dissolve as wire, which
by the various processes Of forging, ham,
mering, rolling and final drawing be-
comes denser and harder.
The more impure an iron the quicker
it will dissolve, but the same piece of
iron or steel will more rapidly dissolve
the less it has undergone the mechanical
treatments in question. Thus, if the i'm
mense amount of mechanical labor be
considered to which an iron or steel bar
is subjected in reducing its diameter to
that of wire, it is argued that soft steel
drillings, shavings or turnings deserve
preference. In word. the turnings and
drillings of axles and steel boiler plate,
which can be obtained at any steel works
or machine shop. are ranked among the
purest brands of iron, in the chemical
sense of the word. According to ex.
perts, it may be considered a practical
rule that any brand of steel capable OF
making good axle or boiler plate will
also yield pure preparations ON dissolv,

FLESH EATING HARES.
A Skeptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munching Mutton.

A Skeptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munching Mutton.
Hare is a dish never seen on Spanish
table, because in Spain there is super
stition that hares in the night go into
ehurchyards and dig up the graves and
eat the dead bodies. A writer who spent
some time shooting in Castillo, where
game is very plentiful, relates how he
was convinced of the fact that the hares
10 eat flesh. He had been told so by
the country people, but had treated their
assertion as a ridiculous fiction. The
next time he found himself in party of
sportsman he repeated what he had
heard as joke, but to his surprise every
one listened quite gravely and assured
him that it was perfectly true. They
themselves had frequently seen hares
eating flesh. As he still expressed doubts
on the subject, however, one of the COM
pany offered to bet him 80 liters of wine
that he (the Germany should see hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
The next morning, very early, the Span
lard, the German and two greyhounds
went out to a great heath to look for
flesh eating hares. AS they were sitting
waiting for the hares to appear, the
Spaniard, to the Germans amazement,
took little live crab out of his pocket.
What do you want that for?" said the
German. ITO catch the hare with" re-
piled the Spaniard. 1t struck the Ger
man that perhaps the Spaniard had
brought him out merely to make fool
of him. But then he reflected that that
was not the Spanish way with strangers.
So he held his tongue and went on wait
ing. By and by a fine hare appeared.
In moment the two dogs were after
him (they were we'll muzzled, so that
they could not do him any harm), and
in few moments more the hare had dis
appeared again in his hole, and the dogs
were barking at its mouth. The men got
up and hurried after them.
Now" said the Spaniard, "this is
where my crab comes in" He pulled
out the crab and put it down at the
mouth of the hole, and it, glad to hide in
the dark shade, crept in with all the ex-
pedition it could manage. The Span
lard instantly spread large coarse sack
over the entrance. and in a few moments
out rushed the hare, terrified by its un-
expected visitor, right into the sack
Home they went with their prisoner,
which they placed in a cage. When the
hare had recovered from his fright, he
ate before the Germans astonished eyes
several pieces of the mutton which were
thrown in.-Muenchener Zeitung.

A Family of Giants.

"The best evidence of the truth of the

E. Lucas to the corridor man at the Lin
dell, sis family named Walker, living
in Mitchell county, N. c. There are at
present seven brothers and five sisters,
the lowest stature Of any of them being
feet, which is the height of one Of the
girls. Her sisters run in regular gradu.
alton as to height-6 feet l inch, 6 feet
9 inches and 6 feet inches. The tallest
brother is feet inches, and the short
est feet inches.
'The mother is short, being but feet
inches, while the father, from whom
the children inherit their remarkable
growth. is feet 2 inches. He is of a
family of nine brothers, the tallest of
whom was feet in height and the short
est feet, and all of them lived to con-
siderable age, the only one surviving,
however, being the father of the sons
and daughters mentioned. If the pres
ent family were arranged one above the
other, they would reach 70 feet inches
in height. 1t is said that all of the an
cestors back through several generations

Marriage Proposal Reform.

A suggestion is made for legal re-

promise actions, would deprive them of
all their ornamental trimmings in the
shape of love letters and the other usual
incidents of courtship. 1t is proposed
that no promise of marriage should be
held valid unless it is made in writing
upon properly stamped paper. Young
ladies might affix sixpenny stamp to
the letter in which the swain declares
his affections and ask him to be so good
as to cancel it with his autograph, =

Free trade advocates claim that free
trade will increase exports. They admit
that free trade will increase imports, but
they are fond of asserting that to balance
this fact, we will have the markets of
the world thrown open to our manu-
factures. No one of them has explained
how it is done. Why are they not more
explicit? They can't appeal to history,
for in that Democratic golden era from
AZ to 81, when the country. was under a
revenue tariff the balance of trade against
us was over 43O millions. On the contra
ry, there is this blazing fact to condemn
all free trade theories, that between '78
and ga period of Is years of protec
tion-the balance of trade in our favor
was over 1860 millions. This increase
to our credit is due, and due solely, to
protection. Of tie two periods mention
ed, the latter had no advantage over the
former; indeed it was at some disadvan-
tage, for during the former the discovery
of gold remarkably enriched us.
