The Boston Herald gives
on account of recent ex-
animation of candidates for the
certificates required by the Mass
achusetts state laws before clerk is
entitled to dispensing privileges. p"
Some of the questions and answers
make rather interesting reading and
we'll illustrate the need of such re-
strictive laws. This extract from
one examination indicates the re-
lance of too many dispensers of
drugs when driven to extremities.
Examiner-What's the other name for
dog grass?
Applicant know it, but 1 can't seem
to get it.
Examiner-Where does it come from?
Applicant-A wholesale drug store.
The next applicant, man ~
years old and who had been in a
drug store four years, didn't know
some things, but had acquired bit
of knowledge supposed to be indis-
pensible to we'll educated drug
clerk.
Examiner-What is the scientific name
for common salt?
Applicant-I don't know.
of
in a drachm?
Applicant don't know.
Examiner-What is the common name
for spiritus frumenti?
Applicant with sudden fervor)-Whis-
key.
We find room for one more extract
wherein it appears that some appli-
cants for certificates know too
much:
Examiner-From what does phosphor-
Gus come?
Applicant-From bones and trees.
Examiner-What part of the tree
Applicant-The bark of the trunk.
Examiner-Any tree?
Applicant don't know.
Examiner-Is there phosphorus tree?
Applicant-Yes, sir.
These are fair examples of the ans
wers given by unsuccessful candi-
dates for certificates. They furnish |
ample evidence of a considerable
class of would-be druggists who are
kept in subsection by a wise law.

]. h. KENNEDY CLOSES THE GAME.

TO The PUBLIC: For the past few
weeks you have been reading personal
letters of N C. Nash attacking me and my
replies to the same. Nash in his last
states that he is done with his discussion
and in closing it on my side simply
desire to say: have been asked why such
discussion at a time when neither Nash
or myself were candidates for any Office
and when each of us were pursuing our
private business. The community is in
| terested in all it's citizens and in their
prosperity and success, and in no manner
pleased to haye private character DETAINED
or private enterprise and effort discour-
aged. Each member of Il community re-
quires the encouragement and support of
all in order that the best interest of the
whole community may be subserved.
When any individual IS assaulted the whole
community in Il measure is ffected.
Acting on these principles throughout the
controversy took care TO in no manner
go outside the attack in orde- to villify
Nash, Notwithstanding I might have
shown him the most amous of men.
1 should not have noticed his malicious
attacks were it not for the reason he had
been villifying me privately and circulat-
ing the most Infamous of falsehoocs. My
object was simply to show that Nash's
open attacks would only exhibit the NAL
ice Of the man. think can safely claim
that Notwithstanding the attack was
made with all the venom Of hate he fail
ed in all his charges and my branding |
him as a liar is fully sustained by the de- |
velopmcnts Of the controversy. l have
no desire to further pursue this matter,
which can not fail to be dispensing to the
whole community. | have my remedy |
for the injury ard sandcr and libel done
me and will pursue it al the proper time.

ems of the town and county, do what | can
for the welfare of all.

as cold and hunger can make them,

One lady who serves at the Donna
counter gives, in Longman's Maga-
line, the following touching instance
man who, almost penniless, yet
wished to make some return for the
kindness of those who had enriched
him by sympathetic speech and act:
"One cold, windy day, saw among
the men a poor fellow whose misera-
bic appearance made him noticeable
evsa among SO many sad-looking
creatures. The way in which he
shuffled up to the counter, laid down
! half-penny and asked for slice of
pudden' showed that he was utterly
Jut Of heart. I gave him what he
asked for, and an extra slice as we'll,
saying: I'm sure you could eat this,
too
"He looked up thoroughly surprised.
[ fancy it must have been q long
time since any one had spoken kind
word to him. Then, with mumbled
thanks, he went away to eat his din
ner. Presently, while still busy cut
|ting up pudding, 1 saw my poor
friend hastily approaching. He just
glanced at me, and hurriedly laid a
pair Of boot-lacings OF the counter at
|my side
That's for you, lady, he said,
and walked off without another word.
Il am by no means a sentimental
person, but l really think L must
keep those shoe-lacings always, as
the most touching gift I ever re-
.eiyed."

CeliuIose for Ship Armor.

Not only in our own country, but
I'm France, Germany, Russia, and
Others nations, the use of cellulose
for ship armOr has been introduced,
and, as an illustration of its effective
ness, one of the Danish warships was
equipped recently with belt Of the
material and a shot fired at it tore a
hole away through the whole vessel,
the action Of water on the cellulose,
however, closing the hole up very
soon, letting in but few gallons Of
water. In ordinary manufacture for
realizing this result the article is the
ground fiber of the cocoanut which
has been treated for the removal of
the giutinOus associations. 1t has
the appearance Of brownish meal,
and its peculiar value is that, upon
contact with water, its tendency is to
swell quickly, rendering an Oritice or
hole made by the pouring in of water
as tight as need be in a short time.
In an uncompresSed state it burns
slowly, but when compressed it is al
most totally incOmbustible. Its
specific gravity is very low, a cubic
foot of the ordinary article weighing
but rs pounds, while a briquette of
eight pounds. When packed in COM
partments, it is preserved from direct
contact with the metal of the ship by
thick coating of paint-applicd to
the latter-as if dampened from leaks
or otherwise the portion in contact
with the metal viii! deteriorate.

The accounting was in the hands OF a
daughter who would bring personal
interest to the work. The lawyer,
also, has at times certain briefs AMI
affi 1avits which cannot always be
written at the Office, and he, too,
would be glad to have his daughters

certain things in life which he would
gladly turn into the hands OF

Good Ecncoa.

These are a necessity. not only for
the protection of crops, but to avoid
the effect upon animals. As the
Farmers Home Weekly puts. it,
'have low fences If you want to
teach the stock to jump; weak fences
|if you want to make them breachy." 1t
lis very noticeable how quickly an an
|imal that has once found a weak
place in fence. and, by rubbing or
otherwise, broken it down SO as to
render the task of getting out easy.
will again seek that spot and try by
some means to effect breach; few
successful attempts in that line will
greatly embolden to more exertiOn,
and unless fences are strong and re-
'sist all efforts, an animal will soon
become uncomfortable in that direc-
tion. The same rules applies to
jumping; if escape from one enclos-
ure is effected by a small jump, a
greater one will be made next time,
and soon there can hardly be any re-
|straint These are important rea-
sons why every farmer should have
secure fences, and should never tempt
an unruly animal to lead others into
the bad practice Of being unruly or
breachy. which is one OF the most
serious of farm annOya1cea

cAMPHoR CULTURE IN JAPAN.
The Trees 1t Comes from and How 1t II
Manufactured.

Manufactured.
Many of the seed. Of the camphor
tree have been sent to the DEPART
ment of State from Japan in the hope
of affording to the United States a
chance to add this valuable substance
to its vegetable products. The tree
is species of laurel, and it grows in
extensive forests in the mountainous
regions of the south OF Japan far
from the sea. Large groves are
owned by the Japanese Government,
the wood being very desirable for
shipbuilding. MANY of the trees at
tain an enormous size, often measur-
ing twelve feet in diameter and some
times attaining twenty feet. The
seeds or berries grow in clusters, re-
sembling black currants in size and
appearance. The fine grain of tho
wood renders it particularly valuable
for cabinet work.
The camphor is reSinouS gum.
To get it the tree is necessarily de-
stroycd, but by stringent law of the
land, another is planted in it's stead.
The simple method Of manufacture
employed by the natives is as follows:
The tree Is felled to the earth and
cut into chips A big metal pot is
partly filed with water and placed
over a slow fire. Then a wooden tub
is fitted to the top of the pot and the
chips Of camphor wood are placed in
this The bottom of the tub is per-
forated, so as to permit the steam to
pass up among the chips.
a steam-tight cover is fitted on the
tub. from this tub a bamboo pipe
leads to another tub, through which
the incloSed steam, the generated
camphor, anG oil flow. The second
tub is connected in like manner with
the third. The third tub is divided
into two compartments, one above
the other, the dividing floor being
perforated with small holes to allow
the water and oil to pass to the lower
compartment. The upper cOmpart-
ment is supplied with layer Of straw,
which catches and holds the camphOr
in crystals. The Camphor is then sepa-
rated from the straw, packed In
wooden tubs of 1873 pounds each, and
is ready for market. !
After each boiling the water runs
which is utilized by the natives for
Illuminating and other purposes.
Adulteration of camphor gum is
practced mostly by adding water just
is far as the buyer will tolerate it,.
Sometimes the purchaser will find
that twenty pounds Of water have run
out of tub in twelve hours The
unadulteratod article, known as 'old
dry" can sometimes be bought, but
not often. In a letter on the subject
newly received by the Department Of
State, Consul Smithers writes from
Osaka, Japan, that it would be very
desirable to send a competent agent
from this country to Japan, who
should visit the camphcr-producing
districts and study the processes OF
manufacture, packing, etc.-Wash-

One of the most fertile resources OF
colds and serious incidental ailments
Is the wearing of damp shoes. Whep
shoes have been saturated with water
the attempt to dry them by exposing
chem before stove or fire is obviously
damaging to the leather, while it does
not insure the expulsion of moisture
from the inside. For accomplishing
this a new invention has been brought
out, consisting of a hollow stoneware
last, which can be filed with hot
water like bottle and which is made
in a variety of shapes and sizes to cor
respond to the inside of ordinnry
shoes. The hole at the top of the IN
is corked as soon as the hot water i.
been poured in. The last is kept
position until the inside of the shoe
thoroughly dry, and the hot water &C
be renewed if necessary. ry.-Chica9o

Sowing Flower seeds.

when the flower bed is made tnu
soil should be dry, so that it will
crumble as turned from the spade. In
this condition it can be raked very
fine, as 1t should be to receive the
little seeds. A quarter of an inch
may be named as about the proper
depth for sowing most seeds, but
some, such as petunia, amaranthus,
nicotiana, and others that are very
fine need the lightest covering pos.
sible. If the soil of the seed bed is
not as light as desirable it is a good
plan to cover the seeds after sowing
them in the drill with fine sand.
This will enable the little plants to
push their way easily to the light and
air. After sowing each row it should
be pressed down or firmed, which
may be done by laying piece of lath
over the row and pressing it we'll
down, or by means of small solid
block of wood the soil can be patted
or gently beaten; this operation
brings the soil in close contact with
the seeds and prevents it from drying
out quickly when exposed to sun and
wind. After sowing the seeds water
the bed amply with a finc-rosed pot.
Chickens are frequently trouble
some, if not ones own, then a neigh
bor's, and to prevent their scratching
in the mellow soil, a practice they
greatly delight in, the seed bed should
be well protected with brush laid
over it.
If it should appear that there is
danger of frost after the plants are
up one should be ready to protect
them by covering them with cloths.
When the plants have attained some
strength and are an inch or two in
height, according to varieties, they
can be transplanted either into an
other rich bed, giving them more
room and growing them on to larger
size preparatory to final removal, or
they can be set where they are tC re-
main to bloom

Firs. Practical Use of tho GulIlot,ne.

DIR. Guillotlne, when member OF
the French constituent assembly in
1889, proposed that all executions
should be by machine. That system,
he said, would be swifter and more
painless than the old system OF de.
capitation by means Of the sword or
AK. He was proceeding to describe a
contrivance of his own when he was
interrupted by shouts of laughter.
In less than two years, however, his
ideas were adopted and incorporated
in the penal code. DIR. Antoine
Louis, Secretary to the Academy Of
Surgeons, was requested to prepare a
memorandum on the subject Of de-;
decaritation and in his report he re-
commended the adoption of an in
strument almost identical in design
TO that suggested by DIR. Guillotine.'
His report was accepted, and the con-
tract for constructing one Of these
machines for each OF the French de-
partments was given to a German
named Schmidt. 1t was tested re-
peatedly upon dead bodies in a hos
pital and was found to work satisfac.
torily. On the 25th Of April, 1892.
it was used upon a criminal for the
first time, Pelletier, notorious high
wayman, being the victim. At first
the machine was known as the
"Louisette" or ''La Petite Louison, :"
but it was not long before Guillotine
was given the unenviable honor Of
having his name applied to it. The
old story that he suffered death by
means of the instrument he himself
invented has been shown to be false.
He survived the Revolution and dice
a natural death in 1914.
