In Indianapolis, a young woman, hav-
ing headache probably, sent boy to
an apothecary shop to buy for her five
grains of antipyrin. Her messenger
was ignorant and did not get the name
very precisely, and when he got to the
apothecary shop was so uncertain of
what he wanted that the clerk had to
guess at 1t, and on the strength of his
own guess the clerk gave the boy five
grains of atropine. Atropine is a mar
cotlc poison. 1t Is the active principle
of the deadly nightshade, or atropa
belladonna. 1t bears the same relation
to belladonna that morphine bears to
opium, but it is far more virulent than
morphine. Given hypodermically one
twentieth Of grain is u deadly dose.
OF this poison the young woman took
five grains. What can be thought of a
system where a clerk in an apothecary
shop is authorized to sell a drug of this
kind and is totally ignorant of its ma
ture; or if he is not ignorant of its ma
ture is so murderously reckless as to
sell In large quantity the deadliest
drug in his shop without n written line
ard without even the positive knowl-
edge that that is what is called for9

Voiceless sorrow, grief that is deeper
and more lasting than any that death
ever brings, broken hopes, bllghted
lives and perpetual sadness are covered
by the smiling mask Of habit and edu-
cation. One idol after another is shat
tered, but the well-disciplined mind,
after little time, RECEIVERS its balance,
the carefully trained hands remember
their cunning, and, with no outward
sign Of inward desolation, the ship
wrecked spirit gathers up the remnant
of its life and goes on just the same as
before to do the next thing

Varieties of Corn.

There have been as great changes In
the type of corn as in any kind of cul-
tivated plant. In New England and
most Of the Northern States flint corn
Is almost exclusively grown as q field
crop. For the garden, and to some eX-
tent for general purposes sweet corn
and popcorn are grown. We have
known farmers to have popcorn ground
for meal, and they said that when
cooked 1t was sweeter and better than
that from flint corn. The popcorn grain
Is so small that it is seldom injured in
curing. Sweet corn is, to some extent,
grown as food for milk cows. The
stalks, If cut early, are sweeter than
those of ordinary corn They are,
therefore, more palatable and more nu-
tritious.
The Dent corn is mostly grown in
the West and South. It's stalks are
coarser and less palatable for stock.
Western people think the Dent corn
makes better corn bread than does the
Eastern flint corn, but our idea is that
the flint corn Is the best for all pur-
poses. The weight of stalks of flint
corn is less per acre, but the yield by
weight Of the grain is larger than the
average of that grown at the West
Still, when an Eastern farmer wants
to grow the largest possible yield of
corn, he is apt to select some of the
early Dent varieties to make trial
with. That shows his belief that it is
the greater care which flint corn usu-
ally gets that explains its greater aver
age prollicacy. philadelphia Press.

The Genital Of 100 pounds, the most
sensible unit Of measure ever used, has
not yet been adopted by the trade, but
dealers continue to struggle along with
the two measures. The grain Is bought
from the farmers by the bushel, but
measured by weighing, which necessl-
tates a reduction by the buyer. What
he loses through error Is sacrifice to
a benighted system Of measures. Grain
is shipped by the 100 pounds, and that
is the unit upon which freight rates are
charged. The GENITAL system would
greatly facilitate the business and pre-
vent many errors.

To Make Good Coffee.

Remember In making coffee:
That the same flavor will not suit
every taste.
That everyone can be suited to a
nicely by properly blending two or
more kinds.
That equal parts Of Mocha, Java and
Rio will be rellshed by good many
people.
That mild coffee can be made dan
gerously strong and still retain the
mildness of flavor.
That the flavor is improved If the
liquid Is turned from the dregs as soon
as the proper strength has been OBJ
tanned.
That where the percolatlon method Is
used the coffee should be ground very
fine or the strength will not be extract
ed.
That If the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled 1t should be rather
coarse, otherwise it will invariably be
muddy.
That a good coffee will always COM
mand n fair price; but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily of
high quality.
That in serving, the cups and cream
should be warm; the cream should be
put in the cup before the coffee is put
in, but it is immaterial when sugar is
added.
That a level teaspoonful of the
ground coffee to each cup is the stand

can be made in either direction, accord
ing to the strength desired.-The

Losing Use of land.

Small fruit growers ought to fertilize
their land thoroughly, and when this is
done they should keep it always pro-
ducing something. If the strawberry
patch is running out, either the red or
black cap raspberry can be planted be-
tween the rows In this way the year
after the strawberry plantation is cul-
tivated under the raspberry canes will
be in full bearing. 1t is the same with
the larger fruits A young apple or
pear orchard will grow strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries nearly as
well as If the orchard were not planted
until it gets fully into bearing.

Feed and Breed,

The farmers who believe that the
feed, and not the breed, gives the re-
suits can easily determine for them
selves what the facts may be. Take
two animals, one pure bred or a grade,
and the other a scrub. Give both the
same care and attention, allowing them
as much food as they will consume.
The well-bred animal will give double
the profit derived from the scrub, and
the expense will also be proportionately
less.

The Sleeve Growing Smaller.

change in sleeves, yet it is by no means
prophesied that the large sleeve will be
entirely displaced. There are, however.
always a few women who desire to be
unlike the multitude, and who are eager
for novelty, and nothing could attract
all eyes now more than to see a woman
in tightly fitting sleeves. Those worn
are relieved by ruffles falling from the
shoulders and by puffs and ruffles at
the elbows. This may be looked upon as
the first breath Of a change which will
bring about a pleasant modification in
the size of sleeves. That is all we want,
