How Druggists Even Up.

In a West Philadelphia pharmacy Wis
itor, who is on terms of familiarity with
the proprietor, remarked chaflingly 10 the
latter, Il presume you cleared 90 per cent
profit on that prescription that just went
out
Better than that, " replied the druggist,
"That prescription called for three grains
of powdered alum in two ounces of water.
j buy the alum for about n cent pound
and draw the aqua from the spigot yondor.
The actual cost of the mixture was SO in
flnitesimal that IL could scarcely be ex-
pressed in fractions of cent. Yet l
charged 85 cents for it, and my conscience
doesn't reproach me the least bit. Had /
given IL TO him the probability is that the
patient wouldn't have used 1t at all, and
In any event its eflicaciousncss would
have been impaired by the knowledge that
its commercial value was next TO nothing

The Cherry Stonr.

1t Is a suggestive fact that not tho ora

musician, who Is both player and compos-

Perhaps the emotional nature Of music
gives such intense pleasure TO women
that they cannot help making too much Of
the musician. An amusing illustration OF
this sort of hero worship Is associated with
Charles Gounod, the composer Of Faust. "
one day lady, an intense admirer Of

EASTER LILIES.

with Onions aud Potatoes Leading
Source of Income In Bermuda.
1t is the popular impression that the
production of lily blossoms for the Easter
season in this country is an important in
dustry in the Bermudas. The fact is that
the blossoms are only byproduct incl
dental 10 the growing of lily bulbs 20 be
sent to Europe and America. The expor
tation Of the blossoms is small except at
the Easter season, and at any other time OF
year when the plants are blooming the
blossoms are given To visitors. The same
Is true OF frcesias, which are grown in
great numbers
The soil and climate of the Bermudas
are especially favorable to the growing of
the lily, and the bulbs are an important
product, sharing with onions and potatoes
the attention of cultivators. The lily grow
er separates the bulb into parts and plants
each part. The new bulbs are not export
ed the first yc.sr, but are the second. IL
takes four years 20 produce the great
bulbs, three inches in diameter, from
which spring the tall stalks crowned with
many blossoms. The grower has boards
with four holes of different sizes, and the
bulbs are sorted by passing them through
these holes. Ono sees in Bermuda lily
fields covered with plants varying in
height from few inches 10 two or three
feet. The small ones are tho stalks from
young bulbs. The tallcst are the ones
sent to this country at Easter. The bulbs
bre removed from the ground In summer
and set out again in the autumn.
Bulb growing is profitable and certain.
,rhe grower can be reasonably sure of the
price from year TO year, and he usually
hopes TO make q profit of about az per
200 on lily bulbs sold In lots of 100, 600.
General Hastings of this country, who
finds the climate of the Bermudas peculiar
ly suitable 70 his constitution, has man
aged to ovade tho law forbidding alien
ownership of land In the islands and has
become one of the most notable growers
of lily bulbs
Work in the lily fields is done largely by
negroes, though whites men, women and
children, are also seen in the little patches
Tho Bermuda negroes are better educated
and seemingly moro intelligent than the
negroes Of this country, and their bearing
is markedly different. The Bermuda ne
gro has the broad British accent and rather
less OF what Is supposed I'm this country 20
be the negro dialect Tho ground for the
lilies is broken first with the plow, and
after that the cultivation is entirely with
hand implements. a large matlocklilc
hoe Is used. Although the snowy fields of
lilies and frcesias have often been describ
ed, no one quite realizes the abundance of
THESE and other flowers In the Bcrmudns.
Lilies are seen everywhere growing or cat

WATCH FOR THE DROP.
A Soldiers Clever Trick with a Pocket
knife and n BOTTLE.

One of the soldiers.of the Seventh cava1-
~, at Fort Sheridan, strolled into the can
teen one day and found a number of sol
diers trying games of one kind and anoth-
or.
Some were tricks I'm athletics, and some
were amateur sleight of hand perform
ances. The young cavalryman waited till
things eased up "A little and then climbed on
table and stuck the open blade OF his
pocketknifo into the plain pine ceiling.
Then he got down and announced that
he would set beer bottle so squarely un-
der that knife that when il fell IL would
drop straight into the neck of tho bottle
Nobody believed he could do II, and be-
fore the knife fell he had number of bets
against his ability. Just then the knife
loosencd Straight rs dart II fell and
dropped into the neck Of the bottle, touch
ing not so much rs hint of the sides and
knocking out the bottom in its heavy fall.
There was murmur of amazemcnt,
and the declaration that he could not do 1t
again. The cavalryman said nothing, col
lected his bets and went back TO his quar-
tiers.
After n day or two, in which the fame
of his prowoss had been circulated he went
TO the canteen again, and some one tackled
him TO try the trick again.
He said IL wasn't any trick; K was sim
ply his ability TO gauge correctly. They
had never noticed any particular mcchan-
ical marvcls about him, and they were
Willing 10 bet he could not repeat the sue
cess
Again he took their bets; again he
climbed upon N table and stuck his knifc
in the ceiling; again he put beer bottle
under IL, and again the knife went home,
as If it knew the way.
Time and again he did them. And then
one day an infantrymar from Niobrua
watched him. As tho cavalryman got
down from the tablo the "doughboy" no

Can We Asphyxiate Microbes?

A French scientist is making investiga-
tions regarding the part the newly discov-
cred gas "argon" plays toward bacteria.
The new gas which has SO long been a part
of our atmosphere without our knowing
it, has been combined with oxygen, hydro
gen, chlorine, phosphorus, sulphur, potas-
SUM, sodium and many other elements
without any result. So far as the scientist
can ascertain, "argon" has no effect chem
icaliy upon the higher animals. 1t may,
however, be necessary TO the nourishment
Of bacteria, and this is what he proposes 20
find ont.
Supposing "argon" not 70 be necessary
to man and necessary TO bacilli, storiliza-
tion will be rendered much easier and the
door be opened TO all sorts Of bacteriolog-
ical possibilities. New York World

The Spring Medicine
And the Best HGoa Purifier
SCRAPS AT THE AQUARIUM.
sparring Match Between Two Burgalis
and the Blackfsh's Idea Of 1t.

Fish appear to play and fight something
As birds do Two burgalls in tank at
the New York aquarium the other day
spent half an hour in downright skylark-
ing, which was at times little rough.
They would loaf about at some distance
apart and then spring around and make
rush for each other, meeting or perhaps
halting just before, and balancing In the
water waving their fins as though sparring
for an opening They would look at each
other, noses close together, but not touch
ing, and then perhaps one would back off,
the other following until the first was
pretty near to his corner. Then the one
following would halt and go back To his
own place.
Pretty soon the one that had backed of
would come up again, and the other was
prompt to meet him. This time perhaps
they would meet-not tip TO tip of their
noses, for the end of the fish's nose is ex-
tremely sensitive, and he never runs 1t
against anything if he can help it-their
noses side TO side, and then each would
push for all he knew how. They would
push until their heads overlapped about
one-third of their length back from their
noses Then all of sudden they would
flash apart as though one or the other had
hit the other a heavy blow and the referee
had called time at the same moment.
One fish seemed to win almost every
round, but the other didn't seem TO care
much for that. He came TO the scratch
again every time. Sometimes they skir-
mished little and sometimes they closed
at once. The contest was at point in the
water to the left of the center of the tank.
The fish that generally won staid in that
corner, SO that he hadn't far TO 60 after the
rounds He just loafed about until the
other fish came up again. But the other
fish went farther and farther away after
each round, until finally he took n little
more time between the rounds, and after
each round went over into the right hand
corner of the tank as far as he could go.
Over on the right hand side of the tank,
close against tho side and lying partly un-
der leaf of sea lettuce, was a staid black
fish. He had lain there soberly all through
the skylarking and never moved. But
once, when the burgall that was getting
the worst of IL was lounging back TO his
corner, he got out of his course little and
swung around near the blackfish. The
blackfish made a jump at the burgall in
stantly, saying as plainly as anybody
could
None o your nonsense around hereP
The burgall jumped out of the angry
blackfish's way, and the blackflsh backed
down under the sea lettuce again.
But the burgall wasn't disturbed by the
cranky old blaGkfish. He swung around
up in his corner drew "A long breath and
took little rest. a minute later he was
down in the opposite corner again, nose to
nose with tho other burgall. ll.-New York

A CbInaman Arrested.

Charles Yaw, the best known Chinaman
in the city, was arrested by officer Tyler
of the Central Station last night on
warrant charging him with keeping
disorderly house and harboring persons
OF a doubtful reputation.
Ii is said that "Charley" conducts an
opium joint, and among his callers were
the much talked of Ulmans. In fact the
Ulmsns testified in the Sixth District
Court that they had frequently visited
his place, and il was through
their testimony that Charlie was arrested.
For many years he conducted laundry
at 9S2 Westminster street, but about six
months he changed his location TO Wey-
bosset near Burrill street, where he was
arrested.
He was taken before Judge Sweetland
last evening and was given hearing. lie
was held in the sum of $1,000 until Friday.
The police say that he cannot be charged
with keeping an opium joint as there is
no law against smoking opium.

1T WAS THE GRIP.
Amy T.. Miner Had Letter From Her
Lover Dated the Day of Suicide.

There was n report yesterday OF the
death, by suicide, of George F.lWatson In
San Francisco, the cause being said TO be
that Mr.. Watson felt unworthy TO marry
his sweet heart. who lives in Providence,
and who was understood to have recently
become heiress to quite an estate throug n
the death of her parents. The young
lady's name is Amy T.. Miner.
Today another report was circulated 10
the effect that Miss Miner, in an inter-
view, said that care drove her lover in
sane. Miss Miner wishes, through THE
NEWS, TO declare that both
reports were exaggerated. she
says that she was engaged to watson
and she received letter from him yester-
day, in which he stated he was suffering
from an aggravated attack of the grip
and was half crazy. Nothing was said
about unworthiness, care, suicide, or any
thing else, ana Miss Miner thinks the dis
ease drove him crazy, as 1t has so many
people before.
