Deer and Bison.

The bison of India has never been
kept long in captivity, except in the
case of one bull which is now in the
possession of his highness the Mahara-
jah of Mysore. How this bull came to
survive, when so many of his fellows
had succumbed, is very pretty story
1t is related by the author Of "GOld,
Sport, and Coffee Planting In MysOre,"
who took it down from the lips Of his
neighbor, Mr.. Park, who captured the
animal and was knowing to all the de-
tails Of the story.
When captured, the bull was sup
posed to be about three days old. A
week afterward a young doe sambur
pursued by jungle dogs, ran into a
laborer's cottage and was made q pris-
oner. 1t was decided to keep the deer
as q companion for the bison, and the
two were accordingly kept together,
though never shut up. They were fed
on milk, and then allowed to Craze, and
soon became inseparable.
They were fed at twelve o'clock and
at four in the afternoon. and seemed
to know their feeding times exactly.
When the bison was two years old it
was thought best to fit him with a nose
rope. He was tied to tree, his nose
was bored, and he was liberated. He
ran all about the grounds, and then, for
the first and only time, he was heard
to below.
After this he was regularly led out
to Craze. The sambur would some
times remain behind, but seemed to
have no difficulty in finding him, put
ting up her nose to catch the scent, and
then starting at once in the right direc-
ton. The bison had no such power,
and If ever he missed his companion,
would go wandering about until he
found her.
When the bull was three years old he
was presented to the maharajah, and
was sent off to the nearest railway sta
ton, some sixty miles away. The doe
soon noticed his absence, held up her
nose as usual, got the direction, and
when the bull was five or six miles on
the way she overlook him. He showed
the most extreme delight, and the two
travelled happily to Mysore.
Mr.. Park saw the bull In 1891, and
two or three years afterward Mr.. Ell
hot was glad to learn that the bison
and the deer were still inseparable COM
panions, and both in excellent health.
He believes that the bull would long
ago have pinned away and died, but for
the society Of the doe.

WOES OF DRUG CLERKS.

Mistakes Made by Doctors, Blind Pre-.
scriptions, Troublesome Customers.
Doctors make mistakes In writing
prescriptions" said a druggist to q
Portland Oregonian man. "Some are
careless; others cannot spell. The
pharmacist must not tell the customer
who brings the prescription of this.
The customer would either think the
clerk a very impudent fellow or lose
faith in the physician. Another vexa-
tious thing is the practice Of quacks In
making out prescriptions with several
things In them that can only be pro.
cured of the advertiser We are often
obliged to ransack the store to satisfy
these customers.
do you notice these silver threads
among the gOld?" asked the clerk as he
pointed to few white hairs among the
lusterleSs brown ones that adorn his
head. "Those silver threads are the re-
suit Of repeated and continual attempts
to read prescriptions that contain only
slight clew to the intended meaning.
Now, for instance, what would you
give little miss Of who asked you
for 8 cents worth Of glory divine!"
"I'd tell her we were just out of it,
but would have some in Wednesday,"
"No; you wouldn't If you were drug
clerk. You would probably do as I did,
give her 8 cents worth Of chloride Of
lime.
I'll tell you how it Is, reporter. A
drug clerk works more hours. has more
responsibility, and gets less pay gener-
ally than the clerk in any other bust
ness. He must also be q walking ency-
