How Druggists Even Up.

In a West Philadelphia pharmacy a Wis
itor, who is on terms of familiarity with
the proprietor, remarked c~haffingly to the
latter, II presume you cleared 80 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.
I buy the alum for about "a cent a pound
and draw the aqua from the spigot yonder.
The actual cost of the mixture was so in
fnitesimal that it could scarcely be ex-
pressed in fractions of a cent. Yet 1
charged IS cents for it, and my conscience
doesn't reproach me the least bit. Had I
given it to him the probability is that the
patient wouldn't have used it at all, and
in any event it's righteousness would
have been impaired by the knowledge that
its commercial value was next to nothing.
And there's another side. l compounded
a prescription this morning the rare in
gradients of which actually cost me nearly
s.. 1 charged 81 for it, and the customer
gave me a look which said as plainly as
words, You're a swindler.' '-Philadel-

The Cherry Stone.

It is u suggestive fact that not the ora
tor, nor the artist, nor the poet, but the
musician, who is both player and co1npos-
er, calls out the most exaggerated express
sions of hero worship from ONE Liszt's
feminine pupils treasured a hair picked
from his coat collar and made a fetch of
anything he had handled.
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 a lady, an intense admirer of
the composer, paid him a visit in his large,
handsome study. On the mantelpiece she
noticed u cherry stone, which she took and
had it set rs a brooch, surrounded by dia-
monds and pearls.
Several weeks later the lady again visit
ed Gounod, and calling his attention to
the brooch told him what she had done.
"But, madam" said the musician, II
never eat cherries. The stone you found
on the ma%ntelpieceswas from a cherry eaten
by my servant Jean."-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Violet For Mourning.

1t was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by III also for half
mourning. Painters suffering from n.y.
steria and neurasthenia will be inclined to
cover their pictures uniformly with the
color most in accordance with their condi-
ton of lassitude and exhaustion. Thus
originate the violet pictures Of Manet and
his school, which spAing from no actually
observable aspect of nature, but from a
subjective view due to conditions of the
nerves. When the entire surface of walls
in salons and, art exhibitions of the day
appears yelled in uniform half mourning,
this prediction for violet is simply an ex-
preston Of the nervous debility of the
painter.-Condensed From Nordau's Ode

The food costs from $1,000 to S1,5GO a
month. It costs from $4,000 to $4,000
a year to run one of these cars, exclusive
of the wear and tear. A sleeping car
leaving New York for Chicago is sup
piled with 120 sheets, 100 pillow slips
and 100 towels. The washing is done IN
different cities at a low rate. One com
pany, for 700 cars, uses every month
2.400 dozen cakes toilet soap, 1000 dozen
boxes matches, 35 dozen hair brushes, so
dozea whisks, 60 dozen combs, and a
vast number of sponges and busters"
These conveniences are now so COM
mon on fret-class roads as to excite
no comment except the "kick" of
some passenger who fancies he has not
had everything. There used to be a lit
tie objection to the uniform price OF
meals, but that is not heard since the
"cafe plan" was adopted. The publisher
of a prominent St. Paul daily said lately
III like the cafe plan on the Burlington
dining cars, because I car pay according
to my appetite and the attractions of the
bill, and don't pay for what scme other
fellow wants." The diners on this line

SCRAPS At THE AQUARIUM.
a Sparring Match Between Two Burgalls
and the Blackhsh's Idea Of 1t.

- bpATrl0S Nh8CCn beCWeen Two 6ur&0ll0
and the Blackfish's Idea of 1t.
Fish appear to play and fight something
las birds do. Two burgalls in a tank at
the New York aquarium, the other day
spent half an hour in downright skylark-
ing, which was at times a little rough.
They would loaf about at some distance
apart and then spring around and make a
rush for each other, meeting or perhaps
hating 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 n would back of,
the other following until the first was
pretty near to his corner. Then the one
following would halt AND 60 back to his
own place.
Pretty soon the one that had backed off
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 run it
against anything If he can help it-their
noses side to side, mi 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 a sudden they would
flash apart as though n or the other had
hit the other q heavy blow and the referee
had called time ut 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 Skin
mished a little, and sometimes they closed
at once. The contest was at a 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 go 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 a 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 a leaf of sea lettuce, was q 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 it was lounging back to his
corner, he got out Of his course a little and
swung around near the Blacklist. The
blackfish made a jump at the burgall in
stantly, saying as plainly as anybody
could:
"None O. your nonsense around here!'
The burgall jumped out of the angry
blackfish's way, and the Blacklist backed
down under the sea lettuce again.
But the burgall wasn't disturbed by the
cranky old Blacklist. He swung around
up in his corner, drew a long breath and
took q little rest. A minute later he was
down in the opposite corner again, nose to
nose with the other burgall.-New York

Wind Bound.

An elderly gentleman, who had a horror
of the north wind, never went out of doors
so long as it lasted. He had a weathercock
erected in his garden in order to tell him
which way the wind blew. In due course
the north wind set in, and he at once shut
himself up. Every morning he looked out
at the weathercock, but no change had &C.
cured. This state of things went on for a
month. At length he began to suspect that
something was wrong, and calling his man
servant the two resolved to examine the
weathercock. Judge Of their surprise when
they found it firmly fixed pointing to the
north. The fact vas easily explained-a
discharged housemaid had done it to re-
venge herself for her dismissal.-San Fran.

FOND OF THE LETTER n.

Men Use 1t For an Initial In Names When
Any Other Would Do.
cts a peculiar thing said the know
ing clerk in a hotel which is noted moro
for it's hospitality than it is for it's inquisi-
tivehess into the character of it's guests,
tits a peculiar thing the %fondness that the
average man has for the letter H as an in
itial. Now 1 don't suppos that there are
more middle names beginning with H
than with any other letter, NJ or r or S or
B, but nine men out of ten, if they are in
doubt about a middle initial, decide on H.
Now my middle initial is W, but for ev-
cry letter 1 get, except from people I know
we'll, that has my initial right I get three
In which 1t is put down H. It's very sell
dom, too, that you'll find a man with suf-
1cient strength Of character to leave out
the middle initial of the man he's writing
to II he doesn't know it, SO he claps in an
H and lets 1t go. There seems to be a pre-
vailing superstition that a man isn't just
what he ought to be unless he has a mid.
die NAME, and that the chances are very
strong that name begins with the eighth
letter of the alphabet.
"Now here's another instance. Cast
your eyes over this page of our register.
That is mostly late guests who drop In
here late at night and sign manner other
than their own. See the result, Charles
H. Jones, John H. Smith, George H.
Robinson, "A. H. Brown, #. w. Brown
and so on. There are ten names on that
one page the middle initial of which is H
Now that letter isn't any easier to write
than any other letter; it certainly isn't
any more ornamental, and I can't see that
in any respect it has an advantage over
the rest of the alphabet. Yet the human
race sticks to it with a fidelity worthy OF
q more important cause. I'd like to have
some wise man tell me why. New York

B MANNERS.
How They Have Been Evoluted Out of
Savage Customs.

How They Have Been Evoluted Out of
Savage Customs.
How did table manners arise? Where
do they come from? Like Topsy and 9th
er human institutions, they Just grow
cd" And it is surprising how slow of
development has been the sentiment of
cleanliness and neatness which was the
principal cause of the invention of the i'm
plcmonts and dishes used in serving food
and eating.
In good old paleolithic times, when hu-
man beings were always within "a hours
of starvation, man ate only with his fin.
gers. He hunted for his food in the woods
or by tho seashore, and he picked the bones
clean. Two table articles are found among
uncivilized people-the knife and the
spoon. The knife was originally a weapon
of attack and defense. 1t was used for cut
ting and carving flesh, but it's convenience
in eating soon became apparent.
Thu origin of the spoon is uncertain.
1t must have been invented at a very an
cient date, for it is found among people
that nave never come into contact with
civilization. The necessity of having some
implement for dipping water seems to have
led first to the invention of the calabash
or the use of the cocoanut shell and later
On to the spoon.
We must wait 1000 years before we find
the FORK. Or, as a French writer on table
etiquette has said, from the creation Of
the world to the beginning of the seven
tenth century MAJ ate only with his
fingers" This is, however, a mistake Of
400 years, for we find forks as early as the
thirteenth century, when they are men
toned as being kept for special purposes.
Thus John, duke of Brittany, Is said to
have used a fork to pick up %''soppys, and
Piers Graveston had three for eating
pears with.-Lee j. Vance in Lippincott's.

The Language of Signs,

Paris, got into Il dispute with a boulevard
Ter, who prided himself on his fine man
ners. The Partisan, wishing to carry off
the thing with a high hand, pulled a glove
out of his pocket and threw it at the stran-
ger. The latter, astonished, inquired the
meaning of the action. When it was ex.
planned to him that throwing a glove was
equivalent to u slap in the face. the young
provincial sat down, gravcly drew off one
of his boots and threw it at the back of his
opponent. -Almanach Amusant.

Louis the Greats Size.

Louis the Great had even and tolerably
regular features, without any strongly
marked characteristics. BY all his contem-
poraries he is spoken of as a tall man, but
he had a way Of raising his head, sur
mounted by the monstrous wig he wore,
and of swelling his chest, that created the
impression of height, for when the sepul;
cheers of the kings were violated by the
convention and his body was dragged out
of his coffin it was measured and found a
trifle over s feet 6 inches.
