Agood little boy, but not too good,
was reproved the other day, writes
Harper's Weekly, for being "bossy"
with his sisters. "Bossy" is not as
yet dictionary word, and is not so
pretty a word as some others, but it
has some claims to a respectful con-
sideration. 1t conveys its idea very
promptly and directly, and the idea is
one that is not otherwise readily con-
yeyed except by circumlocution. To
be Glossy" is not to be arbitrary, nor
yet dictatorial. It simply expresses
the propensity to make the plans for
a company and see that they are
carried out.

among other things:

Complaint is voiced by the drug
gists of Pittsburg, that their business
is rendered much less profitable by
the growing practice OF physicians in
supplying drugs to patients in the
form Of tablets and disks prepared by
the manufacturing chemists. As one
of the druggists puts it: "The pre-
script1on business of a pharmacy is
dwindling more and more, and if it
we're not for the soda water fountains,
ciqar-stands, cosmetics, lotions, toilet
nreparatlons, and articles of luxury
which are now on sale in almost all
drug stores, the sheriff would have all of
MS. We do a considerable prescrip-
ton business, but the profits derived
from it would not justify our staying
in bushes, nor would we be able to
continue hereif we had nothing else to
depend upon. The doctors reason
for tits that, in furnishing the medicine
themselves, they are assured Of the
drug by the reputation Of the makers,
and that they run no risk Of failing to
accomplish the desired results through
the deterioration of drugstore stock
or sthe crime OF substitution" Of one
drug for another not in stock. A
further reason is that the tablets arC
more palatable, and are, therefore,
much more convenient for administra.

"Wnisky will never cure poisonous

experience, to a reporter. The idea
that whisky is an antidote for the bite
of a rattlesnake or any other venom
Gus reptile is q delusion so popular and
general that | always take special pains
to correct and expose it in my lectures
Whisky never will and never did cure
any one bitten by a snake. but because
some person took some whisky after
being bitten by a harmless snake and
recovered he attributed his cure to the
whisky, and so the idea gained circula-
ton. have never known case to be
cured by the use of whisky and have
known several cases whore it had been
used to result fatally. Whisky only
adds additional poison to the system
instead of removing and destroying
that of the snake.
The only thing that Will cure a per-
son bitten by a rattler or other poison
Gus snake is the use Of permanganate
of potash This is an effectual cure in
almost every instance. The venom OF
a reptile is injected into the blood and
the poison destroys the blood globules.
I was bitten by a rattler on my index
finger and Immediately took my pocket
knife and made deep incision near
the wound, so that the poison could not
be taken up and distributed through
my system. The bitten part was then
cauterized and it caused me no trouble

The family of Jacob Draudt, Il grocer
at Jackson and Madison streets has

from their cellar for the last two or
three days, says the Courier Journal
The family was considerably incon-

case was laid before Il police officer,
who listened attentiyely to the sounds
that came from within the cellar. They
came from part OF the cellar which
could only be reached throuh a mar
row opening in the sidewalk; the man
who went after him took his life in
his hands. Officer Prather considered
it his duty as a duly sworn officer to
keep the public peace to go in after
the disturber; so. armed with a hatchet
he began to crop his way through the
narrow, dark opening. He had been
gone but a few seconds when a wild
scream came out of the pavement. Fol
lowing this was yell of pain from the
officer The crowd attracted to the
scene was thrown into spasms. Some
were for sending for a rescuing party.
but all appeared to be more disposed
to stand by and listen Then a yell Of
triumph from the dark recesses reas-

bravoly to- crowd into the opening.
Following this appeared the form of a
black cat. splitting and clawing, but
clutched firmly in bleeding hand be-
