Cocaine.

Although chloroform and ether-long
the absolute safeguards against the most
acute pains of major operations-fulllled
all special indications, there was always
felt pressing need for some pain destroy
er that should have merely "a local action
Then came cocaine to claim her crown.
The discovery of its marvellous power TO
limit areas of anesthesia without loss of
consciousness settled all questions of pain
in operations, great or small. The credit
of bringing this wonderful drug to the
attention of the profession Is properly ten
dered to DIR. Carl Roller. Now the gap
between the liberation of extreme agony
and the endurance of lesser pains is SO
completely closed over by the dropping of
cocaine on the eyeball or by the direct in
lection of the solution under the skin that
the patient can witness the operation on
himself in the surprise of entire absence of
sensation, and can truthfully ask 80
pain, where Is thy victory o blade,
where is thy stingt"
Many of the eye operations which for
merly required etherization are now per
formed with cocaine, obviating the dis
comforts and risks of general anasthesia
without adding to the shock of the patient.
Its efficacy in abolishing pain of mucous
surfaces admits of no question. In the
earlier days Of its use for that purpose IL
rose to worldwide fame when IL touched
the aching throat of General Grant and
bade his pain he still. 1t came I'm time for
him as 1t has for thousands of similar suf-
ferers since.-Dr. George f. Shrady in

VARIATION OF POTATOES.

There Is much wider difference in the
quality OF potatoes than most people
suppose, who have not dealt in this
crop. 1t is not only difference in size,
though most OF the small potatoes are
watery and immature, but so, too, are
many of the larger ones, which cannot
be distinguished by Impractical eyes
from potatoes that are well matured
and filled with starch. These potatoes
that have had their development ar
rested are not fit for seed, though they
are often used for seed by those who do
not know better. 1t is very easy when
cutting potatoes for planting To know
what are immature. They will be not
ably softer than others and the pieces
will be more watery when cut. All
such potatoes should be thrown out
and not be used for seed. If they are
planted there will be "A number of thin,
splndling plants in hill, making a
number of small potatoes and those OF
inferior quality, because the vines did
not have sufficient leaf to make them
grow larger or to ripen them.
Another way in which potatoes are
made TO deteriorate is to plant too
much seed. This with some is almost
inevitable. If the eyes or buds for
growing are punched on one end, it is
the common practice to cut the potato
lengthwise. This divides the seed end
and gives the potato too much seed for
a hill. If an effort is made to divide
the seed end so as to allow each piece
twa or three eyes, the pieces will be so
small that unless the soil is made very
rich, the early growth Of the potatoes
will be checked. A better way is to
cut off the seed end altogether and not
plant it, cutting the remainder OF the
potato into pieces, each containing not
less than two good eyes with enough OF
the tuber attached to sustain the first
growth of the plant until the potato
roots get hold Of the soil. If possible,
while the potatoes are being dug, mark
those hills that have large thrifty
stalks and are filled with we'll grown
smooth and matured potatoes; this is
the practice of the most successful
potato growers. The potatoes thus
selected should be kept in pits rather
than in the cellar and should not be
disturbed until spring, if kept in con-
tact with earth and covered by it.
These potatoes will be firm and hard
up TO time OF planting. Potato seed
thus prepared will make a strong
growth and produce IA crop OF potatoes
that will be mostly of marketable size
and OF good quality. There is no rea-
son why varieties OF potatoes should
run out Most that do SO have been
injured 10y lack of care during the
growing season or were originally I'm
perfect from being produced from
immature or excessively small seed.

The Man OF Moderate Means.

"If," said the man Of moderate means,
I'VE dwell too long upon II word, our APP
prehension of IL Is likely to become dull.
The word may even cease to look familiar,
and we may find ourselves unable even to
tell whether it is correctly spelled or not,
though 1t may be u very simple word in
deed. 1t comes To us all right again the
next time we look at It, when we view 1t
with an unclouded vision.
II suppose that this Is common ex-
perieDce, though it almost seems as If
some persons ought to be exempt from 1t.
l met, for instance, once, man who Is
worth l don't know how many millions
but lot of 'em, who, over some matter
we had occasion to discuss, spoke of this
temporary mental obtuseness concerning u
word as an experience of his own.
lit seemed kind of strange that man
with all his millions should ever find him
self unable to spell just simple little
word, but In that respect we were just
alike. / could wish that we were more

TACOMA,S EARLY MONEY.
IL Was Of Brass and Iron and Made by n
Blacksmith.

III w A8 Oh lbTbBb anu IRON anu ny
Blacksmith.
Tacoma once had mint that coined all
Of the money in circulation where the City
of Destiny now stands, and IL did not re-
quire the fiat of Uncle Sam, the silver of
Idaho or the gold of California To make
the pieces from Tacoma's mint pass cur
rent among Indians and the few hardy
pioneers that were blazing the path of
civilization through the forest on the
shores of Commencement bay.
Back in the early seventies the Tacoma
Mill company, not being able to handily
secure gold and silver for use in trading
with and paying off the Indian laborers
and early settlers, hit upon the novel plan
of issuing its own currency, and to this
end set its blacksmith to work to fash
ion for It, out of scraps Of iron and
brass, pieces of money, or rather tokens,
which could be used as circulating medi-
um The pieces consisted of 40 and 40
cent iron tokens and brass 81 pieces. The
40 cent pieces were about an inch in diam
eter, and the As cent pieces were about the
size of the present silver half dollar. The
81 pieces were oval in shape, about ~
inches long, an inch wide and sixteenth
of an inch in thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures showing
their value and readily passed current all
over the country tributary to the mill.
Nearly all of this old mill coin has
passed away, but William Hanson of the
Tacoma Mill company recently presented
a set of these queer coins To the Ferry mu
scum.
In his letter To the museum he said:
"The honesty Of the people and the alb
sence of any blacksmith shop save that of
the company made the use Of this money
possible"
Oregon has long boosted that the "Beav-
err coin, minted at Oregon City in the
early fifties, was the only money minted In
the northwest in the days of the pioneer
but here in Tacoma, long years after Ore
CONS Beaver mint had become a his
torical incident, was primitive mine that
| supplied the coin to furnish the pioneers
and Indians with all of the necessities for
their rough lives.
The coins, which are still preserved, are
| roughly made, just such as any blacksmith
with ordinary tools might make, and AS IA
matter of fact during the early years of the
| mill company existence they formed prac-
tically the local circulating medium of ex-
change When the Indians who were EN-
ployed in the mill were paid for their labor,
| this coin sufliced, and all the trading they
did was with the little store run in connec-
ton with the mill. The iron and brass
pieces We're, of course, passed among the
| Ind ians in trading with each other, and as
anything in the way of supplies was pur-
| chased by them at the mill store the pieces
were fully as good to them as If they had
| borne the stamp of the governnient.-Ta

hUMOR OF THE HOUR.

az Square" Simmonds, man noted for
she shortness of his memory. He car

which was written the brief marriage
form which he used when called upon

this document.
One day at county fair in a neigh
