An Art Study.

A look of serious meditation rests
upon the face of the middle aged
man who stands at the intersection
of two important thoroughfares and
gazes in silence at the ground before
him.
He is plainly but comfortably
dressed, his features are bronzed,
and his hands bear the marks of toll.
Citizens pass and repass, yet he
heeds them not. The roar of traffic
is all about him, but apparently he
does not hear it. His thoughts are
far away.
Who shall say that thoughts are
not things2 Who knows but that
the processes of the mind leave last
ing traces upon an environment
now unseen but as real as the visi-
bic and tangible thing we call mat
ter, and that some day, when the
veil is rent asunder and the spiritual
eye looks forth upon new universe,
1t will see in changeless forms the
real and substantial results of those
mental processes, and-but the man
is moving.
Slowly he stoops.
He picks up something from the
ground
He holds it. in his hand and looks
at it thoughtfully.
Then he steps forward
There is leisurely dignity in his
movements that we'll may challenge
the attention of the student of Amer
ican institutions and move him to
reflection upon the effects of those
institutions upon the national char
acter.
He stoops again.
He places carefully upon the
ground the object he has carried in
his hand.
Picking up an iron implement, he
brings it down once, twice, thrice
upon the object.
Then he straightens up, drops the
implement of iron and resumes his
contemplative gaze downward into
the bowels of the earth.
He is an employee of the street
department.
He is laying pavement. -Chica-

Politeness Killed Him.

There was this about Buffalo Jim
OF Kansas: He was IA natural born cav
alier. He'd fight a crowd of q dozen
men as soon as one, and he was king
bee in every border town, but when it
came to the female sex Jim put up
his guns. removed his hat and left him
self defenseless. He had been after
Black Tom for several weeks, hunt
ing him from one town to another, and
at length some one posted the fugitive
a. to Jim's chief characteristic, and
he took advantage Of it. He was at
Roaring River when Jim rode into
town at a late hour one evening and
located him and made a call at the
shanty. His hail was answered by a
woman, and as the man saw her he put
away his guns doffed his hat and smil-
ingly said:
Excuse me, ma a'am, but I'm look.

By this time Black Tom had crept

around to the corner, where he had a

ut the crack of his pistol Jim fell from
his saddle, and his career was ended.

Physicians Prescriptions.

The president of the American
Pharmaceutical association has an
alyzed 27, 900 prescriptions and ex
amined over 200, 900 additional.
These examinations showed that
only II vegetable drugs were pre-
scribed and 10 with metallic basis.
Over one hundred vegetable drugs
recognized by the pharmacopeia
were not used at all. 1t was further
demonstrated that a large number
of physicians used proprietary arti-
cles, not including elixirs, pills, tab
let's and fluid extracts. In this same
connection it may be remarked that
medical men are returning to the
old practice of leaving medicines
with their patients. In the old sad
dlebag days, when drug stores were
few and medicines difficult if not
impossible to obtain, the doctor al
ways brought his drug store with
him and doled out his pills and pow
ders to suit the needs of the patient.
Latterly the physician has been in
the habit of writing his prescription,
which is filled out at the pharmacy.
There have been very many cases,
however, when the wrong drugs
were prescribed, and, if the druggist
saw fit, articles not mentioned in
the prescription were substituted.
This has usually been done when
the supply had run out. In any
event, it is most culpable practice
So much of this has been done that
doctors have found it necessary, in
order to feel sure of the effect of
their remedies, to secure medicines
prepared by reliable firms and
known to he according to representa-
ton. This course has its advantage
both to doctor and patient, and as
the custom of carrying these arti-
cles increases it will no doubt be-
come more popular. New York
