CHINESE AND DRUGS.
THEIR scANT KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH
LEADS TO MISTAKES.

A Chinaman, talking In loud voice
and gesticulating, % Il the custom with
these heather whom they rage, attracted
quite crowd into drug store In one Of
the principal streets yesterday. A dis
gusted clerk, who had waited on the
Chinaman, was doing all In his power
TO pacify him, but the latter only howled
the more, "You heap foolee me; whs
fob you too much foolee me-" etc.
just a. the clerk had come to the con.
cluslon TO throw the disturber out, an
other Chinamsn came In and spoke to
his obstreperous countryman, who told
him what the trouble was. He had
bought bottle OF medicine for forty
cents, aud had asked for ten cents
change, bat instead Of giving ten cents
to him the clerk had put up another
package for him, which he did not want,
hence the row. As soon rs the clerk
found what Was the matter, he put down
the 10 cents, which the Chinamsn seized
and went out Of the door like shot from
q shovel.
The clerk explained that when he gave
the Chinamsn his medicine, which was
forty cents, he put down half dollar,
and said, "Give me chlnga, 10 cents. I"
The clerk understood that he wanted
ginger, and asked him to be sure. "Gim-
the chinga," was the reply, 80 the clerk
went and put up ten cents worth Of GIN
ger. and that caused all the trouble.
After the crowd had gone the clerk said
TO friend that this was nothing CON-
pared TO scrspe one OF the other
clerks got into With q Chinaman few
days since. This was q meek-looking
Chinsmsn, who came In with doctor,
who wrote out prescription, and asked
that II be compounded In a hurry aud
then given to the Chinamau. AZ the
Doctor went out, the Chinamsn said,
IAN lite. take UNI" The prescription
was compounded In graduate, and
handed 10 the Chinamsn, who declined
to take II. but could not explain why.
The clerk urged that the doctor said for
him to take It, and finally, getting little
vexed and tired Of the whole business,
was about to force the stupid fellow ia
take the medicine when he seized the
glass and swallowed the dose.
He rushed out muttering. and In few
minutes returned with the doctor, who
asked, ibid you make this Chinsmsn
take that prescriptions" "Of course,
did. You told me TO give II to him, and
I hsd lot OF trouble to get him to take
IT," "Dear, dear, dear" said the aston
ished doctor" II was 20 werful catharic
and was for friend OF his who IL sick
He was to take II To his friend"
"well, he hiss taken Il for his friend,
replied the clerk, "and much good may
IL do him"
Another dose was mixed for the sicl
msn, and his friend took that 10 a phisl
and remarking that the clerk was "hesI
too much damn fool, and that he M
ssbby," went his way. Both these clerk,
now avoid waiting on Chinese customers
