SKATING AT sAL1sBuRY.s.
Young and Old Find a Lot of Sport at
the North End.

The skating on Salisbury pond was
excellent esterday-"Finer' was the
word with which the small boy de-
scribed it, and, as a result, many hun
dreds were there both afternoon ana
evening. The rain and subsequent
freeze had smoothed all the irregulari
ties of the ice, and the surface was
hard and firm. After the close of the
school in the afternoon, swarms of
children descended upon the pond. and
1t presented a gay appearance Almost
every one confined himself to plain
skating, but there were few who ven
tured to perform figure "eights" and
other hazardous numbers, and one man
had been so much impressed by the pic
ture of the ''fln de steele" skater IN
Wednesdays Spy, that he had sunnlied
himself with a short polo stick and a
pair of respondent golf trousers, and.
holding the former in both hands at the
new and proper height, he skated grace
fully about, the observed of all observ-
ers, the mould of fashion and the glass
of form. T" ~ rAa ~
The suggestion of the Spy about
lunch wagons had not been entirely nm
needed, for pop corn yender had taken
a commanding position and did a Land
office business all the afternoon.
Now and then 20 or 80 young men
would sweep down the pond in a long
line, but some public-spirited citizen
would always be found to break the
line and win the admiration OF ali the
little girls on the pond.

PILLS FOR THE MILLION.
How Medicated Tab cts Are Made in a
Big Worcester Drug Store

How many of the people VINO enjoy
poor health, and some of those who do
not enjoy 1t, but must perforce endure
it, know how or even care how the nice
little tablets which physicians give now
adays are made?
A large dealer in physicians supplies
showed a Spy representative over his
establishment recently, and 1t occurred
to the latter, watching the process Of
making these tablets, that possibly it
would interest some of the sufferers to
know the process of their manufacture.
The various drugs which form the
medicinal part of these tablets are first
sifted through the finest of wire sievss,
often composed of so or IS meshes to
an inch. They are then put into NOR
tars containing number of little
pestleS ovoid in shape, held in place by
what is termed a diaphragm, which
are kept constantly revolving by means
of an electric motor. There are three
of these motors kept constantly revolv-
Ing and grinding the drugs finer and
finer, until they are finer than the most
delicate -four When a sufficient degree
of fineness has been attained, the ma
chine is stopped by means OF a lever
and the drugs mixed to the consistency
of soft dough with alcohol and distilled
water. The dough Is then mixed upon a
slab of glass. There are number of
these slabs arranged upon a table or
bench, back Of which runs a f1ue il,
which an electric fan keeps a current of
cold air constantly moving.
At this table are seated neatly-clad
young women, who are kept busy filing
vulcanized rubber moulds with the
mixture. The moulds look like a
black perforated porous plaster Each
of the hundred holes which these moulds
contain must be well filed. The surplus
is then scraped off, and they are put
into the fiue, which contains slots for
this purpose. They are kept there for
five or ten minutes, and then pressed
out by means of plate especially made
for the work, and put into large box
to dry over night Each of the women
employed can make from $4,000 to 10000
of these tablets a day, and in times
when the demand has been great, have
been known to make $4,000.
These tablets are what are known as
handmade, and the cohesion of the in
| gradients is not so close as might be.
! There are others. however, which tine
physician uses which are known as the
| compressed tablet, in which the cohe-
sion is greater. These are produced in
somewhat the same manner, with the
difference that instead of being moulded
by the hand moulds, the medicated
dough is put into an automatic feeder
| and then the machine moulds them one
by one, producing one hundred and
more per minute, the additional force
used making them more compact

BLACK DRESS IN STORES.
To the Editor of the Spy:

To the Editor of the Spy:
1t may be of interest to some to know
that in the matter of regulating the
style of dress worn by saieswomen in
dry goods stores, America is about 81
years behind England When 1 was a
young man in London in 1855, the rule
to wear black dresses behind counters OIL
in any position of employment in a store
was first introduced by William Tarn &
Co., of Newington causeway. The idea
was pleasing both to employer and EN-
ployed, and in less than two years was
universally adopted not only in London
but in country stores. The ladies them
selves soon became conscious that they
individually appear to much greater ad-
vantage when dressed i'm black than in
colors, and are also pleased to be rid fol-
ever and all of the desire to out-vie each
other in dress-so frequently present in
the average young lady's mind. Every
lady, I claim, looks her very best when
dressed in black, and certain it is that
beauty needs no adornment.

FIRE ON PINK STREET.
An Overturned Kerosene Lamp Sets
Fire to a Mattress.

Box 81 was rung in at S.22 o'clock
Friday evening for small fire in the
house, Pink street, occupied by the
family of John Madison. A kerosene
lamp overturned, setting fire to mat

ly putting his after-dinner cigar un-
mindful of the rapidly approaching

back on their launches, and after con-
siderable lodging back and forth, the

swINDL1NG PIANO DEALERS.
! Suspicious Stranger From Georgia
Fails to Work His Game Here.


Local piano dealers have had an expe-
rience with man who represented
himself as a travelling salesman from
Macon, Ca, which leads the police to
connect the stranger with person who
has been swindling piano dealers in
other parts of the country by fraudu-
lent working of the instalment plan.
The scheme as operated in other places
was to hire piano and ship it out of
town, the operator following it.
a few days ago stranger went into
M. B. Lambs music store and told G.
M. Farnum, who was in charge at the
time that he wanted to buy a piano.
An instrument was finally shown that
suited him, and he agreed to take it,
payment to be made on the instalment
plan, $25 at the time of sale and SIS a
month thereafter until Sept. 1, when the
full balance of the bill was to be paid
The customer said he could not
make the first payment at once, but
would do SO within a few days. He
wished the instrument delivered at his
boarding house at once, however, ex-
planning that his wife, who was coming
to Worcester in a few days, was the
banker for the family and controlled
the cash.
Mr.. Farnum referred the customer to
Mr. Lamb as it was against the rules
Of the house to send out piano with
out the first instalment being paid. The
stranger approached Mr. Lamb and
told his story, adding that he was a
travelling salesman, formerly Of Macon,
Ga. and was to make Worcester his
abiding place.
Mr.. Lamb decided to hold the piano
until the first payment had been made.
Meanwhile he happened to think of an
article he had read in the Musical Cou-
rier, referring to a man Of the same
name. He wrote to the Courier explain
ing the case, and he received a tele-
gram the next day saying that a man
of the name given had worked piano
dealers successfully in cities Of Texas
and Kansas.
The telegram was taken to the police
station, where it was found that the
man had procured piano from an
other dealer in town.
After talking the matter over the Do
lice decided to let him 60 after the pi-
ano had been returned, as there was
no way of proving that he did not in
tend to pay the bill. The case was dis
posed Of by the man agreeing to leave
the city.
