The druggist, therefore, has much to do with the success or failure of the doctors treatment We have won golden opinions from the physicians of Phoenix on account of the accuracy and reliability of our prescription de- partment and the recognized purity and freshness of our drugs. Our policy is to boycott all adulterations and exclude them absolutely from our stock. Reap the benefit by sending all your prescriptions to us.

Luck in Hcrse Shoes.

81 have kept a horseshoe over nv
door for years." said man whom good
luck had never oppressed, "but luck
has never come my way very much,
and had almost begun to lose faith in
the horse shoe. But this morning a
friend of mine came along and saw the
horseshoe over my door.
"'IIellop he says. You've got your
horseshoe wrong end up
"'WhatY | says.
And he says I've got my horseshoe
wrong end up; I've got it hung with
the point up and the ends down, and
it ought to be hung with the point
down and the ends up. Hung the 9th
er way, the luck runs off.
And he says this is old as the hills.
He thought everybody knew that. But
| didn't; l never heard of it before.
But I've taken my horseshoe down
and hung it with the ends up; and
now I'm waiting"

Lying.

1t was said of DR.. Johnson that he
always talked as though he were tax
ing an oath. He detested the habit Of
lying or prevaricating in the slightest
degree, and would not allow his ser
wants to say he was not at home If he
was. "a servants strict regard for the
TRUTH" said he, must be weakened by
such a practice. If / accustom my SER
want to tell a lie for me, have not rea-
son to apprehend that he will tell them
for himself?' A strict adherence to
truth the doctor considered as sacred
obligation, and, in relating the smallest
anecdOte, he would not allow himself
the minutest addition to embellish his
story.

Raising Nrnshrnoms.

In France, where the nuritive and palatable
qualities of the mushroom fully appreci-
ated. large quantities are grown in private
houses. 1t is strange that the cultivation of
this excellent fungus has been so much neg
lected in other countries, especially when 1t
is considered how easily it can De undertaken.
Any family have fresh mushrooms all the
year around. All that is needed for the mi
tial equipment is placing in the kitchen on any
where around the house an old bureau or chest
of drawers, which can be used as cu1tivating
bed. Fill the drawers to the depth of six or
eight inches with an intimate mixture of good
rich soil and OLD, dry horse or COW dung in
equal parts. Having done this procure from
your seed dealer some fresh mushroom spawn
(the French is the bes) and insert it at vari-
Gus points on the surface of the soil. Sprinkle
the surface lightly with water and the he is are
ready. If the drawers close tightly in front the
back of the stand should be removed and a
curtain tackled up as TO shut out the light.
In a few days the mushrooms will begin ia
show up plentifu1ly. but 1t will be fortnight
before any fit to cal can be gathered The
bed will last, with occasional watering. for
many months and will furnish almost every
day a good yield of champignons.
