CORNER DRUG STORES.
The Rapidly Multiplying Saloons Are
Crowding Them from Their
EavOrite Place.

The corner drug store, with its flash
ing colored lights, is destined to event.
ually disappear. The drug store of the
not far distant future will be in the
center of blocks, especially in the
downtown and business districts.
Whether this will be due to the march
of progress is another story. The sa-
looms will occupy the corners as rule.
In Broadway, New York, there are not
half dozen drug stores on prominent
corners from the Battery to Central
park. The saloons and other businesses
outbid the druggists in the matter of
rents. The drug business has been
badly invaded by dealers in other lines,
who have added to their general stocks
patent medicines, fancy goods, toilet
articles, and the thousand and one
things no one thought of seeking out
side of drug store few years ago.
But the drug stores still hold on to the
profitless but accommodating trade IN
postage stamps.
Already in Chicago, says the Chron-
icle, "the middle of the block" knows
several drug stores, and as leases ex-
pire In the coming years there will be
many removals to similar locations by
prominent downtown stores, all on ac-
count of higher rentals offered by
other lines of business, most frequent
ly from liquor dealers. Already sa-
looms have been built around several
downtown corner pharmacies in IL"
shape, and the owners are eagerly
awaiting the time when an opportunity
will come for them to outbid the drug
men for the corner space.

JIM'S BABY.
Returns with an Indian
Infant.

Two yeare ago, when the Klondike
fever was an epidemic on the Pacific
coast, says Truth, John Harms and
wife, Of Suisun, with their three
months-old baby, took passage on a
steamer from San Francisco to the gold
fields. They took with them from their
home q large dog, of no special breed,
but, az Mr.. Harms saya, "dogs are
valuable on the Yukon" and, 40 Mrs.
Harms said, "Jim was baby's protect
or" The many stories of dogs affec-
ton for children were not exaggerated
in Jdm's case. Hisonly object of earth
1y worship was that baby. After .
few months residence ON Bonanza
creek. the baby died, and Jim was in
consolable. He would not permit
caresses. or attentions even from his
master, but kept watch over the little
mound on the hill for many days and
nights. One day he came home, and.
after being fed by Mrs. Harms, trotted
of in the direction of an Indian village
about mile distant. He was gone for
two or three days One evening, when
'Mr. and Mrs. Harms were ca ting their
evening meal, they heard Jim's scratch
on the door, and upon opening it there
he stood, wagging his tail ferociously
and looking very happy, and at his feet
lay little Indian baby he had stolen
and carried home, tied up dn a piece Of
old blue blanket, with nothing visible
but its little round face.

PUSSY is VERY Wise.
Letter Comes for Her and
Opens IL Readily.

An East side woman has a cat that
can tell when letter comes addressed
for her, says the Augusta (Me.) Jour
nal.
The owner of the cat spoke of it's
ability in this direction to friend who
was making q call.
IA letter!" exclaimed the caller, in
surprise.
"Yes, q letter, and If you don't be-
lieve it l will prove it to you. Just
wait "a minute until direct one."
The woman left the room, and in a
few minutes returned with a sealed
envelope addressed 10 Miss Pussy, No.
- Bangor street, city.
"Now," said she, IF you will kindly
post that for me tonight and be here
when the postman comes around on his
first delivery tomorrow morning you
will see that am telling you facts"
The caller mailed the letter as she
was asked, and was at her friends
home promptly the next morning.
Soon the bell rang, and shortly after
ward the servant entered with bundle
Of letters, among which was that for
Miss Pussy.
Sure enough, pussy at once showed
an interest, and in a moment had
pushed aside with her paw the envelope
addressed to her.
The visitor was about to express her
surprise, when the woman of the house
said: wait a moment. She'll oreI it
and eat up all that is in the envelope"
Scarcely had she said this when Miss
Pussy had torn the envelope open and
was enjoying her letter very much.
The envelope was filled with catuip.

customed though they are to the varia-

the oldest manifesto tom of the CID
mate was in the fact that nea1ly all
the men who had gold filings in their
teeth discovered before they left Cuba
or soon after their return home that
the filings had either loosened or
dropped out altogether, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
Whether the gold shrnnk or the

the peculiar climatic conditions ~
something that returned warriors have
not determined, but certain they are
that some strange things happened
which made the filings loosen and drop

the original operations have been busy
ever since trying to explain the why's.

ATE DURING THE FIGHT.
Admiral schley and Capt. Cook Not
Worried Enough to Lose
. Meal.

It seems that Admiral Schley and
Capt. Cook sat down to dinner while
the Brooklyn was chasing the unfor-
tunate but gallant Colon. There's
American assurance for you, says the
Kansas City Star. At the close of q
tremendously important battle, which
settled a war and changed the map Of
the world, the commanders on the
United States flagship, pursuing at top
speed the last of the enemy, whose
guns still belched defiance, sat down to
dinner, which, no doubt, was served in
style and with strict regard for gas
Economical etiquette.
II will have bit of the tomato
SOUP" remarked the admiral. "Ah,
that must have been five and one-half
inch shell, eh, captain?"
Sounds like it-pass me the celery"
replies Capt. Cook.
With the cheese and black coffee and
cigars the enemy is overhauled and
driven ashore, the Spanish sailors dot
ting the sea like drowning rats and the
aged Cervera tearing his beard in the
agony of disaster. Then, after quaffing
chartreuse, the American admiral ap-
pears on deck and orders all boats low
cred and all efforts made to save the
lives of the saturated Spaniards.
There ought to be fairly good mate
rial In this incident for light opera.
There was nothing half SO naive or
amusing in "Pinafore."

cENTENAR1AN PENSIONERS.
The Queer Discovery That Has Just
Been Made By the Spanish Mia
istry Of Justice.

Annuitants never die. The fact has
just been illustrated by a circular from
the Spanish ministry Of justice to the
collective prelates of Spain. A law was
passed in 1887 dealing with the Spanish
national debt, according to which law
there were certain nunsinSpanish con.
vents and sisterhoods who held lien
on the state for small allowance to
be paid by. the treasury to each MEM
ber yearly. The circular goes on to
state, In calm, official style, that in 1887
the youngest of these religious ladies
was II, the eldest was 66. Between
them comes q varying List of ages. and
all these ladies, be it remembered, were
state ,annuitants., And now we are in
1898, and not single death has been
recorded in these 81 years. The nuns
have with complete unauimity and uni.
formity paced peacefully through the
century, and remain q perfect and un-
broken body of annuitants still. The
youngest would be 78, the eldest 127,
and almost all the others have scored
their three figures The treasury finds
Something suspicious in this unbroken
succession of centemarians, costing It
mo lese than 10000 francs. Their lord
ships are asked for an explanation and
the venerable nuns are invited to fur
nish proof. that they really are alive,
"failing which," says the circular,
abruptly, "ye shall b scheduled a.

BIG GARDENS.
The First aHd Greatest Was Eden
Ornamental Lands Of the
Infant Races.

The controlling idea Of ancient art
was to beautify the earth. The entire
world was conceived in eastern imagd-
nation as a garden, says Hppincott's.
The great mountains and broad val
leys with their rivers and wooded
plains, were but the modern park rem
dered colossal. Like Estes park, in
Colorado, or the Yellowstone National
park, inclosdng thousands Of square
miles and whole mountain ranges all
kept as delight to the eye, the east
ern abode of men, including the whole
visible world, was deemed an object fit
to be beautified, in which landscapes,
cities and contiguous kingdoms were
to be elements and play the part which
statues and shrubbery do with us. The
first garden of the world-Eden-was
the greatest. and the ornamental lands
Of the infant races were co-extensive
with the world. All Syria glittered in
the sun with sparkling cities that
dotted its warm plains like the white
dwellings scattered on the hills OF
southern France. It was a garden in
which cities were the flowers and
mountain ranges the retreats, where
the valley Of Rasselas and the vale
of Cashmere would be but sunny spots.
About the earliest work Of art pro-
jected in that countryside tower of
Babel-was designed to be monu-
ment so high that all the world could
see it. Like Pfkes peak to the emf
grants Of the plains, 1t was to be uni
versal guide, which, like compass OF
landmark, should prevent the people,
wherever wandering, from scattering
beyond recall.

a commodious and handsome building,
with a clock tower. Then followed the
grandest oyster banquet ever held in
England.
Apropos, the Sketch celebrates the
oyster at length, saying in the course
of it's article: The most interesting
experiments in oyster culture have
been made in Holland. The Dutch pos
sessed splendid natural beds among
the islands Of iceland, and in the
Zuyder Zee, but excessive dredging had
almost exhausted them. In 1870 1t was
determined to try the effect Of oyster
culture. In the neighborhood Of Yer.

were withdrawn from the public and
leased out for is years to oyster cul-

A TERRIBLE PLANT.
1t Grows in Mexico and Its Toxic
Properties Are Deadly in
Effect.

Among the plants of the ca rtb prob
ably none possess stranger properties
than the talavatch of Mexico. Its tox-
ic effects are remarkable as those as
cribed to the tabled waters of the
Lethe, only do they differ in that in
stead Of destroying the .memsry of the
past, as the Letheon potion was sup
posed to do, the talavatch works a de.
struction of the memory Of the things
to come, and does not affect the mem
ory Of the past. The victim knows no
more Of time, but that which is in the
past before he has quaffed this strange
and awful decoction. The physical
functions are in no wise disturbed by
its administr alton. but the mind hence
forth becomes no longer receptive, and
passing events are not noted by it, and
no record 10 made in the realm of rea-
son as to what transpirea The VIC
tim often lives for years after having
been "talavatched," but always liveS
in the past. Past delights are mostly
dwelt upon and conversed about. Sad
indeed is the case of member of the
royal family Of Mexico, relic of the
days of the empire. who for years has
BEEN the victim of the effects of this
wonderful drug. She was poisoned
with 1t by an untaithful servant, and
to-day lives in strict seclusion, still in
her mind the proud possessor Of all
the privileges of her departed nobility.
There is in Texas plant of similar
species known as the loco weed. which,
when eaten by horses, always renders
them insane, but produces no impair
ment Of body.
