The Velocity of Light.

1t requires four years and four
months for ray of light to reach
us from the nearest star, and yet
light travels at the rate of 1856, $50
miles in a second. At this rate a
first class express train running at
the speed of 81 miles an hour would
require continuous run of 75,000,-
600 of years to reach Alpha Cen
tauri. 1t would take 250, 600, 900 of
years for a cannon ball travelling at
the usual speed of such projectiles
to reach this same point, which is
our nearest star neighbor. New

The druggist of the present time
does not differ greatly from his
brother of the eighteenth century.
The extensive use of proprietary
medicines, especially in America,
has, however, decreased his prescrip-
tions, but at the same time these
proprietary medicines are sold
through him and sell SO largely that
he does not complain. While USE
full and able member of the commu-
nifty, the pharmacist of today is not
an original investigator or a pre-
scriber and limits his efforts to fill
ing the prescriptions that are sent
him by his friends, the physicians.
Every year he becomes a greater
adept at his art, which with the
course of time has come to be con.
sidered a branch of trade rather
than a profession, while the drug
gist is looked upon in the light of a
skilled laborer. The most success
full druggist of the present time is
not he who mixes his drugs most
skillfully, but he who has the bust
ness capacity to make his shop prof
liable to him. 1t is often the drug
gist least skilled in the art of phar-.
macy that possesses this capacity.
1t is not unreasonable to believe
that, as humanity progresses in its
knowledge of hygienic living, sub
ject in which great interest is being
taken today, the drug shop will be
in less and less demand until, after
the lapse of ages, it may become en-
tirely extinct. Until that time the
druggist will continue to ply his
calling, alleviating by bis drugs the
ills of a too rapid civilization, in
which men have no time to rest and
repair their wasted energies, but
simply patch them up by the use of
the apothecary's wares, and because
of this the druggist will for a long
time remain an important member
of any community in which he
chooses to establish himself. Lip

We notice that some of the ter
ritory newspapers are crltlclslng
the Dawes commission-that 1t is
accomplishing but little, and that
the members seem to be working
only to hold their job-all of
which is wrong conclusion. 1t
may appear to those unacquainted
with the situation that the Dawes
commission has not accomplished
much; but to those who know the
real state OF affairs, this opinion is
reversed. This commission has
had stupendous work to accomp-
lish up-to-date, beset with many
and difficult obsticles, which have
been mostly overcome, and the
work to be accomplished is still
great. That the members of this
commission are men Of ability and
integrity is we'll known. Their
position is a responsible and I'M
portant one, above a mere job or
party politics. Mr.. McKennon,
the oldest member of the commits
sion, is Democrat, but retained
by a Republican administration

ty. Credit to whom credit is due.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

The Christmas tree is a thing Of beauty,
says the Philadelphia Record.
No other tree bears such diversity OF
fruit or brings with its poisoning such
Jlyful wonder. But would it not be bet
ter if Santa Claus. inventive Santa,
should rack his fertile brain for some
substitute? Would it not be better to let
the Christmas tree grow on its native
heath. and have it every day in the year!
The following utterance from The Con-
sentative is unsympathetic and crusty;
but it is suggestive:
Mutilation and destruction Of the
young pine forests growing up in various
sections OF the Republic for the purpose
of getting Christmas trees will soon open
a new campaign in favor of droughts.
billiards and infertility.
Millions upon millions OF the straight
est. most symmetrical and vigorous hem
locks, spruces, pines and balsams will
soon be aboard freight cars and going
toward cities to be put into homes for
Christmas trees. which shall bear tin bells,
dolls. bon-bons. glass bulbs and all sorts
OF jimcracks. for the amusement of chill
dren.
The generation following will want for
lumber which these Christmas trees
would have made. The birth of Chris,
could be celebrated:with more common
sense than.by depriving thes human fami-
lies which will follow us of the material
out of which TO construct and embellish
their homes.

for the destruction OF Cervera's feet that

credit for their good work off Santiago.
