up-To-DAre IMPROVEMENTS.

Shamalia's drug store, on Bridge
street, always neat and cosy, has been
greatly improved recently, and now il
looks most attractive in It's bright,
tasteful and handsome fittings. The
store has been painted in white and
gold, the side walls papered in imita-
ton white thing, the floor covered
with new inlaid linoleum, mosaic tile
pattern, new marble counters, and n
large floor show case added
The leading feature of the improve
ments, however, is splendid "Leona'
soda water fountain, Chas. Lippincott $
make, that displaces the old one,
which was not Il "back number by
any means. This new fountain is oil
Sienna marble and white Mexican
onyx, of artistic design, with latest
patent fitting syrup jars, oscillating
onyx and silver double-stream draft
tube, and two mineral drafts A gold
and white canopy surmounts il, with
French mirror in the back, and around
opalescent electric globe pendant from
the centre of top. Below the fountain
are placed the refrigerator, ice cream
and milk cabinet, &c, aurmounted by
marble slab
Notwithstanding all this beauty and
convenience, it would not amount to
much il il were not for the fact that
back of the handsome counter is fine
fresh stock of trustworthy goods, sold
at lowest prices, and delicious soda
water, milk shake, etc, prepared with
reference to healthfulness and with
pure syrups and favors, the popularity
of which shows their excellence.

Harrison Massey, young son of
George W. Massey, of this city, tried
an experiment one day last week which
he is not likely to repeat. He found
flask of powder in the work shop in
the rear of his grandfathers MIR. Car
ver's) garden, and decided that he
would try to do little blasting ON his
own account. He found rock in the
garden and put the powder under it.
Applying lighted match to the ex-
plosive, it responded very promptly.
The blnst was success, but it did
more than was expected of it it burnt
both hands, his face, his right eye and
ear, and singed his hair His clothing
caught fire, and this came very near
causing serious results. 1t was fear-
ed ut first that his eye was seriously
injured, but that does not prove to be
the case.

As they build their summer home

Ger the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring Your blood is freighted
With the germs that cause disease,
