'There is field for girls in the
drug business, remarked druggist
to representative of the Washington
Star, Gas there is constantly in
creasing demand fog their services. I
could employ two myself if I could
secure them, and I know of several
other druggists who are in the same
position. For some reason which L
cannot understand there has been but
little opportunity for girls to learn the
drug business until the past five or
six years. Our experience with them,
as far as we could secure them, has
been exceedingly satisfactory. Though
the law and medical colleges opened
their doors to young women some
years ago, the colleges of pharmacy
held out against them, and the only.
way by which girl could learn phar
macy was to get employment in drug
store. Young women have been for
some years employed in many drug
stores as cashiers and as soda water
clerks, but somehow they are never
allowed to learn the art of compound
ing prescriptions. A few of the
homeopathic pharmacies broke the ice
and instructed young women to com
pound their medicines, and with this
knowledge of the business as starter
many were installed in the drug
stores. They proved themselves to
be excellent prescription clerks, and
there are many physicians who would
rather have them compound their pre-
scriptions than men. Of course, it is
not possible for girl to learn the
drug business unless she has sub
stantial education and o taste for it.
1t represents great amount of work
and many more hours in day, and
every day in the week, than almost
any other calling. A ,fundam mental
knowledge OF Latin is necessary, but
after one gets into the inside of the
business it will he found that there is

Facts About Hair,

Black hair was most esteemed by
the ancient Hebrews, while the
Greeks and Romans gave the prefer
ence to the golden tints, certain
shade of the red being much in vogue
among the ladies, who sought every
means of imparting the desired color
to their dark locks. 1t is said that
those with dark hair work the best.
while those with fair hair do the most
thinking.
People with very fair, almost color
less hair, accompanied by white
lasbes and eyebrows, are generally of
weak constitution, rather stupid,
fond of music, cut no great figure in
the world, and, being of harmless
and inoffensive disposition, are sell
dom missed when they leave it.
Black-haired persons, on the con-
trary, are strong and healthful, but
apt to be quarrelsome. If the hair is
smooth and straight it denotes con-
stancy, but if curly, great ardor in
the beginning of an attachment or the
pursuit of an undertaking, followed
by Inconsistency, want of application
and unfaithfulness.- s.-New York Press.

The taking of irst dose OF Chinese
medicine is an ordeal which can be
better imagined than described, says
u writer in Lippincotts. 1t is in
variably bitter decocticn. Ii the

them at home. A Chinese prescription
contains from ten to sixteen varieties
bf herbs, flowers, nuts, gums, barks
and roots. More than three thousand
species are classified and used as
medicine, but of these only some six
hundred are in general use. Whether
the patient takes the remedies at the
sanitarium or at home, he is re-
quested to present himself every day
before the doctor for another pulse

lists in the line of pharmaceutical
preparations, and prepare many medi-
cines for their own use in the form
of pills and powders; but these are
employed by the Chinese physicians
in treating ailments of white people
only to limited extent. The reason
given is that the simple, hot decoc-
lions OF the fresh root OF plant are the
best form, because the most readily

The question is often asked, Is
mourning going out of fashion? The
answer is yes and no. Among the
lower middle classes it certainly is;
among the upper section of society it
Is as much observed as it ever was.
Royalties set an example in this re-
spect in Europe, for their mourning is
always deep, and Grape is used to q
great extent by them. 1t is quite
true that the old system of things
which robbed the trappings of WOO Of
any undue becomingness has been
abolished, nor are these same trap
pings quite so funereal, for which let
us be thankful. The time of mourn
ing is also considerably shortened,
though there are still few people
who have more regard for the state of
their feelings than the dictates of
fashion.
After eighteen months it is merely
q matter of fancy whether the wearing
of mourning III its kindred stages
meaning mauves, gray and violet
shall be discarded altogether or if ono
shall resume the wearing of colors.
Age usually settles the point. Avery
young widow will undoubtedly take
advantage of the latitude thus al
lowed and emerge from her period Of
sackcloth and ashes in raiment of
brightest hue.
For immediate members OF the fam
lily mothers and sisters are required to
wear mourning for year. during the
last half of which it is ligh.ened. 1t
is not good form to appear at social
gayeties until the expiration of this
prescribed term. The younger mem
bers of the home circle may wear
white throughout the period if they
desire. A band of bombazine worn
on the sleeve of either a tan coat or
jacket is permissible badge of
mourning, but is not approved by
those authorities who insist upon the
strict and consistent observance Of
the rules, which means all black.

Frills of Fashion.

Women wearing mourning use only
the dull side aud back hair combs.
Velours foulard, very soft and glossy
in finish, is one of the novelties in
materials.
Elaborate white costumes of all
kinds will be deemed the most elegant
toilets for spring and summer.
The new foulard silks in pastel
colors blended char3.ingly in the cash.
mere designs must be seen to be ap-
preciated.
Cotton and silk grenadines are an.
other novelty, and the French challies
with satin stripes are more charming
than ever.
Gun metal purses, watches, chains
and umbrella handles are worn with
deep mourning. Better yet are the
chains of dull jet.
Red, running through the gamut OF
its glowing shades, from royal damask
and Jacque rose tints to light cherry,
will appear as a favorite accessory on
spring costumes.
The improvement in the manufac.
ture of crepe has rendered it rain.
proof, and their new finish protects
many other black materials from the
effect.cf the weather.
Among the new dress goods are seen
crepe de chine, silk and wool crepes
and grenadines in the new pastel
shades. Henriettas, those oldtime
favorites, Venetians and broadcloths,
will be much used for street gowns.
The new hats in sight show very de.
cided crowns more or less high and
sometimes broad, being made of fine
straw plated into form as if it were
cloth. Tucked taffeta silk hats are o

other, rushed together with the mo.
mentum of miniature cyclone.
Though apparently fierce and uncal-
culated, this meeting was totally
unlike the rushes Of unskilled fowls;
each cock was on his guard, and while
going at his enemy with great fury,
was neverthe less very careful to avoid
blows and picks. At first nothing
was visible but u revolving mass of
feathers, SO close were the two; in
the quiet of the intensely ex-
cited spectators, the thud, thud Of
blows striking on the thick coating OF
feathers on the breast could be plainly
heard; even the painful paintings and
gaspings of the two fighters were dis.
tinguishable; then, as the fury of the
onset grew spent, the cocks would
separate a little and strike at one an
other, springing high up in the air to
give and avoid blows.
Now we could see the fight plainly.
Though brutal, it must be confessed
that it was magnificent to witness the
skill with which the fighters feinted
and parried, struck savage blows which
were lodged with the skill of a mas
ter of the science, warded off some
swift cut which would seem as if i'm
possible to avoid and never for an in.
stant lost sight of the opponents eye,
seeming to read in it the contem,
plated move or spring.
Thus far, no blood had been shed,
it was purely an exhibition of skill,

sport not near as brutal as prize fight
ing. But the next round was more
fierce, and it was hard to tell which
cock was worst damaged when time
was called. The umpires rushed in
and each grabbed up cock and
handed it to the owner, who began to
look it over to see the extent of the
injuries, and then administered stim
ulants and smeared ON some kind oi
salve to stop the flow of blood.
We were surprised at this move Oh
the part of the umpires, and turned
to our Filipino friend to learn the
reason therefor. He explained it tc
US US being necessary precaution
taken to prevent the owner of losing
bird from administering sly cut te
the winner in the mix-up, an under.
hand trick which is quite favorite
with the artiess and gentle Filipino
The rest of the fight was a series OF
dashes at one another by the fighters
and brief dashes around the ring,
each in turn being pursuer and pur,
sued. At last the larger of the two
cocks managed to reach the throat OF
its opponent with an upward sweep OF
its gaff; the blow cut clean through
the windpipe, and the defeated birG
sank down in shower of blood anc
was dead before the umpires could gel
to it.
The victor, though haI dly able tc
stand from loss of blood and exhaus'
tion, gave a feeble crow, and was
snatched up with howl of triumph
by its owher, who disappeared in the
crowd. The beaten fowl was care
lessly taken up by the legs and
thrown aside, to feed the stray dogs
and vultures later on, proceeding
very characteristic of the natives; they
have no use for anything which will
no longer a.nuse or profit them.

Her Ideals Foibles,

A woman's ideal man can seldom be
described as good; never in the sense
of narrow sqeamishness. But little
iaults which have no touch of mean
ness and are essentially masculine
lind ready absolution at woman's
hands. With what note of tender
ness may she say, "You bad fellow!"
when he has mischievously tried her
patience by some purely manlike pee
cadillo. Would she be better pleased
if he had no such small failings to be
forgiven? Probably not. But of all
things a woman mosts detests in a
man are those little foibles which are
supposed to belong exclusively to her
own sex. but which really are of very
common gender. Woe to the. man
who is not manly! His very virtues
will count against him and only fur
nish material for ridicule. Anything
will be more readily forgiven him
than the mannerisms of n woman
