Druggists Not Liable.

According to decision in the New
York Supreme Court, in this city, if
you go TO a drug store for treatment
and suffer thereby you cannot recover
damages. A butcher named Ferdinand
Roth cut his thumb and went to a drug
store for treatment The drug clerk
gave him lotion in a bottle labeled
carbolic acid and told him to keep his
thumb wet with the stuff and it would
heal. The butcher put on wet band
ages, as directed, and very soon blood
poisoning set in. The end of it was
that his thumb was amputated. He
sued the druggist for $4,000, but court
dismissed the suit. saying that the COM
plainant should have gone to a regu-
larly qualified medical practitioner and
not to druggist.

The shortne.s of Life.

What always strikes one so forcibly
is, l think, the shortness of human
life. compared with other works of
nature The longest life-how short
1t is! and half of it one can hardly call
life, being spent in sleep, which is
not real existence.
A French preacher heard once
brought the shortness of life strongly
before me by relating in his nermon
how saint, in olden days, wishing to
impress on himself the rapidity of life's
race, when he came to years of dis
cretion, placed so marbles in a glass
jar, each marble to represent year of
human life, taking 80 years as an out
side limit very far exceeding that.
Then, taking another glass jar, from
the first one he took the number of
marbles representing the years he had
already passed, and placed them in the
empty jar, and then year by year ex-
tracted marble from the other, till,
more rapidly than he could have
dreamed, the two jars contained 40
marbles each. Then still more swiftly
did each year seem to speed away, and
what had SO short a time before been
the full jar became the nearly empty
one, till three, two and then only one
marble remained, and life. which
had looked so long at starting, had
swiftly and silently melted away.-C.
