sI,2,ooo for a Prescription.

The largest sum ever paid for pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, Aug. 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock S112, $4,000 and
was paid by party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
cation Of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty seven
per cent Of the test cases were either
we'll or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports OF the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap-
plication. Address JOHN j. FuLToN

M.morlnls for Horses.

After their conflict with China a
few years, ago, the Japanese erected a
monument to the memory of the
horses killed in battle. The duke Of
Wellington built one at Strathfields-
aye, where the famous charger Copen-
hagen died. The height of Farley
Mount, not far from Winchester. Is
crowned with an obelisk erected to a
horse buried there. The name Of the
animal was Beware Chalk Pit. this
cognomen having been bestowed on
account of the fact that the horse dur
ing a hunt jumped into chalk pit
twenty feet deep. with its master on
its back. The obelisk Is landmark
for many miles around. The mention
Of this horse as hunter recalls the
fact that at Sandiway, in Cheshire,
there is monument to another AMI
NAL of the chase-a foxhound. Blue
cap was its name. and its exploits
were the theme of songs which are
not yet forgotten, though 120 years
have passed since the hound died.
Tho obei!sk was erected by the late
a. II. 6mith-Darry.

Latest whistler Story.

By the way. who has heard the la
test Jimmy" Whistler story? He was
dining with u friend In London, and
suddenly, when all had dined and were
back in the drawing-room, Whistler
said that he had almost forgotten it,
but he absolutely must write letter
and get it OF. by the nights post He
was told that in room at the head of
the first flight OF stairs he would find
the lights burning and pens, paper,
and ink at his disposal. He went up,
and presently there was heard series
OF bumps, endiLg in heavy thud at
the foot Of the stairs. The master had
tripped. lost his balance rand come
near having bad fall. The host ran
to him and asked II he was hurt. II
am not killed. II that's what you
meant" Whistler replied: but, tell me,
who built those stairs?" The host men,
toned the name of a builder unknown
either to Whistler or to fame. "Humph,
he did, eh? The D. teetotaler," said
Whistler.-Julian Ralph, in New York

Queer Art,ac,., Coal,

Certain ingenious Germans recently
advertised a machine by which, they
claimed. common peat could be trans
formed into artificial coal, at the rate
of $1.10 to $1.20 ton. According to
Mr.. Hughes, United States consul at
Coburg, there are grave reasons for
doubling whether the machine can do
any such thing. "The company" he
points out in his official report, "is
said to be located somewhere in East
Prussia and claims that Its process
will make a fuel that will take rank
between good English coal and an
thracite. 1t Is said the managers are
going to organize a company In the
United States, SO 1t would be well
for American investors to be cautious
till the real worth Of the process has
been proved. am informed that it
Is valueless." Consul Hughes uses
even stronger words of warning than
these, and 1t is evident that he re-
CARDS the enterprise as a most auda-
cious scheme for making money.-New
York Herald.

Mann Trick.


Not long ago, relates the Kansas
City Journal, the wife of a western
Kansas politician asked him to lay
aside politics long enough one day to
dig the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do 1t. After digging for a
few minutes he went into the house
and said he had found a coin. He
washed 1t off and 1t proved to be a
silver quarter. He put it in his Jeans
and went back to work. Presently he
went to the house again and said he
had found another coin. He washed
the dirt off of 1t. It was a silver half
dollar. He put 1t in his Jeans. Il
have worked pretty hard" said he to
his wife; 81 guess I'll take a short
nap." When he awoke he found that
his wife had dug all the rest OF the
potatoes. But she found no coins. II
then dawned upon her that she had
been worked"

"Well, ye-es-in a way" he said.
1.-THE other day at dinner ran across
an old bore OF a fellow, who expressed
the most ardent ambition to have a
ride in my racer. AS didn't take any
notice of his hints. my gentleman de-
liberately asked to be allowed to have
a ride, to which had to consent, as he
was a friend of the family, you know.

increase the speed gradually, as OF
course he would not then have felt 1t,
but just when he was in the midst OF
an ecstatic eulogy on the calm, even
floating motion of automobiling, !
turned on full speed and let the thing
fly He clung to his seat with his two
hands, his eyes fairly shining and
bulging with fear and excitement.
How do you like it?' asked. as the
wind whirled his hat OF. 'Wh-hy,' he
stammered between his gasps for
breath, my lad, I've Just solved the
problem of how to be happy though

His Frank Confession, Telling How He
Became Rich.
Talleyrand used to relate to his In
timates that when he moved into the
Rue de Grenelle he was SO poor that
though obliged to keep a splendid
staff of servants there was no cash to
pay their wages and that his stage
coach was unpaid for. The coach
builder having asked the statesman
when he could settle up. Talleyrand
smilingly replied: "Vous etes bien Gu
rieux." He was fond Of saying that
1t was a good thing to have been
stepped in the styx. sty1 souvenirs
may have urged Talleyrand to a course
for which the world abuses him; he
certainly showed an invulnerable un-
scrupulousness in financial negotia-
tions with certain foreign govern
ments. In his memoirs. while admit
ting that he had pocketed vast sums.
he insists that his services and diplo-
matte tact saved those clumsy admin
istrators double the sums they paid
to him. Talleyrand was worth 30.000.-
000f. at the coming Of Napoleon to the
throne. The emperor once asked his
minister how he became SO rich.
"Sire," replied Talleyrand. II bought
stock (rentes) the day before the LIST
Brumaire and sold them the day aft
er"-the date when Napoleon came
into power. 1t was at the house in
the Rue de Grenelle that he first met
the Princess de Talleyrand whom he
married-only by the civil law-upon
