The three large wholesale drug houses

tail druggists than aHy city in the coun-
try. They sell drugs in every State west
of the Mississippi River. and in the
Southern States. St. Louis is an all
around drug town. that does not run to
specialties. T'lsse stores carry a very
large stock on hand of all the many ar
ticles that are sold by the retail trade.
The wholesale drug business is becom-
ing more concentrated and the three
present houses do a much larger business
than was formerly done by six.
The business here has been very pros
porous in the past few years. and it Is
a remarkable fact that the oldest house
in the city, which Is also the oldest whole
sale drug house west of the Alleghenies,
has been of late going ahead much more
rapidly than either of its younger rivals.
Since one Of its officers gave up public
office to devote all of his time to pri-
yate affairs, this house has doubled its
business in the past four years.
St. Louis has the largest wholesale drug
house in the world.

RAILWAY EQUIPMENTS.
Pneumatic Tools by Compressed

This city has made rapid progress In
the past few years in the manufacture of
different kinds of railway equipments,
especially in freight car roofing and pneu-
matte tools The useful application of
good compressed air tools is we'll known
to all mechanics. and it is continually
demonstrated that a shop of any size
cannot well afford to be without these
small portable tools for doing their work
on iron and steel. These compressed air
tools are very light great labor savers,
easy to handle, and economical Com
pressed air tools are used to take the

drills. wood boring, and for cutting and
trimming all kinds of metals.
Although pneumatic or compressed air
tools are now generally used improve
ments in the mechanism are being daily
made. By the time the st. Louis house

that so many changes for the better
have been made that they really need

This business IS steadily gaining ground
in st, Louis, and it is one in which our

east From off Nantucket till well
over the Grand Banks we were repeat
eddy delayed by heavy fogs. After that
the boat made from $50 to $50 miles per
diem. Early on the morning of the
ninth day we sighted Tory Island, off
the northwest coast of Ireland The
Catholic priest told me there were about
forty families on this rocky islet, who
gain a livelihood by fishing. They have
small church and a resident priest.
They are pure Celts and their civiliZa-
ton is very crude as they seldom see
anyone from the mainland though only
nine miles away. They fish in light
canoes-frail craft that ride on a
heavy sea when a common fishing boat
would not live. They kneel in their ca
noes and are very skillful in balancing
while hauling in the largest fish They
are also expert swimmers-men and
women both.
We skirted along the Irish coast to
Neville, where some of our friends
were taken off in a tender; then we
crossed over to the Scottish shore, past
the null of Kintyre, the lovely island
Of Arran, and Ailsa Craig, then leaving
the Firth of Clyde, we assembled the
river, whose beautiful banks are a
joy forever. to Greenock with its rich
foliage and handsome stone houses. It's
streets were neat and clean and the

particularly attractive. Our hand
satchels and trunks were examined by

and then with four other compagnons
