The Townsend Leader says that

overhaullng the bridges and trestles
on the Port Townsend Southern rail
road. Following this work will be the
putting in of new ties. For the past
two years a large number of pew ties
have been placed under The track, and
there are now some $4,000 ready to be
laid. When these are put in there will
be practically, new ties the whole
length of the line. The extension of
the road to Olympia will cause heavy

The home Of chestnuts Is In France,
where an enthusiastic admirer declares
that they are las common as beans In
Boston," on such an extensive scale are
they cultivated that one factory In
Lyons handles over twenty-five million
pounds every year. The "marrons"
are of course the great luxury, but
among the poorer classes the smaller
chestnuts, or "chatignes," are eaten.
The United States consul at Lyons,
John c. Covert, visited large chestnut
factory which employs two hundred
and fifty women and girls. The chest
nuts are peeled and boiled and placed
for three days in a vanilla syrup; then
they are drained coated thinly with
vanilla, and prepared for shipment.
Mr.. Covert Is anxious that America
should go extensively into chestnut
growing and believes that as sugar is
fifty per cent cheaper here than in
France, the candicd product would
soon undersell the French article.
However, as marion trees 40 not

old, Mr.. Covert admits that there Is no
immediate prospect of reduction In
the price Of the candied nuts.

INSURANCE FOR DRUGGISTS.
Liability for Losses from Mistakes IL
Now Provided For.

One of the latest things in the fidei-
'ty and casualty line is to insure dtrg-
gists against what Is called the wrong
prescription man. For SIS or S25 a year
several companies down town guaran-
tee druggists against damages arising
from mistakes In compromising drugs.
The idea of insuring druggists against
loss from their own mistakes original
ed in the belief of q number of leading
pharmacists that they were the victims
of gang of rogues who made a prac.
tice of pretending that wrong medicines
had been given to some member of their
families. sometimes with serious re-
suits. The gang was partly broken up
by the fidelity company, which first as
sumed the responsibility of protecting
druggists at IS year each. An officer
of this company says that there are
fully 1000 mistakes year in the COM
pounding of drugs.
while there are SO many genuine
mistakes" lie continued, there are
many alleged errors IN mixing mcdi.
zines. and some Of the complaints are
invented for the sole purpose of extract
ing money from the retail druggists.
Our company guarantees to protect
druggists against themselves, but our
main desire Is to prevent fraud on the
part of those who want to blackmail
one of our clients for something he has
not done.
ut Is u serious matter to make mis-.
take In mixing drugs, but 1t Is frequent
ly even more serious to the druggist to
have IL noised about that such a mis-
take was made. l have known chem
lists to be forced out Of business by the
publicity given to the fact that they
made a blunder. Dishonest persons
have recognized the fear that druggists
have Of an exposure of this kind. and
have taken advantage Of the know
ledge.
"Since we undertook TO prevent them
number Of druggists have confessed
to paying big sums to persons who said
mistakes were made. have the names
Of half dozen so-called doctors who
have aided the gang that was engaged
in the business of bleeding chemists.
"Still, there Is nothing really remark
able in this protection Of druggists. For
instance, we have n special insurance
for saloon-keepers. guaranteeing then,
against financial loss through being
locked up for violation Of the excise
law."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The grandest bridges of the Romans
were aqueducts, but after centuries Of
unrest the noblest conceptions of archi-
lecture were realized In the Gothic
churches. There was little demand for
roads, bridges. and still less for aQue-
ducts. Yet the monks did not build
cathedrals and monasteries only. To
them we owe the introduction Of fat
