PRESCRIPTION TRADE.

A New York druggist, in speaking of the drug trade recently, made somewhat surprising statement as to the prescription trade of a modern drug store.
 Ten or fifteen years ago. he said, ''it was the custom, when q doctor called upon a sick patient, to write out prescription and have it filled at the drug store. Nowadays, twO-thirds of the doctors carry their own medicines, no matter what school they belong to, and the prescription business has thus practically been taken away from the druggist.
 Modern invention in the preparation of drugs and medicines is what has done it. Doctors now are enabled to carry a good sized drug store right along with them in tablet form, and the number of prescriptions is growing fewer each year. There is now not much necessity of the prescription clerk staying all night in the store.
 Druggists are nowadays depending for their incomes on the soda water counter, proprietary articles, perfumes. toilet sundries, the public telephone booth. the investigation of the city di- rectory and the postage stamp buyer" Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

AS TO MADE-UP WOMEN.

The San Francisco Bulletin. in an editorial entitled Few Men Are Wise in Judging Women" says:
 There are women whose hair is bleached, whose eyebrows are penciled, and whose cheeks are rouged, and some husbands are ready to take oath that their wives do not make up"
 It is unfortunate that our contempo- rary makes this fact-if it is a fact public. If there are men who have made-up wives without knowing it. why undeceive them? What is the thing for which every enc on earth is striving? Happiness. Now, a man must be deeply in love who can look at his wife's bleached hair rouged cheeks, and penciled eyebrows and not know that she is made up. He must be completely under the spell which she casts with her borrowed charms. And if he is bllndly in love with his wife, he must be happy. Why not let him enjoy his spurious treasurer ? Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise. Why open the sausage skin to see what is inside ?-Chicago Record Herald

 The orthodox Quakers, once so nu- merous, built the meeting house, but all save Miss Lippincott have died, joined other meetings, or united with the Hicksites.
 If Miss Lippincott should fail to hold services in the little meeting house it would revert to the heirs of the orig inal owner or the land, but so long as services continue to be held there, it cannot be disturbed, and, therefore, she never fails to be at the door, with the big brass key, at the hour for services on First" and Fifth" days.-Woods- town, N.

TOILET OF ANTS.

A naturalist has been making obser vations on the toilets of certain ants. and has discovered each insect goes through most elaborate ablutions. They are not only performed by herself, but by another who acts for the time as lady's maid. The assistant starts by washing the face of her companion, and then goes over the whole body The attitude of the ant that is being washed is one of intense satisfaction. She lies down, with all her limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls over on her side, even her back, perfect pie ture of eese. The pleasure the little insect evinces of being thus combed and sponged is readily enjoyable to the observer.-London Express.

The rise of the elder Krupp from a small
establishment employing IL men and his
struggle with poverty is one of the most
romantic instances of great wealth real
lied from improvement in manufacture,
PROFITS OF GUN MAKING.
But comparatively few years ago the
entire net wealth of Friedrich Krupp's
father would hardly realize as much mon
ey as many an unskilled laborer possesses
in his own bank account today.
The original inventor of the Krupp gun
lived in q three-room house, and at one
time sold all of the family silver to meet
debts, if we may trust current reports.
Now, as the result of his fathers improve
ments and his own business talents and
improvements, Friedrich Krupp is count
ed the wealthiest man in Europe, with a
fortune estimated at $500, 100000, made
primarily in gun manufacture.
The improvements of Krupp were not
so great, nor of so fundamental a nature
as the invention of Down East Yankee,
J. H. Brown, born in Maine. This great
est inventor of the world in his field has,
for about fourteen years, been with a
scientific staff of ordnance experts, study
ing out the problem OF using the strongest
and cheapest possible forms OF steel;
namely, wire and sheet steel to construct
O gun of such strength and toughness
as to defy explosion by powder as well
as to be beyond competition in economy

There is considerable speculation as
to whether Supt. Fred w. Ames is a

have looked up several supreme court

would hold that he was a fugitive from

awaiting him should he return.
From the very nature of things it
must be apparent to him that there are
indictments against him, if he were not
trying to evade the law he would not
keep his whereabouts such a secret. 1t
has not yet been decided whether the
state will go after him in due time if
he does not show up, and locate him, if
possible, and thereafter get extradition

q THE BROWN SYSTEM.

Instead of large bodies OF steel fitted to
and shrunk one upon another, IS is the
present practice in built up guns or solid
tubes wound with wire, as in the wire
wound guns, Mr. Brown uses fiat sheets of
steel involuted, telescoped into tube, and
then wound with wire.
This secures the maximum of strength
longitudinally and circumferentially with
the minimum of weight.
The harder these sheets are forced to.
Eether, the less they can slip, thus friction
of the sheets upon each other is so great in
the finished gun that the sheets will actu-
ally tear before they will slide on their
surfaces. thereby producing under COM
preston o stronger tube than solid tube
made by forging, casting or drawing.
This has been proven by scientific test
and insures the enuire aggregate Of the ten
sile strength of all of the sheets used to
secure longitudinal stiffness without flaws
or cross strains, to also prevent bursting
in addition to the strength of the wire
windings for that purpose. IaVJ -.
The tube thus formed is then wound
with wire, producing an initial compress
sion at the surface Of the bore which can.
not be overcome by the explosion of gun
powder. .ss>z1~ - -

The elder Booth acquired a skull for
use in Hamlet in an odd manner
The tragedian, somewhat in his cups,
was travelling near Louisville, when he
took a horse from field and rode off
with it. Horse stealing at that time
was capital offenSe in Kentucky, and
the greatest horse thief was a man
named Fontaine. Booth was soon over
taken and when asked where he got
the animal, said:
Il captured him in a field back
here"
Indeed" said one of the farmers.
"And what might your name be?"
MY name is Fontaine," said Booth,
without a smile.
"Fontaine!" calculated both men
simultaneously. Then you are the
very man we want. Come back to
town with u.s."

good-natured manner, and, wheeling
the horse, he rode back to Louisville
with his captors.

The rustics were about to be locked
up, when, by the most singular coin

Fontaine's acquaintance in Jail and the
